   Summary

   Harleen never had friends; she was no good at making them and even worse at keeping them. That was until she was the youngest in med school besides some dork named Bruce who she decided would be her best friend. Whether or not he knew it, he wanted a best friend, too.

   ...

   Based in the headcanon/fanon they went to med school at the same time and were best friends before their individual traumas sent them on different life paths. A story of two friends who find each other and manage to keep coming back even when the world sets them up for failure.
