Very pretty. The plunnies are trying to bite.

This artist painted a slew of artworks. By the time I got to the end it was mind-deadening and 'oh no not another ship with waves or the moon'. *grins* I do like these three and side by side they don't give that effect.

To the Plunnies,
BITE HER!

They tried, but they couldn't get their teeth in because I'm already being gnawed by:

– Mr. Wright always calls Eli Sugar, Sugar or my Sugar in a sexy way. Maybe boss and assistant. I just have names and a little personality. Wright teases and Sugar is long suffering.

– A sandhog (the guys who dig tunnels under Manhattan and other places; tend to be small, but strong) and a firefighter, one of those guys who are on standby when they detonate (everyone comes up first, so I suspect lots of the sandhogs just hang around.)

– A blonde guy in a wheelchair (like the one I saw when I went downtown with my husband) and someone who works in a food cart (family owns more than one). Meet on the bus.

— A setting: Dogtowns had women who dressed like men, men who did housework, alleged witches and former slaves. And dogs running wild in the streets, hence the name.

— An overweight but muscular (tall, big all over) detective's assistant is in love with his tall (but still shorter than Main), thin aristocratic detective. Detective's mom is tiny but very friendly and Main likes her when he has to stay over for a case. That makes his crush on his boss (which he calls chief) even worse. The detective has a cute nickname for him.

And these are the few that bit me in the last few weeks. I still need to finish Trifecta.

You are much chewed on.
The last one seems most developed and thought on.
Yes, finish trifecta and then I like the concept of the Detective's Assistant.

That last one is more developed because I'm lifting ideas from two series I'm currently reading. Sergeant Tring(?) is a big man who wears brightly colored plaid suits, loves to eat which helps him get an in with the female staff. He's married and his wife loves to feed people too. But after reading about Sergeant Fox, I'm thinking That Carola Dunn read Ngaio Marsh.

I don't think Fox wears bright suits though.

The dynamic between Alleyn and Fox is different from Fletcher and Tring in the Allen is a little goofy and calls Fox nicknames. Brer Fox and Foxkin on the regular, but also after good food or delicious wine if he's really happy. I can't remember the exact words, but it was like prime rib.

My detective chief inspector will call his detective inspector "cheesecake" or other desserts.

But no matter the description, both Alleyn and Fletcher look to me like Jack Robinson, the detective in The Miss Fischer Mysteries (Australian TV, I can't wait for season to to be upon Netflix).
