Cloaked Intentions. by xXPlebySimpXX

Title: Shadows and Secrets Blurb: Gotham City doesn't forgive and it doesn't forget-and neither does the man watching over it from the rooftops. As a forensic psychologist brought in to help the GCPD profile Gotham's most dangerous criminals, you've always relied on logic and evidence to make sense of the chaos. But when your cases begin crossing paths with the city's infamous vigilante, Batman, your world gets darker-and more dangerous-than you ever imagined. He's infuriating, secretive, and impossibly brilliant. And he's got a knack for showing up when you least expect it. As you dive deeper into Gotham's twisted underworld, the line between ally and adversary begins to blur. When a new threat emerges, one that ties your past to his present, the stakes become terrifyingly personal. In a city where trust is a weakness and love can be a weapon, the question isn't whether you'll survive Gotham-it's whether you'll survive him. Because in Gotham, secrets don't stay in the shadows-they burn.

The Dark Knight (Y/N x Bruce story) by autumnfarmer13

Gotham City is holding on to a fragile peace. Crime is slowly being taken down thanks to Batman, Lieutenant Jim Gordon, District Attorney Harvey Dent, and Sergeant Y/N-a smart, tough cop with a strong sense of justice, much like Batman. Y/N has worked with Gordon for over 10 years and earned her place in the GCPD through hard work and loyalty. She's one of the few who knows Batman's true identity: billionaire Bruce Wayne. Over time, she's grown close to Bruce, both at work and on a personal level. Their relationship is deep but secret, because revealing it could be dangerous. Then the Joker arrives, spreading chaos and pushing Batman to his limits. Y/N is caught in the middle-sometimes literally in danger, sometimes emotionally torn. She becomes the link between Batman's vigilante ways and Gordon's lawful approach. Her instincts help reveal parts of the Joker's plan, but she's worried. Bruce is struggling, and she's not sure if their love can survive as Gotham falls into darkness.
