three months after the events of Bergsberg and Wendimoor, Dirk is kidnapped again.

following this, it becomes very clear, very quickly, that Todd hasn't yet taken the time to mentally process the drastic shift that has taken place within his life, leading up to this point.

this is the aftermath.

hellooooo there !

i know that i should technically be working on my WIP, but here! have this ~10k of self-indulgent angst and hurt/comfort instead !

Dirk and Todd give things another try, a particularly sensitive nerve is touched, and Todd is offered some (much needed) advice.

Todd is faced with an uncomfortable situation, Dirk finds assistance from an unlikely source, and a long-overdue discussion is had.

itty bitty epilogue featuring our favorite disaster gays, a double date, and no small amount of shameless fluff.

the epilogue is finally here!!! there’s a (very) long thank you in the notes of this chapter, but I want to offer again my thanks to everyone who’s interacted with this fic. it’s been such a fun and lovely experience, and i’m sad to see it end. regardless, i hope that you all enjoy the epilogue, and continue to stick around for more dumb and sappy stories xx

Dirk and Todd approach their second date with unbridled enthusiasm, though they end up careening toward some unforeseen speedbumps. Some uncomfortable topics are broached, and an uncomfortable truth is revealed.

Dirk shares some information to the right audience, some miscommunications are cleared, a decision is made, and Todd has a hard time wrapping his mind around the situation.

chapter 3 is up! a huge bucket of love and affection and gratitude to those who have continued to read, left kudos and (very lovely) comments, and reblogged my updates. y’all are the reason i keep writing! love you all 💙💙

Dirk pines, and follows a blind surge of confidence into a hasty decision. Todd, meanwhile, isn't having the best time, and is left (arguably) more confused than he started out--a feat in itself.

second chapter’s dropped! (i made it a whole 24 hours before getting impatient to share more fjlgdsfkll)

hope you enjoy!

Todd is kind of a mess and worries more than is necessary (as per usual), Dirk and Todd learn a bit more about each other, and get the opportunity to bask in the warm comfort of a first date for a bit.

chapter 4 babey !!!! huge thanks again to all who’ve stuck with this sappy little Hallmark romance, and shout-out to those who’ve left encouraging comments on each chapter. love you all!! xx
