Dirk and Jake outside an auto shop. It’s dark and the sign is glowing. Dirk is leaning back on the railings. Jake is leaning forward, resting his elbow on the railings and his cheek in his hand. He’s grinning.

Rated G, 2k words, complete. Summary: Dirk has lived in this crammed city all his life, a solitary figure in a sea of humanity. He had thought his perceptions of his home were set in stone, but then he meets Jake, a boisterous young man from the wilderness who gives him a new outlook.

DIRKJAKE 💥BIG BANG

“The Last Will and Testament of Dirk L. Strider”

Illustrated by: modernchemical tumblr
Written by: @nintendont2502.bsky.social

archiveofourown.org/works/638677...

Intro tags: Implied Suicide, Inspired by IWTV, Vampires

#dirkjake #dirkjakeweek25 #djbb25

Two images of Dirk and Jake, in a green hue. Jake has Dirk backed up. Dirk asks “What are you? Are you even human?” There is blood seeping from Jake’s mouth.

Rated T, 4k words, Ongoing. Summary: If you’re reading this, I’m dead.
Bold fuckin’ opening, I know, but what else am I meant to say? I’d apologise (and I do), but that doesn’t change anything. I’m still dead, one way or another.
So. This isn’t an apology. It’s not really an excuse, either. Honestly, I have no fuckin’ clue what this is. I just… don’t want there to be any ambiguity around this shit, I guess. I can never fully explain why, but the more I try, the less room there is for y'all to blame yourselves.
It wasn’t your fault. It never was.

A jaded vampire and a depressed man walk into a bar. Both of them end up hurt.

#dirkjake #dirkjakeweek25 #djbb25

Image of the back of Dirk’s head. Jake, as a glowing, partially nude, guardian angel stands before him, beckoning with his hand.

Rated T, 1.6 word count, Ongoing. Summary: Dirk Strider has been having a rough few years. Rough to the point where he apparently needs divine intervention. Surely his guardian angel Jake English can remind him that life is worth living… Right?

Intro tags: AU Firefighters, Misunderstandings, Childhood Friends, no smut but plenty of thirst lol

#dirkjake #dirkjakeweek25 #djbb25

Dirk and Jake as firemen. Dirk is sitting down on a bench, Jake is standing. They are shaking hands.

A calendar. Jake is the photo spread for July. He is shirtless and hanging off a ladder.

Rated T, 4k words, complete. Summary: Firefighting is a dangerous career- for the heart, just as much as the body. Luckily, Dirk is completely competent and capable of dealing with such awkward endeavors like, "having a crush on your coworker," in the most normal and regular way possible.

The question is only whether or not said coworker is also capable of being normal about it.
