Summary
“Do you really think that’s wise?” [Oswald] asked flippantly. “After all, you did kill your girlfriend.”
“I don’t want to kill you, and—” Edward huffed, trailing his fingers down Oswald’s spine, as if the very idea were absurd “—you are not my girlfriend.”

Summary
The first four stories in this series can be read as stand-alones. All of the stories thereafter pick up where “When You Find It, Run” leaves off (or are inset ficlets taking place during “When You Find It, Run,” kind of like missing scenes) and form a broader overarching storyline.

Summary
“Do I really get to have you?” [Edward] asked eventually, in a near-whisper. “Do we really get to have this?”
“Until our hearts stop,” Oswald promised. “And maybe even longer. After all, this is Gotham.”
Edward shivered, likely thinking of the recent resurrections.
“I wouldn't want to come back different,” he insisted, heartrendingly anxious. “I wouldn't want to forget.”
“I would find you again,” Oswald said with dreadful, determined certainty. “I would tear this city down brick by brick if that's what it would take.”

Summary
The first and third stories, “Triage” and “Darkroom,” can be read independently of each other and the rest of the series as stand-alones (but it’s worth mentioning that “Triage” does nonetheless contain events relevant to a smaller plot thread near the end of “Darkroom”). Similarly, the second piece, “The Talk.” can be read as a stand-alone. If you wish to read the last handful of pieces in this series, please note that you'll need to have read everything from “Darkroom” forward. Continuity matters quite a bit, as some of the stories pick up the moment after the previous ones end.

Summary
“Don't look now, but those camera-flashes are aimed at us,” Oswald muttered, claiming Edward's untouched third drink. “This was a terrible—”
The sound that pitched the back-end of Wayne Enterprises' float into chaos sounded approximately like a bottle rocket. Unclear, whether the perpetrator had launched his distraction from the crowd and climbed aboard or emerged from somewhere within—but, suddenly, there he was.
“Mr., Ms., and Mx., step right on up,” crowed Jerome, his bare, freckled arms spread wide as Wayne Enterprises employees screamed and gave him a wide berth. “It's time for the greatest show on earth! Or, uh...nope, scratch that. I'm giving the rest of these weirdos way too much credit. Greatest show in the tri-state area! Just roll with it.”
Leaning heavily with his jaw pressed into his right palm, Oswald left-handedly upended a liberal amount of costly champagne into one of his empty glasses. “There goes the neighborhood,” he slurred.

Summary
“Hey, if it isn’t everybody’s favorite limey,” Harvey said, rolling down the driver’s side window.
Jim leaned forward enough to peer outside with a frown. “Alfred,” he said. “Merry Christmas.”
“Same,” Alfred agreed, proffering the cups until each had taken one. “Mind if I join you?”
“You mean in the car?” Harvey asked, slurping his eggnog. “Whooo-eee. Nope.”
Once they’d grudgingly unlocked the vehicle, Alfred opened the back door and slid in.
“What brings you to this evening’s festivities?” Alfred asked, already knowing the answer.
“Personally?” Jim countered. “The lack of an invitation. Professionally? The entire guest list.”

Summary
Jim’s first impulse was to chew [Harvey] out for joking, but he was upset enough to get to the point.
“I'm not sure how to explain this,” he said tensely, rubbing his temple with the joint of his thumb, “but I was accidentally the second witness for Penguin and Nygma's wedding.”
Without so much as blinking, Harvey pulled his bottle of whiskey and two glasses out of the bottom drawer. He poured them generous shots, handing one to Jim.
"You poor fuckin' bastard,” he sighed, eyes soulful with compassion. “Wanna talk about it?”

“Holy crap,” Bullock blurted, staring in glaze-eyed disbelief over Allen's shoulder.
“Hello,” Oswald said, enjoying the assembly's consternation. “I am Oswald Cobblepot.”
“You son of a bitch,” Bullock muttered, making a move toward Gordon. “You son of a—”
“Harvey,” said Jim, his voice low with warning as colleagues stepped in to restrain them both.
“You owe me an escort after all this trouble, Jim,” Oswald said primly. “Wouldn't you agree?”
“I'm not sure I understand,” Jim replied, looking Oswald up and down. “You're walking fine.”

Summary
“So you got engaged without telling the gang?” Zsasz asked wryly. “I love a wedding, you know me.”
“Rings have yet to be acquired,” replied Oswald, with acerbic satisfaction, “but yes. Date TBA.”
“Will you let your old man live to see it?” Zsasz pressed on. “That's just courtesy. I can off him after.”
“Gabe, are we paying him for his conversation or for his marksmanship?” Oswald asked disdainfully.
Zsasz put both of his gloved hands in the air and didn't say another word until they'd reached the docks.

Summary
“An ultimatum, then,” [Jeremiah] said with startling gravitas. “I won’t just be your plaything. This isn’t a game, I’ve put it all on the line, and I won’t just do whatever you want for scraps anymore, Bruce. I’ve given you all of myself, and now? I need all of you.”
“What’s that even supposed to mean?” Bruce asked helplessly, despising himself for having lost control.
“Bruce,” Jeremiah sighed almost tenderly, scrabbling above his head. He brought a shard of scrap-metal up against Bruce’s throat. “My lover, my heart. My fearless Jack of Spades. Figure it out.”
Bruce delivered a skull-cracking blow to the side of Jeremiah’s head before he could press the metal into Bruce’s throat any harder, rolling off him in sheer exhaustion.

“You guys been readin’ my journal?” Jerome asked testily. “That’s an invasion of privacy.”
Jim rose from his seat, and Harvey followed. “You get ten minutes with your next-of-kin.”
The blonde who walked in had a black ribbon around her neck. She sat down across from him.
“If I were to untie that,” Jerome said, indicating her satin choker, “would your head fall off?”
“You don’t know me, but I represent someone who knows you,” said the young woman. “He’d like to make amends.”
“Tell that coward,” Jerome spat, “that I don’t need his—blood money, heh. Ironic.”

Summary
“Don’t pretend this isn’t your fault, genius,” Jerome said reproachfully, loitering at the farthest corner of the holding cell from where Jeremiah sat calmly on the bench. The bridge of his nose and his left cheekbone had sustained cuts.
“I don’t have time for your blame-game,” Jeremiah said, grateful [Ecco] was at the desk. “Besides, this is win-win for you. I suffer public humiliation, and our uncle’s dead.” He licked his split lip, prodding the bruised flesh beneath his right eye.
Somewhere between the bailiff unlocking the cell and [Ecco] shoving a clipboard at them for signatures, the station had gained another arrival. Jeremiah had no sooner signed the form and handed it off to Jerome than his eyes fell on who it was.
Bruce Wayne looked less polished than the recent photograph Jeremiah had seen. However, seeing him in motion—arguing with Gordon about how the hell he could just let Jerome go—drove home how little newsprint did him justice.

Summary
On their arrival at the mansion, Olga was waiting just inside the door with her coat on and handbag primly clutched in both hands. She took one look at them and sniffed.
“So you get married after resignation,” she said, enunciating resignation with care to show that she had learned and assimilated it, “and do not tell me. That Vale woman on television says.”
“As much as I would have liked you to witness,” said Edward, testily, “we needed you here at the house.”
“For what it's worth, I didn't know we were getting married,” Oswald volunteered, shrugging out of his jacket. “Edward just...sprang it on me. Like he does. Not that I'm complaining.”
“Well, I am complaining,” Olga replied curtly, side-stepping them to re-open the door. “I take day off. Table is clean, is borscht in fridge you can heat later. Fresh bread in box. I go home and read.”

“Whatever the hell this is about, it had better be good,” [Valerie] said. “Can’t we go talk in the park?”
Bruce shoved his hands in his pockets as they strolled across the plaza. “Yes, but it’s urgent.”
Valerie gazed a short distance ahead, her restless eyes tracking shadows. “Jerome’s alive, isn’t he?”
“I’m afraid so,” Bruce admitted. “It’s why the casket was empty. That’s not the only thing.”
