Wonderful...simply wonderful!

I enjoyed this (everyone has seen the Joker laugh, but only Harley has seen him cry)

Well-written, not to mention a great look at that side of their relationship. I always like stories where Harley conciously considers her relationship with the Joker and how she stands in his mind. Thanks for this one!

Great job. You created vivid, real characters. Everything was realistic and tragic and entertaining. Really a fascinating read.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

This is . . . phenomenal. Really, really PHENOMENAL. Dare I even go so far as to use the word sensational? Yeah, I think so. This story deserves that much.

What you have here, well, it is just sheer brilliance at its best. I loved every moment of this. I couldn’t stop reading. You had me hooked after the first paragraph. How do you do it?

I have never in my life read a Joker and Harley fic like this before. And when I say that, I mean that solely in regard to their characterization. Never before have I ever felt the Joker's and Harley’s characterization been so spot on. It’s absolutely unbelievable what you’ve created here.

I found the scene where the Joker buries his head in Harley’s stomach and just sobs there to be so incredibly evocative and emotionally powerful. I always have pictured the Joker as being strong and pretty much just . . . emotionless when it came to tears and sorrow, but now that I think about it, and after reading this, the Joker absolutely MUST feel those emotions. He is, after all, human. In essence, I guess I’m not really sure what to think about it. To be sure, I loved that scene, like I said; it was absolutely powerful and just very raw. I felt as if the Joker had been stripped bare of his authoritative and “nothing can break me” façade. You know what I mean? I think that makes sense . . . .

You are one heck of a talented writer, did I mention that yet? I am immensely impressed. I want you to know that I could most definitely rattle on and point out thing after thing that I loved about this, but I’ll stop here, for your sake. I’m kind of running out of colorful adjectives to use anyways. You can only use words such as “Amazing, stunning, brilliant, wonderful, absolutely awesome, fantastic, mind-blowing, magnificent, superb, and terrific” so many times. :) Of course, all those words DO apply for this story. But you know that.

In short . . . I love this.

Please, don’t stop writing.

Sincerely,

Freaking brilliant. It's amazing how much inspiration you can draw from a single frame. Your prose is exquisite, lush and crackling and raw. Fits them absolutely.

Good God, they are evil, evil, horrible people. But I love them so much!

thanks for giving the character that never spoke throughout the graphic novel a voice.

very cute, in a weird way...

wow very pwerful and descriptive. i loved it!

This was amazing. I've been waiting for someone to do an Azarello piece, and this definitely was worth it.

I just had to let you know, your writing had beautiful flow. It was a true pleasure to read.

Why don't you gift us with another, OR better yet, a story?

I HATED that comic but you gave it much more meaning for me. This story was very well-written and beautiful in a strange, twisted way. Excellent job.

This was a lovely insight into the characters in this book.

I found the silent communication between these two said so much that words couldn't.
But this is just my own personal opinion - I also got the sense that Harley had been there for awhile (how else did he know about what 'Monty' had been up to while he was 'away'?) and she loved him enough to bare her breasts in a ruse to ensnare a disloyal mob boss.
Well done, though!

I really very much enjoyed this. Writing is crystal-clear and very good and I really relish the perspective and insight you brought to that GN continuity. It's easy to align with it, easy to believe, it feels right.

I like how you filled out that scene as well, and so clearly illuminate the role she plays, the simple statement she makes to bring him back into himself and how she plays the role almost of enabler here too. A sick and codependent relationship in many ways, I found it to be. I also found the Joker of that GN to be... almost pitiful in his desperation and imbalance and insecurity and I think that comes through very well here too.

And I'm intrigued by the ultimate theme of this work as I wrote a one-shot on this scene as well (Piety - though I really quite dislike it and feel disatisfied with it) which ultimately ended up on that same note of mutual possession, that greedy, selfish obsession and continuous exchange of need and desire. I felt that was beautifully clear in the GN and this fic shows it off powerfully.

I LOVED this. This is the first story I've seen that really explores Azzarello's Joker, whom I find absolutely fascinating. Especially his relationship with Harley. The scene you based this off of was my favorite, naturally, because so much can be said for it, even with how brief it was. I love how you extended it beyond what Johnny Johnny saw. Awesome job!

I'm not particularly fond of the Azarello take on Joker and Harley's characters, but despite that, I really enjoyed your fic. Your writing style is very good, it has depth to it, and it's different from a lot of other stuff. I probably liked this more than I did the graphic novel. XD

I like your take on the characters and I thought your insight in Harley's thoughts fit her very well. Your Joker was really scary too. =] Awesome stuff.
