Description:

an AU I made up were Joker is just a messy crazy gal and i love her and Batman is just a big shy softy. Based off art I made. See 'The Joker' and 'The Batman' for said art

Not all fics mention fashion choices lol, that would be awkward and forced but its there in spirit. My Ideas That Have Not Been Finished/Written Yet:

Joker talks cryptically to Batman one sleepless night about witnessing her father die in a crowd crush caused by a fire at the 1939 Gotham World’s Fair. At the time she was seven and sitting on his shoulders. The way she talks about it, it feels completely unprocessed.

Cassette player in the batmobile - Shivers
Batman has never been musically inclined but when he adds a cassette player to the batmobile he learns just how passionate Joker is about music, specifically loud music. Maybe it starts to grow on him as well... or maybe seeing how it effects Joker is whats growing on him. (the music they listen to is left up to reader interpretation) <3

Notes:

Joker has the flu - The Small Hours
Batman tracks the joker down to her abandoned hideout. She is very sick and sleeping in a cast iron bath tub. He needs her help to warn the citizens of Gotham about contaminated water By hacking the tv broadcast that the mayor is refusing to make public. Batman needs to let everyone know before they wake up and start eating and using the water. Joker agrees because she hates the mayor. What follows is a feverish delerouse joker being dragged around town by Batman as she gets the parts together for the broadcast, and the insane, nonsensical, tragic, funny ramblings of a fever hillusicating clown who should really be getting some serious bed rest, and or medical attention. At one point they go to Twoface for the satellite dish and he makes them play darts around batman LOL. they end ups stealing it from Pangwine who is ironically staying up late celebrating his ten year sobriety chip, watching his henchpeopel get wasted. Features major batman/joker bonding. Takes place from 12:00 midnight to sunrise that moring. In the end batman lets joker participate in broadcast but she the falls asleep mid way though on live TV.

Batman has whooping cough - The Best Medicine
Batman passes out and joker trys to nurse him back to health with her highly misinformed "home remedy's". what fallows in an incite into how joker has learned to takes care of herself (ie not well.) her traumatic fearful relationship with medical professionals, her fractured and repressed memories of her late teenage mother (who was equally as ill equipped), and the angst that causes. Features: Batman being subjected to all manner of strangeness. Vapo-rub. Mustard and bread and butter pickles, garlic. Lots of dry lavender. Hot steam. Out of character, neurotic Joker. Harley commiserates with sick batman (shes been though jokers 'treatment' as well). In the end Batman says he needs to go to the clinic. joker is tarrefied for him but Batman invites her to come along. They go to Dr. Leslie Thompkins. Joker is scared at first, trying to hide it, but and the experience reassures her and by the end she is no longer stressed.

Joker avenges her mothers murder (1968) - Cruel Jokes
One night the Joker is hit by a train, Batman is there to save her life. She was drunk. Everyone thinks she tried to kill herself, including Batman. (She lost limbs in the accident.) At her request he visits her. She tells him that she was pushed on the tracks, that she would never kill herself. She can't remember but she knows it was related to the 1948 suicide of her mother. Reluctantly he agrees to break her out of the hospital to investigate. He hopes that this will make her see the truth but as they retrace jokers movements leading up to that night a mystery involving corrupt cops and lawyers, extortion, and the murder of her mother starts to unravel. He starts to believe that joker was pushed onto the tracks.(this also alleviates his guilt over her mental health) Together they work backwards to solve the mystery while evading capture by the GCPD. Using Joker as bait they confront the men responsible for her mothers murder on the condition Joker let them face trial. They confess but tell joker that none of them were at the train tracks the night she was hit (that joker actually did try to kill herself). Enraged and despite Batman's begging Joker shoots all of them. The building they are in collapses into the rivier. Batman escapes and fishes joker from the water and saves her life… again. Joker is angry he saver her and then sad, very sad, very very sad, she cries and says she cant be herself anymore. She cant kill anymore. A week later they kiss. ;}
