“Touch me,” Keller says, and Jesus, it’s still a thrill, familiar and welcome and wanted, even with Chris’s eyes still glassy from the kill and Ronnie’s things still lying around the room, waiting to be boxed up and thrown away.

Summary
“I see I have interrupted. Do not mind me, feel free to put the record on.”
An easy conclusion to make, Shinji decides, as the record is the only object amidst the chaos and the disarray that seems to have been placed deliberately. Dissecting Aizen’s words, moves, facial expressions was like second nature to Shinji at this point - he spent over a century doing that to Aizen Sōsuke of his memories, trying to prove to himself that the man is neither magical nor telepathic, just very smart and very observant.
“No,” Shinji responds. Whatever was truly important to him, he always tried to keep out of Aizen’s reach, didn’t want it to be tainted by him. Didn’t work out so well for the people he cared about, but maybe he managed to still save some things. Chopin’s waltz in C-sharp minor, for one.

Summary
It's been two weeks since Joker returned to Gotham. Two weeks since he met Batman on a rooftop, dropped a gigantic, baby-sized bombshell, and then promised Batman he was back for good.
And yet, to Bruce's frustration, he still hasn't made a single move—hasn't gathered his people, hasn't made any appearances around town, hasn't so much as looked at a knife.
That is, until, today. When he decides to shoot thirteen people in the head and set an entire city block on fire without giving Batman a fighting chance at stopping him.
Yeah. Batman's pissed.

Summary
Crazy, they call him. Unhinged and insane. But every part of him is an act put upon to incite the worst of those around him.
(or rather, an au where the Joker struggles with chronic pain and sensory issues, with a side of Batjokes).

It's not all that surprising when Joker compromising his way into a real relationship with Batman doesn't extinguish the draw of authority figures.

Summary
For let it be morality to make him succumb to his own desires – his servitude and forfeiture to something greater than himself.
“Joker.”
“No one can hear us, Bats, look around! We’ve still got time before old Jimboy gets here! We can leave, right now, and be back in just a few weeks. Oh, hahaha, I can just picture it! So far away from the city that we can’t even hear them calling our names.” Joker’s practically shaking with excitement. “It would go off without a hitch, what with our two heads put together? I get shivers just thinking about it.”
Or the one in which Batman and Joker go on a holiday to Romania. Things don't go as planned and I still can't write fluff without angst.

Summary
Set a few months after the events of As We Go Along, Bruce and Joker are now in the throes of a reignited commitment to each other. Though, in many ways, much remains the same. While Bruce navigates all the consequences that come with such a choice, Joker finds himself caught in his own unexpected internal battle, grappling with lingering side effects from Hush and Scarecrow’s torture. A gate from the deepest corner of his mind is threatening to crack wide open and Joker is willing to go to any lengths to weld it shut.
As the two men battle both their minds and what it means to be together, relationships are tested, and Gotham gets caught in the crosshairs, for better and for worse.
The sequel to As We Go Along.

Summary
Bruce will never admit to it, though. He’ll never say the words, ‘I got off to watching the Joker come,’ even to himself. No. He’ll bury it into his psyche so deep that he won’t even be certain it happened in the first place.
And around and around they’ll go.
