Ficlet: Guises.

[noelia_g]

Title: Guises.
Characters/pairing: Bruce, Gordon, Harvey, Bruce/Harvey if you're so inclined.
Words: 200
Spoilers: I hope you've seen the movie.
Notes: As novin_ha demanded requested, Bruce/Harvey snippet. There probably will be more, later.



He doesn't tell Gordon, and hopes that the man doesn't notice the faint pulse. It's one of the many secrets he keeps from the closest thing the Batman has to a friend (Bruce Wayne has friends and acquaintances, but he hadn't really been Bruce Wayne for a while now). Gordon doesn't need another secret to carry after all, the weight of the existing ones is going to slow him down enough. Convenient, that, considering he'll be the one heading the pursuit.

Bringing someone back from the edge of death isn't easy, and isn't cheap, but Batman knows which doctors in the city can be bought, and Bruce Wayne has money to buy both the services and the silence. Bruce Wayne can also bring Harvey Dent to his apartment for the time of reconvalescence, something Batman could never do. Bruce was Rachel's childhood friend, could act in her memory.

Batman can be blamed for Rachel's death, and for anything and everything, but Bruce Wayne can sit at Harvey's bedside and look him in the eye and offer comfort that will be accepted.

Sometimes it is useful to wear a mask.

I don't know, I'm waiting for bribe offers.

Probably this week. I need to rewatch the movie to check some canon facts before I tackle the plot bunny I have. XD

[juana-a.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll be waiting for it. And it's really good you wrote it. Thank you :)

Podoba mi się ogromnie koncept Bruce'a Wayne'a jako maski. Nie wiem, czy to celowe, ale <333

Convenient, that, considering he'll be the one heading the pursuit.

Ja chcę więcej.

Zostawiłam u Ciebie sandałki. ::headdesk::

[noelia-g.livejournal.com]

Bruce zawsze był bardziej maską i grą niż Batman. :)

A co do sandałków - jak jesteście dzisiaj na mieście? Ja i tak będę w galerii odebrać książki z Empiku ;D

[petronelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, Bruce. Thank you, I needed this.

[noelia-g.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) I'm so glad you liked it.

I really enjoyed this-- I DID wonder what could be done provided Harvey survived and the Joker didn't get to him first, and this is a great spin. I'll definitely be checking out the rest later :)

Here through the community commish_gordon. I'm so very glad you brought him back - Harvey deserved it.
And now in Polish - miło wiedzieć, że nie jestem sama w batmanowym fandomie... :)
