Summary
A work skin for text messages.
In particular, this uses outlines/borders to avoid specifying background colors, so that users of Reversi can see the work in dark mode and users with the standard AO3 look and feel can read the story in light mode.
Chapter two now lets you pick more chat bubble outline colors for your group chat needs!

24 Mar 2025
Summary
This series started as just a one-shot to help people with AO3's CSS for making work skins. Now that I've written a piece on making series (originally for a friend, but then shared to a Facebook group, so I figured why not add it to AO3), I figured that the two really should be linked for tutorial purposes. I had no plans to do any of this at first, so maybe I'll add more in the future (Collections come to mind, and they're really easy to do).
I don't expect to add further tutorials, but I hadn't expected to write these either. I'm calling the series complete, but who knows (one thing that keeps nudging me is to take the statistics and show how fics' half-lives vary, for example; another is putting all weird AO3 fixes into one spot).
NB: If you're wondering, please see How to make and fix a series on AO3 (in this series with the tutorial on CSS work skins for fonts, which made that link become underscored blue ink [assuming that your browser settings, site skin, and third party apps didn't prohibit it]).

Summary
The moment Peter hears Mr. Harrington say the words “field trip” and “Stark Industries” in the same sentence, he knows he’s doomed. Not even Flash’s repetitive and entirely too uncreative taunts can snap him out of the daze he falls into at the sight of the field trip permission slip with STARK INDUSTRIES printed in big, bold letters. Oh, boy.
Another Field Trip to Stark Industries fic featuring SI Legal being BAMF, Peter and Harley as genius siblings, a new fledgling AI, and daily life at a tech giant like SI
