it's different now that I'm poor and aging

I have been listening to too much Interpol lately. Also, my grasp on punctuation (not to mention propriety) seems to have abandoned me entirely. Guh.

we have lingered in the chambers of the sea

I do believe you might have just written the ne plus ultra of Dan/Rorschach fic.

This? Is amazing.

Umm, wow, thanks. That is...incredibly high praise, and sadly undeserved (there's some really fantastic stuff out there) but I'm very pleased you enjoyed this.

I think I may love you more than is strictly necessary. ♥

Where to start? It's tragic, and hot, and so IC I have no problems declaring this cannon, and just- words fail me.

...Rorschach's smell, the smell of the underworld, and something about that seems - not right, nothing about this is right - but appropriate.
Don't know why, but that bit especially. Oh, Daniel.

We can never have too much fandom love floating around. ♥

I'm unbelievably happy this seemed in character to you; this was my first stab at these amazing characters, and characterisation is something I'm always paranoid about anyway, and I was terrified of screwing it up completely (I suppose I didn't make it easy for myself, trying to shoehorn Rorschach and Dan having sex between two canon scenes). So yes, really glad it came out okay. And I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Rorschach's stench is a potent aphrodisiac for Dan, Y/N?

This fic is going to be in my mind on every reread of the GN from here on out. Gorgeous.

Thanks so much. Glad you liked.

My heart broke at the 'senza tema d'infamia' bit. Seriously. My face is going to be stuck like :( for the rest of the night. Fanfic doesn't do that to me very often.

Doomed, pre-apocalyptic sex is the best sex.

Aww, thanks, I'm really pleased you enjoyed this (and secretly thrilled that it could get to someone - is that bad?).

Doomed, pre-apocalyptic sex is the best sex.

It really is. And the only kind of sex I ever seem to write for some reason (well, the "doomed" part at least).

Ohhhh, brava, brava, bravissima. The tension and the language made this poetic without losing any of its immediacy. I like this A LOT.

Thank you, I'm so pleased you enjoyed. In re: language, I have an obsession with phrasing that leads me to write and rewrite sentences ad nauseum (and means it takes me forever to finish anything). Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't; I was a bit on the fence about this particular piece, so I'm glad it turned out all right.
