    Summary

    She tells herself she isn’t sure if he’s there at night, even as she strains herself to hear any sign - telltale boots, a cough. Sometimes she holds her breath, in a vain attempt to see if she can hear his.

    Only her own heartbeat, thumping away slightly too fast in her inner ear, ever greets her. There’s nothing interesting for him to see, she says to the drab roof, the whisper of it echoing out too far, too soon, giving away something more than she intended. Maybe even more than that.

     

    "Can you feel it when someone else is watching you? A lot of people thought so.”

    Summary

    Alina Vale dreams of escaping her dead-end life as a diner waitress, finding solace in painting Gotham’s haunting shadows. But when a routine trip to the bank turns into a living nightmare, she finds herself face-to-face with the Joker—a man as captivating as he is terrifying.

    As his twisted games unravel her defenses, Alina is forced to confront the pull he has over her, a collision of fear and desire she can’t control. Trapped in his world of chaos and power, survival means facing not only him but the darker parts of herself he’s brought to life.

    A story of obsession, control, and the intoxicating allure of letting go.

    Summary

    Miguel has seen multiple universes where you die and he's unable to intervene. Even caused one of them to collapse. Universes where you're his wife, or you have his kids, or you're his co-worker, or you never knew him at all, like in his home universe.

    When he finds the only universe where you end up surviving all the canon events, an anomaly universe, it only makes sense that you should now belong to him.

    Almost like the universe gave you to him.
