Just this once, Rose, everybody except Wei Wuxian lives! Tbf I don’t think he’s in that story. Edit: I switched tabs back over to my search and he is in that story!!! Amazing!! (Just in case anyone is concerned, that’s not a spoiler. It’s the very beginning of that book/show. He gets better. I cropped/censored the “even [character]” at the end of the top line there that actually was a spoiler.)
No beta, we die like Wei Wuxian: temporarily, but the damage to our reputation is done, and when we return years later under a new name it's hella awkward.
I think if the fic is just an image, ao3 counts that as no words? Alternatively, ao3 could just be having a moment with itself.
Even when it's an image-hosting "fic," the archive puts up a 0 for wordcount. A blank space is... something o_o
They considered the wordcount a spoiler and so chose "Author really chose not to use archive warnings"
Avatar fandom has three (3) "No beta we die like [x]" tags in descending commonalty: No beta we die like Jet No beta we die like Lu Ten (ouch) No beta we die like the 41st division (oh my god)
This is not tags but it made me laugh inordinately: genderbent F/F MDZS fic with this in the summary:
