Summary
“I don’t expect he left it to you when he retired.”
That garnered a tired laugh. “No, retirement is often… out of the question for those with your ‘condition,’ as I understand it.”
He spoke around it so delicately, what she was. He wouldn’t overtly argue with Imperial dogma, but he wouldn’t impugn her just for being a psyker, either—maybe couldn’t, given the Warrant of Trade. The same blood was damning and sanctifying her. Or maybe it was simpler than that. Maybe she was his Lord Captain, and he was her Seneschal; maybe that was enough.

A Pleasure To Burn by aseariel for LoveOfOurOwnFate

Summary
She looked, as she always did, radiant, a fact he was finding particularly difficult to ignore when she was watching him with mirth instead of wariness or exasperation.
“When,” she asked, “was the last time someone asked you to dance, Master van Calox?”
A muscle in his jaw twitched. Calcazar's lingering presence was putting him on edge, making him aware of anything—everything—that could be out of place, misconstrued, but he indulged himself in the mildest of teasing. “That's classified, I'm afraid.”
She grinned up at him, green eyes sparkling like fresh leaves under spring rain. “I suppose it’s fitting that an Inquisition man wouldn’t kiss and tell.”
He raised an eyebrow. “I am more in the habit of extracting information than disseminating it, certainly.” It occurred to him belatedly that an oblique reference to his particular profession was probably not an appropriate response to flirting, at least if he wanted said flirting to continue.
Fortunately, Amberlyn was unfazed, and she clicked her tongue. “Shame, you probably have stories that could curl more than a few toes here.” She deftly picked two glasses off of a passing tray and offered one to him.

A Simple Offer by aseariel for CatDa3mon
Fandoms: Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader (Video Game)
30 Nov 2025

Summary
Clouds drifted back over the moon, dulling the light and softening the shadows. There was something… almost lonely, to the way Haveloch stood silhouetted on his balcony, smoking. Such was the fate of the God-Emperor’s chosen, perhaps—to stand above and apart.
“I am not keeping you from your rest, am I?” asked Solomorne.
“Naaah. To be honest, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep for a while yet.”
“I see.”
“If you aren’t likely to, either, you could join me. If you wanted.”
It was a simple offer. Simple as Heydari’s candor, and the darkness often present under Haveloch’s eyes. Solomorne had assumed the earlier offer was Heydari’s idea—and perhaps it was—but he wondered if what he initially believed to be a motive of mischief was something… simpler. Softer.

Welcome to Footfall, Rogue Trader by sighamadaravv
Fandoms: Warhammer 40.000, Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader (Video Game), The Gift Exchange
31 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Presented through epistolary vox-transmissions and archived responses—this collection captures the events of the Sixth Von Valancius Exchange as it unfolds upon Footfall Station.
Yet amidst the chaos of Footfall, the Exchange stands as something more than a mere gathering. Through low-intensity roleplay, character interactions, and unfolding social encounters, it offers a space for community, collaboration, and creative freedom. Where Rogue Trader's far and wide collectively meet to exchange a personalised gift. How, such a gathering is possible, is best left to the mysteries of the immaterium.
This event, hosted by Lord Captain Kassard—is a chance to create and to be apart of something truly unforgettable.
'The memories you forge upon Footfall will endure long after the vox falls silent.'

How to Make Invisible Text (That Can Be Highlighted) by La_Temperanza
Fandoms: No Fandom
21 Oct 2015
Tags
Summary
This is a live example how to make invisible text that can only be seen by highlighting the text. Tutorial is included in text, and you can always leave comments about questions you may have.
MOBILE USERS: Sadly, this probably won't work for you, since highlighting in a mobile browser is different than web. I've tried correcting this, but have yet to find a solution.

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time to update.
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.
