DC Universe: The Color of Straw by David Hines
The Color of Straw (Scarecrow/Harlequin | R | 845 words) is Scarecrow/Harlequin. It is nice and wonderfully twisted. I'll admit that I know very little about the DC universe, but the story makes sense without much knowledge.
Excerpt:
He avoided women, if he could. He didn't like them much.
The first woman who'd seen him naked had laughed.
This woman wasn't laughing, he realized. She was crying.
He squinted at the woman through the steam. Crane's glasses were by the entrance to the showers. All he could make out was a blur. But her sobs had a strange, hiccuping quality to them, almost like a cartoon -- she'd sounded familiar -- "Harley?" he said. "Harley Quinn?"
"Hiya, Dr. Crane," she said.
