Summary
No. 6 is not a person. He is an experimental weapon, armed with great strength and wit but also incurable bloodlust. Little but darkness can pave the way for one who is so fundamentally broken.

Summary
Three boy soldiers. A monster who wields apathy and contempt and carnage to stymie the void in his heart. An assassin embroiled in lies and the guise of valiant defender that he wishes were true. A healer trapped by helplessness even as he strives to find beauty amidst desolation. Their fates intertwine in the most unexpected and fascinating of ways.
A what-if YoRHa Boys redemption story that explores the possibility of No. 6 forming connections with No. 9 and No. 2, diverging from his path of darkness to become more than a monster. And earning his happy ending.

Summary
Executioner units should not be governed by their emotions. Nor should they form attachments to their targets, let alone fall in love with them. For No. 2 (undercover) Type D, meeting M Squadron’s sole healer, No. 9 Type H, was the catalyst that set him on the path to critical failure.
This story takes place during canon events and is also part of the same continuity as yuzu and How to Hydrate Your Android Boyfriend: A Guide.
Written for Designated Dreams: A NieR: Automata 9/2 Fanzine.

Summary
“Hey No. 9, I’ve always wondered… as we die and get remade over and over, where do our souls go?”
New YoRHa regulation dictates that all male units will be scanners only. At the end of the M Squadron experiment, No. 9 returns to the Bunker for a so-called ‘full reformat’. After surrendering to his fate, he finds himself in data purgatory, where he meets No. 2 one final time. One-shot.
Written for Designated Dreams: A NieR: Automata 9/2 Fanzine.

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.

Summary
For a moment, Astarion feels pity. A deep sadness, for the poor, beautiful wretch, before disgust wells up from somewhere deep inside. Then anger. Loathing. This stupid thing. This despicable thing that allows itself to be used again and again. That never once fought back. Astarion suddenly hates him, wants to smash his face in so he never has to see it again.
Astarion encounters himself in the Self-Same Trial of Shar's Gauntlet.

Summary
Astarion drinks the wrong potion and inadvertently turns into a weak and helpless bat. Shadowheart loves animals, and the bat loves her, so that's fine. Then he turns back and starts throwing a tantrum about it, which would also be fine -- except that Shadowheart is not fine.
