    Summary

    “I feel fine.”

    Fine, fine, fine, fine. Shane can’t seem to stop using that word today.

    Ilya hums,

    “Good. I am glad to hear this. I never want you to feel bad.”

    They’re both talking around the same thing without actually talking about it. Shane’s stomach is in knots. He wants to lay himself at Ilya’s feet and beg:

    Just make me do it. Tell me I have no choice. You know I want to. You know me.

    (or: shane knows what he wants. it's the asking and letting himself have it that's the hard part.)

    Summary

    Do you want to have a nifty way to have multiple languages in a fic:

    • Without making your readers scroll to the AN for a translation?
    • Without the text and translation sitting side by side?
    • And still make it look pretty when people download it into an EPUB or PDF format?
    • Making it work with screenreaders? (Subject to varying screenreader capabilities)

    Here is a solution for you. Come on babygirls, let's roll.

    (This is a HTML tutorial but I'm lowkey flirting with you by calling you babygirl occasionally because I got bored while writing this.)

    NEW UPDATE [20/3/2026]:

    • Chapter 1: Sample Usage (Excerpt from a WIP in my drafts)
      • A short character study about Griffin Harley from Babel (by R.F. Kuang). Utilizies 3 languages in multiple formats. You don't need to have read Babel to pick apart the code used.
    • Chapter 2: Basic Tutorial (same as before)
    • Chapter 3: FAQ (regarding customization and usage)

    Summary

    Al-Hashimi laughed again, almost mockingly. The mean lilt of it was so far removed from the emotionless, hyper-professional image Santos had built of Al-Hashimi in her mind that it stunned her into silence.

    "I'm afraid you may have misplaced your faith," Al-Hashimi bit back.

    In a rundown diner at five o'clock in the morning on July 5th, Santos loses one hero and finds another.

    Summary

    "Cassie doesn’t laugh. She crosses her arms, stares at Trinity. At her thighs.

    Fuck.

    “You’re bleeding.”

    Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. "

    Summary

    Evan has a high threshold for pain, no gag reflex, and thinks debasement is nothing. He spent his childhood possessed by demons too terrifying to name. There's no part of him a person can take that could ever come close to that horror.

    Once he realized this a whole new world opened up to him, and with it: money and a purpose.

     
    K [6:31 AM]: She's paying top rate. Even yours.
    E [6:32 AM]: What are you even doing awake right now?
    K [6:32 AM]: Sleep is for the weak
    E [6:33 AM]: I’m booked out a month
    K [6:33 AM]: I know. She’s willing to wait.
    E [6:33 AM]: No one else wanted the contract?
    K [6:34 AM]: I thought of you first.
    K [6:35 AM]: Don't be a dick. Take the easy job. She's nice

     
    She is nice and it is not easy.

    He knows it the moment the door of the top floor suite at the Ophelia Hotel opens and he registers rising star Sam Britain standing in front of him with a wide smile that crinkles the corners of her eyes.

    “Tad? Come in! Thanks for agreeing to--uh, meet me? Fuck me? What’s the protocol here?”

    There’s no protocol for ‘Hello’.
