Cruel Love (Gotham/Oswald CobblepotFanFic)

Special Words From Ace ...The Writer of Cruel Love:

You dont know how to feel when something ends.

I remember when I first started watching Gotham. It was maybe 2 years after my great grandmother had died, I never felt so sad and alone, I was on Netflix and tried to watch 'Once Upon a Time' I couldnt get into so I went out of it and on 'shows you might like' or whatever pops up..

There was Gotham, season 2 had just been added. I went into it when I seen it was about Bruce Wayne, Riddler, the Penguin, etc. I couldnt stop watching, I was watchin' it every single day then it hits this certain episode: Season 02 Episode 07- Rise of the Villains: Mommy's Little Monster

I cried like a baby. Gertrude dying and how Oswald took it, it hit home. I remember crying, yelling at anything, getting angry, feelin' lost without my great-grandmother. I always felt like my grandmother was my great-grandmother.

Then I get to where Oswald is out of Arkham, standing over his mothers grave in Season 02 Episode 15- Mad Grey Dawn. When Oswald says to Gertrude's grave " I don't know if I'm gonna make it without you." It about killed me.

Even before Gotham I was a Penguin fan. Alright, it was 2008 at Walmart back when they actually sold comic books, I was looking at them and I picked one up. Joker's Asylum: The Penguin. It told just a little about him, then I started reading more about The Penguin.

I read and read of his orgin story (one of them anyway) about being fat, bullied in school, having no friends and some other things and felt a connection. I know a little insane, a connection with a comic character.

Then there is another origin of his: Being a misfit in the family basically, yeah I can relate on a lot with Oswald Cobblepot. If I could I would sit and talk with him for hours, almost eleven years ago I discovered The Penguin, almost thirteen years ago I discovered Batman and three years ago I discovered Gotham.

I have been with Gotham since then, supporting it and everything. And when I finally got to meet Robin, I knew I couldn't tell RLT everything so I just told him 'Been a Penguin fan for ten years, I really think Burgess Meredith would be proud of you' that caused me to get six hugs. I never felt so happy, I barely remember that moment because I was so nervous.

But, if I could redo it I would have told him about this story 🔝 and hoped he wouldnt have thought I was weird. After wishing for years to meet Burgess Meredith, or even Danny Devito ...I'm Robin Lord Taylor was the one I met. I don't know a lot on him (and I dont really want to know a lot, just the basics) but, It made me happy he listened to me and what I said. And everyday I hope he read the letter I gave him and enjoyed the Danny DeVito card I put in it for him,

I started this book while watching Gotham, and I am ending it while watching Gotham. It started with with a story that was supposed to of been about a girl learning under Oswald and not falling in love with him. And I thank everyone who has read it all the way through to this very moment. And I am so sorry for the crappy spelling, I love you all.

And after three years of being on Wattpad ...it finally has 10,000 reads. This is where it ends, I am going to edit this book. And I will cry as I do as I remember all the thinking and plotting put into this book as I watched Gotham.

If any of you has a special moment that got you into Gotham, whether it is simple, funny or sad, I would love to hear. If you have any character of any fandom you relate to, I would love to hear. I am one that would not make fun, I would love to hear to it.

Thank you fellow Gothamites, for the reads, the votes, the comments, putting me at #2 in The Penguin, #3 in RobinLordTaylor for that small and short time.

I'm going to go curl up in a ball, stare at my Penguin wall in my bedroom and cry, Gotham is on the last episode, but it will live on in our hearts. After the last chapter ends of Nessita's story Cruel Love next Friday ...Casper's will begin in Contract.

-Ace, HiredByCobblepot to do damage to Gotham City. Over and Out. 😊😢💜🎩🐧
