Because they're now available to me in a format I actually kind of like, and because anonymous trolls are awful:

Daniel is never going to admit it, but he prefers talking to Laurie - eating dinner with her, walking down the street with her, window shopping and playing the "what would I buy if I hadn't spent all my money on repairing Archie" game, bouncing an idea for modifications to his costume, or his gear off her and seeing what she thought -- to the sex.

He prefers fighting or saving people next to her, too.

Sex is... Only with adrenaline pumping through his veins is his need raw enough, intense enough to overcome the fact that her body, even muscled as it is, is soft where it should be hard, smells of women where it should smell of semen and musk, that even though he likes her, even maybe loves her, she's not what his body really wants.

Women aren't what his body really wants.

But right now, Archie is humming around them and they've only barely escaped the most recent fight with their lives, and Laurie is wearing nothing but her high-heeled black boots, writhing against him while he still has his mask on, and things are good.

And if he thinks of freckles dotting pale skin like ink blots when he kisses her shoulder, hears someone else's voice growling "Leave mask on," when she runs her hands over his cowl and breathes "Leave the goggles on. I want you to see me," sees blood spattered across snow and hears the sound of his own screaming when she climaxes with a choked-off little scream of her own, he's very careful never to tell her.

It feels too much like a betrayal, though he's not certain of whom.

Thanks! *grins* It was less awesome before I fixed it to replace "to who" with "to whom" *facepalsm for grammar mistake*

English isn't my first language. I just can't realize smaller grammar mistakes like that, so, no worries. XD

Also: I think you should post that over [livejournal.com profile] owlblot, if you don't already did, course. :D

That may be the cutest name for a ship comm ever. I think I shall have to eat my "Gah, Watchmen is like Ultimates for Charleston comics characters! Do not want!" words regarding the original graphic novel and go stalk it. *grins* I've recently (like, this week) discovered that lurking on the /pco/ and/or /coq/-based fandom for Watchmen heals the pain reading Alan Moore's original comic inflicted on me.

This is probably because I haven't looked at anything on ff.net yet. If the terrifying "the Joker just needs my Mary Sue to love him" fics spawned by the Dark Knight are anything to go by... I'm really kind of afraid to see what that same batch of authors makes of Rorschach (and Ozymandias).

You know, before I get into English!fandom I never knew FF.Net have such bad fame. D: For we, portuguese speakers, it's okay.

Anyway, I was lurking over there and I've found a few good things. You should take a look. I put my favorite ones in my favorite stories (http://www.fanfiction.net/~dananorram). :)

"looks scared" Yes, ff.net is really that bad. I found a couple decent fics, but it's mostly Mary Sues (or OC's that they claim aren't Mary Sues, but will still somehow make Rorschach like women).

P.S. Please write more Watchmen fic. "gives puppy dog eyes of doom"

I feel doubley cheated, then -- if they want to write Rorschach het, why don't they just go write me toonverse Question/Huntress fluff? There's never enough of that. (Plus, Vic likes girls and doesn't have a tractor-traler full of issues re sex).
