About 33.9K fanfictions emerge when you directly type DC in the search bar at Wattpad. However, if you type Batman in the search results, the results go up to 41.8K and on typing Superman you get 42.8K stories so here I'm assuming that these heroes...
Another long wait because my schedule is all over the place but here we are again with a cliche plot that is used for almost all fanfics featuring Joker as the love interest.
Why does he even have to be the love interest is a good question altogether. Now before you Joker fans start to take out your bazookas, let me explain.

I am not saying that writing fanfics about the Joker is a bad idea. I am just saying that it is very important to decide the setting of your story and to acknowledge that most of the relationships with psychotic killers end up being abusive, manipulative and hella toxic.
And it's not a good idea to romanticize these relationships.

You can have a fanfic with the Joker as the love interest before he went down the hatch of craziness. Maybe explore the sort of back story that was shown in the Killing Joke or give the notorious clown prince a back story of your own by focusing on his life before becoming the Joker.
You can explore many possibilities with an OC who the Joker cared for but then lost her and other events also influenced in making him the clown prince of Gotham etc.
Anyways, enough of the pep talk, let's focus on the rest of the details.
OC's Personality And Traits:
1. The OC, let's call her Sally, is either another worker at Arkham (like a nurse or psychiatrist or anyone from the prison staff) or she is a fellow prisoner.
2. Usually, these stories follow the same arc of joker bewitching this naïve young girl and making her fall helplessly in love with him, so much so that she would do anything to help him.
3. So Sally usually doesn't have that strong of a personality to stand her ground against the Joker and falls in his trap of fake love.
[But sometimes way later on in the story, the author reveals that it wasn't just a trap of fake love, the Joker eventually fell in love with her for real and cue the happy ever after].
