Summary: Gwen apologizes to Miles for hurting him. But it doesn’t all go according to plan.

It’s all over now, at least for most people. Spot was defeated, but Gwen still had to do something, which she was dreading.

She had to apologize to Miles.

She knew where he was, or at least had a pretty good idea of where he could be. So she didn't hesitate going there.

And just like Gwen expected, Miles was at the Williamsburg Bank Building. Gwen slowly walked up to him. Miles' spider-senses alerted him and he looked behind him. He saw Gwen approaching him, but he didn't want to see her. Not right now.

“You betrayed me, Gwen. I am upset. I really thought I could trust you.” Those words hit Gwen hard, really hard. She felt the tears rolling down her face. “You were the person I could trust the most, and this is what you do?”

Miles turned away, and Gwen felt hurt. “You have every right to be upset, Miles. What I did was really fucked up. And I can understand if you don't ever wanna see me again.” Gwen stopped talking for a second, trying to stop herself from crying. “I just wanted you to know that I care about you. And I would do fucking anything to take back what I did.”

“I wanted to visit you, you're the reason I wanted to join the society-”

“I know you're lying. I'm not the only reason.” Miles now felt tears in his eyes as well. “Just get away from me.”

“Miles, please!” Gwen was now desperate to try and fix this. She couldn't lose another friend because of something she did. “Didn't you hear me? Please, go away now!”

Gwen felt more tears roll down her face. She didn't know what to say anymore, but she was extremely desperate to try and fix this. She couldn't lose Miles, she loved him too much for that.

“Miles I just-”

“Gwen, I don't wanna speak to you.”

“Please, just-”

“I'm done with you Gwen! You can’t just betray me like that and expect me to-”

“Miles, I love you! Please…”

Miles' eyes widened a bit. This entire time Gwen felt the same way about him. “I felt the same way. Now I don't know how I feel about it.”

Gwen felt like she deserved that, she did hurt him after all. “I'll leave you alone now. But if you ever wanna talk about it, or visit anyone, Hobie made you a watch.” She said, giving him a box.

With that, Gwen put her hood and mask back on and swung across Brooklyn, waiting to get to a spot far away from Miles. She didn't feel ready to leave Earth-1610 yet, she just needed to be there for one more time in case things won't be good again. She sat on a rooftop somewhere, observing 1610's New York for maybe the last time.

Gwen wasn't going to try and hold it all in anymore, she let her tears fall, she let herself cry. She was so disappointed in herself. The only friend she had, she lost. It's like she couldn't keep friends because she would be the one to get them out of her life again. Gwen killed her best friend, now she has lost another close friend because she choose a fucked up society over him, one that thinks it's okay to let someone die, just because a story is supposed to go that way.

But then again, Gwen Stacy was never meant to fall in love. If she falls in love, she falls to her death. It's always been like that.

In every other universe, Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man.

And in every other universe, it doesn't end well.

Even in this one...

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

[demigods-posts]

i lowkey forget that percy's full name is perseus. and like. that name goes so hard. because it just sounds like this mf could kick your ass. like imagine you're a junior in high school and your teacher introduces a new student by the name of 'perseus jackson'. and before you even raise your head to look at the guy. you just know this mf could clock you.
