Summary: November, 1966; Hell's Kitchen. Nite Owl meets Death, but not as he might have expected.

It's been a slow night, and cold, and windy, but at least it isn't raining for once. Sometimes that's the best you can hope for, Dan thinks as he crouches, motionless, atop a roof and watches as two men enter the alley below. They're nervous, twitchy, and both keep checking over their shoulders, but like most people, they don't think to look up. He's waiting to act until whomever the thugs are meeting show up too - no point in collaring only half of the deal - and then he blinks behind the goggles that hide his eyes. He feels like he isn't alone, but he's just scanned the rooftop not thirty seconds ago to find it empty and silent.

Tomorrow
tornadorex and I pack our apartment into banana and beer boxes and Friday we transport our apartment to our new and awesome apartment. (Encouraging texts are encouraging.) Internets at New Awesome Apartment won't be hooked up until Monday, and given the track record of most internet installations, possibly won't work until Monday night or Tuesday. Or later. Ugh.
So, take a few days off and please don't do anything too ridiculously awesome this weekend, Internet. I'll be back in awhile.

Well, one pretty man. (Hi Bastian!) I can't actually stop looking at this for more than about five minutes at a time.
...this could be a problem.

Title: The Rise and Fall
Pairing: Adrian Veidt/David Bowie
Rating: PG for implied drug use, excessive glitter
Summary: October thirty-first is next week; Adrian has something different planned.
Author's note: Drabble/shortfic written for the crackmeme (that is such a good idea, you guys) and since I un-anoned over there, I thought I'd put it here as well.

I'll be out of town for two weeks. Much of it will be spent writing Versus (yay!) so online time may be sporadic. Texting is welcome, of course. Thank you for your attention.
Far more importantly, however, is the fact that it is July 20th, and we have two events to celebrate today.

Yay! 6 more drabbles, mostly Versus this time, since I'm trying to get back into that mindset. Glimpses of more minor Versus characters. 2 Watchmen at the beginning.
All under one cut, because I felt like it.

I wrote more of them. They're like wind sprints, only more fun. There will be more in a day or so.
I did one prompt twice, because Elisha was extremely unhappy with me for the first version andhe's scary I decided to be nice.

Ask any of my muses as many questions as you want (but please try to keep it within a reasonable number of questions). This can be anything from their favorite food to their thoughts on yaoi, or anything you can think of. You can also ask me any questions related to them.
Note: I'm only listing my currently-speaking muses, because I think it might depress me to discover just how many muses I have really allowed to take up residence around the fire. If you happen to know of another, or want the more complete list, feel free to ask.
ETA: Questions from muses are also welcome.

Don't worry; we are going to finish it. We swear on Adrian's morally-ambiguous purple glitter.
In the meantime, we've started a comm for our VeidtOwl fic at (I can't believe this wasn't already taken)
You guys are the best. Thank you. ♥

Author's note: Adrian and Dan come back to New York and discover that while they've been enjoying ideas of the future, someone else has been uprooting things from the past. And putting them on magazine covers.
Author's note 2: This isn't the last chapter, but I'm done with the XX/?? format. It'll be over when it's over and I doubt we'll have a chapter number before then.
