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

Title card for the podfic. A cream tiled background with a snake skin border. There's an orange in the top left corner pinned to the background by Jim's knife. There are blood spatters in the centre. 
The text reads: A Little Murder, narrated by boy | happydaiz, words by Aletea, art by ClaireGregory.

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 😌

This is the last full chapter of this one before the epilogue, and it's SUCH a satisfying and exciting resolution to this mystery πŸ‘€ Jim finally gets their answers, and Archie gets to show her smartness, too πŸ‘€

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 ❀️

What’s more romantic than thinking your crush killed a guy* and jumping right in to help them cover it up, no questions asked?

*Accuracy of assumption extremely questionable but don’t let that stop you, Archie 🧐

Stede is leaning out a window with wooden shutters and on a stone wall with climbing ivy. Stede has one arm reaching down to Ed, who is below the window on horseback. Ed is reaching up to Stede's hand. Stede is clutching a red piece of fabric in his other hand.

We've got Archie and Ed besties, with a fantastic vibe and a fun backstory! Bitchy Stede appearance, too! Lovely Oluwande arrives! And Archie continues to draw some really questionable conclusions, while getting incredibly flustered (/hot) about Jim + knives...

Archie POV is one of my favourite POVs, & Aletea's Archie voice is so good! A lovely twisty mystery, a snake on a hunger strike (or maybe just being dramatic) & Jim being Very Jim - such a fun story! I got to beta-read this & I highly recommend it. More tasty goodness from 2025's #OFMDReverseBang

Stede dreams about the moon, but he needs the help of a genius inventor to get a closer look. He's got NO idea how close that look will get, or how his life will change because of it.
