Summary
For the DGHDA Big Bang 2017.
“...Very long story short, until yesterday, it hailed as my greatest case: one of deception, danger, double-crosses, and an all-round perversion of high emotion and - dare I say it - romance…”
What do horses, robots, time-travel, false identities, alternate universes, flagrant homosexuality and the University of Cambridge have in common? Probably not much, but it's all Todd Brotzman has to work with after he falls through a hole in space and time, arriving at St. Cedd’s College for the first day of Svlad Cjelli (not yet notoriously known as Dirk Gently). There's a case to be solved, but it refuses to start. For both Todd and Svlad, and Dirk and Farah, events unfold in exactly the way you'd expect at Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
(This work is canon-compliant as per the end of Season 1. It refers to canon set out in the two Dirk Gently novels, the Dirk Gently 2010 TV Series, the Dirk Gently Comics "The Salmon of Doubt" and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, but none of that is needed to understand the work.)

Summary
The cogs and circuits of the great machine of inter-connectedness are once again in motion. A Thing is missing. In fact, several things are missing, and they have to be returned to their rightful owners. After a whole month of peace and quiet, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency has two whole new cases to solve. And what a fine pair of cases they are.
The journey will start close to home and venture beyond the Earth, far into the cosmos. It will connect an old professor (and his young friend), a paranoid billionaire, world’s worst mercenary and a band of mysterious twenty-somethings in a cool van.
Yes, the Rowdy Three are also there. Yes, there is more than one cool van in this book.
(You can’t go wrong with a cool van)
Read on to discover more of Dirk’s past and Amanda’s future, of the successes and errors of Black Wing supervisor Adams, of unspoken feelings and disappearing music boxes and meanings lost in translation.
Oh, and could there be someone watching this all from behind the reality curtains?..

Summary
There's another burst of electrocution, but this time, instead of the current running from one point up through the rest of his body in waves, it feels like the electricity is enveloping his entire body. Like how you hear thunder before you see the lightning, Todd feels his muscles seize up against the restraints first and then the excruciating, debilitating pain. His teeth clench down so hard that his jaw aches, narrowly missing his tongue. He feels like he’s going to convulse right out of his skin.
This is it, he thinks. He’s going to die a horrible, electrocution-induced death with nothing but the company of the sort-of friend who’s managed to ruin his entire life in less than a week and the knowledge that Amanda hates him and never wants to see him again. Maybe this is exactly what he deserves after all the terrible choices he’s made.

Summary
Dirk Gently is not a leaf floating along the stream of creation. He's a stone sinking straight down into the deep dark cold. Todd's been taken and Dirk would trade his very life to get his friend back safe and sound, but first he's going to have to run.
Crippled by fear and an increasingly tempestuous relationship with the universe, he finds that every step is a struggle in a battle he can't afford to lose. But it isn't a fight he has to face alone, and Farah's not about to let him drown.

Summary
Dirk Gently (as he's taken to calling himself) has spent most of his life in Blackwing custody. In that time absolutely nothing of any interest has happened. Instead, a good deal of not-very-good or possibly even very-bad things have happened. These mostly involved a number of people in white coats poking and prodding him while making him guess at numbers. Outside of these unwanted visitors, the vast majority of Dirk's time is spent alone. And then one day a technician leads Dirk into a room where a boy around his age sits behind a table, looking sullen and perhaps a little nervous. Dirk likes him immediately.
Alternate Meeting AU, in which 21 year old Dirk meets 20 year old Todd while still in Blackwing custody.
