clowns to the left of me Joker's to the right (here i am stuck in the middle with you)
read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/j5dNw3t by JedidaJo The day after the “No Man’s Land” order had been lifted, Delia Quinzel left Gotham City with only the clothes on her back and her infant daughter in her arms, and she’d never looked back in the decade that had passed since that day. She changed her name, went to college, and created a happy, normal life for herself and her daughter. But ten years later, she receives two invitations calling her back to Gotham – one for a celebration of an engagement, and the other with much darker intentions. Stepping foot back in into Gotham is always dangerous, but even more so for Delia, as it means risking all the secrets she’s kept for so long, but ultimately it’s rude to refuse an invitation… and stupid to ignore a threat.

character life: 
movie history:  
Harleen Quinzel was born to unnamed parents on was born on July 20, 1990 in Gotham City (in the comic books and in the animated series her parents were named sharon and nick quinzel, in the  animated series sharon was her alcoholic mother and her father was a deadbeat dad who was also a  greedy gambler and con artist) in the movies her mother is i believe not mention in the movies and her father is unnamed . (also in the book books she has three younger brothers barry, frankie and ezzie, in another universe and timeline and different comic book harley has a sister named Delia Quinzel , in that same universe she has a daughter with the joker who she gives up and the joker doesn’t know she exist named lucy)
her family life was highly dysfunctional since her drunkard father constantly tried to abandon her even though she always found her way back home 
sometime during her childhood her nothing good for father sent her to the orphanage run by a nuns while there  her attitude landed her into multiple trouble to the point that Harleen smashed a nun with an oar. 
once she reach high school Harleen  became known as a model student, achieving excellent grades as well as extensive gymnastics training. Because of her efforts, she was rewarded a full scholarship to Gotham City University where she majored in psychiatry under Dr. Odin Markus (comic book : she was an  Honor Student and a Gymnast. She attended Gotham University so that much was in common with the movie however she initially went to college for Veterinary and Biological Science, but for some unknown reason she left that field to pursue Psychiatry. She excelled in her field, eventually earning a place as a psychiatrist at a prominent hospital, but her interest in criminal psychology led her to transfer to Gotham City's famed Arkham Asylum) not long after her graduation, Quinzel's theoretical thesis made a huge success that it led to her transfer into the job as a psychiatrist intern at Arkham Asylum
the joker one of Harleen patients imprisoned there by none other then Batman,because she talked to him so much at one point she took a particular interest in him, to the point now she regularly visiting and speaking with him. 
As their sessions went on, Quinzel was gradually manipulated by the psychopath to the point where she eventually fell in love with him, and the Joker got her to smuggle a machine gun into the sanitarium, leading to his escape. 
Before leaving however, the Joker subjected to Harleen shock therapy, he electrocuted and tortured her until she was completely no longer sane, to the point where she was insane this only greatly affecting her mental state even further
Harleen chased down the joker because she wanted him to take her with him, so they went to  Ace Chemicals there the joker asked Quinzel to  pledge an oath and was asked if she would die for him. She responded in the by allowed herself to fall into the vat of chemicals after she jumped into the chemicals the joker almost well he considered leaving her to die but promptly changed his mind and jumped in after her, pulling her up to the vat's surface. He then kissed her, and Quinzel awakened with the same frontotemporal dementia that her lover received via exposure to the chemicals and oxygen deprivation.there she got the name harley quinn the name was born (in the comics when she realized his intention, she had struggles against him, but he shoved her into one of the chemical vats and watched her sink to the bottom. Afterwards, he drained it and found her inside, alive, but changed. She had lost touch with reality) 
in the movies the joker giving her a red-and-black Harlequin costume (in the comics she choose the costume herself)
on October 13,2014 a fellow crime boss monster came visited a strip club owned by the Joker, greeted by the Joker himself. the joker asked for harley to come over once he noticed  the other’s male’s lustful attraction towards her pole-dancing, calling her a "bad bitch" and greatly angering the Joker.. Monster T, having become aware of the Joker's sarcasm, attempted to assure him that Harley is his girl, and that he wanted "no beef." The Joker, however, just shot Monster T in the head with no waring.
after the two left the joker’s trip club, the joker drove with harley in the passenger seat in Gotham City street. they were being chased by batman , harley decided when the batman jumped on the car hood that shooting the bat would be a good idea (not that would do anything since his suit is bullet proof) the joker tried to attempting to shake Batman off, made a sharp turn that sent his car flying off the road and straight into the water knowing full well harley would not swin, the joker abandoned both the car and harley (she was saved by none other then batman himself but before that he knocked her out because she was trying to stab him) 
after batman saved her , he put her on the hood of the batmobile, he  checks for a pulse, but does not find one. With very much reluctance, the bat proceeds to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to try and revive her. A pleased Harley recovered and began to kiss him. Her advances were rejected and she was taken by him into captivity
Quinn was transferred to Belle Reve supermax
after putting several guards into into the hospital, Quinn was eventually given her own special cell to keep her locked up and to keep the guards safe. she was put was put inside a small electrified cage inside of a barbed fence to keep her in contained.
she wasn’t given any comforts or clothing; she used the bed sheets supplied for her gymnastic routines
while in prison the  sadistic guard, Hunter Griggs, usually force-fed and tortured Quinn,so he has earned her anger over the prolonged months 
one day while she was in prison she was visited by a government  official (since she was recruiting villians for task force x ) harley was meditating when argus director Amanda Waller
task force x was a group of villians that undertake high-risk, covert missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences (the task force was eventually nicknamed suicide squad by one of the members deadshot
harley during their current  mission try to escape on a helicopter with the joker (her chip has been disabled) their helicopter is hit with a missile. As  both her and Joker both attempt to make their escape, a sudden explosion throws Harley out of the helicopter and she lands on the rooftop below and watches the helicopter, with Joker still in it as it crashes into a nearby building
the suicide squad defeat Enchantress and her brother Incubus
she is back in prison but this time she is enjoying her new espresso machine, the wall outside her wall explodes, allowing The Joker's gang to break in and storm the prison. Harley's cell is forced open with a buzzsaw, allowing Joker to enter and reveal himself to Harley he is still alive. Harley embraces her once lost love and Joker tells her that they're going home
harley relationship was board line abusive he has he's beaten her, thrown her out of cars, and buildings, as well as constantly berating her and giving her the cold shoulder all while manipulating her into loving him . 
sometime after they return home , the joker grew bored of harley and broke up with her, he had one of his henchmen throwing her out into the streets.
she adopted a hyena, which names Bruce after Bruce Wayne. (she isn’t aware that he saved her and both put her in jail and that he is batman) 
for a time she never publicly said they were broke up until she drove , stealing a truck and sending it hurtling into Ace Chemicals, resulting in a massive explosion.
the few she did tell didn’t believe her so she was left largely alone and friendless 
she would soon discovered that declaring her independence came with consequences everyone who she had ever wronged deciding that it was open season on her and they all came after her 
she was couldn’t do anything in peace not even  to enjoy her favorite breakfast sandwich without being attacked.her past has finally caught up with her 
the Black Mask captured her , she wasn’t sure what she had done to anger him . she had managed to get out of the situation by offering to find his lost diamond for him , he let her go but told her to find a Cassandra Cain
she found Cassandra in Gotham City Police Department, she breaks into the police department makes her way pat the guards towards cain cell and She breaks her out, but her actions also result in the release of the other prisoners in the cell-block, resulting in a three-way fight between her, the escaped prisoners and the other mercenaries sent to try to capture Cassandra Cain
during the fight harley’s skills are tested and she wins
she has to lay low with cain for a while and bonds with her 
she and the birds of prey win the fight against the black mask 
sometime after that the birds of prey go get tacos and she and cain ditched the rest and set off in their own adventures and during that time she finds bruce her  hyena in chinatown and she takes cain under her wing 
Sydney : 
harley has no memories she had no memories of the joker or the trauma she has been through , not even memories of the birds of prey or task force x/suicide squad. cause she has no memories she isn’t aware of her real personality or that she isn’t sane . 
her personality with no memories is like her personality before she meet the joker and went crazy. she back to her kind none crazy personality. 
she back to working as a Psychiatrist however she isn’t a Psychiatrist for criminal like she was before she became harley quinn 
harley believes she lived in Sydney her whole life and that she is an only child and she had loving parents

When I saw that mean beating my father, I... as I looked down on that... the dead body... I felt sorry. And scared. But what scared me was that I wasn't sorry for killing him.

JOKER (2019) AU BIO RELEASE
This verse is alternative universe story of my own design based on Joker (2019) featuring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck. Due to the differences with on this Joker’s origin story it was thought best to develop an AU story for Harleen Quinzel where she is an admirer of the Joker’s work.
Tumblr media
Getting your foot in the door of a community psychiatric role was far easier when you weren’t a woman of much money. From a breadline background, Harleen and her three brothers struggled through school life as their single mother paved the way for their education as best she could while their father rotted away in prison. She tried her best to strive more for herself but Gotham was rough. Due to lack of funds the blonde had to stay at home to complete her doctorate, only getting the chance from her gymnastics scholarship. She hadn’t made any friends throughout that time, Harleen hadn’t been able to get away from her family and walking drunk to her family would have brought back too many dangerous memories of her father. Frankie and Ezzie would have been too young to remember that and they’d be too young to understand why Harleen was following in his footsteps.
Her new job came with a few perks though. The money that was coming in just about covered what she needed it too and she saved enough to eventually move out. Sure her new apartment was far from new. The lights short circuited half the time and it took hours for the water pressure to settle after she washed the dishes, so she could have a shower. But despite the lack of sunlight and hand-me-down furniture Harleen had a place of her own for the first time. So she took the opportunity with both hands. Harleen dove into her work with such passion, hoping a gleaming resume within the community would eventually land her a job in Arkham State. That was the true dream, but Harleen always saw it as just a dream, and enjoyed her work with those she met. Each patient was special to her, every importance placed upon helping them as best she could so Gotham could thrive again. But that was the last thing Gotham’s billionaires wanted for the city, as they could lose out on their wealth.
That’s when the cuts came, Harleen was one of the many community psychiatrists to bid her patients farewell, not because she wanted to leave the job but because Gotham didn’t want to pay for a more civilised society and her patients couldn’t afford that either. Harleen had to keep up her rent payments, she couldn’t move back home, but she couldn’t leave her patients to suffer, some needed their medication closely monitored before the did something they would regret, or even worse have that cut along with her help. Some of her patients just wouldn’t survive without their medication, or at least a substitute for it. Using the last of each session to set up meet ups from home, Dr. Harleen Quinzel did the best she could to keep her patients in therapy, running the sessions from her own couch. She wasn’t taking any payments in through this work, not wanting her landlord to want a cut of her profits. It wasn’t a job from home if you weren’t making money. It pushed the sessions underground. Risky, but worth it if she found another way to subsidise her rent.
With the news of a clown killing three of Gotham’s, no Wayne Enterprises’ wealthy employees, spreading like wildfire it gave her an idea to help promote the work, shed some light on the reality of Gotham and make enough cash to keep the rent turning over. As she took to the streets, there was a rally towards Gotham’s greatest, to the billionaires to let them know that the city wasn’t going down without a fight. There were a few of Harleen’s old patients who had been released from her care there, and she was welcomed with opened arms. They were all in dire need of action, but if you couldn’t force action, you had to make it yourself. Lewis, Buster, Wilde and Harleen herself formed a pack, with Harleen bringing them together. As their former psychiatrist they looked up to her, and she didn’t want to disappoint, but she wanted to step away from that role. It wasn’t like it was officially hers anymore. Dropping the doctor, the blonde became Harley Quinn, sharper, smarter and wasn’t going to be taken for a fool by the cops. Together, the group were the Jesters for the Clown of Gotham City.
It wasn’t a movement more so a dedication to the mystery man who seemed to be literally taking down Gotham City where it hit the most; the billionaires. They wanted to do something similar, in his honour, but they needed cash to do it with. The first port of call for the Jesters was to raid Gotham Bank which was planned for a few days time, the same night the tragedy was aired live on TV. It wasn’t planned to be that was but as the gunshot shattered across the screens, one of TV’s most beloved personalities shot to death Gotham stood still before the crowds ran riot. Overrun with madness the coast was almost completely clear, taking enough money to last them at least a few months. It was far from billions but a start. If the clown, now shown to Gotham as Joker, hadn’t been preaching his message they all could have easily been arrested. But it was because of him they stood a chance to carry on and they owed it all to him.
After stashing away the cash she’d made Harley took to the streets, almost twirling and chanting in the chaos, in awe at the chance of seeing the man in the flesh for the very first time. He proved the world could change, that you could be the change in the world when the world was messy and didn’t listen. He showed clearly how the world played against you when you did something they didn’t like, because the billionaires ran the street. That was a message Harley took to heart, so much to a point where she got the Joker’s makeup tattooed on her forearm, the blue diamonds, and red smile reminding her to turn her life around by changing the world around her. That’s when the doors in her life seemed to open up.
Shortly after the Joker was committed to Arkham State Hospital, a job opened up in their psychiatric department. The move happened so perfectly it was like it was meant for her. At the time, no one outside the Hospital was made aware that the job vacancy had come around due to Joker murdering his last psychiatrist. Keeping her cards close to her chest, Harley kept to long sleeved dressed, jumpers, even going back to her glasses give the illusion she was the same Harleen Quinzel who had worked for the community department in her interview. But she was far from that woman now, sure she lived in the same place, but Harley Quinn was a new person and that came with a new agenda. She wasn’t all about helping everyone now, it was all about him; the male known as Joker, the man who’d set her free. If she played her cards right, keeping every asset she had close to her including Lewis, Buster and Wilde, she could break out the Joker from Arkham State herself to give him the freedom he gave her. Harley just had to get the job secured first.
