I LOVE IT! ADD MORE PLEASE!

I look forward to reading the sequel! I want to see them away together

Usually when a writer tries to make the characters emotional in any way they get too OOC and fluffy but you avoided that. Very nice.

I ALWAYS LOVE THAT ENDING JUST AWWWW!

"Joker isn't really surprised by this turn of events. They are two equal forces dedicated to unrelenting battle. Of course they are going to fuck each other."
LOL Probably the truest line I've ever read describing the Joker & Batman's relationship. Blunt, simple, and straight to the point.
God, your writing is so fucking sublime. I'm jealous; I wish I were even half this good. It's a short story, but the way it's written compensates above and beyond for it.
I've been reading your other stories, and I've noticed that you write the Joker very well. He's a hard character to write - I've seen other fanfic authors struggle - but you seem to have him pegged pretty well. "Seem to"? Psh, what am I saying? You DO. You write him profoundly well, from the little things that are barely noticeable to the big things that really matter.
Ooh! And I like that you said that the Joker was "disgusted" when he first saw Batman as Bruce Wayne. There are a lot of ways a writer can go when they're first introducing Joker to Bruce Wayne instead of Batman and taking the "disgusted" route is less taken than others, but I like it nonetheless. It's fitting. It's not my favorite, but I can totally understand it.
Jesus fucking Christ do I love this line... "Obsession is its own kind of hope. There is nothing as inspiring as a string of almosts-" That's hitting home right there. It's like you're speaking to my soul, dude. I'm an incredibly obsessive person (hah, couldn't ya tell?) and that line sums up so much for me. I just want to congratulate you as a writer for making such a strong connection to your readers (I doubt I'm the only one with this...trait) whilst also revving up the engine to this fic and bringing it to life by making it strangely relatable (when you have your readers relating to the Joker's feelings, you can pat yourself on the back; you've done something special).
There's something so perfectly...empty, about this story that makes it greatly realistic. That doesn't sound like a compliment, but it is. Really! It is.
When I read this, I really felt for Bruce and my heart really ached when Bruce confessed to killing four men because he'd lost Alfred to them. There's something so empty and void about Bruce confessing this, Bruce giving up Batman, and Joker not really reacting to it at all... I mean, before Bruce's confession, the Joker had reacted to Bruce giving up Batman by aptly throwing a fit, but when they're face-to-face and Bruce tells him what he did and all Joker has to say is "good" and then kiss him on the forehead and then later when Bruce says that he can't be Batman anymore and all Joker has to say is "Be who you want"... It's just so appropriately depressing. Saying "Be who you want" when Bruce has no idea who the hell he is after all that's happened to him is pretty depressing if you ask me, but that's not to say that I don't think it was the right thing to say. Bruce has lost everything and broken down and lost himself to his one and only rule and given himself away to the urges of his instincts, and now all he has left to cling to is this man who's done nothing but torment him, this man who has done everything from both literally to figuratively fucking him. It's just such terrible tragedy and woe that it almost does itself justice in an awfully ironic way.
Know what I mean? I know I went off into a tangent there, but I hope you know what I mean. If not, oh well. Just take my word for it that this story is great and you're great and you've made my night.

That last bit was heart-wrenchingly beautiful 3 Usually people can't write sappy stuff without it being lame or out of character but man do you hit the nail on the head!

Wow! I am axed at how this just seems so right. How they relate to each other. Fantastic. And the happy ending is awesome.

So so cute, love it xx

First, Batman would not let 13 orphans be blown to bits. Neither would Bruce. I didn't stay long enough to see what supposedly made Bruce quit, but nothing could be terrible enough to stop Bruce from saving some helpless kids. He would not abandon his city: Nolan showed us this. What else is there to believe in if not that?

Second, Joker does not hold back. Equally matched physically and mentally: this is what makes them such an ideal team.

kick ass story. loved this! i could definitely see bruce acting this way... and for joker being desperate to keep him that way. fantastic read. keep up the good work!

I fucking love their cat and mouse games! It's just the way they do things!

Especially, with this story, I love, love, love their cat and mouse games! It would be weird without them!

Bruce acting the way he is, I could so see him like that! Just like you said, he sees everything in black and white.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Joker always 'bottoms'. And he just took control, and he topped in the scene you wrote. I really liked that scene. Well, the little pervert in me liked that scene.

You should've seen me scrolling to click the next button, only to find there wasn't one. It was a great story though

Hmm...That was really good. I never thought of the Joker as being someone who would help Bruce, but in a way he did. I truely enjoyed it and hope to read more of your work in the furture. Thank you for the great read. Keep writing.

I really enjoyed this story.

I love it :)

Wow. This is just amazing. I love it.
