Author Website: sometimes you need a story
Why this must be read:
This is another story set in the Lorderverse, which to refresh your memory, is the alternate universe where everything went wrong. In "A Better World," we saw the fates of several Bat villains: Joker, Ivy, Two-Face and others, but not Harley Quinn.
"Day 812" takes place just as ABW has ended, and shows a chilling but perfect picture of What Probably Happened Next.
Harley is sane.
She pays for her bagel while the armored goons drag away the old guy who'd complained about his runny eggs, and really it's not hard to be sane at all. You're never fully dressed without a
smile in the new Gotham, and Harley always has a smile on her face and a song in her heart, no problem. It's easier for her, looks like, than for some of the other mooks at the run-down diner. They’re staring at their food like it was going to bite them back, but don't have the nerve to push it away.
She thinks about the time that she and Mr. J had switched the salt for sneezing powder at the Gotham Policemen's Benevolent Fund dinner. Batman had arrived with the antidote before *anybody* could sneeze themselves to death, but they’d gotten away in the new car that was the grand prize...and then suddenly it *is* hard. She wants to laugh and laugh and laugh, and make everybody else laugh, too, until she tumbles the world topsy-turvy and the sad things aren't sad anymore. But that'll get the armored goons after her, too, and that wouldn't be any fun at all.
