did these a while ago among other things

[gothumes]

honestly ed just has internalized oswaldphobia

[gothumes]

absolute riddlebird

[gothumes]

personally in my own gay utopia ed doesnt actually have any internalized homophobia and the reason he can't admit he's in love with oswald is because oswald sucks

[gothumes]

as much as i think ed and oswald should've gotten together pre-timeskip, i really really love the idea of ed only realizing his feelings while he was in arkham, because it means that depending on your headcanon for when he has his "oh. oh" moment, he had a LOTT of time to fantasize about oswald before they were reunited. oswald in those deep red glasses. oswald smiling through vicious threats and murders and others' blood on his face. oswald looking all soft in his robe with his hair undone. all the things ed realizes he loved when he'd seen them the first time.

and then the first time they see each other in TEN YEARS ed has all of three seconds to process that oswald now is wearing a top hat, monacle, a frighteningly purple jacket that does not fit him (thicker in the middle.), and yet he still wants to absolutely raw him. cinema

[gothumes]

nygmobblepot amnesia au where post 5x11 or post 5x12 ed doesn't remember any of the fallout and oswald has to decide whether to a) not tell him anything and live with that guilt but having ed still looking like him like he hung the stars, or b) tell him everything and take the risk of ruining their relationship again but knowing he did the right thing

[gothumes]

literally no in canon reason for this to happen but i need an isabella-oswald bodyswap au RIGHT now i need to see oswald acting like a dumb blonde and edward clocking immediately that something is wrong because his isabella is very much not a dumb blonde

[gothumes]

congratulations, you're a doll

When they sleep together, it’s always at Oswald’s. He can’t bring himself to fall asleep in Ed’s new apartment. Even if that woman never set foot inside, it feels too mundane for them, too easy for Ed to slip into thinking she might be the one sleeping in his arms. At least in the mansion, Oswald has the comfort of environmental control.

Ed, gentleman that he is, doesn’t tell Oswald that he’s noticed those little roots of anxiety, swelling and threatening to grow over until there’s nothing left of him but thriving, rotten insecurity. Maybe it’s because Ed loves him. Maybe it’s because Ed would sooner die than acknowledge Oswald’s lingering possessiveness. Maybe it’s both.

Whatever the reason, Ed stays determined to treat him well. Currently, he’s rolling his hips over Oswald’s, worrying small, red-purple bites into his chest. Oswald’s eyes flutter open. He didn’t notice Ed taking off his shirt. Upon closer inspection, he realizes Ed’s shirt is gone, too. He’s more hurt he missed that.

Ed leans in to suck one of Oswald’s nipples between his teeth, a quiet laugh escaping him when Oswald whines in response—Desperate, high, and purposefully feminine.

“Pretty bird,” Ed murmurs, grinning.
