@aracniido asked: ❛ i saved a bunch of people.❜  

ㅤit's a slow - spreading smile that sets her expression alight, but she can't help the sense of pride that washes over her. miles may not have been her spider to worry about, but not worrying was easier said than done. her own heart knew just how important it was to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. " of course you did. " she replies, as if it was silly to consider any alternative. " and i'm glad you kept yourself safe, too. " a not - so - subtle reminder: take care of yourself.

I  JUST  HIT  A  JACKPOT !   when  i  first  made  mj  back  in  2016,  i  did  not  think  i  would  stick  with  her  as  a  muse  for  long  because  i’ve  seen  how  a  lot  of  fans  (  from  the  spidey  tags  and  online  forums  )  viewed  her  character,  and  so  i  thought  i  would  get  all  that  flak  from  the  rpc  too  for  writing  her.   fortunately,  that  wasn’t  the  case,  and  to  this  day  i’m  still  overwhelmed  and  amazed  by  the  huge  positive  response  i’ve  received  from  developing,  tweaking,  and  shaping  mj  watson  into  how  i  understand  her  as  a  character.   it’s  taken  me  about  three - ish  reboots  to  get  where  i  am  with  her  today,  but  i  really  am  happy  to  know  that  people  enjoy  seeing  her  on  their  dashboards  and  enjoy  seeing  me  write  her  as  well.

in  no  particular  order,  here’s  a  quick  shout - out  to  those  i’ve  gotten  to  know  and / or  write  with  on  my  time  here.   thank  you  for  dealing  with  my  slow  ass  in  both  replies  and  IMs  ily  ---  and  here’s  to  the  people  i  haven’t  written  with  yet  (  or  much  )  but  love  seeing  around  my  dash  all  the  same  !   you’re  all  so  great  and  are  doing  so  so  well  with  your  muses,  and  i’d  love  to  get  to  know  you  all.

@aracniido​.    ✦

     sam weaves to and fro on his skateboard like a robin fluttering through the breeze --- with great grace and efficiency, and a second-nature intuition. it’s at a slow pace so that miles can keep up, and the sounds of the city drown out the rustle of paint cans in their bags.        ❝  how much farther is this spot, anyway?  ❞       sam looks to his friend with curiosity --- and with a little bit of impatience.        ❝  i still dunno why you wouldn’t let me just fly us there.  ❞

[stardestined]

he finished it–––– his latest picture finally out of his sketchbook and up on a wall. he'd worked hard on his tribute to nova: his signature helmet, a moon and stars, and NOVA in bright, bold letters. the picture he took was hasty in his nervousness, a landscape from a few feet away, and he didn't check to see what the reply is to the picture and short message of, 'put this up for you––––like it?' he sent before putting the phone in his pocket and packing his paints away. why was he so nervous?

@aracniido. kai sniped me

     sam feels his phone buzz somewhere under his blanket, and he gropes blindly around the sheets to grab it --- half-asleep, only half-knowing what he’s doing. it’s a little bit after dinner in arizona, and sam had decided to take a nap before going out to fly around for the night. sleep is a rare and valuable commodity for him, you see. he’s out in space for days at a time more often than not, and it isn’t easy to find a safe bed out there in the stars ---- but his plan to get some shut-eye is quickly derailed by a beeping phone and a text from a friend.

     he blinks at it, for a minute. doesn’t really know what miles means. put this up for you--- put what up? sam blinks the sleep out of his eyes in an attempt to feel a little more awake, but the clutches of a post-meal nap are unfairly strong. when he does wake up a little more though, he rolls onto his back and stifles a big yawn, noticing that miles had attached a picture to his message too.

     and that picture makes him feel like he’s still trapped in a dream.

     he zooms in and out on the semi-blurry picture, brows furrowed in confusion and in baffled surprise. the moon and stars sitting crisp and bright on top of a dark galaxy background, his name cut in swooping letters and bold colour, the intense red of his helmet’s star stamped in the middle of the piece with confidence and pride. it’s surreal. it’s not just nova --- it’s him. that’s his helmet. that’s his nova. sam refreshes the app, trying to trouble-shoot if this fever-dream is a reality or not, and it’s still there, staring back at him, when he clicks into his chat with miles. put this up for you---- like it?

                 he ---- he made this for me?

     sam’s face feels hot; like he’s been breathing under a weighted blanket for ten minutes, or stuffed in a sauna room, or ran a mile down the road on a hot summer day, or just been gifted a tribute art piece by his best friend who he totally hasn’t been crushing on at all, ever. never ever. his cheeks are warm, pink, flush with fluttery feelings and flattery and ever-beating butterflies, and he just. pulls the covers over his face for a moment and tosses his phone down to bounce off the mattress for a second. he needs a second!

     why miles would do this for him is beyond him --- it really came out of nowhere, and it’s so sweet and generous and meaningful and thoughtful (all things that miles absolutely is, of course) that sam can’t just type out a ‘wow, looks great man! ty!’ text and be done with it. he can’t! it couldn’t possibly be right! so he musters whatever courage is left in his little flustered heart and hops out of bed, pops his phone into his pocket, grabs his helmet---- and starts on his familiar fly across the country. it’s darker out here in brooklyn than it is back home ( there is a three-hour time difference, after all! ), but it’s no matter to sam. he makes his way up the familiar path to miles’ residence, looking around to make sure no one sees him coming, and when the coast is clear, he knocks quietly on miles’ window like a pigeon tapping the sill for crumbs. when the spider sees him and opens it up, sam smiles so big and so bright.  ( he’s so happy! he’s so crazy happy! )  he props his elbows up on the windowsill, leaning his cheek in one of his palms while his grin competes for the brightest light on the city skyline.

           ❝  hey, man. i heard there’s a sick new superhero mural downtown. real cool stuff. wanna go check it out? i wonder if i’ll get to meet the artist and get his autograph----  ❞

@aracniido.

     sam’s always had a hard time making friends.

     maybe it stemmed from the fact that he always had his head in the clouds ( or, rather, the stars ) as a kid, or it was that he was rowdy, and then angry, and then eventually known to be prone to fighting. maybe it was because people made fun of him and he didn’t sit down to take it. maybe it was because his dad was his school janitor, and a janitor that couldn’t stay sober enough to do his job on his own, at that.

     the last one seems the most fitting.

     scrubbing stalls at your own school while your dad nurses a hangover is not the finest impression you could make on your peers --- and it’s one that stuck with sam, his whole life. kids are mean. he dealt with a lot of bullies. didn’t want to open up to anyone else, out of fear of being ridiculed. the only friends he has in carefree, he’d spent countless months pushing them away to protect them from who he became: nova, a sworn protector of the galaxy.

     and then, he met spider-man and ms. marvel, and making friends didn’t feel like it was so hard anymore.

     they’re resting on a rooftop over brooklyn after an impromptu patrol when the spider nudges him and calls him his friend, and sam blinks his big, glowing nova eyes at him and stares. he stares because it feels so surreal; to have someone that he trusts standing by his side, calling him his friend, making an effort to reach out to him and let him know. sam feels like he’s in the dark so much of the time --- his life is split into so many different pieces and stretched across so many different places that he often feels so pulled apart, like taffy, bubblegum, an elastic band wrapped over and over again. so it’s nice... to have someone by him. 

     an anchor.

     sam’s dumbfounded stare soon turns into a warm look with a smile, cheeks dusted pink ( thank you, night sky, for hiding that ), a soft laugh bubbling up from his chest. spider-man is someone that he feels so incredibly comfortable with; it’s like they’ve been friends for years already, and that they’ll keep being friends for a very long time. sam nudges him back, a playful elbow into his side as the city’s neon signs twinkle like nightlights. 

                 ❝  ---yeah, and you’re mine.  ❞
