Yknow If Romeo Had Just Cried On Juliets Corpse For A Couple Hours Instead Of Drinking Poison Right Then

yknow if romeo had just Cried on juliets corpse for a couple hours instead of drinking poison Right Then they would have been Fine

so you want to save an ao3 fic onto the wayback machine...

ive seen way too many fics saved the wrong way so im here to remedy the situation <3

1. find the fic’s pure url. im gonna use one of my own fics as an example. so…let’s say you open a fic and copy the following url: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119/chapters/107299533

now what you’re going to do is get rid of the /chapters/107299533. that leaves us with https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119 which is the “true” url. if the fic you want to save only has one chapter and isn’t rated mature, explicit, or not rated then you won’t have to do this step and your url is good to go. plug it into the wayback machine and save it!

2. is the fic multi-chapter? if so, take the fic’s pure url and attach the following: ?view_full_work=true 

in the case of our url, it will turn into https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119?view_full_work=true and this will allow the wayback machine to capture the entire work at once

3. is the fic rated mature, explicit, or not rated? if so, take the fic’s pure url and attach the following: ?view_adult=true

in the case of our url, it will turn into https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119?view_adult=true and this will allow the wayback machine to capture the work directly instead of that screen that pops up asking if you’re sure you want to read a work with adult content

4. are both of the above conditions true? if so, take the fic’s pure url and attach the following: ?view_adult=true&view_full_work=true

in the case of our url, it will turn into https://archiveofourown.org/works/42712119?view_adult=true&view_full_work=true and that will both capture the entire work at once and bypass that screen asking if you’re sure that you want to read a work with adult content

5. is the fic restricted to logged in users? sorry folks i don’t know how to deal with this one, but if a fic is restricted by this setting then the author probably doesn’t want the fic archived via the wayback machine anyway…

now go forth and save your fave fics properly! good luck and god speed!

Sex education with Severus Snape

Look, I blame Gin and heat exhaustion for this one. This is not my best writing but inspired by a discussion in the three broomsticks discord.

Despite being at capacity, the classroom was quiet.

The awkward silence was only occasionally broken by the scuffing of a shoe against the floorboards or the rustle of robes as someone covered their face. 

Harry would have given anything, even his firebolt, not to endure this. And like many of the other boys, he stared determinedly at the range of leaflets in his lap in a futile attempt to ignore the sound of Snape’s voice.

“This,” Snape said, with a slap of the cane against the anatomical diagram that dominated the chalkboard, 

“Is called the clitoris.” 

A shudder of snorts rippled around the classroom, yet Snape’s face remained impassive.

“Stebbins,” Snape said sharply, and a boy to Harry’s left quickly sat up. 

“What is the purpose of this…piece of anatomy?”

Several older boys laughed at the question.

“Errrrr. …I….” Stammered Stebbins, his fingers twisting in his lap as his face turned an ugly shade of puce.

“You don’t know?” Snape asked, a sneer on his lips.

“Like he even knows,” Ron muttered in Harry’s ear, causing his body to convulse with laughter and sending his copy of “The boy who cast Engorgio; human transfiguration gone wrong," fluttering to the ground.

Snape glared at them, his black robes contrasting the red of the labia majora that framed him.

“Does anyone else know the answer?’

Nobody replied, and silence blanked the classroom once more.

“Well,” Snape said, "When the headmaster asked me to give this class, I said that very few of you should ever reproduce, and now I can rest assured that no woman will ever go near any of you. So, you may leave early.”

The stampede to the door was unlike anything Harry had ever seen before.
