    Summary

    He held A-Ling’s little body for hours, rocked him gently in his arms. He held A-Ling until the moment the late night inched into the next morning.

    This time, Jiang Cheng was awake when the world shifted. It took only seconds. The weight of his nephew vanished from his arms. The room around him warped, twisted, contracted.

    He opened his eyes, eyes he hadn’t closed, to morning light in his rooms at Golden Scale Tower.

    Yesterday. Again.
    -----
    There are many contenders for the worst day of Jiang Cheng's life.

    The Nightless City discussion conference has just won.

    And then he wakes up, and it hasn't happened yet. Jiang Cheng soon realizes that, against all odds, he's repeating one day, seemingly the only person who remembers the times before.

    Is it a curse? A second chance? A sick trick from a cruel spirit?

    Whatever the reason, one truth remains: Jiang Cheng has never been good at giving up, even when he can't seem to win.

    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 update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)

    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.

    Summary

    Binghe had long since decided he hated Hua Huan Palace and the Little Palace Mistress and Liu Qingge screaming at him to give Shen Qingqiu’s body back so they could lay it to rest. None of them understood, Shizun was just resting. He was just resting until he was ready, lazing about as he always did until it was time to get up and everyone just needed to be a bit more patient and stop setting off the traps and arrays leading to the rooms where Shen Qingqiu needed peace and quiet… though it was rather alarming that it was the arrays closest to Shen Qingqiu that had gone off, more like someone was headed out rather than in.
