𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲_ Miguel falls for the sweet spider girl that opens a bakery on the HQ. Of course he had to ruin it, but… Did he lose the girl? 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬_ age gap (legal, not specified), implied Hispanic reader, angst, asshole Miguel, pastries and sweets,idk, no proofread 𝐀/𝐍_ read along cruel summer from my playlist!<3 (cruel summer coded fic)

♪ ♫ My Miguel O’Hara playlist ✰ Index (+ fics here)

Miguel O’Hara thinks you’re annoying, always giggling like a toddler and gossiping with everyone. Except him.

He had to accept you were creative; your iridescent suit was proof of it.

Your friendship with the spiders that gave the most terrible headaches to Miguel was annoying.

You’re laughing very hard with Gwen in the middle of the gym sector.

When Miguel looks up, he sees Miles tangled in a tight of webs in the ceiling.

“What is going on here?” He asks, walking in completely.

“Oh-“ Gwen mumbles, the laughing seizing.

“Hey, Miguel!. Can you help me come down?” Miles asks, causing you and Gwen to start laughing again.

Soon, silence reigned again after Miguel sent you and the blonde girl a death look.

The man rolls his eyes and sighs, tired. However, he goes and helps Miles to get down.

“pss…” Gwen whispers, indicating you quietly leave the gym. You nod, smiling.

It had been almost a year; since Miles learned about his destiny since the spot almost killed everyone, and since you joined the Spider society.

Yeah, a lot happened.

“I never said you two could leave…” Miguel spits without even looking. When he does, you and Gwen are holding hands, looking scared as if a spook was in his place. He could laugh if it wasn’t because of the image he had to maintain.

“I asked for that earth-01989 report two hours ago…” he said, frowning at Gwen.

“And I needed you in today’s mission with me,” so Miguel wanted you; he needed you out of all the spiders in the facility.

“I was in the nursing room getting stitches. See?…” you say, lifting your arm to show your bare skin sewn with a fine thread. Some blood was decorated around the long line that would likely transform into a scar.

Miguel’s angered face softened.

“Are you okay?” Even Gwen seems abashed when Miguel asks you that.

“Yes. It was this tedious variant of Mysterio and his projectiles” Miles finally appears on Miguel’s side, hearing the conversation.

“I don’t want you on any mission until that heals”

“Are you kidding?” You ask incredulously, thinking your boss was exaggerating.

“Do I look like I’m kidding?” He could not be intimidating. Always making sassy comments, with a monotonous tone.

“I guess not…” Your face barely brushed his chest. And the one and only time his hand holds your body, you feel like a porcelain doll, small and delicate.

“Buena chica….” He finalized petting your head and starting to leave. It annoys you; you weren’t a dog.

“And what am I supposed to do in the meantime?”

“Use your imagination, y/n. You’re a creative spider…”

Gwen, Miles, and you just stare in silence.

He thought you were creative; how sweet.

…

Miguel just finished a debriefing. He was finally alone until Jess entered the room, at least without her loud motorcycle.

“What are you doing? It’s lunchtime,” she points out.

Miguel smells sweet, sugar… or something soft.

“I don’t take my lunchtime. You know it…” When the woman stands beside him, he sees it.

There’s a little plate on her hands. Spider cupcakes and a cookie… with his mask as a decoration.

“What’s that?” He asks in disbelief.

“What? This?. Oh, it’s from y/n’s bakery” Miguel looks confused.

“…y/n’s bakery?” Jess shrugs, biting the cupcake.

“Yeah, you said the aisles beside the cafeteria could have a renovation.”

“I never approved a bakery.” He wasn’t mad but wanted to know why you didn’t ask. He would have said yes, only to you.

He started to move towards the exit and heard Jess sighing.

“Don’t be harsh with her, Miguel. It’s making everyone happy…” he didn’t say anything.

…

Half of the aisle was a cabin in the woods, with moss, bulb lights, bookshelves, and the smell of espresso all over.

The other half was the Italian Renaissance, similar to the Bradbury building of LA. Black and white floor tiles with a dark and elegant vibe.

Very interesting.

Some spiders greet him and say he needs to try his own cookies. Miguel doesn’t know if it annoys or intrigues him.

Until he walks to the cash register, you are with Pavitr and Margo giggling. Margo is taking the orders, and Pavitr helps you with the baking.

Miguel sneaks through the back door for the kitchen and grunts, making you and the boy turn around.

“What’s this supposed to mean?” Miguel asks. Pav drops some dishes and stares in shock at his boss.

“So-… I’m leaving,” Pavitr mumbles before calling it quits. You send him a lousy look before washing your hands from the dough in the process of being finished. Finally, you stare at Miguel with a smile.

“This is The spider’s lounge cabin bakery.”

“That’s a long name,” you laugh hard, slight dimples forming. And Miguel is annoyed. Cute

“Why I wasn’t noticed of this?” you blush, scratching your forearm. He never thought you would build a bakery while you healed.

“I wanted to tell you. But you’re always busy. Jess said she would tell you.”

Jess never said anything. He could always make time for you.

“Then she must’ve forgotten too,” you nod. Suddenly you don’t know what to say. Miguel feels the air shift; Margo keeps taking orders, and people keep picking cakes and cookies, but deep down, everyone wants to hear what Miguel is saying to you,

“I’m not mad, y/n.” He really is not.

“But I’m not happy either.”

“Just.., just try something,” he’s surprised but looks at the showcase shelves with many desserts; crème brûlée, cupcakes, a pink mousse, and slices of cakes. But there was a section that captured his whole attention; pan dulce. Pieces of conchas, torcidos, mantecadas, there’s even chocoflan, arroz con leche and more.

“Oh, yeah… you know about my Hispanic heritage. And… I did this whole section for you” his heart beats faster. But as the stubborn spider, Miguel only asks Margo for a polvorón. The girl hands him the cookie, which is small and covered in white dust that is sugar.

Honestly, you’re sweating. Too nervous to digest Miguel’s upcoming reaction.

He takes a bite of the cookie and slowly starts chewing it.

“Please don’t fire me…” he hears you but says nothing.

He has to suppress a moan from how good the polvorón tasted.

The cookie was perfectly baked, with small pieces of walnuts appearing once in between bites. And the sugar melted in his mouth.

“I want a report on how this is doing….weekly,” you nod. But there’s a little smirk on your face; you know he must’ve liked the cookie.

“As you wish. Thank you” he only offers you a slight nod before leaving.

He didn’t need a report. It was useless. But that meant he could see you around oftenly.

…

Jess was right. Everyone seemed to be happy with the Spider’s lounge cabin bakery. Miguel had to see donuts, cakes, and more, dedicated to different spiders or seasons.

And somehow, Miguel grew fond of you, but was terrified.

He promised to stay away from catching feelings. Maybe it was because of the sweet smile you always offered him whenever he passed by the bakery.

Or the stupid cookies you kept doing based on his mask.

It must have been because of your jericallas, his favorite dessert.

Every Friday, Miguel was there, watching you bake. There wasn’t a lot of talking, mostly just him finishing some reports and planning missions as you decorated pastries. It was a pleasant silence, though.

Quickly, after some weeks, both of you were used to it.

You sigh, looking at Miguel. The spider society was almost empty on a Friday night. But he was there sitting on the little desk. He looked ridiculously broad seated there.

He must feel tired, but he’s a workaholic. You admire him cause of that, only you can’t help but feel some sadness. Loneliness must haunt him. And you would love to be his company.

Suddenly Miguel smells something; herbs and sugar.

“Miguel…” you call him. Hoping to catch his attention, and help him to relieve the stress he was always in.

A cup of hot tea and a slice of pan de elote appeared before him.

“What’s this?…” you roll your eyes at him.

“You’re tired. And you didn’t pick any empanadas today. Please, eat something…” he didn’t know how perceptive you were of him. He was glad you were.

“Fine,” he accepts. You cheer, and he can’t help but smile.

The tea is sweet but no more than the pan de elote. It’s perfect, soft, and made by you.

“Do you like it?”

“You know I love everything you do…” you’re shocked. The feeling of getting blushed only increases.

He probably referred to your baking; that’s it. Maybe he referred to everything else.

“That’s so sweet of you, Miguel” Now he was blushing. Staring at each other, you’re the first to break contact, hiding your gaze by placing some hairs behind your ear.

“So you do this in your earth?”

“My grandma taught me everything. And then, I worked in a bakery for a while. Now I’m just in college,” he nods, taking another sip of the tea.

“Coding, right?” Now you nod with a smile, surprised that he remembered your major.

“Yeah. I wanted to major in arts, but my parents thought it wasn’t good enough to give me a stable income.” Miguel had some idea of the economy being totally different than the one on his earth. However, he’s very intrigued to know more about you. He thought it would be harder to converse with you, but surprisingly, that was not the case.

“What else do you like to do?” You realize you’re having the most extended conversation you’ve ever had with Miguel since… ever.

“I’m a home girl. I like staying in my room and reading and watching movies. I’m pretty boring. Anyways…What about you?”

“I-I really don’t have time for anything” Somehow, Miguel was embarrassed. His life revolved around being Spider-Man and leader of the spider society. And since he lost his family… that’s all he was.

You offered him a warm smile. You could feel he was not proud of that. And you blamed the trauma he had with his past. And from the bottom of your heart, you leaned to caress his big shoulder.

“You deserve a break, Miguel. The spider verse won’t collapse for you wanting a life” Something from your words touched him. He looked into your eyes and found kindness. You were what he needed.

“Would you hang out with me?” It was too late to analyze what he had said, basically a date. Miguel wanted to bang his head against the desk. Maybe you didn’t want to do anything with him, only coworkers. He was older than you and-… No. He was afraid of the date going well. Cause if that happened, he wasn’t sure if he would give in to you.

You’re blushing again.

“For real?…like friends? Or like… a date?” You were babbling. Never in your wildest dreams, you thought Miguel O’Hara would invite you to hang out with him.

“Whatever it pleases you,” there was no turning back. He was happy, though.

“I would love to have a date with you” The touch on his shoulder sends him a wave of tranquility. For one day, Miguel promises to not think about his past and enjoy the moment. He thinks he’s choosing a woman like you; intelligent, realistic, sweet, and kind. Everything could quickly go well.

“Okay then. It’s a date…” he smiles; it’s a short smile, but you’re more than pleased.

He stands up and cleans the desk. While he does, you have a dorky smile plastered on your face. And you are eager to find out Something.

“Miguel?” He keeps cleaning.

“Hmm?” His back faces you, but he can see you smiling.

“Why me?” Finally, he turns around.

You are so small. He can’t wait to see how your little hands will feel tangled with his. Your ear will barely press against his chest as he hugs you tightly. He couldn’t hide it anymore… he had feelings for you.

“You match what I need,” he said before leaving, not before giving you another brief smile.

Before that day, you weren’t even sure if Miguel cared about you. You were technically new to the society. And he barely shared glances with you.

But you matched his needs, and that was lovely.

…

A thrift store dress was always a good purchase. For this occasion, it was lilac, a y2k nostalgic dress. It matched your red lipstick, red purse, and chunky boots.

You were going to have a date with Miguel O’Hara.

He would meet you to see a movie at your New York historic theater and then… dinner.

Simple.

A few days before the date, you dared to kiss Miguel on the cheek after heading out of the HQ.

He blushed, and you loved seeing him like that.

Then Gwen and Lyla cheered and were all about your date. Jess, on the other side, was a little suspicious. However, she told you everything was gonna be okay. You didn’t understand what she meant.

When you showed the lilac dress, Lyla was sincere in telling you how pretty you looked and how it highlighted the best features of your body.

Everything seemed to be okay.

So you arrived five minutes late to the theater; 7:36 pm. And Miguel wasn’t there yet. A lot of couples were in lane to buy tickets. The popcorns smelled amazing, and you wanted to try the burgers beside the historic building. You were getting impatient, hoping to see the giant silhouette of Miguel.

But he was a busy man, so you waited.

You waited, and waited, and waited, and waited.

8:59 pm; he never came.

…

Gwen Stacy opened your bedroom window only to find the room empty.

Your butterfly lights that decorated your bookshelves are on. Your family is not home, Gwen can assume.

So she hears you; you’re sobbing loudly.

She panics and starts looking for you until she steps into the kitchen, and you punch a big chunk of dough… or something.

“Y/n… What happened?” The blonde asks, hurrying to come to your side and look at your face.

When you turn, your nose looks like a cherry and swollen and red eyes keep squeezing out tears that fall across your face and land on the dough.

“We were worried for you. What’s wrong?” You shake your head, returning to your baking, sniffing. Gwen sighs, taking her mask off.

“Miguel was looking for you like crazy.” The blonde noticed that, as he mentioned Miguel, you sobbed harder again, so he started to worry again.

“He can especially go and fuck himself,” you mumble with a broken voice.

“What? So the date didn’t go well?” When you try to reach for a bag of cocoa powder in the drawers, Gwen gets it with her webs.

“The date didn’t even happen because he stood me up” Your friend is in shock, her mouth is open in disbelief, and her eyes are wide open.

“NO WAY!. But-…No, Something must’ve happened. Why would Miguel do something like that?”

“Because he’s a fucking asshole,” you spit with so much venom. Even Gwen notices it, Something that it’s highly unusual for you.

“If he wasn’t ready, if he didn’t even like me, he could have avoided all of this,” you explain, trying to sound calm. But it’s nearly impossible with how much you’ve been crying.

“There must be a reason, y/n. Miguel seeme-”

“I don’t want to know, Gwen” She respects it, she stays quiet. You tilt your head, planning to sound softer with your friend.

“Look, I want to cry the whole day. So tomorrow, I’ll be able to walk into the HQ like nothing. So from now on… This never happened. Okay, Gwen?” She nods.

She helps you with a chocolate cake and gets at least three smiles from you.

You offer half of the cake for her and Hobie, as you promised to give Peter, Pav, Miles, and Jess a slice too.

But the whole night, you can only think about Miguel.

Why he had to be such a fucking jerk?

…

Miguel is working on a new serum when Gwen stomps in. She makes sure she’s being loud enough to draw their attention.

“You can’t be here,” he says to the girl.

“Why did you stood up, y/n?” That was enough to pull him out of his experiment. Miguel exchanged looks with Gwen before he remembered it.

The fucking date. He never came; he didn’t even let you know what happened.

“Mierda…” he whispers.

“So?…” Gwen asks, reluctant, arms crossed on her chest, demanding an answer.

“Didn’t Jess tell you?” Gwen shook her head, confused.

“A variant of the green goblin tried to make his own super collider. It was a mess…” Until that moment, Gwen noticed a patch on Miguel’s arm. She admits to herself it must’ve been pretty bad to make the great Spider-Man 2099 injured.

“If you didn’t come to say that, I wouldn’t have remembered it. How is she?” He tries to sound even; calmed. But he’s not; he’s stressing, and the embarrassment quickly invades him.

That Saturday, he was getting ready for the date when Ben called. Miguel grew worried about another super collider being created, so he ran back to the HQ.

The fight was very tough; he injured his whole arm, and when he returned home, he was knocked out. And the following day, he forgot about the date entirely. But he didn’t forget you, 'cause he looked for you like crazy.

“Not okay. She thought you stood her up. Which you did, but…”

“I didn’t mean to. I would never purposefully hurt her,” Gwen nods. Knowing she won’t be able to read Miguel’s face.

“Well… tell her, not me. But I warn you if this changes her forever…I’ll blame you forever” Miguel had an idea of Gwen’s words. You only had one true love before, your Harry Osborn, who died in your arms. You were only fifteen and since then… No love for you.

“I’ll fix this, Gwen. I promise…” he assured her.

…

Miguel was taking longer than intended to fix things.

He spent around an hour looking for you in the HQ, only to learn from Jess that you were on a mission with Peter and Hobie.

“Gwen said you stood her up. Why the hell did you do that?” Miguel knew the woman was mad at him. Even when Jess was older than you, she liked you a lot. Everyone did.

“You know what happened. You were there with me.”

“Yeah, but I wasn’t aware it was the same day as the date. You could have let her know when you knew about the anomaly, Miguel.”

“I know, Jess. I know…” he was stressed… a lot. Jess shook her arms in surrender. But she also knew she could help her friend.

“Just talk with her. She might understand… both of you should give it a chance” She was right because the more Miguel thought if it was okay to court you, the more he realized he liked you.

“She’s arriving in ten minutes… be gentle,” he nodded. Looking at his gizmo, he saw you just entered Nueva York and were heading towards the showers.

Slowly, he made his way there.

A long hallway connected the pools and showers for different genders. Miguel found himself walking through it. Many spiders were in the pool, and some greeted him, but Miguel was fixated on seeing you.

A door opened; the ladies showered. You came out with wet hair, sweatpants, a baggy tee, and sandals. Miguel had never seen you without your suit before. Just a picture Peter showed him of an evening you spent with him and Mayday. That day you had a pretty sundress, and your hair was in a cute braid.

However, now…Miguel knew everything was different. Now he has a personal issue with you. One that he caused in the first place.

“Hey…” he called once he was an inch behind you. You turned to face him, only to roll your eyes and walk away towards the exit.

“Please, y/n. We need to talk,” he insisted, gently grabbing your forearm.

You weren’t expecting him to come and find you, but how regretful he was trying to sound enrages you.

“Now you wanna talk?. I’m sorry, but I’m not in the mood to talk” The hostility in your voice takes him aback.

“I just need some minutes, please,” you sigh. You don’t want to be immature but still think it’s unfair.

“Really? I just needed five seconds, Miguel. In five seconds, you could have told me an anomaly came in” he’s embarrassed. Gwen must’ve told you.

“I know you’ve suffered enough to open up again with somebody. But I’ve been there too. And if you weren’t ready or didn’t even like me… you could have avoided having me waiting an hour in that theater like an idiot.”

“But I do like you. And it’s been a while since the last time I’ve felt like this” At that moment, Miguel didn’t know he had chosen the wrong words.

“SHUT UP!” A lot of spiders turn to see you and Miguel. You eye them shortly, slightly embarrassed.

“You’re an asshole, Miguel O’Hara. And if you ever try to play with me again, I’ll leave the spider society and make sure you can never come to my earth again.” You don’t even glance at him. But you want to. You want to forgive him so severely, to ask about the injury in his arm and bake him something. You open a portal with tears in your eyes as you head home.

You won’t. You know the pain of a broken heart, and you won’t go through that again.

And poor Miguel, chooses a woman to try again for love, and he messes everything. But he’s optimistic; he had chosen a woman and was confident it wasn’t the ending. He would try again until you were smiling again.

But you wished having your friends and saving the spider-verse didn’t depend on Miguel being the leader of the spider society. Because you didn’t want to see him again. Like…never.

How does the song goes?…. I love you, Ain’t that worst thing you’ve ever heard?

RRRAAAHHHH, IL P!NOAH SM‼️‼️‼️‼️ Anyways, I’m wondering..

What happens during the earlier episodes, like Jamaica, Yukon, and even Egypt?

PLEASE TELL US WHAT HAPPENS, PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

I think I've already delved into this somewhat, but for the most part the Psycho!Noah AU is canon-compliant (until the point of divergence). So a lot of the plotlines and such that happen throughout Island, Action and World Tour remain unchanged.

There is one key difference, though, in the fact that Noah's regularly toying with the show's audience. So in a lot of the challenges he'll do something absolutely batshit insane in the background- but he's quiet enough to not be noticed by his fellow castmates (save Izzy, or occasionally Owen) because his persona of a 'stoic, bookish nerd' is intentionally uninteresting and unthreatening enough for people to gloss him over.

For example, whilst canon Noah shows visible concern for Ezekiel in the World Tour intro, p!Noah watches him fall and grins, baring fanged amusement directly towards the camera.

Or, in the Yukon episode, when Noah hugs and is immediately rebuffed by Bridgette, he shoots the nearest camera a downright dangerous look- something both eerily blank and drowning in animosity- before motioning to lunge at Bridgette. Of course, Owen's quick to scoop up his little buddy into a heat preserving hug, so Noah's feigned attack doesn't work out, but the threat is there.

He later on clarifies in the confessional that he despises rude people; manners cost nothing, but rudeness might just cost someone their kidneys.

Or in Egypt, when he's left alone with just Izzy and Owen? Your boy plays dress up with his besties. He and Izzy wrap Owen up in the bandages (instead of Izzy herself being the one to 'mummify' herself) which Owen lets happen because he's kind of terrified of his girlfriend and his best friend just that good of a pal. They try to convince Owen to backtrack through the pyramid and scare the others who decided to 'go under', by pretending to be an actual mummy, but Izzy ends up getting too excited by the prospect and running ahead without them.

Instead, Noah and Owen stumble their way through to the other end of the pyramid, encountering mummy Ezekiel on the way. Owen gets spooked by the prospect of a real mummy, but Noah's not scared in the slightest* and even offers to fight it off- to protect Owen, of course. No other reason. (Fighting an actual mummy isn't exactly out there for a show as whacky as Total Drama, and Noah is always ready to throw hands with assumed adversaries.)

Owen, in his fear, runs away before Noah can 'defend his honour', leaving the crazy nerd to trail along in disappointment. Things continue as per canon from there.

(The Egypt change is a little sillier than the others, because p!Noah is primarily concerned with his own entertainment- that's his Top Priority- and he's more interested in playing a fun little prank on the rest of the cast with Izzy than he is using the solitude of the pyramid to torment the audience.)

Then there's smaller changes throughout the other episodes:

In Jamaica Noah's visibly ecstatic when DJ gets hurt on his third run of the course, and the audience can clearly see him holding back laughter when Gwen gets attacked by the electric eels during the diving challenge. He also actually participates in the first challenge, though he fails to uproot any 'treasures'.

In Paris, Noah forgoes the ball-throw trick (though it would've been a backup had his first option failed) by instead growling at the Sasquatch, intimidating it into leaving their team alone. He still dodges the lasers during "Oui, My Friends" and messes up their team's statue, but instead of just giving it extra limbs Noah somehow manages to Frankenstein his creation into something almost eldritch- before Alejandro fixes it.

In Japan, he initially tries to volunteer for the pinball challenge, citing his status as A Gamer as reason for his sudden interest (though it's really because Noah's just as much of a thrill-seeker as Izzy), but the honour goes to Alejandro because the baby panda seems to be inexplicably afraid of Noah. Their commercial has an odd grainy quality to it whenever he speaks in it, and his empty eyes never trail from the camera's lens, but no one on the cast notices.

In New York, he saves his team from an untimely demise by shooting his most deranged smile towards the alligator, though his team are fully unaware of this. Luckily the liability waver Chef had it sign negates Noah from any obligation to reimburse the reptile for the emotional/mental damages. He's still The Baby in the second challenge, that remains unchanged.

In London, he's a lot less abrasive towards his team during the clue hunt. He's also the one who ends up stripping the guard, because he gets bored of him and Owen repeatedly tying in rock-paper-scissors and Tyler's staunchly against it- Noah likes to think of himself as a Polite Young Man, all things considered, so he wasn't gonna make his teammates do something they didn't want to- and they find their first clue faster than in canon. That temporal lead is quickly squandered by Owen slowing down their team in his effort to get Noah to laugh at his jokes. The "eel" comment never happens as, after Tyler volunteers himself for the rack, Noah wastes no time abusing the opportunity to torture someone. Tyler's far too preoccupied to recognise the manic laughter that echoes through the dingy room as Noah's sadistic enjoyment, and Owen is just glad his little buddy is having fun (even if he wasn't the one to make him laugh).

As for earlier seasons... I haven't really thought that far back yet. A lot of the changes listed above were made up off the top of my head, too, so... 😳

But it'd be in the same vein as the differences here; Noah does small concerning things in the background of shots that don't really effect how the rest of the episodes play out, but are just enough for the greater audience to notice and sweat over.

I imagine, in-universe, there's probably compilation clips of "Noah Going Feral In The Background" or "Top 10 Moments Where Total Drama Contestants Almost Fell Prey To Noah", which he and his friends would watch post-season during their sleepovers to laugh at. Thankfully, their fellow cast members are kind of out of touch with the fanbase- save for Sierra, but she's already been discussed.

*I was gonna clarify why p!Noah isn't scared here when canon Noah is, but this posts already kind of long and the explanation is very wordy & science-heavy so... maybe in another 'lore' drop?

#in summary; p!noah's a creepy cryptid that haunts the background of the show #p!noah quickly became the most popular au on this blog apparently #yes i AM pulling au content out of my ass because ja3 sent me a cute reaction image. what about it?#and also because they asked very politely AND because they drew fanart for the AU but MOSTLY because of the reaction image #total drama #psycho!noah au #silly ideas #replies

Late on the post, I am now edentulous in the far back and had a packed week because of it. Here we go:

Consistently good decision maker, Samama Khalid, here to make another important decision based on what he feels is happening. But before that, a case file!

I. Liked. This story.

It really reminds me plot-wise of a Man Called Ove, if it careened off the rails and became a horror.

I don’t super love the prose here as much as in other cases—mostly a personal preference, it uses repetition in a way that felt too hand-of-the-author to me. Not as egregious as the repetition in The Blade Itself’s prose, though.

The initial diary entries did a great job of setting up the scene and the characters, while also making me wonder when the other shoe would drop. And it did!

The bridge was definitely where I realized this cute marriage was about to get fucked up. But my “don’t go in there” moment was them walking down below the bridge. For some reason that description got me, probably because… WATER. WATER IS BELOW THE BRIDGE (another water-based spook, actually?)

Even their bumbling tourist attitude in getting into the lock museum was great. As was Viola’s cognitive dissonance as she describes and redescribes what happened, not quite wanting to admit that she left her husband to die.

And uh. Locke darling can you tell me where exactly that crack in the wall you unlocked was? Because I’ll bet £100 that I know where it was and the street name started with a Hill and ended in Top. Also who has the ivory key now.

But ~paraphrasing~ “How horrible to be locked together for fifty years?” “I abandoned him to save myself”? Chester u good?

Also love the flavor of Chester just starting to talk on his own while Gwen is alone in the office. I’m sure this is not setup for the finale in anyway and will in fact work out fine and not make Gwen feel any emotions about any of her previous actions!

It’s on the train 🥲 oh god, the helplessness Alice must be feeling right now. I really want to see what she does. Takes the next train to a crime scene? Takes an uber and arrives at Hilltop first? Some other third option? I have a bad feeling the archivist might statement Celia to death in the meantime.

Very much looking forward to the season finale. I think it’s fun how the archivist has ended up being the initial threat of TMAGP, considering how much of a foil Archives Jon was to Jane Prentiss by the end of TMA.

I saw your peni and Gwen art from a while ago and it's absolutely adorable. And I was wondering if you had any headcanons for the two of them ?? I don't see people talking about them much

Aw hey glad you liked that art! I really wanna make some more comics with spiderverse characters soon. And I just love Gwen and Peni as characters and what their dynamic could be like.

That being said, you've REALLY come to the right place for some headcanons for these two goobers! You've done my heart good with this ask ^_^

Peni had been a part of the society longer than Gwen, but she hadn't remained in touch with any of the OG spider-gang. I wanna read up on Peni's comics one of these days so I can learn more, but I do think Peni had a nasty canon event happen in the past year before Gwen joined HQ. Peni didn't want to talk to anyone, but then one day was at HQ after dark for whatever reason (maybe she just dropped off a successfully captured anomaly). Since Gwen apparently lived at HQ, she was up and find Peni curled up silently crying. Gwen didn't know what to say, so she just started carding her fingers lightly through Peni's hair. Peni let out a little gasp and then leaned into the touch without ever looking at Gwen in the eye. Neither of them said a word. They just sat there. Gwen offered to let Peni sleepover in her HQ dorm room, but Peni declined. Peni avoided Gwen even more after that night. Idk I don't think any of the spider gang from the first film really kept in touch in the past year. I'm sure that changes after ATSV though.

Now after BTSV however, Peni would really open up about everything. And Gwen's now learned a thing or two about being moral support. Peni's (jesus the typos) constantly showing up at Gwen's window at ungodly hours, just an absolute bawling mess, the poor thing. All Gwen has to do is open her arms out wordlessly and Peni just hides her face in Gwen's abdomen and grips her shirt and everything. Gwen says very little, just coos and a bunch of quiet little "it's okay"'s. Gwen's way of comforting people is like she's trying to calm a spooked cat. This is all new for her, but she doesn't seem to realize that she's kinda a natural lol. This time, when Gwen offers to let Peni sleepover for the night, Peni doesn't hesitate.

Gwen spoils Peni rotten lol. Whenever higher authority complains about Peni's antics, or tells on her to Gwen, she'll ALWAYS side with Peni. Miguel could go to Gwen complaining that her little spitfire is hacking into the watches to send unflattering pictures of him to the entire society and Gwen will go "omg she's literally just a bby why can't you just leave her alone."

They do watchathons of bad movies late at night to make fun of them like ya do with ya homies.

Gwen CONSTANTLY forgets that Peni is 15. Like she doesn't seriously think she's a toddler, but she lets the super short anime girl look fool her into thinking she's 12 or something. So like if Gwen sees Peni maneuvering a vehicle, she freaks out for a minute before she remembers, or if Peni is about to a watch a PG-13 movie and Gwen will FLAIL for a hot second.

Gwen hands down a lot of her old clothes that don't fit her anymore to Peni.

Gwen doesn't understand any of Peni's smart sciencey talk, they both know it, but Gwen gives Peni's ramblings her full undivided attention anyway.

(I actually posted this one recently) Sometimes Peni will just walk up to Gwen and stretch her arms out, to signal that she wants Gwen to deadlift carry her by her pits like she's a cat. When Gwen does it, Peni just lets her head hang back and her body go limp like she's dead or smth. Gwen just holds her out like that and goes about her day like normal for half an hour.

they both share an obsession with Pokémon. They make fan covers of the music together.

Thank you for the ask! I love these two sibs ^U^

MONTHLY MEDIA: July 2024

I read a lot more than I was expecting this month but I ain't complaining. Here's how I spent the month of July!

……….FILM……….

Evil Dead II (1987) Didn't love Evil Dead (not that it's not good, I just get too spooked by straight horror) but had no idea that this would be what it is. Puppets and stop motion! Looney Tune antics! Magic with rules! This is my kinda movie and I'm baffled the modern films in the franchise don't try for this sort of energy.

Poor Things (2003) It took a while for me to settle into this, but around the time Dafoe's Godwin explains Bella's condition, I was all in. It's a dreamlike movie with dreamlike logic so despite some of the discourse I tried not to take too much of it literally. Beautiful and far funnier than I expected.

……….TELEVISION……….

Columbo (Episode 1.04 to 1.07) Gosh I love the era of television where each episode was self-contained. Episode 7 features Columbo smoking in a doctor's office and I was not at all expecting him to comment on the dangers of tobacco, but he did! I notice this first season only had a handful of episodes with the classic "oh one more thing" schtick so I'm curious if that pops up more in later seasons.

Scavenger's Reign (Episode 1.01 to 1.12) This is a show where I sit down, turn it on, and while the beautiful opening credits play, think, "I wonder what horrifying imagery is gonna f*** me up this episode?" The animation and design are sooooooo good that it made up for the occasionally baffling writing. Please go watch it so a second season can get greenlit.

Bridgerton (Episode 3.05 to 3.08) I missed a few eps there in the middle but it all worked. That final party, and all that went with it (the speech, the bugs, the reveal of who paid for it) was 10/10. Good stuff.

……….YOUTUBE……….

Yoko and The Beatles by Lindsay Ellis Yoko Ono didn't break up the Beatles. And while this video essay expands on the factors that DID split up the band, it's also a really great dive into the weight of fame and the weight of fame on women. VIDEO

Was starting a product business a mistake? by Simone Giertz An honest and detailed insight into the dream vs. reality of small business and internet fame. Looks like it's going to be a full series and I'm looking forward to more. VIDEO

……….READING……….

N or M by Agatha Christie (Complete) Spy Thriller set during the Second World War? With a husband/wife spy duo? Oh heck yeah. Sometimes I find the clues to be a little convoluted/unnecessarily obscure but this one struck a great balance of visible but easily forgettable.

The Knight of the Swords by Michael Moorcock (Complete) Having first read the comic adaptation (penciled by Mike Mignola!) I now realize some of my issues (pacing, understanding the abstract) work better in novel form. An elevated pulp adventure that has some great ironic twists.

Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula or The Adventure of the Sanguinary Count by Loren D. Estleman (Complete) Thrift find purchased based on the premise alone. Exactly what you'd expect but not much beyond that. It's at its best when you get Dracula directly interacting with Holmes and/or Watson.

Spider-Verse by Dan Slott, Christos N. Gage, Mike Costa, Dennis Hopeless, and many many more (Complete) Really enjoyed reading this but am baffled by its production. Why the issues aren't collected in chronological order, I'll never know. I know the book is over ten years old now but the writing (especially all of the Spider-Women) really stands out as...not great. All but the Superior Spider-Man essentially sound the same (perhaps the point?) but Gwen and Jess and Cindy mostly talk about things like body image and pheromones and it's glaring. I'm curious what I'll think upon a second readthrough (reading in order, and after the first wave of nostalgia has completely rinsed off) but I definitely think this story walked so the movies could break the speed of sound.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe! by Ryan North and Erica Henderson (Complete) North's writing and Henderson's artwork are the perfect blend for such a bright and enthusiastic character. Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is such a great series (which I gotta go back and finish) and this is an equally great introduction to the character.

Superior Foes of Spider-Man Vol 1 by by Nick Spencer, Marcos Martin, and Steve Leiber (Complete) I was really excited for this series (the premise! the cover art!) but the pacing, humour, and art just didn't connect. Honestly really bummed that I didn't like this more.

……….AUDIO……….

3D6 Down the Line (Podcast) A nice change of pace from the modern D&D games I play in. They use Old School Essentials for their system (more akin to 2nd Edition D&D) and play with a mindset similar to the 70s style of play (treasure for experience, everything is lethal). I'm still having trouble distinguishing some of the voices from each other, but it's a great listen.

……….GAMING……….

Oz: A Fantasy Role-Playing Setting (Andrews McMeel Publishing) Tuesday crew watched a peaceful inauguration and gained notoriety for saving a neighbourhood from roaming monsters (you can read all about it here!) and the Mof1 crew is dabbling in dangerous contracts with dangerous people (all for a cap that controls the winged monkeys).

And that's it. See you in August!

Merlin fanfictions I would love to write (but I won't because I'm too lazy) 2

I love fics where Arthur hides the fact he knows about Merlin's magic because he wants him to trust him but I would find it even better if Arthur genuinely thought Merlin knew he knows and just doesn't want to talk about it (maybe he saw Merlin use it while asleep and didn't realise Merlin was asleep ? Maybe Merlin told him while he was drunk ? Maybe he believed Merlin when he told everyone he had saved Gwen's father ?)

Morgana telling Arthur about how she always had magic but needed some time to realise it : Arthur could find out about Merlin's magic and think Merlin is like Morgana and doesn't realise he has magic (I just love the idea of Arthur awkwardly explaining to Merlin the fact that he has magic but that it is completely fine, trying not to spook him)

Arthur adopting a child with magic he was supposed to arrest and kill and raising them with Merlin's help

Arthur meeting and becoming with Kilgharrah as a child : Kilgharrah could tell Arthur about magic and the horrible things Uther did. Maybe Arthur could decide to learn healing magic and be less loyal to his father ?

hello i have Some Thoughts about the newest magp episode

spoilers under the cut 👁️

statement was good :). didn’t give me the same spooks as the others so far but horror is so personal there’s gonna be some that don’t sit with you

i will only give up the tma fear system if jonathan sims himself pries it from my cold dead hands so for this one i feel like it was a blend of like

spiral lonely flesh stranger (maybe some vast)

also girl. that is NOT how u write an essay lmao. she rly was like ☺️ i don’t have any research 😌 but (tells the most horrifying thing that has happened in her life) 😊 i think this will be valuable to study

another norris episode-nothing specifically “martin” abt this one for the theory that they put em in the puter

oh MAN they are not shying away from TMA in this one. gerard keay is a PAINTER who lives with his GRANDMA GERTRUDE ROBINSON whom he refers to as GG! Celia is on a PODCAST with someone named GEORGIE! speaking of celia-alternate realities? time travel? i’m picking up what they are putting down i believe

sam is so in love with celia it’s sickening. rusty quill and starkid rly know how to get me invested in straight ppl

also gwen and alice had BETTER kiss one of these days. like at first i wasn’t rly feeling it. but you can only hate someone so much before it’s just a passionate relationship (eg: batman and joker)

also noooo colin 😔 10£ say he’s trapped in his flat by worms (i love tma season one with all my heart)

also klaus is an anagram for ‘lukas’ and since gerry keay is living with gertrude in london im not taking ANY chances with this show. if peter lukas shows up not only will i close the tab i will delete my bookmark out of spite and have to rewatch the entire series again for the sole purpose of being able to skip all the parts where he is amentioned or alive

also i love the sound design in this - rly captures the feeling that we are listening to something we are not supposed to. like..security cameras and phones have replaced tape recorders and that makes it feel a lot scarier bc i do not have a tape recorder but i am surrounded by tech 24/7

so excited to see where this goes, especially w what we know from the arg

When it talks to you like you don't belong Ch. 2

on A03

Previous Episode | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Summary:

With a venomized Wade stuck with a multiversal interloper, the next goal is to find the ultimate host: Spider-Man. But what if there is no Spider-Man? Merely...Peter Parker. In a multi-verse of choices, what actually matters? Who's left standing when one of those big moments goes by?

Deadpool/Wolverine/Venom with special guest: Peter Parker!

Other important characters: Gwen Stacey, Morph/Kevin Sidney (mention)

Explicit

Words: ~7k

Chapter 2/3 in series

Content: possession, alien invasion multiverse shit, deep cut Venom lore because I'm an Advanced Comic Reader, anal sex, oral sex, dubious sexual consent, extensive talk of death

"So you have a Peter Parker."

"I guess? If Logie says we do. I never bothered to check."

"But you don't have a Spider-Man."

"Unfortunately.

"But you…know…about Spider-Man. Can you put that all together for me?"

"Oh, it's really stupid. You're going to hate it." Wade gave Venom's tiny little head a pat. They were currently manifesting as a little tadpole creature on Wade's forearm at Logan's insistence.

It was bad enough that another mind was living in Wade's brain. He could barely manage his own consciousness. He didn't need a whole-ass alien being living inside him. If Venom ever overtook him completely they'd all be fucked. Symbiotes were already almost indestructible, but if you threatened their current or preferred host with significant enough bodily harm, they'd at least pull back to heal. What would they be capable of if their host could auto-heal? What leverage was left? He was putting a lot of trust in Venom not being a totally bad dude.

Logan had strongly requested that Venom remain manifested. It didn't really do anything, necessarily, to modulate their power, but having the enemy visible made him feel better. He knocked before leading Wade into Hank's lab.

"Ro, Scott. Are you still here?"

"Well, you walked off with a flamethrower, I'm not--holy shit." Scott had stood with the intent to be indignant then all the fight fell out of him. Storm was also lifting from her stool, moving up slowly to the projection from Wade's arms. Hank stayed back observing from a distance, stuck with a little with actual fear. Whatever he'd seen under the microscope must have spooked him.

"Ah," Storm raised back to her full height but kept her eyes on the symbiote. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Storm."

"Likewise. I'm Venom, for lack of a better name."

"Very polite," Storm noted.

"I'm super aware of the fact that you can zap me to death, so I'd prefer to stay on your good side in my current condition."

"Oh, I think I might like this alien. They're smart." Storm nodded her approval.

"What do you mean, 'current condition.'" Scott was inching closer. Venom growled and clicked.

"I'm not full strength. Multiverse travel takes it out of you and my current host isn't exactly…stable." Venom tilted up at Wade with a squint of their eyes.

"Sorry for the cancer/ADHD double-hit combo, little buddy." Wade patted them again.

"May I also touch you?" Storm asked.

"Uh, sure?" Venom moved their prominence up Wade's arm to his shoulder to allow Storm better access. Like petting a bird, she ran two fingers over the top of the symbiote's head. "Fascinating texture. Thank you."

"No problem."

"I'm having a super hard time processing all this," Scott said quietly.

"Yeah, it takes a minute." Logan half-threw down the flamethrower. "How do I get in contact with Peter Parker?"

"I…who?" The lines between Scott's eyebrows furrowed deeper.

"Fucking…" Logan dropped into the stool that hadn't moved from before. "My timeline, we've got a guy named Spider-Man…he's a...spider…man. And according to Wade--"

"--there's a few hot little numbers copying me in at least a few other timelines. Got a glimpse of one at Avengers headquarters who was way too young, so I only looked respectfully at the potential."

"The…Avengers?" Storm asked.

"Doesn't matter." Logan waved her off, then immediately gestured an apology for dismissing her. "His real name is Peter Parker. And when I was dragged over to this timeline, I looked up some of the bigger players from mine. I don't know why he never became Spider-Man, but your Peter Parker is the big fancy CEO of a big fancy aerospace and bio-med company."

"Wait, Dr. Parker? Of Parker Industries?" Hank finally crawled down from his chair. "We've made a casual acquaintance."

"So you can contact him?" Logan asked.

"I could maybe get a hold of a secretary possibly…" Hank demurred.

"You're telling me some guy is walking around with super powers and you guys never contacted him? You never found out and tracked him down?" Logan clicked the heels of his boots on the tiled floor.

"If he never became Spider-Guy, maybe he never got powers?" Scott said.

"Unlikely," Venom said slowly. Every eye snapped to them. "All the versions of you from my reality have roughly the same powers. Wade, can I show you something really quick in your mind?"

"Uhhhh. Sure." Wade stared forward for half a moment, then snapped back. "Oh, yeah, if that's your Spider-Man, that's the same suit I saw coming out of the tower. Only yours has a fantastic ass. What the fuck?"

"Oh, it's immaculate."

"Can we not?" Logan snapped. It was one thing when Wade vaguely commented on real-life attractive bodies. That was something they could at least both enjoy then fuck it out later. The image of some inter-dimensional ass imprinted as an image in Wade's brain felt…different. Weird and different.

Wade pouted at him, and Venom made an eyerolling motion with their eyespots.

"If you guys can't get a hold of him, we'll do it the old-fashioned way." Logan got up from his stool. Time to stalk a CEO.

#####

It's really nice through here. We didn't come upstate very often when we lived in New York.

Oh, yeah, I really like the sort of tree thing they've got going. Yet you're still in civilization. There's this IHOP we stop at sometimes going into or coming back from the city.

Which, by the way, did I feed you enough this morning? For breakfast? Considering there were no brains on the menu…

That's sweet of you to ask, honey. Enough cheese and chocolate, and I'll be fine.

Oh good. Good. I don't think I can get away with eating that kind of head.

"Wade, you've been quiet. I get nervous when you're quiet." Logan reached across the console to squeeze his thigh. Before getting on the road, the symbiote had dolled him up in jeans and a t-shirt. They weren't like regular clothes, though. Everything he touched or touched him had a thick barrier around it. Even Logan's fingers creeping up to his no-no bits felt distant.

Yet you're always telling me to shut up.

Fucking hypocrite. You don't have to put up with that.

I keep forgetting you can hear my inner monologue.

Would you like me to not respond when you're talking to yourself? It's harder to tell the difference with you, not gonna lie.

No, it's fine. I'll just need to get used to it.

"Wade?"

"Talking to the alien in my brain, jelly bean." Wade rested his hand on top of Logan's.

"Anything new and exciting to share?" Logan asked.

"Just talking about the scenery. Also, Venom says you should use more lotion. Your hands are dry as a…uhm…."

Devil Dinosaur's ballsack?

"Devil Dinosaur's ballsack," Wade finished.

"You don't complain when they're inside you," Logan retorted.

I knew he was hornier than he let on.

Right? He hides it well.

hmmm…

Can you tell me more about Kevin Sidney? This Morph guy?

He's probably different on my world than wherever this Wolverine's from.

Yeah, but…

If you're trying to torture yourself…

No! I'm just…curious…He doesn't talk about his timeline. Just want a hint of something to work from, and he seemed really…something…about this Kevin guy when you mentioned him.

The symbiote hesitated with a full-body hum, thinking.

We weren't best friends or anything, so I saw a lot of this from a distance. I was back in New York when they got hitched, though, and Wolverine just…

Some images flashed in Wade's brain, but they didn't make any sense. Venom reorganized them.

It was a year or two before M-Day. You guys didn't have that, I think. We were kind of back on our villain shit, for a bit, but we never really had major beef with the X-Men. Still, he came and found us in our little crack-den hovel apartment a few days ahead of time. And he told us that if we kept our fellow shitheel elements at bay on his wedding day, he'd throw some heads my way.

Did you?

Well, he also threatened to incinerate me, so yeah. But also…

Venom did the parasite equivalent of staring out the window a moment.

Eddie convinced me. Showed me what marriage was like, and it seemed interesting. I was neutral about the guy, and he'd just given me free reign to get a little bitey. So I might have done a few circuits through the woods around the X-Mansion. Beat the fuck out of Sabretooth. That was fun. You ever fought that guy?

Yeah! Guy's an asshole.

Right? Anyway…I peeked into their wedding reception. Wolverine and Morph seemed happy. Made Eddie sad, though. My takeaway is that marriage is complicated.

Yeah…yeah it is.

Not that I've been married, but like…you know.

Hm….oh…Who's Vanessa? Every time you think of her you skate off it, but you just thought of her again.

Wait, I did?

Ah, you don't realize you do it. I get it. If you don't want to talk about her, that's fine.

No, I just…I don't know what I'd say. She said I was "lost" and "unfocused" and left me. She was willing to stick with me through cancer, but maybe that's because she saw an end date.

You're mad about it.

" This many years later? Yeah, I'm kinda pissed." The words emerged out loud. Logan jumped out of his seat next to him.

"Sorry, I was talking to Venom," Wade said.

"This whole time? That's…I've never seen that before." Logan's hand was still on his thigh, and it squeezed in a few small pulses.

"Whadaya mean?"

"All the others walked around talking to themselves."

The others were shit at internal narrative reflection. You're extremely good. I was able to figure out how to talk to you quickly.

"Apparently my constant inner monologue makes me an alien-talking savant." Wade tapped his fingers on the top of Logan's hand. "We were talking about Vanessa."

"Oh." Logan shifted uneasily. "We haven't seen her in a minute, have we?"

"Yeah, kind of on purpose. At first, it was because it kinda stung, still. The more I sit on it, though, the more I get mad about it, you know? If she broke up with me from the cancer? Totally get it. I wanted her to. I left her, even. If she never took me back after the shit with Frances. Yeah, that would make sense. If after the break-in at our apartment she wanted to break up because she was afraid for her life being with me, I wouldn't even be mad about that. That's so fucking logical.

"But no. She just…fell out of love with me then blamed me for it. She outgrew me but never gave me the chance to catch up."

"I never knew that's how you felt," Logan said. "I'm sorry."

"Water under the bridge. Like what? I'm supposed to complain about an ex when I've got a boyfriend who blows by back out in new, unfathomable ways?" Wade squeezed Logan's hand. "And I guess is my soul mate and stuff."

"We're not doing the soul mate thing, again."

"You don't want to do a flashback episode? Give the alien a little clip show of our lives together so far?"

You don't need to do that. I already made my own from your memories. There is…just…so much dick in here.

Haha…yeah….

There's a surprising amount of Wolverine in here, too.

He's my boyfriend and my lifelong crush…

No I mean his…life essence. Like when I switch hosts, I take a little of them with me, and a little of me is left behind in them.

Can that be transferred via…fluids.

Ew and no. It's more…existential than that.

Well we did kind of atomize together one time…

Ah that might be it. It's given you a strong connection.

Oh…is it possible…

You're about to ask me a question that I don't have an answer to. Thinking about it is gonna fuck you up. Don't.

Okay, Mx. Alien intelligence from beyond the galaxy, god.

I'm gonna put you to sleep.

Wha-?

A voice ripped from his throat. It mostly sounded like him, but he wasn't the one forming the words.

"Wolverine. Wade's brain is overheating. I'm going to put him to sleep."

"Ah…okay." Logan's hand dug into Wade's thigh.

"Only a thirty to forty-five minute nap, then he'll wake on his own. If you need him before that, just ask. I can hear you. Please don't stab us. He might be into it, but I'm not."

"Oh…okay. Yeah. I'm amenable to that."

"Alright."

Wade felt his head flop over gently until his head leaned against the window. Then he was out.

#####

Logan sat in the parking lot of the Baxter building thinking. Wade should be waking up any sec-

"Jesus," he yawned as he woke up. "I haven't slept like that since I was in the single digits. Not a single nightmare. Come to think of it, I don't remember any last night, either."

"Because I ate them."

They both jumped as Venom manifested on Wade's shoulder. They hinged to look around in all directions through the windows and skylight.

"I can sense him," they said.

"Yeah, he's probably up on that top floor doing CEO shit," Logan replied. "Thinking about how to do this."

"I assumed we'd be walking in, kicking ass, and taking names etc etc etc." Wade cracked his knuckles.

"I like Peter," Logan said gently. "Well, the version I know. He's a genuinely good guy. It's actually extremely fucking frustrating. We're not politely getting past any of his secretaries or security, and I don't want to do it impolitely. So I'm thinking."

"We should go to his house, instead," Venom said. "Too many other people here. Too much security. He never thinks to secure his house, though."

"You need to stop saying such disconcerting shit," Wade said.

"I have a lot of experience stalking this specific dude. He's a creature of habit. Also I need him alive, right now. So…"

"Well we don't have his address--" Logan started.

"Take me inside, and follow Wade's lead."

Wade's body jerked as Venom changed his outfit to a suit and tie, then pulled him out of the car. His first few weird steps had evened out smoothly by the time they made it to the front door. There was a sort of swagger in Wade's step that was different from his usual one. Normally, out of his red suit, he tended to keep his head down, tucked in a hood, avoiding eye contact, trying to reduce his visibility despite his size. With the symbiote inside, he was forward and tall, bringing his hands to the front of his suit jacket to make sure the seams laid straight with a sense of purpose.

Logan stayed back a few feet as Logan rolled up to the main reception.

"Hello, I'm Cullen Bunn here for Miguel O'Hara. Should be expecting me."

Whatever the front desk secretary was about to say, she froze stiff. A black tendril had dripped down from the edge of Wade's suit, over the counter, and down into her hands. She rolled away stiffly and typed furiously into the computer, staring at the screen for a few moments. Her body snapped as the tendril recoiled, and she refocused on Wade.

"Oh, apologies, I just got the text message that he wants to meet off-campus. Sorry for bothering you."

She barely had time to process the interaction before Wade had turned from the counter and was walking confidently across the lobby and out the door. Logan caught up as they swung through the revolving door.

"What the fuck was that?"

"Venom looked up his address in the employee directory. Now I have it in my memory. I can put it in the GPS." Wade shook his hands, and his stride started easing off, Venom giving some of the control back. "Almost fucked up. We don't have a Miguel O'Hara, apparently."

"Expected it to be bigger, honestly," Wade said. "Maybe it's just the guest house."

"We were able to get through the gate behind that other car, though," Venom pointed out from his resting spot on the dashboard. "What did I say about security?"

Logan had found a place to park the car in a cul-du-sac slightly across the way from Peter's house. It was getting on into the evening, and he wasn't home, yet.

"Man's got a terrible work-life balance," Logan murmured. "Oh, huh…"

The front door had opened, a woman's silhouette appearing for half a moment before the door closed again.

"Mary Jane?" Venom hissed.

"In my timeline, they're divorced as fuck, and it was not pretty." Logan tapped the steering wheel.

"In mine," Venom said, "Peter made a deal with Mephisto that they were never married to begin with in exchange for resurrecting his aunt and everyone forgetting his identity after he revealed it on live television."

"What the absolute fuck does all that mean?" Wade asked.

"Wait, but you retained the memories?" Logan asked in turn.

"Peter vented to Flash about it. Then I got it from Flash's brain when we bonded." Venom slithered back up inside Wade's chest.

"Can't decide whether multiverse shit, magic shit, or alien shit is worse," Logan sighed.

"Why can't it all just be mutants and mutates," Wade agreed. "Way more straightforward and not confusing and full of clones and time-travel at all."

A woman wrapped her knuckles on the window. This wasn't Mary Jane. Not the one he had met. It was a woman with long blond hair pulled up to the nape of her neck. Logan rolled the window down.

"Hey, so you've been out here, what an hour and a half? And haven't come in to kidnap me and the kids or tie us up or anything. So I'm assuming you're here for Peter, specifically, but you need to surprise him for some reason. So are you conscientious bad guys or good guys with ever so slightly nefarious but overall good intentions?"

"The second one mostly," Wade replied across Logan's chest.

"So I can invite you in and you'll be super cool and not traumatize my children or bust my house up?"

"That would be very kind of you, Mrs. Parker," Logan said. He was nothing if not fucking polite, at least.

She chuffed at him.

"Gwen Stacey-Parker, and I'll ask you to use the whole double-barrel, please."

"Yes of course."

"Now can you tell me who you are?" she asked as she led them up to the front door and into the foyer.

"Logan Howlett, ma'am, and this is Wade Wilson." He wouldn't normally speak for Wade, but he was tense in his gut. On a good day, there was only a seventy percent chance Wade would actually behave himself. In his current state, he didn't know how drastically the probability for social disaster had changed. Better to keep things pinned tighter.

"Have any goofy codenames? Sorry for presuming but you give off superpowered vibes." Her messy bun did a little sway as she turned over her shoulder at them. "Wait no. That defeats the purpose if you tell me, doesn't it? Nevermind. We are a pro-mutant house, though. So…"

She had brought them through the foyer, past a glass-door office, a mother-in-law suite off to the right, to a formal dining room. A large kitchen, living room, and a small informal dining were beyond. A girl and a boy, maybe eleven and six, were serving themselves from a huge tray of lasagna. Gwen had dipped into the kitchen behind them and returned with plates.

"Already put Peter's in the microwave, so there's plenty to go around." She handed them the plates then moved around to the head of the table. "May, Bengy, this is Mr. Howlett and Mr. Wade. They're friends of daddy, and they're going to join us for dinner until he gets home. Which he should, soon." She sat down. "Despite all appearances to the contrary, he doesn't usually come home this late. West coast video meeting probably went long."

She gestured to the empty chairs at the end of the table.

"Seriously. Sit. You're making me nervous."

"Here, have some garlic bread." May slid them the serving platter. Logan found himself still hesitating, but Wade broke the tension by digging into the glass tray before dropping down next to Bengy.

"Hey can you pass me the sprinkle cheese, little man?" Wade gestured to the green canister of powdered parmesan.

"Yeah!" Bengy said. He then spat webbing from the inside of his wrist, circling the canister, then flung it across the table. Wade caught it. Gwen visibly tensed at the end of the table.

"That's pretty good aim, little man, but you're stronger than you think you are. Gotta pull it back a little."

Bengy nodded enthusiastically.

Logan finally had a plate and sat down near May, trying to keep track of everything that was happening. His Spider-Man didn't have kids. It was a whole horrifically traumatic thing that had spread in gossip through the X-Men and other groups of super-powered people. Seeing this possible reality felt like a betrayal to the man he had known.

"Little early to be developing mutant powers. Have you contacted the school?" Logan tried to keep his voice as neutral as possible. Not like he had any idea how to actually raise a kid of his own. He'd been a drunk uncle figure at best. Gwen ran her fingers through Bengy's hair.

"We're doing okay, so far. He knows not to use his power at school or in public. We'll readdress it when he's older. Rather leave the space for kids who really need it."

"That's fair," Logan replied. "Wade and I help train kids there. How to use their powers without hurting themselves and each other."

"I'm the punishment," Wade said. "Break a rule and you have to fight me one v one."

"He's joking," Logan insisted, knowing that he kind of wasn't. Sometimes the threat of extreme violence was the only thing that worked on a churlish seventeen year old mutant.

"So you guys are mutants?" May asked, only half attending to her lasagna.

"May…" Gwen hissed.

"I mean, I opened the conversation," Logan said. He turned to May, trying to figure out how to be gentle. "Yes, but it's generally rude to just…ask that." She rolled her eyes so perfectly it was cliche.

"Is it rude to ask what your powers are?" She finally took an actual bite of her food.

"We both have super healing. But I also have…uh…claws…and Wade is extra fast and strong." Logan ran the words through his head, trying to find the places a kid might pick that apart and ask questions.

"I mean, I'm not technically a mutant," Wade waffled.

"Let's not over complicate it," Logan replied.

"Claws?" Bengy asked with a squeak of interest.

"Uhm…" Logan glanced at Gwen, and she nodded with a shrug. He lifted a hand and flashed his claws, flicking them out slower than usual.

"Holy shit, that's cool," May said.

"Language," Gwen admonished.

"If I don't end up with powers after Dad and Bengy…" May grumbled.

"May!" And this was sharper. A bark on the edge of doling out punishment. The table ricocheted with the silence it created.

The front door opened with a vocal alert from the security system.

"Sorry. West coast meeting went long." Peter's voice was quick and familiar. It was the thing he knew best, after all. Certainly not his face.

"Your dinner's in the microwave, but we've got some guests," Gwen called to him.

Peter appeared in the archway of the formal dining, jacket halfway down his arms. When his eyes landed on Logan they lifted in recognition. So this Logan had met this Peter at least once. Peter sighed.

"You people never leave 'til you say your peace, so let's get this over with. We can talk in my office.

#####

i love him i love him i love him

Sounds like me when I'm getting that good dicking down.

Again, ew.

But also, it's still a part of me. I can't shake him even after all this time. Looking at him makes it worse.

He's hot as fuck. I don't blame you.

That's not…nevermind. You physically can't understand.

Peter rearranged the chairs in the front room with glass doors so that they sat in a triangle. The far wall was mostly built-in bookcases and filled with complex science texts. The computer setup was set into "standing desk" mode, but it was also on wheels. That too, he moved out of the way. His suit jacket went over his desk chair and his sleeves rolled up to reveal lean muscle and a fit form.

I would have the hugest crush on this man if I knew he existed.

When porno mags were still a thing, at least three of them offered him a spread.

I can see it.

"So what do you gentlemen want, exactly?" He gestured to the chairs. "And don't take this the wrong way…but I sort of thought you were dead, Wolverine."

"Oh! Can I explain it!" Wade clapped his hands rapidly.

"You were there for all it," Logan acquiesced.

Wade tried to start with being kidnapped by the TVA until he realized he had to go all the way back to Cable for everything to make sense. Peter listened quietly, for his part. And when he glanced sideways at Logan, he too was rapt with attention. For whatever Logan hadn't told him about his timeline, Wade hadn't really volunteered certain details either. They had just never seemed relevant. Maybe they should have come up before this.

"So there are different versions of me on different timelines, and on those I actually use my powers?" Peter leaned in, confounded and surprised, elbows on his knees.

"Basically," Wade said. "Why aren't you, though? What's your deal?" Wade reached over and poked him in the shoulder.

Peter leaned back, crossing his arms over his sexy sexy chest.

"I was fifteen. Got bit by a…this is going to sound so stupid…"

"Radioactive spider," Wade and Logan said in unison.

"Oh," Peter said. "Right. I guess in the grand scheme of things…Anyway. Wake up with these powers, and I immediately thought 'oh shit, I'm a mutant. These are my mutant powers.' Didn't want to wait for Charles Xavier to show up, so I just called the school. They said they couldn't 'read' me, so I wasn't a mutant. Don't know how that works."

"It's called Cerebro," Wade said knowingly. "It's wiiiiildd."

"Of course." Peter rolled his eyes, and he looked exactly like his daughter. "Anyway, I was totally lost, right? Then I heard about a group for teens with powers that met in secret. I snuck out. Got there and the vibes were…bad…real bad. Think it was a Magneto recruiting ground.

"In the meantime, my Uncle Ben realized I was gone and saw where I had written the address on a sticky note. So he drives over into the Bronx from Queens to find me.

"I come out of this old warehouse where this meeting happened, and I'm just trying to make it to the bus. When suddenly this guy is barreling down the sidewalk at me with someone's purse. And they always tell you to just let it go, you know? Your life's not worth a wallet. But I was just so mad about everything. About the conversation with Xavier. About all these screwed up changes that I didn't know what to do with. And no one wants to help me. So I'm like 'let me take matters into my own hands.' I'm so confident that I could win any fight I started, at this point.

"So I shoulder-check this guy. Try to pick a fight on purpose. I start yelling at him, pushing him. I don't even know what I was saying, I was so pissed. That of course escalates everything, and he whips out a gun.

"And I hear my Uncle Ben. Calling out. Trying to save me. The guy turns, and I just…I just decked him. Hard. But not before he gets a shot off. Wings Ben in the shoulder."

Peter dropped his arms, shifting to rest his cheek on his palm.

"My Uncle Ben, the man who was basically my dad, almost died because I couldn't control my anger or my powers. I was…cocky.

"And when I was sitting with him in the hospital waiting for Aunt May to show up, all I could think was that I did that. And if I didn't get my shit together, this might happen again. That I needed to figure out how to control my powers and understand what they did.

"A few years later I get a call about being on a super-powered mutant team. But I'm already in college. I'm dating Gwen, we're both talking about going to England…and I think…no…You didn't want to help me when I really needed you, why do you get my life now? That's kind of what Parker Industries is. My attempt to make things better in a real way. Don't know if I'm doing it, yet."

I can't. I can't. I can't.

What's going on, alien baby?

I was going to beg him to host me, but look at his life? It's so…good…It's literally everything my Peter ever wanted.

Ask about Flash Thompson.

"Hey, um, what's going on with your buddy Flash Thompson these days?"

"Flash?" Peter sucked in a hot breath through his teeth. "When he came back from his second deployment without legs, I personally oversaw a new branch of our medical tech department to make the best damn prosthetics ever made. I was even willing to work with Oscorp on it, when it was still around. But alcohol is a hell of a drug. I tried, but he didn't make it out of the relapse."

Fuck.

"Why are you asking about Flash Thompson?" Peter asked. "Is that actually why you're here?"

How do you want to do this?

Let me show him.

"Yeah, okay." Wade interlaced his fingers. "Don't freak out. And let me introduce you to Venom."

When the alien moved out of his body it was like his skin pulled from his muscle and muscle from bone, and the extra mass dragged his body down in unusual ways. Venom made themselves particularly large, trying to match the size and shape of a human torso, head, and arms while still emerging from Wade's chest.

Peter simply stared, trying to process everything as fast as possible.

"Are you an alien or a demon?" Peter finally asked.

"Alien symbiote," Venom replied.

"I'm okay with that. Alien I can handle. That's….that's science. Clarke's third law aside, if you were magic I'd have some…I'd have some problems. Okay. So you're the one who needs me?"

Now it was the symbiote's turn to lay out their life thus far and how they got to this point.

"I don't know how to make it back to my timeline, at this point."

Really shouldn't have broken Cable's special watch…fuck…

"So I need a host. I thought if I found you in this timeline you might be willing, but…no. That's not fair to your family."

"Do I not have a family in other timelines?" Peter asked.

"Don't ask questions you don't want answers to," Venom said.

"Okay. Got it. Haaaah." Peter slumped forward with a sigh.

"Flash was one of your hosts?"

"He was my most recent one. I just parted from him."

"How…how was he?" Peter asked.

"I tweaked his brain. Managed to get the alcoholism under control. Then we went to space."

"That's cool as hell." He nodded in approval. "Okay. So do I know any other hosts? Seems like in your timeline you're shopping my sphere of acquaintances."

Venom hesitated, shying away from the question.

"Eddie Brock," Logan said. Peter looked down and away, thinking.

"That name sounds so familiar. Hold on." He moved out of his chair to glance around the newspaper articles mounted to the walls. "Here. When I set up my first bio-med lab, we granted him a tour to talk about our motivations and mission statement. It was a really positive write-up. He was a nice guy. But I have no idea what he's doing now, so I don't know if I can help you." Peter tapped his knuckle against the glass. "You know what? I used to do freelance photography at The Bugle , and we overlapped. I bet you I still have contacts there. They might know what happened to him. Can you give me a day?"

"Yes, thank you. We can handle another day." Logan shot up from his chair. "Let me just give you my number."

"I mean, if you're at the X-Mansion, I know how to contact them."

"Oh okay. Yeah. Now we're gonna get out of here so you can enjoy your family." Logan yanked Wade up from the chair.

"Uh, yeah…thanks," Wade said.

What the fuck?

Then he walked them out of the room and the house.

."You were a bit of a grump-a-sauraus back there." Wade flopped down on their bed. It was late, but they had at least made it home without much further ado. Venom had decided they needed to rest, so they had pulled from the surface of Wade's brain and body. He could still feel them in there, but it was detached and distant.

Wade had done his usual nervous chattering on the drive home, but Logan had remained quiet, still, barely responding with even a threat of violence.

Something really shook him up.

Logan sat on the bench at the end of their bed and started undressing.

"In my timeline, Gwen Stacey's dead. She was thrown off a roof by someone Spider-Man was fighting. He webbed her mid-aid to keep her from falling, and she was dead when he got her back on the roof."

"Jesus fuck."

"He blames himself to this day. And none of us would ever fucking say it to his face because we're not goddamn monsters, but well…physics…Spines don't take hard traction like that well…" Logan let it drop off. "This timeline's Peter made the choice to not be Spider-Man, and look at his life. What if-"

"Okay, but we didn't have that same choice." Wade scooted his body until his head was laying on the bench next to Logan, gazing up at his shirtless chest. "I had cancer. I could either die or go through what I thought was a super-soldier program. I didn't choose any of what Frances put me through. You couldn't have known what Weapon-X would do to you. You were trying to serve your country. You didn't make yourself a mutant. Neither of us asked for the years of child abuse and trauma." Wade lifted his arms above his head and touched the backs of his fingers to the floor. "Peter didn't go through any of that. He didn't have to make the kind of choices we did."

Privileged little white boy.

I guess I'm a little white boy, too, though.

Wait, nurturing caregivers and a stable home are a vector of privilege; I get points for that.

"And all those actual big choices, those fucking…four to five moments…if I'd done any of those differently, I wouldn't be here. With you. Right now. Touching your nipple." He reached out, slowly, to touch him then made contact. Logan normally swatted him away when he tried to get frisky at weird times. This time he just stared down at him with wavered eyebrows.

He scooped his hand under Wade's head and lifted him all the way up into a kiss. Deep and throbbing like all the other parts of him. His clothes melted back into his skin, leaving him in just his briefs. Logan growled against his mouth.

"Symbiote."

"They're asleep. I did the clothing thing." It was only half a lie. He had control over the clothing, so Venom hadn't done it. But he wasn't totally sure that Venom was actually particularly dormant. Logan growled again. Wade somersaulted over the bench to stand upright in front of Logan.

"You're really going to look at all this--" he turned to wiggle his ass "--and say no just because there's an alien ride along?"

"They're not allowed to come out." Logan reached forward and pressed his face against Wade's lower back.

"Obviously."

"Alright." Logan lifted him around the waist and judo threw him over his shoulder and onto the bed.

Everything was so easy now, a quick flow of routine from step to step. Not boring. Comfortable. Delightful in its predictability. Logan was out of his jeans already, looking for their usual accouterments in the side table.

"I'm all fired up from my forced nap. Let me top." Wade slid to the edge of the bed and took Logan's cock in his mouth.

God, I'm so glad everything else got me to this point. Fuck this multiverse shit.

Do you need help?

Go back to sleeeeeep.

I experience everything you do. I'm not gonna knock out and miss a good orgasm.

I can respect that honestly. Stay inside so Logan doesn't get mad.

Can do.

Logan wove his fingers around the back of Wade''s head, pressing his mouth deeper against his cock.

"I'm kinda tired, so if I don't have to do any work, okay."

Wade released him, and Logan disappeared into the bathroom for a moment to quick prep. Wade sat back and played with his own cock, waiting, getting hard and ready for Logan. A tendril emerged from his knee; it wrapped around his base and squeezed.

What the fuck did I say?!

It's just until he gets back. Let me have this.

You're really pushing it.

The bathroom door opened and Venom zooted back into Wade's body. Barely paying attention, Logan dropped between Wade's legs and wrapped his mouth around his cock.

"Oh, you don't need to do a lot of that, peanut. I'm 'boutta burst as is." He had noticed that the last time they fucked. Everything had built fast and powerful. The only difference was the influence of the symbiote.

Think about those implications later.

Logan grunted and flopped on the bed. Wade preferred missionary, but Logan threw his ass up to take it from behind. He positioned behind him readily, all the movements easy and familiar and sexy and satisfying as their bodies brushed against each other.

"Cherry or vanilla?" Wade asked as he looked at the bottles Logan had pulled from the nightstand.

"I'm not the one tasting it," Logan grumbled. Wade wasn't either this time, so he moved ahead full steam.

Fuck that's good.

A few moments flashed together as he pressed, lubed up, into Logan. He didn't actually want to move, enjoying the feeling of soaking in Logan's insides. But here his hips were going, pumping in and out gently, at first, then quicker and harder. His hands spread down Logan's back, and he considered whether he was in an ass-slapping mood. Something about this lazy pounding was more appealing. He reached around to stroke Logan's cock instead and was rewarded with a low growl of pleasure.

A tendril glanced over the back of his thigh.

Dude.

Hold on, let me show you something.

The tendril slipped between his ass and crawled up inside him, aiming right for the sweet spot with a few soft taps. He jolted and fell forward over Logan's ass.

"Holy fuuuuuck," he hissed.

"What?" Logan looked back over his shoulder.

"Um…" Wade seriously considered lying for several long moments before deciding that was a terrible, horrible, unethical idea. "Can I…holy fuck…" The words wouldn't even come out, the dual sensations eating away as his ability to form sounds.

"Can Venom join us? Just me. They won't touch you. If they do, you can slice them from my body and stab me until you're satisfied."

Under-fucking-stood?

Yes, honey.

Wade watched the gears turn in Logan's head.

"You get one shot," Logan said.

"Ohmygodthankyou."

The symbiote pressed against his insides again, leaning in hard against his prostate. Wade leant some of his control over to the alien, his hips starting to slam into Logan as the symbiote worked him from the other side. This left him room to concentrate on stroking Logan's cock and digging his nails into his skin.

Logan panted soft and ragged underneath him, thrusting a little into his hand. When he came, it was with a moan and a shudder, gnashing his teeth before he dropped down onto his elbows.

"Hold on. Almost…" When Wade came it was an explosion that broke in waves through every muscle in his body. There was an echo there, though, a twin orgasm that rattled alongside his own that belonged to someone else riding along in his body.

Thank you, Wade.

Do not talk to me, right now.

And they slid back away into his consciousness as Wade collapsed down next to Logan.

"Do we talk about it?" Wade said quietly.

"No," Logan said curtly.

Oh we REALLY need to talk about it. But not yet.

#####

"Wade, get up. As pissed off as I am about it, we've got a plane to catch." Logan kissed him on the forehead to wake him. When that didn't work, he poked a blade into his cheek ever so gently.

"Owie!" Wade rolled over grumpily, arms flailing. "It's too early."

"Just early enough to make it to the airport." Logan pulled out their duffel bags and started throwing in enough clothes for a few days. Wade finally started coming to his senses, getting out of bed to move around the room, khakis and a t-shirt appearing on his body as he started helping with the packing.

"How did you get a flight so fast? Where are we going?"

That was the great thing about Wade. Tell him you're going to do something, he may ask questions, but he'll start working while he's asking.

"It's a shit flight. Two long layovers in Chicago and Denver. Won't be getting into San Francisco until ten o'clock local time."

"Why are we going to San Francisco?"

"That's where Eddie Brock lives. Scott caught a voice mail on the main line this morning. After we left last night, Peter remembered he got an e-mail a few months ago from someone at the San Francisco Examiner asking for an interview. They referenced their colleague Ed Brock. He hadn't put all the components together, but when he googled the paper, E.C. Brock showed up as a byline."

"That's him." Venom's body sluiced out of Wade's shoulder.

"Peter said he would see if he could get an address, still, but we can at least get to California in the meantime."

"Sounds like a plan," Wade said.

"What if I don't want to go back to him?" Venom said sharply. "I never asked to."

Logan slammed his bag on the floor. He couldn't do this. This multiverse symbiote bullshit. It was too goddamn much. He had waited too fucking long to have someone who was just his. Who belonged to him and him alone. He wasn't fucking sharing.

"Look, you can't stay bonded to Wade. I won't accept it. And I'm not gonna offload you on some rando in the street without knowing how they'd use you. Neither of us want to ruin Peter's life. Flash is out of commission. Your other options are either I find whatever shithole Mac Gargan is probably locked up in right now, drop you off, then throw away the key so you can torture each other to death. Or I go find out if this version of Alchemex is in the business of symbiotes."

"That's quite the lore drop, sweetpea," Wade whispered.

Logan flicked out his claws and pressed them under Venom's chin.

"Or…we take you to Eddie Brock and test that option out. What would you prefer? Because you don't want to know what the last option is."

Venom clacked his teeth then sunk a little further back into Wade's body without disappearing completely.

"I'd prefer the window seat if it's an option," Venom said.
