It's been a while since I've done an #OFMD #FicRecFriday, so gonna recommend @aletea.bsky.social and @clairegregoryau.bsky.social @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collaboration. Crime scene cleaners Archie & Jim encounter a murder that might involve Jim's past. archiveofourown.org/collections/...

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 🍰 #ofmdfanart #rizzy

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 #ofmdficrec archiveofourown.org/works/70141031

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 😌

The final chapter of my jim/Archie crime scene cleaners @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collab with @clairegregoryau.bsky.social is here! Time to wrap up those loose ends, including the most important one of all: does Hugh Little Bastard eat his dinner? archiveofourown.org/works/676325...

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

Chapter 7 of my Jim/Archie crime scene cleaners @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collab with @clairegregoryau.bsky.social is here! In which the plot comes to a head. #garlicsoup archiveofourown.org/works/676325...

Chapter 6 of my Jim/Archie crime scene cleaners @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collab with @clairegregoryau.bsky.social is here! In which Jim and Archie do some actual investigating #garlicsoup archiveofourown.org/works/676325...

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 ❤️

Chapter 5 of my Jim/Archie crime scene cleaners @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collab with @clairegregoryau.bsky.social is here! In which Archie attempts to run away from emotions (or at least talking about them), and Jim won't let her #garlicsoup archiveofourown.org/works/676325...

The first chapter of my #OFMDReverseBang with @gemagination.bsky.social is up now! I’ve loved working on this story - my first #tealoranges fic and DEFINITELY my first boxing fic 🤣. We hope you enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/679832...

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 🧐

Chapter 4 of my Jim/Archie crime scene cleaners @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collab with @clairegregoryau.bsky.social is here! Archie and Jim talk, and Archie thinks she's got it all figured out. #garlicsoup archiveofourown.org/works/676325...

Morning bump for the latest chapter of our crime scene cleaners! Archie's discovering new things about herself with every passing moment :P

the first of my collabs from the @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social is up! a #gentlebeard AU based on Alfred Noyes' poem The Highwayman, written by @izzytranss.bsky.social 💜 Go read this beautiful fic here: archiveofourown.org/works/67869626

Chapter 1, featuring the art teased in the image below :D :D archiveofourown.org/works/67702086/chapters/175330541

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

Chapter 3 of my Jim/Archie crime scene cleaners @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collab with art by @clairegregoryau.bsky.social is here! Archie calls a friend for help and goes to talk to Jim about what she's learned #garlicsoup archiveofourown.org/works/676325...

I got SO lucky to write to @inkirtis.bsky.social 's lovely art prompt and it's here! 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. #ofmdfic #gentlebeard

Morning bump with our big reveals! Alfeo de la Vaca is dead, and Jim, called in to clean the crime scene, is acting weird. Archie’s digging is about to complicate everything… Hop on board, this mystery has amazing canon parallels and twists and endlessly loyal Archie is my favourite ❤️

We've arrived at the original art for this story! Started out with just the crime scene cleaners, added in the background to match 😍 In this chapter we've got Jim acting strangely, the murder victim revealed, and Archie digging a little too hard and finding more than she ever wanted to know 👀

Chapter 2 of my Jim/Archie @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collab is up! We learn a little bit more about whats going on, including Jim's past, and whose death they're cleaning up after. Also features awesome art by @clairegregoryau.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/676325... #garlicsoup

Morning bump for Archie and Jim! This morning Archie's biggest struggle was getting her elderly snake to eat, but now they're cleaning a crime scene and they're about to discover that Jim has a connection to this case. It's going to complicate everything...

I am so excited for everyone to meet crime scene cleaners Jim and Archie! Aletea has written a brilliant mystery that's full of perfect Archie chaos, fun and tension (and pining!). In chapter one we also get to meet Archie's snake Hugh (covered for snake content, but he's a just a friendly guy) 😍

It's here! The first chapter of my @ofmdreversebigbang.bsky.social collab with art by @clairegregoryau.bsky.social . Archie and Jim are crime scene cleaners who get involved in a murder investigation. Be prepared for morbid humor along with a few angsty moments archiveofourown.org/works/676325...

Prettiest cowboy around #ourflagmeansdeath #roachofmd #ofmdroach

Read my first book for #piratereadingclub! A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. It felt like just a cozy, relaxing novella until I got to the end, and this one line took me out. I keep going back and re-reading it. Lovely. Just lovely. app.thestorygraph.com/books/e630cc...

Been seeing this going around again and I haven't done one of these posts in a while, so why not? 😆 I've got quite a few fanfic ideas

Gaaaarlic!!!🤩❤️‍🔥 I can't believe I actually finished something for #GarlicSoupWeek, please clap (even though it's a tiny super simple thing)

For @garlicsoupweek.bsky.social Polyamory Day, I'm re-sharing my soulmate au fic from last year, "the colour in my world (is you)." It's an exploration of S2 focused on the polycule, wherein all four are soulmates who only see colour after the first time they touch <3 (🔗 below!) #GarlicSoupWeek

For the @ofmdremix.bsky.social some amazing person has remixed Feels Good into this lovely little thing! Ed/Stede, fluff, beautiful archiveofourown.org/collections/... #ofmdfic

I literally reposted about it this morning but I forgot 😝 I’m so excited the Remix fics just dropped! Someone did a remix of Obscenely Soft Blankets that I need to check out the minute I settle in tonight archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Someone has remixed my Jim/Archie customer service fic for this years @ofmdremix.bsky.social and it's so cute! Jim POV instead of Archie, and really well done. Not technically a #garlicsoupweek fic, but it's great timing! Go give it some love ❤️ archiveofourown.org/collections/...
