My Only Friend is Imaginary by bane-6 (PG)
My last rec for the crackvan before I pass the keys to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tortoisegirl! I've enjoyed driving the van and sharing some personal and fandom favourites. As I said near the start, I have tended to rec Dan/Ror fics but there's really much more to the fandom and people are generally open to different ships. One thing I regret is not including some of the great 63! fic: something about Watchmen makes it particularly amenable to this sort of play.
Fandom: WATCHMEN
Pairing: Nite Owl II and Rorschach with a slight hint of slash
Length: 22k
Author on LJ:bane_6
Author Website: In-Progress | Badriddance on ffnet
Why this must be read:
Many writers have explored the Walter/Rorschach split identity--but none quite like this: instead of just a mask, Walter Kovacs makes a full body doll out of the fabric which takes on a life of its own and becomes Rorschach.bane_6 is exceptionally good at suspense and action--her stories take hold and pull the reader along and does this with great characterisation and pacing. This story is no exception, the complex relationship between Walter and Rorschach is well-developed and I especially like how it suggests that the two are not as distinct as they appear:

The question made Rorschach falter as being impaled on a sword hadn't. He made a sound, fidgeting, then lifted his arm to look at the slash for a moment. It had nearly taken the arm off, he realized, slicing him from chest to armpit. He took the edges in his other hand, holding it closed. Walter could fix it, sew him up good as new, fix the coat, and all the clothes underneath, but Nite Owl might never trust him again. That upset Rorschach more than he thought it would. All this time, he had thought it was Walter hero-worshiping the man in the owl suit, but the thought of Nite Owl cringing from him, thinking he was unnatural, not being his partner any more made a coldness open up under his shifting skin.
