Common Tropes and Storylines
- Dr Quinzel becoming Harley Quinn is a storyline that is often expanded upon in fanfiction. It is a common in Batman source materials featuring Harley Quinn, but it also appears in fandoms where this character hasn't appeared, such as Gotham and the Nolanverse.
- Pregnancy fics are common given Harley canon grandchildren in the BTAS, and her canon pregnancy in the comics. Both of these events were mentioned in the source material, without been greatly expanded upon allowing creators to fill in the blanks.
