Batman will stop at nothing in order to keep Gotham safe. Even if that means almost always ignoring his needs and self-preservation in order to do so.
Maybe the severe lack of sleep built up over the years is why he ended up with the idea of escorting the Joker into the Batcave instead of an Arkham cell. Maybe it's the fact that when he looks in a mirror after sixty years on this Earth the man staring back at him and everyone else looks a bit less than half of that age.<br />
Maybe Bruce really is crazy... because after gunshots to the head, leaps from 50 story buildings landing flat on the concrete, and suicide attempts galore, he can't seem to die.
Or age past twenty-five for that matter.
What's the point of truly living when death is no longer on the table?
Little does Bruce know the answer to his pain has felt like a partial cause to it all along.
Set in a DCU (after the Killing Joke) where the Batman, Joker, and a few others are immortal by strange and different circumstances. Barbra Gorden wasn't shot and paralyzed. The events after are my own interpretations.
(Though I wish I did, I do not own DC; or any of its amazing characters! I just own the idea for this fic.)

If Walls Could Talk // JAYTIM (HOPELESS FOOLS #1)
Tim doesn't plan on talking with Jason when he goes to crime alley, because why on Earth would Red Hood be there, right? ("Stupid fucker" Tim thinks looking back) That was mistake number one. Mistake number two is actually pouring out his emotions to Jason about his family (Like how much he hates Bruce). His third mistake was not turning off his tracker which led to a very awkward confrontation the next day at work. The first mistake started the whole situation and fucked up his life in a bad and good way (he guesses it had something to do with how sad and lonely he was before Jason came in like a wrecking ball). Realistically he knows that he could've handled the whole situation better, but what's the fun in that? It's way more interesting to become friends with the guy you replaced, used to have a crush on and stalked BETRAYING Bruce. To add to that he gets so high that he forgets his feelings until forever. Procrastination at its finest. The best part (but Tim's least favorite part) is that everyone knew about his feelings that he himself didn't know, but they were completely oblivious to how much he was hurting, except Jason. Funny how life works, huh?Complete

Atlas
(Y/N) moved to Gotham to give herself and her son Eilis a fresh start. Sure, people thought she was crazy for leaving Metropolis for a crime run city, but she had her reasons. While she had hoped to meet with the Big Bad Bat, she wasn't expecting to also befriend the multimillionaire playboy and his children, the Waynes. Not to mention tons of other heroes, villains, and people in between. Without realizing it, (Y/N)'s slowly begun her ascent to the top of the food chain. Somehow becoming the most influential person in Gotham. And all she wanted to do was thank Batman for saving her life a few years back. "I thought I would crumble under the weight of the world, but Bruce carried the sky without ever saying a word. He was my Atlas." Also if u question their age, just don't. Whatever age you want to image him is fine because I image him at like 30 to 35 but he would probably be more like 40s. And the same for (y/n) because she's like 25 to 30 in my head. So don't think about it to much 😘Complete
You Never Cease To Amaze Me, Bats
At first, it was a regular night for Bruce as he went out through the night as the dark vigilante, Batman. As time ticked by, the night grew - stranger - beneath the bat signal's light, was a note. From the Joker. Months pass before Batman is seen out on the streets again. But he's different, strange. But most importantly, what is up with his eyes? ----- In this world, Batman doesn't have a Robin. He never has. He sticks to himself; even the Justice League don't see him. No one sees Batman without a mask except Alfred. Batman is darker, already slightly twisted in the head - he's spent his whole life, fighting people like the Joker, people who don't deserve his pity. So he doesn't give then them any. He holds grudges even beyond the memory of others. He hates asking for help. ----- "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."Complete

Beautiful Chaos
A lonely young women's life changes the very night of Murray Franklin's murder, on live television and it is a change that her heart will never forget. When she spots a man passed out and bloody, in an alley, that same night and even when she sees who it is, even though she hesitates for a moment, that doesn't stop her from trying to help him, despite him resisting it. Even though her mind wills against it, her fragile heart finds a lifeline in his. She soon comes to realize that this man is so much more than this "Joker" person that's all over the news, but a kind and beautiful soul that has suffered greatly, as has hers. She comes to find that he has a brilliant light that glows brightly inside of her very own darkness as the moon gleams in the night's sky, for even the moon would not shine so brightly, without the darkness that surrounds it. 🌙 A/N: I just want to say first, that this fic will never be abandoned! I promise. It's already done anyway but needs editing. I update every 7 to 10 days ♡Complete
Don't Fear the Reaper
The Second Giant War was gruesome. With only 3 of the 7 left alive, they demigods of prophecy left the camps. They were unable, or maybe just unwilling, to be in the places where their friends once walked. They chose to escape the world of demigods while they still could. They wanted to try for normal so that maybe, one day, they could forget any of it ever happened. They wanted peace and safety. Nico... well, Nico had other ways of coping. ------------- Nico had had a long life. 16 years old, plus however many had passed in that cured casino had left little joy in his life. He had lost his grandparents, his mother, Bianca, his friends, and then Hazel... he missed her more than he could bare. He only knew his sister for around a year before he had lost her, and not a single day had passed in the last two years that he hadn't thought of her. He couldn't go to either camp or the underworld without feeling like his chest would explode from the pain. He knew she was in a better place. Her and Frank were in Elysium with Jason, Piper, and the rest of the heroes that died in the wars. She was at peace. Maybe she had even managed meet his mother and they were watching him now... though he honestly hoped they weren't. They would be disgusted by what he had become. --------- Nico x Batfam (unrelated to my Demigods in Gotham series)
You're His Favorite Joke
You've gotta watch out for the quiet ones and they hardly come quieter than shy but pretty Harleen Quinzel. New to Gotham City, the fledgling psychiatrist is starting her career by assessing new intakes at the infamous Blackgate Prison, a place so dangerous and ugly it makes the rest of Gotham look like a garden in springtime. Clashing immediately with the head doctor, Joan Leland, doesn't help. Let's face it-there's very little in her life to make her smile, let alone laugh. However, on the upside, she is starting to meet people. There's her new neighbor, Slade Wilson, a handsome and mysterious older man-and he finds her just as attractive. Although they definitely have chemistry, he is kind of lacking in the sense of humor department-and then he's also so secretive about his profession. Then on Christmas Day, like the best present ever, she meets someone new. Someone who makes her laugh. Someone who really cracks open her shell and brings her out of the grey, dismal mood it seems she's been in forever. So he's not conventionally handsome, with his green hair and his really, really pale complexion-what does that matter? He's got a wonderful sense of humor, he makes her pulse race, and is he ever a stylish dresser. Only problem is, he's a new intake and a probable mass murderer. Is this some kind of a joke life's playing on her? And how can she believe he's serious? And then there's Slade, who is not the kind to give up easily. He's been away, busy with a squad with suicidal tendencies, but he promised to come back for her.Complete
