Inevitable Watchmen Fic List
Mar. 16th, 2009 12:10 amAs with most “new” fandoms, Watchmen has been spawning fic left and right, much of it…not so good. The exceptions:
For those seekin’ da sex: "Life or its reverse", brief Dan/Laurie/Rorschach OT3, after-canon A/U, here (http://theonlytwin.livejournal.com/7768.html#cutid1), plus a similarly A/U long, satisfying Dan/Rorschach (or, as the kids called it, “owlblot”) series—“Ordinary World”, “Exiles”, “Empire”—which can be found here (http://i-am-your-spy.livejournal.com/2610.html). Also well worth your time: “Alphabet”, Adrian Veidt gen (http://seriousfic.livejournal.com/216877.html#cutid1) and “Nobody Gets Out”, Rorschach gen (http://sharpest-rose.livejournal.com/1024586.html#cutid1). Neither really “has” to be AU, though the second definitely is in canon; kudos to Mary, champion of girls in refrigerators everywhere, for this slightly more joyful reimagining of the source text.
And finally—so, yeah, there’s this thing called “Girl!schach” going around…but this is the only person who’s gotten it right, so far, IMNSHO: “My Body is a Cage” (http://conceptofzero.livejournal.com/6368.html). Ah, Wanda Kovacs—not a comfortable person to be around, let alone to be, in any incarnation.
Amended to add: theonlytwin has updated with "Five Times They Had to Hide", here (http://community.livejournal.com/watchdom/182661.html#cutid1). Still lovin' it.
