Shadamy AO3 Skin

So I’m not a programmer by any means (I mashed this together with CSS code from those much smarter than me), but I was encouraged to share this custom AO3 site skin with my fellow Shadamy lovers 💖

Special thanks to Di-Dash for permission to use my art comm for the header! Please go check them out if you haven't already : )

Instructions and CSS code can be found here!

[ember-eclipse]

Just a heads up—there’s a new version of this site skin available!

For anyone currently using it, I highly recommend swapping out the code for an improved reading experience. A list of the updates is in the Google Drive for anyone curious, and it’s the same link as the original post. :)

6, 20, and 43 😊✨

AAAAAA *happy dance*

For this writer's ask game!

6: What’s the last line you wrote?

"The stack of papers crinkled as she held them tightly between their pressed chests."

(I actually waited to answer this letter because I wanted to finish working on this piece XD It's for #ShadAmyWeek2026 )

20: Do you prefer writing AUs or canon fics?

Canon. Very rarely do I like engaging with AUs. Off the cuff, @junebalaya's take on Archie (however many) years later is one of my favorites. I actually wrote this piece for her focusing on this au!

43: Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?

Oooo... *evil smile* oooooo ho ho ho ho ho.

The one bed trope.

It will be in not the next chapter of Hanging On, but most likely the one following.

@lambpaca drew this when I told them ages ago what was about to happen. This was the sketch before they did a final draft, which will go up with the chapter.

It's not whatever you think it is, and I hope it fucking wrecks you <3

Ah - the need to clarify hit me like a boulder to the face: I don't often like *writing* Aus. I am picky about what Aus I read. However, those that I do read, I love. Outside of @junebalaya's, these are some other very good ones, with links to the stories. Felines and Felicitations by @aegislinnear
