Tiny one-shot inspired by the events after the bathtub scene :) Just pure fluff and comfort, as Bart deserves.

Summary
Panto is dead, Ken has betrayed her, and Bart Curlish finally knows why so many people hate being alone. After disappearing from Todd and Dirk's apartment on a slow Thursday afternoon, she goes on a search for her purpose outside of her holistic abilities, only to discover that the world is not quite as kind as she expected it to be. After mistaking a mental health crisis line as a sign that her abilities are needed to save people, Bart is sectioned, and left wondering if Blackwing was home for her all along.
Slow updates! Hopefully this will have a happy ending, but it depends how I feel :) Archive warnings will be edited accordingly and tws will be added in notes before chapters ! Bart is so complex and interesting, and she was pushed to the side way too much in S2...

Fandoms: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (TV 2016)

Summary
He huffed in disgust. “I solved the bloody case.”
Todd’s eyes went wide. “You… usually seem a little happier about that, when it happens.”
----Five months after Bergsberg, the Holistic Detective Agency is finding a groove, and Dirk is maybe—just maybe—starting to trust a good thing to last. But a bout of cat-subsidized calm draws to a sharp close when Dirk and Todd find an impossibly-severed head on a rare day off. Unbeknownst to the Agency, the ever-accumulating Rowdy 3, or even the enthusiastic new leadership at Blackwing, a decades-old play for control is poised to ripple across a fractious, fractured, and fractal Universe. Survival will mean holding true to oneself, even in the face of friends and family—whether given, chosen, or fatalistically entwined.

Summary
“Long day, huh, kiddo?” Dana says, voice soft.
Cassie’s breath hitches. It’s loud in the silence of the car. She blinks. Licks her lips. She doesn’t know if she wants to cry or press her thighs together. Either way, she needs to say something.
“Way too long,” she says. Her voice is rougher than she’d like. She clears her throat. “But it’s over now, and I am really looking forward to crashing on your couch.”

Summary
Dr Cassie McKay slowly approached her 10th year of sobriety, but she felt her mental health slowly deteriorating and the cravings returning. After a particularly triggering shift, something snapped and she found herself on the edge of a relapse. Despite their relationship being strictly friendly coworkers (who secretly have feelings for each other that they've hidden for years), she called Dana Evans in the middle of the night to intervene. Dana was able to save Cassie from her worst impulses, and it changed everything between the two.
Cassie and Dana try to figure out what their relationship means through recovery, mental health crises, and learning to be who you really are later in life.

Summary
Cassie lifts her gaze from her bloodstained fingertips and surveys her surroundings. The air is hazy, acrid enough to make her cough. She's in her car, her vision a wash of monochrome. She closes her eyes, trying to quell her rising nausea. The accident comes back to her in pieces with the rest of her senses. She can smell smoke. The car ahead of her had slid into her lane to pass someone. The blare of a horn reaches her, distant, but obnoxious. Cassie had slowed, but there was a truck riding her ass, so not by much. Not by enough. The airbags are deflated against her steering wheel. Glass peppers the seat and Cassie's lap. She'd tried to swerve.
or: Cassie gets in an accident and Baran has a seizure about it. Luckily Dana's there to sort it all out.
