    Summary

    The game is over.

    Dirk thinks everything will finally be okay.

    But dear lord. He has never been more wrong.

    It's quiet at first, the little hints of toxicity slipping in ever so slightly. An issue here, an argument there. Nothing to worry about. Right?

    It only takes a spark to start a forest fire.

    Чого тільки не зробиш для розкриття справи. Навіть пропозицію руки й серця. Навіть партнеру, з яким в щасливих стосунках вже три роки. Розслідування є розслідування. Тодд теж так думав.

    Summary

    A collection of ficlets tied together by the general theme of Dirk Whump. Generally Post S2 with a lot of reference to Blackwing.

    Expect to see a few themes repeated - sorry I just like some things and can't keep track of where I've used them already...

    Various trigger warnings around the various types of abuse I put Dirk through

    Quite a bit of shameless idea theft (sorry) - from authors including but not limited to the inspirational protecticarus (FKA thewrongplath), flightinflame, scarletkestrel, ToMarsAndBeyond3, electricteatime, Lynds, DontoffendTheBees et al.

    Summary

    Todd!” he shouted into the sink, voice muffled by his folded arms.
    What,” Todd asked in flat alarm.
    He huffed in disgust. “I solved the bloody case.”
    Todd’s eyes went wide. “You… usually seem a little happier about that, when it happens.”
    ----

    Five months after Bergsberg, the Holistic Detective Agency is finding a groove, and Dirk is maybe—just maybe—starting to trust a good thing to last. But a bout of cat-subsidized calm draws to a sharp close when Dirk and Todd find an impossibly-severed head on a rare day off. Unbeknownst to the Agency, the ever-accumulating Rowdy 3, or even the enthusiastic new leadership at Blackwing, a decades-old play for control is poised to ripple across a fractious, fractured, and fractal Universe. Survival will mean holding true to oneself, even in the face of friends and family—whether given, chosen, or fatalistically entwined.

    Summary

    Dirk and Todd (formerly Ikariel and Toad) are an angel and demon living on earth to avoid the bureaucracy and stress of their respective headquarters. Their time on Earth, though occasionally fraught, is precious to them – and when the antichrist arrives to signal the End Of It All, everything is thrown into chaos as they scramble to protect the world. But even when that's over, Dirk still has a crawling hunch that they aren't safe yet...

    Part 2!

    Summary

    Part One:
    If everything happens for a reason, and everything is connected, and everything has to be going somewhere, then why else would you have found him, if not for this? What else were you supposed to do?

    A short history of Riggins.

    Part Two:
    “You’re being weird,” says Todd. “Therapy’s not bad, Dirk. I’m guessing you haven’t been before, but --”

    Dirk stands abruptly and accidentally sets off his dominos. “I have been, actually,” he says over the background of rattling tiles, “and I’m not sure it’s exactly my thing. In fact, I’m fairly sure I don’t need it at all. I’m glad it works for you, but everyone is different, you know.”

    Dirk in denial, and acceptance.

    Summary

    Maybe it became a habit in Blackwing, maybe it even was one way before that time. He doesn’t know anymore.
    Time is just blurring together, his past a mess of memories.
    So he picked up the Blade, and smiled.

    Summary

    Patrick/Dirk established relationship. It's set in the Spring Mansion Agency 'verse but can be read as a standalone.

    This fic combines nightmare angst with romantic fluff. I believe every Dirk pairing deserves a nightmare-comfort fic so here it is.

    Summary

    The problem, as Dirk allowed himself to admit, since it was his birthday, was that he was quite hopelessly in love with Todd. He’d made his feelings rather clear on the subject by attempting to kiss Todd on a park bench, but Todd had postponed any reciprocity till after he’d “taken care of some things,” and since those “things” had precipitated a massive argument with Dirk, they had never actually got back round to the initial subject.

    Which was fine. Dirk could be patient.

    Todd leaned over another round of mugs, his hair falling into his eyes, and the sunlight shining through the window spotlit highlights in his wavy brown hair.

    Patience, it turned out, was hard work.

    Dirk has found friends, home, family, and even the possibility of romance. But despite everything he's gained, his past can't be so easily shaken...

    Summary

    A short one-shot of what happened between Dirk and Todd when they went back to Hobbs house between Panto and the House Within a House. If you like a little bit of angsty, touch-starved, slightly traumatized yearning, then you’ll like this probably.

    Summary

    “That’s me!” said a beanpole of a man in a bright yellow jacket, bounding up to the counter and sticking out, for some reason, both hands.

    Todd barely refrained from shielding his eyes. The man’s smile beamed out like a spotlight. He didn’t look like someone who wanted to ruin Todd’s day on purpose, or if he was, he was doing a damn good job at hiding it. So what the hell, Todd wondered for the third time, would possess this random British man with his bizarrely patterned tie to waltz into his coffee shop and order what was, objectively, the worst drink Todd had ever seen?

    Todd is a grumpy barista just trying to make it through the day. Dirk is an unlikely customer who keeps coming back. But as their friendship deepens with the Seattle summer, Todd's lingering guilt and Dirk's mysterious past threaten their growing closeness...

    (AKA, a coffee shop AU <3)
