something to lose

Description

From the end of chapter 7 of Now, As Before, the only zombie/Watchmen fic I've found, and therefore the best! This is one of my favorite scenes from it where Dan has worn himself out nursing an infected Rorschach back to something like health, and doesn't appreciate him just throwing it away while he still has a pulse.

"Dan waits, holding the hand in place, chill seeping up through the thin fabric of the shirt, until he feels it: a single beat, lazy and struggling.
"There," he says, eyes just as fierce through his glasses as they've ever been through his goggles in the middle of a life-or-death battle. In a way, that might well be what this is. "You're alive. You have something to lose. Start acting like it."



This is drawn without any reference at all, so it's not as accurate as it could be, and I had a terrible time deciding on a light source. And I should've put some little framed owl print on the wall or something. The coolest thing about infected Rorschach is the eyes. At least, I thought so. It's a very cool fic.
