Summary
All is quiet at the Iceberg Lounge when Ed pays a visit while planning his latest scheme. Oswald warns him against getting into too much trouble, but he would do anything to protect Ed. After all these years he is still in love with the man after all. When Ed's scheme goes wrong, he returns to Oswald's side to hide out and maybe, just maybe, he'll admit his feelings for his friend to both himself and the other.
***
“I’ve been busy.” Ed continued, looking pleased with himself.
“And what exactly have you been busy with?” Oswald inquired.
“Now Oswald, that’d ruin the surprise wouldn’t it?”
“Just don’t bring your schemes to my door. This is still supposed to be a reputable business.”
Ed laughed at that, not one of his showy Riddler laughs, a proper one, coming truly from the fact he found Oswald entertaining. Oh, how the sound melted his heart and made his insides flutter.

Summary
Edward’s on a mission to find a ring (and mostly just awkwardly fumbling through it). Oswald’s tired but home, and Ed’s trying really hard to make dinner and get a little love back. They’re totally smitten, totally goofy, and definitely not thinking about the ticking clock. Each chapter counts down to Valentine’s Day, where things might get really real.

Summary
Jim and Harvey are working on a high-profile drug trafficking case when they hit a dead end. Reluctantly, they turn to Oswald at the Iceberg Lounge. Anything that goes on in the criminal underworld is known to him, and they’re unfortunately desperate.
They expect to have to grovel a little bit, promise a favour, even a little bit of dignified begging.
They don’t expect to find Oswald with a lapful of a man in a very glittery suit and a peacock mask.
As Oswald helps to close their case, the detectives shift their focus to the case of the Penguin’s Peacock beau, and who he really is behind the mask.

Summary
And here Edward thought this party would be boring ...
Made mostly because there is not enough fanfiction for the 2004 Batman series and for me to flex my muscles on my new Scarebat ship obsession.

Summary
When a case leads Jim to Oswald, their fates become intertwined as they work together to survive public opinion, a series of lethal traps, and someone preying on Gotham's citizens.
"What's wrong with you?" Jim asks jokingly, even as he offers a hand to help him up.
"The same thing that's wrong with you," Oswald says, squeezing his hand. "We're both willing to risk death for what we believe in."
Oswald always believed in Jim. Jim doesn't always understand this, or him.

Gotham Characters React to You Getting Easily Scared by a Movie 👻☠😈😨🎃 (feat. almost every character, wow 🤗) by A_Fanfic_Is_a_Wish_Your_Heart_Makes

Summary
Plot: I've come across versions of this where the reader likes scary movies, but what about readers who are too scared by them?
Reader: gender-neutral (no pronouns), in a romantic relationship with the character 🥰Warnings: the reader watching a not described scary movie (except for Harvey Bullock's part, where the movie's described (a chase followed by a scene on a rooftop, from which a main character nearly falls down)) & in most cases being hesitant to voice their opinion about it (often has to do with the love-interest probably being used to horror, never with being afraid of their reaction). I wouldn't recommend this approach but I thought I'd write it in most cases to show how safe you'd be with the characters even if you didn't say something at first ❤
•In Ed's fic description of what fake flood is sometimes made of (nothing scary, more of useful fun fact to know if you dislike it looking too real) -

Summary
Your tables are always bussed first. Your side jobs - refilling salt and pepper shakers, changing tablecloths, mopping the floor - are always finished when you get around to them. He keeps his head down now, simply listening (always listening) but specifically keeping a keen ear out for your voice.

Summary
A permanent bond. Edward glanced at Oswald. Gaze dropping back down to his own hand after a moment, as he wasn't sure he could bear looking at the other for long. Less out of fear of being hurt, and more out of actually being convinced that this was real.
Chapters are short and semi frequent !
!! ON A BREAK !!

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.

Summary
"Martín?"
Martín turned back to see Oswald standing beside the chair, facing him. He was dressed down to his shirtsleeves with his vest unbuttoned, more casual than Martín was used to seeing him, but that was not what made him take a step back in shock. Oswald wasn't wearing an eye patch, and both of his eyes were big, black buttons.
"I thought I heard you sneaking around."~
One rainy day, Martín finds a strange little door in the drawing room of the Van Dahl mansion.
(Gotham-Coraline fusion, starring Martín as Coraline.) -

Summary
"Oswald Cobblepot was a criminal. He was a mob boss known for his cruelty, the sheer mention of his moniker, Penguin, sending shivers down the spines of Gothamites.
But to call him heartless would be a bold-faced lie. Underneath the layers of harshness and brutality lay a sensitive, loving soul. Of course, he never let anyone aside from his mother see this part of him. Well, anyone but Edward Nygma. "
