Do you have anymore Arkhamverse! Dork Squad relationship headcanons?

aw thank you!! here are some gen relationship headcanons for our boys!

arkhamverse!dork squad relationship headcanons

jonathan crane

you guys read together all the time, and yes, he will read to you if you ask. his voice is really soothing and honestly he just likes that you're enjoying yourself so he goes along with it

OH also sometimes you read the same book at the same time and then talk about it... something something the romanticism of book clubs...

do you like tea? well, he does, so if you're ever interested, he'll definitely make some for you too. (speaking of, he will make you hydrate. got a spare moment or two? have some water.)

he will kiss you first thing in the morning. morning breath? we don't know her

won't admit it but is touch-starved like you wouldn't believe. please give him lots of hugs, he needs them

if you have him as your phone wallpaper, expect some weird looks from people behind you in public places. just as a heads up. ("why is that dude who threatened to fear gas the shit out of the city your background?" "mind your own business!")

edward nygma

edward is severely touch-starved too, but is even less likely to admit it! he will protest when you hug him, but he'll calm down in about two seconds flat. he'll practically be purring

will say various things like "i don't like you" or "you're the bane of my existence", does not mean any of them. often he says stuff like this while doing nice things for you, and it fools absolutely no one

he acts like an above-it-all asshole, but if you tell him you love him or give him one (1) compliment you'll put him out of commission for the rest of the year.

seriously. he'll splutter and turn bright red and it'll be hilarious.

will panic about any health problems you may have because he's either panicking or utterly unhelpful in some other strange way ("you're overreacting." "I WILL PUNCH YOU.")

a relationship with edward takes. a lot of work, and even more patience, but trust me, if it works, it works. he's bad at showing it, but he's utterly devoted to you.

jervis tetch

constant affection. all the time.

he has eight million nicknames for you, will call you most of them in a couple sentences.

is genuinely so interested in the things you like??

like, if you say you like some tv show, he will pull multiple all-nighters to finish it just so he can talk to you about them.

he's just so happy to be with you. he brags about you all the time and simply does not stop talking about you to anyone who'll listen.

makes grand, sweeping romantic gestures all the time. i mean roses, releasing a bazillion doves, renting out an entire restaurant for dinner, the whole bit. he does this completely unapologetically, too.

if anyone hurts you, they conveniently disappear, and their body turns up about a week later. it's not a pretty sight, and jervis pretends he knows nothing about this. his badly-suppressed smile tells you everything you need to know about his involvement.

oh boy we're really in it now

arkham!dork squad w/injured!assistant!s/o

jervis tetch

he panics.

it's insane how unhelpful he is in this state. you're probably one of the only truly good things that's ever happened to him, and the idea that he might lose you (especially because of something he did) is terrifying to him.

you're the one who's hurt, but you have to calm him down. ("jervis- jervis, love, don't cry, i'm alright. could you just call a doctor for me, please?")

he desperately needs to know that you don't hate him or blame him for what happened. he's completely convinced that you're holding this against him, and he mopes around and generally is miserable until he gets it through his thick head

once it becomes clear that you're not dying or leaving him because of his mistake, you're attached at the hip. even more so than you usually are.

and he hovers. he changes your bandages if that's what you need, he brings you soup, and he will not let you out of bed.

he's not letting you out of his sight until he's sure you're back to your usual self and not in any pain, so good luck to you

edward nygma

his first reaction is probably something like "oh, stop being overdramatic" and then he looks and oh, it's bad.

then comes the panic. he's not very good with medical stuff, so he calls someone (probably a doctor who doesn't make house calls) and threatens their life if they don't get over there instantly

he's like a backseat driver with the doctor. he constantly questions their methods and gets super involved. it's not helpful but he can't stop doing it. what if they're completely incompetent and they end up hurting you more?

he pretends he didn't get all crazy and concerned about your injury once he knows you're out of the danger zone. however. if you joke about it, he goes on a rant about "how stupid could you be to let this happen" and all of that nonsense

please just sit through this because he gets to the point eventually, the point being don't joke about that, i take your life very seriously. it's not an apology but he's sure acting contrite enough

just give him a hug, he's on the verge of a breakdown

jonathan crane

he's mister take charge from the get-go. you're yanked away from your station and out of the room before you can say a word

depending on your injury, he either takes care of it himself or calls in a doctor, very calmly making thinly veiled threats of violence if they're not there fast enough.

but let's assume you're injured in a way he can take care of. he brings you into the bathroom and cleans your wound with all the precision and efficiency you know he's capable of.

he doesn't talk the entire time, and his grip on you is just this side of too tight, but look, just let him have this

his entire world has narrowed down to just you and your injury. he's got complete tunnel vision here.

once you're clean and out of danger, he starts to come down from that adrenaline rush and it leaves him shaking with residual fear

he doesn't apologize for anything, ever, but this time he does. it's a whisper, and you barely catch it, but he says it, it's there

and then he starts muttering about how if he'd been more careful, if he'd been watching, maybe this wouldn't have happened, and he could go on for days so please stop him

the whole thing's shaken him up like you wouldn't believe, but he won't admit it. and he keeps an extra close watch on you the next few days to make sure you're healing properly.

hey! i've been thinking about this all day so buckle up we're going for a ride >:)

arkhamverse!scarecrow w/seductive!reader (arkham style)

at first, jonathan didn't really notice you.

it really isn't anything against you, he's just so wrapped up in his own little world when he's in arkham that he barely notices anything. he's separated from his experiments and has to deal with inane psychiatrists all day, he's allowed to get away from it all for a little bit.

but once he does- oh boy.

you're obviously beautiful, and he can appreciate that, but what really hits him over the head is your intelligence. you're really the whole package.

and then you decide to talk to him, and mans has to reboot himself like a 2005 windows desktop all over again.

you're witty, able to keep up with him, and you aren't bothered by his antisocial tendencies. you don't seem bothered by his appearance, either, which is an added bonus.

and see, jonathan's not a guy who's complimented very often, and you do it so often that it gets a little overwhelming sometimes.

you don't always see each other, what with group therapy and being stuck in your cells all the time. but you always have a wink and a flirty smile for him whenever you do spot him in the crowd, and he starts to look for it after a while.

he won't do much about it, though. he'll pine away in secret and that'll be that... until he gets out.

trust and believe, as soon as he leaves arkham in the dust, he's tracking you down. then he'll get all the time to figure out what's wrong with you that makes you want to flirt with him as often as you do.

Okay okay can I have Arkhamverse! Dork Squad falling in love with their assistant? Or Fellow rogue?

Your choice 💞

hey anon, thanks for asking! sure you can! <3

arkhamverse!dork squad falling in love w/assistant!s/o

edward nygma

well, you somehow made it past the mood swings and the snide insults and everything that comes with being within a 10-foot radius of this man, and now you've become indispensable.

see, our boy eddie's not very good with taking care of himself. he's consumed by his riddles and his funky yet deranged lil obstacle courses for batman, and so he forgets to do a lot of basic things.

luckily for him, you're there to pester and coax him to take breaks. (he definitely made fun of you for it in the early days, but now he's come to terms with it and really doesn't mind at all.)

it's a long, long time until he actually realizes he's in love with you. you've become so familiar and needed in his life that he just always assumes he feels for you because you make him stronger.

he realizes this right as he's building something, and from another room you just hear something fall to the floor. when you peek your head in to make sure he's not dead or something, you find him just standing there with a thousand-yard stare.

"um, edward?"

he snaps out of it and turns to you, eyes wide. "what? oh. yes, i'm fine. go away, i'm busy."

he is now absolutely terrified of his feelings for you. it will probably take a meteor strike or something to get him to admit them.

jonathan crane

so this was... unexpected.

see, unlike edward, jonathan is fully capable of recognizing his reliance on you. and it works out, because you're smart, you don't annoy the fuck out of him, and you're actually helpful. this is a winning situation.

what is slightly less "winning" is the fact that you're starting to distract him, and it's not even anything you intentionally do, either.

it's your outfit, the way you've done your hair, the way you're not afraid to look him in the eyes... girl (gender neutral) it's everything all of a sudden.

like, sometimes he engages you in a stupid argument just to see you get all worked up over defending your position. your eyes light up and it's just great to watch. you're adorable when you're passionate about something

there will definitely be a point when you'll say or do something and it really hits him full in the face- he's in love with you. he loses track of the conversation you're having and forgets what he's doing, just sorta sitting there and trying to get it together before you notice anything.

point is, he's fully aware that he's in love with you, and while it won't take as long as it'll take ed, he probably won't be taking the first step any time soon.

jervis tetch

he probably starts falling in love with you the second you even give him the time of day. most people dismiss him as this crazy dude who thinks he's a character from alice in wonderland, and that's what he's used to. you don't do this, and that hits him like a brick to the face.

you are his new best friend. that's all i've got to say about that. he thinks you're the best thing since sliced bread to grace this earth, and will frequently make this known.

he's absolutely convinced that with you by his side, he'll find alice in no time, and maybe even get batman's cowl while he's at it. he is slightly oblivious, to be honest.

he's a touchy-feely sort of guy, and even he doesn't entirely notice that he feels the need to touch you a lot. like, far more than he would anybody else.

see, the difference between jervis and everybody else is that to some extent, they're rather hesitant to open up about this (at least until they're sure their feelings are reciprocated). jervis adamantly is not.

he realizes he's in love with you all at once, like a lightning strike. and as soon as he figures it out, he's telling you.

how could he have missed it? he's been so busy looking for alice that he didn't notice something much better was in his grasp all along.

he apologizes almost frantically for not seeing it sooner, and you'll have to calm him down and tell him that it's okay, you're just happy he loves you too.

Love your writing <333

sure! (continuation of this post)

edward nygma

he probably only confesses by accident. he never actually means to tell you, he can't handle rejection.

something's happened- maybe his new invention works and he gets so caught up in his excitement that he turns and kisses you square on the mouth.

he probably doesn't even register that he's done it until a couple minutes later, and then he's all kinds of deer in the headlights.

on one hand, he's afraid you'll reject him, but on the other, he's just mystified that he even did that in the first place.

"um. you can forget about that, if you want," he forces out, trying to look put-together and not at all distressed by this idea.

just kiss him, he won't stop overthinking and obsessing over it until you do

jervis tetch

he's most likely the first to do it, actually. he's very open about his feelings and blurts it out as soon as he realizes that it's love.

he's probably just watching you do something when it happens. it's not even that special, but something's different this time, and he can't quite put his finger on it.

of course he's got this dopey smile on his face the whole time, too, and he's just sorta thinking about how beautiful and intelligent and caring you are, and then-

"i love you," he bursts out.

if you don't reply immediately, he starts rambling. ("well, how could i not? you're- you're so pretty, and you make me laugh, and oh, y/n, would you say something?")

please, god, cut him off now.

he definitely invites you to dinner after that, and it is the most romantic thing ever. prepare yourself, 'cause you are getting wined and dined tonight, babeyyyy

jonathan crane

he pines. so much, in fact, that it's like a forest up in there.

funny how fear didn't really have much of a grip on him until he realized just how important you were to him. if this is how love feels, he does not like it and thinks it's overrated.

but then you smile at him and he decides that actually, he's alright with being in love, as long as it's with you.

it will take possibly a life-or-death situation to get him to confess. something bad's happened. maybe it's batman, maybe a trap or something just went wrong, and now you're in danger.

he almost completely shuts down trying to get to you. he's so afraid, but he just white-knuckles it until you're safe again.

"i don't want to lose you," he whispers. "i love you."

it's a quiet, gentle, sweet affair. he'd come very close to losing you just now, and if he thought telling you while you were alive and well was terrifying, the idea of never getting to tell you at all is even worse.

"i won't let this happen again. i will keep you safe."

"because you love me?"

"because i love you."

You have made a grave mistake Moffy >:) you would think that I, Badger, would write something soft and sweet like a kitten's purring but you would be mistaken. Behold! Angst! Mixed generously with a fine powdered reader-insert element! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA YOU HAVE FALLEN INTO MY TRAP

- While in recovery after Croc's attack, Jonathan became very emotionally distraught. The pain he experienced every waking day left his emotional state in utter tatters. It truly broke your heart whenever he would ask you if he was ever going to heal. Though as soon as this part of him came to light, it vanished. The day that he became virtually emotionless was the day he sewed that damn mask to his face. You walked in on him doing so and all he did was look behind his shoulder at you, then simply proceeded to return to doing what he had been before you interrupted. After that, the only detectable emotions he harbored were anger and hate.

- As a result of a head injury in the asylum, Jonathan developed chronic headaches and migraines. Even with his various pain-relieving medications, these days are usually spent in bed. White dots dance in what remains of his vision and his head throbs as though a bullet were lodged in his cranium. 

- Eventually, with time, Jonathan will become fully blind. He’s halfway there already with all his sight gone from his right eye. The head injury he sustained caused his vision to worsen so quickly, that most of his sight was missing within a year or two of the incident. The left side of his vision is in better condition than his right. He’s able to make out blurry images in his peripherals and while he’s completely blind in his right eye, he’s merely farsighted in his left. 

- With his limited sight, reading has become a struggle. He gets so frustrated with not being able to read as well and as often as he used to. Sometimes he becomes so fed up with not being able to see he’s thrown books in anger. A thing that once brought him so much comfort was so quickly torn away from him and it’s made him bitter. 

- Jonathan has an addiction to the morphine and sedatives he uses to stave off his physical and mental aches. It's the only thing that helps to completely relieve him of pain and other issues that hinder him from doing work. 

- Jonathan seems to have nightmares every single night. The snapping jaws of a crocodile, fists pounding against his skull and ribs, water surging into his lungs; all haunt his mind while asleep. If he wakes up from a nightmare, he'll usually just stay awake for the rest of the night. If he can't already sleep soundly, why keep trying? More often than not you wake to an empty bed. 

- The most painful thing about the injuries he suffered was not the damage to his left leg or anywhere else, but to his lips. He loved to lay his lips against your skin, alighting it with soft, sweet kisses. But now.. he can’t. Half of his lips have been torn to nothing, leaving his gums and teeth partially exposed. Kissing is no longer something he can comfortably partake in with you anymore. Now, whenever he tries it’s awkward and he struggles to be affectionate in those ways. While romance already was not exactly his strong suit, he feels even worse at it now. 

- Jonathan’s paranoia doesn’t stop at thoughts of Batman’s bruising fists or Croc’s teeth. While he doesn’t voice it aloud, he’s constantly terrified you’ll leave him. There are so many better people out there for you. Why him? He’s disfigured, constantly in pain, disturbed mentally and emotionally. He truly believes that he doesn’t deserve you. 

- He feels safe with locked doors. Any room he's in he locks the door behind him. It's nothing against you whatsoever, don't get him wrong, it just helps to ease his paranoia to a degree. Of course, if you knock and ask if you can come in, he'll let you inside but he'll re-lock the door as soon as you come in.

- When one of the militia said that "Scarecrow is probably huffing his toxin," he wasn't wrong. Not only is Jonathan addicted to drugs that relieve his pain, but he's also dependent on the gas variation of his toxin. While he receives a pleasurable high from the gas, the same cannot be said for his liquid of terror. The difference being is in the chemical make-up of the gas and the liquid version of his toxin. Both do differ from each other and work/function in the body differently. 

(He/him for s/o pls)

hey anon!! i’m so down let’s do it

arkham!scarecrow: usually any compliments coming his way are slightly backhanded, in that they’ll be something along the lines of “you were so smart, but you chose the wrong path” or “you could’ve used your knowledge for good!” and the fact that you can acknowledge his intelligence without belittling his life choices is very much appreciated in his eyes. he will take this as an opportunity to compliment you back- specifically when you least expect it. prepare to get flustered, he’s gonna say some stuff very seriously and completely out of the blue

i'll give u some general hc's! love this request it's so cute

thinks you are just adorable, but in the more lowkey sense (especially arkham!scarecrow)

he's not one of those people that takes your appearance or demeanor as a sign that you're not intelligent or still dangerous- you may not be intimidating, but you're certainly not stupid, either. he knows better than to underestimate you

you are a shining presence in his life, and he doesn't get many of those. he very much wants to keep you happy and with him

and you don't remind him of the harshness of life, which is something he doesn't get very much at all either

sure thing, anon!

btas!scarecrow w/physically loving!reader

he's kind of floored by this

nobody's really wanted to hug him or show him affection like this before, so he's likely to stand completely still when you hug him the first few times

it takes him a while to hug back, but he does start to relax in your hold pretty quickly

he likes it though. he really likes it. he'll never admit it, and it'll take him some time to start initiating physical affection, but he likes it when you do it.

hi anon! dw i gotcha! and sorry that this took so gd long oh my lord... i forgot this was in my drafts and NOT my inbox

jonathan crane:

makes you coffee (or your preferred drink of choice) every morning

is an early riser, but if you're not, will tuck you back in once he gets out of bed

forehead kisses are big

long, long hugs

quiet quality time. he will also read you books

asks about your day and remembers most (if not all) of the things you tell him

jervis tetch:

big cuddler fr

sometimes he just presses his forehead against yours. it's just a thing he does. he closes his eyes and just enjoys being close to you

is a total gentleman. holds doors for you and the whole 9 yards

lots of pet names (dear, darling, etc.)

loves cooking for you

jerome valeska:

the "THATS MY PARTNER" guy

very touchy. wraps his arm around your shoulders, around your waist, cheek kisses, the works

I’m thinking maybe a injured Jonathan showing up at the apartment of a old colleague/crush of his

And the reader is taken care of him and they just have a deep much needed (slightly romantic maybe) talk

Maybe idk it’s if you have the time thanks with that i am casting a spell for you to have a good day

HELLO to the last request in my inbox!!! y'all know what that means- my requests will be open in about the next 30 seconds!! sorry this took so gd long bestie i am also ashamed of myself. here are some headcanons since the muse has been flighty and cannot write actual fics to save its life

by this point, jonathan has to be somewhat delirious from blood loss, because you guys haven't seen each other in a long time. you're also not a criminal, so it would be incredibly risky to pay you a visit.

this does not stop him. in his state, all he can remember is how kind you were to him, and how fond he was of you.

he's honestly lucky as hell that you still have a soft spot for him, because any other rational citizen would toss him out on his ass and then call the cops.

you don't do this. what he remembers of the moment he saw you again is you opening the door, your expression one of shock and worry, and then nothing until he woke up next.

you give him soup and wrap him in blankets, and you bandage him up, and by the time he wakes, he's sure he's in heaven. this is the best he's felt in a long time

he's still half expecting you to throw him out, but you don't do that. you always have defied his expectations of you

and then you ask him why. why all this? why fight the batman, why conquer fear, why subject others to it? and it's the million dollar question that everyone and no one asks at the same time. you don't ask it with accusation in your voice, you ask because you want to understand

and he tells you everything. you're open and easy to talk to, and it all just comes rushing out

soon he's admitting to things he hadn't intended to tell a soul- namely that back when you were colleagues, he'd been a little sweet on you

"although i'm sure half the class did," he scoffs. "i can't see why they wouldn't have."

please take the first step here and kiss him on the mouth please he's given so much today dude is tired as fuck

he's probably too tired to do much else other than kiss you, but he will let you get under the blankets with him and cuddle. he will never admit it but he is touch starved like you wouldn't believe

BTAS Scarecrow stalking the reader, only for the reader to find out and they’re totally into it. They start putting on a show for him (if you catch my meaning ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) and by the end they finally let him know that they knew he was there all along by blowing him a kiss or something. How would he react?

I had to write this on my phone cause I'm having computer problems. Also, I went more fluffy on this one cause I need some more fluff right now.

Scarecrow/Johnathan Crane

It was a cold rainy night in Gotham City, everyone had long ducked for cover except for a mysterious figure lurking on a fire escape near your apartment window. The infamous Scarecrow also known as Johnathan Crane was sitting outside of your apartment watching you. He had been obsessed for months following you to learn about your habits. But something was off.

Before you had a very set routine, but all of a sudden it started to change. You would stay out later, wear more provocative underwear, and even leave your curtains open just enough for him to look inside. It was almost as if you were trying to get his attention.

He watched as you turned off the tv and started to make your way to bed. The moment you left he pushed open your window and slipped inside.

"Did they mean to leave them open?" Crane thought

He shed off his wet coat and hung it next to the door. Then started to clean up the puddles of rainwater he dripped in.

When he was finished he took a seat on the sofa. He imaged you sitting next to him snuggled up beside him mindless watching a show together.

It wasn't until midnight that he decided to try and get a closer look. He walked down the hall to see your bedroom light on. He waited for a moment before he heard you yawn and saw the light click off. He crept to the bedroom and peered inside to see you asleep.

He gently pushed open the door and snuck his way over to a chair in the corner. Next to it was a small table and a note. Being nosy he took a seat and started to read.

Caught you.

He looked up to see you sitting up wide awake in bed. He began to panic, when you let out a chuckle.

oh yeah. you have come to the right place my friend for sure

yandere!btas!jonathan crane headcanons:

good luck!

no for real though. this man is lonely. he's been lonely a long time, and though he is self-aware enough to know that, he's not exactly going out of his way to change it.

until you come along. and you change everything.

he's the kind of guy to sneak into your place at night and go through your bathroom cupboards.

breaking and entering is this guy's JAM. he learns so much about you like this, and sometimes he just watches you sleep because you look so peaceful

he also does this because it doesn't involve talking to you. and as enamored as he is by you, he is also an anxious guy. fucking this up with you is not an option.

he's very gentle with you, very touchy. it's as much for him as it is for you- it reminds him that you're there, and it grounds him. he's also touch starved as fuck so that's there too

manipulative! really manipulative!

would manipulate you into leaving people he doesn't like. he'd go as far as to make you fear them, so you cling on to him even tighter

this man doesn't have a psych degree for nothing ladies germs and everybody else, he knows how people tick and how to change that tick ever so slightly over to a tock.

he is dangerous, and he will kill people on your behalf, and he will present it to you (if asked- he won't tell you straightaway) as completely justifiable

ooh lets do it anon youre cooking here

this jon honestly didn't think he'd ever find someone who loves like he does- until he meets you

and at first he's very, very careful about keeping the... less acceptable parts of him under wraps. the last thing he wants to do is scare you away

in fact, he's even happy to do it- if hiding this part of him is what it takes to keep you, he'll do it. no questions asked.

so to find out that you not only share the same obsessive inclinations but that you feel like this for him is almost overwhelming in how happy it makes him

he finally takes the lid off the pot, as it were, and tells you everything

how much he knows about you, what he may or may not have done to certain people in your life, how he loves you more than anything he's ever loved before

(and how if you left him, he doesn't think he'd ever love again)

if anything, your reciprocation just makes him worse. it's so freeing to not have to hide himself anymore
