I know I promised Jervis, but Ed Nygma enraptured me. God I love that weird man. It’s short and sweet (to my standards).
Yandere DC Shorts: The Missing Piece
Yandere Riddler x Nurse Fem Reader
TW: Yandere behavior, unhealthy relationship dynamic, stalking, obsession, DELUSIONAL man, exploring Ed’s OCD a bit, and Edward Nygma is obsessive
Edward Nygma knew he was the smartest man in the world. He’s proven it countless times with his elaborate attacks on Gotham city.
He was simply kind enough to leave clues because he enjoyed the game he played with Batman! The attention thrilled him for years… at least until he got a taste of genuine affection from the new nurse in Arkham.
Never had Edward felt his heart flutter and his stomach twist when (your full name), his sweet nurse in Arkham, gently disinfected the wounds on his pale skin that were inflicted by guards. Never had has his breath shuttered when she’d ask in her soft, velvety voice if he was okay… never had he experienced someone show care for him.
By the heavens it was simply addictive. The chemicals that released in his brain when he saw (your name)’s sweet, smiling face were better than any drug known to man. Edward never wanted anyone more in his life.
Look at him, (your name)! Love him! Let him worship you as you equally worship him! Praise him! Be his! His! His! His!
If only the poor, little nurse realized just how detrimental of a decision she had made just by the simple act of kindness… maybe then, it would have saved her from the obsession of a lonely madman.

“I never noticed your eyes were such pretty shade of green, Ed.” (Your name) smiled warmly at her patient whose ears turned pink. “They remind me of sea glass.”
Edward held his hands that began to sweat profusely in nervousness. She thought his eyes were pretty? He found every inch of (your name) pretty! From the tips of her toes to the strand of each hair on the top of her head. How could someone be so perfect?
“T-thank you.” Edward felt so nervous… he wasn’t used to someone’s utmost attention. To compliments and praise he had always desired since he was young. He was thrilled to finally be perceived.
“I’m glad you’re healing up nicely.” (Your name) smiled at him as his green eyes studied her expectantly like a lovesick puppy. “I’ve been so worried about you. I’m sorry the guards are so nasty to you.”
She had no idea he purposely riled those British guards up just to be able to be here with her. That he needed his fix.
“I have a riddle for you…” Edward gave (your name) a sickly sweet smile as his heart fluttered and the blood rushed to his cheeks. Would she be able to solve it? He hoped so! He would try to make it easy so she could figure it out…
“A riddle? For me?” (Your name) smiled at him. “I’d love to hear one.”
Here it goes… Edward mentally told himself before the usual cocky persona he presented to the world came back to the forefront.
"What grows stronger the more you share it, and makes your heart beat faster when you're near someone special?"
(Your name) thought for a moment before she smiled. “Is it feelings for someone?”
“Correct.” Edward smiled as he took her hands in his. “Do you… have feelings for anyone?”
“Not currently.” She told Ed as his grip tightened on her hands. His breath shaky and his eyes glazed over.
Was he not on her radar? Did she… not see him as a man? Was he not handsome enough? Did he not have enough brawn?
“Ed? Are you alright-“ Ed suddenly pulled her close with a strength she didn’t know he possessed. His body trembled as all of his frustrated emotions bubbled to the surface.
“Look at me.” He said firmly. “Am I… not attractive?”
(Your name blinked. Once. Then twice. Her brows scrunched together in confusion.
“What do you mean, Ed?” She softly asked.
Ed scoffed and looked away. Why had he shown such vulnerability to her? (Your name) should feel blessed to be in his general vicinity! She was ungrateful to have the attention of the ingenious Riddler! She should be the one who begged for his attention, not the other way around-
(Your name) gently placed a palm on his forehead. “You’re hot to the touch, Ed… why didn’t you tell me you had a fever?”
Ed completely melted under the touch. His eyes closed and his breathing calmed. Her touch always felt so right… like his missing piece.
so, totally feel free to ignore this since i know you’re on a gravity falls kick, but seeing all the posts about puppy play/bondage/bdsm really got me thinking about a certain green man from gotham…
just. being the riddler’s pretty little puppy-brained obsession. no need to think or worry anymore, you just need to sit pretty with your collar in the section of his hideout just for the two of you (god forbid one of his henchmen come in- then they get a reminder why he’s considered to be such a terrifying rogue), and let the smartest man in gotham do allllll the thinking for you!
Even better if he asks for Jervis’ help in this endeavor <3 The Hatter really is so helpful, generously offering his expertise in engineering to craft a specialized collar just for you.
You really were too smart for your own good, dearest. That's exactly why Edward loved you so much, why you had originally caught his eye. Your beautiful mind was so captivating! Ah, and yet, you really were too in your own head. You shouldn't have to expend any unnecessary energy worrying your sweet little head about things The Riddler was more equipped to handle. He would take care of you and do all the hard work now.
Oh, you put up a good fight, of course! Edward hadn't expected any less from you. But the moment he managed to slip that collar around your neck, green and purple and lined with question marks and a dog tag that showed everyone who you belonged to, you relaxed so sweetly for him. He was going to become addicted to that dazed, obedient look in your eyes.
You were his sweet, silly little puppy. Obedient and unquestioning and without worry. He kept you locked up in a special section of his hideaway just for you, with a soft bed and toys and food bowls and anything your simple little doggy heart desired. He even had a workbench there with a dog bed underneath by his feet so he could work and spend quality time with you simultaneously.
Of course, he wouldn't keep you in such a state forever. Or, well, so he says. He did love your mind and how intelligent you were, regardless of if you believed him or not, but at the same time…
The power he had over you, the knowledge that he was in complete control over you and the ability to take care of you as you deserved to be… Well, let's just say that the amount of time he keeps you collared up and brainless seems to extend longer and longer after every break from it. It won't be long until he's certain that this is the only way to keep you completely safe, happy, and his, forever.
Not necessarily platonic, it's more just a general yandere Arkham Riddler. I have not finished his questline yet so if it's not completely canon to his lair, that's my bad.

Just thinking about where he'd keep you after kidnapping. It'd likely happen after Arkham City, well, after he realizes he'd been tricked by Batman and forced to walk around in his own torture for nothing. He'd be fuming, and then the thought of you being forced to be saved by that fool, even thankful for him... It gets his blood boiling.
He'd likely keep you chained up, much like he did with Catwoman in Arkham Knight. He'd probably have it wired to shock you when you reach a certain distance away from him. Hell, even thinking about how he'd keep you tied to his desk.
One of your hands tied to the top of the desk, the opposing leg tied to the bottom of the desk, and an electric collar wrapped around your neck on top of that. He sits in his chair, one leg tossed on top of the other, a hand holding his face up as he closes his eyes and thinks.
He'll speak out loud as he thinks, letting his face curl up in anger as he thinks of the Dark Knight. "That foolish buffoon, he claims my love for you is sickening." He mutters, making your head tilt towards him. That's something new. "You call this love?" You spit out, and feel the electricity course through you. "Ah-ah, you know not to speak like that!" You hate him. He looks so smug looking at you, chained up on the floor like a dog. You think he likes the power over you.
I'd like to request romantic yandere headcanons for the Riddler, thanks
This has been in my inbox for a while, sorry for the delay!
Edward Nygma (The Riddler) Headcanons
He kidnaps you the first chance he gets, he ties you to a chair in his apartment.
He does ‘rehearsal’ with you for his.. hobbies. You scream and cry the whole time, thinking that it’s actually real and that you will die if you don’t answer his riddle correctly. Aren’t you just a good little actor :)
He makes it up to you after, getting a romantic dinner set up, while you are still tied to the chair. He makes the meal himself, spaghetti. He is lowkey manifesting a lady and the tramp moment with you. Why are you still crying? He thinks your a method actor, always so dedicated to him and his hobbies.
He forgets to untie you sometimes when he goes to… work… but he promises to make you feel better when he gets back. Your back must get so sore, sitting in that chair for hours :( he will give you a back massage. He thinks it’s very romantic.
He gets sad when you yell at him, do you want to do some more rehearsals? Of course you do! That must be why you are upset with him, you want to practice with him! How sweet of you!
He takes you out on ‘dates’ aka make you an accomplice to his crimes. He teaches you how to properly rob a bank, how to scare civilians.
You cry as he makes you hold the bank tellers hostage. He thinks you just have proformance anxiety and your nevous about you first back robbery.
He is overall very delusional, but he never physically hurts you. He just wants his partner in crime <3
Oh my god, I started watching Gotham again and holy fuck I forgot about Edward Nygma… y’all I am down bad, he would make the perfect yandere, especially this version of him. Like that first scene where we see him, I am weak in the knees.
Probably gonna work on something for him now, if y’all have any requests.
