Can I just say I love this concept and I had way too much fun with it…

---

• You
  have a fairly large manor to yourself, because your parents passed
  away when you were a teenager. Your
  family isn’t very high up in society, not on the top, but you
  manage your parents’ company well enough to live comfortably. It’s
  just… lonely, even with your servants. Maybe that’s why, when
  you found these poor people nearly dead in an alley, you barely
  hesitated in taking them in.
• All
  things considered, your servants are not happy when you show up with
  seven
  dirty, disabled former circus members and announce that they’re
  going to be staying here from now on. Still, the servants do as you
  say and clean everyone up. You
  ring a doctor, and the one you assign to their care is pretty good
  with keeping secrets. You still have to pay him off, because he’s
  a bloody crook. At least everyone gets taken care of, though.
• Surprisingly
  enough, the first one who opens up to you is Doll/Freckles. Even
  though they don’t really talk about what happened to the gang,
  they cry a lot and thank you for saving everyone’s lives and
  promise that they’ll be good if you don’t kick them out or
  punish them.
• You
  agree. Whatever they’ve done, it’s in the past. Nearly dying,
  they’ve all suffered enough. Even once everyone is better, they’re
  welcome to stay with you for as long as they can bear your company,
  which you’ve been told is frankly insufferable. Everybody shares a
  smile when you say that.
• When
  they start to feel better, Peter and Wendy are likely the first to
  start doing things like household chores. They help the maids and
  the butler, who at first are a little irritated – maybe more than a little –
  with these two tagging along. Eventually, though, the servants grow
  to enjoy having them around and are grateful for the help.
• Jumbo
  joins them soon after, despite not being quite back in peak
  condition yet. You have to remind him to be careful, and whenever
  you do, he gives you this odd half-smile and nods. He’s a mystery,
  and he frightens some of the maids at first, but once he earns their
  trust, they’re glad to have him around.
• The
  one who sulks a lot initially is Beast. It’s hard to get her out
  of that, in part because she’s haunted by bad decisions and
  doesn’t want to talk about it, and she’s too busy feeling guilty
  to take any of your attempts at kindness aside from continuing to
  live in the house. Once she’s ready to accept the smallest gesture
  she thinks she deserves, which isn’t much, she hugs you and tells
  you to go talk to Joker if you want to find out what happened.
• You
  can hardly believe how well Dagger gets on with the cook. Apparently
  the two of them play darts together, and Dagger’s teaching the
  cook a lot of pointers. They’re not even that similar in
  personality, and yet, the cook’s talking about taking on Dagger as
  an apprentice. Life really has a way of taking strange, strange
  turns sometimes. At least the two of them are happy.
• By
  the time Joker’s ready to tell you what happened and how they got
  to the point where you found them, he’s fully prepared for you to
  never want to see them again once you know the truth. At
  the end of his story, he’s in tears, and some of the words out of
  his mouth are in the order of, “Dunno ‘bout the others, but I
  know at least I’d be better off dead.” Nothing you can say or
  think about him is worse than anything he’s said to himself.
• It
  baffles you. How could these people who have bonded with you and your
  staff, been so sweet, shown you immense gratitude, have done such
  terrible things? You really don’t know what to think. After Joker
  gives you the whole tale, beginning to end, you sit there for a
  moment… before nodding and saying you need some time to think.
  What he tells the others is something akin to that they should
  either be prepared to go to jail or go back to the streets. None of
  them know which would be worse.
• At
  the end of the day, while you’re not sure if you forgive them for
  everything they’ve done… at the very least, the absolute
  minimum, they are sorry.
  There’s genuine remorse in them. If there was anything they could
  do to take back everything they did, they would do it. You’ve
  grown close to them in the past months; you know that even though
  they may not be good people, they’re not bad either. They’re
  just… people. They’ve nearly died, they’ve been through
  enough, and their own consciences are going to punish them for the
  rest of their days worse than anything that anyone else could do.
  Forgiveness might be unattainable, but you still care about them.
• There’s
  ice in your voice when you tell them that if they do anything now
  like what they did in the past, they’ll be turned over to Scotland
  Yard so fast their heads will spin. None of your staff know the full
  story, and you don’t tell them. The circus members have to remain
  hidden, which means they’ve only got the staff, each other, and
  you for company. Maybe that’s enough. Even though you’re not
  sure for a while if you can trust them when they say that they
  promise not to make the same bad decisions, they seem sincere. Good.
  Because you won’t hesitate if history repeats itself.
• After
  a long while without incident – years, maybe – that care you
  felt for them turns into love. And love, into trust. You still can’t
  let them leave the manor, but they’ve earned your trust. They
  continue helping the staff and supporting you in anything you do. It
  almost seems like a family.
• You
  don’t ever feel lonely again.

SFW

• Joker would meet you, his very beloved s/o, at one of his performances–you’d have volunteered to help him with his act, your eyes wide and bright and full of excitement as you took in his Circus and everything it had to offer, and his breath would just be taken away because… Wow, you were beautiful. He’d stutter, very uncharacteristically, and ask you for your name only to melt at the sound of your voice.
• He’d be so unaware of Beast’s jealousy as he asked you to stay inside the tent after the performance; he wanted to give you a tour of the Circus, he’d say, as a ‘thank you’ for volunteering to help him with his act and a blush would spread across his pale face as you giggled and told him you’d ‘love to’. He’d take your hand in his as he showed you through the tents, cages, and stands which littered the area around the clearing and, when he realized, he’d blush furiously and jerk his artificial hand away from yours.
• He’d have a heart attack when you grabbed his hand back and told him you didn’t mind
• Joker would invite you to his next show, hoping to God above that you would arrive and, as he saw your beautiful face in the ground again later that month, his heart would erupt in joy and his smile would be so wide that it would hurt his cheeks. After many more months of this, Joker would finally gather the courage to ask you if you wished to be in a relationship with him.
• “Took long enough, you goober”
• He’d be so happy and so in love with you, he’d refuse to ever let you go and he hoped and prayed you loved him just as much as he loved you–and he hoped and prayed that you would never discover the horrible truth behind this, his Noah’s Ark Circus…

NSFW

• Joker would actually be rather timid during your first sexual encounter, silencing his noises of pleasure in embarrassment and shakily touching your beautiful body in admiration. Please, just praise this nervous child–all he’d ever need is to hear you tell him he was doing good, that you felt good, and(above all else) that you loved him. He’d be such a blushing, happy mess.
• He’d much prefer giving oral than receiving simply because of the embarrassment he feels about being touched and heard in such a way, he would be sloppy and quite inexperienced in such a thing but he would do his best and would put all of his feelings into it and that would make it all the better. When you did give, though, the would bite the material of his fake hand and whimper quietly into the air, he’d desperately avoid eye-contact and try to come to completion as quickly as possible to save himself from being in such an incomparable position for any longer than needed.
• He’d prefer positions where he can see your face, but he’d be embarrassed by his own facial expressions so he’d typically take you with your back to his chest or with your eyes covered.
•   He’d die if you topped him, a seductive expression on your face as you forced him to beg and whimper for more
• I give him a 7/10. Joker is a very kind and good lover, but he is very self-conscious and that can sometimes be annoying or hurtful because it makes you feel like he doesn’t trust you which he absolutely does. When you explained this to him, he’d be hurt deep within his chest to as he promised such a thing untrue and vowed to you and himself that he would do whatever it takes to prove to you otherwise.

Eden: More courting headcanons? I hope you don’t mind me answering this one!

• As he travels so often, time snaps at his heels – and Joker is very aware of that. He won’t spend time chasing after someone who he’ll only ever see once. But, if they were a member of the Circus or even just a member of the audience who happened to watch their performances every so often, then maybe he’d give that relationship a chance.
• God forbid his own circumstances come to light. The thought of getting rid, no, leaving his partner strikes fear through him. Not even getting captured by the Yard matters to him, he just doesn’t want his partner to get involved in such a thing. Joker knows how wrong what he does is, but it doesn’t mean that he’ll willingly divulge a secret to his partner.
• He can’t offer much. Not like the rich men who can seemingly throw away as many wads of cash as it takes to court someone. Though conscious of how he can’t afford lavish gifts, he can still conjure quite a surprise with flowers that sprout from his cane or – if the person he’s trying for allows him to – he’ll dedicate the whole show to them.
• The man’s quite conscious of himself. For one thing, they’d most likely only ever see his stage persona, so what would they think of him without the makeup and hair extensions? The loathing he may feel about his own body – but of course, he has to convince himself that if they would truly love him, it’d be for all of him.
• Joker doesn’t see himself as much of a romantic at all… meaning that he asks absolutely anyone and everyone who’d be willing to help. Peter and Wendy think at first that it’s a right joke that he’d come to them and Doll pretty much only taunts him for coming to a kid about it. Somehow only Emily is willing to help… and he doesn’t feel too comfortable talking to a milksnake about romance.
• It comes to a point where everyone decides to force him out on one of their free evenings to “chase after his beloved”, as Doll gushingly put it. Not that Joker knows how to take someone out for the evening, let alone if it’s appropriate to suddenly call for someone so suddenly, but if he’s shooed out then he really doesn’t have much of a choice.
• He’s well aware that taking someone out for the night would be considered ‘extremely discourteous’, as rich blokes seem to put it, but it is the only time he has for them. Even worse so, all he can provide for them is rounds of drinks at a music hall. Obviously not the most refined of adventures, but he supposes it wouldn’t be true of him to be so posh anyways.
• Joker admits all of his shortcomings in a night to them. Honestly far too quickly for someone to tell a newly found, or possible, partner. Though, if they wanted to have him for who he is, he’d readily set them up on a best of a throne that he can.
