Yay! for a protective Ivy! Ah Harley.... Even though you annoy me, I can't help but feel sad for you... *huggles Ivy* And I know you do your best to protect her without impeding on her decisions... *sigh*

XP I love Joker, even if he really is absolutely the bad guy! Great lil fic, thanks for sharing!

I feel like Ivy cares for her friend, but just gets so darn frustrated with her at the same time. Harley is definitely a character that can be cute and funny or pathetic when you think about how screwed up she really is.

Joker is a really great character to work with because he's surprisingly versatile.

Glad this worked for you, thanks for reading and commenting!

"He’d see. At least until he was blinded." - love that line! And the reporter's pain at delivered some amazing cliched lines on the chaos at Arkham. And Joker 'n' Harley having a Robin footstool in Harley's happy imagination. I generally just love all of it!

The Joker, Harley and Ivy love-hate triangle is a marvelous thing.

The reporter isn't really part of the story obviously, but I just couldn't help but put it in! It kind of helps explain what Harley and Ivy did.

I like envisioning a Joker and Harley run world with the Bats not Jokerized or dead, so Harley has to take the lead on tha tone!

The Joker, Harley and Ivy love-hate triangle is a marvelous thing.

It really is fun to play with. For the prompt, I knew I wanted to use the girls, and then Joker wormed his way into the story. For all Joker and Ivy are different, they do have their goofy Harley in common.

Glad you liked it, thanks for reading and commenting!
