As long as Captain and I have been writing Batman fanfiction, we've also been reading it. Since we're not the end all be all of awesome in the fandom and since it's so hard to find great stories in the Batman universe nowadays because of all the Mary Sues running rampent since the release of The Dark Knight, we thought we'd share some of our favorites with you. Enjoy and remember to tell the authors that you enjoy their work!
(Pimping us to them wouldn't hurt, either :D)
Captain's Picks
HatterScarecrow. Jonathon Crane has a doctor's hands...

JxHQ: Punchline by princessebee
It was the one joke she got he didn't. JokerxHarley. Firmly rooted in the DCAU. Not OOC but it's definitely fluff and I'm guilty. References to abuse. Written for the 'Punchline' drabble challenge at batfic contest on livejournal. WINNER second place!
No one dresses as well as the Joker. And no one loves it more than Harley. Exploration of a ritual between them. Sensual and subtle. JokerxHarley.

Batman Begins: The Parody by Ms.Nina
The whole movie as it should be. A full length spoof, that will get you laughing.
Mad Friends » by Lauralot
Joker wasn't the only one Harleen Quinzel treated. The story of her fall to darkness through the eyes of her patient and friend, Jonathan Crane. Rated M to be safe.
A late night encounter, a fetish revealed. Crane x Rachel Dawes x foodstuffs. I don't own any of these characters!
Once I Was You » by ladyFrost2
Bruce isn't really sure who he is anymore. And the little psychiatrist shaped 'problem' he picked up in Arkham isn't helping. Could be read as a sequel to the movie. Sadly they don't make films like this much. NOW COMPLETE.
