For the event, may I request YJ!Riddler reacting to a love confession?

 A/N: Eeee yes of course I can do that Snow! Thanks so much for being the first submission! It’s an honor to write about your baby girl 💚

Young Justice Riddler - Love Confession Headcanons

The two of you had some downtime at the headquarters. 

You were alone and things were peaceful and not chaotic for once. 

You gulp down your nerves and get Ed’s attention. 

After some rambling about your friendship and how you got to where you both are now.

Edward was having a panic attack, already assuming the worst. 

Oh god, they’re sick of me, they’ve spent so much time with me and they see it as a waste.

He’s already apologizing and almost begging you to stay his friend as soon as you admit your love for him.

Silence fills the space as you both wrap your minds over what the other said. 

Ed is shocked. “Wait, what did you say?”

You can’t help but giggle, you reiterate that you love him. 

You want to be a couple. An item. More than friends.  

For a young man that’s only ever experienced the worst, he had no idea how to compute or respond to…something positive. 

He’s still in disbelief, he’s still tripping over his words. 

But he’s excited, for once, he’s so excited and thrilled for the future. 

“I-I-I…I like you, I mean..l-love you too, like…a lot. Wait..that was dumb..” 

Please hug him and reassure him, and also remind him the next day that this wasn’t just a dream. 

If you kiss his cheek in the reassurance that your feelings are true, be quick to catch him. 

Poor boy is very likely to faint.

Whoops, I've forgotten to post this video for a while now! Here's the updated version of my Young Justice Riddler compilation. There's an extra 10 seconds of footage, and the video is cleaned up a bit more in a few areas. Enjoy!

[quandaryqueen]

He has a serious relationship with S/O who has a kid. After some time he helped the kid with something and they went "Thanks dad." Without realizing.

Thanks dad

Edward Nygma X Reader

FIRST OF ALL THAT'S PRECIOUS OMFG 😍

💚 Young Justice

Children? Oh he fights them on a daily basis... He can't say that, can he? Ahh, fuck.

Look, he is one desperate cookie and those who glance upon him, he is latching himself to them faster than you can blink, regardless of who they are. A ten is still a ten even if they have a child from a previous relationship, he is willing to take any baggage, child included... N-No, he didn't mean to call the child a baggage--

Oh kids... Yeah, he doesn't really have a positive thing to say about them, especially when they're certain inconvenience that will render his plans collapsed because of them... But it's your child, they're an exception.

The little thing is tolerable for sure. A bit hyperactive, but what child isn't? A six year old who has a lot of question for the world, confused about socialising but his heart is at the right path.

Guess what their name is... Robin. An energetic gymnast with a penchant to ask plenty of questions, a known witty ass... Um yeah.

NO WORRIES, HE DOESN'T — ahem, he doesn't hate the boy at all! Even if he shares striking similarities with the boy wonder, he's checked just in case... Though sometimes he doubts himself, but then he is reminded that, in fact, Boy wonder Robin is no longer six years old, whereas Robin-Y/N's-son is only six years old.

Anyways, Edward picked up Robin from school for today and they greeted you with a concerning sight; your son holding a bloody handkerchief to their nose and your Edward's shirt bloodied with, presumably and hopefully, your son's blood... That is phrased wrong, but you know what I mean, right?

Edward then explains to you about Robin failing to secure himself in his seat and one abrupt halt after an encounter with a dumbass driver, your son was sent hurling forward and slamming his face against the seat in front of him. Oh Edward, our sweet Edward was a nervous wreck and it went a little something like this:

"Oh my god are you okay, buddy? Oh shi--oot. Oh no, oh no, oh no."

Edward bends back over the backseats, but to no avail, he resorts to leaving the driver's seat and entering the back. He nervously inspect your son, wincing when his fingers touched and stained with blood, but he pushes through his squeamishness and pinches Robin's nose, all the while, his free hand hunts for his spare handkerchief.

"Am okaaay," Beams your son with a nasally voice, his big eyes identical to yours looking up at Edward. "That's a lot of blood."

"Oh no, Y/N's going to kill me!" He squeaks, finally able to get a hold of a handkerchief before using it to pinch your boy's nose.

"Yeah, blood is hard to get off a white shirt... And it's brand new." Oh bless his heart.

"Whatever you do, don't tilt your head up," Edward says, absentmindedly wiping his bloody fingers on his shirt before reaching for the bottle of sanitiser in the glove box. Luckily, he spots a bag of wet wipes and opts to use it instead. "Give me your hand."

Robin puts a hand out and Edward got to work with ridding the red from Robin's fingers and palm. Robin switches to his other hand and Edward does the same. During the act, even in concentration and panic, Robin's nasally voice does not slip his ears.

"Thanks dad."

.... Augh 😫

💚 Arkhamverse

Children are not his thing, he'd like to stay away from those fussy miniature humans with underdeveloped minds as much as possible... But he is making an exception with this one that happened to be his favourite person's daughter.

At first he was a touch tense around your daughter, opting to lean away and at times, dismiss them as much as he can, until you scolded him to include her as a package that comes in the relationship and if he doesn't want that, then he should drop the relationship all together. Apparently he loves you enough thay he began to be less dismissive of the child.

... he supposes your daughter, Helen, isn't that bad. She's tolerable unlike other children. Curious little thing, fidgety, and a bit timid. At first she too was afraid of Edward, sensing that she isn't wanted to be dealt with, until he himself began warming up to her that the nine year old began to open up as well.

Peaking from the threshold of the kitchen, you spot Edward who had just crawled out his development facilities and freshly bathed, sitting across the counter from Helen as she moves between to the surface of the counter and the stove where a pot is boiling. Tipping your head upwards, to see a chess board on the countertop.

You remembered how Helen brought up yesterday she needed to enhance her puzzling skills to compete against other schools. She had only recently developed an interest to puzzles thanks to Edward and specifically towards chess.

"Are you sure that's your final move?" Edward asks after Helen has placed a piece down on the board.

Helen, upon being greeted by this question many times, began to analyzing and questioning her move. Noticing what he is implying, she takes her move back and places her piece elsewhere.

"Good. Remember, during a real chess match, you can't just hope your opponent does not capture your piece."

"Okay... Thanks dad."

Edward's game plan to destroy the child with a checkmate once again has been thwarted with a single word. Dad... DAD---

Short circuiting. Give him a moment to process. He got knocked off-guard so hard he lost to Helen. Well, she can't just call her opponent's 'dad' to catch them as off guard as Edward now can she?

💚 Batman the animated series

He is selective when it comes to children. On the other hand, he had made a demographic out of younger groups of people and kept them in mind when it comes to developing video games and on the other, he can find a few of them as obnoxious and he actively turn away from them just so he could act out the urge to smack a child.

But your daughter Meri was nothing but am absolute dear, Edward couldn't help but to simply adore the precious little babe! A polite young lady who is a touch playful and is an absolute delight to talk to! Edward couldn't help but to want to spoil the girl! ... If you'd allow him. Can he? Okay, not too much, just this Gameboy.

Meri doesn't play videogames all that much but when Edward introduced her to a Gameboy, oh boy, he might just make a gamer girl out of he. I mean, since the man has also the intricate knowledge about programming, he might get her interested in it as well! The process of which Edward was teaching her now to be accustomed with playing with one is something they bond over, at times where Meri couldn't bear a certain level she would tug in Edward's sleeve and ask him to help her out.

How could he say no to the face that resembled you??? Tasks and agenda are now thrown away, we must beat this level of Super Mario Bros. It will cost him his career as a Internationally renowned threat as a rogue, but he says it's worth it. Why, you may ask?

"YAY! Thanks dad, you're the greatest!"

Among the influx of emotions, the only implication of the absolute joy he feels inside leaks through his soft smile and he pulls your daughter against his chest and pats her head.

Heeeeeeeeeey 👀 CONGRATS ON 500! WE LOVE YOU

May I have 🤍🍷and 😍 for YJ Riddler please? With extra angst, that would be appreciated, thank you!

Bolder

young justice!riddler x gn!reader/drunk kiss extra angst coming right up, i hate not giving this lil fella what he wants ;-; minors DNI!! 🔞 500 words, cw: angst, pining, drunk, kissing, unwanted kiss requests are closed • kofi link • minors DNI • tag: finnie500

All evening, you had tried to avoid Edward. You didn’t want to be rude, but there was only so much you could take of his riddles and boasting, somehow still nervous even as he went on about how great he was. If only he could solve that one, The Riddler, a difficult puzzle even to himself.

You had him all figured out though. Over-compensation, self-esteem issues bolstered by his lack of self-awareness. Shy, but desperate not to be. He might have been tolerable, cute even, if he would lean into his softer attributes, but alas, he could never let anyone think he was weak, vulnerable, even though everyone was already aware that besides mental strength, there wasn’t much else to him.

And since you had realised he had a crush on you, it had been much worse. He lingered, found excuses to talk to you, forever asking for your approval, for you to tell him how clever he was, or how great his plans were. But you had nothing to give to him. You were remaining distanced. Because you just couldn’t find it in yourself.

Despite trying your hardest to stay out of his way though, he had found you. Stumbling over, cornering you, and offering a lopsided smile.

“Hello…why are you…avoiding me?”

You sighed, trying not to seem like you were completely inconvenienced by his presence.

“I’m not ignoring you, Eddie. I’ve just been busy…talking to other people.”

“Who is better to talk to than me? I’m the greatest!”

He slurred his words. It was painfully obvious that Edward Nygma was a bit of a lightweight, unable to handle his booze, possibly because no one ever invited him out to socialise that often.

“You don’t drink normally, do you?”

“No I do not. It impairs…the mental…facili...facul…thinkies!”

“Mhm.”

You turned to leave, but he stepped with you, standing, swaying, in front of you.

“I made…an exception tonight though.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes, would you…like to know why for?”

A deep sigh, eyes rolling ever so slightly.

“I suppose so.”

Eddie leaned in, lips almost touching your cheek and your ear as he fell into you, out of balance.

“Because…makes you brave…bolder!”

He shouted the last word, causing your face to screw up.

“What would you need to be bolder for?”

“This!”

He grabbed the sides of your head, his lips on yours in a sloppy, messy kiss. You could taste the beer, his tongue pressing into your mouth, lapping at yours, a moan breathed into you before you could push him off.

“Eddie!”

On his face he wore a look of confusion, upset, a sadness you were familiar with having seen him beaten down more times that he would like you to recount.

“Oh what? Am I…not good enough for you?”

You walked away from him, hand up to prevent further discussion, and luckily he didn’t follow. Instead, he slumped to the nearest chair, head in his hands, cursing himself that he’d wasted what he imagined might be his only chance. Sober again, he’d be too afraid, too nervous about risking your tolerance of him to even suggest that he liked you, let alone confess his love.

[silverdecepticon93]

How about the riddler dating queen bee’s younger sister? (Headcanons)

He legit thought you were trying to prank him at first when you asked him to date you.

Like... you are literally a princess and he’s like this underappreciated genius. You could have anyone you wanted, anyone in the world, so I guess you can’t blame him for being slightly skeptical of your intentions.

Now, he did like you a lot. You were beautiful, commanding, and even without your powers, you were certainly charming and persuasive when you wanted to be.

But he just didn’t want to get his hopes up too high in case you were just trying to mess with him, which you weren’t, but he eventually realized that you were serious after a week of trying to convince and plead with him  that you did genuinely like him.

He’s confused but also overjoyed.

Like, there are times where he’ll randomly look at you and be like, “Oh wow, that’s my girlfriend.”

No one believes him, of course, at least, not until you’re like, “EDDIE!❤️” and then just kiss him.

Queen Bee honestly finds the relationship adorable and teases you about it sometimes.

“So, how’s your nerdy little boyfriend doing?”

“Mari!”

Your sister doesn’t really feel the need to give him a ‘sister talk’ but it’s clear that if he ever broke your heart, that your sister isn’t going to mind too terribly getting back at him.

As shown by how she’s constantly talking about how she can hire the best assassins that’ll leave zero trace or messes of a murder while looking directly at Edward.

Do you like to fluster him? Of course you do.

You don’t even need pheromones to turn this man into a mess, just send him one seductive look and he’s putty in your hands.

Does he get jealous when you try to seduce someone?

Yes, yes he does.

“Why can’t your sister do it?!”

“She has to take care of things in Bialya. Don’t worry, Eddie, this’ll be fairly quick.”

“I don’t care if it’s quick, just...don’t take it too far...”

“I make no promises~”

“(Y/N)!”

In all seriousness, you are loyal to Edward and only Edward and he’s just as loyal to you.

Also, a majority of people don’t believe that he’s dating you.

Like, he’s getting picked on in Belle Reve because he’s ‘lying’ about dating you until you show up one day being all, “Guess who bailed you out, darling!”

He’s the smuggest motherfucker to have ever existed as he walks out of Belle Reve while linking arms with yours.

Young Justice Riddler x Reader - Hot and Bothered

Edward was at the end of his rope. 

As much as he wanted to put all the blame on you, he knew, logically, he couldn’t because you didn’t have the slightest clue as to what you do to him. 

When you call his name, his brain melts. When you touch him, his whole face flares red. When you smiled at him, his heart skipped a beat. 

It made the genius overheat in way he didn’t think was possible. It could be as cold as a meat locker in a room but when he thought of you he’d have to discard his signature jacket. 

One evening, he felt like he was about to combust. You smiled sweetly at him, wrapped your arms around him in a hug and actually kissed his cheek. 

Edward couldn’t bare it anymore. 

He couldn’t help it, he had to relieve himself of this suffocating heat–he will have plenty of time afterwards to feel ashamed about it later. 

As he removed his pants and underwear, his dick was finally free from it’s constricting confines. He’d never seen his cock so hard before, the tip a flaring sensitive red. 

Edward began stroking himself from the base to the tip. He hissed whenever he tightened his grip around the head. 

It didn’t take long for him to build a steady pace. His hand tightening and his strokes fastening. 

Finally, he got that sweet friction that he craved and could relieve him. 

Edward let out a few high pitched groans and even began whimpering your name as he imagined your soft hands stroking him instead. The vision of those soft lips kissing his tip and sucking his cock just about brought him to the edge. 

“Ed? Is everything ok-Oh, shit!” You gasped as you quickly closed the door as soon as you opened it. 

“I-I’m so sorry, Ed–I just–” 

“I’m-I’m…I-” he stuttered. Ed struggled to speak and get the covers of his bed to cover himself. 

“No, no…uh–I-I’m…uh…sorry…so, so sorry…”

“Don’t be…I knocked, you didn’t answer, but I heard my name so…” You explained. 

The red color that flushed Ed’s face soon drained. 

“I-yeah…um…I-I’m sorry.” He said, hanging his head in defeat.

“Eddie, it’s okay…I-I don’t mind.” 

Ed’s head shot up in surprise. “Wha-Really?!”

You giggled at the voice crack. “Yeah, really.”

“I just…” he sighed, as he scratched the back of his neck. “Every time I think about you, I-I get…so hot and I think about you…a lot.” He chuckled nervously. 

You opened the door a little to where your head poked in. 

“Well, that makes two of us. I think about you a lot too Eddie…” You smiled at him as you deftly entered his room and locked the door behind you. 

“Do you wanna get hot and bothered together?” You offered with a sweet but mischievous smile. 

Ed gulped deeply but nodded enthusiastically.

As they are talking about jobs, how life has changed since they last saw each other and so on.

Young Justice Riddler x Reader - A Date with the Hiccups

“There you are Eddie!” You quickly got up from your seat to greet your crus-friend. Your friend, Eddie.

Edward had reached out, surprisingly, in a text that he would like to catch up since he was out on parole. 

As much as you wanted to scold him for winding up in Belle Reve in the first place, but for now you can rejoice in seeing him. 

Edward almost passed out from the abrupt and overwhelming contact of your warm embrace. Your arms around his neck, your head nestled beside his. 

If death were to strike him he’d die a happy man. Although his heart kickstarted from hypothetical death when he panicked with what to do with his arms. Thankfully, you didn’t mind it when he settled for wrapping them up and around your back. 

“Uh…h-hey yourself!” Edward replied, hoping he didn’t sound as awkward as he felt. 

“It’s been awhile, huh?” I’m so glad you asked to meet up.” You slowly pulled yourself away and went back to your seat. You gestured for Ed to follow. 

“You know, you’re quite difficult to get a hold of.” You joked.

“Oh, uh…yeah…I know..I-I’m sorry…I-”

“Eddie…it’s okay! I was just messing with you…I understand why, but it does mean a lot that you reached out to me.” You said meaningfully with a sweet smile.

Whatever courage he felt that day to send that message. Edward hoped he could find it again to last through this dat-meeting…hang-out…visit.

“W-Well, I’m glad you agreed to come…I-I wasn’t sure you would.” He chuckled nervously.

“Of course, I would! And I did! Here-” You handed him a menu. “Now to enjoy ourselves!” 

Edward lifted up the tri-fold pamplet and sighed heavily behind it in relief. Then he allowed a goofy gap-toothed smile slip under the cover of the menu. 

After your food and drinks were ordered and arrived, Ed’s nerves had diminished some. 

Just some though, your cute smile and infectious laughs still catch him off guard. Especially when he realized that he’s the cause of them. 

In an attempt to not embarass himself, Edward took generous amounts of sips from his drink. 

“Anyways, enough about me…sorry, I didn’t mean to ramble Eddie. Have you been up to anything lately?” 

“Oh…uh…well…” he snatched his glass again and took more gulps. Noticing his drink is empty for the second time he chuckled nervously. 

All out of diversions. 

“Well, there is this new idea I want -hic-” Edward blinked in shock. He clamped his mouth shut for a moment and then tried to speak again. 

“I want to develop this-hic-” He brought his hand up to his mouth. 

“Uh…I’m…sor-hic-”

While Eddie was struggling with the hiccups. You were doing your best to not laugh out loud. 

“It’s okay…maybe you shouldn’t drink your beverage so fast…” You reached out to pat the back of his hand reasuringly.

Ed gasped at the contact which only caused him to hiccup right after. 

“Yeah…you-hic-have a point-hic-”

You couldn’t help but let a couple of chuckles out. He was just too damn cute for his own good. 

“Gosh-hic- I’m sorry-hic-...this is embarrassing-hic-”

Somehow through your giggles, you managed to get a few more words out. 

“It’s okay, Ed-hic-”

Your eyes widened. 

A beat of silence came over your table. Neither one of you is willing to talk first and endure more hiccups. 

You decide to take the hit. “Well,-hic-this is-hic-awkward.” 

Soon the two of you became a mess of chuckles and hiccups as you both tried to solve the conundrum that is your hiccups.

[riddle-me-ri]

For the event;

YJ breakfast in bed.

A/N: Aww, omg omg, yess perfect! He deserves to have breakfast in bed like the good wee green bean he is.

Word Count: 578

Young Justice Riddler - Breakfast in Bed

It was extremely rare for you to be awake before Eddie was. He was usually already up and dressed, trying to get you to roll out of bed.

You had a feeling that your growling stomach was to blame. The two of you got home late from a mission and barely ate a couple of subpar sandwiches from a gas station that was still open at 3 am. 

You rolled over to see Eddie asleep. Thanks to the gap in his teeth, a tiny little whistle came out with every exhale causing you to giggle.

Clearly, there was no way you were going to be able to go back to sleep. Then an idea came to mind.

You crawled out from underneath the comforter and you tip toed out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. 

As you began scrambling some eggs, cooking bacon, and getting some bread to make toast. You couldn’t help but wonder when was the last time you and Eddie had a proper breakfast. 

It seemed like you two were constantly on the move. No time to stop and enjoy quality time with each other. 

Maybe you guys can think of a way to make time for one another. Starting by eating breakfast with him in bed.

Once the food was done, you prepped both of the plates and took them back to the bedroom. 

You slowly opened the door to ensure you didn’t wake him up just yet.

Edward’s nose slightly twitched in his sleep. The sweet rich aroma of eggs and bacon slowly waking him up. 

“Is…is that bacon?” Ed slowly opened his eyes and followed the smell to the plate next to him. 

“Good morning, Eddie. I made us some breakfast.” You gave him a moment to sit up before giving him his plate. 

“Oh, uhh…wow. You,  you did all of this?” He asked still half asleep, but still genuinely surprised. 

“Yep, I woke up to my stomach screaming in starvation. And I figured we hadn’t had an actual decent breakfast together in awhile.” 

You watched as Ed took a bite. You giggled at how his face instantly lit up and he began eating more. 

You giggled some more, “and besides. I was awake before you for once and figured I could surprise you.” 

Edward gulped down the bite he just took before responding. “Ah, yeah…you, you did surprise me. I-It’s delicious too by the way, thanks…no one’s ever done something like this for me before.” 

Your heart swelled at the mention he hasn’t been dealt the best hand in terms of relationships. However, he had you now and you were willing and able to change that. 

“Oh geez!” You exclaimed when you realized you forgot something. 

“What is it?” Ed asked, almost dropping his fork. 

“I totally forgot to get us something to drink. What would you like?” You laughed as you began making your way back to the kitchen. 

Once you came back with the drinks, you got back into bed and began eating your plate. 

For once, everything was peaceful. You two talked about things other than strategy and objectives. You got to breathe and not worry about a sudden threat in any given moment. 

When you were done with your food, there was a small debate whether to go back to sleep or not. 

Needless to say, you won the debate. 

You got to go back to sleep snuggling your adorable boyfriend now on a full stomach.

[riddle-me-ri]

If you're taking requests is like to requests the riddlers with jealousy scenarios! Thank you

A/N: as much as I don’t like ACTUAL jealousy and try to refrain from jealous tendencies I find in myself…jealousy scenarios are kinda fun to write for rip…is that bad? I feel like that’s bad lmao. Sorry that if some if not most of these tend to repeat the same scenarios (co-worker, waiter, colleague, they’re just such good set-ups asdfgh)

Jealousy Scenarios with The Riddlers:

Arkhamverse Riddler:

Edward was absolutely furious. Why would you ever even begin to comprehend such a thing? Surely, you had to be smarter than this. You knew better than this? From all your time privileged in his presence…

“You would rather be a trembling brain-dead guinea pig than being a productive and useful assistant in a very intellectually stimulating environment mind you!”

“Ed. I just said Jonathan stopped by asking for you…”

“But you let him into my work space!” 

“Upstairs is the living area, not your work space here in the basement or your tracks in the sewers. And his leg was giving him issues, so I let him rest.” 

“Oh please! Our dear, ex-professor has many issues, but that leg isn’t one of them. He moves better with it than when he was in perfect health!” 

“If you’re jealous of another man being alone with me can just say that you’re not comfortable.” 

Edward groaned in frustration. “I’m not jealous of that walking tarp of burlap!” 

You shrugged, but patted Ed’s shoulder and kissed his cheek. “Sure, sweetie.”

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler:

“Wow, he is something, isn’t he?” You remarked at the TV. 

As much as he admired the vigilante another part of him couldn’t stand him.

Ed really should have seen this coming. How could you not be absolutely smitten? He was everything he wish he had an iota of. 

Batman is intelligent, strong, fast, and assertive…

Meanwhile, Edward Nashton is just dull, awkward, quiet, and weird…what the hell did you see in him anyway? 

“Eddie? Everything okay?” 

Your sweet voice knocked him out of his reverie. He was back on the couch with you, watching the news of the Batman’s latest escapades. 

“Oh…uh…y-yeah I’m fine..” 

You quirked your eyebrow, not sure if you were going to accept that answer. 

“He is incredible…” Ed commented as he turned his attention back to the screen of Batman narrowly escaping a gang of thugs in a high speed chase on the highway.

Oh, that’s what it was. For all the admiration one can have for another, there’s still that habit of comparison mentor to mentee. 

“Yeah, he’s all right. But I bet he’s an absolute stick in the mud and not nearly as intelligent as a certain handsome fellow I know.” You scooted closer to Edward on the couch and even sold the comment with an actual nudge into his side. 

Edward noticed you got closer and was confused when you nudged him. Then he took in what you said. He lifted his head up a little with a soft smile on his face. 

“You…you prefer me to Batman?” “I prefer you over everyone and anyone else, Eddie. If I had a choice, it will always be you.”

Gotham Riddler:

The GCPD was full of eligible bachelors. Mostly guys just looking for a good time or friends with benefits. 

You were too good for them, all of them really. Even too good for Edward. Yet he was able to woo you somehow. Despite the two of you being in a very obvious relationship, with approval from Gordon, Lee, even Bullock…it didn’t stop some officers from trying to disrupt what you two had. 

Edward was coming up to your office to take you out to lunch. However, he was surprised to see an overwhelming sight. 

Flowers, cards, letters were strewn all over your desk and overflowing to your floor. 

You looked up at him. Your eyes wide and your skin pale, like you had seen a ghost. 

“E-Eddie…I…I wish I could explain but...I have no idea…w-who these are from? Or w-w-what’s going on?” You looked around looking for any sort of indicator of who sent the gifts. 

Edward’s fists clenched, a snarl growing on his face. He stood there still as a rock, trying to keep his innate reaction to just run amok in the GCPD to find the culprit in tact. 

You noticed Ed was quiet for a long time. You noticed his tense expression and his thousand yard stare into the floor. 

“Y-You…you don’t…like them..do you?” Ed regretted asking it as soon as he grumbled it out through barred teeth. 

You sighed, sympathetically. Walking around the baskets and bouquets and made your way to him. 

“I would have adored them if they were from you, but they’re not. So as far as I’m concerned, these flowers can be re-sent to someone else or tossed. And the cards can go straight into the disposal…you don’t need to be jealous, sweetheart.” You gave him a reassuring kiss on the cheek. 

You smiled as you saw the tension all throughout his body slowly melt away from the kiss. 

Then, as if a lightbulb went off, Edward’s eyes widened in revelation. 

“W-Wait, before you throw anything away!” Edward went to your desk and gathered some of the cards and the bouquet. “While I still have my gloves on anyway…”

“What’re you doing?” 

“...gonna search for prints…” he mumbled quickly, so when you made out what he said he was already too far gone to catch back up with him.

BTAS Riddler:

Something was off with Eddie tonight. However, you couldn’t quite put your finger on it. 

“Eddie…you’ve been awfully quiet tonight…you know how much I love hearing your voice.” Which wasn’t an exaggeration either, and you did miss speaking to him. 

You saw him slightly shuffle his weight on the opposite end of the couch. 

“I’m fine…” 

“Eddie…I know when you’re not fine, sweetie. Please talk to me…” You fluttered your eyelashes at him, and poked out your bottom lip for good measure. 

Edward groaned in defeat. “I hate it when you do that…it’s too effective.”

“That’s why I do it.” You grinned. 

“I just can’t understand how oblivious you are, darling…you clearly couldn’t tell he was…was…”

“He who? Jervis?” 

Edward growled. “Yes…Jervis…”

“Eddie, he was just being polite!” 

“He didn’t have to kiss your hand.” He grumbled, crossing his arms defensively. 

“Aww, Eddie,” you scooted closer to his side of the couch. You wrapped your arms around him and snuggled into his side. 

“You don’t ever had to be jealous, darling. I will always love and adore you, no matter what…you know that.” You looked up at him, smiling reassuringly at him. 

He stole a glance into your eyes, and sighed. Edward knew it was ridiculous, but he couldn’t help it. He wrapped an arm around you and began rubbing your back. 

“I-I know…still doesn’t mean I have to like it though…” 

You snickered into his side as he chuckled along with you.

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler:

“You don’t need to be jealous, Eddie…”

Edward scoffed. “Jealous? Please, I’m not jealous of anyone.”

“So you just threatened my date with a bomb sent to his work place…for funsies?” 

Ed shrugged. “It’s been dull here, lately…and I haven’t been a public menace in a minute.” 

You rolled your eyes. “Well, I’m not stopping you, so stop keeping me from having a dating life!” 

“You don’t need to date anybody…” He grumbled under his breath. 

“Ed, you’re the one that said we weren’t-”

“I’m not going back on my word…I just…” He shrugged. 

“You just want me to focus on you, you needy bastard…”

He put his hand up with his index finger pointed out. “Ah, ah, that’s Mr. Needy Bastard to you…”

“Uh huh, sure…needy jealous bastard…” You smirked as you walked off. 

“I. Am. Not. Jealous! I’m the Riddler! I’m not jealous of anyone! If anything they’re all envious of me.”

“Did you choose to wear green cause you’re just knee deep in envy?” 

“I’m redirecting the bomb. It’s now going to your workplace.”

Twojar Riddler:

“Edward! Ed! Slow down!” You were running to catch up with him as he dragged you by the wrist back to the car parked along the sidewalk. 

He let out a frustrated sigh and let go of your wrist. Edward continued his steady pace as he rounded the car to go to the driver’s seat. You still stood there; confused and somewhat shaken from the sudden action. 

“Can you please get in the car?”

You walked up to the open window and leaned your head in. “Not until you explain what the hell is going on?” 

Ed grumbled. “I just want to go back home–”

“Was it that waiter?” Earlier in the evening a waiter made a couple passes at you while Edward was in the restroom and he walked in on the waiter trying to get your number.

Silence. Edward crossed his arms and sunk in the driver’s seat. 

“Oh my God, Ed…”

Edward rolled his eyes. “Will you, please just get in the car?”

Gotham City Sirens Riddler:

“Oh, hey there, Mr. Nygma. This is Mr. Sale, he called earlier about–” 

Edward barely heard what you said, his brain was too busy taking in the sights of the scene before him. You were sitting, slightly propped up on the edge of your desk. While the presumed, “Mr. Sale” was standing before you mere inches away. Your cheeks were flushed red possibly from laughing and whatever words were just transpired. 

Mr. Sale backed away and walked over to end, holding out his hand for a handshake. “Mr. Nygma! Such a pleasure to meet you!”

It took everything in Edward not to grimace outwardly. He could read this man like an open book. Rental three piece suit. Over-priced cologne. A faint oval outline where the skin was paler around his left ring finger. 

Armed with this, Edward knew his next plan of action. “Ah, well…I wish I could say the same for you, Mr. Sale. But I’m afraid I’m far too busy for your case.” 

Flabbergasted, Sale was gaping his mouth like a fish out of water. “B-B-But, you, you haven’t even heard my case! You can’t just–”

“Oh, but I can…privileges of owning a private firm. And I’m not about to waste my or my assistant’s time…running in circles…because you want to frame your wife of cheating to cover up your own infidelity.” 

“Oh, I can assure you, I’m not wasting your assistant’s time.” Sale stole a glance at you and winked. 

“I’m going to have to ask you to leave, Mr. Sale. Have a good day or not, I don’t care.” 

Sale was about to say something in defense, but growled in frustration instead and took off. He left the office with the slam of the door. 

You came up behind Ed and embraced him from behind. “You’re sexy when you’re jealous.” 

“Oh, please…I wasn’t jealous.”

You squeezed him a little tighter, giggling softly. “Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

Telltale Riddler:

“What are you staring at?” Ed asked. 

“Huh?” You were knocked out of your reverie with his question. You were looking out the window of your shared apartment. 

“You’ve been daydreaming out of that window for almost half an hour.” 

“Oh, uh, just people watching.” 

Edward looked up from his desk to you. He let out a frustrated sigh when he said, “hm, you could be more productive by assisting me…”

You turned to look at the man; annoyed and confused. “You just told me not to bother you, Ed.” 

“Annoying me and assisting me are two different things. Or you can go and people watch outside…and see what all the troubled idiotic youth is up to.”

Oh…poor Edward. No matter how many times he tried to shield it or ignore it. His age…the age gap between you two was something he was always weary of. 

You shook your head, scoffing in disappointment. You got up from your seat and walked over to his desk. 

“Nah, I’d rather not lose the brain cells, so whatcha working on Eddie?” 

Edward was surprised to see you come to his desk. He was almost certain you were going to walk out the door. 

“Well…for starters…ugh…could you please not sit on the desk! There’s a spare chair over in the corner!” 

You chuckled softly. “Yes sir, on it!”

Young Justice Riddler:

Who was he kidding, he didn’t stand a chance with you to begin with…

No matter how many times you genuinely checked in on him, kept him company, and included him where you could. All those open opportunities that were the building blocks to Eddie’s confidence in a relationship with you was completely knocked down before the foundation could even settle in. Thanks to this new Light recruit you were training. 

“Hey, Eddie!” You called out to him. You ran down the corridor to catch up to him.

“Why such a long face? I’m sorry I haven’t talked to you lately, things have been crazy!” You chuckled nervously. 

“Oh, uh…no worries. I-I get it..” 

“Hey, let me make it up to you! There’s this new place downtown that just opened. Wanna hang out and grab a bite there?” You offered. 

You did feel bad about leaving Eddie in the dark. Despite the increase in the Light’s numbers, training the newbies was taking up a lot of whatever free time you had. You missed talking to Edward, you could actually be yourself around him and not have a care in the world. Plus he was too damn cute for words. 

“Uuhh…umm but what about that newbie? D-Don’t you have plans with them?” Edward asked before he really had a chance to stop himself. 

You grabbed his shoulder to stop him from walking as you turned him around to face you. “Eddie...what’re you talking about?” 

“I-I-I didn’t mean to assume something…I-I-I just noticed that you-you were spe-spending a l-lot of time with th-them and the-they seem to like you..a lot..” 

You put your fingertips up to his lips to seize his nervous panicked rambling. 

“Eddie…” You sighed. “I’m just training them. Yeah, they flirt, but I rebuke them. There’s nothing going on outside of training.” 

“Really?” He mumbled behind your fingers. 

You chuckled. “Yes, really. Besides, I’m interested in someone else. I have been for awhile actually.” You slowly removed your fingers from his lips. 

“W-Wait, really? Uh...who?”

Your eyes widened when you realized he really didn’t get it. Bless him, this absolute dork. 

“It’s you, Eddie.” You stated, figuring bluntness was the way to go as you sealed the confession by taking your hand in his.

You felt his hand slightly tighten around yours. “Wa-really?” He almost squealed. 

You did everything you could to not bust out laughing. You shook you head, trying to shake the giggles. “Yes, you. Now, about our first date…”

Hush (DCAU) Riddler:

Needless to say, Edward was jealous of everyone. He would never admit it, but he was. Secretly, seething, he despised most everyone. Especially those that had things he didn’t. Strength, power, influence, perfect health. Perfect health…

“Hey, Eddie!” You came through the door, dropping your belongings and stepping out of your work shoes. 

He didn’t deserve you he really didn’t. He wouldn’t blame you if you dropped him and left him for your co-worker at work that obviously has the hots for you. Of course you were too kind and rather oblivious to see that, but he adored you for that all the same. 

“Hey sweetie,” he greeted back half-heartedly. “How was your day?” 

“Oh, same old same old. Although, something weird happened, you know that co-worker I told you about? Scott? The one that’s been super friendly?” 

Through gritted teeth, Edward nodded. “Y-Yeah, I do…what about him?” 

“He asked me out to dinner tonight, it was so random…I thought he was just being friendly…to be friends.” You shrugged as you plopped beside Edward on the couch. 

Edward could feel his fist slightly clench in frustration. 

“Y-You said no…though right?” 

“Edward!” You practically squealed in disbelief. “Of course I told him no! I have you! I’d never do such a thing.”

“I-I know…I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, that wasn’t right of me to ask…” He sighed in defeat. “I…I haven’t been in the best mindset as of late.”

You nodded. “It’s okay, when you’re ready we can talk about it. But for all the questions and riddles in this world, don’t you dare question my feelings for you…okay?” 

You leaned your head on his shoulder and wrapped your arm around his waist and embraced him in a side hug. 

“Okay, sweetie. I won’t, I promise.”

[riddle-me-ri]

A/N: Whelp, the results are in, and the vast majority of you guys voted to how the Rogues will react to a reader refusing to reciprocate their affections. When I tell you it was hard to narrow down the title to fit the header image lmao but I hope it still makes sense! Starting up first with the Riddlers...duh and the rest will follow shortly I promise! Hope you guys enjoy! And thanks so much for voting again!

Reader Ignores The Riddlers' Affections

Arkhamverse Riddler: 

Listen, I don’t think it’s even worth it to see his reaction. 

He’s not that big on affection as it is. 

Now that you finally somehow warmed him up to the idea…

You’re gonna tease him? 

Really?

You know this isn’t…normal for him

Why give him a hard time??

FINE, be that way…it’s not like he enjoys your hugs or kisses anyway…absolutely stupid.

(not really, please don’t ignore him)

There’s no point in mentioning that miniscule sigh of relief he lets out when you kiss his cheek. 

He will never admit to it.

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler: 

He’s going to immediately think he’s done something wrong. 

Did…did he do something wrong?

Oh, gosh…did he forget a birthday? Anniversary? Holiday?? No..he couldn’t have..

You’re always so forthcoming with your hugs and kisses.

At the very least, you always reciprocated. That’s how Edward knew he was…doing it right.

Like many Riddlers on this list, this is new to him. 

Please don’t tease him too harshly

Man’s will get mad confused and flustered. 

You have to be as quick to apologize and comfort him. 

Kiss him until your lips are numb and your arms are falling asleep.

And please don’t do it again

Gotham Riddler: 

Are you upset? Has your mind drifted to something else? 

He puts his hand on your shoulder or taps you lightly. 

Okay, you acknowledged him, he gives you his signature tight lipped smile.

He leans in and gives you a peck on the cheek

After a pause he taps his own cheek.

You’re supposed to return it…don’t shrug and walk away!

This leads Ed to anxiously ramble about every decision he made that day, apolgizing for each one, cause clearly you’re mad. 

The only way to get him to shut up is to kiss him. 

Tell him he’s fine, you were only messing with him. 

He’s relieved but, please, don’t do that again. 

BTAS Riddler: 

Ed loves to give you adoring kisses on the cheek and sweet hugs. 

It’s quite routine, whenever he first sees you, either in the morning or in a new room he does it. 

You always return the gesture. 

So he’s taken aback when you blatantly ignore him. 

At first he wants to think you were distracted about something, or something is wrong.

When you remain steadfast, he becomes flustered. 

However, the minute you see his face fall, you can’t keep it up. 

You hug him and kiss him back, surprising him.

You apologies giggly, saying you only meant to tease him a tad.

You both agree you took it a bit too far. 

You promise not to do it again…for now with a kiss. 

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler: 

Ugh fine, whatever. 

Don’t come crying to him when he leaves. 

You should’ve taken his affections when you had the chance. 

He doesn’t have to stick around, kiss your cheek or hand, wrap his arm around you.

Nope, he just did it cause he knew you liked it. 

(also knew it’d give him brownie points to your pants later)

Although that’s likely the reason you stopped returning his gestures in the first place. 

Is it so hard to actually be romantic without expecting something? 

Likely the only Riddler where you hold out from returning ANY affection for the longest. 

It takes awhile, but Ed eventually becomes to frustrated and pent up. 

The moment he admits you may have a point or better yet, he may be so torn up to apologize. 

You return the praises, kisses, and caresses. 

You will never forget the absolute sparkle in his green eyes. 

Twojar Riddler: 

Edward is taken aback.

He too tries to think if he’s done something to piss you off. 

Yet, when you don’t give him a straight answer, he’s likely to pick up on the fact you’re just teasing. 

Well, two can play at that game. 

What once started as a means to get him to grovel to his knees towards you…

Winds up being an almost two week long challenge to see who yearned more for the other. 

Who wins is totally up for debate. 

Regardless whoever wins or loses…you both get yours in the end. 

Gotham City Sirens Riddler: 

Ed cringes, but sighs in exhausted defeat. 

He’s already assumed your cross with him because he has been neglectful. 

Things have been crazy busy at the office, case after case…

And you both know he can’t afford to say no to too many of them. 

When you turn your head from his lips and don’t get off the couch to hug him. 

He already knows your hurt, and already sets the wheels in motion to make things right. 

Eddie almost breaks your heart when he outright apologizes if he’s been neglectful of you. 

You instantly go to him, wrap your arms around him and shake your head. 

Insisting that it wasn’t him, you were just teasing, he hadn’t done anything wrong. 

Now you’re the one apologizing, not realizing how good of a front you put up. 

All is forgiven in the end, with a sweet long kiss.

Telltale Riddler: 

Probably, no most definitely, the one least bothered about it. 

He finds it annoying more than anything. 

You constantly nag him about showing a lack of affection.

So now that he shows it, you're going to ignore him?

Fine, suit yourself.

But don't come bothering him later about him not trying.

It doesn't take long for you to realize you may have messed up. 

You instantly apologize, saying you were just teasing.

Even asking how it feels to be ignored…

(which he has been guilty of doing to you when you kiss or embrace him)

Edward rolls his eyes and just sighs. 

You guys still have a ways to go, but there has been some progress.

Young Justice Riddler: 

Another riddle lad that thinks he's messed up somehow. 

When you turn your head to the side to dodge a kiss.

Eddie's hurt almost instantly.

He's also immediately thrown into panic mode. 

Oh my god, please comfort him

He’s about to cry

You hug him and kiss him. 

You didn’t mean anything by it, just wanting to tease him. 

Please, please don’t tease his wee heart like that. 

Eddie can only take so much. 

Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 

Edward instantly assumes you're mad at him for something. 

If anyone is aware of his shortcomings it's him. 

He wouldn't be surprised if he messed up somewhere. 

But when it comes to you, it's harder to sweep under the rug

Ed asks if something is wrong, usually, you return his kisses with your own. 

It's extremely discouraging, especially from someone…the only one who has encouraged him in anything. 

After dodging a couple more pecks and embraces…you can't keep the act up anymore. 

You just can't handle that saddened look on his face. 

You spend most of the evening reassuring him, insisting you were just teasing. 

You promise not to ever turn down his affections again.

[riddle-me-ri]

Since requests are open I would like to request the various riddlers doing snow angels and having a snowball fight with their S/O.

A/N: aww this is super cute! Sorry if some of the headcanons get a wee repetitive. I-I was running out of steam hehe…sorry plus I’m slowly but surely coming back to writing after a wee break…but here ya go!

Snow Angels and Snowball Fights w/ The Riddlers:

Arkhamverse Riddler: 

- First of all, first of all…congrats on getting him outside. 

- Please make sure he’s wearing enough layers. 

- Yes, he’s gonna complain but for as hot blooded and hot headed as he gets, he’s useless against the cold. 

- However, good luck trying to get him to participate in other winter activities. 

- He may roll his eyes as you plop in the snow and wave your limbs like a child. 

- But don’t be surprised if a snowball fight occurs.

- Ed’s already got several riddlerbots on deck that can form snowballs at rapid speed. 

- A fight is a challenge, a challenge to win, and Edward Nygma doesn’t lose (unless it’s Batman…just don’t say that)

- Bonus: once y’all get back inside, be ready with a couple cups of hot chocolate. 

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler: 

- Winters at the orphanage left many children ill, and at the very worst dead. 

- It will take some time for you to open him up that the season can actually be fun. 

- He’ll be confused at first when you fall back into the snow, he frantically tries to catch you from the fall. 

- However when he notices you giggling and making a snow angel, it makes him laugh. 

- When he decides to join you in the snow, he finds himself being extremely giddy. 

- Later you were able to talk him into a snowball fight. At first he’s unsure cause he doesn’t want to hurt you

- One swift snowball to the shoulder from you, has him thinking otherwise.

- You’re not sure who won or lost when you’re both laughing breathlessly on the ground. 

- Edward knows one thing for sure, he’s grateful for you and he enjoys being able to actually feel like a kid. 

Gotham Riddler: 

- Um…what?

- Why…why did you fall to the snow? You’re going to get snow on your clothes?!

- Feel free to jump back up and just push him into the snow. 

- He’ll be frustrated that snow is on him, but he won’t be for long. 

- You do look rather cute when you’re proud of yourself. 

- However, be on your guard. 

- While he’s on the ground he’s slowly grabbing some snow to shape into a small snowball. 

- He leans up, you think he’s getting up, but he’s actually tossing a snowball into your gut and taking off. 

- It’s game on! Good luck!

BTAS Riddler: 

- Edward enjoys participating in activities you take pleasure in. 

- At least most of them, and if he’s not sure, he’s willing to try them once for you. 

- When you call out his name and slowly begin falling backwards

- He's quick to try and catch you but finds himself on top of you. 

- Eddie's shaking his head, but chuckling when he realizes you were just making snow angels. 

- He's quick to plop beside you and make one of his own.

- While his guard is down, this is the perfect chance to make an attack.

- However unbeknownst to you, Eddie was thinking the same. 

- You both end up putting snow in each other's faces.

- Better get up and reload quick and gather your defenses! 

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler: 

- Good luck trying to get this sensitive pansy ass out in the cold. 

- I don’t know why, but I can see this Eddie despising winter. 

- So it's going to be a lot just to get him outside. 

- You'll probably have to drag him outside. 

- Once he's outside, you can trip him to faceplant in the snow

- However, Eddie will probably respond better by proposing a snowball fight. 

- It's a way to stay active and warm against the plummeting weather. 

- Although that'll make him propose an alternative activity instead.

- Beat his ass with a cold, cold, snowy shower.

Twojar Riddler: 

- Same for this Riddler asdfgh when it comes to the cold.

- But he’s less of an asshole about it and will indulge you. 

- He will be amused seeing you enjoying yourself. 

- Making tiny snow people, making snow angels. 

- You are very adorable.

- While he's distracted, this is a perfect chance to surprise him with a sneak attack!

- He's surprised when he's wiping away snowy debris from his face. 

- Don't be surprised if a snowball twice the size of your head knocks you down. 

- Much like other Riddlers he plays for keeps

Gotham City Sirens Riddler: 

- He’s a tad reluctant to leave his cozy home/office to the freezing cold. 

- You may have to trick him or tell him it’ll only be for a little bit. 

- Ed rolls his eyes affectionately when he sees you on the ground already making snow angels. 

- You invite him to join, he refuses his head, something about enjoying watching you.

- Feel free to yank him down by his scarf, he’ll have no choice then. 

- Ed will also seem indifferent to a snowball battle.

- However, he’s actually looking for an opening.

- There’s this weird unspoken tension of who is going to throw the first snowball before you two get back home. 

- Whether it’s you or him, the battle goes on for awhile. The both of you too stubborn to lose to the other. 

- But you both go home feeling satisfied with an entertaining date out in the snow. 

Young Justice Riddler: 

- This poor boy wouldn’t mind the cold…

- If he just had the tiniest bit of muscle mass to retain his own body heat.

- So before you take him outside, please, PLEASE make sure he’s wearing plenty of layers. 

- He may fight you on it, but yes the two scarves, beanie and gloves are A MUST. 

- However, he's all here to get to spend quality time with you in the snow. 

- You giggle at your drastic different snow angels. 

- You can’t help but feel bad, when you throw a particular snowball that knocks him off his feet and faceplant into the snow. 

- It’s all fun and games, don’t worry, but just be sure to take care of him when you get back home. 

- How you take care of him, I’ll leave that up to y’all lmao (and by y’all I’m mostly looking at abby rip)

Telltale Riddler:

- You absolute fucking child. 

- He has no time for this childishness. 

- This Edward is particularly older. 

- While he’s in decent shape…the same can’t be said for his body temperature. 

- Playing in the snow doesn’t sound all the decent. 

- So the minute he steps foot outside to get something–

- You gotta nail him with a snowball. 

- He may be pissed, but he’s still petty enough to try and throw one back. 

- Congratulations, you’ve gotten him into a snowball fight!

-(spoiler alert; despite his age, you’ll probably lose because he wants to go back inside before he freezes)

Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 

- For no particular reason (other than to possibly change it up a little lol) I think this Ed enjoys the winter time. 

- He especially enjoys it, because he has you to spend the fun weather with. 

- Eddie enjoys being able to just be himself with you.

- Laughing, smiling, and having fun. 

- Making snow people, snow angels, catching snowflakes. 

- It's only traditional for you two to have a classic snowball fight. 

- The loser has to make hot chocolate for the winner!

- Although, it's hard to determine a winner when you both end up tackling each other in the snow.

- This Edward is on borrowed time, so to speak, so any chances to get to spend time with you is the greatest gift he could ever get for this season.

How our Riddleboys react to their asses getting slapped? Not like in a sex way. Just reader casually walks past and gives them a good ol’ smack on the ass to flirt in a silly way.

A/N: hehe…hehehe…sorry this request gave me the giggles for the longest time lmao. If this isn’t some shit I’d do hehe

How The Riddlers React to Having Their Asses Slapped

Arkhamverse Riddler: 

- Poor boy flinched at the contact.

- He can't tell if he's angry, annoyed, or confused..or turned on. He's a blushing mess you know that much. 

- Like why? Why did you do that?

- There's more efficient and proper ways to get his attention 

- You'll have to explain to him that you were just messing around, flirting even. 

- He'll blink a couple times. Trying to compute this information.

- He's not sure how to feel about it. But any action to show your attraction to him is appreciated. 

- Just…just it's gonna take a minute for him to get used to it. 

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler:

- So I have no doubt that they probably spanked kids in the orphanage as a sign of discipline. 

- So it's best to bear that in mind if you're gonna pull this on this Ed.

- Even if it's just a silly and flirty way, you'll have to let him know that's why you do it. 

- It's not a sign of discipline or he's being reprimanded. You're just being affectionate. 

- When you do, playfully slap his butt when he does the dishes. It takes him a second to register it properly. 

- He's a blushing mess but still unsure how he feels about it.

Gotham Riddler: 

- Oh, hello~~

- While surprised at first, he's absolutely pleased.

- He's quite the tease himself.

- So to see you try and tease him as well is amusing. 

- He'll tease you back for the rest of the day.

- Pinching your butt, squeezing your shoulders, pinching your love handles.

- He enjoys seeing your flustered reaction just as much as you enjoyed his surprised reaction when you slapped his ass.

- He'll be more than pleased for you to continue this line of teasing. 

- He's happy to see you being playful and open with him. 

BTAS Riddler: 

- Oh, oh…this..this is new.

- He's taken aback. He's surprised, his skin flushed warm and red.

- However, he can't help but feel amused.

- Two can play at that game. 

- After you think the moment is gone. Ed will come up behind you and plant sweet kisses along your neck and cheek.

- Just as you lean into it, smiling, and beaming at the affection. 

- He'll lower his hand and quickly smack your butt before booking it to another room.

- You're shocked but also ticked that he got you back.

- This means war (affectionately and teasingly) 

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler: 

- I'd be surprised if this candy ass didn't have his ass slightly poked out just so you can accidentally hit it. 

- Let alone try and invite you to actively slap his ass.

- But, but he is a pain in the ass, so any chance to replicate that pain is necessary (even if he finds it pleasurable)

- He fully relishes in the attention. 

- Expect him to come up to you later and hint at you to spank him again. 

- Also he'll absolutely give you the same treatment. 

- Albeit expect his slaps to be a little harder. 

- He'll also sneak in a pinch or two.

Twojar Riddler: 

- I'm still clearly divided whether or not this Riddler is an ass or tits man. There's evidence of mostly tits but I can see him appreciating a nice ass too.

- So showing your appreciation for his ass is an absolute delight. 

- He will be taken aback by your confidence at first.

- But once he realizes that it wasn't a figment of his imagination.

- It's game on. 

- Don't be surprised if occasionally ass slaps just become part of your normal exchange. 

- And don't be surprised if it leads to sexy times later.

- I don't doubt he's handsy with you and constantly has his hands on your waist and ass anyway. 

- It's all part of his possessive personality that I've pinned on him tehehe

Gotham City Sirens Riddler:

- Oh, well, that's a pleasant surprise. 

- Absolutely eats up the attention.

- He'll let out that warm, hearty, chuckle that makes you melt.

- Teasingly asks in fake shock, "Well, what was that for?"

- Expect him to absolutely return the favor.

- Whether it's his hand or the top of his cane, it's up to him and what you're doing.

- He's also open to pinching your bottom as well, especially when you least expect it.

- He's one of the Riddlers, that while knowing you were just flirting, he'll take the chance to make it into a sexual encounter. 

Telltale Riddler: 

- You're lucky if he even gives you a reaction. 

- He may roll his eyes or scoff at your attempts.

- If you catch him at a decent time, he may give you a smirk. 

- On the rare days he's actually pleased or bemused by you, he may spank you back in return. 

- He's not all that impressed or surprised by much anymore. But your attempts will always be amusing to him.

Young Justice Riddler: 

- This poor boy tenses up.

- Let's out a tiny surprise squeak. 

- Is the one to turn around and look at you in surprise.

- Like really you did that?

- You..you slapped his bottom

- His entire face is red. His heart is doing palpitations. 

- How..how does he respond? He does…appreciate the gesture he guesses.

- Please go over there and tell him it's okay and not to break his brain overthinking about it. 

- Then he'll be able to take it…at least a little better next time. 

Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 

- Whoa, where did that come from?

- His cheeks get dusted a slight pink. 

- Rub the area that you afflicted. As his face is conflicted. 

- He knows this is something couples do, he's seen it but never expected it to happen to him.

- His perplexed expression turns amused when he hears your cute giggles.

- Well aren't you proud of yourself.

- He's unsure if he should return the favor right now….

- Or just toss you over his shoulder and start tickling you.

I know Arkhamverse has trauma from being strangled, but I always want to kiss EVERY SINGLE RIDDLER on his neck! And that got me thinking... So I have to ask, how do the Riddlers feel about their necks? Like are any of them sensitive? Ticklish? Are any against their neck being touched? Do any love when their s/o goes for their neck?

A/N: okay but anon…how…how did you know I'm an absolute sucker for neck kisses?? Both giving and receiving?? Decided to go more headcanons this route, hope that's all right anon!

Neck Kisses with the Riddlers

Arkhamverse Riddler:

- Okay but out of most of these Riddlers, Arkham Eddie is by far the most sensitive with his neck.

- You’ve seen how Batman literally drags and manhandles him by the throat every chance he gets. 

- The minute you even reach out to cup his face, this poor man flinches on instinct.

- I know you love neck kisses, but don’t expect to be able to give this Eddie any…for a long, long, while. 

- For you to touch him, let alone kiss him, in such a vulnerable, previously abused countless times location. He has to trust you. 

- And Ed doesn’t trust just anyone, however once you get him to trust you…

- He adores it when you give him kisses. Lips, face, head, neck…it feels like devotion. He gets to finally put his guard down and let himself be adored, rightfully so, by you. 

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler:

- This Riddler…is sensitive. I don’t doubt he’s fairly ticklish.

- The minute you two shared your first kiss, he’s become obsessed with your lips on him. It doesn’t matter where. 

- I don’t doubt he’ll chuckle a couple times at the strange but ultimately pleasing sensation. It takes some getting used to for sure.

- When he does get used to your neck kisses though, he’s instant puddy in your hands. 

- His knees get wobbly, legs shaky, feels weightless. Trying to catch himself on a chair or sofa, but doesn’t want you to stop. 

- Please, don’t stop for anything…except for maybe kisses on the lips. 

Gotham Riddler:

- When the two of you get heated in a passionate make out session, Ed practically expects them. 

- He loves the way it makes him feel. 

- Admired, treasured. 

- The way they warm up his body. The way they alleviate whatever headache or migraine that’s troubling him at the moment. 

- Then again, most of your kisses do that for him. 

- It is a moment of vulnerability with him though, please respect that and don’t take advantage of it. 

BTAS Riddler:

- Edward is for certain that your kisses are the best reward, the best prizes in this world. Even greater than money or cars. 

- To say he becomes an addict is an understatement. 

- He loves it when you reciprocate his trail of kisses he leaves on you, earlier that day. 

- The way your soft lips press against the sensitive skin of his neck. 

- It warms the skin there, causes small goosebumps to form there. 

- You adore the way he warmly chuckles at them and leans his head and shrugs his shoulder, an attempt to bring you closer and keep you there at his neck. 

- Edward will be sure to return the favor tenfold. 

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler:

- This asshole expects them from you. 

- Like, what’re you doing? 

- You should be worshipping his body with kisses, ugh, you have an opportunity that so many dream of and you’re just gonna let it fly by?

- Obviously, once you power through the urge to slap the shit out of him (or just slap him, that’s fine too…probably will turn him on so good luck with that)

- He won’t admit it, like a bunch of other things, but he’s an absolute sucker for your neck kisses. 

- Ed likes how it does make him feel worshipped, someone worthy of attention and affection. 

Twojar Riddler:

- Oh ho ho this possessive buff leprechaun prick. 

- He absolutely thrives on neck kisses, much like how the other Riddlers do. 

- It’s a very intimate gesture of vulnerability, passion, and devotion. 

- Edward wouldn’t want to have it any other way. 

- He also eggs you on to go ahead and leave a couple of love bite while you’re at it. 

- It turns him on to see you act as possessively over him as he does over you. 

Gotham City Sirens Riddler:

- Edward can’t imagine a more pleasant way to end the work day. 

- Wrapped up in your embrace, kissing and groping like some lovesick fools. 

- The minute your lips hit the side of his neck, pecking up and down it. 

- The P.I. is a goner. 

- Whatever is left plaguing his mind from work, is completely forgotten. 

- He cradles the back of your head to keep your lips there, only letting up for you to kiss the other side of his neck (or kiss him, properly on his lips). 

- He’s sure to return the favor soon enough. 

Young Justice Riddler:

- Hnng this weak lad can’t even handle hand kisses rip

- PDA or…any sort of A in general…is new territory for this Eddie. 

- Kinda like Dano Riddler, I imagine he’s stupid ticklish. 

- Your lips barely brush along his neck and he’s in a giggly fit. 

- But it’s cute, so that’s fine. You go in for the kill regardless. 

- His whole face lights up red, warming up to the nth degree. Instantly becomes addicted to them though. 

- This Eddie just enjoys the fact that there’s someone that genuinely thinks he’s that attractive to warrant neck kisses. 

Telltale Riddler:

- Okay, first off, ew, how dare you?

- You really think he was just going to let you that close? 

- I mean, sure he likes the attention, he likes you…but you’re gonna have to earn the privilege to kiss his neck. 

- Yeah, I don’t know what you see in the Puzzle Grandpa either whoop.

- However, whenever you earn the right to kiss his neck, he’s got a dumb egotistical smirk on his face. 

- He…appreciates the gesture. 

Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 

- This man is absolutely weak for you. 

- When you smile at him, he feels like he’s been blessed. 

- To have you love him, excessively, and kiss every inch of his body. 

- Oh, well, he can’t get enough. 

- Especially your neck kisses. 

- The way you go from nuzzling his sideburns to kissing along his jaw, from his jaw you go lower to his neck. 

- He’s a warm buzzing mess, but don’t let him stop you. He loves this way too much.

[riddle-me-ri]

hi if its fine with you id like to request riddler with an artsy s/o and like theyre suffering artblock so they do a painting of him (he finds it sweet)

can be any riddler of ur choice and i also prefer gender neutral but if u end up writing fem i dont mind!

have a good night/day

-anon

A/N: aahhh that’s meee…this request resonates with me so well as an artist that suffers from art block or a chronic victim of endless reference scrolling to where I get lost saving references for everything but what I was looking for rip…only for me to settle and just draw Eddie from different media lol. And I'm so sorry ahead of time this got ridiculously long, I got really carried away and was having so much fun with the idea rip. So sorry for the length!

Riddlers React to Reader’s Art of Him:

Arkhamverse Riddler:

Edward always appreciated your capability to occupy yourself. While he was busy plotting, building, and scheming…you were sketching, collaging, and painting.

Of course, until one unfortunate day. Nothing was coming to you. You’ve just about drawn and sketched every riddlebot, every henchmen, and you even started scribbling question marks all over the pages…wait…what? Ugh. 

You needed to find a new muse. Anything…anyone…well there was one person you haven’t painted yet. 

However, you knew you wouldn’t be caught dead with your supplies in his workspace. The minute the paint spilled on the floor or god forbid you put your eraser down and it disappeared among the chaos. 

You grabbed your phone and began scrolling through your phone. You’ve taken enough candid photos of him, surely one of them would spark your interests. Your artistic eye landed on one such photo. Edward was smiling in this one, it was when he first got one of his riddlebots to work. Quickly you took to sketching the thumbnail for the portrait. 

There was knocking on the door. 

“What is it, Y/N! I’ll have you know I am very busy!” Edward was already raving and ranting before he even opened the door. 

“I-I know, Ed! This’ll only take a minute, please?” You begged, grinning your teeth into a smile as if you were trying to coax him and he was in front of you. 

Edward opened the door and looked at you. “Well? What was so pressing, you had to–”

You pulled the canvas out from behind your back. Edward was stunned when familiar green eyes met his own. 

“Y-Y/N…w-when?” He reaches out to grab it, but you quickly snatch it back. 

“Uh-uh, not with those filthy gloves. Take them off!” You ordered. 

Edward groaned annoyingly, but took them off whilst rolling his eyes. His eyes came back to the painting however as you let him hold it. 

Ed allowed the smallest grin lopsided along his face. He looked surprised, almost mesmerized…he was happy. 

Of course, that window of vulnerability smacked close the instant it let just the tiniest bits of light in. 

“Well, I wouldn’t expect anything less considering you had the most ideal subject to work off from.” 

Now it was your turn to roll your eyes, well the moment was sweet while it was there. 

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler:

Edward was practically the perfect subject for a life drawing. He had his usual comfort positions whenever he was enthralled in any of his usual activities. Which made him sit stable in one position. Whether that was playing games online, reading the paper and doing the crosswords, or endlessly scribbling away at his ledgers. 

You both mutually respected each other’s creative spaces. Not allowing one or the other to look unless invited. You rarely saw what was in his ledgers (you doubt you’d ever get the chance to) and you equally rarely show him your sketchbooks. 

It couldn’t be helped though. He was just too adorable. His small little smirks, his round cheeks, and pretty eyes. He was the best subject…not to mention he was always so still. 

You caught yourself staring glances of him at that moment. He was writing and typing away about something. Probably jotting down some riddles or puzzles of his own. Meanwhile you were steady sketching and erasing away. 

Both of you lost in your own little worlds. 

You didn’t even realize how much time has gone by or how Edward was all of a sudden in front of you. 

You jumped back in shock, curling your arms around your sketchbook to shield its contents. 

“Oh…sorry…I-I didn’t mean to make you jump.”

You sighed. “It’s okay, just lost in the zone for a minute.”

There was a moment of silence as Edward decided to take a seat next to you. You were pondering your next move, but maybe it would be a good step towards moving your relationship forward. 

“W-Wanna see what I’ve been working on?” You offered.

Ed’s head immediately picked up. “O-Oh…uh…y-you don’t have too if you’re not comfortable.”

“I wouldn’t offer if I wasn’t.” You handed your sketchbook to him. 

He glanced his eyes back and forth between you and the sketchpad. He slowly gripped it with a soft excited smile on his face. You shrugged in on yourself, hoping you made the right call. 

“W-Wait…” He gasped. “T-That’s me? You drew me? Just now?” 

“Ehh…more like the past hour and a half.” You chuckled nervously. 

“I-It’s great…I-I’m f-flattered even. Is this how you see me?” Edward was beside himself. He usually can’t stay looking at himself in the mirror. Seeing his inner self-loathing grow and spread from the inside out, but…but he liked this Edward, the one drawn by you. 

You nodded. “Yeah. It is.” You put your hand on his shoulder and wrapped the other around his waist. You gave him a small side hug and a kiss on his cheek. 

Gotham Riddler: 

You were probably the only one in the whole precinct that actually enjoyed his ramblings and absurd amount of info-dumping. He was too animated to ignore and he made for the perfect drawing subject when you found yourself stuck on what to draw. Thankfully, he’s usually too lost in his thoughts and verbal vomit to pay you any mind to you doodling away. 

Until today anyway. 

“What’re you doing?” 

“Huh?”

“I’ve noticed that while you are actively listening to me talking, and I do appreciate you actually paying attention…I’m curious to what you’re also doing while I’m talking…” He stammered. 

Well, you weren’t prepared for that discussion. 

“Oh, uh…well…I-I’m actually drawing you..” You answered. 

The room was silent. Edward was prepared for every answer…but yet not that one. 

“I-uh-oh...um…wasn’t expecting that.” 

“Did you think I was taking notes?” You giggled.

“Err…actually I thought you were just keeping yourself busy cause…I thought I was boring you.” Edward admitted. 

“What? I don’t find you boring at all. Look!” You quickly handed him your sketchpad before any other negating thoughts came to his head. “I love listening to you, and watching you speak. You’re so animated and brilliant and I want to capture it...or try to anyways.”

Ed’s eyes lit up at you mentioning him, in a positive light. No one’s ever referred to his ramblings as…animated and brilliant before. “C-Can you show me? T-The drawings of me?”

“Oh, uh…” You seized up, the amount you’ve actually drawn finally dawning on you as probably reading on borderline creepy. However, he wasn’t going to believe you unless you showed him the proof. 

You quickly handed him the medium sketchpad before you had time to refuse. 

Ed’s eyebrows raised as his eyes widened. He immediately recognized himself, he could almost recall the conversations. He found himself softly chuckling at the small footnotes to what he was saying beside the sketches. 

“D-Do you like them?” It seemed silly to ask, but you needed vocal affirmation to the silly grin on his face. 

He looked up at you, completely bewildered but extremely giddy. His smile was stretched across his face, no doubt the biggest smile you’ve seen from him. 

“I-I-I love them…they’re great! Y-You’re incredibly talented Y/N…”

“Nah, I’ve just got a great subject.” You nudged your shoulder with his. He returned the sketchbook to you. 

There was another moment of comfortable silence until Ed stole glances between you and the sketchpad. 

“What is it, Ed?” 

“Well, I don’t want to start sharing until you’re ready!” He grinned. 

You smiled back but quickly plop down on your seat and grab your graphite pencil. “Okay, I’m ready.” 

BTAS Riddler: 

You were way too focused. After months, almost years of drawing Eddie, you were confident enough to pull off this decent sized portrait of him. He’s been your whole world for so long, he occupied a lot mroe of your thoughts than you cared to admit. Although, there was nothing wrong with showing that appreciation. 

You were too excited to wait for his birthday or Christmas or Valentine’s Day. You just wanted to give him something, plus drawing and painting him help broke you from your art block the past few weeks. Seeing his adorable face slowly come to life on the canvas, you even amazed yourself at a moment or two. 

It was the hardest secret to keep until you finally were ready to reveal it to him. You two just had a fun date night. Everything was perfect, and the mood was just right. Love, passion, and tenderness flowing between the two of you. 

You’re reminded yet again, just how much you love and adore this man. He leaned down to kiss you when all of a sudden you remember your portrait drying in your studio. You gasp which shocks Ed but you tap his nose and tell him to wait in the living room. 

He quirks a curious eyebrow at you but stays put. 

He’s shocked when he sees you carrying something almost as tall and wide as you behind your back. You pull it out from behind your back, a thin protective sheet of paper still covering the art. 

“I-I made this for you, Eddie.” You said softly, handing him the canvas.

“D-Darling..you…you didn-” When he pulls the protective back, he’s in complete awe. He finds himself breathlessly chuckling. “I-It’s me?”

“Of course it’s you, there’s no one else more handsome!” You went up and kissed his cheek. “Do you like it, Eddie?” 

“I-I-I’m in awe, I love it…You’re so talented, my dear…thank you.” He kissed your temple in return. You grabbed his chin and leaned him down to properly kiss you like he tried to do before. 

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler: 

Now, this asshole…he’s surprised you weren’t already drawing him. Like what better muse do you need, Y/N? He’s right there! He knows how much you love his face, the way he grins, his expressive eyes, and even more intricate and expressive hand gestures. You don’t say it but he can see it in your eyes, you don’t hide your obvious attraction to him well. 

However, you still sketch away even while rolling your eyes. As much as you hated to admit it (and as much I, too, hate to admit it) the smug bastard was fun as hell to draw. His face was so pudgy and he was able to do certain expressions you haven’t seen before. 

“Why don’t you ever ask me to pose for you?” He teased you. 

“Because quite frankly thinking of painting you like…uh…French girl, doesn’t sound amusing to me.” 

Edward blinked at you in disbelief. You found yourself succumbing to your chuckles at his displeased expression. 

“Now, you and I BOTH very well know, that’s a lie!” He crossed his arms defensively. 

“Is it?” You challenged. 

Edward nodded. “You may not think it, but I’ve seen you draw me before, and even I have to admit, you capture my essence pretty well.”

“Does that essence portray a conceited dickhead?” You asked. 

He narrowed his eyes at you. 

“I’ll take that as a no…damnit guess I’ll have to fix those..”

“C’mon, Y/N! Just this once!” 

“Are you paying me?” 

“What? NO!” He laid down in front of you on his side on top of the thankfully empty coffee table. “I should be offering payment for my services, but this will be a freebie.”

You found yourself reeling your eyeballs back into your sockets. After more minutes of bickering you conceded and painted the egomaniac. You tried to stay focused no matter how often he kept teasing you with winks and kissy faces. 

When you flipped the canvas around to show him the final product. You made sure to steady look at his face. He may be a conniving manipulator, but if he was pleased or surprised he couldn’t hide it. You found yourself grinning, as his mouth opened to a soft “oh” shape and his eyes were widened. 

“Well, what do you think?” 

Somehow hearing your voice snapped him out of whatever thoughts he was having. Gone went the wide eyes and speechlessness. 

“Well, I mean..it is amazing, but then again your subject matter is pretty incredible…”

You snatched your supplies and started storming off.

“Hey! Come back! It looks good! You even got my eyes right this time!” 

“Oh fuck off! I never screw up your eyes!”

“So you do stare at me?”

“Ugh!” 

Twojar Riddler:

Just call him the David to your Michelangelo. You would never outright admit it but it was pretty clear to the two of you that you had a mutual appreciation for the other as muse and artist. Whenever you had a slow art day or when you weren’t getting any ideas, Edward was usually always free to stand in as your art subject. 

Almost too willing some times, even suggested it on days you were doing well enough on your own. Although it never hurt to practice more life and anatomy practice. Edward would very much prefer it was HIS anatomy as opposed to anyone else’s. 

One day, you realized that you never actually truly painted him. It was usually just quick thirty minute or sometimes an hour long sketching sessions. He was always pleased with whatever you drew, sometimes teasing you where you tend to mostly put your focus on when drawing him. Whether it was his face, his hands, or chest. 

Regardless you wanted to wow him at least once with your skill. Lately you’ve been pulling out the paints again. Ed noticed but never mentioned them. You were thankful for, you wanted to be able to get better at the medium before putting your favorite subject to the test. When you felt like you painted everything under the moon and began running out of ideas to practice on…you felt like it was time. 

“You want to paint me this time?” Ed asked, wearing a white dress shirt with barely one bottom button barely buttoned. He also wore some dark green slacks. 

“Yeah, thought I’d change it up a bit. I’ve been practicing with the paints for a minute.” You explained as you set up your easel and paints. 

“I’ve noticed, you’ve picked up on it rather quickly, not that I’m surprised.” He grinned. 

“Well, hopefully, I can impress you instead.” You chuckled as you finally took a seat. 

“You always impress me, dear. I always admire you and your craft.” 

You smiled softly at that. You shook your head to get rid of the blushes coming to warm your cheek as you began to focus. 

It took an extra hour and a half than you liked. Edward occasionally talking to make conversation. You two never sat well in silence and oddly enough, these were the few intimate moments you got to catch up with one another. 

“Well, darling?” 

“I-I…well…”

“I won’t move until you’re certain.” 

Your heart swelled at his commitment. “You can see it, Eddie…” 

It was eternity for him to go from his sitting spot to your side. You didn’t miss the small intake of air and the wide smile on his face. 

“Well?” 

“I-It’s outstanding…y-you’ve outdone yourself my dear.” He complimented. 

You couldn’t resist the squeals of excitement that came out as you wrapped your arms around his neck in an embrace. “Thank you, Eddie! That means a lot!”

Gotham City Sirens Riddler: 

It wasn’t unheard of that there were slow days at the office. Much like this one dull and dragging Wednesday evening. After all your spring cleaning and organizing your office space was done, you figured it wouldn’t hurt to pull out your sketchbook. 

Usually Ed had the door to his office closed, but since he likely was not expecting any new cases today he decided to leave it open. 

After scribbling some random faces and various shapes to get the drawing muscles warmed up, you took a glance into Edward’s office. 

You haven’t drawn him yet. Sometimes you’ve caught Harley or Selina waiting and got to draw their faces. Every now and again you got to draw the clients that came in. Better still, there were a couple cases Edward required your artistic skill to draw a possible person of interest or whatever descriptors a client may have to help him go off of. 

You liked those cases best, they made you feel good like you were actually helping Ed and not just his book keep. 

You started sketching out your basic shape and guidelines. Stealing the glances of Edward like a kid stealing cookies from a jar. Just to make sure Ed didn’t have the slightest clue to your creative activity. 

“Well, Y/N. I guess it’s time to call it a day, I suppose it was a good day to–Y/N?” 

“Yes, sir?” You looked up and almost jumped from your seat when he was in front of you and not in his office. 

“What were you doing with your spare time?” Ed smirked. He looped around the edge of your desk to where he was beside you. 

You didn’t have a chance to explain it before he saw the drawing of himself. 

“I-I’m sorry, Eddie…I-I don’t mean to freak you out, I was just…didn’t know what to draw and I’ve never drawn you before…”

Ed scoffed. “Could’ve fooled me, this looks amazing, Y/N. And dare I say, extremely flattering too.” He winked at you. 

You gulped the slowly suffocating and growing lump in your throat. “I-I uh..t-thanks, Eddie.” 

“Thank you…come on, let’s get out of here. Perhaps we can discuss future art projects for you in the future with yours truly.” 

Young Justice Riddler: 

If you could say you had a number one fan of your art, it was Edward. You could doodle a tiny smiley face any child could draw and he’d absolutely adore it. He adored your sketches of the teammates, or your landscape studies of different places you guys travel too for the Light. 

One day on such a trip, you found yourself at a complete loss. You didn’t feel inspired to draw anything, and you wanted to draw. It always helped pass the time on these trips. 

You looked over and saw Eddie busy typing away on his PC. No doubt doing research for this upcoming mission. A lightbulb went off in your head. You quickly started sketching him, your heart every now and then skipping a beat whenever he smiled at his screen. You were thrilled he hasn’t spotted you yet, it gave you all the motivation to get it done as quickly but accurately as possible. 

“Y/N? I didn’t know you were in here!” 

You looked up and your eyes met warm brown ones. You quickly glance back down at your pad and back at him just to see if they are any more details you needed to add. 

“Oh hey, Eddie! Yeah...I-I’ve been in here for a minute.” You chuckled. 

“Why didn’t you say anything?” He took a seat next to you. 

“Well, because I wanted the chance to draw you!” 

“D-Draw me?” He even pointed to himself with his thumb to get double affirmation. 

“Yeah! Look!” 

Edward took the sketchbook in his hands and his breath was immediately taken away. He saw himself in black and white on the paper, yet…it was how you saw him. You somehow drew the confidence he struggled to find in himself…onto him. 

“Is, is this how you picture me?” He asked softly.

“Yes, babe…that’s you.” You smiled. “I’m kind of impressed with myself. I captured your sweet smile I love. I got your eyes just how I like…it’s all you, and everything I adore about you.” 

Edward found himself chuckling. "I-I…I love it, you make me look…how I want to look like.." 

You put your head on his shoulder. "You already look that way to me." 

You kissed his cheek, giggling as his face started to blush.

Telltale Riddler: 

God, it was so damn difficult and intimidating to impress him in any and every possible way. 

However, you knew Edward had an appreciation for the arts. Thankfully you were artistic, and he seemed to enjoy the little still lives you drew. Giving you the smallest nod or the lowest of satisfied hums. 

Well, what was driving you anxious now was how he’d react to this portrait of him you did. You had a major art block and wanted to paint human figures for once. It made sense to paint Edward considering how long you’ve been with him…however predicting his reaction was nerve-wracking. 

Would he like it? Would he just give you pity comments but totally roll his eyes at it? He’d probably comment about how you had better things to do with your spare time. 

However, you knew he would have questions to what has kept you so busy the past couple of weeks. While he was tinkering away in his hideout. You occasionally reached out periodically but mostly stayed in your apartment. You invited him over for dinner so you can unveil your painting to him. 

“So, what was it you wanted to show me?” As soon as dinner was over, Edward didn’t beat around anymore bushes. 

“Well, you were asking what was keeping me so busy. I was working on a little project, to surprise you with…” You tried to swallow down the lump of nervousness in your throat and slow down the anxious pacing of your heart. 

“F-follow me.” He followed you down the hallway and to your little studio in the room right across from your bedroom. 

The painting was covered with a protective thin sheet over it. You went to the side of it and with a quick breath your snatched it off. 

It was a mid-waist portrait. He was in his Riddler get-up, the hood was down, but his eye mask was still on. He held his staff in his hand and leaned it against his shoulder. 

Edward was speechless. He was hardly ever speechless…so you weren’t sure if that was exactly a good or bad reaction. Eventually the quiet was eating away at you. 

“Edward?” You asked, slowly dropping the sheet from your hands. 

“I-I-I…” He finds himself flabbergasted. No one’s ever done anything like this for him. The only pictures of him are either from mugshots or wanted posters. Pictures of him were usually videos or images of him in mid-heist. 

“This…this is very impressive, Y/N. Is this what kept you busy these past few days?” He was steady staring at his portrait. 

“Y-Yes…I wanted to surprise you with something, and I’ve always wanted to try my hand at figures.” 

He looked over at you and grinned. “You certainly did that, you surprised me and impressed me. If you ever wish to…draw from real life…feel free to bring your supplies to the hideout. Just as long as you clean up and keep up with them.” He winked. 

Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 

Hmm…just one more little line here…erase that guideline that was still there.

"Hey, Y/N! What're you drawing this time?" 

You had your supplies all lined out on the living room table. You had your artboard in your lap with your sheet of paper. You were drawing while waiting for Edward to come home. 

"Oh…just this really handsome person I know. I see him every day and yet I never thought to draw him. It was the perfect way to break out of my art block!" 

He was hanging up his suit jacket, hat, and mask while he took in everything you said. Yet it just now registered to him as he started walking towards your makeshift work station. 

"W-wait what? You drew me?

"Well I'm glad to know you know it's you." You chuckled. 

Edward leaned over the back of the couch and looked over your shoulder. 

“Whoa…you weren’t kidding.” He mumbled.

“Why would I kid you? Do you like it?” You leaned your head next to his. You could feel his smile stretch to scrunch his cheeks. 

“I-I love it…I look amazing! W-Well I mean..you drew me amazing..I’m still just me..” He chuckled. 

You giggled back, turning his head to the side, you leaned in and met his lips with yours. “I love you, and I drew you as I see you. You’re always amazing to me, Eddie.” 

He smiled back at you, with the most loving eyes imaginable. 

“I can keep drawing you, if you wish. If that’ll make you believe!” You nudged his shoulder with yours. 

He laughed. “I don’t know about that but I do know I like the idea of being your “go-to” muse.”

[riddle-me-ri]

Different versions of the Riddler constantly making freudian slips when they are near their crush Y/N. Like they are hanging out and Y/N stops to smell a flower, and Eddie is just like, "I wish that was me...". But when Y/N turns around and asked what did he say he just blurts out. "I WISH YOU WERE STUNG BY A BEE."

Or

"Gosh you are so lovely. I love you."

"what?"

"I meant - YOU ARE A MONEY AND I'M SELLING YOU TO THE ZOO!!"

(You don't have to do this if you don't want to I just think it is a funny idea.) ^^

A/N: Aww this is such a super cute idea lol but I think some Riddlers will probably be suaver than that, but most of them would absolutely erupt into random blabberings cause that's easier to explain than his emotions lol

Riddlers x Reader - I Love You--Wait, what?

Arkhamverse Riddler:

You just had to be near him, and that frustrated him. He was frustrated that he got flustered around you. You made his brain stop thinking logically, and purely upon emotions, and he hated it. You constantly distract him with your laughs and smiles. 

The way your eyes genuinely lit up when watching him work. How you shared his enthusiasm whenever one of his machines or gadgets sprung to life. The way you looked at him with excitement and pride, the way no one has ever seen him. 

He was working on another one of his projects. You would look between his blueprints and back on the parts he was tinkering with. Trying to connect what you saw on the paper to what was physically there. 

Edward stopped moving his tools for a moment and just looked at you. 

“I adore you…”

“Come again, Eddie?” You looked up to face him. 

Edward froze. His hands tightened around his tools, wishing it was his neck instead. 

“Oh, uhh..er..I said I warned you, not to get too close. Sparks could fly and there’s no use you going blind!”

Dano Riddler:

Edward enjoyed seeing you, it started to become his favorite part of the day. It took you sometime, but you were able to get through his hard exterior and you two eventually became friends at work. Of course, it didn’t take long for the companionship to evolve into something more deeper and intimate for Ed. 

It was another boring business party. Edward will never understand why they make these things mandatory. He knew no one wanted him there just as much as he didn’t want to be there. 

“Eddie! Is that you?” 

He heard your voice over, and turned around to greet you, but he wasn’t prepared to actually see you. You were dressed to the nines in formal wear, it was the first time he’d seen you in anything but work attire. 

“Y-You look stunning…”

“What’d you say, Eddie?” You asked with a small smile. 

“I-uh-er-um..I-I was humming to myself, sorry..”

You giggled. “It’s okay, I’m glad I could catch you! You look handsome!” 

Edward gulped the growing frog in his throat. “Uh…oh, yes, um…thank you.” Someone shoot him now. 

Gotham Riddler:

Another tale of work friendship blossoming into something more. Edward appreciated you more than he could ever express in words. You actually listened to him, made an honest attempt at his riddles, he was overjoyed when you tried to tell some of your own (even though he knew the answers before you even finished them, but he was appreciative all the same). 

It didn’t take long for romantic feelings to start taking over. He wanted to ask you out so badly, tell you everything; how much you mean to him, how he appreciates you…

“Gosh, I love you…” He muttered. 

“I’m sorry, Eddie! I didn’t catch that!” 

His heart stopped and dropped to his stomach. He totally forgot you were right next to him at his desk, overlooking a new report for him. 

“NOTHING! Uh, uh...sorry I mean…I just said..that..uhh…I-I need you..your second opinion on this report…” 

“Smooth.” said the dominant personality that lingered dormant beneath his self conscious.

BTAS Riddler:

Even though Edward is now a well known criminal, he does still enjoy making toys and games, even if nobody gets to enjoy them. However, that is until he met you. You were one his associates at Baxter Toys, and yet somehow stayed in touch while he was in and out of Arkham. 

“Oh, Eddie…this is incredible!” You commented. You just solved his new renditions of an old puzzle box concept he developed. 

“You’re incredible.”

“What?”

Ed’s eyes widened as he repeated what he said in his own head. “Oh, ah, um…I said thank you, you’re input is greatly appreciated.” 

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler:

He actually says things like that rather often, and expects you to take it as a joke and not sincere at all. The only way you’d know it was sincere is when he backtracks, because he didn’t expect you to hear him. 

“You’re pretty amazing…”

“What was that, Ed?” 

“Huh, what? I didn’t say anything, can you go back to bending over, please?” 

You rolled your eyes and instead walked out of the room, barely hearing Ed let out a “hey!” as the door closed on him. Proud prick.

Twojar Riddler: 

He doesn’t see the reason to say anything unless he’s going to be heard. When he tells you something he expects you to hear it. 

“I know I don’t say it often…but I hope you know..” He’s cupped your chin in his hand and made you look up into his eyes. “I am absolutely enamored with you…”

“W-Wait what?”

“You heard me.”

Gotham City Sirens Riddler: 

One time, he was in his office just organizing some case files in his cabinets. You decided to take the opportunity to also do some spring cleaning around your office space as well. Plus you enjoyed spending time with Eddie. He liked reminiscing on old cases with you or cases he took in your absence. 

When the scenario in question started, he was recounting a time your assistance really came in handy. 

“I remember that,” he smiled fondly at the memory. “You are so brilliant..”

“Sorry, didn’t catch that! What did you say?”

“Oh, um, uh…I was just thinking…” His brain rattled to try and say something, until he realized. There was nothing to worry about what he said, because what he said is true.

“I was just thinking about how brilliant you are, I’m lucky to have you on my team.”

Young Justice Riddler:

You two were on another recon mission for The Light. You were sitting beside Edward on the jet flight to your next destination. You were staring out the nearby window, with a contented smile on your face. 

He hoped you didn’t notice how he stared at you, yearningly. The way the soft light of the setting sun made your face glow more radiant than before. It made you look ethereal. 

If heart eyes existed, he would have them right about now. 

“Gosh…you’re so gorgeous…I love you..”

“Huh, did you say something, Ed?” 

“NOTHING! IT WAS NOTHING!”

Telltale Riddler:

He’s sorta like twojar. Whenever he speaks, he expects to be heard, if he didn’t want anyone to hear he wouldn’t have said it in the first place. Not to mention it’s hard to get a compliment or any sort of affirmation, but on the rare chance he does, he won’t hesitate to manipulate you to think you didn’t hear anything. 

He hummed pleased at the new outfit you were wearing. “You look radiant..”

“Hm?” You turned around to face him.

“Oh, nothing, dear. Don’t you fret.”

Gaslighting prick. 

Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 

You were one of the few hench-people he hired on that he could genuinely trust. You always had his back when it came to physical altercations with the Batman. You could keep a secret if he was weary of a traitor in his gang. He also had a massive crush on you as a result of this. 

He watched you as you went through a basic work out regiment. Edward felt like an absolute schoolboy the way his cheeks were dusted a rosy pink and he found himself occasionally gasping for air. 

“You’re incredible, God I love you..”

“Sorry, Eddie.” You slipped off the earbuds you had in your ear. “Did you want to tell me something?” 

“NO-N-NOTHING..no..nothing at all…ehh er..sorry, I-I’ll leave you be.” He did leave you with his tail in between his legs and him kicking himself mentally, whereas you were just left confused.
