Fanfics (I Want to Write): "Doctor, Doctor" — a DC Universe AU.
Arkham Asylum promises to cure what ill the mentally and emotionally disturbed, even if their reputation is less than steller... Dr. Leslie Thompkins takes a job there hoping to fix that. However, she begins to notice things seem off, even for an insane asylum; patients are going, and the ones who do return are worse off than they were before. With the reluctant help of a patient — enigmatic serial killer, Edward Nygma — Dr. Thompkins soon realizes that a particular doctor may be the cause.
Dr. Jonathan Crane has long had an obsession with fear, from a psychological, personal, and sadistic point of view. He portrays himself as a professional psychologist, working to help his patients. That couldn't be further from the truth. In order to satisfy his obsession, he runs terror-inducing experiments on the patients of Arkham during the late-night hours, subjecting them to a range of horrors, from different forms of abuse to his potent "Fear Toxic."
Luna Koval was bored with her life. A young woman from a nice middle-class family, she decided to check herself into Arkham Asylum to get a sick fix. Once she sets her sights on Dr. Crane, she can tell something isn't right about him, and she is determined to become his next "victim."
Dr. Harleen Quinzel has always dreamed of being rich and famous. She has also long had an interest in the human mind. After getting her PhD, she decided to work at Arkham Asylum, hoping to use the high-profile patients there as fodder for tell-alls and phony self-help books to raise her status. When news comes that Gotham City's infamous criminal, The Joker, will be coming to stay, she schemes to ensure that she will be the doctor to "treat" him.
