Summary
Author summary on AO3:

Reactions and Reviews
STATS — 128.7k words, slow-burn, tattoo artist & flower shop owner auPLOT — Botanist and flower shop owner Pamela Isley moves to Gotham from Seattle in search of a new life. Her shop is located directly next to a tattoo shop—one that is incredibly loud and bothersome. Upon walking in to give the shop a piece of her mind, she meets one of the resident artsits, Harley Quinzel, and cannot get her out of her mind. The two become best friends, and feelings slowly start to develop. On a night when Harley is most vulnerable and in need of a place to escape, Pam offers her apartment as a refuge, and from that point on things are never the same again (in the best way possible).
FINAL VERDICT — literally go read this rn, what are you even doing[1]
FAVORITE DETAILS — The SIT sessions were a wonderful touch and I loved seeing the recovery of both Ivy and Harley, because it was so real. I also loved how once Harley got out, she did everything in her power to protect both herself and Ivy from Jack, and we got to see her and Ivy grow into their wonderful, healthy romance.
CHARACTER DEPICTIONS — I love how all of the characters are illustrated; Selina, who is the caring best friend and genuinely does her best to help others around her all the while being her cocky, usual self. Pam, who escaped Seattle and started anew in Gotham and is the crass botanist and also the insanely kind and caring lover. Barbara is the adorable coffee shop owner, Floyd is the caring figure for Harley that she never had, and everyone is just wonderful.
Poison Ivy x Harley Quinn pairing in an AU flowershop and tattoo parlor. Really good chemistry and romance between these ladies and a bit of a realistic take on abusive relationships. [2]
comfort fic that I re-read one every few months lmao[3]
Just read this whole series straight through and I can say that it is a masterpiece. Total props to the author cause some parts of this story really got to me. Its one of those few gems that's just great all around. Still, I can't help feeling sad that its over. Harley and Ivy have one of those dynamics that I never get bored of. But the story had to end at some point. Thanks for this awesome work, I really enjoyed it.[4]
across the way is my favorite[5]
