Fic - Man, Indivisible (1/1)

Title: Man, Indivisible
Author: Red Fiona
Disclaimer: I don't own Batman, it's all DC's. Or Warner Brothers for the bits I've pinched from the Nolan-verse. No money is being made from this.

Fandom: Batman
Characters: Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent
Pairings: Bruce Wayne/Harvey Dent, Bruce Wayne/Rachel Dawes, Harvey Dent/Rachel Dawes

Ratings/Warnings: PG-13, off-screen canonical child abuse.

Notes: Written for an lgbtfest or queerfest prompt, but sort of spun away from the point of the prompt in the context of the fest. The prompt was "Batman, Harvey Dent/Bruce Wayne, when they've both spent their whole lives dividing things in two, is it any wonder one of them snapped? Bruce just never thought it would be Harvey." It's set somewhere between the Animated Series and the Nolanverse. Because I have pinched Rachel and a couple of scenes from the Nolan films.

Summary: When they've both spent their whole lives dividing things in two, is it any wonder one of them snapped? Bruce just never thought it would be Harvey.

( There was a time when Bruce was very jealous of Harvey Dent. )
