Okay I think Iโve finally come up with a plot for that jervis story I was telling you about. This is pretty long- Iโm sorry ๐ญ
Basically could follow the same plots as the โcome on Eileenโ story with an age gap but obv themed for Jervisโs character. For the sake of everything, since this could be already dark-ish, instead of Alice being his sister, sheโs his coworker. Very similar story tied with the btas version. Anyways continuing that, letโs say reader is Jim and Barbaraโs kid all the way from episode 1 when they were still in there couple era (I miss it ๐). Jim had custody over reader when Barbara was sent to Arkham but once sheโs out and running the sirens club, her and Jim come to an agreement for the sake of the reader to co-parent. Reader is about 10-13 during that time and then jumping to like season 3 with jervis being introduced, reader is around 17-19 (Iโm not sure if this is the realistic time jump but whatever). During the first episode with how Barbara introduces tabby to jervis, imagine that same scenario but with reader also present. Jervis realizes how much reader reminds him of the book version of Alice with their curiosity, ambition, etc. Iโd like to imagine Barbara finds it cute in a way similar with that one fix you did when jervis was leaving stuff for the reader while tabby is like โStay away from the baby ๐กโ.
Now when Alice gets killed, we know jervis makes him go through all these games of killing and stuff and then he has to choose the one he loves. Instead of Val, itโs reader. As much as Jervis doesnโt want to hurt his current crush, he tries to be nicer about it and shoots them where the bullet wonโt damage them as bad?? Idk where else Iโm goin with this lol. Iโll let you come up with whatever else you wanna do. Be creative if youโd like.
Iโd say basically it follows the plot of season 3 but without Alice and reader is present.
Thank you Cupid ๐๐ค
'DON'T BLAME ME, [PART ONE]
-GOTHAM!JERVIS TETCH X READER-
โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ; Everything's always the same in Gotham. Hard to imagine things changing.
โ tags/warnings. GOTHAM!jervis x female reader. SLOW BURN!!! Not sure how many chapters this will be yet! LOTS OF PLOT SET-UP!! AGE GAP ROMANCE! (reader is Jim and Barbara's daughter) Readers got trauma. Reader's also a cynic and dissociating. She fell first, he fell harder. Writing this kind of artistically and as character studies for everyone. Jervis being an obsessive freak, per usual. Jervis and reader are soulmates, not just in his head but in real life! More about reader is revealed as the story goes on. I'm taking canon out back and beating it with a stick until it stops twitching.
โ tag list (tell me if you want to be removed!) @adalwolfgang @jervis-tetch-my-beloved @honestmrdual @moonlightnyx
Special thanks to @adalwolfgang for giving me the idea for this fic <3 really really excited to make this multichapter !!
โซ โEchoes of your name inside my mind / Halo, hiding my obsession.โ Don't Blame Me by Taylor Swift
You feel like your ten again, staring into space, watching the passerby's from inside a Gala. You're mother used to take you there, when you're dad wasn't available.
You sometimes miss it, even though you used to complain. You hated just sitting there, hours on end, seeing rich people dance; like there weren't people being murdered on the street two blocks down. Maybe you took after your father in that aspect. It was a curse.
Your mom used to do your hair. You remember the way she finger-twirled your curls, gasping as she looked in the mirror. Eyes wide, she always said the same thing.
"Look at you, you're gorgeous!" You'd laugh and hit her on the shoulder, young and innocent. Sometimes, you'd make a mess of her lipsticks and bronzer. You'd try on her dresses which were far too tall for your young stature.
The sound of yelling rips you away from your thoughts.
This place isn't a gala. It's a club. And you didn't get ready with your mom, you got ready in the morning, waking up alone in your dads house.
You watch the two men argue from across the bar. You're cradling a drink; unsure what to do with it. Selina had stole it for you, somehow. You didn't ask questions anymore. You'd known her since you were eleven and she was eight. You didn't really like to drink. She knew that. You don't know where she ran off too.
Mindlessly stirring your glass in your palm, you can't help but squint under the bright blue lights. This place...it's not your first choice of where you'd like to be right now. Never is.
You hear a feminine voice calling you to the front of the club, and you can already guess who it is. You haven't seen her in a little over a week, not that it matters.
You decide to down your drink anyway. Who cares.
Pushing your way through the crowds of Gothamites, you notice the stage light up. Your mother and Tabitha stand in grand dresses. Tabitha's resting, one arm on the bar, looking effectively bored out of her mind. Your mother, on the contrary, looks utterly pleased. You fight the urge to snort.
There's a man on the stage. Long hair, cat-like smile. Your eyes follow the contours of his cheek bones. He's spouting something about waking up from an animal-identity. You're frankly lost, staring into his dark eyes. They look pitch black.
Sounds of clapping arise from the back. You simply suck your teeth. Someone new comes into the club everyday with a different act. This guy certainly wasn't any different.
"A magician? Really?" Tabitha asks, interrupting your thoughts. She sounds displeased and confounded, unsure what to make of Barbara's smile.
"Hypnotist." Your mom answers, correcting her. Ah, so thats what he is. You think. Couldn't hypnotize himself to have a better act? You almost make yourself laugh. Barbara mistakes it for agreeance.
"See! I like him! Y/N likes him!" Barbara chimes, smile lighting up to be a bit more genuine at your laugh. "Like mother like daughter. Plus, the place is packed. Be happy." She waves her drink around. Tabitha still looks peeved.
You want to correct her, but the words 'like mother like daughter' make bile rise in your throat. You don't speak.
"Just a taste, ladies and gentlemen." The man purrs, pulling your attention to him. That dark stare of his never once leaves the crowd. "But now...let us venture into something more arcane."
His eyes drift to you in the crowd, and it feels like a jolt of electricity. You wonder if he feels it too. He must have, since he cocks his head, pausing in his words for a little too long. His brows furrow, until the crowd begins to murmur. It's awfully intense.
You tear your gaze away to look at your mom, wondering if she was who he was looking at instead. It would certainly make more sense, given they must've been around the same age. But as soon as your gaze leaves his, the man clears his throat, and goes right back to speaking.
"The hell was that?" Tabitha whispers to me, and my mind goes blank.
"...No clue."
We watch the rest of the act, intrigued. He makes a man stand on the back of a chair, which definitely does not obey the laws of physics whatsoever. I can see why some people might find this amusing.
Your mom does bring up a good question though.
"So you could get him to do anything you wanted?" She asks, abet too excitedly. You want to roll your eyes. When you were younger, she would've made fun of this guy with you.
The man looks between the two of us, and you squint your eyes.
"Did you have something in mind, Ms. Kean?" He asks, and her gaze darkens. You feel a little sick.
As the act finishes, the man takes one too many bows, but the crowd eats it up. That blinding blue light still bounces off his face. Something about it is...unsettling. You notice it more as he stalks towards the three of you.
"Very impressive, Mr. Tetch." Your mom compliments. Mr. Tetch, huh. Well, you finally have a name for the man. "You have quite the gift. But you didn't answer my question. Can you make people do anything you tell them to do?" She speaks, slowly. Mr. Tetch looks flattered at the praise.
He clicks his tongue. "Only things they secretly wish to do," he remarks, eyes falling on me once more. "It's surprising what people will wish for," His eye contact remains on you, voice getting quieter. "Secretly. Deep down." He repeats.
Your mother makes a sound akin to a pleased hum. Tabitha looks between the man and you, and she looks less than amused.
"True," Tabitha speaks, pushing you to the side a bit. You watch as his gaze leaves yours, and snaps up to her. There's a ghost of a scowl on both of their faces that suddenly makes you confused. "You must be a very popular man."
She takes a swig out of her drink as she says the words, a bit sarcastically. Mr. Tetch, or whatever his name is, doesn't falter in his resolve. He instead offers a polite chuckle.
"Oh, I wish. Parties like this help pave my way, so, thank you."
"And you're new to Gotham?" Your mom asks.
"Yes...just arrived from up north."
"You have a place to stay?" Tabitha asks, head cocked. You begin to feel a bit embarrassed, heat rising in your clothes. They're asking the guy way too many questions. And he's a new comer. Poor man probably doesn't know a thing.
Before the man can answer, you butt in.
"Let the man breathe." You huff, and all three of them look at you in unison. Eyes-narrowed on you, the man blinks. Barbara looks at you, surprised, and Tabitha glares daggers.
Silence surrounds the four of you, and you shiver uncomfortably.
"Just saying." You mumble. Barbara raises an eyebrow.
"You'll have to excuse her. This is my daughter, Y/N."
Jervis's face lights up in realization.
"Ah, I see." He remarks, taking your hand. Tabitha instinctively steps close, watching the way he takes it. He presses a soft kiss to your knuckles. "Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Y/N."
"Thank you," You say, softly, looking into his eyes. It really does feel like time stops. You can understand why people are hypnotized by him.
Tabitha finally steps in between you two, as Barbara watches the interaction with vague intrigue. He drops your hand with some reluctance. You don't blame him.
"I think you should get going." Tabitha says, firm. The man simply nods.
"Very well. Enjoy your night." He speaks. "Ms. Kean, Ms. Y/N." He bids one last nod of goodbye, before turning on his heel.
*like 75% of Gotham men: Alfred, Bullock, Butch, Ed/The Riddler, Jerome, Jervis, Jim, Lucius, Maroni, Penguin, and Zsasz ๐ค
18+ MINORS DNI
Almost everything Alfred does is practiced, and purposeful and despite all his training, heโs still rough around the edges. But when he looks into your eyes, when he hears his name on your lips, all of that hardness and posturing dissipates. He tries to praise you but it comes out all muddled and breathless. So he worships your body as best he can, gently brushing your most sensitive parts with strong calloused hands, rocking your bodies together until youโre as lost as he is. Sometimes he does it with those white cotton gloves still on, and he neglects to clean them for days after because he can still smell you on them.
Bullock talks a big game, but heโs not the man he used to be. Still, what he lacks in youth, he makes up for in enthusiasm. Swollen lips kiss and suck at you, wherever he can find, his scruffy facial hair leaving beard rash on all his favourite parts. Firm, clammy hands pull and grope and guide your body, showing you how he likes it done. โOh yeah, ooooh yeah, baby.โ He pants between ragged breaths and clenched teeth, โFeels so fucking good baby, just like that.โ When heโs done he wipes you down with a wet cloth and a cheeky grin, offering to buy you a drink heโs needed since you started.
Butch is big and sturdy and such a good boy. Butch is happy to say whatever you want to hear, to do whatever you want him to do, for you to use his body however you need to get off. โAnything for you Maโ.โ He gets high on the scent of you, whimpers when you touch his cock, and eagerly licks up any mess heโs made, whenever, and wherever you allow him to. Heโs at your service, just tell him what to do, so long as you shower him with your praise and adoration when youโre done. He especially loves it when you run your fingers through his hair, and plant your kisses behind his ears.
Ed is curious and attentive. His voice is shaky as he asks โIs this okay?โ โDoes that feel good?โ โIs all this because of me?โ His long fingers tentatively exploring every inch of you, in and out, memorising every jerk of your body, retaining every noise you make. He refuses to cum until youโre ready, until youโre fully entwined and engrossed in each other.
But The Riddler knows youโre needy. The Riddler takes advantage of that desperation, because it makes you dumb and mailable. He uses your body for his pleasure, he knows where to twist and pull to make your walls wet and tight around him. When you try to speak, he shushes you, cups your cheeks in gloved hands and coos; โI know, I know. Donโt speak. Just take it.โ
Jerome is unpredictable. Some nights heโs a tease, making you beg and plead for your own defilement. Itโs an act, entertainment, and youโre his favourite performer. When youโre good to him, heโs good to you, but when youโre bad, heโs really really bad. But itโs hard to be good, because he likes to move the goalpost whenever he senses you getting comfortable.
On other nights heโs clingy, and dutiful. He uses you to keep his cock warm, cradling you, swaying your bodies back and forth, inching himself deeper and deeper inside of you, and laughing into the crook of your neck.
Jervis is composed, and poised. He rolls his sleeves up and lets his hat sit askew while you ride him. Likes to watch the way you wither and pant, your eyes grow more and more vacant each time you work his cock deeper into your burning core. Likes to whisper and woo you with his sweet nothings. โArenโt you a treasure? Fucking yourself for my pleasure?โ Itโs such a thrill to watch you come undone for him, especially when youโll unravel yourself willingly.
As to be expected, Jim is the vanilla type. The quiet type, the strong and sturdy type. He makes love to you like itโs his duty, holding you down in missionary or the mating press as he hammers into you in powerful, uniform thrusts into your both coming undone, your name escaping his lips in an atypically soft whisper when he finishes deep inside you. Whatโs less expected is his oral fixation. Jim likes to relieve his stress by loosing himself between your legs, by licking and sucking and biting all the parts that make you flinch. He likes to know heโs left his mark on you, even if itโs confined to the places only he can lay his eyes on.
Lucius is like the cat that got the cream, grinning the whole time, every time. No matter the place or position, he peppers your skin with kisses, the curl of his lips evident with each press of his open mouth. He likes it slow and deep. Holds your feet over his shoulders and sink in until you can both feel his tip press against your cervix. Tell him how good that feels, smile back at him and heโs a goner. He likes to finish in your mouth, likes to watch the way your body perks when his cock twitches against your tongue, the way your expression softens, and your lids grow heavy when his thick, warm cum hits the back of your throat. You can barely roll over to grab the tissue before heโs on you again, ready to assault you with yet another round of smile-laden kisses.
Maroni likes a show, likes to be entertained, likes to know he makes you feel good without barely lifting a finger, heโs just that good, you know? So he lets you grind against him, or lets you ride him, nice and slow. He might play with your nipples when he wants you to make those pretty little noises, or press your tongue down with his think fingers when he wants you to be quiet. After youโve found your release he holds your hips in a vice-like grip as he bucks up into you, deceptively fast for a big guy, until he unloads wherever he sees fit.
Penguin fucks you in a frenzy, high on your body, using you like every time is the first and last chance heโll get. He ruts into you in short, sharp movements. He likes to see you on your knees, worshipping at his feet, taking him in whatever hole he pleases. He likes to rub his cock on your face, likes to mark you with his musk. When he speaks, itโs between shallow, harsh breaths, he begs demands that you call out his name, again, and again, louder and louder, ensuring everyone knows you belong to the King of Gotham.
Zsasz doesnโt care about your pleasure or comfort. In fact, itโs your pain that gets him off. Zsasz will fuck you dry so he can watch you flinch. He pinches, and wrenches, and grabs you like a ragdoll. He enjoys choking you until your neck is bruised and swollen, until you're crying deliciously salty tears that he loves to lick up. He likes to cut you on those fleshy, tender parts, likes to see your deep red blood on his pale hands. He loves to fuck you until youโre shaking, until youโre sore and overstimulated and begging him to stop.

minors DNI!! ๐ cw: fluff, some sexual stuff i mean it's me
At the mercy of the two deeply intelligent men, both renowned in their villainy and yet so completely different in nature, you sighed and moaned. Jonathan Crane and Jervis Tetch were convincing in their efforts to get you to agree to their proposition. What you had at first expected to be something experimental in nature, related to either Jervisโ hypnotism or Jonathanโs nightmare inducing toxins, you had come to realise was entirely sexual in nature, apparent from their immediate devouring of your body once you had enthusiastically agreed to participate.
On either side of your neck, you felt Jonathan and Jervis competing for your soft moans. While his softer counterpart kissed tenderly, whispering sweet nothings into your ear as he ran his tongue softly along your skin, Crane chose to take a different route to your satisfaction. He bit into your skin, the sharp pain drawing a wincing whine from your lips which he pulled back to smirk at. A deep, gritty chuckle spilled from his throat before he brought his mouth down around you again. The dramatic, vampiric move as he clenched his jaw, open wide, around you, sucking at your skin and pulling the blood to the surface.
With a minute change to his temperament, Jervis tried to match his opponent in the crusade for your affection, or for your orgasm, and began to ferociously nibble at your neck and collar bone. With your sudden increase in subtle moans, the sense of praise, that he was doing something right, made his heart leap. With the burst of adrenaline and confidence, he brought his hand to your stomach, walking his fingers up, running his palm along you behind them, and reached for your chest where he settled flat, feeling your heartbeat.
Standing away from you, smiling cruelly at the way your lips and body tried to follow him, desperate for more of his touch, Jonathan stood away. As he sneered you cursed yourself for allowing him a display of your desire, for offering him the upper hand.
Spurred on by his new sense of dominance, something you had both been fighting for since he had first made contact with your body, he shifted his coat back, exposing a small sheath from which he produced a short but sharp blade. It glinted in the light as he held the handle in a tight grip, pointing the tip into his finger as he turned it back and forth, maintaining eye contact with you as Jervis continued his assault on your neck.
โFear drives us. It pushes out ability to respond. Accesses a deeper part of our subconscious and tells us things about ourselves that we never really knew. What do you think it might tell you?โ
You leaned into the blade, letting the tip of it press into your skin just enough that you noticed Jonathanโs chest shudder in brief panic before he composed himself.
โI think, Crane, that itโs telling me Iโm braver than I thought, or at least than you thought. And that what I really crave is the danger. Of you. If you think you can provide me with that.โ
With a sly smile he watched as you gripped the back of Jervisโ head, pushing him down to his knees on the floor. Stepping over him and standing directly in front of him with a complete disregard for his colleagueโs ability to participate, Jonathan blocked Tetchโs view of your body as he took you completely, but not before you grabbed at the front of his shirt and pulled him down to your level. He winced at the sudden jerk in his back. With his nose pressed to yours he narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brows, a stark contrast to the playful and mischievous grin you wore.
โPlay nice, Jonathan.โ
You mocked him, teasing him as you licked at your lips, tongue so close to touching him, but ever so slightly out of reach.
โAre you ok down there, sweetie?โ
Jervis cocked his head out from behind Jonathan and smiled up at you, utter adoration and devotion in his lopsided grin. His soft nature making him a perfectly submissive treat, happy to be there at the service of two bodies that he found deeply tantalising.
With a forceful shove, Jonathan reached behind his back and pushed Jervis face against his rear, knowing his friend to be all too familiar and willing to service him. He pulled at Jonathanโs trousers, exposing his lower half to the cool air of the room in the abandoned warehouse. With his cock bouncing free, Jonathan grabbed it at the base and lined it up with your entrance, offering you one final look, raised eyebrows, an insidious grin playing on his mouth.
โAre you quite ready then?โ
You shot back immediately, not one to back down from any instigation, and wanting Jonathan to know exactly where he stood.
โAre you?โ
With a low growl, Jonathan leaned his head back slightly, enraged that he found himself so desperate, so aroused by your refusal to submit completely, or easily, to him. Jervis on the other hand whimpered at the display of strength, the playful but tense back and forth between you both. This alone was enough to have him bucking his hips ferociously into the air, desperate to find friction, something to rut against. He feverishly delved between Jonathanโs cheeks, tongue firm and strong as he pressed it inside of the tight hole.
Jerked forward by the motion, the head of Jonathanโs cock teased against you and he let out a soft whimper at the sensation, both of them at the same time, taking his body over in pleasure. Furious, ecstatic, he groaned Jervisโ name as you whined Jonathanโs, and pushed forward inside of you, immediately howling in pleasure, the chorus of you and Jervis joining in soon after as you all got into the swing of things.
Notes/warnings: sfw, noncon drugging, noncon nonsexual nudity, reader is called a girl (Jervis is canonically disconnected from sexuality and gender), reader is called Alice, bathing, light blood mention, whump?
Palladium; a silvery white and malleable element used in machinery and computers. Out of the Platinum Group, it has the lowest melting point and is the least dense.
โSuch a silly girl, Alice.โ The all too familiar and thin voice sang. High off the remaining Succinylcholine you lay limply in the already dirty bath water. Jervis has removed his gloves and coat to take a rag and wash away the dirt and bloody scratches over your body. โAll those thorns must've been terrible, why did you want to play in the garden again?โ
Of course you hadn't been playing in the garden, instead trying to escape once again. To no avail, nonetheless and to your dismay. His henchmen had grabbed you before you could truly get through the bushes. You couldn't give him a proper answer, just a loopy mumble of nonsense.
Jervis moved his hands to your legs. The soapy rag burned in some deeper cuts, of which made the Hatter tut at every displeased groan from your throat. โJust behave. We're not done yet, dear Alice.โ The rag circled over your calves slowly and methodically. Rose scented soapy water didn't feel as comfortable as it would be if he was here.
Next was your hair, his favorite part of you. A thick glob of shampoo is lathered in his hands before he runs them through your hair and to your scalp. It seems he was going at such a snail's pace just to feel it more. You wanted to pull away, to yell at him or slap him, but instead let out a sluggish huff of protest.
โHush, dear. Relax for me, just go back to that sleepy little space in your head. I do have to apologize, I didn't mean to give you so much.โ He pouted. Rinsing his hands in the water momentarily, he continues, โNitrous Oxide is so hard to get these days, I hope you can forgive me when you come to your senses.โ He carefully tilts your chin and begins to rinse your hair.
Finally it was time for the conditioner, then this session would be over. Unlike the shampoo, he only used a small dollop. He had begun to hum to himself. โAfter this, it's snuggle time. Maybe I should up that dosage, thoughโฆโ

___________________________________________
~Jervis is not a good man,
~he's very far from it,
~But he can be a decent person if he wants to be,
~and for you, he'd gladly be more than a decent person, <3
~or more like a decent little lovestruck madman
~But only for you, nobody else,
~And so, despite really needing for his teaparties to be exactly that certain way he likes them,
~he does go out of his way to accommodate to your needs and preferences,
~He really wants for you to enjoy his teaparties and be comfortable, ;^;
~You're his Alice after all, you deserve the best!
~And what all that means?
~Well, glad you asked! :3
~First off, if you don't like the cutlery, cups and dishes he uses, he doesn't get upset,
~he lets you bring your own if you wish and need that,
~he respects that, and doesn't make a fuss about it even if he'd literally never allow for anyone else to refuse to use his treasured beautiful porcelain teaparty set,
~that's how dear you are to him, <3
~On another note, if you're like me and don't necessarily need your own dishes, cups and cutlery BUT you do favour some dishes, cups and cutlery over the others,
~and if you do subconsciously create a routine to use a specific pair of cutlery, cups and dishes,
~then Jervis always makes sure you get to use that specific pair on any of his teaparties,
~and he reserves that specific pair of cutlery, cups and dishes just for you,
~No-one, and I mean no-one is allowed to use that specific pair anymore,
~the moment you show you prefer that pair, everyone else loses their privileges to use that pair,
~Now another thing - Safefood and Samefood,
~Jervis is really good at making various snacks and treats for his teaparties,
~so, each teaparty you'll have wide variety of things to choose from,
~and he tends to come up with something new all the time,
~However, if you show you prefer to eat the same snacks at each teaparty,
~and if you show to be uncomfortable or distressed at not being able to get your usual,
~Jervis will go out of his way to make sure that on each of his teaparties you get to have the same snacks,
~Of course he'll also include some new treats too because he himself can't eat the same thing all the time,
~but you definitely get to have your samefood at each teaparty,
~he always makes sure that you do, <3
~Also, if you have any specific safefood, Jervis always includes it on his teaparties,
~even if the food or drink is not that fit for a teaparty,
~Oh, and if you happen to not like some snack Jervis made because of the texture,
~then you won't see the snack on his teaparties ever again,
~that specific snack will be a taboo, ^^"
~Now another thing!
~Jervis likes to dress up for his teaparties,
~he really likes to look all fancy and wonderland like,
~and he would like that for you too,
~but again, if you have issues with wearing more fancy clothes due to them being uncomfortable or something,
~Jervis will be more understanding, and won't force you to dress up for him,
~he doesn't want you to get exhausted and distressed from wearing something that you do not like, ;^;
~After all, his teaparties are meant to be a pleasant experience for you where you can be yourself and feel happy,
~unlike how his teaparties work for others
~However, if you're willing to dress up for him, Jervis will be ecstatic,
~and if you don't have anything that would be that fit for the specific vibe Jervis craves so much,
~just ask him, cuz Jervis has so many costumes for that purpose,
~But don't worry!
~If you are sensitive to certain materials, and if you wouldn't find any good costume for your liking,
~then Jervis definitely would be up to getting you a custom outfit for his teaparties, only made of materials you can stand, <3
~Aaand here goes another thing!
~If you are sensitive to noise, Jervis makes sure that the teaparties are held in peace,
~he makes sure the place isn't loud, he himself talks gently and at a volume you can tolerate,
~he even controls his reactions a lot to make sure he won't startle you or anything,
~which can sometimes be a little hard for him, but he tries his best for you,
~oh, and his men are usually not allowed to be around either,
~they are usually ordered to be in a different room or something,
~and damn, if they ever disturb or are too loud and make you distressed...
~well, I'm sure you can imagine what happens... (โ ^โ ๏ฝโ ^โ ;โ )โ ใ
~However if you are the opposite and you like noise,
~then Jervis goes all out, he doesn't hold back,
~he talks at a slightly louder volume, he's expressive, enthusiastic, impulsive and if wanted, he lets some intense classical music (or maybe a different genre if you ask nice enough) be played in the background,
~and of course he lets you be as loud as you want, <3
~you can talks as loud as you please, you can make noise and stim, no shame, no holding back,
~and if you really are sensory seeking, you're allowed to touch anything that catches your interest,
~sometimes Jervis will even prepare random yet interesting decorations, wanting to see whether or not will that item catch your interest,
~Also if you like crunchy food, then Jervis makes sure you get as much of it as you'd like,
~if your sensory seeking makes you crave physical contact, you get all of it,
~you can sit close and lean on him, you can mess with his hands, trace his face,
~Jervi's favourite form of physical contact is holding your hand and squeezing it, ^^
~and if you like getting your hair brushed and played with, then that also happens a lot because that's the second form of physical contact Jervis simply adores,
~And probably the last thing,
~if you feel like talking, you can talk as much as you'd like,
~you can talk and talk about whatever you want, Jervis will listen intently,
~Jervia adores hearing you talk, especially about your special interest, no matter what it is,
~And just between you and me, Jervis will deliberately ask you questions regarding your special interest to get you to talk,
~and then he just sits back and watches you with a satisfied, loving smile as you go on and ramble his ears off,
~he loves it,
~And well, that's probably all I can say for now, ^^
~Well, how do I end this...
~Jervis really isn't a good man,
~but he tries to be his best self when he's with you,
~you mean so much to him,
~you're his greatest treasure, and he'll do anything to keep you around, ;^;
~I mean, he won't change who he is,
~but he definitely tries to be a slightly better man with you, <3
โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ; You meet the man from the club again.
โ tags/warnings. GOTHAM!jervis x female reader. SLOW BURN!!! Not sure how many chapters this will be yet! LOTS OF PLOT SET-UP!! AGE GAP ROMANCE! (reader is Jim and Barbara's daughter) Jervis and reader are lowkey Hamilton and Burr parallels. She fell first, he fell harder. Writing this kind of artistically and as character studies for everyone. Reader's still reminiscing. Daddy issues. Jervis being an obsessive freak, per usual. More reader lore is dropped. I'm taking canon out back and beating it with a stick until it stops twitching. Jim Gordon is...Jim Gordoning.

โซ โSomething happened for the first time, in the darkest little paradise.โ Don't Blame Me by Taylor Swift
Everything feels cold on mornings like these.
The light bleeds in through the venetian blinds, gray and gloomy. You huddle into the blankets, clinging to any warmth you can find. It's your dads house, or rather, apartment. You remember waking up in a king-sized bed years prior.
Your thoughts drift back to old memories again. You wish you could push them out.
"Dad, I'm scared." You say, seven years old, middle of the night, clutching a rabbit stuffed animal. Your mom rubs her face, still groggy and half-awake.
"Hey, hey. It's okay." He whispers through his own fatigue, stretching out his arms for you to join them on the bed. "Why are you scared?"
You hop on the bed, crawling into him. Your mother tosses, turning over with a lazy hum before drifting back to sleep. You squeeze your rabbit, Mr. Marbles, and bury yourself in the covers.
"What if they get me?" You ask, voice small. You can't see your fathers eyes soften through the darkness.
"Who?" He seems to sober up from sleep at your question, clearing his throat. His voice becomes a bit clearer.
"The bad guys." You say the words like they're sacred. It feels hard to get them out, and it feels swallowing salt-water.
Silence.
"I won't let them, I swear to you." Your dads voice speaks, and in his arms, you feel sleep slowly return to you. "I'm gonna protect you. And mommy."
"What about you?"
Silence.
"Go to sleep, Y/N. Everything's going to be okay."
You fell asleep that night, quiet, waking up to pancakes, and light that was much warmer than what you have now.
You sit up in your own bed, cramped. You heave a sigh, rubbing your temples. You're not tired like you should be. You stayed up the previous night, jumping roof-tops with Selina. It was a welcome distraction, the adrenaline that pooled in your blood at night. Mornings in Gotham were worse.
You hear whispers in the room over. Thin walls. You don't care to listen as you get dressed, but you do wonder who exactly your father could be talking too.
"How'd you find me?"
"Oh, you're famous, sir. You're names in the papers. The famous bounty hunter." You wince. Jim Gordon. Your father. The bounty hunter.
You walk to the room quietly, before stopping. You see the two men sitting down, and you piece together just who exactly is on the couch.
Both men turn to face you at the interruption, and Mr. Tetch looks equally as surprised as you are. His eyebrows pull together, and your dad looks like he's been caught doing something. He knows you don't approve of this bounty hunter bullshit.
"Ms. Y/N?" Mr. Tetch calls, and Jim picks his head up at this. He gives you a look.
"You two have met...?" Your dad speaks, sizing up the situation in concerned curiosity.
Before you can answer, Mr. Tetch does for you.
"Yes, sir. We've met at the Siren's club. Your daughter, I presume?" He asks, inquisitively. He looks as though gears are turning in his head. Jim simply nods, a bit uncertainly.
"Hi." You give a small wave. Mr. Tetch brightens up at this, somehow fascinated.
"Right." Jim says, slowly. He looks back between the two of you.
That familiar feeling of silence sounds out again. It tastes bitter.
"...I want you to find my dear friend." Mr. Tetch speaks up. "We're very close. But...her condition proved too much for me. I sought help, the worst kind, the fiend. Professor Strange." He hisses the insult with venom. You watch your dad raise a brow as he sips his coffee.
"Her condition?" He asks, and you marvel at the words. How odd.
"Some poison, in her blood." The man responds, like it's casual. "very rare, unique, in fact. He took her in. Said she needed constant supervision. He wouldn't let me see her."
There's an edge to his voice. The way he talks about this friend of his. Poisoned blood, you think, curious. For some reason it embitters you. You hate this fucking city sometimes.
"You go to the police?" Your dad asks. Of course he'd ask that.
"Useless." Mr. Tetch says, solemnly. "This is Gotham, after all."
You let out a soft chuckle at that, which makes both of them look at you. Both sets of eyes zone in on you. Your dad looks disappointed.
"Well, he's not wrong." You nip, and Mr. Tetch cocks his head up. "The GCPD is a shit show."
Mr. Tetch looks surprised at your audacity, and a bit amused. Your father reprimands you.
"Y/N." He says, and you bite back a retort. He sighs, dragging a hand along his face. "Indian Hill escapees get five grand from the GCPD. You able to top that?"
You remember when all the money in the world couldn't have swayed the famous Jim Gordon from his duty.
Mr. Tetch pulls out a wide wad of cash from his pocket, "I'll double it." He speaks. Woah. Did your mom give him that much for just one show? No way in hell. He must have gotten this money somewhere else.
"I'll see what I can do." Jim says, without question. You want to roll your eyes.
"Thank you, very much." The man responds. Polite, isn't he?
You watch as your dad pockets the money, and how he's handed a photo of a beautiful woman. In a strange way, it makes you feel a bit insecure.
"Leave your number-" Jim goes to speak, when Mr. Tetch interrupts him, handing a business card. Eager much.
The man leaves without a word, sending you a final glance before he turns. Those dark eyes...they startle you. He sends a small, intrigued smile. Again, it feels like the world stops. Your breath catches in your throat.
When he's gone, you stand on your toes to hover over your dads shoulder. You two stare at the business card in synonymous silence.
"The Great Jervis Tetch" Hah. So that's his first name. Jervis.
You suddenly feel warm. Maybe this house isn't that cold after all.
Hello! I love your Gotham character letters and I was wondering if you could do the J squad (separately) writing the reader a letter promising to come visit them soon because they escaped from Arkham but they canโt yet cause of Gordon and the GCPD? Thank you!!!!
A/N: A situation ship is a relationship that hasn't been explicitly defined but you can view your relationship with these boys however you wish. I also tested out more rhymes with Jervis.
NOTES: possible part 2? 3rd person, reader is female
WARNINGS: pet names.
After Jerome, Jervis, and Jonathan all subsequently caused chaos after their breakout of Arkham, each one had been mumbling about the future plan led on by none other than Jerome himself.
Hours and hours Jerome would hype himself up and scatter around the huge mansion as he concocted an idea alongside Crane and Tetch.
When the day did finally arrive for the Legion of Horribles to gather around for a meeting, she nonetheless was left out of it for safety reasons.
That was, until she heard a very scratchy voice yell.
โUse the tongs, Carl!โ
Knowing that it was her boyfriend's voice, she got up, and made her way to the dining room, where Jerome was the last one to notice her arrival.
She sauntered up to him, placing her hands on his shoulders and leaned in close. โSo I heard someone making big boy plans without me, hm?โ
Jerome chuckled, โAh, dollface. Ya figured me out, haven't you?โ He turned his head to look at her, inhaling her scent as if it were the last time he would. โI'll fill you in later. For now, you should get ready. I've got a big day planned for ya, princess.โ
She tutted, a small smile on her face, before getting back up. Humming, she gently scratched the top of Jerome's head, knowing he loved how it felt. โIs that so?โ She kissed the back of his head, โThen I'll be waiting, my little ginger menace.โ
As she walked back, his eyes were glued on her, a look of endless infatuation deep within his eyes. He had to tear himself away before clearing his throat. โAlright, cronies, back to where we left off...โ
Small man, Jervis Tetch dating a tall and/or chubby reader and wearing one of their shirts. Naturally, it's entirely too big on him which just makes it extra cute.
