As with some of The Chalice, I found myself disturbed and intrigued and a little turned on, then disturbed that I was turned on.

I like this. But I don't think I will be able to adequately explain why in terms that make sense. It tickles at a part of my brain that is kind of dark and contains some perverse and sometimes disturbing things.
As per usual, you're writing is amazing. You have a way of taking darker material, skirt that line between unnerving and unpalatable and keep me reading, even if the situation is uncomfortable. And again, you captured the Joker's persona very well. The clown face isn't the disfigurement. It's the psyche inside.

I need to go back and re-read your Maul Fic. I really liked that as well.

Good job honey.
