So excited to post the art I’ve done for the Dirk Gently Big Bang, and more specifically, for elijahwoodnot’s beautiful fic, “Tall Clear Letters”. It’s been such a pleasure working with Lij, and their fic (which, by the way, is about how Dirk catalogues Todd’s many different blushes, and does a decent bit of blushing himself, so: get on it) is so sweet and heartfelt and well-written!! I couldn’t have asked for a better assignment.#1:He pulled back sharply, gulping air hungrily and taking the opportunity to study the post-kiss sensations flittering over Todd’s face–Todd’s face, which was growing redder by the moment. The bright flush had started on his cheekbones, but quickly spread over his petite nose and crept into the spaces in between. Dirk felt his eyes widen as he watched the progression in fascination, tilting his head to the side and losing himself in the study. By the time Todd’s eyes had fluttered open, the heat had crept up and into his ears, tinting their tips a bright, enticing pink that Dirk had to roughly tear his gaze away from.#2:He looked small - small and unsure and everything that Dirk never wanted to see Todd looking again….Dirk watched with a sinking heart as a bright red flush began to slowly creep up Todd’s neck, painting his ears a deep, embarrassed red before moving to cover his face.#3:Dirk, having frozen for a brief moment in utter shock, quickly recovered himself and wrapped his own arms firmly around Todd’s waist, squeezing as tightly as he dared and feeling his own breath escape his lungs with a whoosh.“I’d hoped–” he murmured, the words sounding choked even to his own ears, “I hope it makes you happy. Happier…and I’m sorry.”“You idiot,” Todd muttered back immediately, fiercely, tightening his hands in the fabric of Dirk’s coat and holding him longer and tighter than Dirk could ever remember really being held, “you absolute idiot. You make me happy.” -- source link
