>>123747559>>123747614>>123747726I had an idea for a fic back in my writefag days about a shy abused Gotham kid taking refuge in the garden/park near his home and caring for the plants as a sort of emotional outlet. It would set up a run in with Ivy, since of fucking course it would, every writer makes her use the botanical gardens as a lair to the point where it's a wonder they're kept public. She'd end up empathizing with him some and slowly becoming a confidant/mother figure over the course of their meetings (whenever she happened to be out of Arkham lol), and eventually he'd run away to pretty much be a full time accomplice and sidekick for her.
Didn't really plan on going the /ss/ route at the time, though, I just always liked the concept of a kid going villain because one was sympathetic to them (also had a half baked writeup of a kid from Central City who would be Captain Cold's number one fan). This just made me remember the idea since Ivy's my villainfu too.
