(Late) Valentine's Day Special

Requested by Frozen_soda

Summary: Pretty obvious, but this is your first Valentine's Day with your rogue of choice.

Once again, I am late to publish a holiday special. Tried to get this request out first just for that fact alone. Also, art above is made by candy-fae on Tumblr who makes a good bit of rogues gallery art with their own designs and they're just SO cute (with the occasional angst for lil Jervis)!!! They also have Valentine's day cards for Riddler and Mad Hatter, I just put Scarecrow up here since I think he's neat (translation: I simp hard for him if you couldn't tell).

     Riddler: He goes all out but in the worst way (by that I mean it's something hella illegal). You hadn't seen him all day and it was starting to worry you, until all of Gotham's tv broadcasts were filled with you boyfriend, standing proud in his snazzy green suit and purple mask. Proclaims his love loud and proud for all of Gotham to hear, rambling off all the things he adores about you and why you deserve the world. Thankfully he doesn't mention you by name, but it's not like the whole of Gotham is clueless about the Riddler's newest obsession. You're just shocked he didn't set of heart shaped fireworks or anything like tha- never mind there they are.

Oh! He also kidnapped Batman and tried to have him demasked on camera in one of his mazes just to prove how he is superior, but that obviously fails because it's Batman... and Robin shows up to help. Guess you better head to Arkham to meet Eddie there.

     Scarecrow: So, this man has never been in anything close to a serious relationship before and overall ignored/hated Valentine's Day up to this point. Ironically, he was pretty anxious on the days leading up to the holiday since he had no idea what to do and was overthinking the whole event (not to mention he nearly forgot about the whole thing until Harley reminded him). Jonathan lacks the salary to take you anywhere nice or get you anything too expensive without needing to steal it. In a light panic, he seeks out Jervis for advice, seeing as he's much more of a romantic. Jervis helps to calm him down and makes him realize that you would appreciate anything he does, even if that's just being there. Jonathan still tries to make the day special for you, though. He wakes up earlier than you to make breakfast and sets your presents on the table. It's a simple heart-shaped box of chocolate and an item you've been wanting/needing for a while now (or something you mentioned looking for once and Jon just happened to remember it). Probably apologizes for not being able to do more so please reassure him that this is more than enough.

Now if you got him something in return, he is absolutely floored! Stunned into silence you might even say! He did not expect much in return even though that's the entire point of the holiday and will cherish whatever it is you gift him. Also accepts affection.

     Mad Hatter: Romantic tea party! Jervis finds this perfect clearing, with the help of some fellow rogues, and spends days planning the perfect tea party just for the two of you. It's secluded from all the harm of the world and especially Batman. The table is filled with all your favorite treats and surrounded by roses of all shapes and colors, though most of them are red. Jervis also has a bunch of presents saved up and eagerly awaits your reaction for each one, drinking up any affectionate words/gesture you give him in thanks. The two of you conclude the date with a lovely stroll through a rose-filled garden under the sparkling night sky before Jervis walks you home.

     Penguin: This man spares no expense. Pulls every connection he has to get reservations at the best, most expensive restaurant in Gotham (or Metropolis since, let's be honest, Gotham's probably lacking on that front). Manages to keep the whole thing secret until you get there. The way your face lights up in awe when he reveals where you are makes his heart flutter. Tells you to go all out and get whatever you want. How he manages the check is a mystery since he refuses let you worry about a thing. Has this look of adoration in his eyes throughout the entire meal, constantly throwing compliments your way. This man could sing your praises for days.

     Two-Face: Can't really go on any big public dates due to being an easily identifiable criminal, so chances are there will be no fancy restaurant dates anytime soon. But they both make it up to you by spoiling you rotten! Either Harv would hand you a bunch of cash and tell you to go wild or, if the two manage to find a decent disguise, let you drag them around to window shop. Any item that even remotely piques your interest is now yours, no arguing. Harvey made sure to save up enough money on the side just for this occasion, though Harv is more than willing to steal something for you if it comes to that.

     Harley Quinn: Decorates your house for the occasion, practically burying you and the hyenas in cut out hearts and streamers. Serves you breakfast in bed before leading you to your dozens upon dozens of presents she got you. Whether she obtained them legally or not is anyone's guess considering some of these are rather expensive (*currently eyeing the huge diamond that definitely wasn't stolen from the Gotham Museum*). Harley also treats you to a bunch of candy, both for you and her since she has a major sweet tooth! Really giddy throughout the whole day, jumping around and dragging you about the house, probably pulling you into an impromptu dance at some point. The day is filled with laughter and kisses.

     Poison Ivy: It shouldn't be a surprise that Pamela has a strong distaste for Holidays such as this. Not that she dislikes the sentiment behind such a day, it's the commercialization and use of plants as a statement to be thrown out the next day. Before the day even arrives, Pamela's already ranting about how roses are treated around this time. So, chances are, you both spend the day scheming and/or enacting a scheme on some of Gotham's elite. Not to be disheartened, Pamela does keep the whole romantic aspect of the day in mind and does make sure to treat you to some gifts and affection throughout the day.
