If you don't speak my language, use the translator, I would have missed the best stories if I limited myself to my language.
OBS: Essa história é a continuação de "The Gotham We Want", então seria interessante você ler ela primeiro :)

Summary
With all of the stress at work with serial killers and whatnot, Edward Nygma spontaneously decides to do what normal people do when they're stressed and goes to a bar. At this bar he bumps into (quite literally) a man who shows him just enough kindness that Ed starts spilling all of his personal stresses to him. Oh well, he's just some guy, right? A very nice guy that coincidentally happened to be at the right place at the right time. Ed... well, maybe not.
(The Ogre manages to have one of the GCPD fall right into his lap.)

Summary
You never wanted any of this.
You hadn't meant to spiral down the rabbit hole that led straight to Hell. You hadn't meant to become the target of fate's twisted plan. You had just been trying to do the right thing, to do right by him. You were a good person. A good friend. Your eyes were bright with a light that the world hadn't quite managed to snuff out yet, but God knows it was trying its best.
You weren't crazy, your heart wasn't black, and you were trying to be the best person you could be...
Wasn't Hell meant for those who deserved it?
Or:
You were just a kid hoping to find some independence out in Gotham. But you got more than you bargained for when the circus comes to town and fate gets you tangled up in a web of deceit, nightmares, murder and mayhem. But what's done can't seem to be undone as the spider of this particular web won't be letting go any time soon, no matter how much you try to wiggle free.
You can't help but feel like you have fallen right into the arms of the devil himself. The devil that takes the form of the man you hate most in this world. The man you once called 'friend'.
(Editing in progress for the first couple chapters)

He will stop at nothing to prove his point.
Meanwhile, Barbara is dead set on keeping her family safe from the maniac, and she has turned to the Bat Family for help. If Joker thinks she'll go down without a fight, then he has another thing coming.

Summary
The Penguin is dead. A bullet wound, left to fester, slowly killed him—his empire left crumbled in his absence.
Edward Nygma hadn’t been there the night Oswald clung to his final threads of life in the forest. He hadn’t had the body of Kristen Kringle’s to bury, so he wasn't there to save the man nearing death. But ever since he’d met the crime lord, thoughts of Oswald Cobblepot had crowded Edward's mind, slowly developing into somewhat of an obsession.
So when the infamous Oswald Cobblepot’s body is wheeled into the GCPD Medical Examiner’s office, Edward decides he must study the Kingpin and learn what made him tick.
What he doesn’t expect though, was for the body to talk back.
