Why this must be read:
It's absolutely beautiful; gorgeous imagery, evocative descriptions, great use of themes and recurring images. In all this there's still a subtlety to it that builds into some very powerful moments. It’s not very slashy, but it’s one of my favorite portrayals of Dan/Rorschach.

"Hey there, buddy."

He's the first one to say anything. Rorschach just keeps looking at him through the hazy suggestion of dawn, eyes dark and unreadable, something like a smile on his mouth. The air slides around them, pepper-sharp and Dan thinks he has tears in his eyes. Both of them do, maybe.

Rorschach turns around and heads for the foyer. Dan realizes that they're going outside, that they had planned to go outside since the start. He grabs his coat off the rack and joins Rorschach.
