#phryne is so insanely amazing

[esfordays]

Watching miss fisher again, and I can’t stop laughing oh my god

The constant underlying sexual tension is very funny to me

And the romance seems so natural it’s actually kind of nice

[bryndeavour]

I've seen you reblog a few Phryne Fisher things and it looks like a show I might enjoy! I wonder if you'd mind telling me a few things you like about it - thinking of starting watching soon!

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is a GREAT show. A must watch, really.

Phryne Fisher is a private investigator in the late 1920′s. She’s glamourous, funny, daring, drives fast cars, has sexual exploits, and carries a gun. Our detective, Jack Robinson, is also insanely attractive and a Good Man and very put-upon with all Phryne’s hijinks as the two of them maintain maddening sexual tension. Phryne also adopts a found family over the course of the show and everyone gets a good amount of character development, even most of the side characters.. which is very nice. There’s a butler name Mr. Butler, communist handymen/drivers, the sweetest and purest supporting side couple, and a brilliant lesbian best friend who is a doctor. Also Phryne is just amazing and manages to be badass, feminine, strong and sensitive - and has her faults!! - all at the same time. She’s so so so good.

There are 3 seasons of the show and 1 movie which is currently on Acorn i believe!! It’s a very good mood sort of show. Not overly tense with drama. Very vibrant and funny and fun and sexy. More of a adventuress vibe than a detective show alot of the time. But also with really solid and fun murder mystery themes a good amount of the time. I LOVE A THEMED EP.

Author Interview (/Artist Interview for me)

Right so I’m going to modify this a bit since the majority of my published stuff is art and not writing.

Tagged by: @viikirks

Name: Annika (yes, exactly like the girl from “Pippi Longstocking”, you can have a word to my parents about that)

Fandoms: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries

Where you post: AO3 and Tumblr for the art

Most popular one-shot: I have not published a one-shot yet, however the drawing that has by far been the most popular is this one, where I drew the kiss that should have happened at the end of “Unnatural Habits”.

Most popular multi-chapter story: Inktober Drabbles is not technically multi-chapter, because the chapters don’t form one story, but that one nonetheless as it’s the only fic I’ve posted. 

As for art, my Missed Opportunities series here on Tumblr (though also not connected) is the most popular (also because it’s been the majority of my posts).

Favorite story you wrote: I really do like all of my Inktober drabbles, my favorite would probably be the whump for Day 13 “Ash”.

For the art, it’s hard to pick a favorite because everything I draw is like a baby to me, there are only two that I look back on think “ugh, I really shouldn't have posted it like that”. The second drawing I ever published took me an insane amount of time to draw (because of Phryne’s coat) so that one is probably up there. I also really like this one, which is a kiss at the end of “Game, Set, Murder”. Also the Jack’s forehead kiss one. But now that I’m looking through them again, I really do like everything and I can’t really pick a favorite.

Story you were nervous to post: Hm, the story I was most nervous to post would have to be my first smutty drabble. 

Likewise with the art, the first Phrack kiss I drew and posted cost me a lot of nerves because it was so out of my comfort zone. My comfort zone has since expanded significantly, lol.

How you choose your titles: I need to do more titles. The drawings I seldomly title and if I do it’s something very basic. The drabbles I have prompts for so I avoided that issue there. :D But titles are coming.

Do you outline: No. I probably should. With the drabbles for Inktober I’m just kind of winging it and seeing where the drabble takes me. I think if I were to write a longer fic I would try to outline.

For the art I start off with stick figure sketches, essentially, to figure out if a pose I had in mind will work, then I add another rough sketch, then a finer one, and then I start coloring or whatever else I’m doing with the drawing and add in details etc. I guess that counts as an outline? 

Complete: Nothing on AO3 yet as the Inktober stuff is still going. On Tumblr I have posted 62 posts, many of those with multiple drawings. That’s actually a lot more than I thought I had, ahhhhh.

In-progress: Inktober definitely. Also there is a Whumptober fic that’s chilling on my laptop and waiting to be completed.

Coming soon/not yet started: (okay listen I have PLANS)

I have two ideas for smutty (who would have thought) one-shots that I really want to write

I am starting a new series of drawings inspired by fics, because there are SO many amazing authors and stories in this fandom. It will either be called “Ficspiration” (thank you @omgimsarahtoo ) or “Fic Pics” (thanks to @aurora-australis-tumbles )

I really want to fic my Missed Opportunities art series as well as other drawings. I do always have a clear concept/story in my head when I draw so I don’t know why I haven't written them down so far.

I’m trying to work out a Phrack thanksgiving special and am working on a collab for christmas

I’m also looking into Redbubble/ christmas cards/ coloring pages because all of those ideas have been brought up by people. <3

Do you accept prompts: ALWAYS. LITERALLY. Drop me a fucking prompt and I promise I’ll get it done. Anything. The prompts help me so much because I know someone wants to see what I’m drawing so literally anything you want to see, let me know. Now that I’m branching out into writing, the same goes for that. Please.

Upcoming story you are most excited to write: Probably one of the one-shots, there will be banging of all sorts involved. 

For the art, I’m very excited for the 10th post in my Missed Opportunities series because it’s “animated”. We’ll see how that goes, ha.

Tagging @whopooh , whose fics rank among my very very favorites of all time, and @raven-haired-lady-detective because I love reading what you write.

Miss Fisher Australia Tour – Epilogue

My Australia “Tour” has finally concluded after a little over six months. I wish I could spend six months at the Antipodes when the time comes for me to actually go on the trip, but it’s just wishful thinking as I don’t have the budget or free time. That being said, I don’t regret for a minute the insane amount of time I spent on researching and writing the 100 plus posts. It might have been taxing, but like Phryne said “Nothing that matters is easy”.

I have posted a number of series in the last four and a half years, but “Miss Fisher Australia Tour” has a particularly special place in my heart because through the process I learned so much about Australia – its history, cultures, society, and geography. Also, in order to get the facts right, I re-watched/listened to each episode multiple times the last few months, which reminded me just how much I loved the show for the wonderful storytelling, complex and loveable characters, talented actors, and remarkable crews that helped create the amazing Miss Fisher Universe that kept us captivated.

Last but not least, I was pleasantly surprised by the discovery that my inspiration had not gone dry. Believe it or not, I am already planning my next series. What topic is it going to be? You will have to wait and see.

(Posted 18-Jul-2019)

[firesign23]

would you ever write a crossover fic?

Absolutely! In theory, at least. So far all attempts at doing so haven’t gotten past the idea phase because it’s intensely difficult to find (1) worlds that work together, (2) a plot that works in both worlds, and (3) a way to balance multiple POV characters. Some people are able to make crossovers work with a cracky start (time travel, etc), but it’s not something I can manage.

I live in hope someone will write a Miss Fisher/The Mummy crossover one day, so I don’t have to write it. I will, maybe, eventually, write the Miss Fisher/Agent Carter crossover where Phryne and Peggy are amazing and Jack (Robinson) and Daniel just talk about how much they love their modern women and the complexities that come with it. Thankfully, a good friend has written a similar crossover, so it can fall down my insanely long list. And I’m still contemplating a Miss Fisher/Game of Thrones sort of fusion--1920s-inspired Westeros, mystery-adventure, murders and legends surrounding Brightroar. Jaime and Brienne are married academics, Phryne is the dear old friend they call in when they need a detective, etc. I have no idea what the character arcs for that would be (or how to keep JB in character), or really much of the plot, but there’s a very pretty collage I made that I look at while pining. (Actually, there was a discussion about a potential GoT/MFMM roundrobin when Crypt of Tears comes out, which is what I’m really holding out for! All the fun, only some of the work!)

Send me a “Would you write…”

General Likes:

Polyamory, gen, het, slash, femslash, families of choice, competence, BAMF female characters, angst, hurt/comfort, teamfic, pretty much all the tropes especially if there is a twist, worldbuilding, humor, redemption, for want of a nail AUs, time travel, werewolves, dragons, crossovers, non fantasy/SF canons encountering the supernatural/aliens, fix it fics

Also, I'm fine with mpreg as long as there's some worldbuilding involved beyond 'assbabies are totally normal and unquestioned'. Is it magic? Science? Shapeshifting? Whatever? As long as it's not just a thing that happens normally on Earth (reactions of humans to someplace it's common is a+). Even a/b/o mpreg is iffy for me because it's usually a feature of the world.

For any pairings, as long as they don't clash with my DNWs (first and foremost the incest DNW), I'm fine with either gen or romance no matter what the actual match is. Also, don't consider the length of a prompt as an indication of my enthusiasm for it. Some pairings I just have more ideas for, but others I have no idea what to prompt, but my brain just went !!! when I saw it.

I'm fairly certain it's obvious from my sign up that MCU Loki is a favorite character of mine. In general, I prefer Loki to be morally grey or conflicted or redeemable and not outright villainous. Think more pre-Thor or Ragnarok Loki rather than chaotic evil Loki. Anything with jotun!Loki, genderfluid Loki and bi/pan Loki would be amazing!

That said, any art in any style would be amazing! As for subject matter, I’d love to see any scenes from the prompts or stuff from my likes. Characters being affectionate, gentle touches, characters as werewolves, characters in fancy dress/costumes, characters doing magic, characters getting it on are also all welcome.

Generally speaking, a specific prompt is going to come before any stated DNWs.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Bruce Banner/Loki || Bruce Banner & Loki

One of my favorite pairings that there is a sad lack of fic for. I'd be happy with pretty much anything involving these two interacting, but I'd love something centered on their mutual realization of the similarity of their issues; their perceptions of themselves as monsters and realizing that 'hey, you understand!' and then being awkward friends (or more).

Maybe Loki's glamour fails at the end of Ragnarok, with Odin dead and Asgard gone. He might have put on plays revealing his origins, but that is way different than facing the reality. Bruce helps him cope.

Or maybe they talk about what's been going on on Earth. Does Bruce decide not to return there and goes off exploring the universe with Loki?

If you go the shippy route, I am a sucker for these two falling for each other very hard and very fast, like 'oh no, he's hot and kind and such an asshole?!' with a bit of pining and possessiveness.

En Dwi Gast | Grandmaster/Loki & Thor

Grandmaster/Loki is such a great ship that I somehow ended up shipping before I even saw the movie. This is one ship I am fine with a bit of dubcon and power imbalance. Loki's position on Sakaar canonically did not seem very stable and I can't imagine Loki would not be very aware of the power imbalance there and might end up doing things he normally wouldn't to keep being in the Grandmaster's favor. Especially considering the events prior to his arrival. That said, I would also not mind a fluffy and cracky version of them hooking up either, especially if Thor is watching the whole thing like ????

Actually, I would love something where Loki and the Grandmaster troll the everloving hell out of Thor. Maybe playing the strangest sounds coming from their bedroom when they know Thor can hear, but actually they're cuddling in bed and feeding each other grapes.

Or Thor's reaction if the Grandmaster comes find them on the ship looking for Loki. With Loki being oddly touched that someone went looking for him, even if he does still think the Grandmaster is insane.

Fenrir/Loki

Anything with this would have to involve a more intelligent Fenrir for my own sanity. Maybe even a shapeshifting Fenrir? That said, size kink ahoy. Also would not mind wolf babies.

Maybe Loki finds an...um interesting way to distract Fenrir during the battle? Would like Loki being utterly wrecked, but oddly satisfied by the end.

Frigga & Loki

A fascinating relationship that did not get explored nearly enough in the movies. I'd love a slightly darker take than fandom usually goes for. Frigga still stands by Odin, even after all the shit he's pulled and not once does she validate Loki's complicated feelings about him. Instead, it's all about trying to pull Loki back into the family fold without admitting Odin might have done anything wrong. And with Ragnarok's revelations, whole other facets can be explored. Is she Hela's mother? Does she know what happened and did that color her response to Loki? Was she part of the conquering? Was she the reason Odin changed?

I'd love an AU where she didn't die. How would have things turned out then?

Gamora & Nebula & Loki & Thor

Oh, all the parallels for the space siblings! Maybe Gamora and Nebula come across the Asgardian refugee ship? Maybe Thor and Loki go after Thanos and meet Gamora and Nebula who are doing the same and they decide to join forces?

As much as I would like to see Nebula & Loki and Gamora and Thor interacting, I would love to see Nebula & Thor and Gamora & Loki interacting instead (or as well). Maybe Thor gets along surprisingly (or not so surprisingly if we consider Loki) with Nebula and Loki is amazingly good at getting under Gamora's skin in a way she only thought Nebula could. Hell, maybe one set of siblings provides some therapy for the other. Seeing other people's problems is easier than reflecting on your own, after all.

Heimdall & Loki || Heimdall/Loki

These two have an interesting dynamic and I'd love to see it explored more! They go from kinda hating each other in the first movie to almost amused bantering in the third. How did that happen? Heimdall was obviously aware something was up with Odin, but he didn't really do anything about it beyond hide. And Loki didn't seem to keen on trying to catch him. Was he going to do something until he saw Loki was just taking a break from the shitshow his life had become? Or maybe Loki actually impressed him a little bit with how he ran Asgard and loosened the leash on the other realms?

Or, for an AU, Loki gets Heimdall on his side as he rules Asgard and feelings develop? And it's all very complicated due to the deception Loki pulls posing as Odin so they have to hide because imagine the scandal of the Allfather moving on from his beloved queen so quickly.

Maybe just something with the two of them interacting on the ship after everything. There's one theory that Heimdall is/has the Soul stone - does Heimdall know Loki has the Tesseract because of it?

Or maybe all that hate in the first movie was just UST that went unresolved because the Gatekeeper couldn't consort with a Prince and they finally let it all out after on the ship.

Hela & Loki

Far too little interaction between these two in the movie. I'd be happy with anything. Obviously, there are so many parallels between them. Do they commiserate? Does Hela view Loki with contempt?

Maybe Hela is the reason Odin reacted badly anytime Loki shapeshifted into a woman. How would the revelation about Hela play into Loki's perception of that?

I would also love an AU where Hela wasn't forgotten and trapped, but still a member of the family. What would their lives be like as siblings? Would she (still bitter about Odin's change of heart) reveal Loki's origins to him, trying to get him to hate her? I'd imagine that could backfire spectacularly, since she'd be the only one to tell him the truth. With Hela still there, would Odin even take Loki from Jotunheim? Maybe Hela is the one to pick him up, viewing him more like her beloved Fenrir than a son or brother.

Hulk/Loki || Hulk & Loki

All of the size kink, please. Also, I love stuff where Loki's jotun instincts kick him in the head and make him pay attention to the Hulk because yes, this one can beat the tar out of me without breaking a sweat. And the Hulk being a bit confused, but up for it. Loki is a puny god and puny giant, but it's not like he'll break. Green babies welcome (maybe Loki's instincts get kickstarted by the fact his world is gone now and well someone needs to repopulate the planet).

For stuff not quite so in the gutter, I'd love something that elaborated on their relationship (platonic or otherwise) on the ship. Maybe Loki is put in charge of making sure the Hulk doesn't tear the ship apart? It could go from Loki forcibly putting him to sleep or trying to bring Bruce back to telling him stories or maybe even the Hulk turns out to be great at flyting.

Maybe Loki finds out who the Grandmaster's champion is before Thor arrives and works on befriending him. Could start out as Loki wanting to use the Hulk for his own purposes, but growing to care for him on his own terms. Maybe the Hulk reminds him of Thor too much and heartsick at the thought that Thor is dead, Loki just clings a lot.

Korg of Krona/Loki

I literally have no idea how to make this pairing happen, but I'm totally open to it! Not sure what Korg would get out of it either, seeing how he's made of rock. But I believe in you, chocolatier! I know you can make this work :D

Maybe Loki ends up too electrocuted to be coherent enough to direct Korg and the other gladiators to go to Asgard and it ends up destroyed? Cue comforting.

Or maybe Loki just really likes debating with Korg about his revolutionary pamphlets and it goes from there.

Maybe Korg wins a particularly impressive fight and the Grandmaster lends him Loki for the day. Loki is game for it. I'd be deeply amused if this prompt just ended with them playing like chess or something because Korg misreads the situation.

Loki/Pepper Potts/Tony Stark

My OT3 for this fandom! I'd love anything! To see how it happens, to see a scene when they're already established, negotiating it, or defending it, anything! How does Loki deal with his longevity vs Pepper and Tony? Does he try to fix it? Does it happen without his intervention? Or does he decide to become mortal for them?

Perhaps an AU where a jotun Loki comes to Earth and gets involved with them (bonus for worldbuilding that jotnar relationships are polyamorous far more often than on Earth). Or maybe he has a fling with them (separately or together) when he was younger and then feelings when he meets them again?

Maybe after Civil War, Pepper manages to outmaneuver Loki into joining her and Tony, bagging them a powerful ally for Infinity War?

Nick Fury/Loki

Despite everyone teasing them about daddy issues, Loki and Fury were fucking long before Fury lost his eye.

Or maybe Loki approaches Fury after the Dark World with an offer of cooperation and things happen. Or Loki wrangles an offer of amnesty after the Avengers with the reveal that Hydra has infiltrated SHIELD after pulling the info from the mind of one of his minions (and things happen).

I'd love anything with the two power coupling all over the place. Or Loki baiting Fury into having his way with him everywhere.

Both of them pretended to be dead for a while, maybe they shared tips and commiserated?

Loki/Bruce Banner/Brunnhilde | Valkyie

I'd love something where, for all their individual dysfunctions, they all work together pretty well. Bruce doesn't have to worry about hurting them, even if he accidentally Hulks out, but also provides a stabilizing influence for them. Loki might be twisty and a drama queen, but he is fiercely loyal once he decides that he wants this. Brunnhilde gets a friend and sparring partner in Bruce and someone she can show her darker side to in Loki. Somehow, they make it all work.

Or for something more cracky, maybe they all just got together during one of the Grandmaster's orgies and never fell apart after.

Loki & Yondu Udonta

They're both blue aliens with issues! I can just see them being weird friends (that they would never ever admit to being) :D

Maybe after Loki falls off the Bifrost, he lands on Yondu's ship? He doesn't want to return to Asgard and can't think of anything better to do, so he sticks around. Yondu keeps him because a magic shapeshifting alien with Aesir strength is great to have around for ravaging.

Or maybe Loki uses Yondu to escape Thanos. Maybe he even drags Gamora and Nebula for the ride?

Or does Yondu visit Asgard, hoping to pull a con there and gets caught by Loki? Instead of handing him over to Odin, Loki takes him out for a drink and they swap ever more ridiculous stories.

Crossover Fandom

Dirk Gently (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency) & Tenth Doctor (Doctor Who)

Dirk Gently gets people where they need to go, which makes him a perfect companion for the Doctor. It lets the TARDIS have a break from doing the same. Or they join forces and make the Doctor's life even more chaotic.

Or perhaps the TARDIS takes the Doctor to Blackwing and he takes Dirk away from there. Or does Dirk accidentally get on the TARDIS, perception filter or no? Does the Doctor try to get rid of him or is he delighted by such unexpected company?

Dirk Gently (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency) & Loki (MCU)

Is Loki a Blackwing subject and that's how they meet? Does he break Dirk out, planning to use him for some purpose?

Or the man who gets people where they need to go meets the god who has no idea where he is supposed to be. How does Dirk help Loki in that case?

For a crack prompt, perhaps Loki mindcontrols Dirk and tries to use him for taking over, but the universe makes things go improbably wrong for Loki's plans, but pretty great for everything else for him.

Dirk ends up on Sakaar, the planet of the lost. Does the universe implode or is he just there to get a certain trickster god to where he needs to be?

Farah Black (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency) & Samuel Vimes (Discworld novels)

Farah apprentices under Sam Vimes. He's impressed by her encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law (even Ankh Morpork's labyrinthine one), but less so with her attempts to blindly follow it. Especially considering some of them contradict each other twice.

Or maybe they team up to bring down a criminal. Maybe Vimes is the apprentice when he appears on Earth and wants to be a cop again.

Granny Weatherwax (Discworld novels) & Loki (MCU)

During my first Yuletide, I received a few amazing fics with this pairing and I'm hankering to see more of this scenario.

Loki falls to the Discworld in Lancre and Granny decides to knock some sense into him through hard work and headology.

Or maybe a young Loki gets sick of being called a witch all the time and decides to really learn how to be one. Granny has no idea what to do with an actual god trying to be her apprentice so of course she acts like she knows exactly what she's doing and takes him on. It ends up surprisingly well.

Groot (MCU) & Treebeard (LOTR)

Flora Colossi are either a subspecies or an offshoot of Ents. Does Groot come across Treebeard and Middle-earth in his travels? Did the Entwives disappear to Planet X?

Does Groot help the Fellowship out? Or does he invite Treebeard to go see the universe with him?

Loki (MCU) & Donna Noble (Doctor Who)

Loki falls from the bifrost and crashes into the TARDIS. Donna, experienced with dealing with skinny angsty godlike aliens, knows how to handle him.

Or maybe Loki and Donna keep meeting through the years as she travels with the Doctor and he is intrigued by this mortal that never seems to age. Maybe he helps her deal with the Doctor's memories - perhaps what science cannot fix, magic can.

Loki (MCU) & Ned Stark (ASoIaF)

Because reasons, Loki swears fealty to Stark and helps out with the politics part of the GOT causing Ned to survive.

Maybe he'd been shapeshifted into the direwolf they find at the beginning of the book? Maybe he comes to Westeros during Robert's Rebellion and helps out, even when injured or something?

Loki (MCU)/Theon Stark (ASoIaF)

Loki discovers Westeros during the time of Theon Stark the Hungry Wolf and is super into him. Together, they go into bloodsoaked wars and emerge victorious. Does Loki decide this is a place he wants to rule? Is he content with just Theon?

Loki (MCU) & Franklin "Foggy" Nelson (Daredevil (TV))

So Avengers Academy had a Defenders event where Loki and Foggy had a beautiful friendship. Which just made me want the same for the movie and tv versions of them. I just want them bro'ing around together.

For a more serious prompt: Loki is kept for trial on Earth. No one but Nelson & Murdock want to represent him. Or the Hoggarth firm kicks it down to Foggy once complications arise. Anyway, there's something off about this case (I'm not a lawyer, but international/interplanetary jurisdiction, extradition,human rights etc etc) and Foggy is going to get to the bottom of it. This would be a variation where there were extenuating circumstances for the Incident.

Loki (MCU) & Q (Star Trek)

Tricksters in spaaaaace. Anything with Loki and Q being BFFs across the universe.

Phryne Fisher (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (TV))/Jack Harkness (Doctor Who)

They met, they banged, she solved his murder.

Phryne Fisher (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries)/Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek: TNG)

This strikes me as a fascinating dynamic. Phryne would draw out some of Picard's mischievousness while he'd be a stabilizing influence. Does Picard time travel to the twenties? Does Phryne end up in the future somehow? Imagine her on the Enterprise!

Samuel Vimes (Discworld novels) & the One Ring (LOTR)

Anything inspired by this post http://emoinspace.tumblr.com/post/168728003648 where Vimes arrests the One Ring for being an accessory to murder.

Either that, or Vimes is the only Man who can resist the Ring for a long time out of sheer bloody mindedness.

Tauriel (Hobbit movies) & Boromir (LOTR)

Do they meet before the events of LOTR? Does she come across him on the road and accompany him to Rivendell? Or does she come across him on Amon Hen in time to save him?

I'd just be fascinated by them meeting. Tauriel who wants to go out in the world and do more to fight back and Boromir who has been fighting his entire life. I expect Boromir would be a little more at ease meeting a Silvan elf than the Noldor he first encountered.

Or maybe after the Battle of the Five Armies, Tauriel makes her way to Ithilien and spends her years there fighting. The soldiers of Gondor think she's a myth until Boromir meets her.

Tony Stark (MCU) & Ned Stark (Game of Thrones)

Tony Stark as a Stark of Winterfell would be great! How is he related to them? Does he just want to stay in his holdfast building stuff? How do events go (for his family especially) with him in the picture?

Or maybe Tony just finds himself in Westeros and gets in with the Starks due to his name. Does he hang with Ned? Does he try to upgrade Winterfell?

Wonder Woman (DCU) & Loki (MCU)

I want one thing from this interaction and that's Lasso of Truth angst. Does she tie him with it while fighting him? What does he say? How panicked does he get? When Diana realizes, how does she react? No one's ever really truly panicked before when she used it, after all. Do they become friends after? Or at least not enemies?

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Farah Black/Todd Brotzman/Dirk Gently || Farah Black & Todd Brotzman & Dirk Gently

These three just make my heart happy, ok? They're such great friends, I love them. Farah and Todd spent months trying to look for Dirk! Dirk kept thinking they would come for him! I love it.

This can be either shippy or no, but I would love something that deals with Dirk's time in Blackwing. He was such a mess in season 2, I would love for something where Todd and Farah take care of Dirk and help him be less high strung.

Or maybe something with the three solving a case in their newly acquired offices? Dirk and Todd helping Farah train and study (not that she needs to) for a PI license?
