My rating: 4.55 of 5 stars


Fanfiction: Harley Quinn, Pamela Isley, & the Joker too. Set in Ancient Greece.

Harley is married to Doloes (the Joker). Pamela is Ivy, the forest nymph. Doloes savagely beats Harley, and Harley suffers greatly. Ivy, who has not had much use for humans, spots Harley and is oddly drawn to her. Harley and Ivy become friends - but have to fight Doloes/Joker. Much suffering has to occur.

This is a rather enjoyable story - both in terms of being a historical fiction story, and in terms of being a Harley Quinn story. If there was one thing that holds me back from marking this five stars - it is the somewhat unfortunate issue that the story is told from both Harley & Ivy's POV - but each POV change reverses the story. As in, we see things from Ivy's point of view, then we see things from Harley's. Occasionally one or the other advances the story, occasionally one or the other just restates the story from the other point of view, and occasionally - more rare this - the POV switches within the same chapter. *shrugs* It's not a horrible situation but it does keep this from reaching 5 star status.


I like including pictures for fanfiction . . . can't seem to find one with Quinn in an Ancient Greek outfit. hmms.   Something like this here I guess -

Ivy is slightly easier to find - since she doesn't wear anything but plants in the story.  -
