It had been a while since Harry had spoken to anyone. He wasn't in a talking mood. It cost him enough to get to his feet every day, and show up at the club. In London he wouldn't have. He would have locked himself in the house, with pills and Napoleon brandy, and he would have been dead to the world. His firm kept the businesses going without a ( Read more... )

Harry Starks meets Rorschach in the very innocent way many people on the Island meet; coincidentally, while walking down a path near the Compound. However, these aren't normal men and a fight seems inevitable.

Harry doesn't take well to Rorschach’s mask and loses it, starting a fight with no end until intervention arrives.

Badly beaten, after the ( Read more... )

It was getting late, but Logan didn't look as if he was planning on leaving the compound any time soon. After all, one of the perks of moving in with Jack was the short walk home. One of many, many perks ( Read more... )

The reactions to May's theme night had been mixed, but fortunately, most of the staff were willing to get into the spirit of the occasion once the night rolled around. Saffron had found a hideous dress in the clothes box - or rather, a dress in a hideous style but with a perfect fabric - and she'd taken it to Prior, who had turned it into something ( Read more... )

The Stardust. Harry’s club. Harry’s secret love. His connection to the legitimate side of life. A product of the fifties. Gangsters and stars having their pictures taken together. Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine, Patti Page, Johnnie Ray, Georgia Gibbs and Elvis bloody Presley. Doo Wop and swing. Brunettes and peroxide. Pop art and Frisbee’s. Korea and ( Read more... )

The truth of the matter is so simple. Daisy's pretty much about to turn out like a cat in heat at this point because as much as she doesn't need any man and she's really sick of memories of shotguns and infidelity and wife-choosing, she does occasionally need to let her steam off in a way that doesn't involve booze, smoking, and bashing in windows ( Read more... )

It had been almost a week since the body had appeared, but life on the island had gone back to normal fairly quickly. In fact, everything had passed by so smoothly, it was almost as if it had never happened... Though just because he wasn't staring at the inside of a cell didn't mean Logan was okay. Something had changed that morning on the beach, ( Read more... )

The fight with Neil had left Logan feeling many things, but strangely enough anger wasn't one of them. Funny, because not that long ago a fight like that would have left him seething, or staring down the barrel of his own gun. Whichever ( Read more... )

Saffron still couldn't hardly believe how long it had taken Jack and her to realize they'd shown up on the island on the exact same day. It was almost as hard to believe they'd been there three years. Saffron hadn't been in the world that long since she was a teenager. She'd changed, she knew, and reluctantly for the most part, and even though she ( Read more... )
