  Summary

  Gotham is a big place filled with many bad people. Soleil has seen it as her life's mission to help people be better. She is also a terrible narcissist who views them as less than human. Quite the city for her to be in.
  Edward is stubborn and OCD-ridden, also dedicated to fixing Gotham, but for different reasons.
  They are so similar but also polar opposites; they HAVE to crack.

  Starts a month before Akrham Origins, continues onward until I say so.
