I just noticed that in s4 Ed mocks Riddler for giving money away to the poor and asks him when did he ever cared about the Narrows, to which he responds saying that he does not and that they could all "drown in a stew of their own filth and I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep" and Ed is like "because all you care about is her."
Then in s5 he gives up leaving Gotham to fight for the city, saying he felt the same as Oswald about the "blood on concrete" thing, also saying the submarine needs two men to pilot (which was literally just some stupid excuse lmao) later, back at the library, he says he felt Nothing standing shoulder to shoulder with those people. He felt absolutely Nothing. Like? What was all that then? You were so cavalier about the destruction of Gotham but simply appeared at the GCPD to defend it moments later after Oswald told you to use your heart and not your head for once? Saying the city meant something for you but then hours later saying you felt nothing? Staying for a city you couldn't care less to fight an army like 20x bigger than yours?
Because all you care about is him.

Bitches calling RiddLee "Napkins" is as IRONIC as it gets: They literally started fucking after being enemies, robbed banks together, he broke her out of jail, he tried to torture her ex to death, and they stabbed each other and then kissed while bleeding out. If EO or LB did that shit, these little haters would HYPED for it. But since it's Ed & Lee, they call them boring when they're literally anything but. 🙄
(And I'm not just saying that as a shipper because I do ship a few pairings that I consider boring, compared to my other ships.)
They're canon, bitch. They fucked. He was in love with her (in his Ed Nygma way) and she was fond of him. DIE MAD ABOUT IT.

Favorite Fanfics of 2022
Excellent fics I read this year
Gotham, Harry Potter, HOTD, MCU
Gotham
Edward Nygma/Leslie Thompkins
i could be your stoker by falsepriest
Lee Thompkins walks into a bar, and the joke unravels from there.
Harry Potter
Dramione
Amortentia by LadyMidnight87
To prove he’s trying to engage more in Hogwarts life (as per McGonagall’s instructions) Draco Malfoy volunteers in Potions class to be the taste-tester for Neville Longbottom’s badly brewed Amortentia (Love Potion).
When it becomes clear it hasn’t quite worked how it should, Hermione Granger is assigned to be his minder for the day.
And, as the muggles say: Truth will out, yes?
A Season for Setting Fires by mightbewriting
Torture smells like spring.
Like daffodils and tulips and snowdrops. Like the bouquets brought inside from the manor gardens to lend their life to cold stone walls that house criminals. Easter mixed with madness makes sense in this twisted landscape; Draco’s only chance at survival is to endure it. He knows this. But that doesn’t quell the twitching in his calves, the flexing in his fingers.
Granger lifts her hand off the floor and Draco nearly loses his lunch, stomach churning as he watches her extend her arm, reaching through the translucent cord, reaching towards him. He tries to blink it away, blink blink blink, but both she and the cord are stubborn, persistent things.
[In which a soulmate bond appears while Hermione is tortured at Malfoy Manor. Canon divergent from that moment onward.]
Season Pass (To This Ass) by mightbewriting
“What do you mean you didn’t get me a ticket?”
Ron’s hand flew to the back of his neck, massaging a red splotch just above his collar, flushing out his freckles. “I mean, I—well, it’s not like you enjoy Quidditch all that much.”
“I went to every match you or Harry played in at school.”
“Quidditch is my hobby, not yours.”
[In which Hermione dumps a Quidditch fan and dates a Quidditch player instead. Spite is a beautiful motivator.]
Ten out of Ten by morriganmercy
"On a scale of one to ten, how comfortable would you say you are with me physically?" she asked.
"Zero."
Hermione's lips pursed in annoyance because she really should have seen that coming. How charming that the extent of his arseholery could still surprise her.
In which Hermione is determined to find a loophole to free her from a forced marriage with Draco Malfoy. But with only two weeks until they are legally required to consummate, it would be irresponsible not to prepare for every contingency.
House of the Dragon
Aemond Targaryen/OC
Our Violent Delights by bikadoo
*WIP*
Lucerys Velaryon is born a girl.
Almost nothing changes… until Aemond Targaryen begins to take an interest in her.
It seems Targaryen uncles have a habit of falling in love with their nieces.
Daemyra
Potential by stannide
“Do you normally snog your friends?”
“Do you normally snog your nieces?”
One strange night throws Rhaenyra’s relationship with her ersatz uncle off-kilter. A modern AU.
MCU
Darcy Lewis/Bucky Barnes
Grade A American Beef by acaseofthemondays
Darcy gets stuck babysitting the Winter Soldier when Cap and the Super Secret Boy Band have to run off and do some Avenger-ing. It turns out to be a really, really great choice for everyone involved.
Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
Everything She Didn't Know She Wanted by bluecurls
Knowing she had two soulmates comforted Darcy Lewis during the toughest moments of her life. Then she met them.
Steve Rogers/ Darcy Lewis
Good to Know by Anogete
Darcy didn't realize that Steve Rogers catching her sneaking a cigarette outside would result in them faking a relationship for the sake of his reputation, but she's definitely not complaining. As the days pass and feelings deepen, faking it becomes more difficult. But is Steve actually faking?
Their Hearts Said by Anogete
Steve is coping with the deaths of half the universe by not dealing with it at all. Darcy is desperately searching for Thor in hopes he can shed some light on what happened and why all of her family, including her best friend Jane, disappeared a few months ago. When their paths cross, they try to find something other than numbness in each other. Maybe wild sex in the stairwell and a public bathroom isn't the healthiest way of dealing with trauma, but it's all they're capable of while trying to bring back everyone they lost
The reports about my love life have been greatly exaggerated by Amerna
When an accidental meeting between two strangers is blown way out of proportions Darcy Lewis finds herself in the middle of a media onslaught that proclaims her to be “Captain America’s super cute ordinary lady love”. The problem however: She barely knows the man and what she sees of him doesn’t really leave her with a favourable opinion. So while the press quickly finds the perfect couple nickname for them and has them practically married in seven different ways till Sunday, she’s still trying not the slap the guy. But still, their epic love story is all over the papers, and what’s in the papers must be true, right?
This Love (Left a Permanent Mark) by Archetype_Electraheart
Captain America was blank. Captain America didn’t have a soulmate. Until now. And apparently, she had grown tired of waiting for him.
Phil sighed. Nick was going to be a nightmare when he found out about this.
(Or: a soulmate AU where Darcy copes with being a blank by getting tattoos and SHIELD gets quite the surprise when Captain America gets defrosted.)
Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov
Yaroslavna by thefudge
"He has come here for her, selfishly. Other selves be damned." Steve goes back in time for his spy. (Endgame AU)
