The Waynes are headline news and Bruce must once again face the consequence of his father's evil. Convicting innocents to a life of insanity was only the beginning...published anonymously in the backstreets of Gotham, 'The Wayne Asylum' has revealed the appalling truth of Arkham's history. Evidence shows how the once trusted doctor, Thomas Wayne, experimented on patients in sinister partnership with 'Stag Enterprises'. Classified projects, tortured invalids and cover-ups. Now Gotham turns its hate on the only surviving Wayne, and Bruce must fight for his fortune if Batman is to survive. But John may have secrets of his own... Can Bruce believe the words of a madman? And what of the bats? Plagued by strange visions, is Bruce sane enough to save himself? Or will he too find himself locked within the walls of Arkham?
NOTE: Hypothetical 'Telltale Season Three' where Bruce follows the 'Vigilante Route', chooses 'Batman over Alfred', makes 'Tiffany an Agent', and stays 'Loyal to Harvey' in the previous game. Other choices are implied and referred to throughout the story. I've planned for 5 episodes each comprised of 10 chapters of varying length. (Currently on break writing episode 3.)

Love Lost, Love Home

Born to the Joker under the name "Ace", she was taken into the foster care system when she was four and the Joker dragged her along to his first appearance in Gotham. She was quickly adopted by Bruce Wayne. She grew up knowing him as her Father, and was there when he took in Dick Grayson, and then Jason Todd. When she was sixteen, and Jason was seventeen they began dating. When he was twenty one and her twenty, he went after the Joker, alone. He didn't come home. She scoured the city to find him, but for six months, they heard nothing. Until Bruce was sent a video tape. Rowan was devastated that Jason had been murdered. For five years she tried to recover, and suddenly, Scarecrow begins a complete take over of Gotham City with a mysterious stranger, only called "The Arkham Knight", who seems to know everything about Bruce. And about her. What will she find out as the night progresses?

Blue Archive: The Dark Knight Protocol
Please, read the description. After the Knightfall protocol he should have died so Batman could live on... however, it would seem that the universe isn't done with Bruce Wayne. WARNING: this takes into account the events of the Arkham games: Batman: Arkham Origins, Batman: Arkham Shadow, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Knight... fuck SSKTJL and Gotham Knights, they're not worth your time, money and attention. I am taking some things from Batman Beyond though, namely the Batmobile (in a way) and the general benefits of the Bat suit for this story. As for the design of said Bat suit it's going to be the Batman Beyond skin of Arkham Knight, because I'm biased and I think it works for Bruce Wayne, Terry McGinnis can keep the skintight suit as far as I'm concerned (also works out for him). This will follow the Blue Archive story mostly to the letter, though there may be some alterations such as Kivotos having regular humans in the city alongside its usual residents or maybe encountering some groups or characters earlier than in the story. And I might pull something from the movies as well, mainly the Dark Knight trilogy and "The Batman". Though I might take something from the others too (but not everything... Some Batman suits deserve to be forgotten). I should also mention that Batman's gadgets from the Arkham games will return in full force, yes dear reader... Every. Single. One.... I can't promise the same for the rogue gallery of both Batman and Batman Beyond, but I'm open to suggestions in the comment section. And without much else to say, enjoy.
A New Love (Bruce Wayne (Batman) x reader)
You're a doctor from one of the small hospitals in Gotham. You have a gift called eidetic memory (means you remember everything from what you see to what you read) and have good fighting skills in order to defend yourself due to the high rates of crime in Gotham. You use your good memory by studying all areas of medicine and use it to help people that don't have enough money to pay specialists. Bruce Wayne knows of you but you don't know him till he talks to you in one of his charity events. I started writing my first fanfic story because I read a lot of fan fiction were the reader is "batmom" usually the storyline is about how she was this amazing hero who fights with the batfamily. Of course different artists have their own unique batmom. But somehow all of the batmoms that I have read didn't really have what I wanted so it just inspired me to write my own batmom. Hope you enjoy my story.Complete
Into the Shattered Night
Nico finally gets out of that weird hotel, only for everything to be different. There are a lot more lights, and everyone is staring at this tiny screen, and the weird lawyer lady is watching him now. His dad visits sometimes, but not enough. His sister is growing distant, which makes sense, she had her own life. It still hurt sometimes though. Then things start to change. He meets the Waynes, for one. Gotham is a big scary place, when he's allowed out into it, but they're nice. And their dad is funny. A lot funnier than his dad.(Don't tell Hades he said that. Ms. Alecto keeps saying he'd smite Nico. Nico didn't believe it, but still.) So yeah. Gotham is fine. His life is... nice. Even when the lights flicker because Bianca is yelling at him, then Ms. Alecto gets mad at her for not controlling her emotions. Even when he's allowed to go outside and he sees ghosts. He doesn't tell Ms. Alecto about that, he doesn't want her to get mad at him. Everything is fine. Then these weird people started coming around their house, and Ms. Alecto started telling them to stay out of the house. Where were they supposed to go? Bianca says the library. But Nico kinda wants to visit their neighbors next door. They seem nice. Not weird at all. Not like his family. *** *** *** *Trigger Warnings will be in the chapters, there's gonna be a lot, just be warned* Cover isn't mine, I don't own any PJO, HOO, or DC plot or characters

Cloaked Intentions.
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.
