Summary
As Ed took a step towards the tree, he felt like he was being watched. He turned around and saw a flash of blond hair hid behind a tree. He took a step towards the tree, peering around it.
A kid. That was Ed’s first thought as he took in the blond-haired kid in the armor(?) and cloak.
His second thought as the kid noticed him and began to run away was that the kid had bright red eyes and pointy ears. Ed stood there for a moment as he stared after the kid, tilting his head.

Summary
Gotham doesn’t need androids to terrify its criminals — it still has Batman. But to Edward Nashton, the man behind the mask is the greatest riddle of all: Bruce Wayne, untouchable billionaire, Gotham’s shadow, and lover to the ever-perfect Clark Kent. A man Edward could never have… so he built one instead.
The android was supposed to be an answer. A likeness, obedient and flawless, something Edward could control when the real Bruce refused to be solved. But perfection is fragile. His creation begins to glitch, slipping between pliant possession and something dangerously human — too stubborn, too questioning, too much like the man it was never meant to be.
What begins as an outlet for obsession twists into a dangerous intimacy neither of them can escape. In the glow of Gotham’s neon nights, Edward finds himself falling for his own invention, unsure if he’s in love with Bruce Wayne, with Batman, or with the machine that refuses to stay a copy.
What happens when the thing you built to love you begins to love — and defy — you back?

Summary
Riddler was frustratingly smart enough that it was hard to keep him under control. He escaped Arkham too often with too many schemes and too many allies, and Bruce was starting to wonder how he would ever keep him away.
And then he realized. Edward didn’t need crime, per se, he just needed something to do. Something to keep his mind occupied with anything actually beneficial, something to distract him with and something that actually forced him to think.
And well, after that- all that was left to take care of was Edward's need for attention; but Bruce could handle that.

Summary
Ed and Al move into the Tucker home until Ed can pass his state alchemy exam. Shortly after they start living there, Ed finds himself in a difficult position, but is too scared to ask for help.
---
Edward stretched his hand out to the doorbell, gripped his suitcase with his automail, and held his breath like it could hold in his nerves as well.
His finger pressed the button.
Silence. Completely uninterrupted except for the high, drawn out chime that hung in the air. Had he known what was coming and been a man who believed in God, he might've considered it a message from the deity to run while he still could. Ask him later and he might tell you that standing there on the porch, his brother by his side, his anxiety fluttering in his chest, was the start to another period of his life where things went wrong.
