#its not new growth and its 2f instead of harvey but she does feature

[daedalusdavinci]

i know you didn't intend this, but your fic new growth made me lowkey ship harvey and talia and now i'm a little hurt no one else has written any kind of dynamic for them

thats hilarious. i love doing that to people im ngl. im also shocked no ones written anything! i mean theyre two of bruces most iconic exes, and people write bruces exes hooking up w each other all the time. plus, there is a SLIGHT basis for it in canon (which is more than exists for harv n clark, but theyve got fics). i honestly think it has to do w the fact that the dent system just... doesnt fucking have a lot of fics to begin w (im p sure theyre written as villains in other ppls stories usually), and while i havent checked the bruce n talia tag, im certain its in a sorry state just based off of other fics ive seen w her. ppl r not kind to talia in this fandom (and we know whose fault that is!) and the dent system is. woo. thats a whole other conversation

but! i must enable you anon.

we know that in canon, harvey and 2f are both demonstrated to have a thing for women that can kick their asses. they are. fucking hilarious abt this, actually. im not going to touch on the renee thing at all bc ive never read any of those comics but their reaction to manhunter (probably 2f?) makes me fucking laugh. she nearly kills them and theyre like damn is she single? lol. get a GRIP pLS 😭 and the fact that harvey does actually hit on talia once while she goes turncoat on the rogues and manages to evade every single one of them? you know they like her. if nothing else, they have to respect her. its harder for me to speak to whether or not talia would like them, but harvey and bruce are parallels in a lot of ways, and she has a much greyer sense of morality than bruce, so do that w that

i also just have to say i love the potential of their dynamic purely as like. this is a person bruce has loved and been changed by and i have to find respect and appreciation for what they meant to him. i think they have a lot of potential as good friends in aus where the system is a little more morally gray or trying to recover, and ive always believed that most good friendships in fiction can be improved w a little flirting. and i definitely think the system would flirt. bc harvey and 2f are. insufferable actually, oh my god. i dont think i acknowledge that in fics nearly enuff bc its bruce and bruce is Bruce and so its different bc hes Too Valuable to lose but they are actually kind of obnoxious flirts im ngl to u??? why are they like this.

im not sure where im going w this but lol its early here
