He listened intently as she scolded him, taking a sip from his apparently inadequate drink. Does she ever shut up, Two-Face thought. Someone needs to shoot her or us. Or she can take her dream and shove it up her—Harvey shut out his voice, trying to focus on the present, on Penny’s company. On how much he’d missed the sound of her voice. “We could share a drink you make. Or we can share something else tonight. Your choice.”

her lips were parted,  ready to BERATE him again.  but of course,  in traditional fashion for the oh so SUAVE harvey dent,  he merely let her have her fun before gently putting an END to the festivities.  she licked her lips,  amour now FLOODING her expression.  ❛   i love you, ❜  she murmured,  reaching for him  ;  it was suddenly her only comeback,  ❛   i  —  i was only TEASING.  ❜  he knew that.  she knew he knew that.  as much time as she had spent with harvey over the years,  though,  his particular brand of CHARM never failed to catch her off guard.  ❛   am i gonna get to STEAL a dance with you tonight  ?  i’m glad you decided to come.  i think it’ll be GOOD for you.  ❜

“Damn.” Arthur was taken aback by just how much he missed while trying to deal with his own affairs. “Surprised the city’s still standing.”

❛   i think EVERYONE is.  where were YOU that you missed all that  ? ❜

[lawfvl]

she really had only been looking for CHAPSTICK.  digging through the formal clutch she had RESCUED from the back of the closet,  dusted off,  and taken with her AS-IS plus her license and a twenty  —  it was an ORDEAL,  made twice as hard by the fact she was struggling to maintain eye-contact and appear ATTENTIVE the whole time.  her hand closed around something SOLID and she pulled it out in the hopes it was her vanilla eos.  instead,  in the palm of her hand,  was a small button.  I BELIEVE IN HARVEY DENT.  her fingers TIGHTENED around it,  obscuring it from view as quickly as she could manage.  chapstick now forgotten and eyes WATERING,  she looked back at her companion and offered up a sad smile she hoped would read as APOLOGETIC.  ❛  i’m SORRY,  i didn’t catch that last bit.  run,  uhm.  run it by me ONE MORE TIME  ? ❜

“I think–“ Bruce took a sip of his champagne, letting it linger, bubble on his tongue before his throat moved with a subtle swallow. “I think you know him better than anyone.“ Unfortunately, if he was reading the signs right–the way her eyes caught and lingered on Dent, the knot in her brows, the the dip of her chin to look down and away at her hands–she also cared. Too much.

Affection blinded people to their loved one’s faults. And the hopefulness in her question made it clear she wanted Bruce to validate that faith.

“Try to keep steering him right.“

He couldn’t.

her lips BRIEFLY curved upwards in a bitter smile.  ❛   i do my BEST, ❜  she assured him softly,  eyes flicking up to look once at bruce,  then BACK at harvey before her gaze settled back on what appeared to be a deep interest in her MANICURE.  ❛   he’s a GOOD MAN,  mister wayne.  i HATE that he’s given his LIFE to this city and all it’s done in return is STOMP all over him.  he doesn’t deserve it.  NO ONE does,  but especially  — ❜  her voice caught in her throat,  and her voice dropped even LOWER still,  barely audible by the time she spoke again,  ❛   not HARVEY. ❜

“Mmm. What happened at Halloween? I wasn’t in town for that.”

❛   someone calling themselves HOLIDAY decided to start a large-scale GANG WAR.  threw acid in the district attorney’s face and ELIMINATED half the organized crime all at once.  and then,  uhm.  something with some BOMBS in wayne enterprises and just  ...  terrible things all over,  y’know  ? ❜

Harvey smirked to himself when Penny stole his drink, as well as a sip from it. Turning to see her better–the mask that covered half his face made it difficult to see out his one eye–he watched with amusement as her face scrunched into one of displeasure. Serves her right, Two-Face thought. “Not yours, that’s what,” he joked, taking the glass back as gently as she’d taken it. “If you want me to get you something, all you have to do is ask.”

her lips tightened into a thin,  unamused POUT as he took the glass from her hand,  handing it over gladly.  ❛   wow,  so FUNNY.  have you considered pursuing a CAREER as a comedian  ?  ❜  she drawled flatly,  shooting him a withering look,  ❛   maybe i didn’t WANT a whole drink to myself.  maybe i’ve been operating under the DELUSION that you have good taste in mixed drinks and i wanted to be DISGUSTINGLY ROMANTIC and share a glass with you.  but THAT  —  ❜  she continued,  voice now taking on a playfully ACCUSATORY tone,  ❛   is TERRIBLE.  and quite frankly it’s CRUSHED my dream. ❜ 

[atlanteanxking-blog]

“Someone able to tell me what the party’s for?”

[lawfvl]

❛   ah,  to RAISE MONEY to help repair the city after halloween.  and just,  Y’KNOW.  to help people feel SAFER.  have some FUN. ❜

[lawfvl]

@capedcrusvder

she SIGHED,  trying to mask her DISTASTE in an effort to be CORDIAL.  ❛   no,  you’re RIGHT.  he wants everyone to THINK he’s handling it well,   but  — ❜  but they knew BETTER.  knew harvey better than ANYONE,  maybe.  as much as she hated that it put herself and bruce into a CATEGORY together,  no matter what it was.  ❛   how well can someone TAKE something like that,  though  ?  REALISTICALLY.  he  —  he’ll be FINE. ❜  a PAUSE,  and then,  ❛   don’t you THINK  ? ❜  she sighed again,  tearing her gaze away from where it had been lingering on harvey,  far out of earshot.  her WORRIED brown hues took a sudden INTEREST in her pedicure,  teeth digging into her bottom lip.

[lawfvl]

@twofacedent

❛   oh,  FOR ME  ?  thanks harvey,  you SHOULDN’T have. ❜  he didn’t.  with a playful SMILE, she gently removed the drink from his hand,  eyebrows shooting up as she brought it to her lips and took a small sip.  immediately she pulled a face,  handing the drink back to him quickly,  her nose WRINKLED up in distaste.  ❛   ew,  what IS that  ? ❜

[lawfvl]

twofacedent:

Justice? She thinks we’re gonna get justice by watching him wait behind bars until the law sets him free?

Harvey pushed, and pushed, and pushed until Two-Face was just a nagging voice. Until Harvey could pretend it was just him in his body. He wiped a hand over the good side of his face, turned to Penny with a barely contained grimace. Penny. His friend, his rock, his…well…his something who was there for a lot of major moments in his life. For the beginning of his career, when he wanted to clean the city. When they both wanted the same thing. When their limbs could be tangled, and they could talk about the future like it was bright and full of hope. Like it would be everything his campaign promised to bring.

What would she think now? What if she knew what he’d been doing in his time away?

“You know it won’t be long.” It was said like the sad statement it was. They both knew there were so many loopholes Maroni could run through that the courts–especially Gotham’s corrupt courts–wouldn’t be able to hold him. “He’ll be out, and this,” he said, gesturing to his face and striding closer to her, “will be nothing but a headline in the paper. Tell me how that’s justice.”

when he began moving closer to her again,  she UNFROZE and immediately reached out to him,  capturing one of his hands in both of hers and SQUEEZING tightly.  she hoped it would come across as COMFORTING as she meant it instead of as nervous as she felt.  tugging on his hand in an attempt to pull him closer still,  wide brown hues gazed up at harvey,  darting back and forth between the two sides of his face as though they were holding a tennis match between them.  ❛   he MUTILATED you in front of an entire room full of people,  how could he POSSIBLY get out of that  ?  ❜  gotham’s criminal justice system was MARRED beyond belief,  that much she knew,  but could it possibly be that bad that a known  —  officially it was SUSPECTED BUT ACQUITTED,  but still  —  mobster could get away with DISFIGURING the city’s esteemed district attorney and have absolutely no consequences  ?

she cleared her throat NERVOUSLY,  eyes fell to the floor,  what would most likely be an INCENDIARY question on the tip of her tongue.  ❛   so,  uhm.  they probably RECOMMENDED that you take some time off,  yeah  ?  ❜  she knew it would HARDLY have been a recommendation.  a gentle but forceful PUSH towards paid time off and a mental health evaluation.

“it would provide the members of this society with information about this man they should be looking out for. i am sure i can come across the information another way.”

❛  miss lane,  i deal with CHILDREN.  i’m sure you’ll find what you need to know one way or another,  but please believe me when i say this is NOT my case.  ❜  she sighed and offered an APOLOGETIC smile.  ❛  i’m a big FAN though.  i hope you understand.  ❜

[lawfvl]

“please tell me you never want to see me again.” || “you must never tell anyone else. i don’t want anyone using it against you.” || “i’m fine but Harvey might not be.” || “Penny, will you marry me?”

❛   i CAN’T,  harvey.  maybe i SHOULD but i  —  i love you.  i’d do anything for you EXCEPT that.  ❜

❛   ME  ?  harvey,  you should be worried about YOURSELF  !  y  —  you KILLED him and you’re worried about  ME  ? ❜

❛   i HATE you.  he’s a MONSTER now because of you.  everything is RUINED.  i just want my harvey back,  why can’t you give me that  ?  ❜

❛     —  if you’re sure that’s what you want.  BOTH of you,  i mean.  personally,  i’m a little offended you didn’t ask SOONER.  ❜

@lvislvne

❛  i’m sorry but even if i DID know anything about that case,  i wouldn’t be able to TELL YOU.  ❜

❛  some  of  them,  ❜          she  affirmed  with  a  smile,          adjusting  the  STACK  of  presents  in  her  arms,           ❛  wanna  let  me  in  so  i  can  sneak  these  under  the  tree  before  your  DAD  gets  home  ?  ❜

nightvvingisms:

“so, basically, you’re saying that we’d be partners in crime? aw, that’s sweet of you, really.”

❛  are  we  not  ALREADY  ?  ❜           she  inquired,            donning  an  expression  halfway  between  confusion  and  INJURY,           ❛  that’s  HARSH.           and  here  i  was  about  to  give  you  some  candy  from  my  SECRET  STASH.  ❜

He stood there for a moment in silent astonishment, listening to Two-Face growl and curse in his head. When he knew he had control, when he could wrap his arms around her without Two-Face’s hands reaching for her neck, he firmly gripped her back to return the kind gesture. He let go when it became too much of a risk, though, not wanting to put her in harm’s way. He could do that much for her.

The question rattled around his brain for a moment, old memories surfacing enough to make his jaw tick in anger. “Maroni,” he all but snarled. Inhaling deeply, he walked further into the room. “He was there to testify against Falcone. I don’t know how the bastard got a bottle of acid. I don’t know how I missed it when I questioned him.” Harvey shook his head, running a hand through his hair and turning to Penny. Anger flared again at the thought of that imbecile getting the upper hand. Oh how he wanted him to pay for his crimes.

she could feel his heart hammering against his chest,  pounding through his flesh and bone and sending her own ribcage rattling.  harvey had always been so FAMILIAR.  comfortable.  she could have held onto him for DAYS,  spent weeks and months trying to solve a problem she knew had no answer.  (  she hoped he still knew she loved him in whatever way had become the norm for them.  )  when he let pulled away from the embrace,  the CONCERN flooded back into her features and she watched him retreat into her office,  long strides displaying the anger his expression and tone were trying to CONCEAL.  even when he turned to face her once more,  she was FROZEN in place,  a statue beside a small placard  —  

                                              anxiété                                               mixed media  ; despair, pity, horror, marble                                               2016

❛   I’M SO SORRY,  ❜  was all she could manage as she wrung her hands nervously,  still standing stock still near the door,  feet much too close together and all of it combined threatening to send her TOPPLING any second.  her whispered apology was a PATHETIC attempt at consolation,  really,  but all she could possibly be capable of in the moment,  ❛   but at least he’ll be put away,  harvey.  we’ll see some JUSTICE finally.  ❜  justice at the cost of his face.  well,  HALF of it anyway.  did that make it any more WORTH IT  ?
