"Now we navel-gaze and have asinine conversations," said Rorschach. "Would prefer it if you just punched me."
LOVE that line immensely. Loving your fic, and impressed with the IC writings of Dan and especially Rorschach. Hard to do. I wish I could articulate some better comment, but really it boils down to, your a fantastic writer and I'm enjoying this story. Please keep it up!

Thank you! Glad you like it.

Awesome chapter, as always! I love the pacing and the interactions between Dan and Rorschach. Is that anecdote that Adrian told true? *shiver*

scarlet_carsons December 5 2009, 21:10:55 UTC

Thanks! Yeah, it's true. :D (According to Roger Fisher, anyway. Because I'm cynical, I wouldn't be surprised if Fisher had embellished it a bit. Google Books has the source article online. *is a nerd*)

For some reason my eyes glossed over the chapter title, and I'm glad I did, because I had a perfect "oh sh--" reaction when Laurie appeared. Can't wait for the next chapter!

I couldn't resist the crappy pun.

Thanks. I've been itching for a while to throw Laurie at them. :3

Just when I thought this story couldn't get any more perfect, you nuke Nixon. :)

I can't wait to find out what Laurie needs to talk to Adrian about.

Thanks. >:) While writing, I felt like the little old lady in Mars Attacks. 'They blew up Congress! Hahaha!'

Your fic makes me think mad_bertha December 6 2009, 02:27:23 UTC

I think you're capturing the distrust that's settled over their friendship over a very long time very well. I need to go back and reread from the beginning as I've forgotten some of the details. Trying to figure out where this au left off from canon. There was the tenement rescue, don't remember if mention was made of the prison rescue, and the description of Dan's reaction to Rorschach's unmasking indicates the police capture didn't happen (?). If this is the case, it's even more motivation for Rorschach's continued harshness of assessment of Dan (even if there may be some truth in it).

Laurie being vague is scary. What happening, gal?

As usual, your updates make me happy, I can't help but down everything else when I see a new one from you :)

(Edited because I can't spell.)

'I think you're capturing the distrust that's settled over their friendship over a very long time very well.'

That's good to know, thanks. :) One of the reasons why I wrote this fic originally was because I wanted to explore their relationship (warts and all) developing over a period of time.

'Trying to figure out where this au left off from canon.'Heh, yeah, I think I've shot myself in the foot by being so cryptic about that, so here's a quick rundown ( ... )

Re: For want of a squid. mad_bertha December 6 2009, 15:43:17 UTC

It probably could have been worked out, just that I've been reading this spaced out and really ought to go back to the beginning again. But I'm glad you posted that synopsis. For want of a squid, Rorschach suspects that the tenement fire rescue was just a one-off, Dan just feels pity for him, Dan, the quitter. That's over-simplifying it: it means they're a long way from that second handshake.

You know I'm stalking this fic XD
