That is *wonderful* to hear, you have no idea -- I knew, before writing, that I loved reading about these two together. But then *writing* them together became this whole entire ORDEAL-type thing. I'm so glad I managed to drag some sense out of it. :D
While reading I found myself trying to say "this is my favorite" until I realized that, like the story, the characters aren't complete in just one part.
I am so very partial to Bruce in Black Box, though. Because he is so very repressed and longing for things to be relevant.
Oh, thank you, sweetness! That means an enormous amount, coming from you.
I realized that, like the story, the characters aren't complete in just one part. Oy, man. OY. I had a hell of a time trying to balance the sections as self-contained yet highly permeable units; I'm so relieved it worked.
I am so very partial to Bruce in Black Box, though. Me, too. ME, TOO. He was so scarily young back then, haunting the East End in his ridiculous Army jacket, and -- I had a ball with letting him be terribly, *obviously* fucked up.
I love you beyond the scope of my present consciousness.
This is due in no small part to the fact that my present consciousness is stuck on "Jeannette," do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars.
The last time I saw that as someone's drag name, it was in a story I wrote involving atrocities known as 1830's European women's clothing and the term petit frère.
My heart is at your feet.
I owe you ever so much more detailed love than that, but I am at present incapable of rendering it sensible.
"Jeannette" I tried "Georgette", I really did, but... Somehow, according to my weird brain, all MTF genderfucks in Gotham need to be some variation on "Janet", so.
And I so need to pick up the source of your old fandom, just so I can read *that*.
Thank you so much for reading this early and not slapping me silly. I adore you *enormously*.
I'm glad you wrote this because now I can see Batman and Catwoman in the same space without feeling bad about the world.
I think my favorite bit was the Red Son one, even though I haven't read the comics relating to it. The sadness at things that should be good that aren't actually working seems very appropriate to Catwoman herself.
The sadness at things that should be good that aren't actually working seems very appropriate to Catwoman herself. Mmm, I like that phrasing. There's a line from her sister in...Her Sister's Keeper, actually, asking Selina why she has to FIGHT all the time. And it occurs to me that there are *thousands* of reasons for her fight.
