Dark Waters (Heath Ledger Joker x OC)
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.
