**Spoilers for Fox's Gotham just in case**

But I just saw Edwards scene with Kristen telling her about killing her abusive ex I was wondering if u could write something like that but when the reader accepts him as his lil riddler self maybe even thanks him? Ur littraly a star mwah 💕💕

aw anon, thank you sm! let me tell you, ever since i saw that scene i have been DYING for an x reader fic with your exact plotline. we could fix him? no. we could make him worse. we could kickstart his villain arc in a completely different way. let's do it

you were sitting among edward's scattered sheets, holding a cup of tea he'd made for you. he was heartbreakingly handsome in this light, with his brown curly hair falling over his forehead and the way he adjusted his glasses as he sat next to you. you let yourself lean against his shoulder, grounded by his stable warmth.

but your mind just had to ruin it for you. instead of focusing on the amazing night you were having, you were trying to keep your panic in check at the thought of your abusive ex. they'd always said that if they found you with someone else, they would kill you. you were terrified of them, not just for your own sake, but for edward's, too. you'd never forgive yourself if he got hurt because of you.

"y/n? what's the matter?" edward's voice broke through your thoughts. he was frowning just a little, sounding concerned.

you stared into your mug of tea. he had to know. "i'm scared," you whispered.

"of what?" edward asked gently.

"of- of my ex," you said. "they used to tell me that if they ever saw me with another man, they would kill me. and i'm terrified of what will happen when they come back."

edward carefully took your cup, placing it on the nightstand. he held both of your hands in his and smiled at you.

"you don't need to worry about that," he said.

"you don't know them," you said, aware that you were starting to sound as panicked as you felt. you squeezed his hands. "they're a monster."

"listen to me," edward squeezed your hands back. "you do not need to worry about them."

you shook your head and laughed, completely without humor. "you're so kind, edward, but you're not a fighter. you couldn't take them on."

"trust me. they've been taken care of."

you looked up, brows furrowed with confusion. "what's that supposed to mean?"

edward looked away, then back at you again. "some time ago, they and i had an altercation." you gasped, gripping his hands tightly. he smiled reassuringly at you. "i asked them to treat you with more respect-"

"oh my god," you whispered.

"and they said they would treat you any way they liked, and they assaulted me."

tears began to blur your vision. not edward. not edward, no.

"so anyhow, long story short," edward said, "i killed them."

you went still. oh, if only. "what?"

"it was outside of your apartment. i stabbed them, and they died."

"that's not funny," you whispered, searching his face for any sign that he was joking.

"i'm not being funny," edward promised. he let go of one of your hands to rummage around in his nightstand drawer, and pulled out your ex's ID. you whispered their name as you read it, near breathless.

"do you believe me now?" you heard edward ask, but you were a million miles away. it was true. edward had done this for you, had guaranteed your safety. you would never have to speak to or even look at your ex ever again.

your tears spilled over and down your cheeks, but you weren't afraid anymore. they were tears of relief.

"y/n?" edward said, sounding alarmed. he reached out and brushed your tears away with his thumb. "y/n, are you-"

"edward," you gasped through your tears, and launched yourself at him. you wrapped your arms around his neck and let yourself go, shaking and falling apart in his lap. he held you close, pressing kisses to the top of your head and wherever else he could reach.

"that is the... sweetest thing anybody's ever done for me," you said, pulling back just enough so you could look him in the eyes. "thank you. i- thank you."

"of course," edward whispered. "i would do anything for you. i love you."

you nodded vehemently. "i love you too. so much."

anon im about to cry i loved writing this!! i hope you enjoyed it too! have a good day bestie <3
