Edward Nygma found Oswald Cobblepot aka the Penguin injured in the forest, asking him for help. Ed confronts with his other side (Dark Ed) while nursing Oswald back to health.

true love waits. in haunted attics. and true love lives. on lollipops and crisps. just. don't leave. [nygmobblepot one shots]

He never gave up on him and he was desperate for something good. He asked for relief and he lied to himself. He had never been good at letting go of control and he was afraid of something real. He asked for all the wrong things and he failed himself. A story of love, really. The fear of it, the want of it and seeing it where there is none. THIS IS AN AU - NOT IN THE SHOW UNIVERSE + kinda very angstyyyy

AU where Ed and Oswald have never met before until Ed is sent to get close to Oswald by Barbara Kean who's looking for something to take down his empire and have it as her own. You could say the mission becomes a success, if you're willing to overlook the many betrayals and lies to both sides. // In the time of the kind of fitting storyline in season 3. Give it a try if you love Nygmobblepot!

In search for Martin, Oswald ends up in the Narrows, and crosses Ed's path once again....

"I know this is wrong but I'm helpless to make the right decision around you" "What's that supposed to mean" Oswald tries not to fall in love with Edward again after he's unfrozen, but that might be difficult considering Edward has no recollection of anything past Oswald going to Arkham for the murder of Theo Galavan. Part of him wants Edward to know the truth. Another part of him wants to start over.
