Title: Solidarity
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Z!Rorschach, Dan, Hollis, OC
Date Written: 2010
Summary: Being different is more bearable when you're not alone in it, or: Rorschach plays child counselor, in his own special way.
Rating/Warnings: PG.
Notes:  Zombie!verse, about a month post-Roche. An extrapolation on this wonderful piece by [livejournal.com profile] slipstreamborne .

“Any extra hands you can bring along would be appreciated, you know,” he says, intent transparent even over the rough connection, and Dan can’t help but grin into the handset at the way Hollis never. Ever. Gives up. )
etherati: (WM - R L - fight)
Title: Visions and Revisions
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Z!Ror/Dan, Laurie
Date Written: 2010
Summary: Stupid Dan breaks his stupid arm. Laurie has to stand in for him - and work with Rorschach - on a critical mission, and reevaluations are made all around.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13, minor language.
Notes: Dear god I have no idea what I'm doing here please don't kill me.

Part 1 here.
Part 2 here.

She’s lurching unevenly; Rorschach’s all but draped over her shoulder now, and it’s awkward and she's exhausted but they've made it. )

Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Z!Ror/Dan, Laurie

Part 1 here.

The illumination of the tunnel they've left fades behind them; this one is even more disused, and echoes. )

Title: Shoes at the Door
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Dan/Z!Rorschach, pre-Lilacs
Date Written: 2010
Summary: Home (n): 1 : one's place of residence, domicile, house. 2 : the social unit formed by a family living together. 3 : a familiar or usual setting, a congenial environment.
Rating/Warnings: PG, introspective fluff.
Notes: Set between 'Superstition' and 'Breeding Lilacs'.

It starts in the guest room, and it’s a practical thing: a few large maps tacked to the walls, identical unfolded subway diagrams with the city grid overlaid. )

Title: And I Will Repay
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Adrian, Dan, but no pairings.
Date Written: 2009
Summary: The vengeance of the mass-murdered and forgotten cannot be held off indefinitely.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13. Violence, obvs.
Notes: "Unforeseen consequences of worldwide irradiation." Zombies, but not related to the usual WM zombie sandbox. Written for [livejournal.com profile] zombie_fest .

Sensationalist journalism, he thinks, and that has its own implications. )
etherati: (WM - R/D - partners)
Fandom: Watchmen
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Captcha/Misc/Commentfic Ficlets. #1 is a captcha, #2 is from a prompt for 'random fluff', #3 is a comment fic from [livejournal.com profile] comment_fic. #1 and #2 are z!verse, #1 and #3 are srs bsns, #2 is ridiculous crack.
Rating/Warnings: PG.

#1
Title:
Superstition
Prompt: 'january repays'
He stops, leans against a lamppost, hunches his coat tighter around him. Old habits. )

#2
Title:
Spoons
Prompt: Generalized fluff.
The spoon falls from his mouth to the table with a clatter. )

#3
Title:
Understood
Prompt: 'never in so many words'
It could just as easily be a broken axle in Archie's hydraulics he's reaching to repair. )

A grunt of... what? Frustration, annoyance? She's spent too little time interacting with him to be able to decipher this shit, and why can't he just use language like everyone else does? )

Title: Luck
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Z!Ror, Dan
Date Written: 2009
Summary: When you have unconventional things to be thankful for, be thankful in unconventional ways.
Rating/Warnings: PG.
Notes: Zombieverse Thanksgiving, because I am a dork. Set just before the end of NaB, technically.

Good intentions only stretch so far.  )

etherati: (WM - R/D - stakeout)
Fandom: Watchmen
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Captcha Ficlets. #1 and #2 are Z!verse, #3 is canon post-GN NYC.
Rating/Warnings: PG... 13? For some mentions of violence in various forms? Oh and baawwwwsad on the last one.

#1 - Prompt: 'devalved doctors'
He can't breathe. Oh god, he can’t– )

#2 - Prompt: '6-1/2-79 overheat'
They clamber onto the rooftop and stand for a moment, eyes tracing the line of the eaves and the city shapes beyond, firefly-lit towers reaching into firefly-lit sky.  )

#3 - Prompt:
'$45 retyped'
Human life isn't worth much in Adrian's utopia. Ideas, though. Well. )
etherati: (WM - Z - something to lose)
Fandom: Watchmen
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Two AU Mashup ficlets, one very old, one new. The first is a pileup of all the supernatural/transformation AUs on the kinkmeme at the time it was written. The second is Z!Rorschach and a version of Dan from the fic 'A Poor Hand Played Well' in which Dan loses his finances, his house, etc, and has to stay with Rorschach. In-jokes abound in both of these, sorry.
Rating/Warnings: PG, pretty tame all around.

Tales from the Twilight-Zone Corner
“…what’re you in for?” Dan finally asks, conceding defeat, trying to play it like a joke. )

Mismatched

When he opens them again, Rorschach’s in front of him, expectant and somehow more still than he’s ever been. )
etherati: (WM - Z - cowboy)
Title: Carrefour
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Walter, Dan peripherally, Z!Walter/Dan also peripherally.
Date Written: 2009
Summary: A young Walter gets stranded in New Orleans in the late 1860's. Every bizarre sequence of events has a beginning.
Rating/Warnings: R for violence.
Notes: First, there was a Zombie AU. Then, there was [livejournal.com profile] daylilymoon 's western AU, Stars. Then daylilymoon wrote a zombie/western mashup, Still. Then we decided to talk one day about where the hell western!verse zombie!Walter came from. And this was the result. So this is... zombiecowboy!verse? I guess? Walter's 17, this is two years before Still. CO-WRITTEN WITH [livejournal.com profile] daylilymoon. <3 <3

It is a humid, lazy, beautiful melody the city sings under a fat strawberry moon, and if there are devils in the dark then they at least know how to sing too. )

etherati: (WM - Misc - adrian & bubs)
Fandom: Watchmen
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Ficlets. #1 was for the prompt "Write Rorschach eating something other than beans", #2 and #3 are Captcha fics. #1 and #2 are Dan and Ror, #3 is Adrian.
Rating/Warnings: PG. Nothing particularly offensive. Zombie!schach in #2, feline-on-human violence(of the ultimately adorable sort) in #3. #3 is also terminally silly and ridiculous, but whatever heh.

#1 - WAFFLE TIME - Prompt: "Rorschach eating something other than beans."
'Superior product in every way, Daniel.' )

#2 - Prompt: 'Red sniff'
Nite Owl puts a hand to his cowled forehead; he has never felt so exasperated in his life. )

#3 - Prompt: 'Airlines kitties'
He only ever attempts to travel with Bubastis once. )

etherati: (WM - Z - cats/lizards)
Title: Of Cats and Lizards
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Dan/Rorschach
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Many creatures chase warmth; not many have it brought to them. Z!Rorschach, basking in the sun.
Rating/Warnings: PG. Slash.
Notes: Zombie!verse, post-Lilacs. Fluff. Seriously, complete and utter fluff.
ART NOTE: Art here by [livejournal.com profile] liodain (obviously! :D :D) NOT ME.

Dan is not prepared to think about the practical implications of the undead drooling on his carpet. )


etherati: (WM - R - Face in corner)
Fandom: Watchmen
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Ficlets. The first 4 are really small microfics, a self-issued Captcha challenge of 'I can relate anything to zombies', and are therefore all zombie!verse. The 5th is an AU of the zombie!verse(I AU'ed my own AU, I know, I know), also a Captcha fic, not posted elsewhere. The 6th is just a bonus bit of non-Zombie, non-angsty, slashy fluff.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 for language. Language in #2, politics in #3, imminent character death in #5(but it's only AU, so it's okay D:), Dan/Ror slash and teeth-rotting sweetness in #6.

#1 - Prompt:
'doves 44c'
It's hot. )

#2 - Prompt: 'quarter stickups'
He may as well be robbing quarters from gumball machines. )

#3 Prompt: 'overrule 1,630,000'
It's a ridiculous euphemism, but it's not like the word 'zombie' was ever going to show up in a city council bill. )

#4 Prompt: 'learned appetites'
He doesn't like heavy food. )

#5 Prompt: 'serum 11-'
They're holding him down, threading fresh leather bindings over his arms, his wrists, his ankles – around his throat. )

#6 'Uncomplicated' - Prompt: This Picture
[Because after that last one, I needed to cheer myself up. D:]
These are things for ordinary people. )


etherati: (WM - Z - ch 10)
Okay, so - podficcing? This is a brilliant and wonderful thing, and something I had no idea existed. It's like an audiobook, only with fanfiction instead of actual published books.

SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ZOMBIES YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT THIS:

(
This is not a cut.) - Mp3 version
(This is also not a cut.) - M4b iTunes Audiobook version, with coverart by [livejournal.com profile] liodain 

Because [livejournal.com profile] aceles has recorded an audio version of Now, as Before(itunes audiobook file compiled by [livejournal.com profile] cybel ) and it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I am floored by how good a job this is, especially given how badly my disjointed 'random aside' writing style is suited to readings. Aceles did a thoroughly fantastic job at this and I have been floating in the clouds ever since - evidenced by the fact that I only thought to share this today. Not much was getting through, yesterday. XD

So: GO. DOWNLOAD. TELL ACELES HOW BRILLIANT SHE IS.



etherati: (WM - R - hurm)
Fandom: Watchmen
Date Written: 2009
Summary: Ficlets. 2 written to various randomly generated two-word captcha prompts, the last is just random.
Rating/Warnings: R if you consider panicked repetition of the word 'fuck' to constitute an R rating, PG-13 otherwise. Implied slash in the first one, language in the second one, crack-premise in the third one. All Dan/Ror oriented.
Extra Note: The illustrations here are once again NOT MINE. Gifts from anonymous, who is all kinds of awesome.

Prompt:
'oil trestle'
One foot falls silently and mechanically after the other, the exact span of ties set into the old railway bridge worked easily and instinctually into Rorschach's cadence. )

Prompt: 'conning 20' (Zombie!AU)
The growl materializes almost of its own volition, singsongy, rising and falling and thoroughly unhinged. )

Prompt: AU-mashup - Canon collides with Zombie!AU through the use of applied phlebotinum.
Bad enough Jon managed to screw up like this, but to land us in the middle of a late night horror movie... )
