This series of yours simultaneously breaks my soul and warms my heart. I love the dual realizations that society has betrayed them -- that they no longer have access to MEDICAL CARE, of all things, and that nobody will act to help them. It hurts how quickly the city turned on them, because it echoes reality.

So well written, as usual.

Thank you so much! I always thought that was something that wasn't very well explored in the canon -- mostly because Rorschach's the only one in a position to have experienced it and it's not a concern he would have had, as far gone as he was at that point -- and I wanted to tie it into how insular and dependent on each other they've gotten in this au, because the loss of that community support would ramp that dependence up to eleven. And as much as Ror's in a better place in this au, he's still not the type to like depending on anyone OR the type to trust himself as the sole person another is depending on.
