Summary
How does someone go from being a rational, law abiding good girl to being Harley Quinn? All it takes is tapping into what she really wants and that's more complicated than a little electroshock or a swim in acid. A rewrite of the story with less comic-booky elements, an exploration of how people sometimes become what they associate with. And of course, eventual smut because I ship them like crazy.

Summary
By request, sequel to Everything She Wants - probably best read first as I do stray from canon
Despite her best judgment, psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel got way too involved with her patient, the Joker. But she's still a law-abiding citizen and it was just a slip, right? She's going to pull herself together and get back on track. She's sure she is. He doesn't need people, and he's going to walk away. After he watches her a bit.
Note: I think the idea that Harley went crazy from a dip in acid or an ECT treatment is too convenient. I'm more interested in analyzing the very real psychological concept that whatever you surround yourself with can become normal, and that's how I write her.

Summary
Part 3 in the series which starts with Everything She Wants and continued with Off the Rails
The inevitable freak out from the Joker because catching feelings is scarier for him than catching the Ebola virus; plus lots of complications from an old enemy of his who shows up intent to wipe the smile off his face. You wanted excitement, Harleen…Lots of additional backstory on the Joker in this one, OOC and consistent with the other 2 stories.

Summary
This is going to fit into the Metamorphosis series eventually but I'm too lazy to figure out how to add it in the right spot and I gotta leave for work...haha.
Takes place after No More Words. Dr. Strange is fascinated by the psychiatric anomaly of the Joker's feelings for Harley and sees a rare opportunity to control the Joker, as well as any other metahuman sociopaths around. In so doing, he hatches a diabolical plan to end that relationship forever.
You really need to have read the previous stories to fully enjoy this, because I rewrote the heck out of the canon backstory. :-)

Summary
The Scarecrow comes up with a truth serum that prevents criminals from lying and starts to take control of Gotham with it. Seeing an opportunity to take down all the competition with ease, he slips it to a crooked sergeant at the GCPD. When Harley makes a mistake and gets infected with the serum, there’s only one way to stop her from spilling all the Joker’s secrets…but can he bring himself to do it?
I was thinking of one-shot ideas to tempt strangerthan with and I came up with this and greedily kept it for myself. ;-)
You don't have to have read the Metamorphosis series to read this but there are a lot of references to things that happened in those stories, and I left canon behind a long time ago.

Summary
One-shot. Valentine's Day as seen through Harley's eyes - set in the future.
Consistent with their characterization in my other J & HQ stories but doesn't require reading them first.

Summary
It’s 35 years down the road since the Joker met Harleen Quinzel and, much to both of their surprise, they continue to be alive, well and together. But how long will that last when they get word of a threat to their entire world that they cannot ignore, a threat so severe that they must work with their greatest enemy?
DCU/Westworld crossover, so it helps if you’ve watched both but it’s not necessary as I tend toward over-explanation in my writing anyway! Although, you should watch Westworld because it’s amazing. Same universe as most of my other stuff…the Metamorphosis series, A Cold Day In Hell, and Like Every Other Day. This follows all of those, so I highly recommend reading in order so that you get all the references to past non-canon events.
Big thanks to chickadee333 for making sure my Spanish was correct!
WARNING: We are far in the future here and no one is immortal. Bear this in mind when choosing to read. Not everybody dies, but not everybody lives, either.
