[Watchmen] Five things that never happened to Janey Slater

[gisho]

Because Janey needs more fic. I've been working on this one for a while. Actually had about twelve different scenarios I was toying with, but these are the ones that worked out. Also includes sginficatn amounts of Dr. Manhattan, Jon Osterman, Laurie Juspeczyk, and (weirdly enough) Adrian Veidt. And Wally Weaver

Yay Janey love! I think number 3 was my favorite, I love imagining the two of them roaming the universe together and generally being awesome. They were all great, though, and I really liked how you showed Janey as the smart, savvy woman she is. :)

Oh man, this was awesome! I love Janey, and her relationship with Jon, and getting to see all these little glimpses at the lives she could've led was great.

Jon is a little annoyed they went for the Rutherford model, but not so annoyed he isn't touched

*laughs* Aw, physics humor. I bet they did it just to screw with him. I loved that.

I think 2 is my favorite, though. Something about Janey and Wally being best buddies more than anything makes me happy, and that little tie-in to canon with Adrian's toast was great.

These are all so, so good, and...ouch:

The problem was that they had been equals, partners, and then suddenly he was a superhuman and a strategic asset and he could just see all the things they had spent so long trying to discover, and she was - an accessory.

I wish #4 had really happened. She and Adrian really ought to have been friends :(

I also like the never-before-considered idea of Jon/Janey/Wally OT3 now.

wow, I loved these <3 I really enjoy alternate universes, and exploring the what coulda happened, and each of these is fascinating and could merit a much longer story. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading them

This is just great. She's not a character it normally occurs to me to think about, but this shows just how much possibility there is there. I especially love #4 and #1.
