Summary
Oswald contemplates aspects of his hiring criteria and personality while bemoaning his bad timing. This is triggered by a revelation in that morning’s issue of The Gotham Gazette’s gossip column concerning and old ‘friend’.
This is my entry for day two of Riddlebird Week 2025, the prompt was Henches, which is a non-gender specific term meaning subordinates. Like henchmen but including the ladies without being cumbersome.
The first day’s prompt I did an art piece, so please don’t go looking for a fic for that one, it doesn’t exist lol. -

Summary
A 50 year tale in 50 short stories.
Edward Nygma (once Edward Atticus Nashton who was born in Huxford, Alabama) had hated most of where he came from. Other than a couple nice cousins, there was nothing worthwhile of home to remember or think fondly of in the future that he made for himself. There was no need to dwell on silly things like past trauma when he now chooses the path he walks.
Except, there's no real way to escape over a decade of abuse at the hands of his father, but maybe discovering his villain identity and repressing memories while he tangles in the lives of more evil beings will help as a distraction. Couldn't hurt, right?

Summary
4 years after the tragic deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne, two of the most dangerous men in Gotham have a chance encounter that may just change everything.
Basically, my take on Riddlebird in a DC elseworlds of my own creation. Based primarily off of Gotham for making me like these two idiots together in the first place. Spans from the creation of both the Penguin and the Riddler to their first encounter with Batman, so prepare for a long ride.
Chronologically the first in the Timeline for this series, but also Stand-Alone and mainly here for a bit of fun :D

----------Edward Nygma is a nerdy, shy man who works in forensics at the local police station. A man who lived two lives, it seemed.
He hadn't meant to, really. It was a sort of accident.
But seeing as how he’s the notorious murderer that everyone seems to be talking about or looking for, it was hard to avoid that.It was at work when he saw him, a slight glance vaguely upward, wondering distantly about how to win the game he had waiting for him at home, and presently wondering who was yelling so loudly at a police officer.
Then he saw him.A man who made his heart stop and the voice in his head stop its endless yammering.
And he needed to know who this man was.
The man, however, didn't seem to care.
This man, was Oswald Cobblepot.

Basically a mix of Gotham (2014), the Batman (2022) and my versions of the characters!Series

NOT ABANDONED just slow updates
After getting sent to Arkham, Ed is set on escaping and breaking Oswald out of Blackgate.
Or, alternatively: my take on what happened in the 10 years Nygmobs were separated.

Summary
Oswald finds a child in "Everyone Has A Cobblepot," and it goes from there. There will be crying, Oswald simping over Edward, and more Victor Zsasz content because I loved his dynamic with Oswald.
As I'm making this note, there are 11 chapters. I went back and made some edits to chapter 1 so it's hopefully easier to read.
