Summary
Oswald contemplates aspects of his hiring criteria and personality while bemoaning his bad timing. This is triggered by a revelation in that morning’s issue of The Gotham Gazette’s gossip column concerning and old ‘friend’.
This is my entry for day two of Riddlebird Week 2025, the prompt was Henches, which is a non-gender specific term meaning subordinates. Like henchmen but including the ladies without being cumbersome.
The first day’s prompt I did an art piece, so please don’t go looking for a fic for that one, it doesn’t exist lol. -

Summary
A 50 year tale in 50 short stories.
Edward Nygma (once Edward Atticus Nashton who was born in Huxford, Alabama) had hated most of where he came from. Other than a couple nice cousins, there was nothing worthwhile of home to remember or think fondly of in the future that he made for himself. There was no need to dwell on silly things like past trauma when he now chooses the path he walks.
Except, there's no real way to escape over a decade of abuse at the hands of his father, but maybe discovering his villain identity and repressing memories while he tangles in the lives of more evil beings will help as a distraction. Couldn't hurt, right?
