    Summary

    if you were mine, would you forgive my hypocrisy?

    It's tough being Commoner. It's tough being Nice. They're two heroes tangled in a web of plots and manipulation, both with their own reasons for being there. The silk threads are sticky but delicate, and one snap threatens a fall into despair.
    Distraction helps keep their head in the game.

    Or, 5 times Nice and Lin Ling partake in physical pleasure to escape and 1 time it is used to return.

    Summary

    You've seen it. A fic formatted like a classified document. A chapter that looks like a real social media feed. An interactive game, somehow, inside an AO3 work. You clicked the kudos button. You thought: how.

    This is the tutorial that answers that.

    A beginner-friendly guide to HTML and CSS on AO3 — no prior coding experience required. By the end of this series, you'll know enough to write formatted fics, build your own workskins, style your entire AO3 interface, and maybe make something that makes other people stop and think how.

    Summary

    Lin Ling hadn't expected to be hunted down and whisked away by a pretty stranger midway through a ball. He'd expected even less to no longer even be human when he wakes up!

    Summary

    "No- no, thank you," He stuttered, falling over his words again. His blood burned hot as it pumped through his veins."I'm not looking for a mate right now, so- so I should really be going! I'm just- looking for new territory, passing through, I-I swear I didn't mean to disturb you-"
    The siren's smile dropped from his lips.

    "You're not going anywhere."

    Or;
    For a mermaid, being banished from your pod is practically a death sentence. The waters are far too dangerous for one mermaid alone. Mermaids only survive by banding together.

    The worst predator of a lone mermaid, by far, is a siren. They're intelligent, strong, and love to play with their food. Luckily, they're solitary creatures, so in most cases they don't have the numbers to attack a pod of mermaids.

    As a newly banished mermaid, this protection is not offered to Lin Ling whenever he encounters a siren.

    His lucky stars are shining, though! The siren he encountered is clearly a bit of a fool, as he mistook him for another siren! Unluckily for Lin Ling, this siren wants to be his mate. How long can he keep up the act before Nice starts getting suspicious?

    Summary

    When Lin Ling was five years old, he told his grandmother he wanted to be a hero.

    Oh, like a police officer? she asked, smoothing down the cowlicks at the back of his head.

    No-no-no. Lin Ling jabbed his chubby toddler finger at the comic book spread out in front of him. He did it aggressively. To make a point. Because even at that age Lin Ling hated being misunderstood. Jab. Jab. Jab. Pointer finger hitting dead center on the page, blotting out the white-cloaked man shining brilliantly among a rising tide of shadows. Like this. Like him! A real hero!

    It seemed so obvious to him back then. Heroes were good—full stop. They saved people; they stood up for the weak. They helped whoever and wherever they could. Everyone should’ve strived to be a hero, because really, what else could you possibly want to do with your life?

    Now, at twenty-one, knee-deep in a heap of scrap metal, Lin Ling wipes a grease-stained hand over his forehead and thinks he should’ve applied for the police academy after all.
