Why this must be read:
This story has got action and fighting and stalking through sewers and explosions and pancakes and sex and cartoonish criminal henchmen. It's exciting!
The premise is that Laurie and Rorschach end up tracking the same pack of baddies, and team up to take them out. Beyond those basics, all the action and plotting are marvelously well done, the settings are immersive and deliciously grimy, and the interaction between the two primaries is fun, funny, sexy, and sweet. The story also has a great, game-changing secret, which recontextualizes all that interaction midway through.
One more feature I particularly have to mention is this fic's rendition of Laurie's voice. If you've only seen the Watchmen movie, you should know that it utterly gutted Laurie's character and that in canon, she's an actual character rather than Generic Hot Love Interest #48713. We get the story from her perspective, and it's a very entertaining perspective.
