ִֶָ. ..𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ🦇་༘࿐

ﾟ ⋆ ﾟhobie brown ☂︎ ⋆ ﾟhe honestly is ok with the fact that you’re a vampire. he thinks that’s it hardcore and such an anachronist move. whenever you feel a bit thirsty and needs your patch of blood, he’ll simply web you down to the local streets of london, and let you have it at criminals and bad guys. of course, the sex is ten times more intense, with you wanting to bite him, but choosing not to. but he insists, telling you to let your inner rebel out, and let the fangs reign over him. you promised him that you’re the only man that you won’t bite or kill, and you also agreed with him that you want hurt any of his friends (miles, pav, peter b, miguel..) you’re so happy that you’re dating such a supercool and awesome spiderman, and he’s so against the rules. and he’s so happy that he’s dating such a hot ass vampire chick, that eats whoever she wants, and doesn’t care of what comes in her way. you two are such a perfect match <3.

ﾟ ⋆ ﾟjennifer check ☂︎ ⋆ ﾟjennifer thinks you’re hot. she thinks that she found her perfect match, with her being a succubus, and she wants you to and join her on her killing spree sometimes. it’s so fun seeing two girlfriends kill unsuspecting boys using their fangs and super strength. she’ll take you back to her place, whenever you both are done, and things escalate from there. even if you can do this, she’ll always try and protect you from any harm that comes your way. she already lost herself, she doesn’t want to love another thing that she loves in her life. arguments over who’s the better supernatural tend to happen, and it often ends with one of you sleeping on the couch, but she’s quick to make amends and ask for cuddles. you both go for midnight flys, chasing after each other in the clouds, and playing hide and seek. you also talk about your traumas on how you died, and then reassure each other that you’re loved and here for one another, and jennifer promises you that she’ll never leave you.

ﾟ ⋆ ﾟmaddy perez ☂︎ ⋆ ﾟmaddy is lowkey terrified of you, but she still tries to manage with you anyways. move over nate, you’re the person that’s worth defending from anybody. but you’re not letting her be your pushover, you vowed to protect maddy from any toxic ex boyfriends, back stabbing best friends, harsh and strict mothers, and just anyone that tries to do her the wrong way. even thought dating a vampire has its advantages, you two do get into arguments. she doesn’t want you coming to parties, because she’s scared that you might go after her friends, especially you trying to go after cassie or rue. and, she’s also afraid for your wellbeing if you get a hangover. she believe the whole vampire myth of sunlight, and tries to keep you away from any alcohol as possible. you also get mad her, telling her that she’s not your mom, and often leave her place in the middle of the night. but you came crawling back and beg for her forgiveness. she forgives you<3

ﾟ ⋆ ﾟbilly loomis ☂︎ ⋆ ﾟhe thinks you’re a dream come true. he was quick to believe the whole vampire myths about sunlight, garlic, and steaks and stuff. but you just tell him that you’re not dracula or from twilight, and tell him the realities of being a vampire. billy is so sweet with you, whenever you’re feeling hungry, he goes out as ghostface and lures them to you, basically bringing you a midnight snack <33 you both go out your way to make anyone deadmeat, if they try and talk bad about each of you. he tells stu about you, and stu is always making a vampire type of pun, even in front of people, almost blowing your cover. billy had to smack him a few times for that. billy’s blood kink with you, goes a thousand times higher up in bed. always telling you to dig your fangs deeper, so deep.. so deep that it’ll cause some blood. he knows you like blood. he’ll go out his way to gut anyone like a fish for you, just so you can have blood.

ﾟ ⋆ ﾟjohnny cage ☂︎ ⋆ ﾟjohnny cage lives in a world, where can throw hands with the ruler of the sun, and flirt with the beautiful yet equally terrifying nitara. if you not being a vampire isn’t any different, then he’s not sure what else is. he’s your golden retriever type of boyfriend, always wanting your attention, even when you’re out for a snack. you just deadass look at this man, trying to flex his muscles and wiggle his eyebrows at you, when your face is literally covered in an innocent person’s blood. he’s also being so affectionate with you, suffocating you with hugs and kisses, posting you on his social media the minute you breathe, and always talking about you to his friends. sure, he may be suffocating and annoying, but deep down you love your movie star boyfriend. but of course, you wear the pants in this relationship. the second he steps out of line, you bring the fangs and scary eyes out, and he backs up and apologizes immediately.

Punkflower

So I've been itching to make some Punkflower fanfiction but i'm not too sure about my writing skills, so I'll post the first chapter here before i commit to AO3.

Summary: Hobie doesn't like the way Gwen handled the situation with Miles, especially after getting to know the guy better. It was messed up, and their friendship is on tense terms. Miles is still reeling from the emotional whiplash from Gwen, one minute feeling betrayed to being thankful, but forgiving her will be hard and he doesn't know if their friendship will ever bounce back into what it was. Luckily he has someone who has had his back from day 1.

"I Don't Like Your Girlfriend"

“You really like this guy huh?”

“Oh my god, shut up Hobie!”

“ I will when ya shut up about that spider from 1610.”

Hobie could see the light blush on Gwen’s cheeks as she turned her head with a huff. It was a bit endearing how her face would scrunch up at the thought of her own feelings, but Hobie knew she wouldn’t allow herself to admit them.

“You know it’s not like that.”

“You care a lot about him, Gwendy, you can admit that much.”

“That’s the scary part, Hobie! I can’t see him again and admitting to myself that I could have..feelings for him would just cause me more heartache. Also, Miguel wouldn’t..” she trailed off.

Hobie had a bitter taste in his mouth. He’s aware of the underlying statement. Miguel already thinks Gwen’s a liability if anything involving Miles Morales occurred, and he would not hesitate to throw her back into the very situation he saved her from if she tried to contact Miles. Gwen would be alone again, and this time, permanently.

He sighed and thought of what he would do if he had such a deep connection to someone, if he had what Gwen had. It's not that he doesn't have anyone close to him, he had Gwen and his bandmates after all, but the way Gwen described her bond with Miles made Hobie ache for something similar. To have a connection forged in mutual hardship, where both parties come out as changed people. To meet and have an initial spark so strong that it would set fire to all aspects of his life afterward. 

             If Hobie had been in Gwen's shoes, he wouldn't have stayed away from Earth 1610. He would've disassembled the watch to reverse engineer one for himself and jump right through the portal back into Miles’s world. (Not that he wasn't working on it now, he hates the idea of multidimensional travel being monopolized.)

             But Gwen was in a delicate situation and right now craved approval from adult figure- that's where they differed. Hobie could tell that if she had to choose between Miles and the Society, she would most likely choose the Society. The idea of that made him a bit sick, knowing that Miles would be betrayed and alone if Gwen didn't play her cards right. He would be all alone, just like Gwen had been, and the worse part, he might never know of the betrayal.

           He would give her time to make her decision, but Hobie would also be making his own. If Miguel starts shit with Miles for being an anomaly, Hobie would be there to help him. If Miguel decided that shunning Miles wasn’t enough and actively went to attack him, Hobie would do everything he could to stop him. The idea that the Society is trying to squash out an outlier to defend the so-called canon went against everything Hobie stood for. 

He just hoped that if it ever came down to Gwen sticking with HQ and Hobie with Miles, their friendship could be salvaged.

           From what Gwen shared, Miles was the type of Spiderman who couldn't be held down when he made up his mind. When everyone ganged up on him, he found a way to prove to them that he was capable of lifting the mantle. (Not that Hobie approved of the other spiders' methods. Actually, he hated the thought of them refusing to help him at such a low point in his life. He truly believes that Miles didn't need to prove himself because, in Hobie's mind, he proved himself by instantly jumping to help send the other Spiders back.) Miles went against everything thrown at him saying he wasn't ready and instead defied the expectations and did it his own way.

            That's pretty punk of him.

Spiderman ATSV Predictions

YALL PLEASE I NEED EVERYONES OPINION ON THIS BIG BRAIN MOMENT I JUST HADDDDDD. PLEASE SEND THIS TO UR FRIENDS AND GET IT AROUND I NEED TO DISCUSS THIS PREDICTION THAT LITERALLY FLEW INTO MY BRAIN IDK IF ANYONE HAS THOUGHT OF THIS ALREADY SO LMKKKK!!!!!!!

OKAY SO- imma calm down now.

My idea was basically that Captain Morales won't die nor need to die in BTSV BECAUSE (Im assuming here) the previous Peter Parker has had the canon events occur to him ALREADY. THIS MEANS IF MILES CHOOSES TO STRAY FROM THE CANON, THEN EARTH 1610 WON'T EXPERIENCE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION! BECAUSE THE CANON EVENTS OF A POLICE CAPTAIN CLOSE TO SPIDER-MAN DIES HAS ALREADY OCCURRED!!!

Also if there is no Spider-Man on Earth 42, how come this universe hasn't collapsed (if that makes sense) because the canon events can't be fulfilled, BUILDING ON TO THIS POINT. Considering that Earth-42 hasn't combusted yet, DOES THIS MEAN A SPIDER-PERSON COULD POSSIBLY BE PRESENT OR BE BITTEN?!?! Also if I'm missing something or am wrong please let me know! <333

Also btw if anyone wants to be mutuals lmk and i can give u my discord :D because i have no one to speak about ATSV with :/ ANYHOW GIVE ME UR OPINIONS <3333

[altruistic-meme]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...

hi dear!!! i definitely don't mind AT ALL i love getting questions!!!! i probably have answered this question before, but this is one of those things that's subject to change pretty often as i find new characters and they take over from older ones :] so i will probably never give the exact same answer twice dksvjsdfh

ok ok that said, let me see... in no particular order:

Damianos of Akielos (Book: Captive Prince trilogy) quite literally THE man of all time. THE man of my dreams. he is such a beautifully written character who is so complex and interesting to read!! he is so gentle and caring despite his size, and he has a confidence i can only aspire to.

Neil Josten (Book: All For The Game trilogy) unhinged maniac 🧡 no but genuinely he is such a good main character. everything about him and his narration pulls you in to the story. he is the most unreliable narrator. his perspective is so skewed. also my namesake!!

Nakahara Chuuya (Anime/Series: Bungo Stray Dogs) i may or may not have somewhat of an obsession with him right now. he is literally so pretty that i throw my phone. but also he is so unbearably human in an incredibly tragic way, and he is that way because he actively chooses to be. he is a high ranking member of the mafia and he loves dogs and he promised his dying friend that he would save someone else and he is so loyal and bright. i am going to stop while im ahead bc 90% of my thoughts right now are about Chuuya so i could genuinely go on forever.

Victor Nikiforov (Anime: Yuri!!! ON Ice) he is so sad

Hinata Shoyo (Anime: Haikyuu!!) he is just so fucking BRIGHT!!! unlike Victor, Hinata is the exact opposite of me in almost every sense. it is so hard for me to watch anyone else when he's on the screen. he is just joy and energy incarnate and i want to be his friend so bad.

Spiderman (TV Show/Movie/Comic) this is a cheat because it's just. every iteration of spiderman. i love him. just your friendly neighborhood spiderman!! i have such a soft spot for Miles Morales' spiderman in particular due to the spiderverse movies, but i also really loved all of the live action spiderman movies. and we can't forget the tv show!!!

Prince Wilhelm (Show: Young Royals) fucking babygirl. yet another sad wet cat of a character who i project onto immensely. he is just so complex and interesting and so real and flawed and just. listen. having the weight of the world rest on your shoulders as you struggle with trying to make friends and fight your anxiety and handle your mother all by yourself is something i have dealt with too. i can't put into words all my thoughts about him right now, but rest assured there are More.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (Book: How to Train Your Dragon series) don't get me wrong, i love the movie version of him as well, but they are such different characters. and the book version of Hiccup has an incredibly special place in my heart. httyd is such a comfort read for me, and it was huge for me getting to grow up with Hiccup. he is just a fucking little guy and he goes through so much. but he keeps going. he didn't deserve any of it and he fights so hard to make sure no one else has to go through it like he did. gods i love him.

Charlie Spring (Comic: Heartstopper) same as with Hiccup, i love him in the show as well but to me the characters are so different and i just relate so much more to the comic version of him! he is a mess and i love him and relate to him. i wish i had what he has. i am also so proud of how far he has come!! and he reminds me to be proud of myself, too. also see; sassy motherfucker.

Kenai (Movie: Brother Bear) a strange choice, maybe, but this movie means SO much to me. it is a huge comfort movie. and Kenai, by virtue of being the main character, clearly gets the leg up as the favorite. but it's so amazing seeing him grow as a person (or. well. bear). he's funny, he tries so hard, he wants so much. and he's just a kid!! he learns so much!!

there are definitely some patterns in my favorite characters that i am going to choose not to look too closely at :') i have so many characters i adore. this was so hard ;;;

[atlabeth]

It happens the very first time Gwen ends up in Nueva York, a member of Spider Society. 

Her father has all but disowned her, choosing to believe that Spiderwoman—that his daughter —is a murderer, leaving her staring down the barrel of a gun and with the memory of unblinking blue eyes filled with fear and the wrong kind of determination. 

Slipping on the wrist band felt like the point of no return, and Gwen didn’t look back before she went through the portal. She couldn’t . 

And it was overwhelming, sure. Gwen followed Miguel and Jess through the marvel that was Spider-HQ, and normally she would have been amazed at it all. At what was meant to be her new life, taking down anomalies and saving people and proving that she was worthy of her power. 

But all Gwen could think of was her dad’s expression and his wavering aim, the vice steadily closing in on her insides. Nothing she could do would be enough. 

Miguel was spouting off some tour-guidey bullshit that would explain what she had just signed up for, where she was, who was part of this ‘elite’ team, but she didn’t hear a single thing. 

That is, until—

“Gwen?” 

It was a breathless sort of exclamation, the kind that crushed your heart and lungs and wouldn’t let go. She turned her head, stopping in her tracks though Miguel and Jessica continued on without notice.

She frowned almost on instinct. This was her first time here—she was a damn good Spiderwoman, but not so good for multiversal renown. At least, she thought. How would anyone know her name?

It was nothing new, another Spiderman variant which was the least surprising thing here, but he looked as if he’d seen a ghost. 

“Uh, yeah.” She blinked. “Can I help you?” 

“You’re—” He blinked too, as if confused why he’d even called out to her. “You’re alive.” 

She stared back. “Yeah.” 

He opened his mouth, shut it, and opened it again, but he didn’t get the chance when Gwen felt a hand on her arm and turned around. 

“Hey,” Jessica said, her gaze not fully focused, “you coming?” 

“Yeah.” Gwen nodded, blinked again, though she turned around for a moment to look back at the Spiderman. He was gone, leaving her only with more confusion. She nodded again, a bit too rapidly, and managed a smile at Jess as she started walking again. “Yeah. I’m good.” 

Jess didn’t look convinced, but she must have been able to tell that she wasn’t going to get anything else out of her. Maternal instincts or something. 

Gwen smiled and nodded and asked the questions she was meant to for the rest of the tour, listened to Miguel and marveled at Jessica and vowed not to use her newly found powers for evil or, even worse, the mundane. 

She wondered briefly if Miguel would know if she went to visit Miles every once in a while. Surely, it couldn’t hurt. 

But amidst it all, between the portal-creating and the variant introducing and the vow swearing, Gwen couldn’t stop thinking of the Spiderman who looked like he’d seen a ghost when he looked at her. 

-

It happens the second time and the third time and the fourth and every goddamned time Gwen Stacy visits Spider HQ. 

It doesn’t matter how long she’s there, how quickly she runs down the pathways, how she tries to stand close to Hobie so no one will notice her or asks Pavitr to talk loudly to distract them from her while they bring in the latest anomaly—the only thing that seems to work is her mask. 

She always gets at least one stricken look from a variant of Spiderman. Sometimes it’s dozens, all just staring at her when she passes. 

Eventually, she marches up to Miguel O’Hara and asks him what the hell is going on and why are Spider-people so fond of staring? 

First, he tells her off for interrupting his work. And then he sits her down and shatters her world. 

It turns out, because of course it does, that Gwen Stacy of Earth 65 is the only Gwen Stacy that gets the privilege of a radioactive spider. 

Every other one dies. Every other one falls for Peter Parker and dies. 

Every single Gwendolyn Maxine Stacy in every single universe is dead. The reason why she gets grief-stricken looks from Peter Parkers, you-look-like-you’ve-just-seen-a-ghost looks, is because they have. 

To them, she is a ghost. 

Gwen supposed it made sense. She didn’t know why it had to be her—no, the universe’s grudge against Gwen Stacys didn’t make sense—but their grief did. 

Their Gwen was dead—for days, months, years—and yet they still felt that shred of hope when they saw her. A flashback to their teenage years with the blonde-haired girl that made their eyes twinkle and their heart sing, or maybe a life like the one they’d been living before the spider’s curse of unhappiness set in. 

Gwen got it. She understood. There was a reason she hated how many Peter Parkers there were, especially the teenaged ones with brown hair and kind eyes and beating hearts. 

Eventually, they get over it. Or maybe they don’t, and they just realize that they can’t keep putting the weight of infinite dead Gwens on her back just because she has the same face and the same name. They start greeting her, a cheerful call of her name or a high five or shoulder bump or, for the ones she likes the most, handshakes in increasing elaboration. 

And she got used to it—Gwen liked it, that the more villains she took down and more anomalies she sent back, the more smiling and familiar faces she saw in HQ. Every stupid handshake and fistbump and double high five loosened the vice—even if she didn’t have a home to go back to, she would make this one. 

But it never really faded, the thought of who she was for so many spider people. Who she might end up as. 

Some people in her universe had been calling her Spiderwoman, Spidergirl, the girl that won’t stop causing property damage . She didn’t mind those names.

Some, though—they took one look at her white mask and white costume and dubbed her Ghost-spider. 

She has the same face and the same name as the countless Gwens in other universes. 

The darkest part of Gwen can’t help but wonder if she’ll end up with the same fate. 

[hellogoodbyeitsme]

The real difference between this spiderman, and all the other spider-people, is that the others all had to go through it alone. They had to witness countless traumas alone, and it's partly because they all have the same "I won't let anyone suffer like I have" mindset. They choose to suffer so others won't have to, and that's (in my opinion) a core trait in becoming a spider person.

In Miles' case, the second he becomes spiderman, he has people breathing down his neck telling him to ignore that gut instinct to protect and save others from pain and suffering, because they want to be the ones to suffer for him.

Miles is absolutely a normal spiderman, but the problem is that spiderpeople will search for any reason to be The One Suffering For Your Sake, and he's surrounded by people doing this. Not letting him protect anyone, forcing him only to Be Protected.

It broke things apart in the first movie on a small scale, and then on a much much larger scale in the second. Spiderpeople can't work with other spiderpeople, because they just can't stand seeing anyone else suffer if they can be the one suffering.

Okay so- SPIDERVERSE SPOILERS and a big rant

My heart hurts for miles so bad-

He's clearly been missing his friends. To the point he went through the effort of painting them on a freaking wall. That he was basing his future on finding a way to meet them. He wanted to meet them so badly..

..only to find out that they have been meeting without him? That they could have met him before but didn't? They found out some serious shit about him, discussed it with each other and took away his right to know?

As if that wasn't bad enough, the fact that despite doing everything he can to fulfil his role of spiderman, to find out that no one considers him spiderman? The way everyone snubbed him was so cruel. Hardly anyone in the spider society was willing to talk to him. The way Jesse said ' I know who you are' as if Miles was some criminal was completely unnecessary. When they all met Miguel, the way Gwen and Peter were talking, trying to calm Miguel down as if Miles had done something awful and Miles is just so confused because GWEN DIDN'T TELL HIM SHIT

She jeopardised her mission to meet Miles. Told him all about her job. Lied blatantly about said job. Fulfilled her wish to meet Miles. Left him with so many questions. He followed her through the dimension, not bc he was overcome with curiosity, but bc he could see that she was troubled and wanted to help. Even then, she doesn't tell him anything. The fact that he basically stands trial infront of Miguel, and doesn't know anything about the supposed crime he's committed- all the while the one person he considers a friend could have told him but she didn't. It was a classic case of tell him before he finds out the wrong way. And he did.

Gwen herself is in a bad position, yes. But then why meet Miles at all? She was clearly having a great time making friends with difference spidermen and spider women and going on missions. She can't even deny that she agreed with miguel. Remember that scene where Pav, Miles and Gwen meet spot and he says 'hello spiderman' and Gwen and Pav say hi back and he says 'not you' and gwen and pav don't even think of Miles- who's right bw them WEARING A SPIDERMAN COSTUME. A part of Gwen stopped seeing Miles as spiderman too. The fact she didn't respect his right to be in the know, to decide for himself. If she'd told him about how everyone views him, he probs would not have followed her, let alone go to HQ and face miguel. She didn't have to tell him about everything that's canon even. Just the part about the spiderman being from a different dimension. It would have hurt, but not as much as being chased by a mob and getting beat up and told the worst news ever. Not as much as trying to get home to save your father, only to watch as some AH tries to claw open the portal you're leaving in while you can clearly see your friends not even lift a finger to stop him.

Gwen definitely hurt Miles. Which is unusual bc isn't spiderman the one who usually messes up with the girl in some way? Usually, spiderman either pisses her off, hurts her or tries to get away from her as much as he can. This time, Gwen did that. She truly did hurt Miles with her actions. And I truly doubt that he'll go back to normal with any of them, even if the team does succeed in stopping spot and saving his dad.

On another note, spider byte and hobi are star characters. The way they went out of their way for miles- screw the love triangle shit its completely unnecessary. These are the kind of friends Miles needs, who respected that he had the right to choose and didn't take the side of an AH like Miguel to get in his way.

[perfusio]

Really love this post, I feel like everyone is going insane and Nsfw Miguel is gonna get out of the Tumblr page and make weird noise, I hate it.

But yeah, agreeing a lot of what you're saying ^^ just wanted to add,

1/ Miguel is just piling in his dimension hundreds upon hundred of Spiderman which seems dumb as hell. Sure they have the watch, but the dimension where the spidersociety is squatting in, must ( for his logic to work ) have some insane canon envent or whatever. To contain them all in it, to keep them in it, to monitor other spidermans with it, is purely insane.

2/ even if his shit was real and miles shouldnt be Spidey and blabla, it's not Miles fault, it's Spot and doctor Octavia that began all this, with their first manipulation of space and displacing, 42 spider in our Miles universe. Miles has no control in all this

3/ whyyyyyyy did they engage Gwen ? I mean she ask them to come and all but, Gwen is not jaded enough for this, and even not " canon events " jaded for it. The death of the loved captain or whatever seems kinda of a push toward nihilism, and maybe explain why the majority of Spiderman are adults despite Spiderman being a teenager as it's own premice.

I mean all Gwen can do is keeping herself from her own dimension ( I mean her dad tried to arrest her and all and shes terrified of having no one left but come on ) ( knowing her dad will inevitably die by her fault ) and therefore keeping a canon event from happening.

It's not just the fact her dad stopped being a cop that prevent him from dying, but also the fact she litterally removed herself from the narrative. No Spiderwoman for her dimension ( it should break something but it doesn't)

4) knowing the plot twist is probably that miles 42 was supposed to become Spiderman and our Miles Spiderman, the crawler, it's safe to say that canon events are bs and more like a bit in music booth.

5/ Miguel casually strolled in someone's else dimension, trick the kid of the other deceased Miguel into thinking he is her dad, and for reason of " canoooooon eveeeents " the universe collapse. For as much as I think you're right and he is not deceiving them on purpose , that's really vague.

( I kinda of think that why everything did go to shit is because he didn't master dimension jump and dimension stability at that point or something like that)

6/ he was like every single spider man deep in the spider society brain wash had a proper introduction. He had his tag and all, but like Jess, none of the comics. Maybe it's becose they re not the teenager Spiderman ( aka real Spiderman) who are introduced with their comics and their art styles and what they are, etc, but that strike me as, we have removed ourselves from the narrative.

We're no longer in the comic book format, no longer part of a story, no actor in our own life, we're the writers and have decided the bit. That what's defined a Spiderman and maybe that self awareness so removed from the story, it's what prevent them from a proper introduction. BecaUe they're no longer " real Spiderman", too meta for their character.

Also if Miguel is right, none this two movies make sense, choose your destiny, become Spiderman because it can be anyone, etc etc, none of this matter because one guy is unable to process his emotion in an healthy way and instead try to his control on everything and everyone.

Curious, What’s ur beef with Miguel

you asked for it. slightly long post ahead i'm so sorry

WARNING: ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

i have spent the last several days ranting and raving about about Spiderverse related things and like. I have such a complicated relationship with this movie, but THAT'S FOR ANOTHER POST IF SOMEONE ASKS LMAO but Miguel. Miguel O'Hara. Miguel.

I HATE HIS HOLOGRAM SUIT WITH NOTHING UNDERNEATH ASSS HE'S SO. WAGHGGHGAGK Like I know a lot of people do like him and there's stuff to like but I just don't see the appeal, and I'm also slightly biased because I can't enter the Spiderverse tag without seeing unfiltered Miguel NSFW LMAO

The first thing I thought after watching the movie was that it felt like he wasn't like... built up to enough? Like, my writer brain never turns off, and from a writing perspective it felt kinda weird. A lot of things in the movie did, but to me it just felt like there wasn't enough intro to him. Like he's supposed to be important but we don't like. i dunno HEJGKHKFL it sort of felt like we were already supposed to know a lot about him. WHICH I GUESS IS FAIR MAYBE THEY EXPECT ACTUAL SPIDER FANS TO COME IN AND KNOW WHO HE IS and I'm only a Spiderverse fan.

Miguel does have really charming and funny moments! Like, in the beginning Gwen section of the movie, he's got pretty funny dialogue while still remaining stern. He's got kind of a flat charm to him. But for me he just. loses it. after that part of the movie. He's a lot more of an asshole, which yes he's supposed to be. But for me there's just not that much to like. and just. and. and

Okay, kiddies, get out of the pool, that was the formal discussion. Now I'm just gonna LOUD

THIS GUYYYYY. IS SUCH A DUMBASS!!!!! He is so obviously wrong about the entire canon event theory. At least he is mostly. THERE IS SO MUCH EVIDENCE POINTING TO HIM BEING WRONG. AND WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO BACK IT UP??? ONLY ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT HE EVER BRINGS UP IN THE MOVIE!! And that's when he was Stupid and took the place of himself in a universe where he died so he could be with his daughter! And when you think about it, he didn't necessarily break the canon event rule- That canon event already HAPPENED. He DIED. But I guess you could suggest that him coming back ruined it. But that's the problem; these multiverse rules and regulations and details are just so confusing. And they're supposed to be.

Miguel doesn't necessarily have the right to put himself in charge of protecting this and claiming these things to be true when he absolutely does not know the full scale of the multiverse- Nobody knows exactly how all this works!! And we have seen so many things to contradict him!! If what he says is true, the events of Into The Spiderverse would have absolutely shaken things up. But the everything's fine for the most part, isn't it? The events of that movie changed all the characters in different ways (except for Ham. Ham's ok. Ham didn't change LMAO). Peni's SP//DER bot was destroyed, Noir brought color to his universe in the shape of a rubiks cube, Gwen made a new friend. Peter B was inspired and fixed things with MJ and went onto have a daughter, a DAUGHTER WHO'S VERY EXISTENCE ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN! AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF MILES! And if what Miguel is saying is true, why is the fact that Miles is Spiderman now and everything he's done not severely messing things up? The 42 spider's corpse is still chilling in his universe, too.

I've seen people compare the Spider Society to like. a cult? And honestly I can see that- Unintentional by Miguel, I'm sure, but it does seem similar. He's gotten everyone to believe in his theory and have them acting upon it, even Gwen, Peter B, and Peni. (Noir and Ham we never saw in the Spider Society, likely because their VA's weren't available. But I also like to take this as like. These two would not join the Spider Society, no way in hell they would. The society is against a lot of what Noir fights for and Ham would see this as a joke LMAO) NOT TO MENTION THAT OH MY GODDD LIKE GWEN KNOWS NOW THAT IF SHE GOES BACK TO HER UNIVERSE, SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THE CANON EVENT OF HER DAD DYING. AND MIGUEL AND THE OTHERS KNOW THAT TOO. AND THEY THREATEN HER WITH THE IDEA OF GOING HOME. THEY KNOW THAT. LIKE WTF?????

A detail I'm also obsessed with is that in Pavitr's universe, you see the damage and glitching before the Spider Society shows up. They call it a "quantum hole" or something, because that's what they believe it is. That's what it HAS to be, right? It can't be anything else. It has to be damage from the disruption of a canon event. But that is NOT what that is. That deep blackness- That's damage from The Spot. You can even hear it in the music, you can hear Spot's motif. It's probably also glitching because Spot is literally becoming some multidimensional being.

BUT MIGUEL IS SO DUMB AND SO UNLIKEABLE TO ME LIKE HE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THE WHOLE CONFLICT WITH MILES IN THE FIRST PLACE IF HE DIDN'T TELL HIM HIS DAD IS GOING TO DIE!! LIKE HE SCREWED HIMSELF OVER!! Sure, maybe he figured he should know what's going to happen, just accept it and join the club, but like. MAN.

BUT WHAT GETS ME. WHAT GETS ME THE MOST. WHICH MAKES ME ROLL MY EYES HARDER THAN ANYTHING.

"I'm this dimension's one and only Spiderman. Or, at least I was. But I'm not like the others. I don't always like what I have to do. But I know I have to be the one to do it. I've given up too much to stop now."

OH BOOOHOOOOOOOOO, CRY ME A RIVER. LIKE OH MY GODD. THIS IS LITERALLY ALL THE MOST CLICHE AND GENERIC QUOTES FOR A CHARACTER OF HIS TYPE. LIKE HOW DO YOU TAKE THAT SERIOUSLYYY I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. OKAY DRAMATIC EDGY MCEDGE I GET IT. I DON'T FEEL BAD FOR YOU!! I HAVE NO REASON TO!!!

I can not WAIT for Beyond The Spiderverse to have Miguel be faced with the fact he's wrong. But he can't face that. Because if he knows he's wrong, he has to face the fact that he's done all of this for nothing. And when people learn the truth, they're likely going to be a bit pissed!!

This came out a little more disorganized and incomprehensible than I wanted, but I think I expelled all my energy yelling about him and stuff in DM's on Discord, so I'm just piecing together all the pieces I left scattered LMAO

Sorry Miguel fans,,,,, you may think he's hot but I do not. This is all just my opinions and thoughts, keep that in mind!!! No hate to anyone who likes him, I know a lot of people do!! I'm just not that big a fan

anyway if anyone wants to hear more of my thoughts on Spiderverse ermmm shoot me more asks :] I enjoy talking

Just a quick side note this is my first time writing a fanfic so go easy on me. The reader is essentially a witch she is loosely based off the scarlet witch and black cat. This story is also loosely based off the heist DLC from the Spiderman game. I have this story all planned out I just have to write it, so I hope you enjoy the first chapter!

Part two Part three

Chapter One

"Miles calm down what's happening" Peter loved the kid but Miles could talk for ages if given the chance. " Sorry Spider-Man, I was with my uh friend and the kid she was babysitting in the park when this group of guys came out of nowhere and just took him. I tried to stop them I really did but there was too many of them they took off north of us. My friend it calling his mom right now." As tired as Spider-Man was he couldn't let an innocent child go through something like that. Already having Miles location he heads towards him, Swinging as fast as he could. " Alright Miles I'll be right there don't let anyone on the crime scene."

Swinging onto the crime scene Spider-Man greets Miles and his friend, "So for starters what does this boy look like do you have any pictures of him?" the hero asks the babysitter, "No his mother is strict about not having pictures of him on us, I know it sounds crazy but she has her reasons." 'Okay a little weird, but I guess she must of gone through something.' peter thinks to himself "No worries I'm not here to judge, do you mind giving me a description of him and the kidnappers." While the girl explained what the boy looked like peter noticed she was being very vague with how the boy looked but got everything from the kidnappers even down to the color shoelaces they all had. Not wanting to tip the girl off he asked if the father was in the picture.

"Umm no just the mother" said the girl, for a moment it was silent like peter was waiting for the girl to say more. "Is that all?" peter questions, he has the feeling the girl isn't telling him something. The girl gives a quick nod, "Listen uhhhh" "Gwen" "Right Gwen, the more information you give me the more it will help with finding the boy" Hoping that will get more information out of her, it does very little.

"Spider-Man I am giving you all the information I can give you, my employer does not want it out there that she has a son" Becoming frustrated peter chooses not to press on. instead opting to do research on his own. "alrighty then let's move on, can I get the mothers contact information?" "Sorry Spider-Man, but if you give me yours I'll rely it to her." Giving up peter sighs and says miles could give it to her.

With that peter takes off in the direction miles told them the kidnappers went. Making sure he is a good bit a way he calls MJ. "MJ, I need your help with a case."

"sure Pete, what's up" Explaining everything that just happened MJ agrees with him and offers to look into it for him. "I'll search for missing persons reports and try to find any leads. I'll keep you updated"

"In the meantime I'll keep an eye on the city."

*time skip*

Following a lead MJ gave to Peter, he lands on a nearby street light. "MJ said there was a tip called in about a group of men in a similar car to the one from the crime scene, better take a look might be worth a shot." Peter says to himself, as crazy as it sounds talking to someone, even if it is himself, helps peter cope with the stress that comes with the hero life.

Swinging in through the ventilation system peter notices it awfully quiet.

"Hey MJ, looks like we got here late. Someone beat us to the punchline." Walking around peter tries to look for clues as to what happened. "Its kinda sad was looking forward to telling my new knock knock jokes"

"seriously pete?" MJ laughs out, this man could always make her laugh in weird situations. "did the person who did this leave any clues there has to be something there."

"No whoever was here had to have known what they were doing, it takes some talent to fight a bunch of dumb goons." Finishing that sentence Pete feels something coming at him, barely able to dodge it he swiftly turns around to see who threw that giant box at him.

"Uh I'm gonna have to call you back"

"What peter whats goin-" Ending the call before MJ could finish talking Spider-Man turns to the person of interest.

"Long time no see Spider" Her voice was the same as it was five years ago, maybe a bit more mature and tired but still beautiful.

"Y/N-" Cut off by another box being thrown at him, Peter goes to web the masked girl up. The girl Quickly moved herself out of the way hovering herself to peter she sticks out a hand and holds him down, all while being six feet away from him "Listen here Spider, Stay out of this I don’t need your help."

"Y/N let me go lets talk this over" The girl he once called his lover has always been stronger then him, in his defense she was a witch who could lift things with just her mind. Luckily peter had dealt with this one too many times not to know how to get out of it.

"As nice as this meeting was, the boy isn't here So I must be on my way" going to leave she makes the mistake of dropping her guard, as she flies off she I violently yanked back into Spider-Mans arm. Successfully holding her down. He starts his interrogation.

"Y/N, what are you doing looking for a missing boy this doesn't seem like your MO." She starts to struggle, but the spider was physically stronger than her, deciding to play his little game she looks into the lens of his eyes.

"You've grown Spider-Man and not just with how you look" winking at the man she has never actually seen without the mask. Some might call her crazy or weird, looks never mattered to the witch. And sure she could of easily used her powers to pull the mask off, but she respected the man too much to do such a thing.

"Answer the question y/n" Though peter had missed the women in front of him so much he needed answers and was becoming impatient.

"That doesn't matter" Glaring at the girl he holds her hands together so she doesn’t try anything. Not liking this y/n starts to struggle. Noticing her panic peter takes this as his chance. "As much as your appearance is a shock, I need to know why you are here working a missing person case."

Still struggling she pleads with him to let her go that he is wasting valuable time, sensing she is getting close he pushes on repeating the question once again.

"Because he's my son!" Shocking Spider-Man She finally escapes his hold pushing him back with just the wave of her hand, and quickly flying out of there. Leaving a surprised spider by himself once again.

I’m just your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman

Summary: You and Luke have a date planned but being the friendly neighbourhood Spiderman gets in the way of your plans

Genre: This is tooth rotting fluff, Luke helping old ladies, kittens and young boys and girls with their football skills!

Also this is set where Both Miles and Peter have retired from being Spiderman. You can send me ideas of what you’d want me to write about within the universe.

Requests are open , I’d love to write more Spiderman!Luke, I may even do a mood board

****

You had been looking forward to a date with Luke for ages, both of you had been extremely busy and with your hectic lives, it had been almost impossible to just have some time for yourselves.

But today you had an extra hour for lunch and Luke had been at university all day and the “superhero” side gig had been fairly calm, so you decided that you were both gonna grab some lunch and stroll around somewhere.

You left the office super excited as you could be a normal couple for at least an hour today. The spring air caressed your cheeks as you walked quite quickly towards the coffee shop you agreed to meet Luke at.

A smile was fixed on your lips the whole way, who knew a lunch date with your long-term boyfriend could be so exciting.

Luke stood leaning on the lamp-post in front of the coffee shop, two hot drinks in his hands as he looked around for your face in the crowd. You saw him from a distance as he looked around and avoided his gaze so you could surprise him. You slowly walked up behind the tall boy and tried to put your hands over his eyes, but failing miserably as he was too tall for you to completely cover his eyes. Instead, your hands awkwardly rested on his cheeks which made an audible giggle escape his lips.

“Guess who?” You said, trying to not laugh yourself.

“Oh, I don’t know, who could it possibly be?” He giggled, going along with your silliness. “Is it Mr stark?” He said jokingly which made you drop your hands. Luke turned around to face you and you giggled

“Close enough,” you said as he offered you your hot drink which you thanked him for with a little peck on his soft lips.

“So, where are we going?” He asked as you both started walking aimlessly in a random direction.

“I was thinking, maybe central park? Get a hot dog for lunch?” you suggested, your hand found his as your fingers interlaced. He nodded.

“Sounds like a plan!” he said excitedly and pulled you in the direction of central park. On the way, both of you talked about your day and how your apartment really needed a tidy and maybe a better paint job. Luke told you how the Spiderman gig had been quite quiet today and he almost didn’t know what to do with the normalcy of just being a student.

When both of you got to the park entrance and got two hotdogs from your favourite hot dog stand, Luke noticed an old lady who stood yelling up at a tree.

“C���mon  Snowball! You got up there, you need to get down!” Meows were heard from the tree but nobody seemed to be helping the poor lady, New Yorkers and tourists alike just ignored the old lady pleading at her cat who seemed to be stuck up the tree.

You observed Luke and just tapped him on the shoulder

“You can go help her” you smiled. Luke had a worried look on his face, his eyebrows knitted together as he restrained to not leave you on your date.

“But the date-” He tried to say but you just shook your head, “ I think she needs you more than I do, besides I get to annoy you at home every day.” he smiled and gave you a deep kiss as he ran away and left you with his food. You found a bench nearby and sat waiting for Spiderman to appear. You didn’t even wait a full five minutes when he came swinging down.

He swiftly landed near the old lady making her excitedly sigh in relief as she saw him and he walked in her direction.

“Do you need help mam?” he said politely, approaching her. His suit made you blush every time as he looked so handsome. Let’s just say you liked that the suit hugged him in all the right places.

“My snowball got up to that tree and I don’t want to pull his leash and make him fall” she explained and pointed up the tree where a fluffy Persian white cat stood on the tree branch.

Luke nodded “Don’t worry mam, I’ll bring your snowball back down safely!” With a web he pulled himself up the tree, at the point, there was a small crowd gathered around the tree, all looking up as he approached the little fluffy cat, at this point you observed him from a closer spot, and your heart couldn't help but feel tight and warm and Luke’s little soft voice as he tried to get the cat’s attention.

“Hello, snowball...” Luke said softly, his voice a bit muffled by his mask. The cat meowed and turned away from Luke. “Hey I know we don’t really know each other but like we are buddies now,” he spoke as he slowly made his way onto the same branch where snowball stood. The tree branch cracked under his weight and everyone let out a gasp as Luke steadied himself.

Snowball sat on the edge of the branch, it felt like he was mocking Luke on purpose. Snowball meowed in Luke’s direction as he slowly made his way further, maintaining his balance.

‘I know buddy but it’s time to come down” Luke whispered as he finally got a hold of the chubby and fluffy snowball, the circle of people underneath the tree all started clapping but it wasn’t long till the branch broke under Luke’s feet. Thankfully his fast reflexes made him shoot up a web that held him and snowball in place. The tree branch fell and Luke yelled for the crowd to disperse.

Thankfully everyone did and Luke slid down the web, snowball held in one of his arms, the crowd started clapping once again as he delivered the cat to the old lady who had small tears in the brim of her eyes. “There you go mam, safe and sound” He held out snowball to the old lady who held her beloved cat close to her chest.

“Thank you so much, you’re a very nice young man.” She said as she tapped his shoulder in reassurance, a wide smile plastered on her lips.

“Oh, thank you so much, it was a pleasure to help” Luke gave snowball one last tap on his little fluffy head “ You need to be more careful next time buddy.” He said happily with a giggle at the end. Everyone swarmed Spiderman but he made way so the old lady and her cat could safely exit the crowd of people who had formed around them.

He, of course, stood behind to greet fans and talk to everyone who wanted to talk to him, even taking a few silly selfies. Once people started dispersing, he made his way back to you, a smile was on your face and your cheeks were rosy from the slight chill in the air, and because your boyfriend was the kindest person you’ve ever met.

You sometimes wonder if these radioactive spiders just go around choosing and picking the nicest guys, sometimes it feels like it.

He finally approached you “Did you see that?” He said excitedly “I am your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman!” He giggled, Luke had wanted to just do that for a while, the big villains and steaks of the last few years had left him a bit fatigued and exhausted, he was happy to just save kittens from trees and stop bicycle robberies.

“You are indeed!” You exclaimed happily. Your moment just the two of you didn’t last long, however.

“Hey, Spiderman!” A kid yelled loudly from the little concrete football (soccer) field. “Do a flip!” Another little girl yelled. Luke laughed and happily obliged at the request, doing backflip which made the kids erupt into celebratory laughs and chants. Luke gave you a tilt of his head and you playfully rolled your eyes.

The kids yelled a request for Luke to join them for a football game and you nodded “Go on...” He excitedly made his way to the group of children, giving high fives to all the boys and girls who stood around him. Soon enough you sat at a park bench, eating your and Luke’s hot dogs as he played around with the children, letting them all play against him and consequently letting them win every game.

You knew your date got somehow pushed into the background, but there was nothing you enjoyed more than seeing Luke happy and doing what he liked most. His kindness with everyone overwhelmed your heart with happiness, You couldn’t have asked for anyone better than him, your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman.

“What do you mean she’s not coming?” Leo asks, all the bad feelings quickly overtaking him. 

“She said she wanted to sight see more, and that she’d meet us back at camp in a few days,” Jason says, trying to break the news as gently as possible, “I’m sorry, Leo.”

He bit back his heartache.

“Yeah, it’s…” 

The door creaks and their heads turn to you, exiting the front door. 

“Who’s driving?” you ask.

“Jason,” Leo replies. You open the passenger side door, gently place the coffin shaped box on the seat, and buckle it in. You can feel their inquisitive eyes on you, and you counter with a blank, resolute look of your own.

“This one’s special.” 

You notice Leo seems… off. His whole mood seems to have plummeted. Leo reminds you of a buoy. Even in the worst storms, even if he gets caught under a huge wave, he always comes back to the surface. Based on his current vibe, someone nuked the buoy. Wheels turn in your head, and you hand him the trout mailbox. 

“Could you put this in the back?” you direct your words at him, hoping the heat flushing to his cheeks would distract him from whatever made him upset. His hand brushes yours and you can almost feel his heart spasm. You make eye contact at him through your thick, dark eyelashes and he almost chokes. He agrees and you pull Jason aside. 

“What happened?” you hiss. 

“What?” he whispers back.

“What did you tell him to make him all lame?”

“Oh, uh…” he rubs the back of his neck and you shake your head, waiting for an answer, “Calypso’s… not coming back with us.”  You wait in silence for him to keep talking. 

“She said she wanted to see the world more, and she’d meet us back at camp in a few days.” You process this for a second.

“So he’s-” you catch movement out of the corner of your eye, “driving?” you ask Leo, who just came back from the trunk.

“Jason, I mean.” you clarify. He confirms, and you all get in the car - Jason up front, you and Leo in the back. You reach into your bag and hand Jason a cd that says ’fun sad angry music :)’. He stares at you through the rear view mirror. You stare back. You sip your coffee. 

“Well?” you ask, “Are you going to put it in the player or eat it?” His eyes dart to Leo’s. “She gets to choose the music,” he explains. Jason mutters in agreement and fumbles the disk into the slot. A smile spreads on your face as the music plays and he starts to drive. 

Leo watches you as you nod your head and mouth the lyrics. He can tell you love this song. You vibe to the music for a minute before glancing over at Leo. He realizes he’s been staring when you give him an expectant look.

“What.” you ask. 

“Uh, this song is really good,” interest tints your face, and he’s relieved he recovered okay, “what’s it called?” You’re a little surprised he likes it.

“Mr. Doctor Man by Palaye Royale.” You two enjoy the music in silence, Jason focused on the road and GPS directions. A minute later, your curiosity starts to get the better of you. “How far is it?” 

“Not far, a couple hours.” Leo replies.

“Is everyone there all… campfire songs and friendship bracelets? Cause I’ve never been like, a summer camp person,” your eyes flick to the side towards him for a moment, and he can tell you’re listening closely. He smiles a little. 

“So what kind of person are you?”

“I’m more of a… cult documentaries and obscure unsettling 1960’s Czech animations type.” He’d never heard the words “1960’s Czech animations” sound so hot. 

“What about you?”

He paused for a minute. Part of him was deciding how to respond, and the other part was just flattered giggling that she had asked him back. You talk for the next hour or two, Jason chiming in periodically, until he points out that it’s getting dark and you should find somewhere to stay for the night. 

“Okay,” you reply, “pull over at the next truck stop.” 

They’re a little confused, but Jason complies and pulls over at the next gas station/convenience store you come across. They watch you get out of the car without a word and walk into the store. You approach a guy near a soda display. He has on a fedora and a shirt with a kids video game logo on it. He stares at you absolutely transfixed. They can’t hear what you’re saying, but he has a dopey grin on his face and nods his head a lot. Your hand touches his arm gently, and he laughs so loudly (and nervously) they hear it from the car. 

“Do I look that dumb around her?” Leo asks. 

You tilt your head and he blushes and nods again. He hands you something and a second later, you two walk to the counter. The cashier looks up startled, and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. She stares at you for a second, then says something and fumbles with a cellphone you hand her. She hands you a paper a few seconds later. You give the guy his phone back. He walks to an ATM at the corner of the store. He walks over to you, but you’re in front of a display so they can’t see anything until you come back out. You get back in the car and hand Jason a piece of paper and a wad of cash.

“Got us a room at a Best Western like, ten minutes away. And some cash.” 

They stare at you in silence. You lean toward Jason. 

“The room is under your name, Kevin Grossman.” Leo bites back a laugh. 

You finally get to the hotel, and Jason flips on his turn signal to get into the parking lot. “Park at the Walmart over there,” you point a block or two up, “under a light.” He turns his blinker off. 

“Walmart doesn’t care if you park overnight. If someone sees our car at the parking lot of a hotel, we’re just leaving a target on our backs.” you explain. They don’t say anything. 

“You said monsters are after us, right?” 

“Yeah,” Leo said, “good thinking.” Jason agreed and you exit the car, remembering to grab the duffle bag with your clothes and other essentials. You all walk across the street to the hotel. You talk your way through checking in pretty easily. When the hostess asks to see your in app registry you hand her the printed ticket. “His phone died.” you say simply. The three of you are about to head up to your room, when you turn back to reception. You hesitate for a second, before leaning in to the receptionist.

“Can you put us as unlisted?” you ask quietly. 

“Of course,” she replies sincerely, “let me know if you need anything.”

On the way up to your room, you tell Jason and Leo that if anyone asks, you’re not here. They seem impressed. Your room has a small seating area with a couch, coffee table, coat rack, and a phone. Past the half wall are three beds, a desk, a TV, and a doorway you figure leads to the bathroom. You walk into the bathroom and touch the mirror. You notice the space between your finger and reflection, and move on. You call to Leo to turn off the lights. He and Jason share a look. You may be a little weird, and incredibly intimidating, but you haven’t steered them wrong yet. Leo hits the lights, and you said quietly, “Listen for any weird buzzing or beeping noises, and look out for any out of place lights,” you creep around the room very quietly. After a minute you turn the lights back on and look at the ceiling.

“What was that about?” Jason asks.

“Bugs,” you reply, not looking at him, “and not the fun kind,” you mutter. 

“Jason, can you reach that?” you point up at the smoke detector. He looked between you and the device on the ceiling. 

“Don’t think so.” You looked between him and Leo. Your head might hit the ceiling if you Jason gave you a boost, but you could probably access it fine with Leo’s help. 

“Leo,” you said, and he looked up from the wires he was fiddling with, “give me boost,” your gaze not leaving the smoke detector. He agrees, and you get up onto his shoulders. His hands rest just above your knees, and it takes all his focus to not burst into flames. You pop off the cover.

“This doesn’t look weird, right?” you ask him. He looks up and back at your face, hair angled down, and is reminded of the Spiderman kiss. He pushes away the thought and examines the smoke detector. 

“About as non-weird as a smoke detector can look,” he confirms, and helps you down. He’s incredibly impressed that you thought to look for bugs - even he hadn’t thought of that, and he’s a son of Hephaestus. 

“Where did you learn this stuff? The parking lot, being unlisted, checking for bugs?” You half exhale half scoff.

“When almost everyone in a five mile radius constantly wants to get in your pants, they can get… pushy… so you learn some stuff.” You grab your pajamas from your bag and head toward the bathroom. Leo and Jason meet eyes. It made more sense now, why you were always so intimidating. If he got constant unwanted attention, Leo would get pretty prickly, too. 

Once everyone had showered and gotten ready for bed, Jason pointed out someone should IM Chiron, but you were way too tired, and collectively agreed to update him in the morning. 

Right as he’s about to fall asleep, Leo feels like someone’s watching him. He opens his eyes, and sees Calypso’s face. His heart lurches. He pushes himself out of bed and sees the shimmery edges of the iris message. She opens her mouth and he holds a finger to his lips. He moves over to the couch, so he doesn’t wake the others. He sits down nervously.

“Hey, sunshine… I really miss you, what’s-” 

“Look, Leo, I… I can’t do this.” 

His stomach drops. 

He knows what’s happening. He had it coming, he knew that. He knew that this was probably inevitable. Still, that didn’t make it hurt any less. He tries to sputter out something, anything. Why, what, can he do anything to fix this, but he’s too choked up. 

“I need a break from this, from us…” she continues, “there’s so much of the world I haven’t seen yet, and you have your projects… I don’t want to hold myself back because I feel bad that you’re not with me. I want to experience everything.” He feels like he’s falling forward. His eyebrows knit and an unstoppable rush of memories of everyone who’s left him or kicked him out comes flooding back. 

“Calypso,” his voice cracks. He can’t finish the sentence. 

You wake up from the light sleep you had settled into, aware of an unfamiliar voice. You get up, throwing on the short black robe over your pajamas - despite their velvet material, the loose cami and shorts don’t provide much warmth. You tiptoe over to the seating area. Leo’s on the couch, staring at the floor. You walk up behind him and place a hand on his shoulder. 

“You okay?” you ask, your voice foggy with sleep. 

“Who-” you briefly see the unfamiliar voice is coming from a shimmery image of a pissed off girl floating in front of him, but he quickly swipes his hand through, and the image vanishes. He rubs his eyes and his hands come away damp. You stay quiet. You don’t want to make him feel worse. 

“Long day,” he mutters. He stands up and says goodnight without looking at you. You watch him get into bed, and you do the same. Even if you knew what was wrong, there wasn’t much you could do this late at night. You hope some rest makes him feel better, and tell yourself it’ll be dealt with in the morning. 

Maybe over coffee. 

You could use some coffee.

Part Two | Masterlist

- - - - -

The next morning when you got up for work you remembered why you don’t really like drinking wine. You took some painkillers to ease the headache, got ready and left your apartment. 

You got off the train and found Peter waiting for you as he usually does. As you walk with him you tell him about the night before. 

“It was actually really nice. We ate pizza, looked at art, and I taught him how to bake brownies”

Peter looks at you confused.

“It’s a long story. Thing is, we’d both had a bit to drink and when we were baking we ended up having a kind of food fight with the flour. Then one thing led to another and... we almost kissed”

“You kissed Mr Stark?!” Peter blurts a bit too loud which causes a few glances from people around you. 

“Shh, Peter, keep your voice down! No, we didn’t actually- we almost did, he backed away before anything happened and then he just left. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to do now”

“If nothing happened then that’s okay right?” Peter asks innocently. 

“Yeah but something almost did. Am I supposed to pretend nothing almost happened, or do we need to talk things through? What If last night has completely changed things? ugh! Never drink wine Peter, never!” You say bringing one hand up to your head. 

“It will be fine y/n. Mr Stark probably doesn’t even remember” Peter tries to reassure you as you both walk through the main doors into the reception. “I’m sure nothing has changed- who is that?” He says as you both notice the new girl sitting at the reception desk. Your reception desk. 

Suddenly Happy appears in front of you. 

“Ah miss Y/L/N, I’ve been waiting for you”

“Who’s that?” You ask, pointing at the desk

“the new intern.”

“But..” you start to speak but Happy interrupts

“Mr Stark wants to see you” he gestures for you to walk with him.

You look at Peter who just shrugs sympathetically. 

“Now!” Happy shouts back to you already ahead of you so you have to do a little jog to catch up with him. 

“I’ll see you at lunch then” Peter shouts after you as you walk up the stairs. 

— — — —

You could feel your anxiety rising with every step as you followed Happy down the corridor toward Tony’s office. Happy opened the door and waited for you to step inside before following you in. 

“Ah just the girl I’ve been waiting for” Tony says sitting behind his desk, flicking through papers “thanks Happy” 

Happy nods and steps outside, closing the door behind him. You don’t move, you stay stood by the door anxiously. 

“Well come on in, take a seat” Tony says, gesturing to the chair on the opposite side of the desk to him. You do as he says and sit looking at him, waiting for him to speak. But he just continues looking down at the paper. 

“What’s going on?” You ask cautiously. 

“Oh, you’re fired” he replies casually and you feel a huge wave of panic sweep over you. 

“What?! Why?” 

“I’m kidding!” He says finally looking up at you “I’m sorry that was mean”

You breath a massive sigh of relief. 

“Okay you really cannot say things like to me, my anxiety can’t handle it” you shake your head letting out a nervous giggle. 

“Yeah I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist” he gets up from his chair, walking around to lean against the front of his desk right in front of you “although technically it wasn’t a complete lie. You are no longer an intern at Stark Enterprise. BUT don’t freak out, I have something better lined up for you”

You look at him confused and he smiles at you. 

“I want you to come work for me”

“But I already work for you” you reply blankly. 

“I mean, WITH me. I’m offering you a job as my personal assistant”

“I don't understand. I thought Happy was your personal assistant?” You ask and Tony laughs. 

“Don’t let him hear you call him that. No, Happy is my head of security and chauffeur. But lately he’s been taking on some personal assistant duties and, well let’s just say that does not make him Happy.” 

You look up at him trying to process what’s happening. He smiles down at you. 

“So? What do you think?”

“I think there are a load of other people who have been working here way longer than me, and are far more qualified than me, that would kill for this job.” Tony nods his head as you speak. “So why me?” You ask. 

“Because they’re not you.” He says sincerely and takes you by surprise “I’ve never met anyone else in this building who cares as much as you do about doing a good job. You’re always one of the last ones to leave this building, and you always have a smile on your face. You’re hardworking and honest and talented. And I know you worry a lot but you never let that stop you. Just look at the way you chased that guy through the building the other week. You’re braver than you think.” He leans forward, putting his hands on your shoulders to look into your eyes

“Ive seen something special in you Y/N, you have the potential to do great things and I want to be the one help you get there.”

You look into his eyes and you can tell he’s being genuine with you. A smile creeps onto your face and you start to nod. 

“Is that a yes?” he asks.

“Yes” you start laughing, “yes I’ll take the job”

Tony jumps up, grabbing your hands and pulling you up into a hug. It feels nice, comfortable. Then he pulls back suddenly to look at you again.

“I’m glad you said yes, I kinda already filled your old intern position...”

“Yeah, I noticed.” You giggle.

— — — —

You spent the morning with Tony, filling in some paperwork while he explained the sorts of things you’d be doing as his new PA. It sounded perfect. Double the salary you were on before, and Tony promised you’d have plenty of time to work on your art. 

On your lunch break you decided to head down to the reception desk to collect a few of your things you’d left in the desk drawers. Thankfully the new intern was also on her lunch break, you didn’t really feel like awkwardly explaining to her that you used work on that desk. As you’re putting the last few things in your bag Peter comes running up to the desk speaking a million miles an hour. 

“Why are you packing your things away? Oh my god y/n did Mr Stark fire you? Or did you quit because of the almost kiss? Y/N please don’t leave-“

“Peter! Relax! I’m not going anywhere. I’m just not the intern anymore.” 

Peter stops talking and just looks at you.

“Im Mr Stark’s new PA.” you smile and Peter’s face lights up

“Y/N! That’s amazing! Congratulations, I’m so happy for you.” Then he stops smiling and looks like he doesn’t know how to ask you the next part “...Do you think this had anything to do with.. you know.. last night?”

You think for a moment then smile slightly. 

“No. He told me the reasons why he's giving me this job and, I believe him. He didn’t even mention last night at all. I don’t know if he was drunker then I thought, or if he’s just choosing to ignore it but either way I’m fine. Now can we please go get some lunch, I’m starving” 

— — — — 

A week later. 

You walk into the coffee shop you’ve now become a regular at since taking on your new job. It’s Tony’s favourite and he sends you there pretty much every day to collect drinks so when you walk through the door the server behind the counter recognises you instantly.

“hey y/n”

“hey MJ, how you doing today?”

“cant complain. I’m guessing Tony wants his usual?”

“yes please” you say with a smile

“coming right up” she says as she puts your order through the till “I hope he pays you well for treating you like a slave”

“he doesn’t treat me like a slave” you laugh handing over the company credit card Tony gave you “I actually like doing the coffee run, its nice to not be stuck behind a desk anymore”

“plus you get to see your favourite barista” 

“oh of course, highlight of my day!” You grin at her and she hands the card back

“i’ll bring your drinks over in a minute” she says before turning around to make them and you move to the end of the counter to wait. As you stand waiting you look up at the pieces of art spread around the walls of the cafe. Even though you see them everyday you still love studying them while you wait, they make you feel inspired. 

“hello y/n” a voice behind you startles you and you spin around to see the man who had come into Start Enterprise a few weeks ago. The guy you’d chased into Tony’s office. He gives you a sinister smile. “I hear Tony’s promoted you, congratulations!”

“how did you know-“

“I’m sorry where are my manners? We were never formally introduced were we? I’m Professor Randall, but you can call me Charles.” He presents his hand for you to shake and you look at him cautiously. As your about to reach out to shake his hand MJ calls that your order is ready and you turn round to see her stood holding your drinks waiting for you to take them off her. You turn back to the Professor and point over your shoulder. 

“I better be going” is all you say before turning to walk over to MJ. 

“of course. I’ll see you again y/n” he says and you look back to see him walking out the coffee shop. 

“thanks MJ, you're a star” you say as you take the drinks from her and give her a smile, trying to cover up how shaken you are from that small interaction. 

“no problem” she says smiling back “hey who was that creepy guy? Ive seen him in here a lot recently but he never actually orders anything. Just sits and stares at people. He’s really weird”

“I don't actually know him. It’s a long story but, look I better be getting back to work before Mr Stark sends out a search party for his coffee. See ya” you say and turn to walk out the cafe. 

“see you tomorrow” she shouts behind you. 

— — — — 

When you walk back through the doors of Stark Enterprise building you bump into Peter who spots the coffee cups your carrying and instantly knows where you’ve been. 

“hey y/n? Is MJ working the counter today?” He asks pointing at the cups in your hand.

“yeah she is. Let me guess, you gonna go there for lunch today right?”

“uh, maybe yeah” he blushes which makes you smile “You wanna join?”

“not today no, got a lot on. Speaking of, I really gotta-“

“no no, of course yeah carry on. I’ll see ya later”

As you pass Happy in the corridor you pass him his coffee cup and he gives you a small smile of thanks. You walk into Tony’s office and put his cup down on the desk in front of him. He says thank you but doesn’t look up from his work. You take a seat on a chair over by the window and take a few sips of your drink. You soon find yourself looking out the window daydreaming, rerunning the conversation with the Professor through your head. Was it coincidence he was in the cafe or had he followed you there? And if so, why? Tony had said this guy had tried to get his attention a few times, what was his plan? What did he want?

“Y/N?! Hello?” You suddenly realise Tony is calling your name and you look up to see him staring at you from his desk. 

“what? sorry, I was daydreaming” you reply sheepishly.

“hmm I noticed. I was just saying that we need to get the guest list together for the fundraiser next week” he says, eyeing you with concern “where were you then? I could see in your eyes you were somewhere else completely”

“nowhere. Like I said, just zoned out for a minute. I cant even remember what I was thinking-“

“y/n.” Tony interrupts as he stands up and walks over to sit on the chair next to you “I’ve spent enough time with you lately to know when something is bothering you”

You look down at the floor. 

“you don't have to tell me anything, but you can talk to me anytime”

“honestly Im okay. It’s not even a big deal, I just bumped into Professor Randall at the cafe and he was a bit weird. That’s all.”

Tony’s eyes go wide for a second when you mention the Professors name. 

“what did he say to you?” Tony asks, a hint of worry in his voice. 

“Not much. Just that he’d heard about my promotion and then he introduced himself”

“anything else?”

“no” you shake your head “as soon as the drinks were ready he said he’d see me again then he left”

“he said he’d see you again? Those were his exact words?” You can tell he’s getting more and more worried. 

“Yes. Tony, whats going on? Why does it matter?”

Tony looks at you and he can tell he’s stressing you out. He takes a breath and smiles trying to be reassuring. 

“It’s probably nothing, but I just want you to be safe.”

“why wouldn’t I be?”

“no you are. It’s just. The Professor isn’t a nice man, and I don't want him harassing the people I care about the way he’s being harassing me. From now on Happy will accompany you on all trips outside this building and we will be driving you to and from work every day” he stands up and goes back over to his desk, picks up his coffee and has a drink. 

You watch him, thinking over everything he’s just said. You cant shake that uneasy feeling you’ve had since you left the cafe. 

“Tony?” You said standing up from your chair and Tony turns around to look at you. “I need you to be completely honest with me now.” 

You pause as Tony gives you a small nod. 

“Am I in danger?” You ask quietly. 

Tony walks to you and puts his hands on either side of your face, looking into your eyes. 

“no. I promise you, I will keep you safe” he says sincerely. 

You give him a small smile and he kisses you on the forehead before taking his hands away from your face. 

“right, let’s get to work on this guest list”

The Spiderman Code

(This is a sort of idea me and my friend came up with)

The world needs spiderman and not just to save them but because spiderman is a symbol. He is a reminder that being a hero is more then just beating the bad guy but also by doing good for the sake of good. Helping people with groceries, making sure kids get to school safe, and walking women home when it's late. The world needs spiderman to remember what simple deeds could do for others.

But spiderman isn't immortal and can't be their 100% of the time. He had a job, maybe family, and was only going to get older. Yet, fate had its ways for soothing those worries.

Miles Morales, came to him asking for help with his powers. Spiderman knew what he had to do. He trained Miles for years to take up the role of spiderman. The people of New York didn't immediately like the idea of the new hero but in time they accepted Miles as the future of the city.

Before Peter officially retired he gave Miles a set of rules to follow when time came to choose the next spiderman.

Spiderman can be anyone. No gender, race, or disability can change that.

You must devote yourself to your apprentice. They are the future and will look up to you. Make sure you show them what they should aspire to be.

There should be no secrets between the mentor and apprentice. These secrets will only cause problems later.

Make sure to teach them how to wash their suit every day.

You can only train a maximum of two spidermen and the second has to be a special case. Too many spidermen can cause confusion and lead to trouble.

Remind them of their legacy and the responsibility it intels.

Be there for them. Being spiderman is thankless and it's better not be alone. Be what they need; a friend, a guardian, a protector, anything that will keep them safe.

You can't under any circumstances date, marry or form any type of romantic relationship with your apprentice.

Make sure you let your apprentice spread their wings when the time comes. Letting go is the hardest part but at some point they will be ready and you have nothing else to teach.

Remember with great power comes great responsibilities.

In the generations to come a legacy of spidermen and women come to pass.

Some took the original Spiderman title but others use names to stand out. Each took a name and based their suits off specific spiders.

Huntsman

Wolf spider

Weaver Spider

Painter Spider

Ghost Spider

Red Widow

Teranchula (the first trans spiderman)

Venom (thought he was funny)

Lynx Spider

A POC take on Black Ariel

*inhales*

I don't want it.

Hold up, here's my reasoning:

It's going to get worse before it gets better so hang on.

I have an issue with just about all race changes in fiction on general principle. I want representation, yes, but I don't want it to be contrived.

I'm not saying it can't lead to a good performance. Heck, I even like some characters to whom this has happened, but it's still annoying.

Now I'm not one of those who cries bloody murder at a black Spiderman or black James Bond, and I actually find those to be a different case that I'll explain in a bit.

Black Ariel could be the best performance I have ever seen and I would love it, but still find it problematic.

Ariel's white.

For no good reason is she white, but Disney made their choice and she's one of the most beloved princesses in their pantheon.

Now, let's argue that Disney is trying to be more race-sensitive in casting Halle rather than choosing her for her singing voice; I'm a little offended. Am I being told that the studio known for being built out of imagination can't design a black mermaid for me; they have to recycle their white one? The frozen head of Walt Disney can't find a Caribbean story about a mermaid to adapt or an African one or, here's a novel idea, make up a story with a black mermaid protagonist? They could even set it in the same world as The Little Mermaid.

Am I worth so little effort that they can just swap out the colour pallet and call it a good day's work?

I've got nothing against Halle and I really hope none of this post is taken to be racist or used as an argument by racists.

There are a million white stories, I get that. I've loved a million white stories and wanted to see myself in them, but the way to do that isn't by swapping out half of them and making them black stories. Make a million black stories so that I can have 2 million stories. Then make a million Asian stories and a million Spanish stories and a million Native stories. Give me more stories, don't recycle old ones for cheap representation.

If Halle was just chosen for her voice and acting ability, get to rewriting that script.

Why things like black Spiderman or black James Bond or black Captain America don't bother me is because those things are titles. Anyone can be the Green Lantern so long as they have the ring. If another white guy can take the title, then so can a black guy. They made the effort to make alternate characters that are interesting and original.

The choice is Peter or Miles, not Peter or Black Peter.

In conclusion, I'm sure Halle will give a lovely performance and her movie, like so many other of Disney's remakes, will be just okay. Even so, I will be annoyed that I now have a reskinned Ariel when I could have had a brand new Sasha.

Chapter 11: She Moves In Her Own Way (Spider-Boy - Peter Parker x Stark!Reader)

I AM THE BIGGEST PROCRASTINATOR I KNOW! Here is Chapter 11 of Spider-Boy. 

This is mainly a filler-ish chapter. The major events will happen in the next few chapters!

ENJOY! (If you still want to read it of course, it’s been like a year since my last update. I really am sorry!)

Don’t forget to like (if you like it huhu)

Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Chapter 9, Chapter 10, Chapter 12, Chapter 13

The whole family is eating brunch in the dining hall when Tony decides to ask Y/n about your relationship with Peter.

“So how was the afterparty?” Tony asks Y/n, eating a piece of his toast.

“It was fun…. Just a typical prep school party, but with no drugs involved, Happy and the rest of your security made sure of that.” Y/n reassures.

“Yeah? How was Peter last night? I figured since he was there with you, he probably had a miserable night with those trust fund kids.” Tony says.

“Who is this Peter and how come I’m the last person in this family to find out about him?” Denise questions.

“That’s not true, Eloise doesn’t know who he is.” Nico retorts, pointing to the little sister who is busy playing with her PB&J croissant.

“He’s-“ Tony cuts Y/n off.

“He’s my protege in Stark Industries, has a bit of a crush on Y/n.…. Speaking of which, how’s he treating you?” Tony inquires, taking a bite of the waffle on his plate.

“He’s a nice guy, dad. Surely, you would know that.” Y/n replies.

“Y/n, you’re only 16. You shouldn’t even be dating at all… You have your SATs next year before you know you it, you’re applying to ivy league schools or perhaps you’d want to move to Paris with me and study at Sorbonne.” Denise implies.

“Mom, it’s just puppy love…” Y/n reassures her.

“If it’s just puppy love, why don’t I just get you a dog instead? I don’t want to deal with you and Parker as a thing, and him being Spiderman is no good for you. Ask Pepper how she handles with the whole Avengers thing, it’s a complicated story, honey.” Tony states.

“The guy you’re seeing is Spiderman? Niiiice!” Nico laughs.

“Ugh…. Can we not talk about my love life, like… ever?” Y/n grumbles.

“So dad, how’s Pepper?” Nico asks.

“She’s doing great. I’m planning on proposing to her actually.” Tony wipes his mouth with the dinner napkin.

“You’re what?!” Everyone except the 5-year-old, Eloise, exclaimed in unison.

“Tony, why did you choose to bombard us with this story now?” Denise chastises him.

“I figured it’s the right time, Denise. I’ve hardly seen her these past few months. Besides, she’s amazing with Y/n and Nico, she’s their New York mom because their real mom is busy in Paris with husband number 2.” Tony argues.

“It is so not the right time. We’re having a post-birthday brunch, not a family meeting.” Denise hisses.

“I’m sorry, do you expect me to walk on eggshells every time we talk about something important? These kids know Pepper, she was their guardian at school when we were both busy with our jobs. I don’t need a lecture from Mary Sue.” Tony admonishes.

“ENOUGH. Dad already said it, we don’t need all this fuss over him and Pepper getting married. We’re happy that both of you are happy with your partners, you guys don’t have to remind us of your pre-divorce fights. It’s bad enough that Eloise doesn’t get to see me and Y/n this often, but arguing in front of her is something that you guys should definitely avoid.” Nico lectures their parents.

“I’m going for a walk.” Tony stands up and heads out of the dining hall.

“Dad, while you’re out there, can you buy me a pretzel?” Y/n exclaims.

“No Promises!” Tony replies.

“Y/n! Sweetie! You have a visitor!” Tony announces from the great room.

“Oooh! Is it Peter Parker?” Nico teases you.

“Shut up, Nico.” Y/n grumbles, throwing the dinner napkin on the chair before walking out of the dining hall.

Y/n sees Liz Allen standing awkwardly in the middle of the great room.

“Liz… What are you doing here?” Y/n asks.

“I uh… I just want to apologize…” Liz starts off.

“Apologise? Apologise for what?” Y/n’s eyebrows furry in confusion.

“For everything I did to you when I was still in Spence… We were the best of friends and I guess.. I was just a bit jealous.” Liz states.

“You do know that you’re like a few years too late, right?” Y/n crosses her arms.

“I know… I just wanted to get this off my chest before I leave for Oregon.” She looks down.

“Oregon? What are you going to do in Oregon?” Y/n questions.

“We’re moving there…. permanently. My dad doesn’t want us to be in New York during the trial.” Liz answers.

“That sucks… I’m really sorry, Liz.” Y/n walks toward her former friend and caresses her by the arm.

“There is one thing you should know….” Liz looks up to Y/n.

Y/n felt her ears ringing as if she didn’t know how to react. Something about Liz kissing Peter during their homecoming dance… she couldn’t feel herself moving.

It wasn’t something Peter had confessed to her when he barged in after defeating the Vulture. He knows that she gets sensitive when it comes to Liz, he could’ve told her about it.

“Oh… that’s fine. Peter and I aren’t even anything…” Y/n reassures her.

“Ohh… I sort of assumed that you guys had something going on… He felt uneasy with me the whole time we were together.” She replied.

“Maybe he was just nervous? Peter’s kind of awkward, not sure if you’ve noticed.” Y/n lies knowing full well that Peter told her about Liz’s dad.

“He is, that’s what intrigued me the most about him.” Liz just laughs.

“I just want to have a clean slate before I leave, you know? Thanks for everything, Y/n.” Liz puts her hand out for you to take, Y/n gladly holds Liz’s hand.

“Just don’t do anything stupid, and you’ll be fine. I’m sure Oregon has tons of Peter Parkers for you to kiss.” Y/n fakes a smile, letting go of Liz’s hand before standing up.

Liz feels the uneasiness radiating off Y/n by a mile. She knows how moody Y/n gets when someone pisses her off.

“I just…. I still feel bad for not telling you that I was transferring schools…. I mean it’s great that you have the three girls by your side when I was out of the picture.” Liz states.

“Why? Because they’re just yours to take if you stayed at Spence?” Y/n scoffs.

“That’s not what I meant… I’m sorry for being such a horrible friend.” Liz murmurs, Y/n not even bothering to reply.

“Well, I better go…. Take care, Y/n.” Liz stands up and waves at Y/n weakly.

Y/n does the same, waiting for Liz to head straight to the elevator. Y/n feels her brother standing beside her.

“Look at you inheriting Tony Stark’s sharp tongue.” Nico nudges Y/n by the shoulder.

“Shut up. Being a bitch is mom’s trait.” Y/n retorts.

Friday Night:

It’s been two days since Tony Stark announced his engagement to Pepper Potts, his former P.A., and the Socialite wanted to celebrate his engagement in a rather austere celebration, at the Rockefeller rooftop gardens. The celebration mainly consisted of Team Iron Man, a few of Tony Stark’s friends, colleagues and business partners, and a few of Y/n’s classmates from Spence.

“Pepper! Congratulations!! I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to text you the moment I found out.” Y/n hugs Pepper the moment she steps into the venue.

“Oh no worries, honey! You owe me a girls day out because I for one have heard about your father complaining about a certain Spiderman crushing on his daughter?” Pepper smirks at Y/n.

“Sachs and Bendel’s day it is! My dad is going to have a dent in his account” Y/n giggles.

“Look at my two favorite girls talking about a girls day that involves my money.” Tony wraps an arm around his daughter’s shoulder.

“Yeah. The two of us were planning to just shop, spend your money, and talk shit behind your back.” Y/n retorts.

“Language!” Tony admonishes you.

Pepper and Y/n look at one another knowingly. Captain America used to scold Tony or the rest of the Avengers whenever they swore and it looks like it might have rubbed off on Iron Man himself.

“Are you hearing yourself right now, dad?” Y/n questions.

“You’re right, I sounded stupid… my god.” Tony’s eyes wander off, realizing what he’s done.

“I’m gonna go look for my friends. See you later, old-timers.” Y/n shakes off Tony’s arm and heads to where her friends are standing, drinking Cristal champagne.

“That Peter Parker is going to be the death of me isn’t he?” Tony asks Pepper as the two trail their eyes on Y/n.

“Possibly. Better him than anyone else right? At least she’ll have a superhero to her beck and call who’s not her dad.” Pepper answers.

“Who am I kidding? She’s got me wrapped around her finger.” Tony sighs and looks at his daughter fondly.

The elevator door opens for Peter to see all the prominent people of New York gathered in one place, he tries to spot anyone familiar and sees Y/n talking to her friends.

“Peter! You’re here!” Tina greets him the moment he’s in their plain sight.

“Hi.” Peter just waves awkwardly at Y/n’s friends.

Y/n, on the other hand, is basking at Peter’s awkward nature, she finds it cute that he still gets flustered every time he’s with her friends from school.

“You could’ve told me you were coming. I would’ve picked you up.” Y/n hugs him, still feeling uneasy.

“You’d travel from 5th Avenue to Queens just to fetch me?” Peter inquires, knowing full well that Happy and your dad wouldn’t approve of it.

“Of course.” Y/n smiles at Peter.

“Excuse me, girls. I just need a moment with Peter.” Y/n smiles at her three friends who just nod their heads and walk away.

Y/n grabs two glasses of champagne and offers one to Peter.

“So, Liz stopped by before heading to Oregon.” Y/n starts off.

“Yeah? What did she say?” Peter asks, drinking from his glass.

“Oh you know, she just apologized for not telling me about transferring schools and all….” Y/n shrugs her shoulders.

Peter just nods his head, not really knowing where the conversation is going.

“She told me about your homecoming.” Y/n adds.

Peter tries to open his mouth to talk but nothing comes out, he doesn’t have an explanation for what happened.

“You could’ve told me about it. I wouldn’t have been entirely pissed. I just wish I didn’t have to find out about it from her.” Y/n tells him.

“I know. I’m sorry I never told you, but I swear nothing happened between us after that. Please believe me.” Peter pleads.

“Peter, you’re like the most awkward teenager I know, that’s one of the many things I like about you.” Y/n giggles.

“Just, no more kissing other girls, okay?” Y/n puts a hand on Peter’s bicep.

“Y-yeah… Of course.” Peter smiles at you.

Just when the two of you are about to kiss, Tony clinks his glass and everyone stops what they’re doing to look at him.

“Hello! I just want to thank everyone for being here to celebrate a special night for me and Ms. Potts here. Meeting and falling head over heels in love with her was the best thing that has ever happened to me.” He states.

“Wow, tell me how you really feel, dad.” Y/n mumbles.

“Well, there are exceptions. Three of those, being the birthday of my children, one of them is here right now, Y/n Stark. Where are you, honey?” Tony looks around and spots his daughter with Peter.

“There she is with her uh, date.” Tony stares at Peter before rambling on to the rest of the speech.

“Wow. I’m a date.” Peter chuckles.

“Would you rather, he introduced you as Spiderman or a random kid from Queens?” You raise your eyebrows at him.

“Yeah, you’re right.” Peter mumbles.

“I didn’t even know they weren’t engaged before. I always assumed Mr. Stark popped the question years ago.” Peter looks at you.

“If there’s one thing my dad is always careful about, it’s timing. He’s always been good at that.” You reply.

“You actually turned my dad down? But I thought you always wanted to be an avenger?” Y/n asks Peter as the two of them sit down and share a plate of fries.

“Yeah. I mean, it would be awesome to work with your dad full-time, but I like being the friendly neighborhood spider-man.” Peter shrugs his shoulders.

“And how did he take it? I reckon, not well.” Y/n laughs.

“He was confused. As if I was turning down a Nobel Prize or something.” He replies.

“And you have no regrets turning it down?” Y/n inquires.

“I mean, there will always be an unanswered question, what would happen if I did take the job, but for now, I’m not complaining.” He answers.

“You are a very wise man, Peter Parker.” You nod your head.

“I like to take pride in my wisdom.” Peter jokes.

“You’re such a guy.” Y/n chuckles pushing him slightly.

“I will have you know that I am a man.” Peter sits up.

“Peter, you can’t even grow a stubble.” Y/n points to his chin.

“Those things take time.” He defends.

“Yeah but when puberty actually hits you, it grows immediately.” Y/n answers back.

“When I do grow a stubble, you’re gonna have to buy me a slice of pizza.” He wages.

“That’s going to take a while, won’t it? We have about, another 10 years for that, maybe?” Y/n retorts.

“You’re killing what’s left of my confidence, Stark.” Peter pretends to clutch his heart as if he’s hurt.

“What can I say? I make great tea.” Y/n takes a fry from the plate.

“What are you guys doing over here? The DJ just arrived! Let’s dance!” Tina grabs your hand but you don’t budge.

“T, I’m kinda beat. Go have fun!” You smile at your friend.

“Alright… Peter?” Tina asks.

“I’m good. I’m just gonna keep her company.” Peter smiles at you.

“You two are sickeningly sweet.” Tina just laughs before walking away.

“So I heard Ned got grounded after the party?” Y/n inquires.

“Yeah! But only for like a week. I think his mom was happier over the fact that he went to your party, than actually being upset over him coming home late.” Peter explains.

“Oh really? I should keep his name in our guest list then.” You giggle.

“I really am sorry about the whole Liz thing…. I just don’t know how to deal with female attention.” Peter reasons out.

“You’re doing pretty well with me.” You shrug your shoulders.

“Yeah, that’s because I’m comfortable around you. You’ve iced my bruises and cleaned my injuries, like you’re used to treating wounds like a nurse or something-“ Peter mumbles.

“Not that it’s a bad thing, you’re just uhhh… You’re really good at making other people feel comfortable.” Peter adds.

“Look at you laying down the compliments tonight.” You chuckle.

“I guess, growing up with Iron Man, I’ve seen how he fixes himself, sometimes with Pepper and Happy’s help. Lately, I’ve been doing assistance for him. I love my dad and I’d do anything for him. Even if it means getting to see him beaten up or fatally injured. It all comes with the price of being Tony Stark.” Y/n sighs.

“Peter, I want you to promise me something.” Y/n looks at him.

“When you feel like you need help, tell me… or at least tell my dad. He’ll always be there to help you, you know that right?” You grab his hand.

Peter takes your hand and kisses your knuckles.

“I already have your numbers on my favorites.” He laughs.

“You’re such a dork.” You rest your head against his shoulder.
