Rules of the meme:
1. Anonymously(or not, because we seem to have stopped following this rule) post a pairing and prompt you would like to see written. Since this is a kink meme, there is supposted to be a kink involved, but normal well-written prompts should work just as well.
2. Anonymous will respond to your post and write it for you! Art and such

"Hang on, hang on..." A minute later Daniel is propping him up and giving Walter a glass of water he drinks so fast a quarter of it pours down his chin. "Better?"
"Yes." He looks into those dark, honest eyes, and tries to see the person reflected there. Daniel just looks back as inscrutable as a real owl, then leans down. Close and then closer, until he's about as near as Mrs. Roche, lips almost brushing Walter's ear. "I didn't wanna find out who you really are like this, buddy, but I'm glad I know," he whispers, words and breath making Walter shudder for reasons he can't begin to name, all jumbled and tangled. Shame and remorse and something that could almost be lust, he doesn't know. Some anger too, a wounded animal's lashing out at a helping hand.
"Didn't want you to, either," he mutters, and Daniel leans back with his arm over his face and Walter doesn't know if he's laughing or crying.

My god, how many times have I saved Blaire? This might be number six or so. XD

There's something sorta nagging at me; how did Dan know about Walter and Rorschach? Did I miss something or did he just figure it out on his own after Rorschach didn't show up after Blaire was found? I'm going to read this again and squee

1 - Man with ludicrous personal courage (hereinafter MWLPC) fights a guy who outweighs him by sixty pounds of muscle to save little girl.
2 - MWLPC seems very heavy for his size, like he's all muscle. There's not an ounce wasted.
3 - MWLPC has some of Rorschach's scars, revealed by the hospital gown. Holy shit.

God I love how you took bits and asides and structural elements of the original fic and reframed them into this fantastic fixit. Like the mirroring of Walter's rescue of Blair and Dan's rescue of Walter: Walter kicking in the front door, Dan kicking in the back. And the fuckery with time as Dan's adrenaline surges. Pain vs. numbness. Sleeping and waking.
Also this:
Walter blinks blood-tacky lashes, not really here or there but just barely hearing a voice that isn't Grice's. It's familiar, so familiar, and it's saying...
"YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH!"
Made me cheer like I have not cheered since Molly Weasley took down Bellatrix Lestrange.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I was kind of afraid of fucking up "What Cats Know" instead of making a good fixit, so I'm thrilled you like it. I wanted to keep the recursion going, so you use canon lines in your fic, and then I use yours in mine like some kind of fiction conga line.
I actually had an idea for a sequel to WCK, but it would depend on Walter not bleeding out, which I have to assume he did, what with no tourniquets.
