god was an only child

I'd just like to say that I'm like a fucking machine right now.  apparently excessive posting happens when I'm trapped at home for the better part of the day (every day, for weeks and weeks and weeks...).

anyway, this time around I present you with Watchmen fic.  with specific regards to young!Hollis Mason and all the myriad ways that I believe him to be secretly tortured and repressed.

so...uh. enjoy?  mayhaps I'll get around to posting this over at watchdom at some point.


Title: A Brief History of Who I Love (part 1/??)
Description: speculation on the relationships and histories of the Minutemen, as told through the eyes of a one (silently suffering) Hollis Mason.
Warnings: N/A (unless a few f-bombs really disturb you)
Notes: the story employs a blending of GN!canon and movie!canon (specifically with regards to the Jon-gets-framed-as-murderer-of-millions plot point) and the general Minutemen timeline is bastardized and ignored several times over.

the title is shamelessly stolen borrowed from a literary work far greater than this one.

finally, a million thanks to smirnoffmule , who beta-ed this nonsense and put up with the constant voicing of all my  concerns in the meantime. I probably wouldn't have written this at all without the support.



( Hollis Mason Arises from the Ashes )

and they're things for luckinfovely no less! because I keep my promises...sort of?

anyway, this is total drabble. I promised a scene, but this is more like a segment than a scene. or something. I've also apparently attempted to make sure it makes as little sense as possible. I don't think I even tried to reach for linearity or hint at any sort of context.

I'll just be off drowning myself in a toilet.

( onward to the writings! )
