Summary
It's a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time for Ruby, seemingly another hapless Gothamite forgotten by the system, but for the Joker, his late-night escape from Arkham has him stumbling across just the kind of person he needs in a cleaned-up Gotham.
He's just got to convince her that she needs him first.
[Set approximately a year after TDK.]

Summary
People are like fruit.
All their actions, their posturing are just layers of skin, if you will. Once you peel back those layers, though, get under all that skin, their skeletons, their reasons why, become exposed.
When the Joker learns of Annie Dent, a relative of the DA in town just as his torment of Gotham begins, he spies a ripe, fleshy peach just begging to be peeled. [Set during TDK.]

Summary
The Sanctuary is a place where being too ambitious gets you crushed and looking too weak gets you eaten alive. Dawn kept herself right in the middle, sweet enough to be liked yet smart enough to be left alone, but one screw-up is all it takes to land her right where she never wanted to be: on Negan’s radar. And once he’s looking, the whole Sanctuary starts watching too. Now, she’s neck-deep in dirty politics, swirling rumors that are tanking her reputation, and a power game with the infuriating man at the top who never backs down and is just as obsessed with control as she is.
She hates the way he looks at her like he’s already stripped her bare. Despises how one moment she's carving into his ego in a way no one else dares to and the next he's smirking at her like he knows every secret she’s trying to keep hidden. She wants him gone before he gets any closer. He wants to see what she looks like when she breaks and begs.
But if Negan thinks she’s going to fall in line? He can choke on that damn bat.
