Oh thank you thank you thank you! I know what you mean about it all starting to look the same, so I'm very glad you found this to be refreshing. And the fact that you used the word reverence earns you a very large virtual cookie -- I was trying to capture just that, having the Joker in control but still giving the Batman his due (for he *does* love him in a very twisted way, or at the very least what he represents). I will definitely write more; this fandom owns my soul. Again, thank you, what a lovely comment!

P.S. T.S. Eliot is ♥. XD *adds you back*
