Corruption. Brutality. Deception. Injustice. Four words that describe Gotham city in a nutshell. Sure, they may have their Dark Knight, but he's not the sign of hope the people need. He's a product of what the debauched city is capable of creating in times of desperation. He's harsh, unorthodox, and can turn entirely apathetic when it comes to extracting information and serving his 'justice'.

Then, there is Eve.

Decently new to the unwritten policies and way of life in Gotham, she's untainted and impervious to the corruption wrought crime capital. Eve has been aiding Jim Gordon with a few cases privately - due to her being a private investigator - but for her discretion, he has remained unwaveringly silent, despite the rest of the precinct hounding him for his suspicious efficiency in case closing.

A mob war is peeking over the horizon, threatening to run the streets with blood, bullets and a high body count. With the mafia families and rogues on high alert, the last person they would ever expect to dismantle their carefully organised operation is an uncorrupted, virtuous woman from the sunny city of Greenville, South Carolina.

Filled with crime, ass-kicking, deception, love and the dramatic flair of Gotham's top drama queens - otherwise known as the infamous Rogue's Gallery - 'One Winter Knight' tells a tale of Evangeline Winter unwittingly intertwining herself within the tendrils of Gotham's criminal underworld, whilst unintentionally catching the eyes of a certain rodent dressed vigilante and an ex-DA turned crime boss whilst she's at it.

And when does our audacious story begin you ask? Quite simple really.

One cold winter's night, in the notorious, dark city of Gotham.

(Two Face/Eve, Batman/Eve and a bit of Riddler/Rebecca pairing)

'Gotham.....I'm in Gotham.......I'M IN GOTHAM' Yes, yes you were 'What, what the actual hell is happening, is this a dream? Am I de'- You looked over towards the alley you just emerged from 'No....no no no no no no no' You slowly made your way deeper into it 'Please, for the love of whatever deity exists here please don't be him' You found the body 'Please be a copycat, don't be the real.....don't be...' You slowly turned over the body of the man that attacked you, the man you killed "Oh..... Oh no" The face paint gave him away, as you looked into the now dead eyes of the man. That classic maniacal grin spread across his features even in death. You just killed the Joker. Now with almost every hero and villain you know gunning for you, either for their form of "protection" or to just kill you, only one thought crossed your mind. "Well Fu"- *Currently being re-edited since the beginning of this book has some spelling mistakes I have over 1k reads, am I famous now? Can I like, be a jerk and get away with it? Look at all these PEASANTS, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW A KING IS AMONG THEM-...I need some time to calm down this happy feeling in my chest. Btw, I don't own any art in the story. If the owner of any pictures in this story want me to, I will take those pictures out and replace them. Thank you. It's my first story as well so it probably won't be that good compared to other stories like this, but I hope you enjoy. My goal is at least 69k words, I'm such a maniac. Also I just realized I spelled Harley Quinn as Harle Quin in tags, and now my stories next to a bunch of Seven Deadly Sin stories.

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.

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.

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?

(Read my "PLEASE READ" section.) The person you could always count on, the person that saved you, the person who allowed you to experience love- Jason Todd- was dead... right? Y/N was best friends with Jason Todd for as long as she could remember. When he was suddenly adopted by Bruce Wayne, he left her. But, he came back for her when she finally escaped the traps of her hellish father. Y/N lived, trained, and grew her powers with Batman and the others. Until one day... Jason died, and so she left. She had given up her powers a while back, and now she sings at some bar. Y/N silently struggles to hang on, haunted by her past. What will happen when the mysterious new vigilante- Red Hood- makes his appearance in Gotham? -PLEASE READ- 👇 The storyline is based on Under The Red Hood. You can still read if you don't know the plot, but it would definitely flow better if you knew. This site has a summary: https://batman.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Under_the_Red_Hood anyways, it's only relevant for the beginning parts of the story. Do with that what you will :) This story may discuss, mention, or hint at triggering topics. Such as physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. There will always be a warning before any of these things come up in the story! Aside from being a Jason Todd fanfic, this story will also delve into the effects of traumas (some will be part of y/n's backstory.) I advise you not to read if you're uncomfortable with that. Y/N does use she/her pronouns and is a generally feminine character. Feel free to replace the pronouns with whatever! GUYS PLEASE. I started writing this in like '22, and just added when I was bored. I did edit the first couple, but they still suck ass compared to newer ep's. SO KEEP READING, YOU WON'T REGRET!! 🥺🤞🥺🥺🤞🥺 All characters (besides Y/N) belong to DC comics! But y'all knew that.
