So...I stumbled upon this prompt from the first kinkmeme and I'm wondering if it ever got filled. Because I totally just wrote out a 75-chapter-long plot outline for it before thinking to check. XD

What if the Watchmen was just a game the kids played? How would the story be different and yet the same? How would it be changed to be suitable for coming out of a child's mind ( ... )

This is adorable and perfect and made of win. Except for one thing...

Where's baby Walter?? We need a runty, serious little redhead with more freckles than skin! (To be BFFs with wee!Dan!)

I love this fic, and I love the Minutemen being the growned-ups when they were kids. (Hey, wouldn't it be super-awesome if all the kids are sent to Eddie's house on a rainy day for baby-sittings, and when he finds out about their game, he decides to play along too? Then we could have "the Comedian" in the Crimebusters! Or they go to Uncle Nelson's house and "Capt. Metropolis" gives them missions to complete?)

THIS IS SO CUTE, I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND WANT TO FEED IT S'MORES.

Hehehe, you're reading my mind, anon. Or possibly my plot outline. *Glances back over shoulder*

Tiny Walter comin' right up in part 5! Wanted to get it done last night, but my brain was unamused and keps doing this in the direction of my bed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTwnB8f1WFM

Fic says OM NOM NOM S'MORES! :D

This is so adorable, I love it. I'm glad it's updating so fast, too! Can't wait to see where this goes.

Re: Growing Up Is Not An Absence Of Dreaming (4b/75) anonymous October 11 2009, 18:52:54 UTC

This is so fantastically marvelous, Anon - you've really captured the excitement of their game and the endless potential of an idea once it's handed off to a child.

*snuggles fic 'cos it's so damned adorable*

Sorry if the ending of this part is a little weak. I meant to make it longer but I'm seriously falling asleep over my keyboard right now. Bzuh. More tomorrow, after some sleeeep.By tacit agreement, they leave the game in the woods. Somehow it just doesn't seem right playing at school, though Dan can't help but eye the playground equipment. It only takes the application of a little imagination to see a miniature version of the city there, perfect for running around superheroing. Of course, it's it's also full of other kids, and already the little group is becoming rather possessive of their game. If everyone finds out, they'll either laugh, or, possibly worse, they'll want to play too, and then it won't be as special anymore ( ... )

The brutes glance at each other, then back at the kid in front of them. He doesn't look like much, and they could probably take him and the runt both on easily, but two on two is a little fairer than they usually like their odds, and there's always the chance of one slipping away and getting a teacher while they're occupied beating on the other. This new shrimp in particular has tattletale written all over him. They mull it over for a moment, then the smaller of the two shrugs. "We were just talkin'," he says. "C'mon, Larry, let's go." And they amble off, looking surly and shooting glares back over their shoulders ( ... )

Walter slides quietly into his seat at the back of the room, face burning. As if the confrontation with those two jerks and the ensuing conversation with Daniel weren't embarrassing enough, now the whole class is staring at him.

Mr. Long clears his throat and calls their attention back to the social studies lesson. Walter pulls out his book, flips it open to a page somewhere near where they're currently at, and stares down at it blankly. He's usually a fairly good student, but at the moment he can't focus on anything. Not anything having to do with school, anyway.

He keeps thinking about Daniel. Replaying their conversation and his offer of friendship in his head, wondering what it means. His first thought is that it could just be a trick. Lure weird, wimpy Walter out to the woods, leave him sitting there alone all afternoon -- or worse -- and then laugh about it the next day? But Daniel seemed so sincere, and he did help with those bullies -- not that he'd needed it. (He could have gotten away on his own, and if not, well, he ( ... )

FACE STUCK IN PERPETUAL 8D.

I can't even think straight. Thank yooou! Thank you!

Gah, sorry this part's so short. Reworking my chapters a bit, overall fic may end up being even longer than I thought. o.O Anyway, I'll try to get at least a bit more up later tonight, since I might not be around the next couple days. But I will be spending most of tomorrow in line to get a good spot for Bob Dylan, which = some quality writing time. :D

Dan introduces Walter to Jon, Laurie and Adrian as they walk. He's already told his friends about the boy joining them, adding, softly and a bit awkwardly, "Be nice to him, okay?" They'd been confused by that at first, but now they get it and they're looking at Dan a little like he's crazy. Walter is small and...odd-looking, to put it nicely. Judging by the state of his clothes (neat, but worn and ill-fitting), he's also poor. None of that really matters to them, though. He's just so quiet, not speaking unless one of them asks him a question, and then muttering answers in as few words as possible. There's the distinct sense that he doesn't want to be there which they quickly pick up on ( ... )

"We still need to decide on a name," Laurie says. "We're not a real team 'til we have a name."

"Yeah," Dan says, "Crimebusters is kinda..."

"Boring. Sorry, Adrian." He shrugs, having to admit it's true.

"We need something cool, like the Avengers or the X-Men or..."

"Watchmen," Walter says softly, looking down at the dirt, hands still in his pockets.

"Hey, that's good," Adrian says, "that's really good..."

"It's kinda sexist," Laurie says. "We're not all men. Well, boys."

"Yeah, but the X-Men have girls and no one minds that," Jon points out. Laurie thinks about it. Even she has to admit it's a good name. Finally she shrugs, still not completely convinced.

"We...can always be the Watchmen-and-women," Walter says, hesitantly, not feeling quite right about including himself in the 'we,' even if they do like his idea. When he finally glances up, though, Laurie is smiling brightly at him, and the rest of the boys look sort of torn between laughing and rolling their eyes, but they agree, and the team is official.

This is a constant sugar rush. I don't know how, but every single line manages to make me squeak. And Adrian and Bubastis! Ahha. Cherry on top!

Re: Growing Up Is Not An Absence Of Dreaming (6b/75) anonymous October 13 2009, 16:45:26 UTC

I can't stop thinking about this fic! It's absolutely adorable without being overbearing and I love the way you're characterizing everyone. Love that Walter makes his contribution and in that way becomes a part of them, and the awkward-sauce, and...everything. I really want to hug Adrian. So bad.

By the time summer comes they're all well settled into their superhero personas. Walter doesn't have a costume, but he does have a mask, the only one of them to wear one. He'd found the white ski mask in a trash can, and though his attempt to paint a face on it had only soaked blotchily into the fabric, he'd sort of liked it. Adrian has commented that it reminded him of a Rorschach test, and so he has a name as well. He wears the mask constantly and the others have to admire his dedication, even if they don't envy him the heavy fabric in the New York summer heat ( ... )

Walter takes a seat in the copilot's chair and they zoom around for awhile, laughing as they do loops and narrowly avoid buildings, before Daniel says, "Hey, it's Wednesday. Let's go to Eddie's." He gives the wheel an exaggerated turn and Walter hangs on to his seat as they take off in a new direction ( ... )

Meant to say in the last part: So much thanks to the anon who suggested Eddie owning a comic shop. It's going to help immensely with my Minutemen plot (which, oddly enough, is the one I'm having trouble -- the kids continue to write themselves).In two fifth-grade classrooms, five kids are staring at two clocks. It's five minutes before lunch, and the hands have slowed to a crawl. Daniel attempts to distract himself, doodling in his notebook, but none of his drawings are coming out right. His mind isn't really on his current batch of inventions (and it's certainly not on fractions, though his worksheet is done and dutifully double-checked). He's still thinking about the kidnapping case the end-of-recess bell had interrupted, itching to get out and finish the story ( ... )
