Do you have thoughts on this pairing you'd like to share? You're welcome to send it in to me. Please make sure it's insightful, intelligent and as in-depth as you can be. The more intense, the better!
Please note: You do not have to take the stance that Joker loves Harley. Well-written explorations of how she acts as a buffer to his narcissism are very much welcome. We're after the stuff that honours a little more complexity than the over-simplistic 'use and abuse' approach.


     
These are recommended readings of works by fans which I personally feel are the cut above the rest. They're insightful, in character, interesting, psychological and largely  well-written. I hope that you enjoy them too!
