FIC: Between the Brushstrokes - [10/?]

Title: Between the Brushstrokes
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Daniel, Rorschach, Adrian, Manhattan in pt 1, Dan/Ror (gee you think?) later on.
Date Written: 2009
Summary: A lot happens in the in-between spaces; in the tiny intervals of time in which no one is watching, we are free. Dan and Rorschach face the future more head-on than they expected; Adrian learns about regret and what happens when you're wrong.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13, some language. Philosophy, violence, twilight zone bullshit, time travel, pretentious metaphors, and Waffle House.
Notes: Yet ANOTHER kinkmeme prompt. Post-GN fixit. In progress.
Art Note: Illustration in this chapter is by wednesday42 , <3

( It could also be a blatant trap he's walking into, here. Like the awareness of his hideaway location's breach and the greater futility of fighting this, any of this, that fact isn't connecting. )

FIC: Breathing Room

Title: Breathing Room
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Dan/Rorschach.
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Some patrols go badly; then there are patrols like these.
Rating/Warnings: PG... 13? Gratuitous nudity, but nothing sexual.
Notes: Kinkmeme fill, prompt was for Rorschach having a panic attack/hyperventilating and Dan needing to talk him down. He's a pretty tough nut to crack so I had to pull out the big guns on this one, and bring them all to bear at once. Pardon the contrivances, CHEAP PLOT DEVICE IS CHEAP.

( It really isn't what it looks like – it isn't. )

FIC: Captcha and misc IV

Fandom: Watchmen
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Ficlets. #1 is an actual Captcha fic; the remaining three are fics written to prompts provided by my flist(and there will be more of these) that, since the post they're in was locked, I'm going to put here.
Rating/Warnings: PG. All pretty light and okay. Implied one-sided slash in #1, Tailor!Zombie!Schach in #2, creepy stalker!Ror in #4.

#1 - Prompt: 'orbit I'm'
( He spends his nights circling, working his way closer, sidling sideways between constellations of violence and justice and the brutal efficiency of fists and feet in the dark. )

#2 - Prompt: "Maybe the continuing adventures of Nite Dove? Or anything about Dan's silly alt. costumes, I don't think I've seen a fic about his green, aquatic one. (Maybe with a dose of Rorschach snark?)"
( Dan feels idiotic - really, really stupid. )

#3 - Prompt: "Dan giving Rorschach the grapple gun. The first time Rorschach felt comfortable enough with Dan to call him Daniel instead of Nite Owl."
( The name too, but that is already soft-edged in his mind, in the way it rides on his tongue but never quite slips free. )

#4 - Prompt: "Rorschach giving Dan an entirely inappropriate birthday present (bizarre, lame, creepily thoughtful). 'Not a birthday present. Didn't even know it was your birthday. Look up your file? Of course I didn't.'"
( He's not prepared for a bow. )
