Welcome to the writing journal of bathshua. This journal houses my fanfiction, as well as possible future original pieces and even artwork.

I've had a change of heart and the good news is that the journal is no longer friends-only. The reason being that I want to be able to link things from this journal when cross-posting. So, if you would like to keep up with my postings here, feel free to friend this journal.

If you're interested in the woman behind the madness, my personal journal is bathshua. Feel free to friend that as well.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy what you find.

Cheers.~

Title: Off the Clock
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Genre: Slash, possibly AU, since it's set post-TDK
Rating: NC-17
Pairing/Characters: Harvey/Joker, Batman
Warnings: M/M sex, masturbation, some violence
Word Count: 3,399
Disclaimer: They don't belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: Written for the Harvey/Joker Kink Meme: "Mid-job sex". I love ya, mundaneone! <3 I also found inspiration in the song "The World Is Not Enough" by Garbage. Don't ask how that happened, because I'm not sure either.
Summary: After being hit with Crane's latest brand of fear toxin, the pair decides to get their hands on a sample of it with which to create an updated antidote. (Note: This is set a couple of weeks after my previous fic, "Down and Out".)

( Together we can take the world apart... )

Title: Down and Out
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Genre: Slash
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Harvey/Joker/Crane
Warnings: M/M sex, masturbation, a teeny bit of bloodplay
Word Count: 2,763
Disclaimer: They don't belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: Written for the Harvey/Joker Kink Meme: "Harvey/Joker/Crane, Ph33r-toxin-ed-out threesome". Dear gods, this took me WAY too long to write. Again, school is totally to blame. My apologies, dears. ALSO: check out a beautiful fanart here, by rams_eng. Based on this fic, it's the first picture posted in the linked entry. Go see it!
Summary: Two former inmates of Arkham track down an old friend in hopes of settling some scores. But the good doctor's always prepared.

( Two words: Hot Mess )

Title: Initiation (2/3)
Author: bathshua
Fandom/Universe: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Rating: R
Genre: General, possibly AU since it's set post-TDK.
Character: Harvey (Two-Face), The Joker
Pairing: Joker/Harvey if you squint.
Warnings: Bloody violence
Word Count: 1,255
Disclaimer: All things Batman don't belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: I’ve always wanted a glimpse at Harvey’s fate post-TDK, so this is what I saw when I tried to take a look.
Summary: Shortly after the events of TDK, Harvey wakes up in Arkham and gets an invitation of sorts. This is the second and much bloodier chapter. (Also, sorry it took so long between chapters of this. Basically, my excuse can be summed up in two words: school started. Hopefully the final part won't take me as long to get done.)

Title: It's My Party
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Crack!, quite possibly. Just so you're not surprised by the ensuing insanity.
Character: Harvey (Two-Face), The Joker, Dr. Crane, Batman, Thomas Schiff, unnamed henchmen
Pairing: Suggestions of Harvey/Joker, nothing explicit
Warnings: Some slashy undertones and the Joker in drag. Not sure it needs to be a 'warning', but always err on the side of caution.
Word Count: 1,171
Disclaimer: All things Batman don't belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: I hardly ever write crack, but for some reason this just seemed like it would work out well. Please don't slaughter me. And for those who are wondering, I was inspired to write this when "It's My Party" by Lesley Gore popped up on my MP3 shuffler, and uh, the rest is history. Again, please don't slaughter me. I will say that if anyone illustrated this, I'd love them forever. They could have my unborn children and everything! Or just lots of e-cookies. Those work too.
Summary: It's Harvey's birthday and some friends have thrown him a party.

( You would cry too if it happened to you... )

Title: Royal Conversation [1/?]
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Rating: R (only for language)
Genre: General and AU, given the revelation of Batman's identity
Pairing/Characters: The Joker, Bruce Wayne
Warnings: Language
Word Count: 2,079
Disclaimer: They don't belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: I just wanted an excuse to use a quote I posted for the Six-Word Drabble Meme, which is awesome. And also, to prove to myself again that I can occasionally NOT write pr0n. It can be done. Also, I may or may not continue this. If enough people like it, I may. We shall see!
Summary: What do I think would happen if the Joker eventually discovered Batman's identity? Probably not what many people would expect me to think.

( Like anyone else, the man had idealized visions... )

Title: Stalemate
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Harvey(Two-Face)/Joker
Warnings: M/M sex, language
Word Count: 2,631
Disclaimer: They don’t belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: Written for the Batman Kink Meme: "Harvey ties the Joker's hands behind his back, puts a gun in his mouth, and fucks him. Threatens to shoot." I also was greatly inspired by mistressxd's smexy artwork. I was listening to "Possum Kingdom" by Toadies when I wrote most of this and it’s fair to say that it helped me write it as well. Parts of it really fit in that scary, sick, demented and violent way that is the Two-Face/Joker experience.
Summary: The two rendezvous at a special place in the city: it would be a romantic evening.

Title: Initiation, [1/3]
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Rating: PG
Genre: General, possibly AU since it's set after TDK
Character: Harvey(Two-Face)
Pairing: Joker/Harvey if you squint.
Warnings: General creepiness
Word Count: 640
Disclaimer: All things Batman don't belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: I felt that I needed to take a very short break from the pr0nz and write something a little more...general. I've always wanted into Harvey's head post-TDK, so this is what I saw when I tried to take a look.
Summary: Shortly after the events of TDK, Harvey wakes up in Arkham and gets an invitation of sorts.

Title: Winter Thoughts
Author: bathshua
Timeline: Post Symphony of the Night
Spoilers: None really.
Genre: General, Hinted Romance
Warnings: None really, though if you hate Maria, you likely won't want to read this.
Disclaimer: Konami owns all.
Comments: This was originally going to be longer, but owing to time constraints on several fronts, it's now a short little thing. I happen to like Maria, so I wanted to write something with her, just because.

Title: Of A Knight
Author: bathshua
Timeline: Symphony of the Night
Genre: General, philosophical
Spoilers: Um, none really. It’s all just speculation after all.
Warnings: None really, unless you want to count mentions of Walter/Joachim and allusions to Dracula/Olrox.
Disclaimer: Konami pwns. I pwn nothing.
Comments: This is the result of, well, boredom. Uh, besides that, it deals with the ‘Olrox is Joachim’ theory. I find that theory to be particularly interesting, so I decided, why not work with it a bit and see what happens? And so I did. It’s more or less original, right? Even if it’s not really, I’ll just pretend like it is.

...

My land, Hyrule. From here, I can see that her skin is pale and the lines of a great and terrible pain run deep along her face. Though she appears to slumber in her gilded casket, I cannot shake my anxiety. Where has the beauty gone? Will we ever recover it?

Hyrule’s splendor faded so quickly, stolen silently from her. The color drained from the grass, the water tainted, the life driven from her arms. I keep asking myself, what could I have done? Could I have saved her? Not without him.

The twin phantoms of fear and guilt haunt my dreams. And I cannot chase them away.

Out this window, beyond this chapel, my last hopes lie. Will he make it to the funeral? As I whisper my final goodbyes, I shudder.

Here comes the hearse.

Title: Remembrances
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Two-Face/Joker
Warnings: M/M sex, language
Word Count: 2,068
Disclaimer: They don't belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: Written for the Batman Kink Meme: "Pushy-bottom!Joker dressed in Rachel!drag". I just couldn't resist.
Summary: Set post-TDK, Harvey meets up with a lost love in the Narrows. Well, sort of. You probably have figured out by now that I'm a huge fan of the Joker's knack for mind-screwing. Dunno what that says about me, but, there you have it.

( Insert witty cut text here... )

Title: Showtunes
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Joker/Self (heavy suggestions of Batman/Joker)
Warnings: masturbation, slashy overtones, violence, some language
Word Count: 1,876
Disclaimer: They don’t belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: This was written for the Batman Kink meme. I also was very much inspired by loony_lucifer's exquisitely delicious fanart.
Summary: Set during the interrogation scene. The Joker likes it when Batman hits him. He likes it a lot.

( And I am master of a nothing place, of recoil and grace... )

Title: Toxic
Author: bathshua
Fandom: The Dark Knight (aka Nolanverse)
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Nurse!Joker/Two-Face
Warnings: slash, masturbation, bloodplay
Word Count: 2,507
Disclaimer: They don’t belong to me. Sure as hell wish they did, though.
Notes: When damnedflowers requested a fic exploring the whole hand sanitizer phenomenon, I was already working on this. But I finished it solely because of the request. ;) I don’t finish fics very often, you see.
Summary: Explores the happenings in Dent’s hospital room that compelled Nurse!Joker to use hand sanitizer before leaving. Oh, you naughty, naughty boys!

Series: Castlevania
Title: Of Lambs and Wolves
Author: bathshua
Timeline: Post Lament of Innocence
Spoilers: Um, perhaps character role spoilers?
Warnings: Inferred happenings of the m/m persuasion. Nothing explicit though.
Genre: Um, General? I don't know...
Disclaimer: Konami pwns.
Comments: This is so totally a "Little Red Riding Hood" spinoff/variation for the "Fairytale" challenge, if you couldn't tell. There's not much more to say about it, except that I would love to see fanart depicting a similar situation. But uh, yeah. I wrote this while I should have been doing my Roman Provinces research homework. So, enjoy it!

Series: Final Fantasy
Title: After Hours
Author: bathshua
Spoilers: None, really.
Warnings: Implied male/male relations
Genre: Romance/General
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII or any affiliated material.
Comments: Tseng is called back to the ShinRa building late at night. Apparently, the President has something he wants him to look over. In a nutshell, just some Tseng/Rufus goodness. And you know, as I wrote this, I realized that I really don't write this pairing often enough.

( After Hours )

Series: Castlevania
Title: My Favorite Nightmare
Author: bathshua (aka Kai)
Spoilers: Yes, indeed there are. As a matter of fact.
Warnings: Possible suggestions of Cornell/Ortega, nothing hardcore. Some philosophical musings.
Genre: ANGST, liekwhoa.
Disclaimer: Konami pwns all.
Comments: I really wanted to write something for the "Obscure Characters/Pairings" challenge theme over at cv_fanfic, because it just had so much to offer. I chose Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness because, obviously, it's a very overlooked game. And, I like Cornell and wondered what he thought about things post-game, especially pertaining to Ortega. Be warned that this contains some philosophical musings. Hey, angst works well with philosophy. And I was in a very philosophical mood while writing it. So sue me.

( Do nightmares ever really end? )

Series: Jak
Title: Just Because
Author: bathshua
Spoilers: None
Warnings: None
Genre: General
Disclaimer: I do not own Vin, or the Jak franchise.
Comments: Just a little Vin-centric bit of drabblage originally written for fairy1234 as part of a meme. It's way beyond 100 words, but it's okay. I'm sure no one minds all that much. Hope you enjoy!
