This is my take of how the Joker came to be. The Joker I chose to bring to life is of Heath Ledger's. I did a few research and used The Killing Joke's origin story but with an added twist.

I'll be mentioning characters from Gotham television series though. A couple of the circumstances in the story are inspired by a few of the Gotham episodes.

I would be writing my characters without dwelling on describing them physically. I wrote the characters hoping my reader would already know who and how they look like. Much of the discussed instances here are studied. I did my research on the geography of Gotham, the history, and referred to the comics or the television show Gotham.

What if what caused him to become the Joker made him forget her?!.... Meet Khalida (Muslim origin meaning Immoral, Deathless, Everlasting, Eternal) is just a girl with a very unique phobia called Haphephobia (fear of touch) and she has the strangest cure for that particular phobia.... she kills those that even try to touch her.... there are only 3 people in the world she's ever allowed to even come close to her in a physical manner without the "need" to harm them a friend she made when she was 10 years old Lex Luther.... her best friend since childhood Jonny Frost.... or as she calls him "Frosty" who actually had the tendency to HELP her kill those who tried to touch her all she had to do was say "hey Frosty!.... do you wanna build a snowman?!" and he went and harmed whoever she wanted harmed.... it didn't matter the reason but in his mind he was SAVING her.... and then there was the Joker.... a man she met BECAUSE of Jonny.... a man she wanted to touch her in ways only ONE other man has EVER touched.... and loved her.... she wanted the Joker to LOVE her in a way she has only been loved once before in her life and love her he did.... from the moment he saw her he loved her and her dangerous nature.... but to his surprise he didn't want her killing any more... he wanted to kill FOR her.... to PROTECT her from what her phobia made her become.... the Joker was jealous of her friendship with Frost and Lex to help him overcome that jealousy Khalida came up with an idea to give him a "pet/toy" to play with she even chose who the woman was and that was the true reason Harley Quinn was born

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

15 parts Complete

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).
