Drabble Meme

[etherati]

Snagged from wednesday42 , from whom I requested a drabble; now reposting as requested.

Also participating, and involved in WM, to my knowledge: steals_thyme , circleswithin , tuff_ghost , jackiemei , chibifukurou , simshocking , slipstreamborne , mad_bertha , spiffystuff 

Fandom-wise I'd say anything I currently have fic for is fair game (Watchmen, Doctor Who, Final Fantasy 7(Turks only, sorry), Equilibrium, M*A*S*H, Moon, Hitchhiker's Guide) as well as a few others that I've written stuff for but never posted it (Human Target, Echo Bazaar, Scrubs, Firefly, Dead Like Me, and in honor of its 25th anniversary, BTTF!), but I fully expect the majority to be WM and that's cool.

So, to quote the prompt:

---

The first TEN people to comment get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing. Feel free to add prompt words/phrases/video if you like, just remember it's only 100 words.

In return, they have to post this meme in their own journal, offering drabbles OR icons (graphics fen, say one icon per prompt?), regardless of their ability level, and give it a go.

I AM ANAL ABOUT THE 100 WORDS THING, it will be PRECISELY 100 words if I can manage it. :D

Nevermind. I am picky about this when the drabbles are a personal challenge for ME, but these are meant to be gifts, and I won't make them less good just to shave them down to 100 words.

1. chibifukurou - Dan: Owls are predators too.
2. jackiemei - D/R/L "Only I'm allowed to call her that."
3. tuff_ghost - Dan, Hollis "I hope you two are being careful..."
4. steals_thyme - Dan/Zorschach: Flea market

Dan makes fucking machines. And uses them. On himself. Rorschach finds out. Go.

The ceiling swims in and out of focus; Dan screws his eyes shut, frustrated.

This had all started with a handheld motor and a moment of inspiration, watching the gears ratchet forward and back, forward and back; an epiphany that’d found its home coiled low in his belly and in the dank, lizardy back of his brain. Three months later and he’s on his back in the workshop, naked from the waist down and strapped in for his own safety as six inches of silicone work their slippery way in and out of him, relentless.

Still, it isn’t enough. There’s something wrong with the speed or the force, and there are dials that control these things--that’s what he’s testing, a new algorithm for force, such a hard to pin down combination of hungry plunge and sharp-snap backstroke--but he can’t reach them like this and this is going to end with an unsatisfying jerk-off like it always does and he has never been so frustrated and he could just fucking scream or tear his hair out or--

Or open his eyes.

Rorschach, standing impossibly close, mask staring down at him impassively.

“...oh, shit,” he manages after a long moment, mechanical squelches filling out the silence but he isn’t even noticing anymore, because oh shit, why is Rors-- and how is-- what, who, how did this--

Rorschach bends at the waist, moves imperceptibly closer, and the blots on his mask have fanned out into liquid black wings, unreadable. He makes a choked noise as Dan rocks with an exceptionally forceful jolt, lifts one hand, and Dan’s sure it’s going to ball into a fist or maybe, some lunatic voice offers in his head, maybe Rorschach is reaching for him, to touch him...

The hand hangs--then settles, light as a feather, on one of the dials.

Argh! suffering along with Dan here. This is looking like my favorite flavor of Ror/Dan coming right up :)

Once I continue it, probably. :D Thanks!

lol, I like that it starts with Dan looking at a motor and being all "Yeah, I can fuck that." The perks of an engineer's brain.

Ffff that is the FIRST QUESTION Dan asks of basically everything.
