Oh, this is great, I love how Ivy is incapable or turning Harley away because she truly cares, but in the end she thinks about herself and lets herself be selfish, putting much needed distance between the two of them. And Selina being the voice of reason is absolutely perfect :)

I'm very happy you like it ^^ It's the first time I wrote Ivy like this, so I'm glad it worked :)
Thank you so much for the comment! :D

Ooh, I adore that ending. Also, it's so like Cats to want stuff from Ivy all while being practical on the relationship advice. Oh, but Ivy. It hurts to think what she may be going through.

[killing_kurare]

Yeah, I really like their "friendship"-dynamic in a way. They help each other out so often, but still make it clear that this is for their own benefit. In a way xD So I'm happy I managed to capture that ^^

And of course I'll do that! And I think I'll also edit this one xD
Thanks for pointing out, and I'm very happy you liked it ^^

[crookedspoon]

So much easier on the eyes *_* thank you!

Yeah, I also love that they help each other out but remain fiercely independent, especially Selina. It's always hard to see her really connect with anyone xD

So, I don't normally read any DC Universe fic, but you've made me want to read more into it.

Your version of Catwoman and Ivy seem well in character to me, and you captured their friendship and the relationship between the Joker and Hayley so very well! :D It's a wonderful piece that is beautifully written.

I may stalk your tags to find more. . . :D

[killing_kurare]

Wow, now that's a compliment :D

And I'm very happy you liked my Catwoman, for I've written her as a main character the first time ^^' so yay *-*

"I may stalk your tags to find more. . . :D"
Whee, you're more than welcome <3 Though my other DCU fics are Harley/Ivy centered :D

But anyway, thank you so so much for this great comment, it really made my day :3

:D

I do like her. You have captured her so well I never would have guessed that this was your first time writing her as the main character.

:D Harley is a complex character, and your Ivy here interests me. I know very little about her you see. I'm sure I'll grow to love her.

:D Aww, bless you! ♥ I do like to comment on everything I read, just to let the writer know I'm here and I'm reading. As a writer it's often difficult to know if anyone's out there reading and enjoying your work, and it can be disheartening. And karma! ♥
But I'm so pleased that it made your day! :D

Oh, this was wonderfully sad and well written. I really felt for what Ivy was going through, but also Harley in the background. Very poignant, the idea of Ivy needing to lose herself in the Brazilian forest to stay away from someone who is hurting her, but she still loves.

I also love the friendship displayed between Ivy and Catwoman. And kudos for coming up with a plant guard. Thanks for another awesome contribution to puzzle prompts!
