mm whatcha say?: Changing Text On Hover for Multilingual Fics (A Download Friendly Workskin) by mackerel_cheese for Graverobbber, enbyguous, spearsofstarlight
Fandoms: No Fandom, Babel - R. F. Kuang
20 Mar 2026

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
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.

You have no immediate family. You don’t even have a dog.
Yeah. That’s true. But that doesn’t mean that there won’t be anyone to miss him. Ryland, Yellow-Raincoat-Glasses, Mr. Grace, Apartment 4A. He’s a lot of names to a lot of people, and if you’re a name to someone then someone will miss you. He’ll be missed.

Summary
Caleb moves closer into his space and holds his shivering arms tightly, and rubs some warmth into his shoulders. “Essek, you can feel it, can’t you?”
Caleb noticed it as he left the cottage, once he consciously felt for the sensation. Or rather, a lack thereof. Typically, magic rushes around him like the wind itself, or an ambient scent, or music. It appeals to a different and entirely unnamable sense though, of course. He can feel it, touch it, and manipulate it. It is so constant that it becomes subconscious and beyond notice.
“You can feel it, Essek. It is gone.”Peace is a precious thing, and a fragile thing too. When the unexpected finally strikes Essek's delicate new life, he and Caleb are left adrift and alone and very, very, vulnerable. What are two wizards without magic to do?

Summary
A fall from the tree to the glade's ground at this height was already enough to splatter his small body. But he wouldn't hit that ground. Not here, hanging over the edge of a mountain with nothing but nothing and more nothing for miles and miles and -
His breath stuttered.
His heart pounded so loud he couldn't hear the wind anymore.
He tried to shift. His foot scraped uselessly against the trunk, bark biting at his skin.
And then - the branch snapped.
OR
During Vax’s year in Zephrah, he meets a stubborn halfling boy named Orym, determined to become a hero. The world may not make room for someone so small - but Vax knows what it’s like to be told you're almost something. And what it means to become more.

Summary
It’s not like Caleb hasn’t thought about it. He’s thought about it a little too much, if anything: what would happen in a situation in which the variables were only Essek, himself, some privacy, and their mutual willingness to explore each other. In that scenario, he wasn’t even asking for a bed.

Summary
In which Demodus Blix has a terrible no-good very bad day (and also a new crush, but that's none of your damn business), Azune Nayar has moments of unpleasant introspection followed by moments of reassuring conversation, and Murray Mag'nesson wonders if they are going to get out of this sewer anytime soon (because she is an inch away from murdering at least one of her two favourite ex-students).
Now with an unplanned epilogue in which Azune gets a man fired, and Demodus should not find that as endearing as he does.
