Savin' Me

Summary:

“Percy,” The music was turned down considerably. “Would you like to join Gambit?” He asked as Percy poked his head back out from behind the doorway. Percy hesitated, eyes wide as he looked into the kitchen. He took a hesitant step out from the doorway, though his hand was holding tight to the doorway. His other hand was shaking slightly as he looked around carefully. It was his first time in the kitchen since he’d been brought to the ‘X-Men Mansion’ or ‘X-Mansion’. He’d always avoided the kitchen unless someone carried him in, usually to eat since he rarely would walk there on his own. Percy swallowed anxiously as his eyes darted around before settling on ‘Gambit’ who was crouching down with a hand stretched out to him. There was still considerable distance between the two, which Percy was thankful for. While he liked ‘Gambit’ far more than anyone else in the mansion, he was still terrified of him. Percy didn’t understand the look on his face, but it wasn’t anger or distaste or anything that Percy had seen Gabe express. It took a moment to place it, but he saw his mama with that expression once. It was soft, kind, and it felt reassuring.

Percy hid just behind the door frame as he watched ‘Gambit’ move around the kitchen bobbing his head. There was music playing loudly, a voice he recognized from when he and his mama would bake cookies together. He was bobbing his own head slightly, leaning against the door frame. He liked the song, although it was faster paced than what his mama would listen to with him. He was sure that ‘Gambit’ was cooking something, the smells in the air and the stovetop being on gave that away obviously.

There was something said in french as ‘Gambit’ turned around, spotting Percy watching him silently. He looked startled, and Percy hid a little further behind the wall separating them. His heart rate had picked up and there was the brief spike of fear.

“Percy,” The music was turned down considerably. “Would you like to join Gambit?” He asked as Percy poked his head back out from behind the doorway. Percy hesitated, eyes wide as he looked into the kitchen. He took a hesitant step out from the doorway, though his hand was holding tight to the doorway. His other hand was shaking slightly as he looked around carefully.

It was his first time in the kitchen since he’d been brought to the ‘X-Men Mansion’ or ‘X-Mansion’. He’d always avoided the kitchen unless someone carried him in, usually to eat since he rarely would walk there on his own.

Percy swallowed anxiously as his eyes darted around before settling on ‘Gambit’ who was crouching down with a hand stretched out to him. There was still considerable distance between the two, which Percy was thankful for. While he liked ‘Gambit’ far more than anyone else in the mansion, he was still terrified of him.

Percy didn’t understand the look on his face, but it wasn’t anger or distaste or anything that Percy had seen Gabe express. It took a moment to place it, but he saw his mama with that expression once. It was soft, kind, and it felt reassuring.

Percy’s hand left the doorway as he took a hesitant step forward. He was shaking, and his eyes kept darting back to the stovetop, both wearily and fearfully. Gabe would sometimes call Percy to the kitchen to hurt him. But ‘Gambit’ wasn’t Gabe, far from him actually. He took a breath, closed his eyes, and darted forward.

He collided with ‘Gambit’, though the older didn’t move an inch, instead wrapping his arms around Percy and steadying him. This was a massive step for Percy, something which was only noticeable by ‘Gambit’. Percy never seemed to realize when he was able to do something he hadn’t before, but he always noticed when he was no longer scared of it.

“Gambit’s proud of you, petit.” ‘Gambit’ told him, slowly picking him up and holding him. He’d noticed Percy’s hesitant gaze towards the stove, had wondered just what had happened to him to make him fearful of the kitchen. Percy was clutching tightly to his shirt, though Percy’s head was resting on his shoulder. “So proud.” He turned back, carefully watching Percy’s reactions as he reached and turned the song back up.

It left Percy able to see what Gambit was cooking. It was something spicy, which made Percy’s stomach growl. Percy flushed slightly, embarrassed, as ‘Gambit’ laughed slightly. It was a quiet sound, and one that Percy realized that he didn’t hear often. He liked when ‘Gambit’ laughed.

“Sounds like Gambit should hurry up and finish cooking so you can eat,” Gambit chuckled afterwards, bobbing his head to the music. He smiled as he felt Percy bobbing his own head lightly against his shoulder. He barely noticed when the song changed, just that soon enough Percy was sitting up fully in his arm and wasn’t holding so tightly to Gambit anymore.

“Mama liked this song…” Percy’s eyes were watery. “She really liked this song, would hold me and sing every word while the cookies baked.” Percy’s eyes closed as Gambit wrapped his other arm back around Percy.

The song was “Savin’ Me” by Nickelback, which told Gambit plenty about what kind of woman Percy’s mom was. She was strong, and she was most definitely a fighter. He pressed a careful and quick kiss to Percy’s temple, just at his hairline, as he turned and leaned back against the counter.

Gambit closed his eyes as Percy moved and hid his face against Gambit’s shoulder again. He knew his food wasn’t going to burn, in fact it needed to sit for a while anyways. And Percy was still grieving, something which Hank said was going to take a long time. He’d seen his mom get killed protecting him, and then was hiding on the streets for a month.

Gambit felt tears enter his own eyes against his will as Percy started to cry. He hummed along to the song as Percy cried, only opening his eyes when Rogue came into the kitchen, a look of concern and curiosity on her face. She stopped short as she watched Gambit and Percy, the former closing his eyes again.

He bowed his head as Rogue slipped from the kitchen.

Percy cried for another few minutes before he was too tired to continue, something which Hank couldn’t find the cause for. Percy was just exhausted, all of the time and he fell asleep so easily, and he slept for too long.

The Professor theorized that it was caused by the conditions he’d been in previously. Gambit theorized that Percy could be a mutant, since he’d heard Percy say that it was only in Winter that he was so tired all the time. That his ‘mama only worried when it was Winter’. He took a breath as he opened his eyes again, finding that he was already walking towards the fridge.

“Would ya’ like a soda or water, petit?” Gambit asked, opening the fridge. He made sure Percy wasn’t looking in, a scowl on his face as he spotted Logan’s beer in the fridge. He was, apparently, the only one that noticed when Percy was scared or terrified of something.

He’d seen how just last week Percy tensed when he’d seen the beer that Logan was drinking, apparently he was the only one that noticed how Percy avoided Logan at all costs, and he had helped Percy when the nightmares were worse that night. He’d noticed the fear of the kitchen, and often offered for Percy and him to eat in the common area, which helped Percy relax and, just yesterday he’d asked Gambit if he could have more. Percy also hated being alone more than anything else, which was why he’d moved from full time X-Men to emergency member. He was determined to see to it that Percy was never alone if he didn’t want to be.

He asked questions to Gambit, just quiet whispers as he leaned against him, or was held in his arms. He froze whenever he had to ask anyone else, and shook whenever someone snuck up on him. Gambit sometimes felt helpless when he could see everything affecting Percy, but no one else did.

“Can… Uh…” Percy shook and Gambit could take a guess. Percy loved water, but was hesitant to have anything else. When offered a soda he would hesitate, especially if he really wanted one.

“Soda?”

“Please.” Percy’s voice was quieter than normal as he nodded. Gambit nodded, humming along to the song, which had changed he noticed. He grabbed a coke for Percy before grabbing one for himself. He needed something to drink, and he was not even thinking of his liquor. Refused to, actually.

He shut the fridge with a glare before moving back towards the stove. He set both cans on the counter, stirring the food, and then opening Percy’s can. He carefully set Percy on the counter, waiting to see if there would be a reaction. Percy tensed, but other than pushing himself a little further back, there wasn’t a reaction.

Gambit passed Percy his can of soda before opening his own. He could hear Storm talking with someone as she walked down the hallway, maybe it was Jean, or maybe it was Morph or Jubilee. He didn’t know, but he did know that Percy was weary again, on edge.

“What’s your favorite color, Percy?” Gambit asked, stirring the food once more. He bobbed his head as the song reached its peak.

“Blue.” Percy answered, eyes sparking slightly as he looked over towards him. “I really like blue, and mama would make blue cookies!” Percy took a sip of his soda, a tilt of his head as he stared at the drink in his hands.

“Blue cookies? I’ve never had blue cookies before.” Gambit raised an eyebrow, tilting his head as he heard Jean respond to Storm. He could hear Scott too, now that he really tried to listen. Couldn’t make out what they were saying though.

“Mama had a recipe, I…” Percy was frowning once more. Gambit could guess that Percy didn’t know the recipe, could also figure that he was never able to get a reminder of his mom. He made a mental note to remember where Percy’s old apartment was. He would need to pay a visit to the place.

“Maybe you and Gambit can figure out the recipe together? Trial and error?” Gambit asked as he heard the trio walk into the room, a glance showed that Rogue was with them. He would be looking for any and all recipes that he could find. Any reminders of Percy’s mom for him if he could find any.

“Okay…” Percy seemed incredibly bummed yet, which caused Gambit to frown slightly. He made a mental note for that to be as soon as possible.

“Hey Percy, how are you bud?” Bless Scott, but Percy did not like Scott. Percy frowned at the other, eyes weary as he tried to move closer to Gambit. Gambit set a hand out to stop Percy from moving too far, though Percy latched onto his arm as he stared at Scott. It wasn’t in fear, but Scott made Percy uncomfortable and it was obvious.

Rogue snorted lightly, and Gambit could almost see Jean patting Scott on the shoulder as Storm moved to the fridge.

“Hi Storm…” Percy waved with one hand, though he was still attempting to cling to Gambit. It was surprising just how close to the stove Percy was letting himself be.

“Hello Percy, how are you today?” Storm asked as she looked over at Percy with a warm smile. Percy shrugged, glancing nervously at the other three people in the room, all who were trying to pretend they were doing their own thing.

Gambit glanced to the opposite side of where Percy was sitting, finding Rogue leaning against his side. He smiled at her as he offered her a bite of what he was making. Rogue smiled, winking at Percy who was staring at the both of them confused.

Gambit was surprised Percy didn’t want to leave yet, given that this was the closest Percy had been to Rogue since he’d woken up at the mansion. This was also the most people he’d been in the room with.

“Alright…” Percy was looking back at Storm, his response delayed enough to cause concern. He glanced at Percy to see his eyes drooping.

“Petit, did you want to take a nap for a little while?” Gambit asked, tilting his head as Percy took another drink of his soda. While probably thirsty, Percy didn’t seem like he was entirely interested in the soda like most kids would be. Percy blinked at Gambit before nodding shyly.

“R-” Percy stopped and swallowed, eyes darting to Rogue before he tried again. “Rogue?” He asked, setting his soda to the side and raising his arms. There was silence in the kitchen as surprise flicked across Rogue’s face before she nodded with a smile.

“You want me to come with you?” Rogue asked, to which Percy hesitantly nodded. Gambit wondered if his own interaction with Rogue was influencing Percy’s decision. “Of course, suga’.” Rogue moved around Gambit, who paused in his swaying that he didn’t even realize he’d been doing. He also realized very belatedly that his music was turned down much more than he would have done.

Rogue picked Percy up, who rested his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. He was still incredibly tense, but he was at least calm. Rogue turned the tab of Percy’s soda and Storm silently offered to put it in the fridge. Rogue passed it to her before turning and walking out of the kitchen with Percy.

There were a few moments before Gambit spoke.

“I’m going to kill his former stepfather.” His voice was hard as he glared at the cooking food. There was more silence before Jean spoke.

“Don’t get caught by anyone while leaving the mansion.” Jean told him. Gambit turned and smiled at her slyly.

“Gambit don’t get caught unless he want to.”

xoxo romi yuana doing gods work with these fanarts

you found it weird, not being able to find one of your panties one day but it would magically appear the next day perfectly folded and placed in your drawer as if it had been sitting there the whole time, or how it ended up clean and spotless even though you didn't recall putting them in the washing machine. still you brushed aside those contemplations and assumed it was the nice (rare) acts of gojo doing chores. how could you have known, gojo took great pleasure in finding a pair of your used panties laying beside your bed or somewhere inside of the shared laundry basket.

getting home an hour earlier from you so he could snoop into your room eyes searching, yearning, for a pair. no luck in your room? he goes straight into the laundry basket, hands lifting up other pieces of clothing to find his so wanted treasure. gojo often found himself disgusted by his perverted actions, but those thoughts would be long gone when he feels his pants tightening at the touch of your white slick, coated on one of your laced underwear. his eyes roam around the bathroom as if he has the chance of getting caught in the empty apartment, before stuffing the piece in his pocket. his pace is quick when he makes his way into his room. settling at the edge of the bed, the first piece of garment that leaves gojo's body is his pants. the boxers, already dirty with a stain of precum, following after. he had craved you all day.

his fist containing the pair of wrinkled panties shifts towards his nose as gojo sniffs, a muscle memory that he has seemed to get used to. his eyes roll back and shut, free hand slowly rubbing onto his dick that had been craving attention for the past few minutes. gojo's muscles tense at your smell. how better would it have been if it was your pussy instead of these dirty panties. his mind was filled with you, the outline of your face flashed inside his head, a soft blush coating his cheeks. his imagination sculpted into something more explicit. gojo's eyes opened with a groan. he wanted much more, to kiss you, feel you. he huffs, panties making contact with his dick. hand skillfully pumps up and down dragging the piece of cloth along with it. a sweat drop builds up on gojo's temple, slowly trickling down, as his muscles tense once more signaling that he was getting close. his thoughts gets deeper, imagining you in so many ways, taking his dick. hips bucking up, his wrist uses its left strength to give gojo's dick two more pumps. the so waited release sprawls over the material, his fuilds marking up the 8th pair of panties this week.

his breathing was tattered, chest heaving up and down. he could feel his heart beat on his softening dick. as gojo gulped taking in the sight of your messed up underwear, his faced flushed. some sort of embarrassment crept on him. he just never seemed to get used to the feeling. he cleaned up, making his way to the bathroom, tossing the panties into the washing machine along with a few other pieces. which would finish long before you step inside the house.

Any Worth While Man

X-Men '97 dropped it's first two episodes this week and, as a Romy (Remy/Rogue) shipper, I have thoughts. Obvious spoilers ahead so this is your warning.

Ok, there are a few scenes of note I want to talk about. First being Gambit's intro. It was great I love his design and voice and his sass remains intact. We see him making beignets, reminding us the man can cook, and that he says "Rogue always saves Gambit." Cocky sure but sweet.

Next is a scene in a club. Gambit and Rogue are watching from above and she laments the curse of her touch while he assures her "any worth while man would suffer your touch for a dance" before offering his hand. She takes it and it's just a sweet moment. (This is important for later.)

Our following scenes are...I don't like them. Anyway this scene doesn't have Gambit but instead Magneto. She appears to have history with him and the type is implied by Magneto (Erik) attempting to remove a glove. She shies away from this and for now he lets it go.

Rogue shows up later and removes her glove showing Erik can touch her but she still seems hesitant. Later we see her leave his office and Gambit has seen her and drops the Queen of Hearts he had in his hand. Later still he rebuffs Erik, clearly jealous/envious.

So the important thing here is that Rogue seems to be more open with Remy and Remy takes her comfort in mind. He didn't trie to take her hand but offered it. He didn't go where he wasn't invited. Erik appeared to invade her space, making her uncomfortable at first.

I think this is evidence for their relationship being more physical than anything else. Erik can give her what she's always wanted, the ability to touch without risk, but she doesn't have her heart open to him. Erik noticeably shelters his touch from hers (if the theory about him using his powers is true) while Gambit would suffer her touch.

All this to say, I think this is the perfect setup for a storyline about different types of love and expression of love. The scenes with Remy feel genuine and intimate while those with Erik just do not. This isn't to say Erik is using or manipulating her, I don't doubt he cares for her. I just don't think she cares for him the way she does Remy.

I don't know if any of that makes any sense but I needed to get it out.

[unfortunately-obsessed]

Re: Romy. For those who are telling you to give comic Romy a chance; it progressively gets worse in the comics. I wholeheartedly agree that Gambit genuinely loves Rogue but having love and respecting love are two different things. For all the fan commentary going, "poor Gambit!", "Rogue ruined his character!", and "they're both to blame! But especially Rogue!" that majority of the fault in their relationship falls on Gambit's in-story actions. He lied to Rogue about being married, making her the other woman, he pressured Rogue to give into her attraction for him, he lied about his involvement in a massacre,he knew Rogue was haunted by the unclear memories she absorbed from him and refused to be honest with her even after seeing how much torment she was in. Rogue ended up leaving the X-Men because of it! Gambit tricked Rogue into having sex with him in a cage in front of other people when he revealed immediately after the deed that he could have freed the two of them from prison at any point. He blamed her for the accident he caused that made him temporarily blind and then smacked her in the face when she tried to help. He had flirted with women while involved with Rogue, and he even had sex with someone when they were a couple. He was sexually tempted by a 16 year old student at the school. It's heavily implied that he had sex with Mystique while she shifted into Rogue's form in front of him. He betrayed the X-Men to join Apocalypse, tried to kill Rogue, and then left to make a deal with Sinister to turn back to normal. Then he literally just waltz back into the X-Men and Rogue's life nothing changed. They eventually get married after Kitty and Gambit team up against Rogue to pressure her into reevaluating her feelings for that relationship. Then they get an unplanned quickie marriage after their friends and teammates planned wedding falls apart on the same damn day.

The Kelly Thompson series that keeps getting suggested unintentionally shows how unattractive Romy actually is. The author has publicly admitted and shown that she's obsessed with Romy and a very particular version of Rogue from the 90s, so when she wrote the Mr. & Mrs. X book she catered the story to her personal preference. Which was basically Rogue has always been emotionally and mentally weak, so she needed Gambit to come into her life and make her strong and deserving of love. All of Rogue's previous relationships (Deadpool, Magneto, Joseph, etc) were thrown in Rogue's face as an insult to Gambit's manhood even though all of those relationships happened when Rogue was not in a romantic or sexual relationship with Gambit. The whole book dumped on Rogue's independence to show that Gambit and Romy is the only thing that makes her worthwhile. So I definitely don't recommend reading that series to reinvigorate your love of Romy like others have suggested.

The Romy relationship is so interesting because it's an extremely clear representation of relationships that you outgrow because you once believed it was everything that you ever wanted until you grow more and learn more about what matters in a relationship. That goes for the characters in the story and the readers reading the story. Gambit is not a "wife guy" in fact Gambit may be the most traditional male figure in comics. He wants Rogue to be his woman, his prize, he wants her unwavering loyalty when offering only conditional loyalty in return, he loves her independence but only when he gets to be involved in it and resents her when he is left out, he pushes the boundaries of their relationship and Rogue's patience not because he believes in her, but because he knows he can talk her down from her rightful anger. Gambit wants Rogue to be his sexy traditional wife who lives and dies for him.

Their whole positive history is a collection of big "moments" of romantic gestures, but those moments don't make a healthy relationship. If you look at their relationship outside of those moments then you see it's a mess of toxicity and should have ended long ago. The characters can't thrive together because they're in direct conflict with each other.

I have nothing to add

I'm disgusted. I don't even know what to say since of all of this is canon. This all happened

If you want to fact check this, they're talking about Uncanny vol 1, where Remy could've free the whole team but decided he wanted a night with Rogue first, which is vomit-inducing for me

What do you think of all the Romy vs. Rogneto drama in X-Men 97?

In short, I find it all super unnecessary.

In long… Yeah here is a super long rant with all my thoughts about it, thank you for giving me an excuse to talk about it anon!😁

I’m a huge Rogue and Gambit shipper but I enjoyed Rogue and Magneto in comics as well. I think they were written really well in X-Men Legacy and I loved how healthy even their break up was.

I even enjoyed them in the show for the first 2 episodes and was excited until it seemed like the love triangle was Rogue’s only storyline and it made both Magneto and Gambit act out of character. I don’t like love triangles to begin with and this one was done… very badly and it did nothing but fuelled misogyny against Rogue. And when it comes to characterizations; Rogue would not hide things about her love life from Remy & Remy would not act like a loser about Magneto and most importantly Magneto would not be arguing with Remy over Rogue. Bad characterization all over for a storyline they decided to add for some reason.

Then episode 5 happened and every good feeling I had towards Rogneto’s show version disappeared completely.

First of all they changed Magneto and Rogue’s history completely and that flashback scene in episode 5 made me feel so incredibly uncomfortable, I don’t think it was the intention but the end result was literal grooming. The teacher/student relationship, the power dynamic between them, the age difference, Rogue’s relationship history and powers were all very…. icky.

All in all, I’m not really a fan of the change they made, if they stuck to the comics it would be fine but their relationship is just plain creepy in the show.

People keep saying “it happened in comics” which is true but also not at all because in comics Rogue and Magneto could touch because Rogue had no powers in Savage Land, they met when Magneto saved her life by separating her personality from Carol, they weren’t in a sexual relationship together until X-Men Legacy which was in 2008 so yeah.

My final thoughts on this “love triangle” is that I hope they never bring it back up again for all the characters’ sake.

And lastly, I really hate how this love triangle opened up a misogynistic hate campaign against Rogue. It was obvious from the beginning Rogue and Gambit were not together but people didn’t get the hint and called her a cheater among a lot of stuff that is slutshaming and even though the last episode cleared up the air completely by making Remy say they were never offical and Rogue implying she and Magneto were not back together at all, people with 0 media literacy who love to self-insert keep going. You can feel bad for Remy but if you start talking shit about Rogue, then I’m not even listening to you.

Sorry for the long answer anon and I’m aware I kinda got out context as well but oh well.. Hope you have a good day!

People really be acting like Rogue swore a chastity vow to Remy with her powers. "Poor Remy"? What about poor Rogue having to find out about Bella Donna in the "X-ternally Yours" episode of XTAS. It's just now the shoe is on the other foot for Gambit.

Hey stranger! Thanks for stopping by! 💜🛸

Yeaah... I tend to stay away from a lot of social media platforms, from reddit, and I especially try to stay away from the comment sections because they would make my blood pressure skyrocket. I’ve only seen a small fraction of it and it's been enough.

It’s the same old story, right? In media, if the man cheats, it’s because ‘boys will be boys’ and they just need to realize what true love is. If a woman does it she’s a… well, we all know what words people like to throw around. Not to mention that, TAS strictly speaking, Rogue (alongside the other one-night stands that were implied in many episodes in the original series) was the other woman. Gambit was married to Bella Donna and kept secrets from both women.

One thing that people don’t want to accept is that Gambit and Rogue never went official in the animation (even ‘97 acknowledges that). Rogue doesn’t owe Gambit anything, but that’s not how some fans want to see it. We can’t even compare the two situations, and, in all honesty, Gambit is not even a quarter of the way to knowing the taste of his own medicine. 

In 'X-ternally Yours' the way Rogue reacted when she found out about Bella Donna was very compassionate and supportive towards Gambit, even if he didn’t have the decency to explain to her (or anyone in the X-men) the messy situation of his past. In ‘Remember it’ he held her accountable for something that had happened way before they met, with no complications or consequences to anyone, and for something she had the courage to share with him. This small nuance, which I absolutely love because it speaks volumes about the two characters, is taken and twisted by a part of the fandom. And that…really sucks.

I always try to keep in mind that these people are just a small fraction and not the majority of a fandom. But they are SO. VERY. LOUD and end up with a lot of reach. That is the real problem. Because they're perpetuating a toxic take. Lately I haven’t been able to enjoy any Romy or Gambit related content because of them and I hate it. I grew up with the ship and I still love Gambit so damn much but they are really good at destroying that for me.😔

Yayayayaya how should I call you? But you get the view. Like Romeo wdym you're dancing with kaito clothes? 🤨 Did you take his clothes (strip-) ? He's so obsessed with kaito 2/3 our of his ward cards are just him with kaito :3. I think it's implied he will be kaito burier or something, do you think their card will match eachother? Like he's the burier and kaito look ded or something. Sorry if I rant too much 😔🙏 their dynamic got me weak in the knees.

Gsjshsusb feel free to call me anything lol anon 😆 [I mostly go by Istha, on Twitter atleast lol]

FR THO LIKE HELLO ROMEO GAY MUCH

I do think their cards will be matching! Kaito as the corpse and Romeo burying Kaito, or rather his clothes. Or it's just Kaito in his clothes pretending to be a corpse.

You have Zenji at the entrance, with the blood of a pomograte running down his knife and Jiro sitting on top of a coffin with pomegranates near. Their cards are a similar vibe so I think it's safe to assume Kaito and Romis will match too!

Like? The pale purple tag(?) On his upper arm and scar along his face? Frankenstein much? 🤨 you're dead.

AND LIKE THE MATCHING FLOWERS!

SORRY FOR THE MANY PICTURES LOL, I LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC TOO, THEY'RE SO FUNNY

Bonus Ritsu with Kaito: [Sinostra gang except Taiga have a warding card with him lol. Taiga soon me hopes]

I wanna add to this lol, Romeo is the only one actually dressed for a funeral, though he's dripped out. He's got the veil thingy and everything, the perfect undertaker. SO YEAH, BURRYING KAITO WHO HAS SKELETON HANDS AROUND HIS NECK?! checks out.

The Edge of Us

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/fmECgUH by adhdnursegoat In the shadows of Gotham City, Edward Nashton—brilliant, bitter, and disillusioned—finds himself unraveling more than just the corruption festering within the GCPD. Tasked with mentoring Romy Winslow, a sharp and enigmatic computer science student, Edward is both drawn to and infuriated by her presence. As their uneasy partnership deepens, sparks fly in a tense dance of intellect, ambition, and unspoken desires. But in a city where trust is fragile and deception runs deep, even the sharpest minds can be blindsided by the chaos of their own emotions. Set one year before Batman: Arkham Origins, Edward’s obsession with Gotham’s decay collides with his growing fixation on Romy, and lines blur between mentor and mentee. Together, they dive into the city’s labyrinth of secrets, unearthing truths that could shatter them both. But in a world of shadows, every connection comes with a cost, and the edge between love and destruction has never been thinner. Will they rise together—or fall apart in the pursuit of their own truths?
