(Upload) Stockholm Syndrome, it didn't take

Jun 10, 2006 21:15

I'm in prompt four of my self challenge to write Bruce in all my possible/plausible slash pairings, this being Jason Blood. I don't have any idea of what to write, but as I was looking at the previous 3, (Superman, Harvey Dent and Oliver Queen) I just had to dismiss my entry for Harvey. It is not what I wanted for Harv, even if it is a fic I would ( Read more... )

harvey dent, two face, fic, slash, meh, batman

I thought this was terrific!

>>Bruce could have refused then, and could have refused all the times after that. He always gave in, though, to either the tender apologies of Harvey or to the sadistic demands of Two Face. He believed that maybe, now that he was close, he could reach him and bring him back. Maybe he could change him.

This is exactly the way I see Batman and Harvey every time I see or read something with the two of them in it. For a such short vignette, this story has a weight to it that emphasizes the complexity of their relationship. Kudos on a great read. You should write more of this.

heh, yeah, I see Harvey/Bruce as a constant indulgence on both parts. Two Face won't actually off him and Batman is always dally dancing around Harvey, not knowing what to do. You didn't think there was something off about the voice, then? I don't know why, it doesn't feel right to me..

Still, I'm glad you liked it :) It's good that I didn't dump it to the trash can then :P there's more of Harvey/Bruce coming, too, I love them *grin*. I'm also happy to read you think the vignette is strong enough to communicate the essence of their relationship, as the other entries are just this size, and I was worrying that some might be too vague. Thanks for the feedback!

I just watched an episode of Batman:tAS which focused on Two-Face and it underscored the fact that you really did get the Harvey/Bruce relationship "right" in this fic. I don't think anything was off at all.

More of this would be very nice...

Yeah, I think so too. The voice is off, it's actually my voice, not the characters, even if it's 3rd person POV, it's.. it doesn't really work. Silly thing. Thanks for the feedback, I'm still trying to figure this out :)
