Summary
Bruce and Nadia would only have a moment together on Christmas Eve, before he had to leave her to join his parents at the theater.
They parted outside, in the cold, with just a hint of a coming storm blowing in the air.
It was as sweet as any moment they shared.
As Bruce drove away in his car, he did what he always did. He turned back to her, to give her his "I have you now" wink, through the window glass, and smiled his "I have you now" smile.
She didn't know then she would never see that smile again.

Gotham City, 1986. While the elite of Gotham retreat to their castles and the police scour the streets, a predator finds sanctuary in an abandoned water mill.

Summary
Warning: This story features themes of intense psychological bullying, mental health-related insults, animal theft, and a cynical portrayal of the Gotham legal system. It is a "villain origin" take on Selina Kyle and does not feature a traditional heroic outcome.
"Old Mother Anja, / Crazy like a loon! / Little Daughter Nadia, / Slipping the same way soon!"
In the decaying shadow of the South Dock Mall, Selina Kyle is tired of surviving on scraps while the Krameric family plays at being royalty. To the world, Nadia Krameric is a darling of the paparazzi; to Selina, she’s a poser in punk rags who doesn't know the first thing about the streets of Park Row.
When the "Crime of the Century" leaves Bruce Wayne orphaned, Selina seizes the spotlight with a single, calculated kiss caught on camera. But fame has a price, and Nadia isn't going down without a fight. Between a brutal hospital stay, a deal with a charming devil, and two missing cats, Selina is learning that in Gotham, you don't need a mask to be a villain—you just need a microphone and a grudge.Series

Summary
Seducing Harvey Dent had been easy, the sharply beautiful Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley told herself. It was Bruce Wayne that would be more of a challenge. Bruce was the kind of man who saw himself as moral. He would feel an inappropriate amount of dedication and fidelity to that Nadia. For Bruce such loyalty would not be for the television cameras. It would be sincere in his mind.
But her pheromone spores would cure him of that. Her pheromone spores were just one of the many projects that needed funding. Young Mr Wayne had more money than he knew what to do with. It was an injustice she would soon remedy.
As far as that Nadia chick goes, she was about to become yesterday's news.

Summary
Waylon Jones was born a "monster" in the eyes of the world, but in Arkham Asylum, he's just another tool for the bosses. When the word comes down to take out the snitch, Oswald Cobblepot, Waylon is more than happy to oblige. But between the Mad Hatter’s nonsensical ramblings and the bitter taste of a "pigeon" in a jumpsuit, Waylon realizes that even a monster has standards—and Jervis Tetch might be the next item on the menu.
