The Joker was once a little boy named Jack. Since they were in diapers, Eva Hartman was his best and only friend through the hell that they both endured behind closed doors. 

When they are suddenly separated, as far as Jack knows, she has abandoned him. What happens on this day is the final blow to Jack's psyche, and soon the Joker is born. 

Twelve years later, Eva and the Joker end up in the same place at the same time. Due to the misunderstanding of what really happened that day when they were younger, seeing her face fills him with the rage of being abandoned and left with a void in his heart and a lack of faith in anybody but himself.

Will she be able to explain to him what really happened that day, before he kills her? Will learning the truth change the rage and pain he's been holding onto for over a decade? 

What if being with his childhood friend ends up taking him back to a time of innocence and joy?

 Will she derail all that he has planned for the city of Gotham?

55 parts Ongoing Mature
"My Harley always wanted children, a baby girl to be precise. It was quite annoying..that little fantasy she had built in that crazy head of hers that we would become a faaammily." The uncomfortableness in the air begin the choke my emotions. "She had a list of names she'd had written down in a little journal. Sometimes she'd share them with me like I cared to hear. There's one in particular that caught my attention one night," he leaned in closer to me letting a light chuckle escape his lips. "Secret is, I lovvved it and deep down she knew I did." Lucy Jae Quinzel had questions but wasn't getting the answers she longed for. One bad day.....that one bad day unlocked a secret that would change her life forever. ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ This book is about "THE JOKER" & also "HARLEY QUINN" expect, foul language, dark themes such as suicidal thoughts & attempts, murder, violence, abuse, sexual assault, detailed blood & gore scenes & anything my dark mind will come up with. I WILL NOT put trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter. To me, it ruins the chapter. So please, if you think your running into a dark scene your uncomfortable with, skip over as much as possible. Other then that enjoy lovelies 😘 Also, I don't own any rights to DC comics characters. I also don't own any of the pictures of the characters I make up as I go further into the book. I'm using The Joker & Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. I'm just switching up the placement of their story a bit (the birth of their daughter)

Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Jason Todd have been best friends since they were little kids, before Jason fled to the streets of Gotham. Both raven-haired kids grew up with identical pasts and backgrounds, and both connected with each other because of it. The two honorary siblings quickly became adoptive siblings after Jason fled to the streets after his dad went to jail and mom died, thanks to Sabine Dupain-Cheng adopting him at Marinettes begging and pleading, much to Tom Dupain's anger. Jason had Sabine and Mari's hearts and love for him, and the two had his, but never had Tom's, not that he cared. He hated the man because of the way he treated Mari and Sabine, which was like his bio father did to him, and Tom hated him because he'd lived in the streets and wasn't biologically part of the Dupain-Cheng family, so he got treated the same, but the abuse was 10x as bad. All Jason and Mari cared was that they had each other, and that they would be ok if they had each other by the other's side. But everything changed when Tom had finally had crossed the line, and that was the line that would change the siblings forever. 10 years later, Jason was adopted by billionaire Bruce Wayne aka Batman, has 7 other adoptive siblings, and is Red Hood... whenever he isn't traveling the world, looking for his beloved Pixie Pop. Marinette thinks her older brother is dead, and she lives alone with Tom. Hawkmoth is defeated, and the young Gothamite is broken beyond imagining. Can Jason, and maybe the rest of the Wayne family, bring the light back into her eyes and help her? Or will everything get a whole lot worse for her and Jason? Class salt, abusive Tom, assassin Nino, depression, broken Mari, broken Jason, overprotective Jason and Wayne family, Maribat, Bruce adopts Mari Note: I do not (unfortunately) own dc or mlb. All credit goes to the owners, and none of the pictures are mine, either. This is my first book, so I hope you enjoy!

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.

"Stop, please just fucking leave us alone!!" Harley called out at the top of her lungs. It had been a quiet night until they left the cabin in search of help. They couldn't run, they couldn't escape. Harley was shoved to the ground, hard. He slammed his fist down on her chest with so much force the air in her lungs escaped. Harley gasped for air. The sounds of fabric ripping pierced her ears and more tears fell fast. Max laid sprawled out a few feet away. His motionless body sent chills down Harley's spine. She wasn't sure if he was still alive. "Please be okay," she whispered to herself. She could feel the blood flowing down her face and pooling to the back of her throat. She coughed out, "Please stop, why are you doing this?" "Because of you." He growled. The pain was too much to bare. Then, everything went dark. -- About six months later Harley and her family moved to Florida. After the incident, her parents felt she needed some time away from Ohio and the cold.

Would her new friends get her through it? Or does her past come back to haunt her? Warning: Graphic content, sexual, and physical abuse.
