The Sun Rises on Nite Owl by septicemic (PG)

Fandom: WATCHMEN
Pairing: gen, Dan/Laurie mentioned
Length: 2200 words

Why this must be read:

(Warning: contains major spoilers.)

Twenty years after the events of Watchmen wrap up, Dan Dreiberg goes public with his secret identity and grants an interview to a reporter.

This is a wonderful look at Dan, a bittersweet mix of nostalgia for the early days, and the grim reality of later events, which even now cannot be fully discussed. It's also a lovely tribute to Rorschach, bringing forth his best qualities without being overly sentimental.
