Summary
Jack Napier has seen horrifying things.
But somehow, he's not as bothered by them as he wishes he were.
After running away from Gotham's orphanage, Jack meets a younger boy: Arthur Fleck. The two have an instant bond that Jack has never experienced before. His newly found protectiveness is put to the test after a violent encounter in Arthur's home when Jack does something that he can never take back. The aftermath spirals his mental state into an eternal pit of darkness and lust for violence until he finally begins a new life as: the Joker. -

Summary
(Set in the year 1965)
During a scuffle with the Scarecrow, Joker is injected with a new strain of Fear Toxin. After ten days they still don’t have an antidote. Running out of time Batman steps in to try and keep his terrified and hallucinating arch nemesis calm and alive, but not only does she not recognize him, she seems to be someone else entirely.
The delirious conversation that follows not only raises questions about who the Joker is, but it also exposes a gruesome crime that might otherwise have been forgotten.
(I made up my own fem Joker origin story and this is how Batman finds out about it.) (first chapter is Joker POV)
FINISHED!

Summary
Atenção: Leia a "base", lá eu vou esclarecer algumas coisas sobre a história que infelizmente não cabem aqui.
If you don't speak my language use the translator, I would have missed wonderful stories if I limited myself to my language :)
Em uma Gotham que não precisa mais do Batman para se manter funcional, Bruce luta com sua persona heroica não mais necessária e sua persona socialite inventada. Ao mesmo tempo, ele precisa lidar com conflitos externos e tenta pela primeira vez descobrir quem realmente é “Bruce Wayne”.
Coringa, agora Jack, tenta deixar o passado para trás mais uma vez, o ex-terrorista tem andando em uma corda bamba entre a sanidade e a insanidade, tentando manter sua cabeça acima da água, tentando manter sua promessa mútua com seu antigo rival Batman.
Gordon, passando por um caos mental e lutando com problemas em seu casamento, tem um mistério intrigante para resolver que envolve o passado, figurões de Gotham, os pais de Bruce, Arkham e o Coringa. Muita coisa será jogada no ventilador, ninguém vai sair ileso, passado e presente vão se chocar, identidades virão à tona e segredos serão descobertos.Eu sou realmente péssimo em resumos, me dê uma chance :)

Summary
Batman and Joker, or Bruce and J., have been dancing their new dance of domestic life for about ten years.
For the past year or so, Bruce, Alfred, Harley, Pamela, and Joker himself have been helping create new medication that can aid Joker's mental state and his physical state. He's been suffering chronic pain ever since the chemical fall, and from years of fighting and doing whatever the fuck he wants with his body, and even from a few years of vigilanteism side-by-side with dear Bats.
They have been working well. Maybe a little too well. His body is working in ways they all had been convinced it never could post-fall.
So yeah, Joker may or may not be growing a little bean of life in his weird clown-y body.
This might just be the biggest joke or the biggest change to Joker and Bruce's lives yet.
Though they've both been through a fuck of a lot, together, on their own, and at the hands of the other.
Is there anything they can't get through? -

Summary
Previously posted on Fanfiction.net
PhD-hopeful Emily Woodward couldn't believe her luck when a successful session with the Joker in Arkham as part of her exams turned her into his psychotherapist. She couldn't resist the draw to his sick and twisted mind, but she doesn't realize she's played right into his hands, and the hands of the people she trusted most.
Joker's innocent and adorable shrink wasn't originally supposed to play that big of a role in Joker's plans, but he's never desired anything more than her sharp wit and empathy, bookish charm, and malleable, pretty mind.
Their draw to the other proves as dangerous as the people chasing them; she knows she can't save him, but he vows to break her. -

Based heavily on the interaction between Harleen and Jack Napier in Batman: Lovers and Madmen, but reading the comic is not at all necessary to understand this work.
