Summary
‘Do you have to play that junk out loud?’
Dirk spins and gasps, overly dramatic, and clutches his chest in faux pain. He raises a brow. 'That junk, Todd, is Robbie Williams.'

Summary
It has to be impossible, because if Todd isn’t mistaken, there’s a human body attached to the tail, pale and lithe, with definite human arms, and blurry hair rippling over a definite human head.
It can’t be real. Because there’s no such thing as merpeople. Todd knows, in the same way that every grownup person with an imagination eroded by reality knows that merpeople aren’t real. Neither are unicorns or dragons or fairies. In the same way that 1 plus 1 is always 2, and you inevitably have to pay taxes.
Jesus, they kept this a well guarded secret.

Summary
The grass whips past him, stinging his calves, and his gown catches at thorns, ripping. Cold air tears at his lungs with every shaky inhale, crisp and bitter. His feet are burning, bloody, but he still follows the others, charging steadily across the field towards the trees. It hurts, as they trample further and faster, hurtling like meteors away from blank concrete walls and blank faces and blank memories, but he’ll run as far and as fast as he has to. Maybe he’ll never stop running. He won’t let them take him back.
Not any more, not ever again.

Summary
Quite frankly, Dirk is sick of the universe by now. It’s only been 10 years, 10 years of running around doing its bidding and never getting a single thing back for himself. No friends, no relationships, not even a single kiss after 10 years, no matter how many cases he solves, how many cats he returns to lost owners, or flowers he saves from evil gardeners.

Summary
Dirk knocks on Todd’s door at odd hours to ask his opinion on manatees and monsoons. Dirk steals his pizza from the delivery guy. Dirk does everything he can to irritate Todd’s few precious hours away from work. He suffers through it until the day that Dirk breaks into his apartment through the window while he’s in the shower.
Dirk spends a while too long staring at Todd’s naked torso before Todd throws the closest thing to hand at him, which turns out to be a shoe. Dirk yelps and drops the cereal he was stealing out of Todd’s cupboard, and protests all the way out of the apartment before Todd finally shuts the door on him.
He buys better locks the next day. He doesn’t see Dirk for 2 weeks.
