Fanon
Many shipped this pairing even before the two had met, but fics slowly became more common after the first scene together in season 1, but wasn't as popular as it's rival ship Gobblepot. Shipping between the two became more popular during season 2 when they shared more screen time, and became the most popular ship in the fandom during season 3.

Fics range from future fics, about their time when Bruce Wayne becomes Batman, as well as missing scenes. Many also like the idea of them running Gotham together as a mob boss couple. Fix it fics also became popular during season 3, where the events of the season drastically changed their relationship.

On AO3, Nygmobblepot is the most written for both characters, as well as the most written in the Gotham tag.
