I'm excited to finally be working on it! I've done so much worldbuilding and outlining, and have so many notes on how to mesh these worlds together

Been planning this for ages and finally started writing it. Izzy makes a GREAT Darcy! He's so awkward πŸ˜‚

Frenchie’s eyes flitted between the two men. He’d been collecting bits of information, but hadn’t gotten much in the way of physical descriptions. He’d heard both Teach and his friend described as handsome and rich and alpha, but none of those descriptors helped even a bit.

But he had heard Teach’s friend given one additional descriptor. Given that of the two men standing there, one was beaming while the other looked like he was being dragged to a gallows, he had a guess about who was who.

β€œThis is Edward Teach,” Olu said, gesturing to the man who’d woven flowers into his beard. β€œHe’s the one who’s taken over Netherfield Park.”

β€œEd,” he said. β€œCall me Ed.”

Stede beamed at him. β€œYour flowers are just lovely.”

Ed’s hand rose to his beard. β€œThanks, mate. Spent a while picking them out.”

β€œOh, I know. I watched.”

Frenchie cringed as the realization immediately flashed across Stede’s face after he spoke.

β€œI mean, I was in town! I wasn’t watching you.” Stede’s hands rose up, his lace frills flopping. β€œI saw you across the square. I mean I was watching, but I was really just shopping and—”

Frenchie elbowed Stede, and he clicked his mouth shut.

Got a fic brewing! It will still be a little while before this one's ready to start posting, but here's a little glimpse.

Ouizzy Pride and Prejudice AU. Omegaverse.

Introductions are going strangely well - for Ed and Stede, anyway. They're about to go far worse for Frenchie and Izzy.

If you're nervous about signing up, know this is really just a commitment for receiving an email with a list of art slides! If nothing speaks to you, you don't have to claim any.

But, I will say as a mod who's seen what's happening behind the scenes, there are going to be *so* many good prompts ❀️

Dual panel illustration of Rizzy goodness. In the first panel, Roach is whistling as he pipes buttercream on a peach marmalade tart, unaware of a bit of buttercream smeared next to his lip. The background is a warm toned kitchen, with sea green tile backsplash and wooden shelves with kitchen utensils.

The second panel, Izzy has walked up to Roach and is grabbing his face so he can reach the sneaky bit of cream and lick if off his partner's face. Both are smiling, Izzy with his eyes closed mid swipe of his tongue across Roach's lower lip, and Roach looking at him fondly and he grabs Izzy's waist with his free hand. With the comotion, Roach squeezed the piping bag held in his right hand, so a piece of buttercream is flying across the pie.

Sweeter kiss

prompt from the brilliant mind of @neopessimist.bsky.social, found just the right person to kiss that stray bit of whipped cream on the side of Roach's mouth 🍰

If you want an innkeepers era, melancholy, atmospheric, #gentlebeard with a strong strong helping of Izzy and unfinished business for both of them, then this is for you. Absolutely gorgeous. Seasons of Storm by redshift

Ch1 of the podfic of A Little Murder by @aletea.bsky.social based on art by @clairegregoryau.bsky.social.

Archie is a crime scene cleaner.
When Jim begins to act strange after they discover a photograph on the scene of a murder, Archie starts investigating and immediately gets in over her head.

The final chapter is here, and it's a perfect ending to their story ❀️

When I first cooked up the idea of Archie and Jim as crime scene cleaners, partly based on all the blood-scrubbing they do in S2, I described it as Aletea bait because she truly was my perfect person for this idea 😌

Aletea has written THE most perfect Archie in this story and this run of childhood stories made me laugh a heap, and then promptly slapped me soon after (/pos) as we learned more about all the things she's been burying under them 😭 There are some major healing steps in this chapter and it's lovely ❀️
