I think ao3 is literally the only site where no censorship means no censorship. you can post the most vile things on there — things that will get taken down on any other platforms — and ao3 will protect you, your works, and your rights to create whatever you want, however you want.

and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.

everybody say thank you ao3

Announcing Fanfiction.lol !

hey all! i've built a new ao3 fork called fanfiction.lol 🤙🏽 key differences:

🚫 no invite queue: sign up and start posting immediately. no waiting, no velvet rope.

🏳️‍🌈 expanded content warnings: added ableism, homophobia/transphobia, racism, rpf and more. plus relationship tags for aro/ace spectrum, qpr, non-binary/genderqueer focus, poly/ensemble, and more.

🏷️ all tags are canonical: everything you tag goes into the searchable record. no volunteer wrangling bottleneck.

💜 fandom-agnostic moderation: i care about the writing, not fandom politics or discourse. write whatever you want, tag it honestly.

it's a small personal project but fan communities deserve independent infrastructure.

if you enjoy fandom, i'd love for you to sign up and poke around. tell me what breaks. the source code is at source.tube/brennan/fanfiction.lol.

find me at brennan.day/accounts or email [email protected].

write whatever the hell you want! 💜

The one where Jungkook makes a horrifically bad first impression. 

Pairing: Jungkook x reader 

Warnings: Jungkook is actually an absolute sweetheart.  Smut; kissing, handjobs, fingering and unprotected penetrative sex. 

Word Count: 21K

Loitering at the edge of the curb that sits just outside your second-floor flat, you exhale a heavy sigh. There’s a long night at work ahead of you, no doubt; taking orders, making idle chitchat - standing on your feet for hours on end - and honestly, the idea of it has you feeling far less than enthused. 

It’s not as though you hate your job. The tips are good and the kitchen staff are skilled enough that you rarely ever have to deal with any complaints, and given that your parents own the place it’s not as though it’s ever a struggle to change your shift or take the day off. Still, some days even the most motivated employees don’t feel like working, and today is one of those days.

Pulling your phone from your back pocket, you make sure to glance from left to right to check for oncoming traffic before succumbing to the lure of the sixth-inch screen now rested in your palm. You’re already smiling as you open the message that’s awaiting you; a reply from Namjoon confirming the plans you’d made to go see a film together this weekend - strictly as friends, of course. As handsome as Namjoon is, the two of you shared far too many childhood paddling pools growing up to ever be able to consider each other as anything more than the very best of friends - a good thing, really, considering he’s about as straight as a right angle.

You step off of the pavement, head bent low as your thumbs tap out a reply to the lightly teasing tone in which he so often texts you; so absorbed by the technology in your hand that you don’t even see the motorbike that’s speeding down the road, heading directly across your path. It’s not until it’s almost right on top of you that you even hear the engine’s roar, but as soon as your brain registers the sound it stops your body in its tracks, reflexively flinching backwards just in time to narrowly avoid being hit by anything more than a strong gust of wind as it careens past.

Panic-stricken, you very nearly drop your phone as you stumble back onto the safety of the pavement, hands shaking, and you don’t even really realise you’re yelling until people around you have started to stop and stare. The woman who’d seen it all happen and had originally begun to approach you to offer her aid has now thought better of it; crossing over to the other side of the road rather than deal with the adrenaline-fuelled rage that has you spewing a litany of curses after the motorcyclist and sticking your first and middle finger up in the air. You know he won’t be able to hear a word of it but you don’t let that stop you, only ending your tirade once his dot of dark hair has disappeared from sight and the sound of his motorbike has faded in the distance; a gentle, distant purr.

Dog theme AO3 Site Skin: Adventurous Paws

A '(Guest)' pfp

𓃡 𓃦 𓃥 𓁢 Disclaimers : I only used my handphone while making this skin so for other devices it might not look as polish as in mobile. Images and pngs are from Tumblr, Pinterest, and one png from a cozy game called Good Pizza, Great Pizza. I don't take request. I used this tag icons(custom) codes, this for buttons, and this to hide the mute notice. Dividers by @wrbbnrse

𓄯 I just realized it's almost/past National Pet Day when i release this skin. I got the inspiration when i was watching "The Plague Dogs" and realized that i never seen any dog ao3 site skin unlike cat themed skin which i don't mind at all because i'm a cat person myself. Intentionally make this skin look cheery and cozy and bright because i'm traumatized by the movie, it's such a gut wrenching animation film, 10/10👏 would not recommend😭😭😭.

my ao3 skins masterlist

Tutorial how to activate the skin + the code :

‌Copy the code i provided in this GitHub, there is a copy button at the top right(•••) of the code box. And here if you prefer Google doc.

‌Sign to your AO3 account, after that go to "Dashboard".

‌On your "Dashboard", tap on a section called "Skins".

‌On the "Skins" page, tap on the button labelled "Create Site Skin".

‌Give your site skin a unique title, i usually use 2-4 word for the skins that i saved. IF YOUR SKIN NAME IS NOT UNIQUE, YOU CAN'T SAVE THE SKIN.

‌Paste the codes you copied from my GitHub into the "CSS" box.

‌When you're done, scroll to the bottom of the page and click a button labelled "Submit". This will save your site skin and take you to a new page where you can see the title of your skin as well as all of the code.

‌Click "My Site Skin" and you can see the skin are added, press "Use" to activate it.

AO3 Tweaks!

i made a little github repo of CSS add-ons and userscripts i've been putting together for my AO3 setup and thought i'd share in case anyone finds something useful here

also published on AO3 — archiveofourown.org/works/80873616

All CSS add-ons can work standalone, but for the full experience i recommend using Rosé Pine AO3 skin by @blackbatcats , as most of them are based on and designed to be complementary with this gorgeous site skin

also: i have a personal fork of the Rosé Pine skin ( AO3 Rosé Pine — Closer to Home ) that restores some of the default AO3 interface aesthetics if that's your thing

——————————————————

✦ Hide Inactive Navigation Buttons · AO3 Skin

hides the inactive prev/next buttons when there's no page to go to. tiny thing but it cleans up the interface a lot

——————————————————

✦ LGBTQ+ Color-Coded Tags · AO3 Skin

colors LGBTQ+ related tags with their corresponding pride flag colors. covers up to 30 orientations, comes in light and dark versions (based on a CSS by @blackbatcats, inspired by Highlight AO3 Tags' pride tags)

——————————————————

✦ Custom Fonts for Mobile · Stylus only

AO3's skin editor doesn't support '@ font-face' feature so custom fonts can't load on mobile — this fixes that using Stylus extension and a font host URL. the readme has a full guide on how to get the URL for any font you want

——————————————————

✦ AO3 Logo in Header · AO3 Skin

removes the "Archive of Our Own" text and keeps just the logo, recolored to match the Rosé Pine palette. works with any theme though

——————————————————

✦ Header Padding · Stylus only

adds breathing room to the header on desktop/wider screens. companion to the logo snippet above

——————————————————

✦ Platonic Ship Tags · AO3 Skin

gives platonic relationship tags (X & Y) their own color so they're visually distinct from romantic ones. pairs really well with the AO3: Reorder Ship Tags script (all credits to @blackbatcats)

——————————————————

✦ Custom Fonts · AO3 Skin

the fonts section extracted from the Rosé Pine skin as its own separate skin, so you don't have to touch it every time the main skin updates + added a custom font for work pages (all credits to @blackbatcats)

——————————————————

✦ EPUB Download Button · Userscript · Greasyfork

adds an EPUB download button directly on work blurbs while you're browsing so you don't have to open the full work page. two versions:

next to the work title (V2)

bottom-left corner of the blurb (V1)

——————————————————

✦ Unread Messages next to Favorites · Userscript · Greasyfork

Moves the Unread Messages section next to the Favorites list on the AO3 home page

(based on Charles Rockafellor's script : AO3: put new comments' notifications into home page's favorites div)

——————————————————

✦ Bonus: Light/Dark Toolbar Toggle for Zen & Firefox

a toolbar button that toggles your site appearance between light and dark with one click — if your skin supports 'prefers-color-scheme' feature (aka auto light/dark mode switch) this will save you so many trips to the settings. i made it mainly for AO3 but it works on any site that supports the feature

——————————————————

everything is pick-and-choose, installation instructions for each method (AO3 skin, Stylus, and Greasyfork) are all in the repo

→ github.com/ravenothere/AO3-Tweaks

i wouldn't have been inspired to do any of this if it weren't for discovering @blackbatcats' AO3 skin and scripts, go throw him flowers for being the reason any of this exists

i genuinely had to start teaching myself how to edit and use CSS and JavaScript just for the sake of this newly discovered AO3 wellbeing,.. a couple weeks ago i had near zero knowledge on how to navigate any code in general, but once i realized i CAN actually customize my OWN desired experience nothing could stop me anymore.

take this as your sign to learn that new skill ‒ or dont, your loss

Featured in the previews:

Rosé Pine AO3 site skin — specifically my version: Rosé Pine — Closer to Home

AO3: Chapter Shortcuts

AO3: Reading Time & Quality Score

Other Scripts i'm also using (100% recommend):

AO3: Advanced Blocker — VERY VERY customizable blocker for literally anything on the website, heals my OCD brain to the core, very beautiful and clean UI, basically a gem.

AO3: Reorder Ship Tags — reorders ship tags so all platonic ships are placed at the end of the relationship tag order, for more organized and neat look.

AO3: Comment Formatting and Preview — Adds buttons to insert text formatting to your comment, and shows a live preview box of what the comment will look like, very helpful especially for those who aren't familiar with HTML.

AO3: Quick Hide — very convenient script that lets you hide-or more like collapse- works or comments, you can control the visibility of the collapsed item which is so satisfying for some reason, i use it to hide fics that i've already read or downloaded.

AO3: Skin Switcher — tho i no longer switch my skins much anymore but its a very helpful shortcut that saves you the bother of navigating to your skins page, either to edit or set different skins.

AO3: Site Wizard — so basically that is all in one skin editor at your hands, you can customize the site's fonts, colors, work formatting. very straightforward and easier UI for simple skin customizations.

AO3: No Re-Kudos — automatically hides the kudos button on works where you've already left kudos.

AO3: Auto Pseud — auto-selects your pseud for comments and bookmarks on AO3, based on fandom, all you need is to assign each pseud to your desired fandom.

AO3 Tag Reorder — lets you rearrange tag order when editing a work, bookmark or collection very convenient and easy to use especially for authors and bookmarkers.

Replace the AO3 Icons 2.0

A while ago, I made a site skin that replaces all of the AO3 icons with new ones. I was pretty happy with it, but I wanted more options for changing the colors. So I made a new skin with customizable colors!

Here are previews of the three example color schemes I created (default, berry/reversi blue, and pink) in comparison to the old icons:

Almost all icon background colors (and a few other ones) can be changed to any color you want!

Find instructions for adding and customizing the site skin here on AO3:

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

EDIT (20 July 2025): I have added pink icons and updated this post accordingly.
