Summary
A collection of DGHDA ficlets, all based on prompts I've gotten on tumblr (protecticarus, hence the title).
All prompts are found at the beginning of each chapter and all chapters read as individual stories! All chapters are also now named to (hopefully) help you navigate them a little easier. So feel free to pick and choose and skip around or read in order, however you want!
Many thanks to everyone who has been prompting, reading and liking these so far!

Summary
”I’m talking about you, out there, with my parents.” Todd tried to get Dirk to understand.
”Did I do something wrong?” Dirk asked, now worried.
Todd blinked a few times. ”You really don’t know what I’m talking about, do you?” He finally asked.
”No?” Dirk replied.
”My parents think we’re a couple.” Todd explained.
”A couple…?”
”Dating, in a relationship, romantically involved!” Todd huffed in frustration.
Dirk looked genuinely surprised. ”They do?”
”Yes!” Todd exclaimed. ”And you’re confirming it for them!”
”I am?” Dirk asked.
”Yes! Obviously!” Said Todd.
OR
Based on a prompt I got on tumblr: "Dirk meets Todd's parents who just assume Dirk is his boyfriend, and for fun Dirk plays along while Todd is clueless."

Summary
“Whatever, Coldwater! All I’m saying is... I get it, okay?” Kady interrupted.
Quentin was taken aback. “Get what?”
Kady scoffed. “Please. You don’t think I know what a person who’s lost someone they love looks like? I own fucking mirrors.” She remarked.
Quentin’s breath got caught in his throat.
OR: Kady notices Q suffering and knows what he’s going through, a little too well even.
Set in season 4 before everything went to shit.

Brave Face (Talk So Lightly) by AssassinOfRome

Summary
Todd wonders how many more gulps of coffee his body can take before his heart decided to reach its inevitable conclusion and completely explode.
It was day three of the Cardenas case, and they were no closer to finding the boy than they had been previously, despite their somewhat terrifying encounter with the purple monster-thing, and Dirk’s discovery of the strange scissors. No doubt both of these would be connected eventually, but it was hard to handle the holistic hold of the universe at 2AM.
Todd wonders if this is what his wit’s end felt like. It was surprisingly less frayed than he’d pictured.
Dirk and Todd are shaken up after the incident at the Cardenas House, and have a conversation they probably should have had much earlier.

Summary
Cas is hit with what Dean calls a “fuck-or-die” spell. The Winchesters drive him back to the bunker at full speed, but he’s not going to make it – he needs help NOW. Dean passes the wheel to Sam, and hops into the Impala’s back seat. But there’s only so much pretending he and Castiel can do. If they’re going to fix this problem, they need to stop acting like they don’t want each other, and describe their desires. But quietly. Because poor Sam can only turn the radio up so loud.

Summary
One morning Emma gets ready to sneak off the Jolly, only to find that she cannot bring herself to leave.
Three cups of S3 canon divergence, one cup of introspection, one cup of softness, and a dash of frustration.
Hold all curses.
Simmer and stir until a decision is reached.
