#riddlebird fic

[philosopherking1887]

I'm taking the opportunity to re-share another old(-ish) fic (I only finished it in September, but it wasn't written for the occasion) for Day 6 of @riddlebirdweek with the prompt "cliché," because it is the tropey-est fic I have ever written -- really the only time I've written a whole plot (138,000 words of it!) around a standard ship fic/romance trope, namely, the Fake Relationship... but it's a slight twist on the usual incarnation, in that the pair who are faking the relationship (Jim/Oswald, a.k.a. Gobblepot) are not the endgame ship (which is, of course, Ed/Oswald, a.k.a. Riddlebird or Nygmobblepot).

Fic summary: Jim and Oswald agree that the relationship between Edward Nygma and Lee Thompkins is a disaster waiting to happen, so they come up with a desperate plan: plant evidence that they're having a secret affair to spark jealousy in Ed and Lee and draw them away from each other. Their plan is both complicated and helped along by simultaneous crises involving the brothers Valeska…

she swallowed the lump in her throat and sat on the bed. “In my cousin’s home country,  Romania, they call ‘em Vampires y’know..! They disguise themselves as Young men, but are blood-sucking, flesh-eating monsters!”Alright, what..? How could he have even thought to listen to her? “I’ve heard enough.” He clicked his tongue as he walked away from her. “I beg you to not insult our guest with such silly nonsense.”With a swift motion, the man picked up the breakfast tray and made his way to the kitchen, his servant right at his heels. “Sir, I must insist, I have a terrible, terrible gut feeling about this ordeal. Perhaps it’s better if-“She couldn’t finish the phrase that the person of their discussion was now in view.

A little piece for my fic!!

It’s been hard to keep up with writing and drawing, unfortunately summer is when I am most busy…!

my favorite type of ship is 100% the ones where they have unending love and devotion and trust for each other. would do anything for the other. would do whatever the other said without question because they know that whatever it is, their partner knows what they are doing and they would trust them with their life. they could move mountains with their love. they would kill for their love. they would do anything for their love. everyone in the room can see that they are connected on the deepest level and will never be separated. nothing can break them apart. they are always on the same level, they know every thought that goes through their lovers head. when they are in a room together they control everything that happens. when they are apart they would tear up the earth to find each other. they would kill god for their love and give gods throne to their love. that kind of love is the best shit

[philosopherking1887]

Part 1 (season 3, mayoral era): Ed asks Oswald why he hasn't gotten surgery to repair his injured leg, and finds his answer unsatisfying.

Part 2 (season 5, post-battle): When the eye injury Oswald took during the battle for Gotham makes surgery unavoidable, Ed once again raises the question of the other surgery he hasn't been willing to get.

When I wrote the first part, I didn't intend to add a second part; and when I started writing the second part, I didn't intend it to culminate in a first kiss, but here we are.
