( He can't get close enough to see anything but the shape, black-on-black and insubstantial. )

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. )

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. )

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. )

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... )
