Summary
It was while he was unscrewing the strawberry jam that he heard the sound. A soft, rapping sound coming from his front door, like knuckles on wood, or maybe an infected trying to claw their way in. He spent a few moments listening, and, no, it was definitely knocking. He was surprised they hadn’t attempted twisting the handle, but rather continued knocking on his door as though he were naïve enough to let them inside.
'Little pig, little pig, let me in.'
A different take on the Alice Tetch virus.

Summary
Oswald Cobblepot works hard at his boring clerical job at the GCPD under Captain Fish Mooney’s guidance. Content to see his life’s greatest accomplishment be the victory over his previous, criminal self, Oswald keeps a low profile. This is what makes him the perfect mark for one of Gotham’s more lost souls, The Riddler, who is desperate to find a mentorship that will help him end his self-made conundrum of villainy, even against the advice of his partner in crime, Kristen “Red” Kringle, and the King of Gotham himself, Lucius Fox. Reluctant to advise Edward Nygma, but caught sympathizing with him due to undeniable similarities, he and Oswald grow close, despite circumstances and doubts.
(A "morality" swap of Gotham canon, where the "bad guys" and "good guys" exchange places in a timeline and universe superseding the show's.)
