Music-themed ficlet time!

Because I have often found the best way to get inspiration for something is to get an obligation to write something entirely different, and I have a challenge fic due on the 25th of April and no clue how to start ( Read more... )

Laurie -- 872

35 turned out to be "I Hope You Dance", so, uh, don't think I can pull it off. Sorry. XD

Sandra Hollis is happy.

Laurie never knew Jon Osterman. She'd always told herself there wasn't a difference - told him there wasn't a difference, and for her, there wasn't. Sometimes things were that simple. Laurie lived in the concrete world, and lived in one moment at a time, and her world had never included Jon Osterman - only Dr. Manhattan, who she called Jon, who was no stranger to her than her own mother, Silk Spectre. When Laurie was ten she heard all about it on the news. The Superman exists, and he's American. Well, why shouldn't he be ( ... )

Laurie didn't have friends, growing up. Even her mother wasn't quite on her wavelength. Of the two of them Jon had the more normal childhood by far, which is a source of considerable amusement to Laurie once she realizes it. But they're neither of them normal now. The world looks at both of them and isn't sure whether to fawn or fear, and if Laurie is more human, still her association with Jon is enough to cover her in his refelected blue glow. She's seen it. The military men look at both of them sideways and wary. Laurie diesn't give a shit, though ( ... )

Heh! Entirely understandable, I feel. ;)

Seriously though, this is awesome. It's so understated, and I love Laurie freaking out the guards with sick jokes and kind of... trying to be human on Jon's behalf. Ouch.
