Watchmen Kink Meme 2: Electric Boogaloo. Or not.
Alright, alright, I'm back now. Here ya go kids. (You're just lucky the other one didn't run out in the middle of my vacation grumble grumble)
Rules of the meme:
1. Anonymously 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 ( Read more... )
Where Danielle meets Walter somehow and is intrigued by him, & of course who does she obssess to but her trusty (though irritable) partner, Rorschach? Would love to see Danielle picking apart all the tiny details and fantasizing in the way people do when they first start off a relationship with someone they like more than they should; Rorschach being desperately uncomfortable and digusted-flattered, maybe even some self-sabotage; and how Rory/Walter reacts to Danielle's rants about things that annoy her about Walter.
PLEASE ANON.

Danielle Dreiberg didn’t read the same stories as other young girls as a child, more intrigued by the exploits of Sir Galahad than in waiting to see if a handsome prince might come along to awaken Sleeping Beauty, so perhaps she could be forgiven for forgetting the cardinal rules of fairy tales. Be kind to ugly strangers; there is no greater power than a kiss and nothing, nothing is ever as it appears.
He’s hideous. Danielle thinks, eying the freckled man currently measuring her waistline, flicking the tape with the ease of long practice. The freckles, the hair. Even with that shade it looks like a shag carpet. Pug nose, maybe broken once or twice.
Aloud she says, “Can it be finished by next week?”
The man grunts in what she assumes is assent, leaning over to make some notes.
Great, sparkling personality as well. She struggles to be polite, “I hope it’s not too ( ... )

In retrospect, she probably should have waited until after he was finished pinning before asking.
Brushing off his mumbled apologies, she catches his hand, ignoring the sting of metal in her arm and tries to meet his eyes again.
“Walter, will you?”
He’s desperately trying to reclaim his hand, “Not proper, Ms. Dreiberg,”
“I’m not a customer after today. How about coffee?”
“Ms. Dreiberg“Please, Walter, look at me ( ... )

“Walter-” she begins, but he interrupts, uncharacteristically energetic.
“One moment, Danielle,” he says, “Have something important to say,”
He reaches for his pocket and produces a small box. Her stomach drops out beneath her.
I’m an idiot if I didn’t see this coming.“During this time we’ve spent together, I have come to care for you very much, Danielle,” Walter says, stumbling slightly as though the words are in a foreign language, “would be honored if you would be willing to enter into marital contract ( ... )

Spindle, Shuttle and Needle: Epilogue
Life isn’t like fairy tales.
Her kiss doesn’t change Rorschach into a handsome prince. He still breaks the lock on her door with annoying frequency and behaves for the most part like the bastard child of a conspiracy theorist and a Puritan minister. But then there are the things that make it all worth it.
The moment Walter screws up the courage to ask again.
The line of Rorschach’s back against her own, a solid anchor in a storm of conflict.
The look on Walter’s face when she tells him she’s going to have a baby.
The feel of Rorschach’s hand in hers at the end of a patrol.
With an ending like this, Danielle thinks, who needs happily-ever-after?
