A short version of the full post for our event which is here! (includes guidelines)

From Nymobblepot to Gobblepot to Batcat to Thompkean, we want everyone to feel included!

How It Works:

  1. Submit your details via the submission form, by June 10th 2018. As you’ll note when you are submitting this form, it asks you what sort of categories you enjoy, and what you don’t, as well as ships you will write/draw for, and what you’d want to read/see. This is to help us isolate the entries to pair you with the best gift-er we can find! You can also add tags to the ‘other box’, or specify things you may not enjoy reading/seeing at all.
  2. On June 15th 2018, you will receive your recipient’s details: their username, the pairing, and what they like to see drawn/written to help prompt you!
  3. Once we’ve received a general consensus on a firm publishing date (it’s a question in the submission form), we will send an update email to everyone, as well as create a post here.
  4. On whatever date is chosen from #3, post your gift via ao3 (gift it to the user) / Tumblr (@ the recipient), and please @ us! Or, tag it with #gothamrecsgiftexchange, and we will reblog it here. We will also send an updated e-mail to your recipient that their gift is available to view/read! You can post earlier than the deadline date if you really can’t wait!

Please reblog this for event awareness!

Hello @in-the-shadow-of-your-light (oopsie, the tag system doesn’t work -_-’), I was your new buddy for the @gothambuddyexchange !

I drew for you a little Nyllock fanart. I imagined lot of stories for this art : first, Harvey and Ed were at a party, drunk too much and finished naked in the same bathtub; or maybe it’s a little Sugar Daddy AU with a machiavelic Ed who seduced Harvey…I don’t know, what do you think ? ^^

By the way, I hope you will enjoy that (✿ ♥‿♥)

Late gotham buddy gift exchange.

Sincerest apologies, I hope this makes up for it, and if there is anything I can do, just let me know.

The sounds of gurgling pops and something rather ratchet fills the entirety of the cafeteria with disgust.  The smell of something steaming curdles through the air just as Edward walks past the crowded entrance where many inmates still stand in alignment, waiting for their morning brunch.

Cafeteria. Edward snorts. If you could call it that. Even he knows more about cooking than these simpletons do. However in exchange for brownie points….or his good behavior, the chef in charge decides to let him help around with kitchen duty. In return, he gets rewarded extra free time to himself, instead of the unusual punishment he always gets for making some sassy remark about the prison officers and strange’s torturous treatment. But that is not why he volunteers.

The door leading to the main kitchen swings open, as Edward enters inside and takes a look around, his eyes aiming around, hoping to find a perfect figure.

Oswald.

He straights himself, eyes landing to the very much noticeable mess of black hair that identifies much as Oswald. All Arkham newbies do a week’s round of kitchen duty on behalf of their stay and the word around has been he transferred from Gotham city prison to Arkham and…and.. Well he needs to know how he is. Surely Oswald would never be in Arkham so there must be some poorly mistaken situation. It’s been so long since he’s had anyone let alone anyone on his side and he could most certainly use a friend.

His eyes land to his target whose back is turned to him as he sweeps ever so carefully, his little foot dragging along as he limps round, trying not to step in the pile of dust he’s sweeping up. Fear strikes Edward’s heart in a sharp piercing moment of run and panic, but he can’t help but stay completely frozen to the ground. Like a deer in head lights, he can’t take his eyes away. He looks so lovely, despite Arkham’s disgustingly worse condition it’s surprisingly how well groomed and taken care of he appears.

Edward breath hitches. It’s been so long.

With one great sweeping swipe the handle of the large broom flies through the air and spears at him, knocking his in the face. Glasses nearly broken in the process, Ed tumbles to the ground, accidentally clomping to the floor and smashing over a few dishes on a nearby table. Oswald bares no retreat. Instead he gouges the end of the broom at him, smacking repeatedly in the legs and sides.

“EDWARD.” The voice of Oswald yells with fury. A few of the inmates turn and look their way. The attention does not go unnoticed.

Damn that bird can scream, Edward thinks as he tries to cover his face and most protected personal area from being hit. Oswald, huffing, continues to hit him during all this, his face flushed and angered to the extreme.  Edward fails to notice this rage and infact, rather focusing on not wanting any injures or rather to just avoid being taken to the Arkham asylum hospital. The medical system is screwed anyways.

“Oz, wait..” he speaks, voice quick as he’s sure to scurry himself way from his preyful position to the floor and at the mercy of Oswald’s broom. But not for long. The broom is thrown aside with a swift throw, Oswald’s face smiling a rather unpleasant look.

“Oh,” his mouth caves dramatically. “I’ve been waiting Ed, believe me.”

Ed’s eyes narrow before a scoff escapes his lips. Is this because he ratted out Oswald? He’s still mad?

“You know I had no choice. Neither of us would have-”

“Ed! You idiot! No!” He fires. Tears swell up to Oswald’s eyes as he reaches for a glass dish to throw, which thankfully to his aim, lands only partly away from his side. “You never wrote back!”

Eyes lightening, Ed lifts up to his feet. One of the inmates shouts across the room and from the outside of the cafeteria a gun in lifted in the air, it’s rattling effect settling down the outside silence.

Ed is quick to scurry up and make a dash out of his way, but Oswald’s speed catches him, his hand shooting out to grab ahold his. The two exchange a look, a long drawn out look and Ed’s eyes sink, his heart struck. “You missed me?” Are the words he can’t mouth. Instead, Oswald collapses, his body pushed back to the table while Ed buries himself between, his arms around his waist, hoisting him up and finger’s digging deep to his thighs.

Oswald, his back pressed to the table, widens under Ed’s touch and swoons, his face churning a great shade of red. Neither of them need to say it.

Forgetting the public view around, a guard pulls Ed off before he can commit to any further action, leaving Oswald speechless and wanting.

“I missed you.” The small murderous man sputters silently.

Later on that night, after hours of Ed being in lockdown, the door to Oswald’s cell creeks open, causing the bird’s head to turn from his pillow with sudden woken eyes. “Ed?”

“Me?” The familiar face of Ed slides into the dimly lit room, a smile slipping on his chin as the door closes behind him. Holding up a finger, he waves around one of the janitor keys with a big grin. “Guess who forgot to clean up the mess they made?” He speaks, his eyes brows doing a proud wriggle.

Oswald sitting up and straighting out the wrinkles in his sheets, smirks nonstop “How delightful.”

Ed, eyes tracing over the delicious outlined body of Oswald, scans him up and down from under the sheets, a tongue sliding over hips teeth.  Oswald, smiling nervously, shifts and scoots over, patting the room beside for him to join.

Taking a lurking step closer, he inches to the bed and knees his way up the sheets until he’s toppled Oswald face to face. Oswald, afraid to breathe, stares darkly into his eyes. None the less, a gentle smile shies through the look behind Ed’s glasses. “Babe, we don’t have to do anything.”

Unable to stare away, Oswald gulps and licks his lips. Pressing down, he lies still on top him, face nuzzling between his neck with plants of smooth kisses. The penguin’s eyes close with a gasp.

Pleasurable. He could go on like this for days.

“I know.” He manages to grit just as a slick tongue decides to trace over his ear. His hands, it’s unquestionable how long they’ve been arched over his head, leave position and run up to the spine of his back, nails just barley tickling along his neck. There is no such thing as enough of his touch.

“Mm.” Ed’s lips return to their fragile kisses once more, heating Oswald’s skin like coal on leather. A hand clutches the side of his rib cage and ever so slowly he looks up through his dipped glasses. The small frames hardly keeps to his face, but his grin is wide enough to put on a bullboard. “I’d like to.” He chuckles a quiet laugh.

Eyes wide, his heart nearly melting, Oswald nods. “Yes.” He blinks with a bashful smile.

The two sit up, Ed sprawling on his knees with Oswald shuffling to meet him. A hand is guided down to Oswald’s, entertiwning their fingers as their palms hold between each other. Mouth parting, Oswald’s eyes go downward to the space between him before meeting the smiling view of Edward above.

He scoffs, more amazed than anything rather than his usual displeased sassiment. “We fit.”

“Perfectly.” Edward reminds.

Oswald smiles smugly, looking over to the wall to hide his blush. “Mm. Yes.” He agrees, his tone a bubbly giggle. This causes Edward to lean over with a smile, holding his head against his. “I know you well, Mr. Penguin.” He murmurs with a nibble slight against his neck. Oswald shudders, eyes closing. The beat of his pulse against Ed’s grows faster, quite deliciously Ed thinks. He’s really cute.

Oswald moves, his back falling to the bed and neck turning so he can gaze at his lover’s eyes. Edward, settling a leg between his, squeezes his hands. “You are okay, though. Right?” He looks with ultimate concern. Their hands are still holding, spread out before Oswald head.

Oswald blinks, pupils wide, and nods. His cock starts to twitch from underneath. “Maybe not.” Ed smirks, and Oswald erupts in a giggle.

“Shush, just come here,” Oswald rolls his eyes with a fierceness of drama. Their hands unlink, and Ed wastes no hesitation to feather kisses upon the under of his ear. “Idiot.”

I’m a genius.“ He proclaims, huskily, and with a smile.” And you love it.“

"Oh, shush Ed!”

If you didn't post your gift and didn't receive one, you will not be getting a new buddy. You don't get anything for not doing anything. Today I'm getting in contact with those that have said they could help out and be new buddies to the people that did post a gift, but didn't receive one in return. I've been very busy with my mom being in the hospital and I still may not be sure of those who did post and didn't get anything from their partner. So please let me know if you did so you can be reassigned. Those who are getting new buddies do not have to make anything for them. You have already followed the rules of the event and followed through with what you signed up for. Your new buddy will make you something and they will have the rest of the month to do so. If anyone has any questions please send a message to the inbox here.

For @gobblepotstew

(I can never make anything as good as what you made me!!!. I haven’t written in a little while. I hope you enjoy!!!))

Ever since he’s been shot and dumped into the river by that asshole Ed, Jim has been wanting him to stay home. Oswald was not a housewife. He does not make sandwiches for the man who works, he does not clean the house and more importantly, he doesn’t have kids to watch after! Oswald was not happy, to say the least. When they started dating, he should have known this is how it would be. Jim was protective the first second they kissed. Oswald had come to nickname him Little Lion since he was such a protective “mate”. If Oswald looked at someone that Jim didn’t like, he would receive at least three hickeys on his neck as a “claim”. He had to put on a shit ton of makeup on that morning, let me tell you. Long story short, Jim had his way. He was now staying at home and sulking around. He convinced himself he wouldn’t be able to do much anyways, he did have a bullet hole in his stomach. Tonight Jim had decided to come home early, a rare occurrence. Oswald had managed to drift off on their bed while reading. He was.. oddly cute with that scowl on his face. Penguin never didn’t look cute to Jim. The detective managed to pull his uniform off without making too much noise before crawling into the bed. He crawled beside Oswald, still thinking the man was passed out. He didn’t expect Oswald to speak when he wrapped his arms around the bird. “Why the hell do you have your arms around me, asshole? I already told you hands off.” The smaller male growled. Jim snorted softly and pulled him closer, which earned a small groan from Penguin. “Can’t help it. You’re just too cute.” He chuckled, placing a kiss on Oswald’s temple. With that, Oswald weakly tried to fight back from the assault of kisses and hugs, but ultimately failed, just laying there while his lion attacked him. Jim managed to pull the blankets over them while they both drifted to sleep.  ~

Jim woke up first, of course. Oswald was still passed out beside him while he got dressed in something other than his purple boxers. Oswald always made fun of him for wearing such colorful underwear, but he didn’t care. He had learned to get used to Oswald’s constant bickering and bullying. He actually found it endearing at this point. It was bittersweet. He didn’t find anything wrong with his little bird

The one complaint he had about his boyfriend was the lipstick. Part of him loved it, while the other part of him hated it. The kisses Oswald would leave, depending on the color of the lipstick, would stain his skin and clothes. 

One day he wasn’t careful and went to work with lipstick stains on his neck from an earlier session between them. Harvey didn’t let it go until he told him who the lucky girl was. When Harvey found out it wasn’t a girl he was talking about, he shut his mouth. 

The smell of bacon and buttery toast came to Oswald’s nose. It was so strong that it woke him up. His growling stomach and feet led him to the kitchen where he plopped himself down into a chair at the table and waited, still half asleep. It wasn’t until Jim spoke that he started paying attention. 

“Are you just gonna sit there or help me out?”

Oswald stood and stumbled over to Jim, almost losing balance in the process. The blond snorted and wrapped his arm around Oswald small waist, pulling him into his side. Penguin huffed impatiently but leaned into Jim, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips.

“I hate that you’re actually a good looking guy with killer cooking skills.” Oswald grumbled to Jim, slowly turning into him while he nuzzled Jim’s shoulder. 

“I know. You’re so lucky someone didn’t come and scoop me up before you got the chance.”

“As if I would let that happen. Whoever it was would be dead within the hour. You know me, Gordon.” Oswald replied smoothly. 

“That I do.”

Jim took a minute to flip the sausage before he pulled away and lifted Oswald onto the counter, his lips easily moving with the shorter man’s. Jim’s hands wandered up his shirt (on Oswald refuses to give back to him.) while still being very mindful of the healing wound that lay beneath the bandages. Oswald’s pale, soft skin felt heavenly underneath Jim’s fingertips. It was moments like these that he loves. Both of them felt so complete. Luckily, Oswald stopped Jim before he got too far with his.. exploration.

They hadn’t had sex yet. There were several reasons for this. One being that Oswald was insecure, no matter how much Jim told him he was beautiful. Oswald was afraid his ugly looking scars would scare Jim away. He knew they weren’t pretty or wonderful in any way, shape or form. There were plenty more scars on the inside then anything else. The beatings, the name calling. Everything, Every scar made him remember what the people said. He was a freak. A disgusting creature. Worst of all, Jim had watched as some of these things happened to him. They were in the same middle and high school.

Jim could tell Oswald was in another dimension and quickly cupped his face in his hands, placing a kiss on Oswald’s chapped lips. Jim pulled back slightly and smiled. “Don’t think about that. Yeah? You know how much you mean to me. You’re nothing like what they said you were. Nothing. I’m sorry that they did this to you.” Jim mumbled, lifting Oswald’s shirt up slightly, tracing a small scar that Oswald’s main bully had given him. Jim had watched as the asshole pulled the knife on Oswald. Penguin was just a child at the time, scared out of his mind when it happened. That’s when Jim stepped in, earning him a black eye that didn’t go away for weeks.

“I love you, Oswald. What they did to you was terrible. You’re beautiful, from your nose to your freckles.” Jim continued, placing a kiss on the long faded cut.

Oswald smiled, something he rarely did. He hated that he was starting to believe Jim.

I got into the fandom just a little too late to participate in the exchange. Is it only going to happen in October? Will there be any other exchanges during the year? I'd love to be a part of it! I've only ever been a part of one exchange event (for Johnlock) and I LOVED it!! 😄

Avatar

Yes! As soon as I get things tied up and assign the new buddies to the people that created something but didn’t receive anything in return for October’s event, I will start organizing one for December.

The December event will be a little different and I will explain the changes later. This was the first time I’ve ran an event like this and I’ve learned along the way some things that I could do differently to give the artist and writers a little more freedom with their creations.

I have started contacting people who didn't post gifts. If I don't hear from anyone who didn't post by Tuesday, which is the last day I'm accepting late gifts, you will be on my list of non gifters and I will not allow people who didn't follow through to participate in future events ran by me. The people left who posted a gift but didn't receive one will get a new buddy on Tuesday who will make something for you.

For @tennantxbarrowman for the @gothambuddyexchange! I’m sorry it’s a little late, but I hope you enjoy. I’m gonna leave this here for ya; a little fluffy Zsaszlepot.

Title; Warmth
Word Count; 1996
Warnings; None really
Summary: Oswald is having a bad day. Zsasz is surprisingly pushy with his shows of affection.

With a gentle moan, Oswald slumped into the soft couch, arm over his face. He was so frustrated that it was actually overwhelming; he couldn’t figure out of he wanted to cry or scream. That entire week had been one thing after another piling on his already burdened shoulders. Edward escaping his icy prison. Ivy disappearing without a word. Sofia Falcone suddenly appearing and taking some strange interest in him. The spiral of depression and self-loathing had not been set off by any of that, though. Perhaps it was a combination that lent to his swirling emotions, but the catalyst for his sorrow had been something which he couldn’t fix, couldn’t control, couldn’t scheme his way out of.

His leg.
