"It's a different kind of hurt. It doesn't hurt your body," he lifted his hand up and pressed two fingers lightly against the side of her head, "It hurts here." She didn't move away. "I already hurt there, Peter." "I know you do," he murmured. The intimacy of the moment was alarming, and their words passed soft and quiet, designed only for each other. He felt the pull that drew them together, had her all but leaning against his chest in search for the feel of him, the feel of them together. Somewhere in the distance of the lab, a siren wailed faintly, effectively reminding them of reality. Still, he leaned closer, savoring the way her breath caught when he did. And then, more real than she'd ever know, he confessed, "So do I." *** Test subject number Seven is a part of a new experiment involving isolated training with Orderly Peter Ballard, who might be nothing that he says he is.

Xer'Tal the Bloodthirsty had spent years as a warrior and now works as personal guard. With a world at war, his skills are in high demand however being an orc meant he was jaded to the world. People treated him poorly, gave him no trust, and he didn't trust a single person, even those who paid him. So he wasn't expecting someone like Tansy Wilde. Tansy Wilde was sent out from her family's lumberyard to head to the Kelpfar mountains to negotiate with the kobolds for a trade agreement when a bandit waylaid her plans. She escaped and fled to the nearest town where she asked after someone she could hire to protect her and she was sent straight to Xer'tal. Tansy knew orcs, she saw them occasionally at the lumberyard but there was something about this orc that has her breath catching in her chest. She paid him coin and asked him if he could escort her to Kelpfar and then back to her family's lumberyard. The coin was more than good so he agreed. The two start off but the stoic and cynical Xer'tal has no clue what to do with the bubbly and sweet Tansy as they make their way into the wilds. He finds the lines between job and employer he has always held firm waver under the sunshine of one singular, talkative woman as, for the first time in a long time, he is treated like a person that matters and not just as an orc. And Tansy finds her heart opening up more and more as the orc lets her truly be herself for the first time in years. Worlds and cultures collide as these two grow closer and only time will tell if love will bloom as they traverse the wilds between them.

Dark Waters, a TDK Joker fanfic "'I've been here a long time, playing with your hair. You must have been thinking about something... important,' he said, the familiar voice out of sync with his present appearance. He leaned in closer, his scarf falling down and exposing his scarred lips. He spoke as if he was telling her a secret that was only between the two of them. 'You know, people will think we're lovers, here on the rocks, watching the water.'" As the social fabric of Gotham begins to fray and the Joker's intrusion into her life escalates, Anna struggles to maintain control. But is she threatened by the Joker or by something within herself? Notes: I don't have a set timeline on new chapters, but do plan to continue writing this. I have some other creative projects I'm working on right now but already have a couple of future chapters written, so Annie and the Joker will be back. [Note 2/24: It may be a few months rather than a few weeks break, unfortunately. I've got some writer's block on chap. 11 and I don't want to continue until I get it right!] I've had so much fun writing, hoping that maybe a few others out there will enjoy reading! The story diverges from the movie during the ballroom scene in Part 1. In Part 2, the newspaper article helps explain how changes have rippled out onto the political scene in Gotham. I include some images and media on my cross postings on Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/gotham25052 TW: violence - some of it described graphically, heavy themes including contemplation of death, non-consensual drug use, major invasion of personal space, explicit sexual content, smut This is fanfic, so of course I don't own any characters from The Dark Knight (Joker, Batman, etc.). The main female character is original.
