Music prompt ficlets!
Here's the second (third?) batch of music ficlets! It was interesting, writing different pairings and characters and trying to make them fit the songs.. I might try the challenge again later! Many, many thanks to mithen who helped me with the beta and with the actual sittind down to write process :)

"These drugs are better than I thought," Harvey said lowly, his voice thick with sleep. "It's been a while, stranger."
"It has, Harv. How's my favorite heartbreak doing?"
I liked this moment of reunion of them two.
"He was okay. But... you're an old fox, angel. It's been a long time since he could get you like that."
Very well said! "an old fox, angel" - that was nice.
He tried to tell himself that a handful of hours were better than no Harvey at all. "What did he think?" He hated asking about Two Face. He hated Two Face. He loved Harvey. He too was a man broken in two.
I loved to see how much Bruce wanted to help Harvey. And his understanding for him.
"You stopped coming. I could never believe that you were okay but had decided to stop." He tightened his hold on him. "You wouldn't stop."
That was perfect! And true! Bruce would never stop.
Bruce nodded, then leaned forward, his lips brushing Harvey's temple. "Not while there's hope." He straightened up and smiled at Harvey, resolute. "And there's always hope."
I’m glad Bruce doesn’t give up the hope.
Jigsaw falling into place - Booster/Oracle:
"Only when someone else is babysitting Gotham," Babs said, wheeling past him. "You?"
Nice answer. :)
She was strong, she was smart, she was funny -she was a Bat, a daughter of Gotham, she was dangerous, had he met anyone from that city that was not dangerous?- and she had a hand on his thigh, a cheshire grin on her lips.
That was a great description of Babs in this paragraph.
Much later, when he holds his son on his arms, red curls framing his face under the yellow knit hat, he will wonder what would had happened if he hadn't met her that night
I loved the ending!
A cat with a toy - Superman/Catwoman
What was it about Gotham's children that they would just not listen to him? "Selina. Please," he said softly.
Oh, poor Clark. But it was nice to see how much he tried to find out if Selina was okay.
"What, Spitcurl? What do you want?"
"Spitcurl"? - Oh my. :)
It was the right thing to do, to give a friend a hand, and Dick was a friend. So. Here he was. Uninvited. Uninterrupted. Always welcome.
I was glad to see Clark felt welcome to Gotham. But his next thought - "Always alone." That was heartbreaking!
"Don't try to play the innocent here. Do you think I don't see what you're doing? Patrolling Gotham, looking over the little birds. Coming to check on me. What's next on your agenda tonight, play chess with Harvey? Have coffee with Gordon?" She took three steps and the sway of her hips made the uncoiled whip dance in the shadows. She smiled at him, like she suddenly found him amusing. A cat with a toy. "Flirt with me?"
OMG! Selina was giving pretty hard time to Clark.
You're rather cute when you're flustered, Spitcurl. I like you off-balance. Much nicer than your 'Mr. Truth and Justice' thing. Though... I suppose that has its charm."
Nicely said! (I love cute Clark.) :)
"You're a good friend."
AWWW, she said it! I loved that!
That was so bittersweet. I liked Clark an Selina in this story. They were amazing together. And they both missed Bruce so much.
Unknowable - Edward Nygma:
In the act of playing he becomes creator, the absolute owner of the truth, the bearer of secrets. He becomes the enigma itself.
WOW, that was perfect!
This creature is a daughter of chaos, following her path without sense or direction, and yet... he refuses to accept this, he knows somewhere, in all the madness, there's a pattern, an answer.
I think it was a very good characterization of Harley.
He puts down her picture. The apartment is empty and cold, and he's bored -he should be bored, at least- and all that's left is trying to find the logic in his own actions, knowing full well that there is no logic to missing her, no logic to wanting her.
Oh, I was quite a sad for Eddie here.
That was all so wonderfully written! Well, a story with Clark is always my favorite. But I loved the other ones too. You wrote all characters in these stories excellently!
Thank you very much for sharing this. :)

I had fun with the Booster/Babs one, it's such a crack pairing.. but I kind of liked it! And I love writing Babs, she's so no-nonsense! she and Selina I love writing to death, both share that 'oh no you don't' vibe :D Selina and Clark were missing Bruce so much! I can't quite pair them together but I think they have an interesting dynamic.
And Eddie! He's so smart and writing him is always a challenge, trying to get a hold of him. I'm glad his ficlet worked! I love Eddie/Harley :D
Thank you so much for reading and the wonderful fb!! :D you rock!
