Summary
Gotham doesn’t need androids to terrify its criminals — it still has Batman. But to Edward Nashton, the man behind the mask is the greatest riddle of all: Bruce Wayne, untouchable billionaire, Gotham’s shadow, and lover to the ever-perfect Clark Kent. A man Edward could never have… so he built one instead.
The android was supposed to be an answer. A likeness, obedient and flawless, something Edward could control when the real Bruce refused to be solved. But perfection is fragile. His creation begins to glitch, slipping between pliant possession and something dangerously human — too stubborn, too questioning, too much like the man it was never meant to be.
What begins as an outlet for obsession twists into a dangerous intimacy neither of them can escape. In the glow of Gotham’s neon nights, Edward finds himself falling for his own invention, unsure if he’s in love with Bruce Wayne, with Batman, or with the machine that refuses to stay a copy.
What happens when the thing you built to love you begins to love — and defy — you back?

Summary
Hello, welcome to my curated collection of questionable decisions, emotional damage, unsolicited genius, and Gotham-grade intimacy, starring one very high-maintenance man in green.
Sometimes the lights go out, and you don't bother finding the switch.
Sometimes he finds you reading smut about him.
Sometimes you're just trying to do your job.
Sometimes he's pretending you don't undo him with a look.
And sometimes—just sometimes—you both act like this isn’t the most important thing that's ever happened to either of you.
Features: accidental confessions, emotional constipation, too much eye contact, not enough self-control, a wellness journal Edward swears isn’t going to work, exactly zero logical coping strategies, and smut, smut, smut!
There are no rules. Only regrets and ridiculous amounts of tension.

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
Months into her new job at KTMJ, Edward finds himself increasingly drawn to his new overly-upbeat coworker. Their daily routine, filled with riddles and shared walks home through Gotham, steadily crumbles Edward's carefully constructed walls, much to his own confusion and the blatant annoyance of a persistent coworker.
As their connection deepens, Edward's carefully planned routine is broken, making old mannerisms and memories he's tried hard to suppress come bubbling back to the surface after years of keeping it under control, all because of you.
The problem is, when it comes to you, he doesn't seem to mind.

Summary
Very loosely based on canon. Heavily inspired by the novel “Before the Batman” and the comic “Riddler: Year One.”
Who is the Batman? Edward Nashton works a dead end accounting job, leading a double life as the streamer known as “The Riddler.” However, when he’s mugged, and the one and only Batman saves him, he becomes borderline obsessed with the masked vigilante. But it’s hard for Edward to concentrate with his annoying billionaire boss, Bruce Wayne, constantly attempting to be friends with him.

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

Jonathan Crane already has a friend (alright, maybe he has two), he doesn't need another. Jervis Tetch disagrees.
AKA, I read The Long Halloween and then wrote a pre-relationship Hattercrow fic based on that one scene where they're robbing a bank using a horse-drawn carriage.

Tim was alone most of the time; he ran through the streets of Gotham at hours when children his age were not allowed outside, took pictures of the masked vigilantes, and occasionally answered the postcards his parents sent him. Not anymore.
Or, Tim Drake is adopted by Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy (somehow).
