36 sparksChapter 5: Aftermath Of Jonathan Crane Calling Edward His Friend In An Emotional Moment
Jonathan froze, brain grinding to a halt as he tried to process the sudden sensation pressing into his sides. It didn't help that a desperate, deep-rooted part of his mind was clogging up his thoughts with a chant of flee flee flee.
"W-what're yah doin'?" he choked out, doing what he — though he'd never admit it — usually did when he was confused: asked his smartest friend for help.
"It's called 'physical affection', Jon," Edward chuckled against his chest, arms tightening slightly.
Finally, Jonathan realized that he was being hugged. Edward was, for some inconceivable reason, hugging him.
"Oh," he said, rather smartly. His usual confidence was lost to him in that moment. "Uh... why?"
"Because I'm touch-starved." Edward shrugged without letting him go. His voice went sing-song as he added, "And you're my friend~."
Jonathan groaned, relaxing minutely into the other's hold. He knew he was going to regret saying that, he just didn't know it would come so soon.

I do! and yeah no wonder she snapped, although... i suppose it's gotham, being overly friendly would seem like a villian in the making to folks who cover themselves in barbwire.
You do what?
I'm glad you liked the story 😊😁
Oh, i wanna learn more about Maddie's fate! If that offers still on the table of course.
Ah! Yes, okay, so she gets transferred to Arkham and ends up in group therapy with others who've gone down the supervillain path for similar though not quite the same reasons as her. They almost drive their therapist insane, but said therapist ends up proving that one can go through bad situations and still choose to do good. It ends on a hopeful note with the group healing together, and Maddie finally having a social circle where she can feel accepted again.
That's what I planned, anyways. I'm glad you liked what I wrote, and I hope you like where I planned to take it 😁
Oh! That's great! I love Happy ending so I very much do enjoy where you planned to take it. Thanks for sharing~!

OMG, Johnny, what did you DO? 😂

Sorry, I don't like connecting with strangers online.
Nora: I LOVE THEM.
Mr Freeze, grinning from ear to ear and actually emoting for the first time in years: I thought you might. That's why I collected them for you!

Hello. I'm sorry, but I've gotten a LOT of comments like this. If you're legitimate, ignore this, but:
If you're a scammer, leave me alone. I have zero interest in paying someone to draw anything from any of my fics. I'm an artist and plan to slowly illustrate all of my own fics over years. And I don't connect with anyone online unless I know them in real life. I have gotten so many comments like this, I'm fairly certain it's all actually from the same person/group/whatever. To reiterate,
LEAVE ME ALONE.
