Length: 430 words

Why this must be read:

This wonderful little ficlet is set after recent events in Detective Comics in which Catwoman's heart is stolen (the organ, not her emotions) and Batman rescues her, then confesses his love to her. It's a beautiful, dusky gem of a story, rich with gorgeous language and a Bruce/Selina dynamic that's intimate, loving, and challenging all at once. It's very hot and very sweet and matches their relationship so well.

He licks slow down her sternum, gathering sweat, sweetness, memories. His tongue mimics scalpel, but he's neither cut nor cure. Still listening, he is rewarded. Her heart quickens.

A cheap, potent metaphor, he knows. Across rooftops and into rhetoric, she can match him.
