Summary
The Riddler encounters his least favorite kind of mystery: the kind that knows answers that he doesn't.
Written for Riddler Week 2026.
"Riddles were necessary for Edward Nygma in the same way that water was necessary for fish or mayonnaise was necessary for any properly Midwestern fruit and gelatin salad. Riddles weren't just toys to throw at Batman or a clever gimmick to make him stand out from the rest of the tights-and-terrorism crowd. Riddles were the language that he spoke. They were a way to reach above the humdrum static that clogged normal minds and connect with the rare handful of truly exceptional intellects out there (and then dance them to his tune until they admitted that he was, indeed, the smartest man in Gotham City).
Riddles were essential, and Edward Nygma knew the answers. He always, always knew the answers.
Except for this one."

Summary
What if things didn't go quite as Vox planned when he captured Lucifer?
"And now here Vox stood, in his latest moment of triumph (and oh, there had been so many recently, he was building up a whole photo album of Charlie and her dad getting their asses handed to them over and over again) and nothing was going to stop him now. With a little twitch of the electricity flowing through the wires below him, he started the lift. Lucifer, trapped in his egg-shaped prison, rose into the air -
And came to an abrupt, grinding halt. "

Summary
Lights! Camera! Joker!...oh, this can't be good.
--
"Instead of the oversized talking lemon in a tutu, though, the first person to appear through the door was...was...Milton felt the measuring cups tumble out of his limp fingers as he stared wide-eyed at the Joker. The Clown Prince of Crime, wearing his traditional purple suit under a ruffly pink apron that said Kill the Cook in large, suspiciously red letters, adjusted his ridiculously huge chef's hat and waved at the audience."
