TMAGP Theory Board (Episode 8-9)
Hi guys sorry about the missed week of theory crafting my schoolwork has been extra demanding and I haven't been able to get around to updating the board until now so here's the updated board
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Episode 8 especially was insane so I'm gonna break the episode breakdown into two sections.
What Happened in Episode 8: Running On Empty
Tumblr media
New Norris Statement! it's been a while since we heard from our buddy and he did not disappoint. though there's not much to say story-wise this was just a cool incident report I loved the way they described the Lonely as a constantly hungry entity. I also noticed that the pattern of Norris's statements having to do with lost love continues to be true. it's much more subtle than his previous two incidents but the statement giver does mention losing his wife because of divorce. which I believe still follows the pattern I've theorized is taking place. 
Something up with Alice. She seems more depressed and serious than she usually is in this episode. (through episode 9 I think I know why but I'll get to that later. I don't believe she is completely in the dark like some of the newer employees and after hearing about Gwen's promotion she is getting suspicious. we have yet to know if Alice knows what's happening. but her behavior in this episode might give us a hint about how naive she actually is.
Colin is Absent. After his freakout in EP 7, Colin is MIA. according to Lena, he's on a mental health break but I would not be surprised if that is a lie.
Tumblr media
Gerry and Gertrude are Alive!! Probably the most exciting development in this episode was meeting an alive Gerry Keay and Gertrude Robison. Sam is on the hunt for info about the Magnus Institute after the emails Jon has been sending him and he and Celia end up meeting Gerry who in this universe is considerably more happy and lives with Gertrude. I'm interested to know what role Gertrude plays in this universe is she at all connected to the Institute? I definitely think something is up with her because of the way she tries to deflect Sam's question to Gerry.
Celia Lore. after the meeting with Gerry leads to a dead end for Sam, Celia asks him to help her with her mystery. "I'm trying to look into... Weird physics stuff: time travel, other dimensions, teleportation" More proof for this Celia being from from Archives. why else would she be looking into other dimensions specifically if she wasn't trying to figure out what happened at the Panopticon. (Remember as far as we know Celia before the change in Archives was just a normal person she had no connection to the entities or the Institute.) when Sam asks, she says it's for her friend's podcast but I think she's lying. or not telling the full truth.
Georgie Barker Perhaps? speaking of the friend. our last reveal of the episode is Georgie in protocol. I don't think she is from Archives because Georgie appears after Jons's sacrifice in MAG 200. 
And thats it for episode 8 so im gonna move on to Episode 9
What happened in Episode 9: Rolling With It
Sam is back to filling out onboarding paperwork but the questions on it are strange. asking about past traumas, how many dead things you've seen recently, and the infamous question why? similar types of questions that appear in TMA job interviews.
Tumblr media
A Magnus Statement!?! After Celia tells Sam she can't find anything at the Magnus Institute Sam considers cutting his losses and letting it go. But then Chester without any prompting begins reading a Magnus statement incident to Sam. I still believe Chester is Jon and he acts as a mentor to Sam trying to keep him safe by providing him with bits of the answers he's looking for. (this way Sam won't be in danger of looking for answers elsewhere and maybe he won't be targeted by this unknown force that had killed RedCanary and driven Colin to extreme paranoia.) the statement reveals that the institute collected and stored artifacts much like the Institute in Archives. 
Tumblr media
What's the deal with the Institute? the statement Chester shares this episode is pretty standard Magnus stuff, magic fear dice is just another Thursday for TMAG enjoyers. but what I found most interesting was the pre-statement info. What does this viability survey mean? viable for what? I and my roommate have a kind of joke theory that the Institute in this universe is a hub for training and creating new avatars but now I'm starting to think this might actually be the case. I think they are looking for people who have the potential to become avatars as subjects. for the agents, they might be employing avatars to work for the institute and the catalyst has to be finding an avatar that can complete the ritual and bring the Change. The unknown statement giver in this episode can't be a subject because they are already claimed by a power from the dice (still unsure what power it is ) they have low potential to become an agent because based on the end of the statement they now want nothing to do with the dice stepping away from their identity as a fear avatar and then dying. and for some reason, the institute must see some potential that this individual can serve as a catalyst for the ritual. I'm hopeful we'll get another avatar statement and maybe we can revisit this Viability survey again 
Gwen's First assignment. Gwen gets her first Liason assignment and it has brought up a major player from the protocol ARG. Mr Bonzo is this weird mascot character that showed up multiple times in the ARG that was launched back in the fall of 2023. Gwen is tasked with delivering an envelope with a name and address to Nigel Dickerson someone who according to Gwen is known for Mr. Bonzo. Basically, I have no idea where this is going but I definitely think it must be important. 
Tumblr media
Poor Alice. Alice meets with Teddy to catch up. Nothing story significant happens here but we do learn that maybe Alice still harbors some romantic feelings towards Sam.
The Ruins. After her conversation with Teddy Alice is approached by Sam with a request. He wants to go to the old Magnus Institute ruins and wants Alice to come with him. This is definitely a bad idea but she agrees and that's where we leave off
and thats it for now. The story is getting so good and I'm already attached to all the characters so im terrified to see what Sam and alice dig up at the ruins (Sam clearly didn't heed the warning of the RedCanary)

What if Nicky got DID?(part 6)
Nicky and Ivan were heading to the clubroom.
“That guy was… strange.” Ivan whispered to his friend.
“Agreed… but seriously… I’m sure we’ll meet him again. It’s weird that he thought he’d seen me before.” Nicky pondered.
“Maybe… one of your, uh… behaviors saw him?” Ivan was trying his best to avoid saying the word “personality.”
“But who? Based on what you told me, Svetlana is just into competitions, Chester is a grumpy old man, and if I believe Trinity… there’s also some guy named Vito who just acts like a macho.” Nicky couldn’t figure out which of his personalities could have met Duncan.
“Maybe he just mistook you for someone else?”
“Oh sure, he just randomly ran into a guy with brown hair, brown eyes, and most importantly… a spiral on his chin.” Nicky pointed to the marking on his own face.
“Well, that last trait does set you apart a bit…” Ivan chuckled.
“Haha… very funny.”
“Well, sorry… so, what are we going to do?”
“Invent.” Nicky grabbed the door handle and, upon opening it, saw Trinity, Enzo, Maritza, and Delroy.
“Of course!” Ivan eagerly walked past him and sat down at the table, pulling a box of spare parts from the drawer… not even noticing the others.
“Looks like someone’s obsessed with inventions,” Delroy smirked.
“And someone can’t stop chasing the bird guy, but hey, we’re not complaining… at least not out loud,” Nicky rolled his eyes.
“Nicky! You know what this means to us? That guy blew up my house!” Trinity huffed.
“Oh, that was him? Well… maybe you shouldn’t have provoked him… Though, he probably would’ve harassed you either way…”
“Do you even care about this?”
“Honestly? I do, a lot. I just don’t get why you were avoiding me.” Nicky turned away from them.
“We weren’t!” Enzo protested.
“Yeah… and after the fire, I totally didn’t see you guys because of that.”
“Excuse me? Sorry that our parents held us up.”
“Didn’t they have to recover from squirrel bites?” Ivan chimed in.
“Squirrel bites?” Nicky hadn’t heard about that.
“Yeah, it happened on the same day Trinity had a sugar coma, you had a nervous breakdown, the house exploded… busy day.” Delroy remarked.
“Yeah…” Trinity agreed.
“Alright… uh, Ivan, I’m gonna step out for a bit.” For some reason, Nicky started walking toward the door, opening it and stepping out.
“What’s up with him?” Even Ivan momentarily paused his work and peeked through the glass gap in the door.
“Oh, I see.” He chuckled a little before returning to his project.
“See what?” Enzo was slightly concerned by his tone.
“Ah… let’s just say… Nicky has a meeting with… sorry, can’t tell.” Still amused, Ivan pulled out a small laptop.
“A meeting? Alright, now you have to spill.” Delroy smirked.
With Nicky:
Nicky walked through the corridors, heading toward her… not even sure why.
Maybe because she was one of the few who didn’t think he was crazy? And she wasn’t part of the investigation group either…
Maybe it was just an old habit of talking to new students? He had always been coldly received before, so he’d tried to be as welcoming as possible to newcomers… and because he could share his theories with them, since everyone else at school thought he was insane…
Maybe it was just the hope that he could have at least one somewhat normal connection besides Ivan?
Maybe… he just wanted to get to know her better?
“Hey! Do you always walk around this deep in thought?” Her voice pulled him out of his mind.
“Uh… well… sometimes.” He nervously scratched the back of his head.
“I get it, I have those moments too.” She opened her locker and started rummaging through it.
“Yeah… especially when a lot has happened.” Nicky said thoughtfully.
“Like moving.”
“I get that.”
“You do?” Gwen raised an eyebrow.
“Well… I’ve moved a lot. This city is like, the fifth or sixth on my list.” Nicky shrugged.
“Was it hard to settle in every time?”
“Well… I wouldn’t say I was a popular kid in other schools… everyone avoided me because of my interests.” He yawned… that was a long time ago.
“Same here… except I did get a lot of attention from the male population… let’s just say I developed early.” Gwen scoffed, recalling all the incidents.
“Not sure if I need to know that… I mean, I don’t mind, but don’t you think that’s a bit… Oh, well… actually, that’s yo—” His mouth started tripping over itself.
“Relax. If it bothers you that much, I’ll just say… after a while, they stopped… for good reasons. And don’t worry… you’re not like them.” The goth chuckled slightly.
“Oh… well, if they were good reasons… that’s nice to know?”
“Don’t get cocky.”
“Wasn’t planning to… so, how’s school?”
“Pretty normal. Though, people are idiots… but that’s everywhere… at least the clubs are decent.” Ingrid looked directly into his eyes.
“Yeah… that’s a daily thing for us.” Nicky chuckled a bit.
“Yeah… I’ve noticed. By the way… when can you show me the city?”
“The city? Well… I don’t think I have any plans right now… I mean, I have stuff, but it’s not like it’s rea—”
“Great! I’ll grab my bag, meet me here in five minutes.” Gwen waved and walked off.
“Five minutes… five minutes!” Nicky’s eyes widened. Crap, Ivan! He was going to leave him behind… but at the same time, this was a chance… a chance to make a new friend (maybe more than just a friend…). Would Torre mind?
Not thinking any further, he sprinted back.
Meanwhile, in the inventors’ clubroom:
“Spill it!” Delroy’s face was all smug.
“I told you, I can’t.” Torre waved him off… and at that moment, the door burst open.
“Ivan! I… uh…” Nicky noticed everyone staring at him oddly.
“…”
“Uh… I have… stuff to do, and… I gotta… go.” Nicky walked over to the bespectacled boy, grabbed his backpack, and slung it over his shoulders.
“Uh… okay?” A small smirk crept onto Torre’s face as he realized what this was about.
“Can someone please explain what’s happening?” Trinity raised a question.
“Looks like our professor knows something… spill it!” Delroy persisted.
“I’m not a professor, I’m an inventor… and second… no!”
In the hallway:
“Almost there…” Nicky was close to the meeting spot—looked like he wasn’t late… and she was already there.
“Wow, punctual.” A smirk appeared on Ingrid’s face.
“Uh… I…”
“Don’t stress. I’m not a teacher, I’m not gonna punish you for being a few seconds late.” Gwen yawned, waiting for his response.
“Oh… good to know?”
“Yeah, yeah… so, shall we go?”
“OF COURSE! I mean… yeah, let’s go .” The brunette said a bit nervously, and they headed toward the exit.
An hour later:
“And this is Mrs. Tillman’s eco-shop… though I’m not allowed in there.” Nicky scratched the back of his head. They had already walked through most of the district.
“Interesting… why?” Gwen smirked. He explained things in a rather… cute and engaging way. He knew what was built when, and he always had interesting facts to share.
“Uh… well… let’s just say that a few years ago, when I was 12… I used to be a menace.” He gave an innocent smile.
“You pranked her?”
“You could say that… and my parents got fined for property damage. Though, right after that, I snuck into the police station at night.” Nicky reminisced about the old days.
“You snuck in?”
“Well… my friend and I built a device… and that ended up causing the fine. It got confiscated… and since that sucked, I snuck in and took it back. You know, the police don’t exactly store confiscated kids’ stuff securely. Just pick a lock, and you’re golden.”
“You know how to pick locks?” She raised an eyebrow.
“Well… yeah? I’m not a criminal, don’t get me wrong… it’s just a hobby.” He immediately started defending himself.
“Interesting hobby…”
“Do you have one?”
“Not really… but I am in the art club for a reason.” She put her hands behind her back and rocked on her heels.
“Oh… can I see some of your drawings? I mean… if you don’t mi—” He fell silent as Gwen started rummaging through her backpack and pulled out a stack of papers.
“Here.” She handed them to him, and Nicky started looking through the illustrations.
“This is… um… nice? It’s a pretty… unique style.” To be honest, the drawings looked… creepy. Not in a bad way—technically, they were well-drawn—but the subject matter was eerie.
“What? You don’t like it?” She asked sarcastically.
“What? No, no, no… I just… wasn’t expecting this kind of artwork. By the way… that house looks nice. Black walls, black doors… black curtains… black pavement… you like black, huh?” Nicky asked rhetorically.
“Narf, Narf, Narf… why even ask?” She placed a hand on his shoulder, making Nicky blush.
“Yeah… should’ve seen that coming… totally—” He suddenly froze when he noticed a familiar figure in one of the drawings.
Was that… The Thing? The shadowy figure? The same one he had started seeing in the basement… and kept seeing for some time afterward? Every time it happened, Nicky had a panic attack… even today, at Peterson’s house, he heard sounds identical to that creature.
“You… uh… where did you get the idea for this drawing?” Nicky asked, his voice more nervous than usual.
“Oh, this one? Well… let’s just say I started seeing it sometimes after an incident… when I was about six, I think.” Gwen said it like it was no big deal.
“Wait? Since you were six…”
“Yeah, since then, it’s been here and there… at first, I used to panic, but after… many therapy sessions… now it just annoys me like background noise.” She waved it off.
“Wow… I mean, not like I would know what it’s like to see something like that… oh, sorry… that probably sounded insensit—”
“Relax. I’m not gonna bite your head off for every awkward sentence… you’re already nervous enough, Narf.” A small smile appeared on her face.
“Is that my nickname now?” Nicky was both amused and embarrassed by her reaction… If it were him in her place, he’d at least yell. But she…
“Who knows… so, are there any other places?” She shifted back to the original topic.
“Oh… yeah, though I don’t visit other districts much. I prefer the abandoned buildings on the outskirts—”
“Abandoned buildings?!” Gwen suddenly exclaimed with excitement.
“Uh… yeah?” Nicky was caught off guard by her reaction.
“Let’s go there!”
“You really wanna check those places out? I usually go there just to scavenge for spare parts.” He wasn’t too keen on going back… especially since he had woken up there after another blackout.
“Oh, come on…” Her voice suddenly lost its spark, and for some reason, Nicky didn’t like that.
“Alright, alright… let’s go.” Sighing, he led the way toward the abandoned buildings…

first up, spiderverse questionsss (super sorry if these aren’t that good, i’m not that well versed (hahah *rim-shot*) in the spiderverse franchise, i have watched both movies tho)
who’s your favorite spiderperson? who's your least favorite?
which spider-person has your favorite suit?
how did you feel about the cliffhanger in atsv?
who’s your favorite non-spider character? who's your least favorite?
fmk: doc ock, jessica drew, rio morales (very unserious, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to)
which movie do you like better??
what's your opinion on miguel o’hara (if you didn’t already mention him already in the first question) ?? (just cause there seems to be a divide, in my circles at least)
if you could be a spider-person, what colors and overall vibe would your suit have??
did you have a reaction to the aaron = prowler twist??
LOVE the pun by the way! i am also not that well versed (BOOM!), so i know a little bit but not much. plus its been a minute so imma do the best i can! if i don't answer anything the way you wanted just let me know and i can answer again! so without further ado...
round one, FIGHT.
this is a great question! great question that is tough to answer (half lie). umm i would say that my favorite is miles bc that's literally my son. he goes through a LOT and i feel for him bc it was never something he asked for, it just happened. but he took it like a champ in my opinion bc if it was me i would have ****** ******. so he is probably my number one favorite. but my LEAST favorite has to be miguel. I'M SORRY I'M SORRY DON'T SHOOT DON'T SHOOT. look i get it, you lost your daughter, but going after a CHILD??? i don't play about my kids, so the fact that that grown-ass man with that loud-ass song kept trying to come for miles when he didn't ask for anything that was happening to him killed me. and miles was so scared tf?!? holding miles down to the point he was STRUGGLING to push him off, unt unt. going after miles when it wasn't even his fault shit got whacked. *coughs* yeah so, miguel ain't my favorite
margos' suit was really cool!! i liked it a lot. her customization?? yeah, give it to me. anything with that cool techy customization style is one of my favs.
the cliffhanger had me gagged! woahhhhhh. i actually went in blind bc i watched atsv first with my friend, then i went back and watched the first movie and had to lay out all the lore for myself (which you can read here if you'd like). safe to say, im very (im)patiently waiting for the third movie shameik please stfu bc i think there’s a lot that can be done with that whole storyline. plus i thought it was really cool (and sad) to see how miles g's world was so different from our miles. it was different different bless it. seeing who he became with the loss of his dad was really interesting. plus miles g cool as hell don’t even joke. the cliffhanger actully led me to one of my fav fics (which you should totally read if you haven't). OH and i better see an apology from EVERYONE btw. especially gwen and peter b, i got beef with them.
favorite non-spider character. hmmm hmm imma say rio? my answers are so basic but imma speak my truth. any mother or mother figure has a special place in my heart. she loves miles down and i love that. i don't think i have a least favorite so imma just say kingpin just because i gotta pick someone. big bowling ball head ass. actually, he really did irritate me now that i think about it. yeah imma say him
GOODBYE… ok soooo. WAITT THIS IS HARD ok ok so fuck jessica... marry rio... kill doc ock NOOOO. sigh, it must be done i fear. but then i have weird spider powers that bring her back from the dead and then the three of us have crazyy hot- *gunshot*
um this is a hard question, but for nostalgia's sake imma say the second one, just because i watched it with my friend in the theatres and that was a really special experience bc she was answering all my questions and we both love love spiderman. AND that soundtrack was extra good. but the first one will also always hold a special place in my heart have no fear.
mmk so i lowkey gave my opinion in the first question but i will "expand" on it before they come after me with pitchforks and torches. it's not like i hate him, no that's not it at all. my main issue with him is he's going after a kid who was thrown into this world of spider people by complete accident. imagine being a 15-year-old boy who just wanted to see his friends and crush again (and later finding out that they could have visited you whenever, but they didn’t. which im still pissed about btw) only to have bass boosted master spider 3000 talking down on you and then having the ENTIRE spider society going after you. yeah, me personally imma call it quits and blow everybody up. calling him an anomaly and shit when he himself is ALSO an anomaly bc he wanted to save his daughter and sent a replacement which ended up destroying his universe? yeah ok. so why are YOU mad at miles for wanting to save his dad, being something that he couldn't control and didn’t wanna be in the first place, when you’re the reason you are an anomaly yourself. that pretty much sums it up. now if im wrong feel free to correct me on anything. im just going off memory bc i never did get the comics for myself. i know it seems like i hate him, i don't. i appreciate his character and all that he’s for, im just not his biggest fan. i know how contradictory that sounds, my bad
UGH for how bad i wanna be a spider-person i don't think about this enough. the overall vibe i'd be going for...erm. i'd wanna give natural tones and down to earth kind of vibes. like if you saw me just hanging around you'd come sit and talk to me kinda shtick. for colors imma go with what i got i my wardrobe rn- black, brown, green, little bit of dark blue perhaps. eh i dunno. not entirely sure where i'd put my spider logo but i would want it to go down my sides somehow. like maybe small spider on my chest/tummy with really long ass legs going down my sides OR OR wrapped around my back. might have to whip out the sketchbook and design something, but hopefully i answered your question. if not just lemme know
aaron = prowler = me upset. i went NOOOO and had to pause. like, are we deadass? that's what we're doing? oh ok. it hurt my feelings, and i was not happy. even though it was spoiled for me i still wasn't really expecting it bc THAT'S HIS NEPHEW PLEASE HAVE SOME COMPASSION. sigh, and uncle aaron was so good to him ughhhh. he just couldn't catch a break dammit
THIS WAS SO FUN! i love doing things like this and talking about my shows ugh its so fun. thank you for the questions wifey, next part coming soon! and if anyone else has questions for me feel free to ask!!

New Marvel Legends Figures!
So I had been even more quieter than usual because my home country is a shit show and I am losing my mind- so I decided to comment/make fun of the new revealed legends Figures because this is how I chose to keep myself sane.
Tumblr media
DUDE! When we joked about him being a vampire, we didn't mean this!
😭 I had heard of the whitewashing of merch before, but holy shit this is so bad- On a more serious note, I do hope they fix this before they are actually launched because jeez.
Tumblr media
What the- Seriously? We get this guy?
This isn't Peter B. Parker, this is the RIPeter from the first movie.
Which just lets me to...who's idea was this, again?
These are action figures for kids, at the end of the day. Had you ever gone to a kid and be like "Hey remember that super hero who appeared for five minutes and then died tragically?...Want to play with him?"
Tumblr media
...Damn, Gwendy didn't you go a bit crazy with the hair there?
For those who don't know, these are marketed as Across the Spider-verse toys, not beyond, which means that this isn't about some future look she is going to have in the next movie.
No idea why give her Lyla instead of Miguel, but to be honest having her as an extra isn't as weird as making Gwen look like she came from a cyber punk movie.
Speaking of Cyber Punk-
Tumblr media
...Did they know, that they couldn't white wash this one, so they decided to give him the pinkish hue he had in like one scene?
I do think this is one of the best looking ones, but I am also a Hobie stan so idk man. I still don't like the colour choice, but I guess is a tad better than trying to make him lighter; because at this point I don't trust shit.
Speaking of not trusting-
Tumblr media
....Well, I don't think he is white-washed, but damn, what did they do to his hair? And is just me or that expression looks like he is scared shitless?
Did they just decide to do weird hairdos for Gwen and Miles? I am not the biggest fan of Gwen with purple hair and blue highlights, but this one isn't much better.
And since we are on the topic of Miles-
Tumblr media
CHIKEN LEGS MCGEE!
I am sorry I couldn't stop myself, look I know this dude is built like a toothpick (SPECIALLY in comparison to our Miles,) but DAMN, in this it looks like you can snap him, and not just because this is a cheap plastic at the end of the day.
Because this is my son we are talking about, I looked more into it and-
Tumblr media
Well, his expression is kind of weird but not a complete loss, hard to say from here but I don't think they fucked his braids which I am glad because I love his hair style.
Still, I know is just cheap plastic but damn, there is something about this light that just make him look even worse and more cheap.
And now, last but not least-
Tumblr media
...Ok, this isn't as bad as the others.
No idea if the lighting (I HOPE is the lighting,) but in contrast with his costume, his skin looks kind of red; if hopefully is just my screen messing up with me- I think is okay?
His expression is a bit absent minded but it doesn't have those weird worry lines that both Miles had on their eyes. They kept his amazing hair unlike our Miles, so I guess is not that bad.
Now, even if I was complaining about this, I am not that much of an asshole to say you can't want them, if you want, or give them to a kid you know I don't know.
Here are the news about it.
The gist of it is that they are coming out in two days, the timezone is wack because is not like it hits midnight and you can pre-order, so look into the article for it.
These is the website that is going to sell it.
Thanks for coming to my shitposting!

I have my own little version of this if anyone is willing to hear me out.
I feel like Merlin would hide the pain and try to figure out how to undo it himself but also stubbornly stay closer to Arthur then ever before believing this spell to be a plot to get him away from Arthur so they can finally have a chance to kill him without him around as protection.
Meanwhile the bad guys watching from the sidelines are freaking out thinking the spell failed. Merlin by this point has monster levels of pain tolerance and although he feels the pain he has become quite good at hiding his reaction to it with his secret and life on the line it's a skill he's worked hard at developing.
Arthur probably only feels a less severe version of the spell as Merlin subconsciously protected him from the worst of it. Que him asking Gaius why his heart hurts whenever Merlin is around, meanwhile Morgana who had original been worried and followed him into his check up snickers at her poor oblivious brother. Gwen is gonna love it when she tells her later.
Gaius having not been updated on the magic attack on the prince du jour makes a wrong assumption and refuses to answer the prince's delima and instead gets him to consult everyone he's known to have a crush on Merlin in the past and leaves it at that.
He's to old for the drama that will unfold from this, he just hopes Merlin comes out of it okay. (Meanwhile Arthur learns that basically all of Camelot is in love with his servant and hears that they all gave up because it was obvious Merlin either wasn't interested in love or was already devoted to another)
You both get the angstiest episode whenever Merlin's pov is on screen, then when it's Arthur's you get the sweetest purest episodes about realizing his feelings for Merlin and coming to the realization that Merlin is his world.
Maybe this could go on for a couple episode where other things happen and Arthur slowly realizes that he's been treating the love of his life like crap and tries to learn as much about Merlin as he can to make up for it. He slowly realizes how little he knows about hims and eventually he learns all of Merlin's favourite things, his mannerisms, but he also realizes that whenever Arthur is around Merlin tends to perform. Not quite lie but overreact or make himself seem dimwitted on purpose.
Whenever Arthur throws something at Merlin he reacts to pain strongly which had in the past lead him to believe Merlin to be a bit of a wimp. He know better now since the day he saw him burn his whole hand on a pot when he thought he was alone and barely reacts. Later on he asks him about the bandages and Merlin makes a story about his clumsiness leading him to get a small scratch. Arthur knows that Merlin definitely should no be able to do his chores let alone hold anything right now especially while being this calm about it.
This leads Arthur to more closely observe him when Merlin thinks he is alone or how he acts when around others. Thankfully Merlin seams to perform in front of other's too except Lancelot.
Btw this would not be rushed and be a weird fusion of angst, humour, fluff, romance and character development galore that goes on for a long time as other stories happen the curse would still be there.
Eventually would maybe overhear a version of his rant to Gaius about how much stress he's under + the spell.
The main reason Merlin hasn't fixed the curse is because he's been toi afraid to leave Arthur's side so Arthur decides to tell him he knows and that they can go look for answers together!
Except he messes up and confesses instead. He also lets Merlin know he knows about the spell but in the moment he forgets to also reveal that he knows about Merlin's magic.
So now Arthur has a secret of his own and struggles to reveal that he knows as him and Merlin get closer and closer then ever before.
In the end the reveal goes a little like this.
Arthur: "Merlin I have something to tell you. I'm sorry I've kept to myself for so long."
Merlin: Merlin having been so happy lately has totally forgotten about his own secret and assumes that Arthur is finally ready to say the words I Love You.
Merlin: "Arthur you know that whatever it is you have to say that I'll accept it and still be here, I'm not going anywhere 😌💙"
Arthur: "I really should have told you this long ago, I know that me not telling you has hurt you and I am so sorry"
Arthur: "I just want you to know that you are safe with me I will always protect you."
Merlin: 🥰
Arthur: Arthur trying to get this over with rushes his words "Merlin-you-are-a-sorcerer-and-I-still-love-you"
Merlin: "I love you t... Wait WHAT!? 😱"
Merlin: I'm a what now!?
The end.
Anyways if someone want to use this a prompt to make a story I beg you to do it just link this post, mention my name and let me know about it so I can read it too and you will make me the happiest girl on earth.
Imagine this
Arthur and Merlin get cursed by a sorcerer/sorceress to feel pain when they get too close to each other. The opposite of the forced proximity trope.
When they finally figure out how the curse works, they don’t seem that worried about it. Arthur jokes about how Merlin was annoying him recently and Merlin mentions getting some time off for once.
However, it’s so hard for them to stay away from each other. They keep accidentally getting too close to one another. It gets so bad that they have to be dragged to Gauis by some knights that found them passed out in the hallway.
Arthur and Merlin are more bothered by the curse than they would care to admit. They make a silent promise that they won’t leave the other alone for at least a week when it’s done.
as always, send me any fics that are like this

So I just saw one of yours umbrella academy post. Imagine if Umbrella academy familly met cursed princess club, how do you think it would go?
(Sorry I just woke up; so my thoughts might be a bit jumbled)
Umbrella Academy x Cursed Princess? Now that a crossover I haven’t seen! But!!!
Now I feel like if the umbrella gang from season 1 meet the princess; it would probably be chaos.
- for one thing; if the UA somehow got transported to the Princess world; they’d be so so confused? (“Five you can travel to different dimensions??” “No??? Idk how this happened”)
- s1 Luther and Lorena would get along. Maybe Diego too…All three of them are very strong and they all want to protect their family.
- Alison would probably try to remember as much detail about this world because she absolutely going to tell this story to Claria. She probably hang out with Maria
- once she find out the princess are actually teenagers she probably get a bit worried for them.
- Klaus and Jamie would hang out. But Jamie would definitely get uncomfortable around Klaus since S1 Klaus is an addicts and idk if the pastel kids like, know what addict are.
-Jamie’s would forcefully try to talk to Five. Because one he thinks he’s a kid (oh thank god there a another kid here around my age) and two he wants to talk to fashion with him. And three, Jamie probably wants to help five because he could tell something was off.
- also??? Victor and Gwen??? Oh my god those 2 are super similar. But Victor would like low-key be uncomfortable with how happy and positive the Pastel kids are and how they have healthy (at first glance) relationship.
-if S1 gang meet the Curse princess club? They would probably fight. But after the fight they probably stay and try to figure out how to get home with their help (the UA gang are reluctant but they don’t have any other choice)
- Prez would try to help them, with different levels of success. (Luther, Klaus, and Allison I can see Prez being successful). But with the others; it take a longer time to help.
- the UA gang once again feels weird that an actual 25 year old has better communication with her emotions then them….
-They have mixed feels on the Plaid Princes and King Leland. (That dude is totally suspicious.” “Ew plaid?? With pastel?? That a horrible look” “why does he keep wanting to have them be married?”
- five is so so stressed. First he in the body of a 14 year old, then his siblings don’t believe him about the apocalypse THEN he’s transported to a new colorful world. That boy is so angry and anxious; he just wait for the commission to strike. (He half believes that he’s in a situation or he’s having a weird dream)
If the S2 UA gang meet the Princess? Nothing super major would change.But there would be more talking and less “fuck around and do whatever type of plan”
-S2 Allison would immediately try to adopt all the pastel kids. (Were is you dad? Wait he leaves for super long trip? You don’t know what he does for work???)
- s2 Diego would be like 100% more suspicious of King Leland. (He would also definitely teach the kids how to throw a knife)
-s2 Klaus would actually try to talk to the kids and try to figure out what is happening. But in like a odd semi cryptic way? He would go from place to place gathering info and making enemies.
-s2 Luther and five are just…exploring and learning about the world. Probably end up helping Klaus.
-s2 victor lose his memory so he like super confused about what’s going on. But he like, help take care of the palace and kids and teaches them how to play the violin.
-s2 gang meeting the cursed princess? They still try to fight; but less so. They actually try to work with them; but not try to communicate on what their feelings.
S3 gang? Oh there so fucking tired of dealing with the apocalypse and whatever that this might as well happen!
-S3 Allison is so so angry and bitter but she try not to take it out on the kids. (Jamie forcefully try to talk to her)
S3 Luther and Diego are just vibing. They talk and question Leland and his motivation because why the hell not? What gonna happen? Another apocalypse yeah, whatever.
-s3 victor would try to talk to Gwen because damn; the little girl is so painful like him. He would also probably get along better with Prez too.
-S3 Klaus and Five also try to find out what going on; but this time they would actively go to the plaid kingdom place and search for clues.
As for how the family would get home? Not a clue? Maybe either a magic object or thought the power of love?? Idk
Oh my goddd I forgot about Ben!! Ok so like he’s a ghost? So there like a 50% change that ghost can be seen in the pastel world; so depending on witch season goes to the Pastel world, there different reasons.
S1 gang is shocked and upset that Ben was here the whole time!!
S2 gang are still upset that he’s here but yay! He’s here!!
S3 ???? :( no ghost!ben in season 3
(Ughhh hope this rambles was to you’re satisfaction! Sorry that not like a whole lot of characters analyzing…But this was pretty fun to do?)

I rewatched Queen of Hearts again. I couldn't help myself. It's perfect until Dragoon shows up.
I just think it's unfair that Gwen was nearly banished and sentenced to die, but after she was arrested the episode became all about Merlin and Gwen only reappeared at the very end. It's To Kill the King all over again. That episode also appeared to be about Gwen at first, but, after her father was killed, became all about Morgana. Both episodes are important - Queen of Hearts was the first time we saw Emrys, and To Kill the King was the first time Morgana tried to kill Uther - but what of Gwen? She went through something traumatic in both episodes just so other characters could have their moment. She became a mere footnote in the end, totally forgotten by the writers.
At least we saw Gwen again in the end, but her brush with death wasn't even mentioned. The writers were always doing that to Gwen. In With All My Heart, Gwen's trauma wasn't addressed either.
Imo, the parts with Dragoon dragged, and I didn't like how Arthur went from being serious and concerned for Gwen to an idiot. He was even defending his father from Dragoon's remarks, after Uther had sentenced Gwen to die. Honestly, the Dragoon and Arthur scenes felt disrespectful to her. The comedy in light of Gwen's plight was jarring. The tone of the episode shifted so much after Gwen was arrested... Like I said in a previous post, I dislike that we didn't see Arthur try to rescue Gwen, though there's a scene of him speaking to his guards. Also, before Gwen was arrested, we saw Arthur place something in a bag, presumably getting ready to run away with Gwen.
I truly don't get Merlin's plan. I love how far he was willing to go for Gwen, and I love their friendship a lot in this episode, but if he had only intended for Arthur, and not the guards, to catch him placing the poultice in Arthur's room , how would that have helped Gwen? Uther wouldn't have believed that Arthur saw a sorcerer in his room without proof. Without seeing the sorcerer for himself, I doubt Uther would've trusted Arthur, who, according to him, had been enchanted.
When Dragoon told the King that Gwen had been enchanted too, there was a moment where Arthur clearly processed his words before deciding to ignore them. It's a bit weird that neither Arthur nor Gwen believed Dragoon, since he'd had no reason to lie, but they might've figured that even if Dragoon had enchanted them, they were already in love so the spell would've made no difference to them. Also, Arthur had already been under a love spell once, in Sweet Dreams, and knew what they felt like. Ironically, it was Gwen who had broken that spell, because their love was true, so had someone enchanted them, their kiss of true love would've broken the spell immediately...
Imo, Arthur should've looked far more distressed about Gwen dying, so I think Bradley's acting left a bit to be desired there. But Arthur did well. He chose Gwen over his father and was willing to do so again. It was funny when Arthur told Uther he would relinquish his right to the throne, because Merlin's face was like "Hoe, don't do it... Ah, he did it now. We're fucked." And Arthur missed Uther slapping Gwen across the face. Wonder how he would have reacted to that?
But Morgana's face when Arthur said he would leave with Gwen - she was truly surprised and lowkey looked at him like he was an idiot. What kind of outcome had she expected or hoped for? Perhaps she had believed that Gwen and Arthur needed to be separated forever to truly prevent her vision from coming true? Also, Katie's acting in this episode wasn't great... That evil smirk...

Adopted AU
So, how is Hunter's relationship with Grandma Gwendolyn? Considering that she visits Eda every year with a new "cure" for her curse.
Also, how did Gwen reacted to her daughter having a kid?
Extra: Hunter and King are partners in crime, constantly working together to compensate their individual weaknesses
Gwen first discovered Eda had a kid a few months after she kidnapped adopted him and Hunter hid like an angry cat under the couch, which is where Eda was fine to let him stay, until he accidentally gave himself away and Gwen discovered him. Gwen's first thought was "oh Eda you have a gremlin in your house. dont worry, i'll take care of it" and Eda is scrambling to grab tiney Hunter into her arms like "NO NO HES MY KID" and Gwen is going through Many Emotions upon hearing that shes whirling around like "YOU HAD A KID?? AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME?" meanwhile Eda is still holding Hunter like "well i mean hes not mine mine but kinda?" and Gwen is a mix between "omg im a grandma" & "i cant let her keep the kid can i?? i mean shes still Suffering from the Curse is it Safe?" which wouldn't work out well because 11yo Hunter has had 0 proper ways to express emotions up until now and finally has a nice adult in his life. Gwen will have to drag him kicking and screaming all while risking getting a finger bitten off. she doesnt, obviously, because Eda puts her right in her place when she voices her concerns, but Hunter was Prepared to do it.
Gwen sees him as her grandson even if Eda and Hunter dance around actively calling each other family. her general opinion on him is "hes weird and hisses at me a lot and i feel very bad for him but hes my grandson and i love him". she learned very quickly that Hunter has no magic at all, and for a little bit was convinced it was proof Eda's curse was contagious until Eda shot that down. after figuring that out she dedicated her time to helping BOTH Eda and Hunter 'cure' themselves. Eda is her main objective, but she adds in a good amount of research to try and cure Hunter, too. something neither of them want. its because of Gwen's insistence on curing Hunter in the thought that theres something Wrong with him that caused Hunter to have the same opinion towards Gwen as Eda, but without the years of history Before she was like that. so whenever Gwen shows up he's hissing at her for getting close and ducking behind Eda all while insisting hes not hiding, he is just sacrificing Eda to whatever 'cure' she has this time first so he has a chance to run. he also especially isn't a big fan of her because of how she pities him for being unable to use magic, and he feels she thinks hes weaker for it and needs to be babied, and oh how Fragile he is in a world like this, just Look at those scars. it gets better after Gwen realizes her errors and apologizes to her two daughters, and later offers an apology to Hunter. takes him a little longer to be civil with her, hes Hunter after all this kid doesn't trust just Anyone, but they get there.
and god, yeah, Hunter and King would be PEAK crime partners. King was like 3 when Hunter arrived at the Owl House, so he only really remembers a life that had Eda and Hunter in it. it took tiney Hunter a little bit to figure out what hes supposed to do with the demon kid but the two manage to get along and do Crimes together rather effectively in spite of their shortcomings. King didn't know Eda's past, so I doubt he'd know any of Hunter's. I'm tempted to make another post detailing the relationship between King and Hunter and how they lived w each other

Tumblr media
It is they, the bisexual girlfriends 💗 These two were fun to make because I've been wanting to try out some other body styles to test myself, and these two both had different styles for me to work with. I hope you guys like them, and Charmcaster and Mike will be up next in the redesign/rewrite.
-Kai Green-
Kai Green be eating her greens, because this girl is ready to wreck something. I always figured she'd have a strong build due to her work and lifestyle, plus I wanted more muscle girls in Ben 10 lol. Now, a lot of us take issue with Kai due to some problematic character traits, and strange introduction timing in Omniverse, so I hope to due her some justice since she does have an interesting idea about her that could work, just not as Ben's "love interest" in my eyes...But if you still ship it, I hope you enjoy it! But I'll be keeping with my KaiXEster ship here.
Kai knew about the Plumbers and aliens growing up, due to her Grandfather being a Plumber, and while her parents weren't, none were too weirded out by the idea of aliens due to growing up with such knowledge. Thus when Ben goes through that whole wolf stuff, she never really batted at eye at this. Now she does a lot of work related to alien stuff, mostly related to culture and history, searching tombs and temples to learn more about the past of different races, including alien influence on earth before the world knew about aliens.
She wields excalibur since pulling it from the stone where it laid, and it was later discovered that excalibur was an early prototype for ascalon in Ledgerdomain.
While Ben and her have broke off, they remain on friendly terms, and now their banter is a lot more friendly without the pressure of a romantic relationship over them. Ben even goes to her for help on certain missions sometimes.
When she had been dating Ben, her and Kevin met and became good friends, and have this dynamic where they can swear and call each other names in playful banter, and will give a blunt talking to the other when they need it.
Kai knows a variety of combat styles she's learnt while travelling, and a lot of techniques that help keep her calm in stressful situations.
She's loves it when people ask her questions related to her knowledge of history and myths, and will gush on about a topic for hours if you let her.
Never one to back down from a challenge.
Has been known to dive head first into danger if it means saving someone's life, or even an artifact from breaking (may or may not be a daredevil).
-Ester-
Ester's colour pallet was a lot of fun to work with, and making her a thin twig under all that fluff was nice to play around with too. It's a shame what the writing pulled with her for her last few episodes, but she was a fun character to have when she was around. I think I'd make the kraaho like her in being long and thin, though very tall compared to her, because I kind of got tired of seeing so many buff/gorilla shaped aliens, and just wanted something a little different. But that's just me, hope you enjoy her.
Since kraaho live in magma and volcanic chambers, they tend to wear volcanic glass as jewelry and pieces on their outfit. It's common fashion for them, and Ester has made friendship bracelets for others with them.
Ester has met and befriended most of the Plumber kids, and is closest with Alan, which she originally meet when needing warmth from him, but the two get along great.
She eventually stepped down from leading her group for sometime, due to wanting to travel earth more and spend time enjoying her youth better, knowing she's not ready just yet to lead, but will do so again one day.
Ben, her and the 'Kineceleran Kids' still love to play hockey against each other, and sometimes get their other friends to join. There was once a match involving Rook, Ben, Ester, Plumber Kids, Kevin, Gwen, Julie and Kai, that was brutal but hilarious.
She lovesssssss spicy food, and will drown a lot of her food in hot sauce.
Has a bit of a soft spot for cheesy romantic films. She knows they're unrealistic, but something about them is nice to watch.
Due to her elastic like body, whenever she stretches it looks ungodly due to her being able to twist and bend in ways that don't look possible. She also once tried to copy Kevin cracking his knuckles, but this didn't work, much to her annoyance.
Both her parents died when she was young, trying to protect her group during an attack. When they were gone, the majority of her group raised her, and she calls a fair few of them her aunts and uncles. Seebik use to be her closest uncle, but it hasn't been the same since he turned to a life of crime.
-Shipping Notes-
Both Ester and Kai don't like the cold, and will both openingly complain when temperatures dip. They both like to cuddle because of this, especially Ester, and there have been many nights they fall asleep against each other.
Ester likes to follow Kai around earth during missions, and will often help her out, the two having explored many ruins and temples together during dangerous adventures.
When Ben and Julie got back together, both Kai and Ester had hooked up around the same time, and the two couples bumped into each other. Now they often go on double dates, and have great fun together.
Kai is mostly the protective one out of the two, and will go ham on someone who dares even look at Ester wrong. But that being said, Ester can get scarily protective too if you push her or Kai far enough...
Ester often has to patch Kai up from some kind of damage whenever and adventure happens, and as she stitches up a wound she gives Kai a good lecture on being careful next time, and Kai thinks it's adorable seeing her get fussy and worried.
While Ester could stretch to be tall when the two kiss, she likes to make Kai bend down to give a smooch to tease her.

Sup! I'm back with another ask!!! How about... Lost In The Woods and Uniquely Normal? (P.S. It's funny that you did the "they're still aliens" in your Modern AU because I actually did that in one of my AUs too!!!!)
DUDE THOSE ARE SUCH GOOD CHOICES OH MY GOSH *excitement*
Lost In The Woods takes place about two months after Echo’s “death” in the citadel arc. Fives has been trying to process the whole thing, but Rex can tell that he isn’t at 100% yet
This is also around the time when Tup and Dogma join the 501st, so everyone’s been adjusting to the newbies
Rex can tell that Dogma’s having a harder time than everyone else—the kid doesn’t talk to anyone except Tup, spends most of his time in the barracks cleaning his armor, and really hasn’t bonded with anyone
So Rex comes up with The Idea
Shortly after landing on a forest-y planet, Rex instructs Fives to go scout the area. The captain also instructs Dogma to tag along
Neither of the two are happy with the arrangement—Fives doesn’t want to hang out with shinies, and Dogma doesn’t want to hang out with grumpy ARC troopers
But it’s not like they can argue with Rex, can they?
Fives and Dogma walk for a while—the whole situation is very tense and awkward—until a storm catches them by surprise and they’re forced to take shelter in a small cave
…they’re forced to stay there until the storm calms down
…which takes about 2 days
SO during that time, the awkwardness slowly leaves the scene, and Dogma and Fives actually bond a little bit! They don’t become besties or anything (have you seen how those two interact in the Umbara arc???) but they definitely understand each other a little bit better by the end of those two days
That’s… that’s kind of it lol
AS FOR UNIQUELY NORMAL EEEEEEEEK
This is a novel I’m working on—not a one-shot like a lot of my ideas—in which Hardcase is accidentally left behind on a planet and befriends an awkward lady named Merilyn
Merilyn is… okay, awkward is an understatement. She stutters when she’s nervous (which is pretty much all the time) says “um” way too much, blushes uncontrollably…
So basically me whenever I socialize-
Hardcase is about as opposite as he can get. He’s comfortable in any situation, talks loud, makes terrible jokes, sees the fun in every situation, and is really just weird—which fascinates Merilyn greatly. She’s never met anyone like him before
The two end up running into each other—no literally, they run into each other. She’d been too stressed out to notice and he’d been too busy trying not to step on any sidewalk cracks
Merilyn doesn’t know what clones look like, and Hardcase doesn’t bother to explain who he is… so Merilyn is left to assume that Hardcase is homeless
Here’s part of their first conversation :D
"Um, Hardcase?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you... okay? What-what I mean by that is, y'know," Merilyn asks, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Do you have any credits, or somewhere to sleep, or-"
"Nope."
"Pardon? You-"
"I just got here. My brothers abandoned me in the woods." He says it so casually, as if he's merely commenting on the weather.
"Your brothers abandoned you in the woods?!" Merilyn squeaks, heart pounding in her ears.
"Well, they didn't know they did. See, I snuck onto their ship, right? And then once we landed, I ran off and climbed a tree, then I fell off the tree, blacked out, y'know, and-"
"You BLACKED OUT?!" Merilyn cries.
That… that’s their relationship in a nutshell, honestly
Merilyn decides to buy Hardcase a coffee (which he’s never tried before. He puts about a bazillion creamer thingies into it) and once he says, “Oh yeah I’m like 11 by the way” Merilyn freaks out and drags him to a doctor
The doctor then reveals that Hardcase is not, in fact, a psychopath—he’s just a clone XD
After that, Merilyn figures that Hardcase should have somewhere to stay until his brothers pick him up, so she takes him to her apartment building and gets the sweet-but-also-terrifying owner, Gwen, to let Hardcase stay for a bit
As time goes on, Merilyn and Hardcase end up becoming friends—Hardcase thinks that Meri is the coolest person ever, and Meri thinks that Hardcase is funny and great to be around
As even more time goes on, they end up becoming… more than friends asfsbjdkfkfl
This is a book I’ve been writing for well over a year, and I’m still not even halfway through just argggg
I might start posting chapters on A03 soon, but I’m not too sure…
I FREAKING LOVED ANSWERING THESE OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏
(Also, it appears that we have the same taste in modern AU’s lol)

Been thinking about what Mordred's life in Camelot would've been like if Merlin didn't hate him and then thought about how if Morgana was around she would probably always give him her favor at every tournament (until he married) and the other knights would tease him for that so have a broad outline for a Beloved Characters Dont Turn Evil AU
Morgana discovers her magic and Merlin swears to her that he'll protect her. He comforts her when she's scared and Merlin begs Gaius to share his knowledge and suspicions about Morgana to Morgana herself. One night Morgana bursts into their quarters in hysterics, waking them up, screaming and sobbing, and it feels like Merlin's hug is the only thing holding her together but its not enough. Glass starts shattering, candles flare, chandeliers fall to the ground. Gaius decides at this point not telling her will do considerable more harm than not, to both herself and others. They stay up through the night. Gaius speaking and Morgana asking questions, Merlin with a supportive hand on Morgana's shoulder. At one point Morgana tearfully asks the question Merlin asked Gaius long ago, "am i a monster?". They all fall asleep at the table, and that morning when Gwen arrives to wake Morgana only to find her absent with her blankets thrown over the bed and several things knocked over she runs and alerts the guards. The guards initiate lockdown and the commotion reaches Uther and wakes Arthur (Merlin is once again late), and they proceed to fear she was kidnapped right under their noses without anyone knowing. Arthur runs down to get Merlin so he can prepare him for the day only to open the door to find the three of them asleep on the table.
Later Merlin organizes for Morgana to learn more than Gaius can tell her from the Druids, but she intends to stay the night at least, if not then significantly longer (anywhere from a week to several months), and they have no good excuse for her to use that would allow her to leave without Gwen and guards. They come up with some very convoluted plan, which does not end up in the raid that occurred in canon, and when Gwen catches her sneaking back she lies and says she wanted to check up on Mordred (who she did run into), to see if he was with the Druid encampment that was rumored to be nearby (which he was). She didn't learn nearly as much as she hoped in those few hours, but they at least pointed her in a direction.
Morgause comes to town, and leaves Morgana her bracelet. After discovering it stops her visions Morgana takes it to Gaius, who reveals it was enchanted and looks similar to the one Lady Vivienne used to wear. Morgana states Morgause got it from her mother, but that Lady Vivienne was Morgana's mother and wonders how the bracelet ever got to Morgause. Gaius says there was a rumor that Lady Vivienne had a baby that displayed a affinity for magic, but Gorlois told Uther their baby had died before they even named her. Gaius reveals that the baby was smuggled out of Camelot and given to the High Priestesses, and Morgause might very well be that baby. Morgana begins to long for a connection with Morgause, to meet the sister she never knew of and recover something of her dead parents. When she begins secretly meeting Morgause, she tells Merlin and then asks him to come with her when she begins receiving lessons from her. Morgause tries to convince them that killing Uther is the right thing to do, but Merlin keeps reassuring Morgana that all they need to do is convince Arthur to change the law for when he is king, and he's not ready to do that now so theres no use in killing Uther before he's ready, and that she does love Uther and Uther does love her and would try to "fix" her well before he ordered her death. Morgause still wants him dead, to rush the prophecy of magic's return. Them sneaking out every few nights cements the idea that Morgana and Merlin are secretly dating in castle gossip.
Im not sure what happens with Morgause, but i think she would still take Camelot at some point and she would spare Morgana and by extension Merlin. Morgana and Merlin make sure to get Arthur out (and Merlin probably goes with him) because they dont trust Morgause to not kill him. Morgause reveals her heritage (and makes Morgana a Princess and her Heir) despite claiming the throne for people of magic and not the House of Gorlois, and the knowledge that Vivienne and one of her daughters were sorceresses leads Uther to believe he can not save Morgana from magic that is likely in her blood and THAT is what breaks his mental state. Morgana's real heritage is revealed soon after, with Uther informing Gaius that Morgana being a Princess is actually within her birth rights. Morgause continues Morgana's training because at some point Morgana has to become a High Priestess because canon. That or Morgause switches sides (this is a Beloved Characters Dont Go Evil AU might as well make it No Beloved Characters Are Evil AU) and she trains Morgana later after Arthur is a established King.
Morgause is overthrown and the Round Table formed. Arthur as well as several people in the castle know of or suspect Morgana of being a sorceress but he refuses to banish her, first believing it to have been out of her control (forced by Morgause) and later learning that her nightmares had been magic all along (how could he punish her for something he knows she had tried to get rid of for over a decade?). Perhaps he lets her keep the title of Princess, having always seen her as a sister (and someone who is compassionate for the people in a way royalty should be) and armed with the new knowledge of her being his actual sister. Everyone expects Regent Arthur to crack down on magic, its what Uther would have done and what the people want, so he does. Morgana becomes a advocate for magic, as she had been for Arthur in private as a Prince, and it scares people in the castle. They believe her to be working with Morgause, despite her arguments being for individuals' wellbeing and how punishments fuels hatred for Camelot. Several attempts are made on her life, many stopped by Merlin and Gwen and sometimes Lancelot. Arthur often "asks" Merlin for his opinion on magic and with Morgana's voice being public he feels okay with being straight with Arthur on what he thinks. Uther dies same as he did in canon: protecting Arthur from a assassination.
Mordred becomes a Knight because canon. Morgana is ecstatic to see him again and acts like a mother who hasn't seen her child in ages when she first sees him. Merlin has learned you often make the enemies that are destined to kill you (ex. trying to stop Morgana's visions from coming true) so he ignores Kilgharrah and doesn't hate Mordred (he is always wary though). Mordred alternates between childlike eagerness around the knights and following Merlin around while hero worshiping him (no one can figure out why. Their best guess is that Morgana is a mutual friend). In the beginning he kept messing up his name (calling him "Merlin" is just weird) and they often talk in their heads and therefore just stare at each other which has led to two conflicting rumors: theyre in love or they hate each other. Morgana often invites him to dinner, and when they dine with Arthur they easily slip into mind-talking (because chewing) and Arthur is convinced that they're making fun of him every time they do it. He protects Arthur when Merlin can't, often runs off to do side quests Merlin needs to do but cant get away to do, and often tags along with Merlin on his quests. Being able to share the knowledge of his destiny since Lancelot died (if he dies in this AU) relaxes Merlin's caution and allows him to be emotionally closer to him. Mordred enjoys being around Merlin and Morgana not just because he's Emrys and she's Morgana, but because they are the closest thing to home he has: they know what he is, they understand (bits) of his culture and make it possible for Mordred to share it with them, their individual magic sings strong enough to remind him of when he lived surrounded by it. He quickly grows to love them so very much and no one understands WHY. The knights tease him about it, and Morgana forcing Arthur to take Mordred on certain missions he isnt qualified for "so he can learn" does not help. Gwaine and Percival were planning to convince him that he couldnt compete in a tournament without a lady's favor because he's the rookie and his panicked look greatly amuses them only to find Morgana giving him her's before kissing his cheek. They were relentless after that, alternating between "lady's favors dont count if they're from your mom," "Mordred has a girlfriend," and whatever the medieval version of affectionately calling him "Bambi" is. Morgana sits in the stand's throne (since Arthur is competing) or besides it if Gwen is queen, and she flashes a smile at him when he comes out (Gwen too. He's a sweet kid with a baby face, of course he's one of her favorites. He also reminds her of Merlin when she first met him: kind, awkward, cute). This settles Mordred's nerves but has the unfortunate side effect of increased teasing. Merlin doesn't let it go to far, he never does, and gives them a distraction before running back to Arthur.
And then magic is brought back to the land and Morgana continues the work of the High Priestesses and helps the rebuilding efforts and they're still adventures and problems, but everyone Lives Happily Ever After

🎶Knock, Knock, Knockin' On Hooty's Door🎵
I wonder if anything will happen in this episode.🙂
(I say as if I didn't watch the episode twice before going to bed and writing this post)
I don't think I'll ever not be amused by the way Hooty just...does things with his face
Seems like he found a thesaurus at some point
Okay so it's canonically spelled "Hootsifer," good to know
Also, this is really all we get of Lilith, huh?
His little hoot/coo at Lilith's letter❤❤❤
To borrow a meme format: If I had a nickel for every time Alex Hirsch was involved in a show where one of the characters was experiencing pubescent voice cracks, I'd have two nickels, which isn't very much but it's weird that it happened twice
Eda's face🤣
As much as this bit is played for laughs, Eda's clearly still shaken by what happened last episode
Jeez, Luz, priorities /j
Pictured: Hooty
Tumblr media
The way King talks about being pelleted implies this is something Hooty does on the regular
Hooty's plan to help King is literally a Buzzfeed quiz? Okay then
Betcha never expected lore from Hooty, eh?
"DO NOT INTERRUPT"
Officially a "type of worm"
The dance being a grievous insult wasn't exactly from nowhere, but still funny nonetheless
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING COCCOON
Tiny Nose playing Switch definitely seems to be drawing from Dana's real life experiences
Wait, Hooty and Tiny Nose are friends?
Well shit, turns out she could use magic this whole time. Guess her going Super Saiyan wasn't just the power glyph.
I am extremely skeptical of your medical credentials, TN
I have so many questions about the methodology they used for the blood test(s)
I think Hooty may have misinterpreted what King was looking for
I'm still amazed at how King has had, and continues to have, moments in the show with some of the greatest emotional weight
Ooh, sound powers!
"IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A CRUMBLE!!!"
It just occurred to me that that segment consisted mostly of Alex Hirsch talking to himself
Hello not-at-all obvious setup
Today I learned that Hooty is the baker of the house. Maybe he'd critique Amity's fairy pie.
Aaaaand there's the sleep inducing
Oh shit
In hindsight the Owl Beast being part of a dream sequence is rather obvious
Wow, Eda, tell us how you really feel about the Owl Beast
Oh we're just gonna ride aboard the Trauma Express today, huh?
Oh, I guess Lilith did make an appearance, after all
Damn, Gwen, not even looking
Oh shit dad issues
Sandy Cohen?! (To anyone who gets that reference, hi. How are your 30s treating you?)
Well, I know who Peter Gallagher voices now, anyway
Oh dear...
(Also, bright flashing lights triggering the curse? There's an epilepsy allegory in here somwhere)
Blood and eye injury? Gotta stretch that Y7 rating
Now we have some context for that look on Eda's face when Lilith mentioned their dad: good old fashioned guilt!
I desparately want to make a "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" joke, but I'm better than that
New memory! Raine!
Oh no...
I get the feeling I'll hate this part, too
They were exes!😢 Guess the fandom called that one
The reasoning for them being exes is understandable, all too real, and goddamn heartbreaking
That said, the fact they never stopped loving each other🥺😢😭
I do hope we can see Raine again under less...traumatic circumstances. Maybe that wedding that was mentioned?
Oh shit, are we getting into the Owl Beast's memories?!?! What a tweest!
Bet nobody expected Cloaked Moonface to show up in the frickin Hooty episode
(Also, holy shit I briefly forgot this was the Hooty episode)
Who is this mysterious cloaked figure? And why are they so tall and long?
So the curse was a sealed beast this whole time. Damn.
And it was just picked up as beach junk to sell as a trinket. So much for it being connected to Belos. (Not that people will stop trying to do so)
Who had "experiencing sympathy for the Owl Beast" on their Bingo cards for this episode? Yeah, me neither.
And here we have the necessary Eda coming to terms with her curse segment. More accurately, Eda and the curse coming to terms with each other.
Goddamnit why does it have to be cute
"It's like sandpaper" IT'S LIKE A CAT I FUCKING CAN'T
Insert Steamed Hams reference here to kill the mood
New transformation!
Oh no she's hot!
No, Hooty, you made it surprisingly much, much better!
She might have a problem pushing people away and holding onto guilt, but Eda always knows that she looks damn good
Oh right, Luz having girl problems. Fuck, so much is happening in this episode!
"Cotton-candy-haired Goddess" LUZ! 🤣
Attuned to other people's emotions = being a fucking creeper
Oh Luz, what happened to you back home?
Also, 99.999% certain Amity would love your cheesiness
That's...rather morbid, Hooty
So much lore development, including the fact the Owl House has a basement
Classic inanimate object silhouette fakeout gag. Subversion in 3...2...1...
There it is!
I can't imagine being pelleted is a fun experience.
Honestly I have so many questions about how Hooty got Amity there in the first place, but I'm not so sure I actually want to know the answers to any of them...
Cue much panicking
Wow, I'm really getting some Into the Bunker flashbacks
Oh this is gonna be amazing isn't it
I commend Luz for not actually dropping dead of embarrassment
Seriously, how can Hooty set all this up so fast yet not hold a pen?!?!?!
Poor Luz, she thinks this is destroying her chances
Meanwhile Amity is just "Oh, Titan, is this actually happening?!"
The way she's fixing her hair!❤
Goddamnit Luz let this play out, she's so clearly into this!
"Again?!" Okay who do I have to kill?
Luz is luzing it
Nooooooo....
JUST TALK FOR FUCK'S SAKE (aka how like 95% of issues in literally any plot could be solved)
Noooo Amity's so heartbroken right now💔
This isn't what either of them wanted!
To be fair, Hooty, Luz had a part in this too. Not that she can be blamed entirely. Poor thing clearly had some awful experiences back home...
Now Hooty is McFucking losing it
Why did I think he was gonna say "Looks like I'm gonna have to JUMP!" I think I've watched too much Homestar Runner (jk there's no such thing)
Those pulsating organs are still gross
Eda swooping in to save her son (No, really, he actually is now)
I'll say things get weird when Hooty gets upset!
Yes, King! Save them with your voice powers!
Damn that is some romantic lighting, and Luz is enjoying the eye candy (cotton candy, if you will)
Luz's reaction to Harpy!Eda is the family-friendly summation of how the fandom has reacted.
Hooty really just tearing up the landscape in remorse
Mother-daughter moment about love life!
I appreciate not just Eda's encouragement but her actually asking Luz what she wanted
God, Eda is best mom
Also, OH FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING?!
OH SHIT
THESE ADORABLY AWKWARD NERDS❤💜💙
"I'm not as cool as you think" could be interpreted as self-deprecating, but here it seems...oddly reassuring?
The way Luz eloquently says how she wants Amity in her future...beautiful❤
Luz making some good faces
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
YOU CUTE DORKS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
THERE IT IS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LOOK HOW HAPPY SHE IS
Tumblr media
WE WERE LOSING OUR SHIT OVER A PECK ON THE CHEEK THREE WEEKS AGO AND NOW LOOK WHERE WE ARE HOLY FUCK
Awkwardness is still there, but that's to be expected
BET Y'ALL DIDN'T EXPECT THAT TRAILER SHOT TO BE IN THE HOOTY EPISODE HUH
THE WAY LUZ RUBS AMITY'S HAND😭😭😭😭😭
Tumblr media
(And yeah, it's gonna still be scary, but only because it promises to be so wonderful)
Let's give it up for Hootsifer, goddamn!
Let'a also appreciate just how fucking funny it is that Lumity becomes official in the Hooty episode
Fus ro WEH!
Hooty actually saying "Luz's new GF" out loud...
In just about any other show the love interests getting together would be a climax/culmination of the entire plot. Here? It's actually used to advance the plot, and that is brilliant!
Dana Terrace and the crew really just knocking it out of the park again and again, huh
"They're adorable, and deserve all the happiness!" Well said, Hootsifer. Well said.
Probably for the best they had Hooty promise that. As much as what happened/progressed, there was a lot of property damage.
OH SHIT ONCE AGAIN
King's dad/relative! And he's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson!
GODDAMNIT HOOTY
Wow. Just...wow. This episode.
King has voice powers! Harpy!Eda! Lumity are girlfriends for real!!!!
How do you pack so much into a single episode?! And so expertly?!
I had my suspicions before, but this confirms it: The Owl House is the greatest show of all time.
And we have two episodes left until the hiatus! And 11 episodes in the season after that! What are we in for?!?!?!
I, for one, can't wait to find out!

Illicit affairs -Chapter 3
summary: who doesn’t love to sneak out to a club full of criminals? ok, that was not fair for peter, but at least he can still kick ass. Plus, someone’s not happy to see that y/n is back.
Listen to: Kiwi- Harry Styles & Dakiti- Bad Bunny
word count: 8.8k
(author’s note at the end now)
series masterlist
Tumblr media
You looked at yourself in the mirror, checking if you felt like you looked good enough for going to a club full of criminals. The night after your “meeting” with Felicia, you had gotten a voicemail from a private number, giving you the address and some further indications that you had to follow because you were…you. 
You can’t go looking like you buy things from Brandy Melville (which you took a great offense) 
Full-on glam look, we can’t have people recognizing who you are.
Ask for Felicia, only and only to the bartender. And only if I haven’t found you first. 
Go alone. 
So, there you were. You had used so much eyeliner as you tried to recall how to actually do a smoky eye correctly while also trying different dresses for this new persona. Honestly, you hadn’t done a lot of undercover in your time as an Avenger but now it seemed either way as a good way to start. 
You had ended up with a cheetah printed light pink mini dress from Versace that Thor had bought a few years ago, it didn’t seem like a right choice per se but paired with some good Dr. Martens, an oversize leather jacket, and some necklaces and chokers that you hadn’t worn in years along with the necklace with the arc reactor in the charm, way closer to your skin; it seemed like the perfect fit. 
You didn’t know if this could trick anyone but it was worth the try as you took out your subway card, since you couldn’t arrive even close to the location with your suit. 
You were ready to go. 
“HAPPY, Dad and Pepper are out, right?”, you asked your AI as you walked towards your door with a smirk on your face as you watched yourself in a mirror for the last time and took the handle of the door. 
It hadn’t required a lot of planning leaving without anyone noticing that you were gone. Pepper and Tony had a date night, which usually consisted of an overnight flight somewhere so they could have time alone. Morgan would be staying with a babysitter while Harley was out in Boston for the weekend, visiting some friends from MIT. Therefore, there was no one at Stark Tower that you needed to worry about. 
But then came Peter and you hadn’t been answering Peter’s calls or texts since you had met with Felicia. Deep down you knew that Peter was concerned about you and usually if this was years ago, you would’ve maybe worried that Peter would appear out of nowhere on you. But that was then and this was now after Peter had let you go, you weren’t sure if he would even try anything more than a couple of calls. 
Therefore, it seemed like a done deal. 
“Yes, Miss Stark but-”, the AI protested as you opened the door.
Nonetheless, it didn’t matter now, the door was wide opened and Peter Parker was staring as surprised as you were, with his hand on the air ready to knock. 
Peter shifted awkwardly as you stayed stunned in front of him. Part of you thought that Peter would simply let it go like he had let go of you when you ran away to Europe or how he had let go of the last conversation you had regarding why you had left, yet there he was. 
Peter had been worried, to say the least. He had struggled to sleep the last few days, mostly because you were ignoring his calls and texts that talked about the mission but after the whole Gwen debacle, that had ended up with Gwen threatening to end the relationship if he didn’t tell her that he was with you on a mission, he was worried that Gwen’s comment might have ruined what was growing that day.  
Peter was aware that he had hurt you and he believed that you would never forgive him completely, most importantly he somehow respected that decision now that you had talked. He could see the hurt in your eyes the last conversation you had and he felt his heart-crushing when you told him that you loved him. 
He didn’t try to think that anything would go back as the way it was, but the way that even after you had to tell him the truth, you were spending time together and it felt like before; it gave him something extremely dangerous: hope. Hope that even after everything, you were showing him those tiny acts of caring for him and were somehow talking like before. 
He hadn’t been aware until that point how much he really craved your presence again in your life as he could only breathe once more with you around.  
Therefore, Peter knew he couldn’t simply wait like last time, he knew he had to act and that’s how he had ended up at your door that night.
“What happened?” Peter asked as soon as the sudden shock wear off him, “You haven’t been returning my calls”
You cursed mentally as Peter entered the room, you were already on a limited frame of time to get to the club and meet Felicia, and now you had to deal with Peter and getting rid of him.
Fast. 
“Jeez, it’s Thursday Parker, almost the end of the week. Let it be, go and hang out with your girlfriend” you answered sarcastically as you rolled your eyes, still near the door. 
Peter gazed back at you confused, you were so relaxed compared to how intense you had been days prior about getting together a plan. Peter tried not to think about it as he stared at you, but he couldn’t avoid that his worst fear about Gwen’s comment felt more real than before. 
“Y/N,” he started as he stepped closer to you, his voice was so small that it made your heart clenched a bit. “I thought that we were fine, we were working together and talking…”, he whispered. 
Sometimes, you even got concerned for how much Peter worried about you, you didn’t know if it involved his overhyped senses but since you became partners, he was extremely in tune with you and your feelings. It happened so often that you had come to know by heart, the characteristic look on his face when he felt that anxiety creeping in with something related to you. The haunting gaze on his eyes, the sallow features drawn, and the smallest voice when he asked you how you were. He usually would look down when he got to close, his hand would slither behind your back or on your thigh, holding it tightly as you smiled and told him everything was fine or maybe as you cried and told him that everything was not fine. 
You could feel the lump on your neck as tears began to creep into your eyes, he still cared. If this had happened any other moment, you figured you would have a conversation with him, a more honest one, as you tried to swallow your anger and resentment because you knew it wasn’t fair with Peter. 
But Peter was making you waste time and you felt the pressure of the seconds pass as you took a look at the time on your phone, knowing that Peter had to leave, soon. 
“Yes, I know,” you started as you walked back to the hallway. “But then I remember our little talk last week and how it ended”
In all honesty, Peter thought it would’ve taken longer for you to budge and talk about your feelings but he felt somehow glad that you decided to bring it up. Peter sucked in a breath, fully ready to tell you everything, have an honest conversation, as he tried to swallow his anger and resentment for losing so many years because he knew it wasn’t fair with you. 
“I told you that I loved you and you told me that it was my fault that I didn’t say it earlier?”, you asked with a little more anger in your voice, crossing your arms over your chest to make you look tougher. “What about you Peter? Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you loved me?”
The questions were sincere but the why you were asking them was a different story as Peter chased you through the apartment while you walked towards the elevator as quickly as you could. 
“Because, I never thought that you would fall for someone like me…”, he answered as he caught your hand with his web and pulled you close to him. 
The smell of cinnamon and honey invaded you, your hand landed in Peter’s chest, your gazes linked and your eyes fluttered down to his lips for just one second. If this would’ve been any other moment, years ago, you could’ve stayed there being held by Peter forever but this wasn’t the moment and Peter wasn’t yours to do that. 
You backed. 
“Don’t bullshit me, Peter, I don’t know why you want to forget about that night-” you growled, giving him a stern look before he interrupted you.
“I’m not trying to forget it”
You wanted to explode right there and there as Peter Parker stated that he wasn’t trying to forget what had happened between you two, with his chocolate eyes with golden specks and his constellation of freckles drawn on his face. The gravity of his answer shocked you, it seemed so straightforward and determined that you felt tingles running through your body, but… 
You knew you couldn’t be doing this right now.
“So, why don’t you just admit that you knew I had feelings for you and you didn’t care and got with Gwen!”, you snapped as you called the elevator. 
Peter could still hear the hurt in your voice and it dawned on him, how much he hadn’t thought about how it looked to you. You had been acting weird at the party and then you had to go looking for him, for what Peter assumed now was to confess your feelings; but he had been making out with Gwen. 
Part of him wanted to punch himself in the face for being so tone-deaf regarding your thoughts, for only drowning himself in the feeling that you had left him and that excusing himself wouldn’t fix anything because you both had been clueless about your feelings for the other and only fighting what you felt would make it worse. 
“I wanted you, y/n”, he whispered. 
Peter knew that maybe was a little too forward, he tried to dismiss the pang of guilt that he felt as he remembered Gwen but you deserved the truth and he decided that he needed to give it to you. 
You felt like your heart was sinking as you heard his words, you couldn’t believe he was speaking so truthfully and without consequences. He was giving you what you had wanted to hear for so long and this felt like torture to you as the doors of the elevator opened and although every bone on your body was screaming for you to stay with Peter, you knew you simply couldn’t. 
“You still went back to her when I left Peter, I think it’s pretty self-explanatory”, you answered softly as you turned around and entered the elevator. 
Peter fought the urge to groaned as he followed you into the elevator. 
“You want things to be so simple and they aren’t y/n”, Peter answered, the doors close behind him. 
“Peter it’s simple, I was there and you didn’t choose me”, you said slowly as you prayed mentally for the elevator to go down faster so you could escape. 
“It’s not what I want-”
“You know what, Peter?”, you said as the door opened into the lobby of Stark Industries. “Let’s leave it like that and go spend time with your girlfriend”, you stated while turning around and walking as fast as you could. 
Peter stayed in the elevator, cursing under his breath as he saw you running away, again. 
Why does she always run away?
“But we have work to do!”, was the only thing that Peter felt could make you stop.
He knew how dedicated you were to the mission, he knew that you were invested and honestly, if it was the only way that he could make you stay with him, he would try it.
You stopped in your tracks, biting your lip and closing your eyes for a second, annoyed that Peter had finally found every right thing to say after so much time. You stayed silent for more than one second and suddenly, something didn’t sit right with Peter as he walked towards you.
He had been so into the conversation, on telling you the truth on acknowledging your feelings that he hadn’t really noticed how you were looking or the outfit that you were wearing, he knew it wasn’t your usual clothes and it seemed like the puzzle pieces were falling into place as Peter looked at you completely stunned.  
“Peter, can you just respect my limit? And leave? Just for today”, you answered exhausted and your gazes linked.
Peter didn’t answer, he simply gave a step back and motion for you to go on your way, it hurt to leave him like that but you knew that you had to go now if you wanted any information regarding Kingpin. 
The metro ride wasn’t bad, except for a couple of creeps that cat called you but you managed to threaten to bodily harm some of them and you decided to bark at one. Either way, no one had recognized you and you kept your head down as you exited the subway station and walked through the streets of The Bronx. 
You managed to slip into the club after doing a short line to enter, without much trouble. The bodyguards didn’t ask for an I.D. (thankfully) and you were glad that they only allowed people to get in based on their outfits, honestly only the ones that didn’t look “vanilla” were the ones allowed to enter. 
It was hot, sticky, and loud as you walked through the crowd to arrive at the main area of the club, especially the VIP one that was very close to the bar. The people were grinding against each other, others nearly having sex against the wall, many taking a bit more pills than what you thought was okay, while others simply danced. And as in any other club, you had to muscle your way through it to arrive at the bar, where the blue strobe lights didn’t bother you as much. 
Your eyes were scanning the place, as you asked HAPPY quietly through your earbud to look for someone that looked familiar, checking if there were any criminals at the moment and most importantly, for someone that looked like Felicia. 
“Shots?”, the bartender asked as he placed three small glasses in front of you. 
You felt confused for a moment, snapping out of your thoughts as you watched the older guy with a bottle of vodka in his hand, he raised his eyebrows as he shook the bottle a bit. “Yes, keep the tab open”
“There you go”, he said as he served them to the top. 
You took them fairly quickly; it didn’t matter that they burned your throat as you quickly turned your sight towards the dancefloor and the tables near the VIP area. Although it felt like it was bigger, it was rather a smaller club, more familiar and more private, it was perfect for the shady businesses that the Maggia family often had, especially Kingpin. 
“I can only identify one member of Frisk’s inner circle”, HAPPY finally said after a few seconds. “In one of the VIP tables, is the Architect, Orville Nugent. There are more people with minor offenses or in parole”
You knew of Orville Nugent thanks to your research and you had come to find that he was off the grid because of the kind of work he was rumored to perform. Extortionist for once was a title that you didn’t like much as you saw how he drank quietly as other men talked to him while some exotic dancers were performing in front of them. But as you watched Nugent, you noticed the girl that was serving him his drink and then walking directly to the bar. 
Her long silver hair was nowhere to be seen, instead, it was a long blonde wig that was framing her face beautifully, she was passing by through the crowd, in a black tight dress, as she carried the bottles of liquor in her hand without having to muscle her way through, but delicately; as if she knew where she had to move next to never bump into anyone. However, what made you lose your breath was how she had her undivided attention on you, her eyes watching you intently.
You suddenly felt pinpricks on the back of your neck as the girl watched you rather keenly, and you just knew who she was. Running your hand slowly through your hair, you tried to brace yourself for what would Felicia said, you fixed your dress and cleared your throat as she came closer.  
But she didn’t say anything. 
She walked up to you, closer than she had ever been. Eyes still linked as she trapped you on your seat as she very softly left the bottle that she was carrying on the bar, you gulped as you tried to be as calm as you possibly could. She smelled like jasmine, you felt intoxicated. 
She smirked.  
Before you knew it, she was dragging you to the dancefloor and you were doing little to prevent it. You couldn’t avoid thinking if you were walking with her, hand in hand, because of your own volition or because of her heated gaze but before you knew it, you were feeling the bass of the music tearing through your body as Felicia began to dance with you. 
Her skin was smooth as she pulled you closer, so you were now flush up against her, you felt your cheeks getting warmer and warmer as the second’s pass. She quickly moved her hands to your hips and forced you to move with her. You swallowed hard, as she placed her forehead against yours with a small smirk. You weren’t sure what song was playing as you simply tried to memorize every detail of her face; she was more beautiful than what you had anticipated without the mask on, her lips were as full as ever as she wore bright red lipstick and her eyes were accompanied by a sharp wing that combined perfectly with her purple make-up look. But the thing you noticed the most, as you placed your hands over her shoulders softly, was that her greyish-eyes did have specks of purple on them.
You had never seen anything like that before. 
Before you could say anything, she spun you around, your bum now flushed against her. You stayed stunned for a second, as you analyzed the skill, she had to manipulate your body as she wished, she placed her jaw on your shoulder and you felt a shiver as she breathed against your neck. You weren’t sure if it was the music or the couple of shots you had taken, or simply the fact that you were on an undercover mission and no one was watching you, so you leaned back against her as you danced to the beat of the music. 
The two of you swayed to the beat together, moving at the same time as you tilted your head to rest on her shoulder. You felt goosebumps appearing on your skin as you felt her fingertips trail along your body and you simply closed your eyes, trying to enjoy the sensation of her body against yours and the music, a remix of Bad Bunny playing in the back. 
But you suddenly felt the hairs of the nape of your neck standing up, you quickly opened your eyes as you stopped dancing and began to scan the room, you didn’t manage to see anyone you knew but you felt that someone was watching you. Were you being paranoid? Or had someone recognized you? 
You didn’t know but it made you snap. 
“Let’s talk”, you stated seriously, as you looked at your surroundings, while still trying to pass unnoticed, wondering if you were just imagining something that really wasn’t there. 
“You were doing so good”, she whined on the shell of your ear but then she stepped back. 
Felicia huffed as she took your hand and began to muscle your way through the crowd. The music seemed louder than before and it seemed as if space was closing in on you, the blue strobe lights blinded you for a second as you tried to follow her. 
Soon, you reached a door, close enough to the bar as Felicia simply gave the bartender a knowing look and the guy nodded, somehow allowing her to enter. It was a small room; cleaning supplies were surrounding you as well as a rag of clothes that seemed like costumes or uniforms for the employees. Felicia quickly shoved you into the room before she turned around, closed the door, and locked it. She removed the blonde wig and then placed it on a chair close-by. 
“I was starting to think that you weren’t coming”, she said with the silvery voice she always had. 
She turned around to look at you with a small smirk as she walked towards you and let her long silver hair-free, but before she could get too close to you and before you said a word; you felt a slight movement on the door handle. Both of you froze as you turned towards the door.
It was moving frantically and Felicia quickly moved to the door, she positioned herself in front of it, ready to attack if anything happened. While you tapped your charm slightly and the nanobots quickly covered your arm, you had your repulsors ready for the attack but then the handle seemed to be broken.
A second after, Peter was standing in front of you as he quickly closed the door behind him. Felicia rapidly placed her hand on his neck and pushed him hard against the wall, Peter winced as he felt the pressure of Felicia’s hold on his neck before he could say anything. Felicia showed her nails, which weren’t her usual claws but were still very sharp, and with one swift movement of her hand she tried to attack Peter but you caught her hand in the air. 
“What are you doing here?”, you hissed at Peter as Felicia glared at you for stopping her. “Let him go, he’s with me”, you said to her while your eyes were still fixed on Peter. 
Felicia doubted you for a second but as soon as you shot her an annoyed look, she let go of Peter who was finally able to breathe a little better, he coughed a couple of times.  
“I told you not to bring anyone!”, she growled at you while you crossed your arms over your chest and glared at Peter. 
“I didn’t tell him to come!”, you answered back. “Did you follow me here?”, you asked at him with a scowl drawn on your face. 
Honestly, it hadn’t been on Peter’s plans either. 
As soon as it clicked to Peter that you were doing something that you clearly weren’t supposed to be doing, he had to follow you. He knew that you would do anything to succeed on a mission, even put yourself at risk in the most stupid ways and Peter wasn’t prepared to lose you over getting information, he had just got you back. He was your partner, even if you didn’t want him to be and he needed to be there. 
Although, it had been one hell of a journey. He had decided to let you walk a few minutes before he began to chase you quietly through the streets. He had been wearing a hoodie under his jean jacket and had managed to hide his face well enough, avoiding your gaze when you turned around and checked your surroundings every while. He had heard a couple of guys catcalling you, and after you had walked farther away, he had managed to ‘accidentally’ punched each one of them in their groin as he still followed you. He almost missed the train and he had to hang himself to the back of it since he had been way too distracted by the way you had barked at the last one. 
The most challenging part, nonetheless, had been getting into the club. You had managed to enter quite easy and Peter hoped that he could do the same, but as soon as the bodyguard gave him one look, he had ordered him to ‘fuck off’ literally. Peter had protested, which had ended up with the guard pushing him into the street and kicking him in his ribs, threatening him. 
 So, he had to go through an alley close-by, then climbed through a couple of buildings to finally reach the side of the club. Peter quickly placed his mask on to scan the place and asked Karen to check if there was any other way he could get inside, and quickly. Thankfully, Karen had managed to find an air duct that could lead him to the women’s restroom and therefore, into the club. 
It hadn’t been pretty; Peter was sure he had found more than two bodies of dead rats and he had been chased out of the restroom but a couple of girls when he managed to get out of the stall, literally scratch him and punch him with their handbags. 
But the thing that had bothered Peter the most was how the girl, who he had now guessed was Felicia, was touching you. Peter was livid as he stared at both of you in shock, jaw slightly unhinged and a sharp glint in his eyes that were clearly a symptom of something Peter maybe wasn’t ready to admit, given that he was still with Gwen and he shouldn’t be having those feelings for his partner. 
He had managed to chase both of you into the quiet room, thankfully avoiding the bartender who had seemed to be keeping an eye for both of you when you had entered the small room. 
“I knew you were onto something!”, Peter whispered back at you, giving Felicia a sheepish grin before turning back to you. “We are partners, you are supposed to let me know this kind of information!”
“Oh my god”, Felicia’s voice interrupted both of you. When you turned to see her, you could’ve sworn that her grin would’ve been perfectly accompanied by a long tail that would seductively twirl around her face. She was not stupid. It didn’t take her long to figure out who Peter was. “Spidey”, she cooed. 
Peter rolled her eyes at Felicia as he glared back at you and you shrugged. “You were the one who decided to come here, it’s your fault she knows who you are”
“Felicia Hardy”, she simply said as she offered Peter her hand. 
You had to fight the urge to roll your eyes at the way that Felicia had introduced herself to Peter. 
Peter doubted it for a second but he ended up shaking hands with her, thankfully. “Peter Parker”, he muttered as he quickly let go of her hand. “What are we doing here?”
“I told Stark that I can help you, and I will” Felicia offered as she leaned against the chair with a smirk drawn on her face, while Peter looked at her suspiciously. 
“We were about to start talking until you arrived” you continued as you walked back towards Felicia who seemed to have a permanent grin on her face when she looked at you. “Anyway, what information do you have?” 
But before Felicia could even speak, Peter interrupted your conversation. 
“Wait, how do we know she’s not setting a trap?” Peter asked as he gave Felicia an icy stared. “She brought us to one of the places own by the Maggia”
Felicia grumbled and you saw how she clenched her jaw, just as annoyed with Peter as he was with her. “Why would I tell you my real name if I was setting a trap?” 
Peter remained silent and so did you, as you had noticed the last time you saw her; she felt transparent but neither you nor Peter spoke as you still watching her somehow apprehensively. 
“Look, I swear, things have changed and I can help you” she repeated once more as her gaze linked exclusively with yours, she was ignoring Peter and trusting you. 
“Why though?”, Peter inquired once more while you shot him an annoyed look. He looked back at you and shrugged, he clearly didn’t like Felicia per se but you didn’t know if it was because she was Black Cat or just because she had brought you here. 
“I’m smart enough to know I’m not going to go against all the Avengers”, Felicia answered right away and you felt your breath stop for a second, Peter’s eyes widened as both of your gazes linked.
All the Avengers?
“What do you mean?”, you asked her, face turning pale at the information while Felicia shrugged nonchalantly while she watched your blinking expressions.  
Felicia pressed her lips together; the air became heavier as you felt your muscles growing tense while you waited for Felicia’s answer. Just by the way she was gazing at you, her eyes burning holes into your face as you attempted to read her, she seemed somehow solemn, you knew it wasn’t good. 
“Kingpin is going after all of you” Felicia declared uninterested, but her eyes betrayed her as you saw a flash of concern on her face. 
“What!?” you yelled, louder than what you would’ve expected to but the second she heard your voice, Felicia walked towards you and placed her hand quickly over your lips. 
“You don’t want them to catch us!”, Felicia pointed out while Peter seemed to be still in shock as he heard Felicia’s words, you pushed her hand away from your mouth quickly, still staring at her wide-eyed. 
“After my many failed attempts of collecting those freaking neutralizers, Kingpin decided to go straight to the source. He has made a deal with Hammer and it’s getting those babies for a large amount of money but without all the trouble”
You felt dizzy as you remembered Hammer’s words on being a good person and how upset you had been regarding being place on this mission with Peter. But with this information, that seemed like a brick dropped on your lap, you knew that you needed to stay somehow calm if you wanted to succeed in this, nonetheless, it was a hard pill to swallow; the people who you were protecting were the ones betraying you. 
Felicia looked at both of you point-blank as Peter’s panicky eyes began to look for your reaction but you exploded right away. 
“That piece of shit!” 
But Peter quickly placed his hand on your shoulder and slightly squeezed it as you cursed Hammer under your breath, you couldn’t believe it. “Hammer already has a history we can catch him easily” Peter tried to convince you. 
“I don’t think it’s that easy,” Felicia stated flatly as if it was obvious. “If Frisk has been doing all the transactions through legitimate businesses. He also has been trying to contact Oscorp but they haven’t reach Norman yet. But with the bad blood between your dad and Norman Osborn, then it wouldn’t be a surprise if he said yes”
You felt like throwing up as Peter and Felicia continued. Whatever you had gotten yourself into, there was still quite a bit more that you needed to fix everything and you needed to know everything. 
“Why is he doing this?”, Peter asked before you even retaliated as you clutch onto Peter’s arm while hearing Felicia. 
“Kingpin was at first just dealing with the police and he was doing his business as usual; then Spiderman came into the picture with this alien bullshit”, she said as she pointed at Peter. “He tried to lay low since he had managed to trade drugs and guns perfectly fine, but soon the weapons made by Vulture reached him and he was more than happy to add them to his portfolio. Then, the friendly-neighborhood Spidey here managed to bust all of his suppliers for the new weapons and he has now become paranoic seeing how close he is to the Avengers”
You quickly turned to Peter with a glare. “What did you do to Kingpin while I was gone?”, you hissed as you placed the pads of your fingers on your temples, trying to calm yourself. 
Peter rolled his eyes, “I just managed to bust some of his operations”, he shrugged.
“A lot of his operations,” Felicia intervened with a stern look at Peter as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Since you capture Vulture, Tinkerer, and Scorpion, half of his providers are gone”, Felicia replied. 
“So, now he thinks that-”
“-that the Avengers are after him”, Felicia completed the sentence. “He had even been calmer the last few months until he learned that you returned and now, he’s all over the place. He wants to end you, all of you”
You remained silent for a moment as you figured the repercussions of everything that this meant. This wasn’t for a second-generation Avengers; Kingpin was going after all of you and it seemed more frightening that he wasn’t even afraid to face all of you. 
“And how did you fit in all of this?”, Peter asked now. You could almost feel how he was tensing up behind you. 
“Oh, I’ve been working for a long-time, baby” Felicia replied as she batted her eyes playfully. “But no one ever knew about me. Someone simply gave my details to Kingpin and I had worked little jobs for him, the only big one was the Hammer and Oscorp one. I had managed to do most of my job until you arrived”, she finished with a glare. 
“And now?”
You gazed at Felicia after you finished rubbing your hands down your face, trying to read her. 
“I want to work for the right team, the team that’s going to help me survive”, Felicia said with a shrug as she placed her hands on her back. 
“Then we can work together and stop him”, you stated steady and Felicia nodded with a gleam on her eyes. 
Suddenly, you heard a special sequence of knocks on the door. All of you turned into the door and it was quickly opened by the bartender, as soon as he opened you could hear the commotion at the club.
“They know she,” he said as he pointed at you, “is here. There was a snitch at the club, maybe The Architech. Kingpin is on his way with his soldiers. You have to get out now!”, he instructed as he then exited the room as fast as humanly possible. 
“Fuck, fuck”, Felicia whispered as she quickly snatched her wig from the chair and placed it over her head. She then turned around to face you with a slight smirk but somehow a concerned look on her face. “I’m sorry to leave you hanging but you can go through where he,” she said as she pointed at Peter, “came from and then I’ll try to contact you”
“Felicia, wait!”, you started but she quickly looked back at you with a slight wince. 
“Be careful!”, was the last thing she said before she opened the door and then disappeared. 
You gazed back at Peter who had the same concerned look on your face as you probably had. Peter could feel your heart thundering in your chest as you quickly got close to the door and tried to hear what was happening, but as Peter heard too, it seemed like they were trying to kick out some innocent party-goers, there was still commotion so if you had to act, you had to do it now.  
“Do you have a plan?”, you asked him as Peter swallowed hard. 
“I can’t really go dressed as Spiderman, they have footage of Peter Parker”, he said as you bit your lip. 
It meant that you were, technically, on your own. “Okay, let’s simply get out like normal people, and then we can get out with the rest of the people. You go first, try to mix yourself with the crowd and I’ll be just behind you”
“y/n but-”
“Go!”, you whispered-screamed back as Peter simply shut his mouth with doubt drawn all over his face. 
Peter was used to dangerous missions; he had been working on this for a long time and he tried to convince himself that this would be like any other mission. But each time he had to go with you, there was always an underlying fear on his eyes, especially now, these moments when you didn’t care about anything else but complete the mission, pushing the boundaries of your safety, not even knowing if you were going to be caught with or without your suit and if he was going to be able to help you or not. 
“I’m right here”, Peter whispered back at you, tapping his earbud as he finally opened the door and left you in the small room. 
Peter managed to sneakily make his way to the bar, as he watched how many of the usual body guards were trying to lead people out of the bar, one of them was ordering the DJ to turn off the music while Nugent was on the phone, still in the VIP zone with his partners, Peter gulped as he tried to zone out the noise so he could focus on what Nugent was saying. 
“Get more people, she’s here”
Peter’s stomach dropped and he knew you had to get out now. He tried to sneak his way behind the bar, trying to not be seen as he quickly asked Karen to connect him. 
Black Cat had called you here and now you were right in the lion’s den without less protection than what you usually had, without backup. 
“y/n, you have to get out now!”, Peter whispered in your ear as you heard him carefully. 
He was fuming, and you could tell by how stentorian his voice was. You had seen Peter annoyed at you a few times, even more, the last couple of weeks but you hadn’t seen him get this mad in a while. The last time had been when you had managed to defeat the guards of Tinkerer; although he had managed to escape, it wasn’t the reason that Peter had been mad at you. He was mad because to get rid of the different tech that Tinkerer had used to literally fuck up your suit, you had decided to ditch it and keep fighting. This had resulted in a broken rib for you thanks to a hand-in-hand fight, Peter had been furious that you hadn’t let him now and that you were being so reckless. 
You felt like it had been burned into your mind: His squinty eyes and his set jaw, as his stentorian voice called you out while he swung you through New York in his arm, trying to get you out of there as fast as he possibly could. 
And now you were more than sure that he looked the same. 
“Fine, fine!”, you answered back as you ordered HAPPY to release the sleeves of your suit, which would be hidden under your oversize leather jacket in case something happened. 
“I’m waiting for you at the end of the bar,” Peter said sternly as he took a peek at how many people were left at the bar before he came back down again. “I think we can manage to get out with the rest”
Part of you thought that you could possibly make it out of there without any trouble as you walked out of the small room with your head down and tried to make your way down through the bar with apparently the last group of civilians that was being let out. Another part of you knew that wasn’t the case, and it was right. 
“Miss Stark!”, a voice coming from the VIP zone called you and you close your eyes, stopping dead on your tracks as you saw two men in front of you, weapons at hand. “Lovely to have you here,” Nugent said as one of the men nudge you to go towards where Nugent -The Architect- was. 
Peter felt like he had stopped breathing as he heard Nugent’s voice calling you out as he quickly peeked once more to see how you were being escorted to the main area off the club. Peter quickly pulled his hair as he covered his eyes, the thoughts rushed through his mind as he tried to think in any way that he could be useful and get you out of there safely, without his identity being compromised. 
He knew that you would raise hell either way and you wouldn’t allow them to catch you but his mind was spinning as he thought of a thousand scenarios where he could successfully get you both out of there. Peter peeked again, the tall men were now holding you by your shoulders, you felt like their hold would leave bruises by how tightly they were holding you as you tried to softly twist yourself out of their hold, although they weren’t letting you. 
Peter felt like he could see red and if it wasn’t for Karen’s voice telling him that he would be exposed to several bullets if he moved, then he would’ve jumped right then. He couldn’t admit how anger he was; he was shaking as he felt how he bent the wood of the bar to his will, he felt his blood boiling as he saw how close Nugent was to you. He quickly cursed to himself as he hid again, trying to see what on earth he could do about it, soon he managed to see a small box next to the bar: The electrical panel. 
You, on the other hand, felt slightly annoyed that they had caught you so easily as you glared at them with your jaw set. Nugent was already grinning at you and the men surrounding him, clearly enjoying himself. He walked closer to you, grasping your chin with his bony hand while you turned your head to the side to get rid of his touch. 
“Can’t wait to see what Mr. Frisk will allow me to do with you”, he sneered as he licked his lips, the other minions laughed loudly at his comment. 
You simply rolled your eyes, he had to be a fucking sicko. “Oh, I can’t wait to see what he’ll do to you when I go”, you said smugly. 
The laughs died down as you could see how Nugent’s noise began to flare up, his grin disappearing as the seconds pass being replaced by his pursed lips. He didn’t seem to have a lot of patience, which honestly you thought was terrible for someone who worked as an extortionist. He quickly slapped you across the face, making you groan as you crouched a bit by the force of it, but you just smiled as you heard the slight movement on your earbud. 
“y/n, now!”, Peter’s voice on your ear felt like a shot of adrenaline. 
"You are going to regret that", you muttered with a smirk at Nugent. 
Before Nugent could say another word, the lights went off in a second, and the whole place was engulfed by darkness. The only light that could be seen as the one on your hands, coming from your repulsors and the fire that they caused as you quickly blasted Nugent that screamed and fell a couple of meters into the VIP zone, while you quickly fired against the men that had been holding you, you laid down on the floor as the bullets began to travel the area. You tapped the arc reactor on your necklace and your suit began to spread over your body.
As soon as it was on, you stood, turning and glaring at the men that were quickly shooting and screaming frantically since they couldn’t really see where you were, while you began to tackle them one by one. You quickly blasted a pulse bolt towards the comrades of Nugent and they fell backward, glass shattering behind them as you continued to fight. 
“P, get out!”, you managed to say as you quickly took one of the men, that had been laughing the most about Nugent’s comment, by the neck and threw him towards the bar. 
“Look behind you!”, was all that Peter managed to say in a panicky voice as you turned around. 
You felt backward as the force of the automatic rifles threw you out of your game, you fell onto a table and groaned as you tried to stand-up but about ten men were surrounding you fairly quickly while they kept firing at you. You could feel the force of the bullets on your suit, knowing that they could tear the nanobots away if they kept firing at the same places for too long, knowing that they knew exactly where your arc reactor was glowing now as it channeled the energy on your suit. 
“This is going to leave a bruise”, you muttered to yourself as you quickly fired at them with your repulsors almost blindly, but you only managed to get two of them. 
Suddenly, you heard a loud screamed that seemed to get farther and farther away, stopping abruptly, and then something fell to the floor. The other men stopped firing for one second, looking around before another one screamed and stopped abruptly. 
Now you were able to hear the familiar twhip! 
You saw the men as they gazed confusedly at their surroundings and the others while you raised your head and saw Peter, webbing up each one up and placing web on their mouths. 
You smirked at him and you could see he was smiling too. It gave you the perfect time to quickly catch one of the guns and bent it in half so they could no longer be used, before spinning around and kicking another guy in the face, throwing him meters back while Peter still was webbing the other ones up.
Peter saw you getting on your feet, feeling like he could breathe again as you were effectively taking them but as he finished webbing up his sixth one, he heard more steps coming your way, more soldiers from the Maggia Family and he knew that if you were there any longer, then it wouldn’t end up good. Peter quickly crawled his way through the wall and began to fire taser-webs as he immobilized the new men that were arriving, skillfully avoiding their bullets while you blasted the rest of them. 
“y/n,” Peter muttered as he avoided the bullets. “We need to get out, now!” 
“You don’t think I know that?” you yelled at him while throwing another gun to the air and then blasting it before you punched one of the guys in the face. 
Peter quickly landed next to you, webbing up one guy that was firing at you non-stop. Webbing his face and pulling it down so he would crash against the floor. You groaned at the bullets but managed to fire back at the other guys. “What are you doing down here!?”
“Let’s go, now!”
You huffed as you quickly stood up, covering Peter who was laying down behind you as he webbed to the floor any of the men that seemed to recover from the hits. You smirked as you saw only ten men missing, knowing exactly the way you could give Kingpin a perfect goodbye. 
“Sorry for ruining the party boys, we need a raincheck!” you announced as the smart missiles rapidly appeared on your shoulders and then were fire to specific parts of the structure, near the men. All of them threw themselves at the floor as the missiles exploded quickly, none of them hurt but soon, the whole club was shaking and all the men were running away from the building as one of the pillars of the structure began to show a crack. 
“We need to go now!”, you yelled at Peter who quickly, under the shadows, shot a couple of webs to Nugent that had woke-up from your blast as he cursed you out. 
“Done!”, Peter said as he took a hold of your hand and you quickly shot the rooftop of the club, causing a hole to appear and flying through it into the sky at maximum speed. 
You managed to look back for a second at the street, exactly at the moment to see Kingpin getting out of a black car. The overly large figure appeared on the streets, a choleric expression was drawn on his face as he saw you fly away. He was wearing a black suit. He had a very prominent ring on his finger as his almost square-shape-like eyebrows framed his glaring eyes that felt like could cut you like glass. 
You felt like his image and the anger he held inside of him, that you could simply tell by looking in his eyes, would haunt you each time you close your eyes. You felt a shiver as you turned your sight back to Peter who was holding you tight and decided to focus on getting to a safe place. 
It didn’t take long for you to get to Stark Tower as you tried to be as silent as possible, knowing that Pepper and Tony could’ve already arrived and wouldn’t be happy to see you in your suit, with multiple scratched of bullets and whatnot. Peter had been holding tightly to you but he hadn’t said a word as you flew through the city. So, when you landed and Peter simply stayed on the floor as you quickly followed him when your suit retracted, it had been quite a peculiar evening. 
Suddenly, he had started chuckling without any notice. “I can’t believe we did that!”
You didn’t know what it was with Peter but the way his chocolate eyes light up and squinted a bit when he smiled broadly, always propped a smile to your face. It felt like almost an instinct to smile with him, to laugh with him and you felt your heartwarming as the seconds passed. 
“We wrecked the whole club!”, you laughed with him. “And you weren’t even wearing your suit!”
“You were great!”, he replied with excitement in his eyes. “You dealt with more than fifteen guys and left them all on the floor!”
Peter laughed more with you as you both laid on the floor, watching the night sky with a classic chill wind of autumn, slowly getting closer and closer. You could feel the warmth of Peter’s body and felt the itch to hold him, to lay your head on his chest as you had usually done for so many years. 
You turned around as you could still see Peter’s smile drawn on his face, your heart clenched as you stood up a bit, gazing back at him with a regretful look on your face. You knew that what you had done wasn’t okay, bring up all drama that should’ve had been left behind long ago. 
“I’m sorry I brought all of our …”, you didn’t know if you could even say relationship but in the end, you couldn’t define it. “All of our mess up”
Peter’s smile softened and he turned serious for a second as he stood up with you and quickly grabbed your hand. 
“y/n, I’m sorry about what happened and I would do anything to turn back time and-”
You shook his hold off you as you looked down. “But you can’t and let’s just… we can leave it at that. We are just, partners now and it’s for the better”
“y/n, please”, Peter pleaded as you stood up, trying to stop you. 
It hurt. 
“Look, I’m not saying that we can’t be friends,” you stated as the lump on your throat grew for a bit, hoping that no tears would escape your eyes this time. “But you moved on and so did I”
Peter felt his heartbreaking on his chest, he sometimes wondered if that’s how you had felt that night. He knew that you were being honest and he didn’t know if he liked this kind of honesty, Peter felt confused, and simply hearing you say that there was nothing he could do, broke him. 
“I…”, Peter protested but you turned around as you walked into the penthouse. 
“Goodnight, Peter”

So I think you’ve talked about your Doc Ock a bit on here... but have you ever encountered any other Ocks in other dimensions? How do they match up to yours?
Yes, I have. Doctor Octopus might not be exactly a universal constant, but it's certainly a common enough title that I've crossed paths with a fair number of them. I'm going to give a short little rundown of each of them, and why they should go to hell. This is gonna be a salty list. If you didn't want that, you should've come to someone else.
The Otto Octavius of Earth-1512 was the first alternate Ock I ever encountered. Unlike most of the Ocks on this list, I don't know or care what his deal is--I just spent an hour in my first ever alternate universe before I saw a man in armored green and yellow throwing cars around with mechanical tentacles. He was also working with the Green Goblin and holding civilians hostage at the time, which in my opinion is reason enough to put him in the ICU like I did. I've never been back to this universe and never will, but presumably he's just doing the same shit every month or so.
The Otto Octavius of Earth-8363, colloquially called God Ock because I guess we can't fucking help but stroke his ego, was the Ock I met during my first outing with what'd eventually be the Cluster. He's a weird edge case. First we fought a robotic duplicate of him, then his actual self after he'd done the dumbest thing I've ever seen an Ock do and integrated an extradimensional energy source into his fucking body in a bid for omnipotence. I suspect he was already basically dead when Gwen ripped the Shard out, but he had a backup personality on a secret hard drive and so we've met his AI self. He agrees it wasn't his smartest move. Still, fuck this guy. He apparently stabbed my alternate self in the back so he deserves what he got.
Oliver Octavius, of Earth-42711a, isn't a doctor. I refuse to call him Doctor Octopus, but he's calling himself that because he claims to be the son of Otto Octavius. Knowing Otto, I'm more than a little skeptical of that claim, but that doesn't change the fact that in a bid to be just like Daddy he dropped out of college to become a supervillain. When Melly noted that this plan was less than stellar he interpreted that as a personal betrayal and has sworn revenge on her. He's temperamental, idolizing of a man he's never met, and has an ego more fragile than sugar glass--and he's not even good at villainy. I walked into his lair, kicked his ass, and walked out again in less than five minutes. Oliver's pathetic. And he knows it, because he's scrambling to compensate with a desperation that anyone with half a brain can see is going to kill him very, very soon.
The Otto Octavius of Earth-22701 needs to fucking leave Morgan alone. The Peter Parker of that universe died like a century ago, and that Otto's engineered a way to stop aging so he doesn't even need to fight superheroes anymore. But no, he reads about a kid in New Orleans with my powers and decides that that's obviously his dead enemy having, I dunno, reincarnated or something. Instead of being the result of the spider-related experiments that he funded. I don't have a lot of respect for this Otto's intelligence. I've only met him in-person once, when I was going on the warpath and beating up everyone who's ever tried to kill Morgan, but for some reason having an actual Peter Parker knock two of his teeth out wasn't enough to deter him from his theory about Morgan being me. I'll try again as soon as I get a chance.
Odyssia Octavius, the Ock of Earth-777, is probably the least scientist and most mad of all the mad scientists here. Also the one who leans the hardest into the Octopus aesthetic, because alone among the Ocks she's a marine biologist. Now, unlike certain counterparts of mine I could mention, I actually don't give a fuck about her decision to serve an eldritch sea monster for power. Nor am I opposed to her overall goal--obviously we gotta save the environment, and obviously we're gonna have to fuck up some industries to make that happen. That's fine. My problems with her are more related to her habit of painfully twisting people she's got a grudge on into horrific monsters and then siccing said monsters on the populace. Even if that wasn't fucking abominable and evil beyond all recompense, it doesn't exactly convey the green message she's trying to go for. Maybe the Writhing One is modifying her logic to suit its own ends, using her as a puppet to get what it wants. Maybe she just fucking sucks. I've only ever spoken to her through the Internet, but if we ever meet face to face I'll be sure to ask which one it is right after I kick her ass and rip off big handfuls of that magic tattoo.
October Otto, the Doctor Octopus of Earth-2, is the only person in this list who I'm not inclined to attack on sight. It took me a little while to get to that point--when the me of Earth-2, Pax, introduced us I was pretty suspicious. But out of all the Ocks I've ever met, this is the only one who's not...nefarious. They're a little eccentric, more than a little shy, but overall a very well-meaning and selfless biologist. I'm glad I met them, even if their tentacles make me a little nauseous to think about. They and I still communicate occasionally, and after what happened to Pax I've been checking in with them to ask about their progress on a cure. This is one of the few people with whom I've ever felt the need to share my files on the Oz virus. I hope it does them good.
With the exception of October, all of these people are fucking awful. But none of them are as dangerous or as detestable as the Otto Octavius of Earth-61610.
The Otto I know is an unrivalled genius. His entire existence is devoted to biorobotics, and over the years he's integrated man and machine on a level that makes the Iron Man armor look like a remote-controlled action figure. He's modified his tentacles to counter my super speed, he's designed and redesigned a zillion different personal helpers, he's made himself the center of a technological superpower controlled solely by his mind. And unlike a lot of Ocks, he's not being manipulated by his tentacles. Nor was he driven insane by the accident that fused them to his body. No, this is a perfectly sane, rational prosthesis engineer who got so frustrated with the bounds of the law that he decided he had the right to start snapping necks.
He's a futurist, is the thing. A man with a grand vision of the technological utopia he could turn the world into, who thinks without a shadow of doubt that he knows what's best for the world and everyone in it, and who's decided that if you try to stop him from realizing that vision that the best thing to do is Remove you from the equation. Worse, he's written off massive swaths of the human race off as expendable--as little people whose lives are a perfectly acceptable sacrifice to bring about his future, who maybe even should be thanking him for the chance to finally mean something.
Every Octobot contains at least a few pieces of human brain. He kidnaps people, lobotomizes them, and integrates parts of their central nervous system into his systems to make his robots more adaptable and independent than purely mechanical systems could be. He's seeded mass-produced medicine with nanotech that hijacked the nervous system of the people who took it and turned them into unconscious parts of a worldwide neural network. On more than one occasion, he's tried to turn entire cities into his own personal laboratories, and everyone inside into lab rats.
Otto Octavius is a monster. No other Ock I've ever met even comes close.

Fake Dating- Peter Parker x Stark!Reader
Request:  Hi! Can you write a Stark!Reader x Peter Parker (Andrew please) were they’re fake dating because May was starting to catch onto the Spider-Man gig? They end up catching feelings and are scared to admit it? I hope this made sense! Thank you!
Word Count: 1.5k
A/N; id love some feedback on this! and let me know if youd like a part 2
Tumblr media
“So, let me get this straight” Peter nodded for you to continue “You want to fake date?” He nodded again. You gave him a questioning look. “Care to explain or no?”.
“Right, right. So, Aunt May is starting to catch on. The other day, I came home all dirty from helping people and she looked at me like I just killed someone. So, you know about the spiderman thing so that's not a problem. And since your my best friend” He gave a sweet smile “i figure, when she finds out we've been ‘dating’ she’ll think thats why Ive been acting strange.” He explained like it made absolute sense. It didn't. You were contemplating throwing him off of the roof you where stood on.
“righttttt...” You looked at him strangely. “How do you know it'll work?” you had a feeling this was gonna go very wrong.
“well, you know- you know, she's aunt May, shell believe it” There was also another problem.
“You know if my dad gets wind of this he will literally kill you right? Like he will 100 percent get all the avengers to murder you, and then he’ll bring you back to life, then re-kill you himself” You stated dramatically. He paled then gave you a look. That look. The look that he had given you for the last 5 years. The ‘im right just trust me on this one’ look. 9 times out of ten he wasn't right. But for the sake of both of you, you hoped this was the one time he was right.
“Fine fine, ill be your fake girlfriend or whatever” You groaned leaning into his shoulder.
“Wow, (Y/N) act more believable” He joked.
“Ah, Peter Parker, of course ill be your fake girlfriend!” You laughed loudly, shoving him.
“Shh, she might hear you!” He joined in, throwing his head back in laughter. After the laughter died down, you lay your head on Peters shoulder. You looked out into the sunset. It made you feel weird. Peter Parker's girlfriend. No. Peter Parker's fake girlfriend.
As the night was getting late, you decided to make your walk home, not before making your ‘relationship’ very clear to Aunt May. She was sat in the living room as Peter walked you to the door. As he opened the door for you, May looked your way, so you stood on your tiptoes and pressed a quick kiss to Peters lips before scurrying out the door. He lifted a finger to his lips and blushed. Obviously Aunt May, who’d known you for 5 years and had never seen you kiss Peter, had some questions.
“Peter? What was that about?” Her question pulled him out of his romantic state. Its just because she's your best friend, He told himself.
“uh-h” He awkwardly laughed. Why was he so hopeless. “She's my girlfriend, now, actually” He mumbled tentatively. Before he knew it, Aunt May had gotten up and swooped him into a hug.
“I always knew you two had something going on!” She cheered. He furrowed his brows but hugged back nonetheless. Why would she think that? He shrugged of the thought and told Aunt May he was going to bed.
“Hey Parker! Hows ‘the plan’ going?” You jogged up to him as he made is way through the school corridors, clutching his camera. “She believe it?”
“y-yeah she did” He noted as you fist pumped the air. He thought you looked amazingly beautiful today. As you two stepped outside, he spotted a cleared bench, he longed to take a photo of you.
“(Y/N)?” He asked getting your attention. “Stand righttttt there” He pointed towards the clear bench as you happily jogged over and stood on it. Peter had always taken photos of you, but today it felt different. For him at least.
“Like this?” You giggled as you struck a pose.
“Yeah yeah, exactly like that” he threw his head back in laughter as he snapped plenty of photos at your ridiculous poses.
“(Y/N)! Parker!” Your photography fun was immediately stopped by the dreaded voice of Flash Thompson, making his way over.
“uh oh” You whispered to Peter as he helped you jump from the bench.
“I hear she's your new girlfriend” Flash nodded towards you, grinning devilishly. You and Peter looked at each other.
“Yeah- Yeah she is” He was trying to be brave. It wasn't working very well.
“Lay off, Flash” You both turned your heads your Gwen Stacey, the girl Peter had been crushing on for a few weeks. Although, he didn't feel like that any more.
“Come on, Gwen. You cant seriously believe this can you. Little Peter Parker dating famous Tony Stark’s beautiful, intelligent daughter?” You felt disgusted at his comment, so did Gwen. “Does Daddy even know? Nah, he couldn't, Parker would be dead by now. Or has Daddy just lost his game? Not as strong as he used to be. You could feel that Peter was about to say something out of anger, so you quickly moved your hand to hold his, even though anger was coursing through your veins
“Listen, Flash Thompson” The group of students surrounding the scene got slowly bigger. “im not dating ‘little Peter Parker’ im dating Peter Parker, a guy who is 10 times more smart and intelligent and handsome as you'll ever be. So why don't you go listen to Mommy’ nodding towards Gwen. “And lay off. Oh wait! You don't have a Mommy” You made a mock sad face then giggled. The entire group was in shock, even Peter. Okay maybe it was a bit uncalled for, but he shouldn't have insulted your dad.
Flashs’ face turned magenta as he balled his fist and tried to throw a punch. You ducked under his fist. Your dad had taught you to fight once you could walk.
“Wow! You just tried to hit a girl” You smiled incredulously, while Flash was still bright red. “Thats fine, im all for feminism, ya know, equal rights equal fights” You said nonchalantly. “You shouldn't have punched Tony Starks daughter though” You added, right as your fist connected with his jaw and our foot connected with his nether regions. You grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back as the ever expanding group cheered. Just as you were about to stand on top him, Peter grabbed you and pulled you away.
“Okay, enough fighting, avengers style” He dragged you inside the hallway.
“He deserved it for what he was saying” You grumbled.
“Im sure he did but-” Peter paused as he saw the principle and two concerned looking teachers, making their way down the hallway. “Rain check?” He whispered.
“Yep!” You whispered back as you jumped onto his back and he sped of, out of the school.
“You have to admit, it was pretty cool” You grinned at Peter as he fixed up the cuts on your knuckles.
“It was cool. You knocked out Flash Thompson. ‘The’ Flash Thompson. But you got yourself hurt in the process” He whined.
“Wow, Mr ‘im-spiderman-and-i-risk-my-life-everyday Is telling me about danger, okay I see how it is” You joked.
“You know what I mean” He grinned. As he finished wrapping your hands, you heard footsteps coming upstairs. “Its Aunt May. What do we do?” Before you could think of anything, you instinctively brought his lips to yours and your hand fell into his hair. He kissed back passionately, like his entire life had been leading up to this moment. It sent a flurry of butterflies into your stomach. He felt the same thing. His lips tingled and his hand lay on your waist. You had officially caught feelings. And so had he. You heard the door open and kept your eyes tightly shut and lips moving.
“You got into a fi-” You furrowed your brows, that didn't sound like Aunt May. You moved away from Peters loving kiss to face the door. The second you saw who it was your face turned bright red, you were done for.
“Dad?!” You shrieked. Peter was drawn from his daze, dreaming of you beautiful lips, by your loud voice.
“Mr. Stark” He almost fell out of his chair at the sight of Tony Stark, Happy and Aunt May, all stood in the door in shock.
“Alright, Spiderling, hands off my daughter” Your dad hurried over and grasped your hand, gently shoving you out the room. Of course Tony Stark knew about him.
“s-see you later, Parker” You muttered. After Tony left, Aunt May shut the door awkwardly, returning to living room. And once, he was left alone with his thoughts. His thoughts about you.
