Book 1. Jachin was just a poor boy from the Narrows who struggled to build up a promising future, his mind set on big dreams having faith in breaking out of forlornness some day. But Gotham did never worship those who attempted to break out of its system so Jay had to adapt to the formidable rules of the city for achieving his goals. Inevitably, everything became chaos when fate punished him for his stubbornness and his idealistic aspirations. All it took was one bad day. (Pre TDK)

Book 2. To be flooded by ordinariness and drown in the mediocrity of Gotham City has always been Saffron Corteccia's nightmare of a life since her childhood. When she finds herself writing articles about Gotham City Metro' s new seat foam plastic for the least sophisticated tabloid in the entire city, even though the town is brimming over with criminal affairs, she is even a bit thankful to be pulled out of her dreadful boredom by the ultimate criminal mastermind the Joker. And in the end madness is like gravity; all it takes is a little push. (TDK)

Both books are included in this edition 

The Joker in this story is based on Mr. Ledger's stunning version in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight.

(I do not own the Joker or Gotham but I own all my OCs and Jack's background story)

Dark Waters (Heath Ledger Joker x OC) by GothamDarkWaters
11 parts Ongoing Mature
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.
Insanity by JordanneThrussell
28 parts Complete
What if Joker had a daughter? One raised by Gotham... She was abandoned. She's angry. She want's revenge. She hates her father... But does this mean she works with the side of the Angels? Well, let's just say, there's a reason her name is Sanity. --Note-- This story is going to be re-written eventually, while this story will be up until the other version is finished (I won't be publishing it until then) this story will be deleted once that is done. There will be notice for that, so you know what is happening, but chances are you may need to re-read the book a second time following this. Especially, since I plan on actually having a sequel to this one complete eventually. --As a side note-- Only 5 characters are my own: Sanity, Ryu, Avalon, Jeremiah, Genevieve. All other characters belong to DC, I cannot stress that enough. In addition to this I have also used actual quotes from the Original Comics for the characters that have said them, as well as used some of the same origins/storylines to give the other characters (DC's) more of an identity e.g. 'Death in the Family' storyline// Where Joker kills Jason... Or 'A Killing Joke' storyline//Barbara getting put in a wheelchair and the Joker's Origin... Finally, the Joker's 'real' name//'Batman Mask of the Phantasm'. There are other parts as well but those are the main ones and a few of the examples. (I don't know if the 'Batman Mask of the Phantasm' is the actual title to the animated movie but it is close enough, I think.) Won 2nd place in the 2015 undiscovered contest.
