[discountsoysauce]

Eli succeeded and then went right back to failing like 5 days later

yeah your ship may have kissed but did they try to kill each other?

[howl-fantasies]

A/N - @immortal-velociraptor wow. Take a seat my dear, a cup of tea or coffee and let's talk about it.

Wouldn't get along is an understatement. Clearly. Strange's name is enough to give Y/N the absolute creeps.

She heard of the doctor when he took Arkham, and, being the curious little thing she is, she had to investigate. I mean... Who in their right state of mind would accept to become director of this hell hole? Wasn't it suspicious? Of course it was.

She met a lot of her contacts, stole every records she could and basically made a whole GCPD investigation about him, Jim would be so proud, if it wasn't for her own personal interest and if she hadn't done it using every illegal trope she could.

Anyway, what she read, heard, saw was enough to answer a few of her questions. The dude posed like a Saint and a freaking philanthropist, in a city like Gotham... Lmao nope, no, no fucking way, it was 100% fishy.

When Ed got out of the asylum, she broke in his hideout only to find better answers. And oh dear, how he didn't disappoint. He told her about Indian Hill, the freak factory Strange opened down here, the tortures he did to be able to make Oswald so damn inoffensive.

Her next stop was Cobblepot's house. Poor little bird became livid when she asked about Strange, he wanted to cut his throat so bad.

Her investigation led her to The Court of Owls. And that was when she understood she had to be extra paranoid and cautious while pursuing her research but she was also thrilled because she had something huge against him. A secret and a weapon she wouldn't hesitate to threaten him with if needed.

It happened a few months later, when he sent Glavan2.0 aka Azrael. The lunatic managed to kidnap her and bring her in Strange's office in Arkham. Man, she still was furious about their first encounter.

She wasn't the only one looking for information about him. Strange heard of her, how she was a ruthless, cold, and sadistic killer. He even had grand villain plans for her.

So he tried many things that day, to test her potential as a new test subject. Mental torture, physical, putting her in the same room as one of his brand new rogue.

He even tried to inject her the serum he gave to Jim in hope she would blurb everything she knows about him, other rogues, the GCPD. For what? Barely nothing. Y/N knew Strange kidnapping her was a possibility. As well as him torturing her or using some weird things people wouldn't be able to suspect to force her to cooperate.

The first time he tried to interrogate her, she stabbed her own leg, using the pain to distract her mind.

The second time, when he tied her to her chair, she still managed to break two fingers.

Fine, the third time, he laid her on a table, her legs, hands and neck secured so she wouldn't be able to break anything.

She threatened to bite her own tongue and even started to draw blood. He was enraged. Telling her he wouldn't hesitate to question her until she stupidly kills her own self.

She was many things but not suicidal. It was at this moment she choose to use her joker : his implication with the Court, what she found out and how she managed to create a program which would send the whole city, the state, and even the fucking whole country everything she had found. The only thing preventing it, being a code someone (Ed in fact) had and never told her, just in case.

Riddler's instruction was to send everything if she didn't contact him and solve one of his riddles with one of her unexpected answers. He would know if it wasn't her.

Strange felt trapped. And started to panic even more when Y/N used her own mental torture on him. She wasn't a psychiatrist, but his panic was palpable and gave her enough to work with.

Thanks to Victor's impeccable timing, his incredible stalking skills and the tracker he put under her skin when his obsession with her started, the hitman knew exactly where to find her.

And, when he understood something was wrong when she didn't answered her phone, he went berserk. Zsasz with his girls created one massive breach in Arkham when our little lethal simp used a rocket launcher to break her free, as well as machine guns, grenades, and basically any weapon the couple had which could be wear somewhere on his and the girls bodies.

Strange ran before Victor could introduce him his twin guns and his favorite blade.

After this encounter, Strange became a very touchy subject to bring into a conversation with her or even Victor. In fact, even with Ed and Oswald. One newbie tried once, being just a bit too curious. Poor soul found himself threatened by : a gun put against his forehead by Y/N, the sharp glass of a broken bottle put against his throat by Oswald, another gun against the back of his head by Ed, and a blade cutting his tongue, courtesy of Victor.

Strange would be THE hush hush subject with the four. 😂 Uniting them all against him.

Hello dearie! Could I have a Jekyll x reader prompt where the reader grew up close friends with Victor and has a deep passion for science (but since she is a lady, she wasn't allowed to attend higher education, though it doesn't stop her from reading/studying anything she can) she helps Victor and Jekyll with their experiments but he is very standoffish towards her because he thinks he's a monster, but she explains that he is a beautiful soul. And just lots of fluff? Thank you so much dearie!

Pairing: Henry Jekyll x ReaderFandom: Penny DreadfulWarnings: angst

A/N: so, idk how but this turned out to be 6 and a half pages. I literally didn’t realize it until it was finished haha. anyways, hope you like it my love

                                                          *****

“Ugh!This isn’t working, Victor!” Henry threw the phial against thewall, his face red with anger.

They’vebeen trying to find a cure for Lily’s “sickness” for weeks now,experimenting on various subjects, both male and and female, bothhealthy and sick. But they’ve yet to have a breakthrough. Nothingseemed to work and if it did, only for a couple of hours. Nothingpermanent.

Andthat’s what they needed.

Apermanent cure.

Victorstood in front of the, now dead, patient, his hand holding his chin,deep in thought.

Whenhe asked Dr. Jekyll for help, he thought that they’d find a cure in amatter of weeks. Now it’s been two months and they barely managed to get anyresults.

Whathe needed, was a third pair of eyes.

Andthere was only one person he considered equally as intelligent ashimself and Jekyll.

“Ihave to go. I’ll be back in a couple of hours,” he grabbed his coatand walked towards the door.

“What?!Where are you going?”

ButVictor was already out the door, leaving a confused Henry and a deadpatient behind.

                                                             ***

“My,my.. Dr. Victor Frankenstein,” you leaned against the wall,cleaning your hands on a towel, a small smile set on your lips, uponseeing your childhood friend, “What brings you to this side oftown?”

Victorturned around, matching your smile and approaching you, but thenquickly stopping before he could put his arms around you, noticing all theblood on your dress.

You followed his look.

“It’snot mine. I might not officially be a Doctor, but I’m the best theyhave here. And it’s not always pretty, as you well know.”

“ThatI do know, my friend. It’s been too long.”

“Whichisn’t my fault,” you looked at him from under your eyelashes, asmirk on your lips.

Indeed.

Itwasn’t.

WhenVictor had begun his experiments, he had neglected your friendship.He could be glad that you weren’t someone who held grudges, especially not when it came down to Victor. He’s been good to you,through all the years. He valued your opinions when others didn’t andhe didn’t see you as an invalid, just because of your gender. Youwere an equal to him.

“Ineed your skills, (Y/N).”

“DoI not get any further information?”

“I’mafraid not.. not here. I will explaineverything once we’re at the lab.”

Yousighed and turned around, looking at all the patients that werewaiting.

“Youhave one hour. Then I will have to go back.”

Victornodded.

Anhour was all it would take to convince you to help him, he was sureof it.

Youhad been fascinated by the idea of bringing back the dead just asmuch as he was. Or had been. If you knew that he had succeeded, you’dbe intrigued for sure.

                                                             ***

“Henry!I have the solution to all our problems!”

Jekyllgot up from his desk and approached him.

“Finally!Where have you been?”

Youjoined Victor at his side and smiled at Henry.

“Dr.Jekyll. It’s good to see you again.”

Henry’sjaw dropped slightly. He hadn’t had the first idea where Victor hadrun off to, and while it made sense that he had asked you to come, hehadn’t expected it.

Andhe certainly hadn’t been prepared for it.

Whenhe realized that he had been staring at you like a moron, he quicklyclosed his mouth and nodded, keeping his distance.

“Miss(Y/L/N).”

“Miss(Y/L/N)? We’ve known each other for years, Henry. Don’t be soformal,” you approached him and got up on your tiptoes to kiss hischeek once, “I’ve missed you,” the second your lips touched hisskin, you could feel him stiffen.

Victorcoughed slightly, feeling like the third wheel in the room.

Andhe really wanted to get to the experiments. You’d have time to catch up, eventually.

“Idon’t mean to ruin the moment, but we should get to it.”

“Iagree,” Henry took that opportunity to get some distance betweenyou two and walked back towards his desk.

“Alright,then. What’s this about?”

“Youmight want to sit down,” Victor pointed towards two chairs andwhile you eyed him suspiciously, you did what he asked.

Hetried to summarize everything that had happened since you last saweach other in a few sentences. He told you about his first failures,his successions and his final mistake, Lily. He told you everythinghe could about her and it felt like you were children again, whenVictor told you about his crushes. You listened like you always did,wrote down every important piece of information and when he told youwhat he and Henry where trying to achieve, you finally set down thepen and sighed.

Hadyou expected something insane?

Absolutely.

Hadyou expected it to be this insane?

God,no.

WhenVictor saw you hesitate, he grabbed your hands.

“Youare my last hope, (Y/N). I need this cure to work. I just.. I need itto work,” his voice was desperate. He seemed to really love thisLily. But this.. this was wrong.

“Whatyou’ve achieved, Victor, is a miracle. But what you’re planning now..I don’t know if I can be a part of this.”

Victor’seyes were pleading, pretty much begging you to help him.

Untilyou finally sighed and closed your eyes.

“Iwill think about it. That is the best I can offer for now,” you gotup and put your hand on his cheek, kissing his forehead.

Thenyou walked towards the door, passing by Henry’s desk.

“Andyou’re part of this madness, then?”

“Yes.”

Younarrowed your eyes at him.

Still acting weird, apparently.

                                                         ***

Ittook you a week to come to a final decision.

WhatVictor and Henry tried to do wasn’t something you were comfortablewith, but having an evil immortal running around who was killingpeople in this city wasn’t something you were alright with either.You had to find a middle ground between what they were trying to achieveand the morals you believed in.

Youmight not have had attended university with the boys, but you had spentyour entire life reading up on things, getting every piece ofinformation you could find. And you already had some ideas on how tomake this experiment work, without taking everything from Lily.

Whenyou opened the door to their lab, Victor didn’t seem to be there.

Henrywas back at his desk, scribbling down notes, but turning around whenhe heard the door open.

“MayI?”

“Ifyou must.”

Henryhad always been more distant than Victor. There’s been a time whenyou thought he simply didn’t like you.. but then, one day, when hehad had too much to drink and something had happened in his family that he didn’t wish to discuss, youand him had talked and then he had suddenly kissed you.

Butever since that day, he had distanced himself even more.

Maybethis was your time to finally talk to him about it.

Youclosed the door behind you and walked over to his desk.

“Whatare you doing?”

“Working.”

“Onthe experiment?”

“Yes.”

Younodded and nibbled on your lower lip.

“Henry?Can we.. talk?”

“I’mquite busy.”

Youput your hand over his to stop him from writing down any furthernotes.

“Please.It won’t take long.”

Hepulled back his hand like fire had burned him, then he got up andwalked to the other side of the room, his back facing you.

“Whathave I done wrong to upset you so?” you didn’t follow him. If heneeded distance, then distance you’d give him.

“Youhaven’t.”

“Thenwhy are you still acting this way? I thought you.. liked me once”

Youremembered the kiss. He might have been drunk and it might have beensloppy at first, but the more your lips touched, the more he seemedto have sobered up. You could still feel his hands on your body, hishot breath against your skin..

“Youneed a normal man. Not someone like me. I’m not good for you.”

“Firstof all, I decide what’s good for me and what isn’t. And second, youdon’t know me very well if you think a normal man interests me in anyform or manner,” you still kept your distance, but you reallywanted to put your hands on his cheeks and make him understand that,despite of his past, you still cared for him, “You are special tome, Henry. You’ve always been special to me.”

Amuscle in his jaw twitched, his eyes still staring at the wall infront of him.

Eversince he had known you, he had been fascinated by you. He alwaysthought he has had problems in pursuing his medical career. But thenyou showed up, not even being allowed to attend the school and yetknowing just as much as Victor and himself in the field of medicine.With every day you had spent together, he had fallen more and morefor you.

Butthis side of him.. this side he could barely tame.. it was hardenough to deal with it on his own. But to put such burden on you?No.. you didn’t deserve that.

“Please,look at me,” your voice was pleading. All you wanted was for him tosee himself like you saw him.

Nota monster at all, but an intelligent young man who’s determinationhad brought him to where he was now. He was an inspiration, for sure.

Finally,after taking some deep breaths, he turned around and immediatelyrelaxed when he saw the kind smile that had formed on your lips.

“You’rea great man. An amazing scientist. And an even better kisser,” youchuckled and cocked your head to the side. Henry couldn’t help butsmile as well, “And you are the man I want to be with. Always have, ever since I met you.”

Helet out a long breath, staring into your eyes from across the room,searching for a lie.

Buthe found none.

Maybehe had finally found his match, who accepted him like he was, withall his flaws. And he still believed that he didn’t deserve you, butperhaps, in time, he could become a man worthy of you.

Slowly,he made his way over to you, raised his hand and put it under yourchin.

“Doyou really want this?”

“Withall my heart.”

Andwhen his lips met yours again, it felt like you had sealed yourfuture with a kiss.

[secretly-a-catamount]

That’s just how they flirt.

yeah your ship may have kissed but did they try to kill each other?

[discountsoysauce]

Oh ofc how could I forget
