    Summary

    This series started as just a one-shot to help people with AO3's CSS for making work skins.  Then I added a piece on making series.  Then it... snowballed.  I don't expect to add further tutorials, but I hadn't expected to write these either.  I'm calling the series complete, but who knows (one thing that keeps nudging me is to take the statistics and show how fics' half-lives vary, for example; another is putting all weird AO3 fixes into one spot).

    NB:  If you're wondering, please see How to make and fix a series on AO3 (in this series with the tutorial on CSS work skins for fonts, which made that link become underscored blue ink [assuming that your browser settings, site skin, and third party apps didn't prohibit it]).

    Cf. the CSS Abuse and HTML Tryhard collection, as a whole.

    Summary

    In crossing soul sand valleys your sole concern should be to get over them quickly, without any delay. So much for operations in soul sand valleys.

    Summary

    “Thank you, your Radiance.” He clears his throat, and turns a little, beckoning the little gold piglin forwards. Blaze watches her eyes flick all the way up to hers, and all of a sudden, time seems to stop.

    By all means, they should just be eyes. Deep brown, long lashes, nervous, even. They are just eyes, and she is just a piglin, and Blaze doesn’t even know her name, yet. But time has stopped, and in just a single glance, Blaze feels… oddly vulnerable. It’s not something she feels often, nor is it something she particularly likes. Her vulnerability is only for her family to see, her brother, when they share their stories about being alone in their realms. Her vulnerability is not for her subjects. She is their Empress and she is their goddess, and that is a part of herself she must keep carefully guarded.

    She doesn’t know how this piglin found the key so quickly.

    Summary

    The fire that is the Blaze Empress sputters and dims, her flame becoming smoke in the now darkened air, her light fading, her form shrinking. Her blaze rods stay rooted where they are, buried in the ground, lava keeping them in place.

    She looks small. She feels small. She isn’t fire and lava and heat and power anymore. She is ash and smoke and emptiness.

    Or, the Blaze Empress is different to the other gods. She understands mortal grief far better than they do.
