This is really cute. You really captured Gordon well in your story.

Great job!

[quakewithfear]

Thank you! Gordon has always been one of my favorites and I feel like the guy doesn't get enough attention, so I really wanted to write something just about him.

Awww! That's lovely ^^ Poor Gordon. You know you're pushing yourself too hard when even the Batman thinks so...

[quakewithfear]

That's so true! I think Gordon is one of the few people whom Bruce truly admires, so he gets worried when Gordon pushes himself too far. Gordon's only human after all too.

Thank you for the comment! ^_^

Gordon is such a depressing character, I think. :( It's amazing.
Great story.

[quakewithfear]

He IS depressing isn't he? But it's what makes him such a rich, varied character, I think.

Thanks for reading!

very nice
I liked your characterization of Jim

[quakewithfear]

Thank you very much! I enjoy writing him.

I can imagine Gordon going back into work when he can't sleep, like he has to be doing something useful.

And Batman's admiration comes through here too. Good stuff!

[quakewithfear]

Gordon strikes me as the type who can't deal with being idle very long. I think he starts feeling guilty.

Thank you! I really tried to work a sense of mutual admiration in here, but I was worried about how successful I was. You made me feel better about it!
