My favourite bits are when the joker is sleeping or "dormant" (btw, i love how that word is applied here- i think it really suits it)and chelsea realises his "imaginary side"
I feel so sad for her, esp the ending chapter.. she did so much for him...but that's the joker right? Like what everyone else said, very realistic..

So sad, but it captured my heart. Thanks, it was a great read
:)

DANG. That was AWESOME. You got Joker perfectly in character, as scary as it was. You're writing is amazing, too, you definitely have your own style. I loved the last chapter, even though I knew something horrible was going to happen to Chelsea! Keep it up, you're incredible!

Beautiful ending. Please don't think that I'm insulting your writing ability, but I'm going to be completely honest and say that I don't think a sequel would have worked out that well for this story. I'm sure that you could write a wonderful one if you really wanted to, but for this Joker/OC, this epilogue is very realistic and I like it that way. For some writers it takes courage to kill of their OCs, and I respect that you wrote this different and unexpected ending, instead of keeping her alive. Quite frankly I was a little iffy about the Bruce/Joker/Chelsea love triangle (but I may be biased; I don't like triangles as a rule, lol), and I know that you've probably been trudging along trying to rewrite the sequels multiple times and dragging on this story. But I've been blabbering enough :P Love, love, love this story. I don't think there could have been a better ending. Thank you for writing this; I'm eagerly looking forward to your other stories :)

I followed this story almost from the very beginning, and I gotta say, I enjoyed it immensely. I gotta admit, I'm sad that you decided to end it this way. I know, I know, there was no way the Joker would give her a happy ending, so this ending fit the best, but... The Chelsea/Joker/Bruce triangle you started was really, really, I mean really, EPIC. I was loving it. Loving it to DEATH.

So, this is Zetsu-baby saying I weep for the love of this fic, but I hope you keep an open mind any time inspiration might strike to get that threesome going again. ;3

In my opinion, i liked chapter 18 as the ending chapter. Chapter 19 does offer a realistic feel and acts more of an ending though i favor the idea of allowing our minds to imagine what happened to Chelsea and the Joker.

The ending to this story was very realistic, realistic for the Joker especially. So often I feel authors have this whole Mary-Sue thing going on with the OC's but you've seemed to bypass that problem completely. I never got around to reading any of the other sequels you had with Chelsea Grant but I'm glad you decided to end this one here. I felt it was needed to keep it from turning into a Mary Sue fic or something along those lines.
I really enjoyed this story. Everything about it, the characterization, descriptions, dialogue and plot were seemlessly all perfect.
Kudos for creating one of my most favorited TDK stories on FFN, while keeping the Joker in character all the while.

yes i must agree with the two authors below.
this was a realistic ending to it. you really did captivate the aroma of what the Joker is all about, well, Heath's, mind you :] and they way an OC should be written how she didn't she didn't fall into scarring dementia with her fixation on Joker. in all, a very good character. Chelsea Grant was an actual human, not like other OC characters that i've seen on this site. amazing writing.
thank you for this, truly :]

love, kit.

As much as I was interested as to seeing what you had in store for the sequel, I think this ending is perfect.
It's very really realistic and bittersweet really.
Probably the only ending that would be fitting now that I think about it.

Great decision, you're quite an amazing author :)

I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the ending but I have to agree that it certainly is a very realistic one. We could see very clearly, even from the beginning of this story, that she was not going to live when she chose the Joker. To him, she's an entertaining toy that had its value for a while until he got bored and disposed of her. Chelsea Grant was one of my favourite OC's because she was *human*, and she didn't let Joker poison her mind even when she found herself falling in love with him. Still, the ending doesn't detract from the beauty of the story. It was really unique. It's got everything with the realistic Joker/OC pairing and the amazing characterizations. I really thought that some of the sequels that you started had been good and there had been some very interesting ideas there like the Bruce/Chelsea/Joker triangle idea. In short, I loved it and I hope you have some luck (not that you need it, you're a good writer) with the new stories that you're going to write.

Honestly...I like it. I read some of the reviews for this chapter to see how others responded. It might be my own bias since I like to end my own stories in what might seem unsatisfying ways.

However, some might feel more or less confused and upset because of the start-stop sequels. In my head, I just forwarded through the sequel and took the epilogue to mean you had skipped her other ordeals and cut to the ending. THe sequel, to me, might have still happened, but you simply didn't write it down for everyone. And I agree it is the most realistic end for her. And a beautiful end.

I like your writing style, so I'm excited--and intimidated--to see how you will improve it. Nonetheless, I look forward to your other pieces.

Thank you for writing this. :]

Well, I'll be perfectly honest with you, since I think you deserve honesty. I consider you a fairly good author, one of my favorites here on , so please do not consider my comments here as an insult to your writing ability. That ending made sort of feel like I was gypped. It can't really be helped, considering the several times you started a sequel. Some of the ideas you had for sequels seemed really, really cool and I suppose I'm a bit disappointed that you never went through with anything. Other than that, I don't have much to say. I can't give a truthful opinion on the final chapter. I respect your decision to end it that way, but I do feel a bit disappointed. Anyway, I'm glad that you finally gave closure, at the very least.

Wait... does this mean you won't be continuing the sequel?!

how could she hav died? wats going 2 happen 2 the sequel?! did u ever think of that?!

Marvelous job, dear. I hadn't expected that, actually. In fact, I forgot there was even more coming on this.

I think you did a good job wrapping it up, and I think it was really probably the only logical, in-character conclusion, even though it was sad. There really is no helping some people.

Your writing has obviously improved in this time span, so keep up the good work and good luck with your next piece. I'll have an eye out. :D

PAS

Ok I'm realy confused. I've been reading the sequel to this which I really enjoy, and then you're saying she's dead? What's going on?
