i love you. you've ruined every harley/crane fic I have and will read. it's sexy and sad and captures nolanverse crane perfectly. I hope to the high heavens that your F&M universe is not dead. But if it is, I still commend you for being the only person to make me think that a world outside Joker/Harley is possible. I ADORE YOU. AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR LIFE.
I'm really sorry it took me so long to review this! When I saw the premise for this series of shots I was (and am!) beyond excited. Title and description really seem to nail the dynamic of this pairing perfectly-but anyway, 'Clinophobia'.
It's adorable how plainly smitten Jonathan is here, however reluctant he might be to admit it. The entire back-and-forth with Scarecrow was very funny, though my favorite bits there were the paragraph beginning "Any two people" and...
"Dwell on this later,the Scarecrow lectured. You're going to give yourself a migraine.
Fine, he agreed. But I'll have you know, you sound like her, saying
that.
Don't go there, Jonathan. Do not."
It made me snort.
And the entire nap with Harleen was very cute too. I'm having a tricky time full explaining the cute, so I'm going to be lazy and forgo analysis this time and just say I enjoyed it. And the closing line, of course, was also adorable.
Note wise, I can see what you mean on his aversion to eating-it's tough for me to imagine him sitting down to a proper meal, except possibly dinner if he's in the mood. I can see him grabbing something quick on the way to work though, but exactly what that something is remains somewhat dubious.
Oh my. I’ve never seen Scarecrow act like the responsible one before. Although consulting a dictionary to be sure where he stands with another person feels very much like the lovable Dr. Crane. I am amused.
