Before the Riddler, there was D3bug by Syoukoladesaus

Summary
There was one person in particular who helped Edward Nashton become the Riddler, and he didn't even know who they were behind their screen. 'D3bug' was the only name he knew them by, but Edward knew better than anyone that a mask-in this case a screen-allowed people to be their truest selves.
D3bug was the enigmatic creator and administrator of the infamous imageboard site nigma.org, the first place Edward ever felt a sense of community.
One night, during his investigation into New Beginnings, Edward posted a thread requesting insider information about the Iceberg Lounge, and D3bug responded.
Neither of them knew this would be the beginning of their shared descent into madness.

Summary
A stakeout. A shitty motel. A single bed. And Romy Winslow. She was always pushing him—always in his head, always under his skin. Smirking, taunting, begging to be put in her place. He told himself he wouldn’t break. Wouldn’t give in.
And yet—here she is. Beneath him. Breathless. Ruined. His.
Just this once wouldn’t hurt.
Right?
