Fate. It felt like fate. When he put to bed all that grief. Stumbled upon all that hope. Serendipity. That they’d been that close. That section of the woods. That time, that day. Destiny. What else would they call it? They found each other without trying. Everything had been so… easy.
Ed could still picture it. The creature soft and slow between his sheets. Then fresh from a morning shower, skin bare as Ed applied another set of bandages. Then under the glow of the city lights, singing and hollering the lullaby at the top of its lungs. Making a sandwich in the kitchen. Demanding his phone number at the breakfast table. Leaning against his side.
Heart pounding. Breath heaving. It was enough. Stomach churning, palms sweating. Just to have known him. Jaw clenching, eyes closing. To be known by him.
That’s what this was all for, wasn’t it? Someone to think about. Something to wish for. One last sweet memory. Somebody to live for.

And with that, the bingo board is complete!!!!
I really hope I saved the best for last. It really feels like I did. I've been working on this fic for months, I was super inspired by these thoughts I have about Ed and Oswald's time together in Season 2, and I HAD to write them down, it was too good to ignore.
A lot of Red String and typing at 5 am and this is the result! I'm super proud of it, and I hope people like it too! Season2 is a great time to explore and I'd love to hear people's thoughts about that those episodes if you're willing to share them. But yeah, enjoy! Read, kudos, comment, like reblog, whatever! I hope it brings some joy :3
yk Another thing that makes me insane about Them.... when lines that are about oswalds love for ed literally fit the exact same way when you think about them from eds love for oswald especially his choices & actions in eps like 3x05 4x15 5x11.... life gives you one true love when you find it run to it i would be lost without you you were the one time i let love weaken me. hate anger fear love. etc. insane if u think abt it
i had a heating pad around my wrist while taking notes this time, so I could really only use my non dominant hand to write. so please imagine me pausing the episode and, in big toddler like scrawl, writing "LEE!!!"
thank you. back to your scheduled post.
-when are we getting the musical episode, question. please i need it
-LEE!!!!!! i love her, im excited to see her also become a rogue. plus she pulls off the straight long hair straight bang look and that's hard
-beautiful lashes, beautiful brows, many a youtuber would have killed to have those back in 2016
-unrelated, but that era is when i learned how to do my makeup and frankly i really need to start doing more fun looks again. i miss my sparkles :(
-oooo the dutch angles when fish asks butch if he's turning on her. and it goes back to normal when they talk about it next. she knows he's loyal. i really love them.
-GO LEE!!!! i like jim, and he seems like one of those guys that isn't overtly misogynistic, but just doesn't think about more subtle forms of misogyny, ya know? he supports women's rights, but still subconsciously considers women lesser than.
-jim, ozzie, and ed are all insubordinate, and i hadn't noticed previously, for some reason. Jim is willing to go against his superiors to do the right thing/help, os does for his own gain and to show dominance (i hate that fucking word lol), and ed does to show he's better and more intelligent. i'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled and buttered for more similarities 0.0
-poor barbara, first montoya, then jim, now montoya again??? will she ever be in a good relationship???
-TOXIC YURI!!!!!
-he's so excited to see his friend!!! :) i love them actually, they are friends and i love friendship propaganda. i singlehandedly fund it, actually. with my friendship dollars.
-wait jim said he called the police and only harvey showed up. he called the one (1) guy he knew would be on his side. that's so goofy
-i hadn't noticed the first time i watched this episode, but butch is really just making sure there's no other way and he has to kill whats his name. this whole episode is butch coming to terms with it and what he'll do for fish :(
-ow
-i love them. :( fish knowing butch is asking for more time for himself and granting it is really sweet.
-how the fuck did barbara listen to ivy's voice and think "yeah that's totes an adult"???? barbara!!! stay calm and think!!
-also why the fuck is jim still staying at her place. barbara is a better person than me.
-maroni is wayyy too forgiving towards oswald. he wants to be the fish to oswald's... oswald soo badly.
-every bald white man looks like bruce willis to me.
-the dude who plays gruber is doing great
-the scene where butch kills what's his face is so good???? the first time i watched it i was tense! i like that he says sorry one last time and then kills him. this episode did a good job of making me care about their relationship, even though we only see it this one episode. "many a tear has to fall/but it's all in the game/all in the wonderful game/that we know as love" :(
good episode!! good butch lore, learned that ivy's vegan, apparently, and barbara needs a vacation.
i really am just using this as a show-watching diary lol.
BAM deleted scene! this one's pretty goofy; lee tells gordon she had no clue wtf he was trying to tell her when he told her to get out, and gordon's like "um i was trying to get you to leave???" and she says "oh, i thought you were just being mean." i love her
-it's so cute that selina helps bruce with his training
-i cant tell if selina is doing that thing that kids do when they want you to give a specific answer, so they keep asking
-relatable. i love him
-hmmm now why would a young girl in gotham say that? i wonder if this is a case of "i need to pay you back somehow, and i have nothing else to give you", in which case also very relatable
-13 sucked lol
-they are trying so hard to be friends and balance each other out pretty well but bruce is blunt about the wrong things and selina is so closed off
-i keep forgetting that jim is like... astute. he's like, good at being a detective
-one might say alfred is... simply one hell of a butler???? (gale stuck in the portal) "anyone?"
-i like that he doesn't deny the possibility of the mole being fish/ one of her goons
-also occurred to me the other day that penguins eat fish. i know that oswald later takes over fish's club, but i wonder if there will be other ways he (metaphorically) cannabalizes her and her legacy
-oh my dent is such a lawyer i kind of hate him
-the difference in how harvey b tries to get info out of the kid and how alfred does is so startling. i wonder if one of the reasons alfred is gentler on him is because he's worried bruce might end up on the street like that kid; kind of projecting bruce onto him
-it's sweet that as soon as bruce says alfred is family she gives him the coin.
-ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK!!!! bruce would faint from joy if you just asked!!! poor guy would kill for a sleepover
-their like beyblades, every time they get closer they hit each other and go to separate corners
-i love this wacko <3
-why is butch so dedicated to fish? i can't imagine it's something like money
-alfred loses bruce and goes insane... he should do it more often
-he's so sweet, holding a knife to butch's throat and then helping him back up
-fish folded under alfred's flattery so fast. me too girl me too
-i love bruce trying to get selina a better deal. he's so offended
-how string are these 13 year olds??????
-i do like that alfred treats bruce like an adult. they are going to make me cry
-GO JIM!!!
overall, this episode was great! mostly selina and bruce which i really liked. the beginning was great too!!!
took a break from gotham to watch the first half of lawrence of arabia like an old man, BUT im back
season 1 episode 9
-LESLIE ODOM JR?!?! first spn now here??? i forgot he did an episode for gotham
-alfred is sooo annoyed by selina lol. it's really sweet when later in the episode, he sees them throwing shit at each other and breaking glass but bruce is having so much fun he doesn't stop them. he cares so much
-and bruce is so excited to have a friend!!!! he wants to be friends so badly, but has no clue how to i love him.
-and selina is so unimpressed by him. she's like "what a weirdo" lol. but she's also trying!! both of them are dealing with so much on top of being thirteen. god thirteen sucks, but they're trying!
-i love friendship propaganda
-HARVEY!!!! i like harvey dent, not my favourite batman villain, but he's pretty cool. loved whatever he had going with the riddler in batman forever
-wtf harv
-oh. he also said that teenagers always pick heads. what a wacko
-two face foreshadowing!!!!
-dent is really... intense here? idk how to describe it other than that
-why does jim get such a nice desk. he like just started working here a couple months ago
-awwww liza
-yet again, the soundtrack slaps. the music when ozzie is in liza's apartment is so good
-god oswald is so creepy. he's one of those characters that manages to walk the line of "ew i hate them and want to see them fail" and "my blorbo :)" for me. but why does he sniff like that
-exactly butch
-huh. i know he's talking about puzzle games (could you imagine him playing nancy drew) but i wanna imagine that he plays like.... surgeon simulator or something
-awwwww that's surprisingly nice bullock :)
-two faced! i hope they actually do something with him but i'm not confident :( i've seen more gotham stuff about fries than two faced
-edward listens to radio game shows! wonder if he'll ever do his own gameshow ;)
-bullock has great hair
-OH MY GOD BARBARA GOT BACK WITH MONTOYA LET'S GO QUEER WOMEN!!!
-she looks great
good episode! tensions continue to rise in the underworld (good movie btw), barbara has finally left jim, and i wanna see more of harvey!
Oswald is trying to get an assassin and his crew to take out maroni and how does he convince him?
flattery, manipulation and making pretty eyes at him
and of course it works xD
all he had to was say that that guy will always be number 2 behind zsazs if he doesnt kill maroni and bat his lashes at him and it was a done deal xD
(look realistically i know it wasn't the latter because most characters in this show are straight but let me have some fun xD)
