This is lovely (as odd as that might sound!). I agree, it would've been great to have a scene like this in the movie - especially that last verbal exchange between Crane and the Joker.

Oh, I was dying for even a bit of interaction between the two. Glad you liked!

Very nice! And yes, I as well wanted the Joker and Crane to meet in that movie.I love how you described the highs of the fear toxin and what the Joker saw too.Very real.

Thank you so much!

This was awesome. I could practically see the Joker through the effects of the fear toxin, eyes huge and empty, mouth unhinged...You gave me the shivers, dude. Wicked.

[puregasoline]

Woot! Thank you!

I really loved the description of the Joker seen under the influence of fear toxin. It gave me shivers!

It would've been nice for Crane and Joker to meet but ah well, at least we have fanfic!

[puregasoline]

I'm glad you liked it!

The description of the hallucination was fantastic, particularly the comment about the eyes. Followed by a "meeting of the minds" with Crane and Joker? That man would be a case study that could make a career. Honestly though, creepy as Crane can be, I don't think he'd win.

Thanks for noticing the description of the eyes! It's one of the first things that came to me when I got the idea for this fic.
