Seamless Gradient Ao3 skin - a vanilla glow on blush

Lamplight through rose glass, and ink.

Click here for full CSS skin

Seamless CSS gradient background: a light glow that appears and disappears and then eventually reappears, so even a 500k word fic scrolls through unbroken color instead of hitting a hard cutoff. (Since this is pure CSS and not an image it loads instantly and will not break in the future.)

Georgia body text, drop cap on the chapter opening

Rating and category icons redrawn as type. The sprite images are gone; ratings show as G / T / M / E, categories as F/M, M/M, F/F, GEN, MULTI. Explicit stays red.

Relationship tags and characters set in all caps, additional tags stay lowercase so the differentiation is easier. Warnings in red, CCNTW is black but bolded.

Romantic ships get a line under them, platonic ones don't, making it easier to see which relationships are romantic at a glance

Visited works show a lighter line under the title

Styled all the way down: stats, subscriptions page, chapter index, inbox, comment threads, search, bookmarks and so on

Removed the social links and news section of the homepage to move the unread messages up. Marked for later is now full page width on the homepage. Gives both functions more functionality and visibility.

Skin is fully functional on mobile, but the gradient looks slightly different

Statistics page is reworked. The stats graphic and the year selector had to go, it was not possible to css style it. (shoot me a message and I will let you know what to remove to bring it back)

mute banner is hidden, all other banners show up

this skin was customized to my needs and taste, which might not be the same as yours, please feel free to make changes to make it your own

more screenshots and a video below

Please reblog/like if you want to see different color ways of this skin. Feel free to remix. :)

Before you install: The display font is Didot, which comes with macOS and needs to be added to other OS, to get the full experience please download and install that font.

i love finding new ao3 skins. it’s like picking out a new shirt to wear

[songlanyu]

My lovely new romantic ao3 theme low-key killed me to make, took me all day... but it was worth it... I'm so bad at css codes but I am getting better.

Not 100% happy with it, but not bad for my first site skin... I messed with the css so that the kudos message gives the illusion that I can do kudos again.

But here we go, light blue floral theme attempt #1

Edited: here is the link for the skin CSS code: https://archiveofourown.org/works/84432511

2026 Ides of March AO3 site skin

In what might be becoming a tradition, I have once again coded a site skin themed on the assassination of Julius Caesar in the Roman Senate in 44BCE.

If you too would like to go all out for the bit, you can grab the code from over on my github. There's a readme file if you need instructions for how to add a site skin to your AO3 account.

2025's skin can be seen over here.

as a lesbian who watched 4 seasons of bridgerton, with straight couples as main characters, and still enjoyed it/rooted for them/found them cute, i don’t understand how straight women can’t survive ONE single season about a lesbian couple.
