Fics like i tried so hard and got so far (but in the end, it doesn't even matter)

The deeper he goes, the quieter the city becomes. Patrol cars thin out. The glow of the firelight fades. Rusting carnival posters flap weakly against chain-link fences, their colours long bled away by weather and years. The skeletal outline of a Ferris wheel looms through the fog, jagged against the storm-washed sky. And lights are shining through the funhouse. Which means... Joker is circling back to his stage. The air is heavier here— thick with rot, damp wood, the faintest trace of sugar turning sour. Memories claw their way up, old battles waged on these broken grounds, laughter echoing in the dark long after the fight was over. Every muscle in his body coils tighter. And when the first maniac laugh cuts through the silence— high, sharp, and close— it doesn't feel like a discovery. It feels like an inevitability. Or Dick kills Joker for the second time.
