Watchmen: Genesis On by Findmyantidrug (G)
Title: Genesis On
Author: findmyantidrug
Fandom: Watchmen
Characters/Pairings: Jon, Rorschach
Length: 914
Warnings: Character death
Spoilers: End of graphic novel / movie
Why this must be read/seen: findmyantidrug has authored some great Watchmen fic. Genesis On is different from her usual fare, which is more shippy, but this deserves to be read for its wonderful and creepy characterization of Dr. Manhattan and what he does after the events of the graphic novel. For Rorschach fans, our favorite red-headed vigilante also makes an unexpected re-appearance.
Jon has never created life before. He decides to begin with a plant, although he already knows exactly how his first attempt at creating life will end.
First, he creates a seed. Because that is how he begins, and because humans will come next. A human. A man.
He knows the name of the man he will create, and he knows that the soil of this planet will not sustain a seed if it is not changed. The first life of this new planet dies before leaving the womb that holds it, and Jon thinks of Laurie, of her insistence to bear no life of her own. There is no way for him to ever truly know, but he is sure that it was his influence that killed her maternal instincts.
