[Western Crossover] The Penguin Prince

My name is Oswald Cobblepot, the heir to one of Gotham's most prominent aristocratic families, and a beautiful little prince as famous as Bruce Wayne of the family next door.

I received an elite aristocratic education from childhood, and was every bit the template for a winner in life. I had beauty, wealth, and intelligence. Perhaps I was simply too perfect, and the heavens envied my talent. On the night before my seventh birthday, an evil witch cast a wicked curse on me, turning me into a short, fat, round penguin freak! They said only true love's kiss could break the curse...

To hell with true love's kiss!

My mother, the person I'd had the most hope in, was so frightened that she kicked me out of the house. From then on, I went from an aristocratic little prince to a penguin freak living in the sewers!

Hmph! That wasn't going to stop me from rising to the top!

Though I'd lost my good looks and wealth, I used my intelligence to make a comeback from the sewers. I reclaimed my family, drove out my stepmother, and became one of Gotham's biggest power players, a regular at Arkham, the Penguin!

But my curse was never broken. After all, in a place like Gotham, how could I find true love?

Heh. Every woman was only interested in my power and wealth.

Just when I'd resigned myself to life and prepared to spend the rest of it looking like this...

I changed back.

After Batman beat me up and I woke the next day in Arkham's luxury suite, I discovered that I had become a six-foot-tall, long-legged, handsome man with black hair!

So here's the question: who broke into the psychiatric hospital at night and secretly kissed me in my room? Who could truly love my penguin body?!

Written for love, inspired by The Frog Prince.

As for who my true love is, I don't know, and I don't dare ask. Depending on how the story goes, there may or may not be a couple.

Ahem, I'm writing this on a burst of enthusiasm. You know how it is.

In this setting, Penguin and Batman are about the same age. The story is definitely mainly about the Penguin. You can tell from the blurb that it's pretty silly.

This isn't a story about bullying him. It's true love (wink).

Theme: Anything is possible.
