"He's lived a double life for months, but will one girl bring it all down?"

In the high-stakes world of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne is no stranger to secrets. By day, he's the billionaire CEO of Wayne Enterprises. By night, he's the city's most relentless protector: Batman. But when [y/n] Knight, a brilliant but emotionally guarded FBI profiler, is transferred to Gotham to assist the GCPD in tracking a growing wave of psychologically-driven crimes, her presence begins to shift everything.

What starts as a reluctant partnership soon ignites into something deeper. Their whirlwind connection awakens something long-buried in Bruce-but it also threatens the delicate balance he's fought to maintain between his two lives. As [y/n] is pulled deeper into Gotham's underworld-and into Bruce's orbit-she becomes a target. And protecting her might cost Bruce everything.

With Gotham's most dangerous enemies circling, Bruce must decide: can he be the man she sees in both light and shadow-or will loving her destroy the myth he's built... and the city he's sworn to save?

Is It Too Late To Have You? || Batjokes || by icantsurvivethis

Also available on ao3 as " You're All That I Want In This Life||Batjokes|| " [Cover Art isn't mine.] Bruce realises that he's in love with his arch-enemy, attempts to distract himself from him by making a deal with Catwoman; which leads to a very jealous clown. After a while though, he realises that he can't keep doing this forever, and acts on his feelings. But then Joker goes 'Joker.exe. has stopped working' because he is extremely Bad at dealing with his own feelings. This makes poor Bats second guess himself, and he too struggles with his own feelings. _______ This is extremely Bruce and Joker centric, I don't think Selina even has dialogue- so yeah, just a heads up. ________ For anyone who's been reading as it updates, I upgraded the summary to better suit the plot, it's not drastically diffetent, but is no longer the same as what I wrote 3 yrs ago. The chapters have no changes. PS: English isn't my first language. No explicit stuff (smut).

Little Beacon- A BATFAMILY X OC FANFIC by JumpyBox13

Julianne Cress is a foster kid, one that always jumped from home to home, so she's an expert in keeping under the radar and being unnoticed. At her school, Midtown Hall of Science and Technology, she's just a typical lonely nerd with only her best friends Bo and Tsuki to keep her afloat. At her internship at Wayne Enterprises, she keeps her head down low and does her work seamlessly, disappearing before she could get any attention for it. Even though she's the most brilliant student and intern in Gotham City, Julianne still has to keep her public image down along with her status so nobody suspects anything. Because after school , she's one of Gotham's most elusive yet most adored young vigilantes, one that even Batman can't catch. And the last thing that Julianne wants is to blow her cover. But all of that changes after a mishap in the internship, and suddenly her life is a thousand times different. She somehow ends up being the top intern in the whole company and suddenly is being mentored by THE Bruce Wayne, who has taken a big liking to her, and all of a sudden, she's living in the Wayne Manor after her CPS Agent took her out of her abusive foster home. But Julianne knows she won't be able to keep up the charade for long, because she's in a house with the world's greatest detectives. But she can sure damn well try, because her vigilante life also decided to blow itself up, leaving her tangled in the restraints from her past. ****************************************** BEST RANKINGS SO FAR :) #1 in Gotham #1 in Batfamily #1 in Batsis #1 in Damianwayne #1 in dickgraysonxoc

She thinks that there is nothing more that the city can do to shock her. Until now. When a new villain, calling himself "The Joker", shows up, she is put in more danger than she could ever dream of. Not only is she already in the spotlight as Bruce's personal assistant, she is also well know throughout the city as the Gordon's daughter, thus making her a prime target for the Joker's crimes. Will she survive her encounters with him? And will she and Bruce ever become closer than boss and assistant? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (A/N: Trigger Warning for mentions of violence and gore!

ᑌᑎᔕTᗴᗩᗪY by Lava98

Wanting to be a superhero and becoming one, are two completely different things. But becoming the opposite? That's way easier. And sometimes it's not on purpose. Fate didn't want me to be a hero. I was a fairly normal girl, growing up in Central City. A city where superheroes and super villains didn't exist... until the particle accelerator exploded. Many people were turned into these metahumans, me being one of them. Likely one of the only changed nine year olds at the time. My parents were both scientists for Star Labs, being two of the many others that died in the blast. Needing to get away, I decided to move to Gotham. A good city to hide in. Maybe it wasn't the best city to move to, but, in the end, I'm glad I did. In the crazy town, I was adopted by the two craziest people there. The Deranged Duo, Harley Quinn and Joker. "Rescued by villains, who knew?" I say. "Villains rescue fellow villains," Joker says. "Sounds funny coming from you," I scoff. "Aww, is that the way you should treat your saviors?" Joker teases. "I could've taken them," I scoff. "Why did you save me?" "We watched you take out the last group of thugs," Harley says. "We've been looking for a protégé, sorta like how Batsy has that sidekick, Robin, was it?" Joker grins. "We like you. You're funny." ...

Belong Here With Us (Wayne Family Adventures Fan-Fiction) by Beck_Stynes_027

"That name's familiar, right, Mr. Wayne?" Gotham's vigilantes find a mysterious young woman. Unharmed but shaken. No reason for being there. No origin or trace. She drops a bombshell; she knows Batman's identity and she's just outraced death. Her refusal to trust the Batfamily and connection to a man, whose very moniker spells danger, brings tension. Walls must crumble for her old self to emerge from memories of demons-past and present-that even she's reluctant to acknowledge. She may also just be a kindred spirit; damaged. Love, family, loss-and romance-are universal. Mourning alone, far from home, is where no one deserves to be. What chased her to them? Unimaginable worlds exist outside your comfortable cities or worst nightmares... Once reached: (not important but tons of other stories do it) #1 in Batman #1 in Crime Syndicate #8 in PTSD #1 in Oracle #3 in Justice League #4 in Alfred Pennyworth First draft.

She's trouble, she's chaos, she's everything he's been trained to avoid. But then there's the memory of a single night neither of them talks about - a night he can't seem to forget no matter how many masks he wears. And the more she pushes him away, the closer he finds himself standing. Because everyone wants Bruce Wayne. And Bruce Wayne... just wants her. ༺༻ dc. bruce wayne x oc. kinda fast burn but not too fast.

BATMAN: Fall Of The Dark Knight #Wattys2016 by AngelRay66

An aging Batman finally crosses the line and does the one thing he swore he would never do one night during a confrontation with The Joker and his girlfriend Harley Quinn. Bruce Wayne has to deal with the repercussions of his fateful actions as not only the people of Gotham turns on Batman but also his former allies as well, including Gotham's tough-as-nails new mayor and the first Robin Dick Grayson and Gotham's new police commissioner Harvey Bullock who replaces the retired James Gordon. His life slides into further turmoil after the sudden death of his longtime butler and confidant Alfred Pennyworth. Then, just when Bruce finally gets his life back on track with the help of former Catwoman Selina Kyle, he is forced to face an old and deadly foe Bane when he kidnaps Dick's wife and former Batgirl Barbara Gordon and their baby daughter Jane Marie. Armed with an armored Batsuit he created in case Superman ever went rogue called The Hellbat, Bruce Wayne goes into battle one last time as Batman to try to save those he cares about. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Given all the hoopla surrounding the movie Batman v. Superman, I wanted to write my own Batman and/or Superman story. After coming up with different scenarios for my story, including my own version of Batman v. Superman (which I still might write later on), I finally decided on this one (for now at least). I wanted to go beyond the controversial The Killing Joke-where The Joker shoots and paralyzes Barbara Gordon a.k.a. Batgirl-and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns that show a blatantly darker side of BM. Of course, it will be up to the individual reader if I succeeded or not.
