 princessebee 2008-07-26 . chapter 1Lots of lovely, demented, twisted and sweet (in a sick way) elements to this story that paint a lovely picture of the perverse domesticity Joker and Harley enjoy together. Also very humorous, which is an element I always enjoy in your work since I am so dedicated to OMGDRAMA! I love reading lighter JxH stories that still capture the full essence of their complicated relationship and this is one of them. I like the subtle theme of this story - Harley gradually becoming more integrated into Joker's life, to the point he's sharing more and more with her.
If I have one consistent complaint with your work, it's that Joker's treatment of Harley is too consistent. He's pretty much always rough and rude and cruel even when they're having a good time, wheras canon shows he swings violently from cruelty to fawning, impatience to indulgence. For future work I'd really enjoy seeing more of that schizophrenic behaviour. You made the point in One Good Day, and I'd love to see you actually write some of it.
I also love that she had the fish done. So cute! She just knows how to make him happy. And I like how Joker's thought train is so inconsistent and all over the place and easily distracted. Makes me giggle! |
