The Joker x Reader Imagines 💚

Curses That Don't Exist

"Curses That Don't Exist" happens to be one of Y/N's favorite books and despite the title indicating the maledictions aren't real, something weird occurred: the hex she wished upon her former boyfriend came true. The woman might not be a sorceress, yet her broken heart turned The Joker into the unlucky recipient of his own self-made hell.

Which curse you wished to come true you ask? It's very simple: the jinx enabling the one that broke a heart to be incarnated into unhuman life forms 7 times while awaiting atonement. If the cursed person won't feel any remorse for what they have done by the time he/she reaches the 7th metamorphosis, they will forever be trapped as that last creature.

For The Joker it happened 3 days ago: he was chased by cops after a bank robbery went wrong downtown Gotham City and found himself surrounded on the bridge passing Yukonison River. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide so the unique solution was for him to abandon the vehicle and jump into the treacherous waters.

J never emerged from under the waves because the hex kicked in: he found himself trapped in Y/N's gravitational field and knowing how much guilt he feels for anything, quite doomed to have his fate sealed by the curse.

1. Skunk

Oh my God, did you panic or what?! You were watering the flowers in the backyard when you saw the skunk charging your way; you threw the hose away and rushed inside, slamming the patio door closed. The animal kept screeching at the entrance, relentlessly clawing the wood frame; it made you wonder if it had rabies or something. The Joker was actually shouting your name, not that you understood:

"Y/N!!! Y/N!! It's me, let me in! Something eerie is going on! Y/N! It's J!!! Y/N!!!!!!"

Since you lived near the woods outside Gotham City, you fed a few cute skunks often venturing on the property but that particular specimen didn't seem familiar.

"Y/N!!! Y/N!!! It's me, please let me in!" J kept begging and stopped for a few moments. "What the hell is that odor??!!" he sniffed the air towards his tail and gasped. "Holy crap, I stink!!!"

The revelation was quite a shock for the usually very groomed and nice smelling Clown Prince of Crime, thus the 3 baby skunks showing up to see if you left food for them didn't help.

"Dad!! Dad!!!" they clung to him and The Joker got pissed at the little ones.

"Get lost! I'm not your dad!!! Y/N!! Y/N!!!! Disappear you pests!" he tried to bite them when the real parents scouting the yard for their youngsters saw the scene and attacked J because they perceived him as dangerous.

He split immediately, unwilling to fight the couple already scolding their children:

"What are you kids doing?! I told you not to talk to strangers! We only trust the nice lady that leaves food for us!"

"Sorry dad, we were just messing around..." the oldest apologized and their mom shrieked at their father:

"This all your fault, you spoil them too much!"
