    Summary

    “Hey, Oswald.”

    It’s the hushed coo of his name that gets Oswald’s attention. He peers over his shoulder, can just barely make out Jerome’s hand on the vent and those awful, pretty eyes that focus on Oswald without wavering.

    “Come down here.”

    --

    Wrestling with the traumatic memories of his last stay in Arkham, Oswald finds a comforting routine in Jerome.

    Summary

    "Putting honey in the lion’s mouth, Brucie?“ Jerome’s voice runs warm behind Bruce‘s ear. It rolls over his neck and close to his spine like a solemn but ardent reminder of death. "It’ll eat you up. It eats everything.“ He pauses, years caught in one halt of breath. “It ate me.“
    It‘s a trap. Bruce should know better than to encourage him. He should take measures now, hit Jerome in the unprotected pit of his stomach and flee while he tumbles over in pain since otherwise he’ll never leave this circle of hate and sickened obsession they’ve built with their fists and half-deaths. But he can‘t find no reason to. He doesn‘t want to dig that deep. For once in his life, he doesn‘t want to strive for being any better than he actually is.

    He’s the young hero Gotham sets its hopes on, and Jerome is a murderer who’s lost the wheel ages ago. Outdated roles for an outdated story.

    'What a terrible, terrific match we make', he muses, yanks Jerome back on his hair and kisses him with all the self-disgust and desperation he can muster. 'We’ll never get along. We‘ll destroy each other, and call it love.'

    But when Jerome kisses back, starved and angry, Bruce knows that it won‘t matter. He already made the choice.

    "Strip."
    Oswald blinked. He must have misheard.
    "Pardon me?", he said, laughing nervously.
    "I said, strip."

    Summary

    Oswald is Jim's contact inside the underworld, but when a briefing goes wrong and they get close to being discovered, Jim comes up with a plan to exonerate them both.

    After all, he'd have to be insane to willingly let The Penguin beat him up, right?
