cw: heavy emphasis on violence / neutral allusion to sex (not nsfw or suggestive) / angst / gender neutral reader (one mention of “ladies” that could be interpreted as reader being female but is generic)
simon riley is miserable and you’re incredible and he fucks it up beyond repair.
Tumblr media
you’re gutted out of sleep with a cold thwack to the head. soaring down from the sky, your cries of terror reverberate the plain white walls of simon’s bedroom. eyes wide and irises dancing around, you shudder and gasp when you see the pitch black barrel of a gun thrusted right between your eyes.
you whimper, each muscle tensing in shock. you freeze. you look up at him. he looks at you in a awake and aware terror.
his lurching and pained gasps for air usually woke you before his alarm even went off. terrors replaying themself through his shut eyes, each scar is reopened: each loss, ear shattering boom from overhead missiles sending his stomach plummeting. he’d see johnny, he’d see you out on the field smiling and waving. he’d run towards you, forcing his heavy feet to fucking move. he’s raise his firearm and squeeze the trigger, aiming for the man standing behind you to your left. you’d never see him, can’t hear the gunfire. and he’d only end up punching bullets into you, flecks of bone and guts splattering against the dirt.
you’d pet him, smooth his hair back as he breathed nice and slow. he hated being coddled, being treated with so much softness and pity. he hated feeling small and weak, fragile and seen. he’d feel a hand gently wrap around his neck, thumb firmly rubbing his jawline. he’d feel an encouraging pat on his shoulder blade. “c’mon, get up”, you’d whisper. his alarm would go off, you’d push yourself over him to turn it off on your own. he’d sigh and crane his neck to let you press your lips against his. he’d lay still, still twisting his torso behind. he’s unable to reciprocate the touch, but the look he’d always give, of gratitude and disbelief, never failed to look just as sincere as the last. before he’d leave, stumbling out to jog, you’d be pressed into the bed by firm hands on your cheeks; his reciprocal kiss always comes delayed.
he must have felt a small bump on his back, a little knock of your forehead between taught muscles. he jolted awake, heart pounding in his chest. flickers of you, of the man laughing behind the remains of your decimated body flashing clear behind opened eyes. he doesn’t even realize he’s got his hand around his gun until he hears you scream.
“no, no, no, no, simon, no-“
he had insisted it stays on safety, stays in the nightstand- just in case. he does his best to keep himself hidden, safe, but they could always find him. someone could’ve placed a tracker on the transportation van. they could have followed him into the streets and trailed him into his home. they could’ve found his shitbox brownstone second floor flat, and planted a bomb in his shower pipe, or underneath his bed. they could take you away, and they could knock him out cold.
he promises he knows better, he knows that it’ll always be just you. tender and soft, you touch him like he’ll crumple like aluminum sheets if you press your fingers in too hard. he can never help the burning shame while he jogs. he’s the soldier, the mercenary- you’re smart and wise and more adept at knowing than he’ll ever be. it’s his duty to serve, to protect, to keep things clean. he finds it hard to believe you’re just as dirty as he is- he reminds himself of his own internal vows, to protect, to keep serve. anything, anything at all you wanted- he considers it done.
when he’d come back from his jogs, he’d see your head resting comfortably in your arms. you’d be hunched over the island, and he’d remembered that it’s not so bad. the coffee you make each day is always just right, bitter and black.
routine cannot always stay sedentary. there will always come a disturbance, a mistake, an unexpected change. sometimes he’d sleeps through the night, and when the alarm goes off you’d stay asleep on his arm. he’d watch you breathe, lips parted and lashes low. he always wondered if you knew what he does when you’re out cold.
routine should not look like this. his vow has been broken, his fear realized. perhaps his dream was a prophecy; one day, he will shoot you, and you will die. it will happen in an instance, no time to think, no time to stop himself. it’ll be done before it starts. he will carry it for the rest of his sad, miserable life.
a hole gets hollowed in the wall as he swings the gun out of his grip. a hand raises and braces his forehead as his teeth grit together. he can feel the nerves of the bone aching as he shakes and curses himself. coldness fills his body, his heart pulsing bigger than his ribs can bear. he wishes he could rip his ears out, horrified sobbing shanking him with each passing second. the alarm rings. he smashes it to bits.
when he opens his eyes, you’ve moved to the edge of the bed. that fondness is gone in your eyes, no watery glaze of adoration and respect. yet no tears have dampened your cheeks, you’re ready to run if he reaches out towards you.
he can’t find the words, and when he does they come our as insecure croaks. he raises a hand up slow, fingers outstretched, like he’ll push his luck anyways.
“no, i- fuck-“ he stutters out, “i’m not gonna hurt you, i swear, i’m not gonna hurt you.”
you shake your head.
“i’m not- don’t leave. i didn’t mean to, it was an accident-“. he’s left frozen as he watches you climb out of bed, finding steady footing as you throw on a shirt. he watches you exit the bedroom and let the door swing shut on its squeaky hinges.
what is he supposed to do now? is he the same as his father? this was never covered in training, none of his teammates had any ladies to provide insight on what to do. his body moves for him, his legs swinging off the mattress as he marches out after you. the doorknob bangs into the wall as he cries out for you to wait, to stop, that he’s sorry.
your shoes are slipped on, phone, wallet and keys in hand as you fumble with the deadbolt. you stare at him in terror. you aren’t smiling and waving. you’re not holding a scorching cup of coffee in your hands. you’re running away from him. you’re finally leaving him.
fraternizing was strictly forbidden amongst coworkers. even if you both worked a standard 9-5, the rules would’ve been the same. he knows he shouldn’t have taken the risk. his nerves are alight with despair. he feels that hot, black sludge boiling in the deepest parts of his soul. in his bones, in his heart. these last seven months have been nothing but a dream, a delight he never thought would appear at his front door. nothing good can last forever. good riddance, you’re surely thinking. he supposes he can just stick to work related comms. no more late night secret chats on the radio.
he accepts his fate now, staring at you stare at him. he doesn’t know what he looks like, the face he’s making isn’t his to know.
“simon, don’t do this to me,” your voice shakes, “you… you gotta get your shit together”.
and whatever face he was making falls, and he feels his brows tightening up as he stands up straight. it burns in his gut, he squeezes his fists.
“anything, anything for you”. he couldn’t care less about how desperate he sounds.
you nod, and your hand reaches down to rest on the doorknob. “i love you”.
he hangs his head in shame, his head throbbing dully between his eyes. choked bouts of air escape his quivering lips. he can’t find it in him to say it back.
he hears the door click shut, and when he looks up, minutes later, you’ve left. no umbrella or jacket. ‘you’ll get cold’, he thinks, ‘you’ll get drenched’.
the volume of his voice startles him as he swears. he storms back into his room and collects your walkie, your work phone, your toothbrush, your slacks and your belt. he grabs your deodorant, razor, and collects your crusted, soiled underwear alongside the box of condoms on the floor. your sandals, your coffee mug, a magnet on the fridge. a switchblade, a phone charger, tupperware with your name. a camera, hand cream, a parka, bobby pins. conditioner, laundry beads, a photograph on the wall. he collects all these items and organizes them in a shoebox. he slips it under his bed, and pulls down the duvet. he picks up the gun, and turns the safety off, he rotates the piece in his hand, inspecting the shine. he counts out six bullets, flicks the safety back on. he sits on his bed, and slips the gun to whence it came. he pulls on his jeans. he pulls on a shirt. he pulls his hair in a cap. he puts on his socks and places his feet in his shoes.
he sits at the island. he waits for the pot of coffee to brew. he slips out the door. he knew that’d it’d happen, he’s deluded and frayed. if by some grace of god he ever gets to stand with you again, he vows he’ll reciprocate what he couldn’t to your face. delayed, as always.
the rain can’t cool the burning shame that racks at his body as he buries the thought, of being held in your arms. that he’s forgiven, he’s comforted. that he’s seen.
Tumblr media

4 REASONS FOR FACADE RESTORATION & MAINTENANCE
Facade restoration plays a central role in your external building maintenance construction. Professional facade repair and cleaning can remove built-up damage and protect against future problems. Read our top four reasons why you should prioritize brownstone facade restoration.
Jump To Section:
#1: Facade restoration increases property value #2: Help fix weather-induced damage #3: Prevents costly future repairs #4: Identifies important facade priorities Your building facade plays a central role in the aesthetic value of your property. An up-to-date, well-maintained exterior makes a strong first impression that bolsters your reputation and attracts profitable tenants and customers.
By including proactive brownstone facade restoration in your building maintenance construction, you can preserve these benefits while lowering the cost of facade repairs over the long term. Keep reading to find out more about our four top reasons why you should consider facade restoration in Brooklyn, NY.
Tumblr media
1. CUSTOM PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE BOOSTS FACADE VALUE
Preventive maintenance for your facade involves decisions about the appropriate cleaning methods and products to use. Because every facility is unique, maintenance should be customized based on a number of factors such as building size and materials, geographic location, and types of property damage to be addressed.
TYPES OF PREVENTATIVE FACADE MAINTENANCE SERVICE IN BROOKLYN, NY Metal restoration brings back the color and luster of assets including anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and copper, and adds a layer of protection against future damage.
Window frames become facade restoration or develop an unsightly chalky appearance. When addressed early, proper maintenance techniques restore the proper color and sheen. High-performance paints can update the appearance of window frames or conceal permanent damage.
Professional glass restoration corrects etching, hard water damage, oxidation, and other problems that cannot be addressed by cleaning alone. Window glass is vulnerable to hard water and moisture buildup, ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, and precipitation. It also takes abuse during manufacturing, distribution, and construction.
Brownstone facade restoration contractor includes cleaning and sealing to protect against future damage. Other stone maintenance services include power washing, vandalism or graffiti removal, and removing efflorescence from brick surfaces.
2. FACADE DAMAGE BUILDS UP OVER TIME
One of the reasons why facade restoration contractor is all too easy to neglect is that most of the damage accumulates slowly, over months or even years, rather than from a single, dramatic event.
Tumblr media
Characteristics of the building, including age, construction materials, and texture Volume and type of traffic patterns The local climate, including hot or cold temperatures, high winds, and precipitation Salt and organic deposits in coastal regions like Brooklyn and New York City Soiling and pollutants build up over time and may include acid rain, industrial emissions, or environmental oxidation
3. NEGLECTING MAINTENANCE NOW EQUALS MORE COSTLY REPAIRS LATER
Extensive deterioration hurts the value of your property and can become a safety hazard. It’s also more difficult and more expensive to fix the longer you wait.
Soiling from dust, dirt, and other debris doesn’t just degrade the appearance of your building. It also conceals structural defects like deterioration, corrosion, fractures, and cracks, so they’re more likely to remain undetected. Harmful water penetration can weaken the structure, increasing the risk of mishaps including falling debris or even facade failure. You may also be held liable for injuries caused by accidents in which neglected damage was a factor.
4. FACADE INSPECTIONS TELL YOU WHAT TO PRIORITIZE
Regular inspections by a trusted service provider are the first step toward making facade restoration in Brooklyn a routine part of doing business instead of something you put off until later.
Look for surface damage such as warping, cracking, loose screws, building settlement or shifting, and water leaks. Check all building openings which could be a source of water leakage, such as doors, windows, and vents. Identify structural damage that could cause leaks or moisture build-up, including cracks, disappearing sealants, and pollutants. Inspect for damage to roof elements including copings and flashings, as well as debris clogging gutters, downspouts, and drains. Keep detailed records of all inspection findings along with the results of prior maintenance and repair activity.

here. have a Chunk of a danror thing I was doing because im stumped on writing dialogue for the second half. started just typing this in my notes when I was sick.
its about the comfort of a bacon egg and cheese sandwich but I didn’t even GET to the bacon egg and cheese sandwich part. so it’s also about post keene, like maybe a year after, Ror and Dan lol. I’m not good at writing so be nice to me. enjoy
Patrol drove into later hours than anticipated. Certain gangs needed handling. Certain people needed apprehending. Rorschach’s lost track of time more often than he wants to admit. Time isn’t that important to him anymore, and who wouldn’t put off the time that came to tear off his face and put on a disguise for the day? But, the nite hours give Rorschach the blanket of protection he needs to operate and exact the justice this city so desperately needs. The daylight seems to frighten a specific type of evil back into whatever holes they crawled out of for the evening. But Rorschach will soon be vulnerable to the curiosity from crowds of 9 to 5’ers making their morning commute. He needs to get away from prying eyes. Normally he’d take to the sewers, climb down the nearest manhole, but, the gash on his leg needs serious tending. Unfortunately, he can’t risk getting an infection, not when the responsibility of protecting New York has now fallen solely on Rorschach’s shoulders. Not a single costumed hero is left to care for this dying community. His kind is, in fact, a dying breed.
Canal Street, where his apartment is, too far. The alley he normally leaves his things, too exposed. Time was short as the sun lazily climbed up into the sky, soon it would be a spotlight all on Rorschach. He’s in Bryant Park now. Which means the brownstone is only a few streets away and Daniel isn’t normally awake yet. Rorschach can go down to the basement, fix himself up, and eat a bowl of cereal before Daniel would ever notice. Smart idea. He’ll be safe there. The vigilante begins his trek, limping slightly but he distracts himself from the pain he feels in his calf by digging his fingers into his palm.
************
Daniel and Rorschach have not spoken to each other since the night after the Keene Act was passed. When Daniel decided to quit. Maybe it was better that way. No words needed to be shared anymore. What would even be said? Some poor attempt at reminiscing about the good old days? Good old days that Daniel chose to end? Or maybe it would be some long lecture about how Rorschach should hang up the mask. “There’s still a chance to get out.” A lecture that would sound more like a desperate plea. Ridiculous.
Through their lack of conversation, raised an unspoken agreement. It’s an uncomfortable thought to Rorschach, to know someone is thinking of him. That Daniel still has his concerns and wants Rorschach to be safe. That he cares.
When Rorschach sneaks in through the kitchen window (He’ll save Daniel the humiliation of breaking his lock again. Ha ha.) and makes his way down to the Owl Nest, he finds just some of the terms of their agreements. Replenished first aid with plenty to spare, just begging Rorschach to take them with him. The cot, back by the super computers, with fresh sheets. Always fresh. Rorschach has rested his head there more than a few times.
And Rorschach knows when he goes upstairs to eat, he’ll find the surplus of canned foods he knows Daniel did not buy for himself. The leftovers in the fridge that are tucked in the fridge, in kitschy owl casserole dishes. The cherries that Daniel does not like eating. The sugary cereal. The occasional cola. Any and all of the foods in the Rorschach diet.
Rorschach initially thought this was a method for Daniel to catch Rorschach and sit him down for a long lecture, that all this stepping out of the way had an ulterior motive, it was bait. But, he’s heard a handful of times when Daniel was awake and about upstairs and he never came down the Owl Nest steps. He never hustled into the kitchen when Rorschach was there, scarfing down cold, canned soup. Rorschach would come here and take care of himself, with food, medical supplies, and rest that Daniel provided and will always provide. Daniel respected their silent agreement and Rorschach’s space. Perhaps, Daniel, too, didn’t know how they could hold a conversation. Maybe he felt conversation was worthless but still felt the need to provide his ex partner some kind of reparation for leaving. Maybe Rorschach scared him now. All avenues made sense.
He wishes Daniel would see him. No he didn’t. Yes he did. No he didn’t.
*******
Rorschach grabbed the first aid kit, took his place on the cot, rolled up his torn pant leg (will have to repair later) and went to work. In a skirmish with one too many Knot Tops, one of the few that remained standing managed to knock Rorschach down and dig into his calf with a knife. The perpetrator didn’t succeed in incapacitating Rorschach, to say the very least.
Rorschach bit his lip to hold back a hiss as he cleaned the injury with antiseptic. Such an outward expression of pain is a weakness (it’s human) and Rorschach isn’t weak (or human).
It frustrated Rorschach to no end that he had Walter’s limitations. He couldn’t just brush off an injury, ignore the hunger pains, stave off sleeping, at least not for so long. He always pushes his body to its absolute limits. But, avoidance to these Human needs (Walter’s needs) would lead to burn out, poor performance and he can’t allow that.
So, Rorschach properly cleans and stitches the cut, with a nice tight stitching. He sits back on the cot, letting the pain dully throb in his leg while he stares out at the Nest.
A layer of dust covered everything except Rorschach’s small corner. Archie was covered in a large tarp. A whole world was down here, locked away, covered up and left to rot. Rorschach could replay dozens of memories in this space, in every little corner. The back of the workshop where Daniel broke his arm in the exo armor. The workbench, where they sat and shared colas, strategizing for their takedown of King of Skin. By Nite Owl’s locker where Daniel found a rat chewing at his uniform and Rorschach chased it down the tunnel. Beside Archie, after taking down the Big Figure, celebrating a little too closely of each other. On the steps where Nite Owl revealed himself to be Daniel Dreiberg and opened the door to share his private life with Rorschach.
How was it so easy for Daniel to close out this part of his identity? Easy, maybe, considering Daniel had the privilege to turn away. He had another life. Rorschach did not.
Best to not harp on the past, he thinks. Rorschach permits himself a pause. Lets the thoughts stop racing, a period to sit in the silence, and rest his eyes.
The quiet is cut short by the sound of footsteps upstairs. Daniel’s awake early. Why? He’s never been an early riser. Rorschach walked over to the stairs, listened close to the footsteps. Sounds like he’s still on the second floor. Rorschach could take his chances, grabbing some canned food and run back down to the tunnel. No. Not a smart move. Will be caught. The footsteps are down in the kitchen now. Something is placed down on the table. Cabinets are being opened. The fridge. It’s time to leave.
But he doesn’t want to. Yes, he does. No, he doesn’t.
Maybe the pain and exhaustion loosened Rorschach’s restraint, could be the excuse he tells himself later. Body betraying his usual code, Rorschach walks up the steps and opens the door.
*****
“Rorschach?”
