Harly's Head
Word Count (Not Counting the song): 366
Pairing: Harley Quinn/Joker
Band/Song: Britney Spears/Criminal
He is a killer just for fun fun fun
the man is a snitch and unpredictable
he's got no conscious he got none none none
ohhhh I know should let go
but no
cuz he's a bible with a tainted heart
I know pudding thinks I'm pretty dumb sometimes, even if I did actually graduate from college- unlike him, he never made it that far or so he says. He admitted to not even finishing high school but sometimes I think he's just pulling my leg. Lately though I've been thinking of leaving-I can't deal with him anymore. Then I remember why I'm with him, with him I'm special-with him I feel like the world can't hold me back. People tell me that he's no good and that he's tricked me. Sure he's unpredictable and some times I get the feeling he doesn't give a damn about me or anyone other than the bat.
Then I remember the fun, excitement I get with him-I think of children a lot but honestly I wonder if we would ever have kids since we haven't ever slept together yet and we'd been together for years now. I'm a patient sort of gal though, so I'll wait till he's ready for me. Batman frowns at me sometimes, like he's not quite sure what to make of me. He knows I'm smart because sometimes we talk-yeah me and the bat talking, He finds me on rooftops sometimes. I know he'll take me back to Arkham and to my Pudding pie but we linger on good nights and talk about all sorts of things.
He tries to convince me that I shouldn't stay with the Joker and I convince him to leave the subject alone with my super hammer. Couldn't blame him though, he had his own problems-people had been talking, something about Jonny boy following bats around or the rumor that Eddie had gone straight for the bat. Well, not a criminal at any rate-that boy was gayer than gay. I secretly wonder if Eddie and Jonathan get together, like shack up because they can't get the bat, and then I forget what I was thinking because when those two end up working together, they start driving each other more batty then they already were.
Then my mind goes back to pudding and I forget about all the other people and things in my life. It was wonderful...me and my pudding forever.
In His Arms
Word Count (Not Counting the song): 300
Pairing:Bruce Wayne/Harvy Dent
Band/Song: Within Temptation/ Dangerous
I know I won't change, I have tried
was feeling so caged, hands tied
I can't find anything feeling so right
it's blinding all
They had been best friends for so long, so when they ended up in bed together-they hadn't talked about it. That had been before Harvey had been hurt, before he became Two Face and maybe that was why he wanted Harvey to come back, to no longer be Two Face. There was a time when he seriously doubted that Harvey would ever come back-especially after the whole Judge incident. But, they kept finding each other, there was nothing like falling into Harvey's arms, nothing like the heat they shared when they rutted against each other. And god damned it all they couldn't keep doing this, it was wrong, Dangerous for the both of them. Dangerous for him because if Harvey found out that he was Batman he'd put a few bullets in him before asking his coin if he should or not-and dangerous for Harvey, should anyone find out-well there were plenty of people who would attempt to use Harvey against his famous lover.
"Stay."
He couldn't deny Harvey so he laid back down in his arms, most would find this distasteful given that half of Harvey's body was burnt by the explosion he'd been unable to stop-Still Harvey meant the world to him, would continue to mean the world to him and if any one attempted to take Harvey from him he'd rip them apart with his bare hands. He couldn't leave Harvey no matter what was going on with them, whether or not they were fighting-even when he was batman he couldn't just walk away from Two Face. One day, maybe a long time from now or soon, as soon as tomorrow Harvey would find out about Batman and throw him out of his life-but until then he'd continue this dangerous road...Continue loving Harvey Dent, and Two Face.
Hallow
Word Count (Not Counting the song): 688
Pairing: Jonathan/Batman (Pre relationship)
A/N: Alright I cheated a little I llike this song The pairing however isn't one I've really written given that I normally write Crane/Grayson lol
Band/Song: Hurts/The Road
In the dead of the night I feel you
when I open my eyes you disappear
the metal wraps itself around your bones
and when it penetrates you it feels cold
as you were born you leave this world alone
a stranger on an unfamiliar road
He was tired and just wanted to find somewhere to rest his head, but it wasn't going to happen right at that point in time. Jonathan shivered, he hated Arkham so damn much and walking on this lonely road late at night. He may have gotten 'better' in their eyes but he still wanted his Toxin, of course that might be because he was a little freaked out by the pitch black woods that surrounded the road. Why they didn't just help them get into town instead of making them walk that long distance to the city beats him, he was sure they'd done this to him on purpose even if he was better. No more plots to gas the city, no more lurking in warehouses waiting for costumed bats to swoop him up and send him back to Arkham.
He heard the rumble of a motor, but it sounded different then most cars-there was only one vehicle that sounded like that, Batman's. Was he coming to drop someone off, or had he heard that Jonathan Crane, the Scarecrow! had been released? The BatMobile pulled up to a stop, and the bat slid out. He just stared at the man, and batman simply stared back. "They released me." Batman nodded; "And they mess up first thing too." hm? "It's not like I have anywhere to go." Batman sighed; "There's a place for inmates to go after their released, they should have taken you there." But they hadn't bothered, they just gave him some clothes and shoved him off. "Come on, let me take you there." And he wasn't about to turn down an offer of somewhere to stay for at least a night. Somewhere possibly warm, somewhere where he might get something to eat. "Alright." Batman and he got into the Batmobile, this was really the first time he'd been awake while in the car...It had all sorts of gadgets and nonsense, seriously did all these buttons actually do something? Or were they for show?
Though if they all worked then there was more to be said of Batman, did he even create any of the things he used or were they gadgets and gizmos that he'd been given one way or another? "I'm surprised that you wouldn't hate me." He wouldn't say he liked the batman either, though that was a bit rough given-if he hadn't wanted revenge than batman needn't hunt him. "There are better things on my mind at the moment." And revenge wasn't one of them, even if he sometimes felt that the Bat should have kept his nose out of the whole thing.
"Why are you helping me anyway?" Batman made one of those noncommittal noises and didn't answer right away. Though he seemed to realize fairly quickly that he actually wanted an answer; "Why not?" Why indeed. Though he supposed that the bat had to save everyone-everyone including those he put away. "I've killed hundreds of people-that's why." Batman let out a breath; "You and I know that the only reason people have died was because their hearts gave out-the fear doing them in." Well, that could be said-but it was because he had hit them with fear toxin. He was the cause no matter how you looked at it.
"But, why? I'm not going to contribute anything to Gotham now-I never was." Batman sighed; "There are people interested in your skill set-there are other rouges running around with their own brand of chemicals." That was true, though the Jokers laughing gas was actually a derivative of Fear Toxin. "Who would hire me for that kind of work-no one that's who." Batman chuckled; "So if Bruce Wayne asked you to work for him in that capacity you'd say no?" Would Wayne actually ask him? "I won't believe it till I see it." Batman snorted, "Of course not." Because when had batman lied to him? Never, his mind whispered and for the most part that was true. Batman wasn't one to lie to him, there were a few times where he was pretty sure there were half truths but no straight out lies.
Contemplation
Word Count (Not Counting the song): 340
Pairing: The Riddler/Two-face
Warning: Major Character Death
Band/Song: Within Temptation/ Let us burn
A?N: I nearly cried the whole time I was writting this! The lyrics are at fault for that sorry! BTW, this is just a pairing I haven't written before-I like the song and when I saw it I knew I had to write a death story and that was before I saw the pairing!
I'm searching no more for tomorrow
I reach for the skies while I can
the unknown will always be waiting
my last day I'll jump in its hands
He had known at some point that their ways would get one of them killed, but for it to not be him...That was the hard part, he sighed and looked down at the small marker that bared the false name of his lover. He could only wish that one day he would join Edward, he wasn't coward enough to try and take his own life just to join Eddie, they wouldn't really be back together-there was nothing on the other side of death-people just died and that was that. If god existed he wouldn't allow two criminal lovers back together, and if the devil existed then he'd laugh as he put a giant gap between them with fire roaring and they would spend eternity never to hold one another again.
"Harvey." He glanced up, the batman standing a respectful distance from him. "Give me more time to say goodbye." Batman nodded and waited patiently as he though over his options. He didn't want to leave Eddie, but Eddie didn't even know he was there-all that was left was the body, his mind was gone. Pain lanced through his chest, and Jesus Christ Eddie was really gone-he'd really left him behind. Tears gathered in his eyes, how could this happen to them? Sure, the cops were freaked out by the rouge gallery but Eddie was the least violent towards people who hadn't wronged him and yet he still gets shot to death. A death not worthy of the mind it silenced..."The cop, the one who shot him-what happened to him?" Batman sighed, the weight of Eddies death on his shoulders as well. "Scarecrow gassed him, and Jervis pushed him off a building." Of course his friends would avenge Eddies death the only way they knew how. "Tell them I'm sorry."
Batman rushed forward, something in his voice must have tipped off the man. "Harvey no!" Cool metal brushed the side of his head and he pulled the trigger, praying that god or the devil existed so he could see Eddie again.
Bloom
Word Count (Not Counting the song): 374
Pairing: Batgirl/Poison Ivy
Band/Song: All Time Low/ Painting Flowers
For a chance to make it all right
when I wake up the dream isn't done
I want to see your face
and know I made it home
if nothing is true what more can I do
I am still painting flowers for you
It was so strange to fall in love with another woman, even stranger that the woman would fall right back for her. They may have been years apart, but there was something powerful about Pamela Isley that she'd never seen before-as deranged as she could be, there was a beautiful side too.
And damned her for falling for such a poisonous personality. Pamela might love her but she hated what she stood for, Pamela hated Batman, Robin, and yes even Batgirl. Even if latter was her girlfriend, even if latter was madly in love with her. It didn't matter really because they were on opposite sides of the law and love could be thorny. They would fight, mostly because Pamela was so focused on her crusade and Batman made Batgirl focused on their crusade that when her and Pam were together they would eventually fight and damn it why couldn't she have fallen for Dick? You didn't chose who you fell in love with and all that BS. Then again, whoever said that was a sick bastard because it was true and you didn't have to tell the whole world about it! She sighed and looked down, now was not the time to worry over love-right now she had to watch for a burglary, and who in their right mind would want to burglar some dumb warehouse anyway?
Apparently these guys, and damn there was Pamela. Well, that was going to be an argument in the making. Why had it been her to draw the short stick tonight? Letting out a breath she stood, she'd have to stop them either way, whether or not Pam got raging mad at her. Which she would for stopping whatever plot this was.
Swooping into the warehouse she looked for the trio, and wait a second seriously? "You can come out Batgirl, my goons have left-it's just us." And Pamela was standing next to a table with a candle on it. She swept down and stood next to her girlfriend. "And what is all this?" Pam smiled, "It's our anniversary. I thought I could hold you hostage and have a romantic dinner at the same time." And vines captured her-well at least she could say she got caught.
Chapter A/N:
I started out using a personal Song challenge. The challenge was for me to use songs I dislike or hated then I had to tack on pairings I don't normally write and this was born.
Then just to throw a fast ball at myself I decided to write names down from batman and roll a D20 to get the pairings- T_T 'Contemplation' made me cry when I rolled my D20 to get which pairing I was using...well hey look at that I've never written them yay! wait nooooo lol
Though please if you use my challenge, and seriously Please! For the love of Batman send me a message so I can read your stories! You do not have to review this story either to send me messages! Though if you want other people to read the story you send my way you might want to lol
Also If you have stories you think I might like then please by all means message me! I like practically everything so don't just think hey Daiyu won't like this, just remember these simple things. I dislike My Little Pony, but I'm cool with Adventure Time. I dislike Harley Quinn but like the suiside squad and the Arkham games versions.
Really, all you have to do is send it my way and I'll R&R! Even if it is my little pony.
Almost all of these stories are considered Flash Fiction (Which I've read is anywhere from 300 words to a thousand since I normally write a thousand words a pop I figured I almost always write flash fiction lol Though for average you get about 320 words out of me for most of the stories on here-I have a few at a thousand + in later chapters though.
