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 just as well.
2. Anonymous will respond to your post and write it for you! Art and such is also acceptable/awesome. Multiple people may respond to

For the anon(s) that requested revolutionary!Rorschach back in the second KM. I'm still working on it, but thought I'd release the first bit for now. Had to Sinify their names... it won't be too hard to figure out who is who.
Warnings: historical inaccuracy, really strange subject matter (but this is the KM, so maybe it's not one of the weirder ones??), probably lots of political incorrectness. Be willing to suspend your disbelief more than usual... I still can't believe I wrote this.

But really, I'm a-ok with whatever you do. Angst followed by happiness *hinthint* is always better than the other way around.
Forgot to say this earlier, but GAH THE SHIRT REMOVING SCENE. Oh, the repression! The tension! Which all adds up to being really hot despite nothing actually happening.
And the way you wrote the dialogue without quotation marks - reminds me of how the French do it in the few French books I've read. It kind of makes the dialogue meld together with the narration, and all the mixing up really adds to the mood. If that makes any sense. *wishes to have your articulation skills*

Other things I love, y'know, beyond the entire thing: the way Deng's feelings for Red are tied into the politics, working in lines/idea directly from the GN, shirt removal nnrgg.

The shirt removal part was definitely really fun to write. I almost had them go... well... further along, but Chinese people circa the 1980s are still pretty repressed (in contrast with their Western/American counterparts). Not to mention Ror is repressed no matter what universe he's in.
the way Deng's feelings for Red are tied into the politicsI find the Dan/Ror relationship is always tied to politics one way or another--standing up in the face of gov't corruption, immorality, and other timeless sorts of political/social evils. But it's fun to play with the China concept, since the spirit of the times is so focused on symbolism and martyrs and grand gestures (that's just the way Chinese history seems to work), and Dan has always been susceptible to his environment, being a sort of natural empath and all ( ... )

This is my favorite paragraph here:
--Yes, yes, Deng says, exaltation more than an agreement and his own fingers are moving of their own will, twisting on each button, slowing his pace as he moves south. Red's stomach ripples under his touch, and he inches his face into the juncture of the other man's neck and shoulder, holds there, in as much as out, ghost-breaths belying the frantic shuddering of his own heart and the possibility of things.
It's so delicate, just like that whole scene.
The very ending part here is so moving, as if he feels now that this is going to take them both apart.

And CAN I SAY HOW EXCITED I AM to sink my teeth into your Western!AU? I've not been very diligent about scouring the old KMs for fic but I am so glad that you made a masterpost for it! xD xD
Okay, going to post the next part to this now...

the crowd-ocean that is inextricably tied to them
That's such a brilliant adaptation of Dan, how here it's Red and the spirit of protest stirring him out of his natural inertia, where in canon it was Rorschach and the adventure of being a mask, the person and the experience being conflated in both cases. This was a gorgeous first-time scene and my hope was absolutely realized: this IS one of the km's great AU epics.

Second-last sentence. And "breathing into each other". Ah god, I don't know why that gets me so much, but augh. This moment is just too perfect.
Have a cyber-glomp as proof of my adoration.
