Pen and Janey finding the fanfiction about them. Some is definitely gross but there's a lot of cute or funny stuff that Pen honestly doesn't mind reading about because it's nice. There might be a ship war or two. People who ship Pen with Janey vs people who ship Janey with Spider-Girl. Possibly even people who ship Pen with Spider-Girl (after all, some people did think that Peter and Spidey were dating a few times in canon). MJ was the one who discovered it and she won't let Pen live it down.

There’s so many Pen/Janey/Spider-Girl fics and Pen is just.....,,, not sure where she went wrong in life

Janey is LIVING

[paramountie]

End of Year Writing Meme!

Do the thing if you want!

Fics posted in 2017:

A Crooked Mile: Bruce, Jason, and Agatha Christie. Through the years.

All That We Were: “What do you think the deal is anyway?” Peter asks. “My money’s on dreamscape.”

“Twenty bucks says it’s an alternate universe.”

“Nuh-uh, pal. It’s a dream for sure. Or a nightmare.”

Widower: He books a flight to America as soon as he can. Not back to New York. New York is too familiar and clogged with people. People with Dickie’s golden hair and Dickie’s delicate hands. People with Peter’s sloping neck, Peter’s rolling laugh, Peter’s smooth skin.He wants to be alone. He wants to go someplace where no one will ever look at him.

Little by Little: Six times Tiger found himself stuck in Bludhaven.

I’m Gay and You Can Too: Over the next couple of weeks, everyone started coupling off. Jack and Eric grew suspiciously cuddly. Rachel seemed to have stolen Topanga’s vegan girlfriend. Just when Shawn thought the campus had gotten as gay as possible, he found out that Topanga was hooking up with Angela. Angela.

This year I wrote and posted: 5 stories in 4 different fandoms. Thanks, ADHD attention span. 

Total wordcount: 41299 Overall Thoughts: I wrote so much! I didn’t expect this! Starting to write fanfic seriously has been so good for me and has made me a much stronger writer. And it’s given me actual finished work (to read aloud to my mom.) Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted? This is hard to answer bc it’s more fic than I’ve ever written before, but also I always overestimate how much I can write.  What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January? The Talented Mr. Ripley, lol. I didn’t even know that movie existed in January.  This year’s theme and the story that demonstrates it most: The theme seems to be guilt? Both Little by Little and Widower are about murderers and guilt, and A Crooked Mile has a scene talking about murder too. This seems to be the weird way I’m working through my OCD guilt complex. 

What’s your own favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest? I am very proud of Little by Little. It is so long! I I am so happy with how the ending turned out! Also the middle!

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them? I mean, writing this much fic at all was kind of a risk? And Widower felt risky. It was the most depressing thing I’ve written, honestly. 

My best story of this year: I like them all for different reasons! 

My most popular story of this year: All That We Were! I’m still shocked about the amount of kudos.  

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I don’t feel under-appreciated bc I mostly write for small/dead fandoms so I’m always happy with the amount of kudos and comments I get! Of course, I wish the Boy Meets World fandom was bigger, mainly so I’d have more fics to read. 

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January? Seriously, The Talented Mr. Ripley is going to be the answer for all of these. 

My least favorite story this year: I am super proud of All That We Were but I keep wishing I could redo the ending! It felt too rushed to me. Although it took me a couple tries the first time, so idk if I’d ever be happy with it.  Most fun story to write: Definitely A Crooked Mile. Every scene with baby Jason made me so happy. Story with the sweetest moment: Obvs every scene with Baby Jason in A Crooked Mile. I am especially proud of this line: “‘I don’t think any detective could decipher the inner workings of your mind, Jay,’ Bruce said, and Jason wiggled in his seat, pleased.” Story with the single sexiest moment: uhhhhhhh they are all G or T so idk. There’s a lot of shirtlessness in Little by Little though.  

Most “Holy crap, that’s wrong, even for you” story: Widower. It’s not wrong it’s just... a very intimate look into the mind of a murderer! We’ve all written stuff like that, haven’t we, folks? Most overdue: I’d been planning All That We Were and Little by Little for a long time before I wrote them. And most of my plans for Little by Little are still unwritten and waiting for the sequels. 

Most eye roll-worthy title: All my titles are perfect thank you very much. I’m Gay and You Can Too is the best one though. Also I can’t stop thinking about this review of Widower by @freeyukimakoto: “the SECOND Tom called himself a widower I was like YEAH. YEAH. YOU ARE MATT DAMON. THE SAME WAY A BLACK WIDOW IS A WIDOWER WHAT THE FUCK MATT DAMON YOU DAMN PLAYED YOUR GODDAMN SELF.”

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Little by Little required putting a Lot of thought into Tiger’s potential backstory and motivations, so now I have a detailed headcanon that actual canon can never take away from me.  Hardest story to write: Widower was v emotionally exhausting, and kinda depressing. But I am proud of it now that it is finished.  Biggest Disappointment: I really wanted to write something for the Spideytorch Big Bang but alas! Homework Came For My Life Biggest Surprise: Every single one of these fics turned out so much longer than I’d planned, and they were all longer than any other fics I’ve written before.  Most Unintentionally Telling Story: Widower. Gdi. I haven’t murdered anyone I swear.  Favorite opening line: It shouldn’t have been a surprise that Cory figured out he was gay because of a self-help book. (I’m Gay and You Can Too) Favorite closing line: “I’ll try not to disappoint, Jay.” (A Crooked Mile)

How To Submit Your Draft

Writers, there’s a little over two weeks until drafts are due! You can, of course, submit your draft as soon as it is finished. Your draft must be at least 80% done with all major gaps clearly outlined for your artist. (The outlines don’t need to be complicated -- something like “they kiss here” is good enough, but your artist should have a clear idea of what goes on in each scene.) Drafts must be e-mailed to spideytorchbb@gmail.com before 11:59 PM EST on October 8th.

Along with your draft, you must send the following form filled out:

Universe: (for example: 616/Ultimate/Adventures – if it’s an AU simply say so) Rating: (General/Teen/Mature/Explicit) Warnings: (please be as detailed as possible for your future artist – this is less “what you’ll be tagging” and more “what you need your collaborator to know”, so feel free to be detailed) Summary: (make this is a little more detailed than you usually would – this is the hook you’ll be using to catch your future artist’s attention!)

for example:

Universe: AU Rating: M Warnings: canon-typical violence, implied past assault, body horror Summary: When Johnny almost drowns during a fight with the Sub-Mariner, he never really expects to see his savior again. He only remembers flashes – messy dark hair, strong arms and dark water. But there definitely aren’t mermaids in the Hudson. Right? Meanwhile, Manhattan’s villains are facing a new threat from the depths. Or: the one where Peter Parker got bitten by a radioactive spider… crab. Featuring mystery, romance, annoyed Atlanteans, the soundtrack from The Little Mermaid, and a lot of making out in a body of water nobody should be making out in.

If you have any questions, now is the time to ask! Happy writing, authors!

Artists, signups are still open! To sign up as an artist for the 2017 Spideytorch Big Bang, please fill out this form.

Top 5/Bottom 5 Works

Rules: tag the person who tagged you, always post the rules, answer the questions, and add the date!

What are your five most popular works? What are your five least popular works? Are you surprised? Why? Optional: If you want to calculate this, what are your works’ average number of notes/kudos/comments? Today’s date, so you can see how your results might change if you do this again in a year.

Tag six people to do this next!

Tagged by @sineala! Tagging @amielleon, @hladgerd, @lamujerarana, @amaronith, @bipeteparker, and @brella and of course anyone else who wants to do the thing.

Sorting by kudos, and today’s date is August 3rd, 2017.

Top 5 most popular:

The Masked Man (Who Has Everything) (X-Men: First Class, Erik/Charles, background Hank/Alex): The Batman!Magneto fic, where Magneto is Batman. This has such a far lead on everything else lol but it’s the big ship for a big fandom, and it’s a fusion with another big fandom, so I’m not surprised. I like to think it’s pretty funny, too. Much like Sineala’s most popular fic, I wrote this one pretty quickly, but again given the circumstances it’s not surprising that it’s the top dog.

Keep Throwing Things and Slamming the Door (Marvel 616-based AU, Spideytorch): I am thrilled that my second most popular fic is Spideytorch, though! Last time I filtered my work through kudos I think this came out third of fourth. This is like the first “big” (not as in length, but y’know) Spideytorch fic I posted, and it’s identity porn, which always seems to do well. I have a big soft spot for this one since it was the fic that seemed to start getting the ship some attention, at least from where I was concerned.

leave the gun on the table (MCU/616 fusion, Clint/Bucky): Man, this fic. I’m happy I wrote it, because it taught me a lot about writing a longer fic, but if I was writing it now I’d do a lot different. This was for the Marvel Big Bang and the artist I landed did some stunning pieces, though.

Trials and Tribulations (Young Justice, gen): This is cute trope-y gen fic for a sizable fandom. I am a little surprised at how popular it is, but y’know, it’s Cute.

Say You Will, Say You Won't (Marvel 616, Spideytorch): Fake Married! :D Another big Spideytorch moment for me. It’s marriage of convenience that flirts with identity porn (the world does not know the Human Torch has married Spider-Man, just plain Peter Parker) with bonus Negative Zone angst, so it’s got a trope-y draw. If Keep Throwing Things was the moment I was like, huh, maybe this ship can gain some fandom traction, then Say You Will was the fic that made me sure. (Not being dramatic, but I’ve watched the ship landscape change from 2015 to 2017 and a lot has happened.) Proud of it for making the top 5.

Bottom 5 least popular: 

Wherever I'm With You (FAKE, Ryo/Dee): Yuletide fic for a small manga fandom, canon-and-popular ship. I signed up to write this fandom but didn’t expect to actually land it, but rereading the canon was a lot of fun. (I still think you could make a great live action miniseries adaptation of FAKE.) Gotta say, I’m pretty pleased that my fifth least popular fic has any many kudos as it does. 

a shower of autumn leaves (Tamir Trilogy, Tamir/Ki): Another Yuletide fic, and a treat for my friend Amielleon who I believe got me to read the books in the first place. It’s a canon ship, it’s for a rare book fandom, etc. 

Enjoy The Trip (See You Next Fall) (Squirrel Girl/Nextwave crossover): It’s a crossover! Between Squirrel Girl and Nextwave! IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO BE AS FUNNY IN THE VOICE OF EITHER OF THOSE SERIES, LET ALONE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME but some people told me I succeeded and I choose to believe them.

In Distress (Fire Emblem 10, Pelleas/Micaiah): It’s a het rarepair AU ficlet for an older video game fandom, I’m not shocked.

And Go Seek (Kingdom Hearts, gen): I just barely remember writing this. It’s very short. They play hide and seek on the beach. That’s it. That’s the whole fic.

... Out of curiosity, I wanted to see what my Top 5 vs Bottom 5 fics looked liked filtered just down to Spideytorch, too, so here they are:

Top 5

Keep Throwing Things and Slamming the Door (616-based AU)

Say You Will, Say You Won't (616)

Kind, Sober, and Fully Dressed (616): Picks up right after the time in canon where Johnny asks Peter if he wants to come over and watch his sex tape with him, because what was I supposed to do, NOT write a fic continuing on from there? PS WHY DID MARVEL PUBLISH A COMIC WHERE AT THE END JOHNNY ASKS PETER IF HE WANTS TO COME OVER AND WATCH HIS SEX TAPE. Then they hid it on Marvel Unlimited, where it took 5 years for Spideytorch fandom to discover. Cruel, Marvel. Anyway, this one was a lot of fun to write. I’m a little surprised it’s as high up as it is, but I guess “character canonically asked best friend over to watch his sex tape, here’s what happens NEXT” is a pretty good hook, and I think I chose a good couple of lines for the summary.

Getting Better All the Time (616): Say You Will, Say You Won’t’s sequel! I had so much fun writing this fic, and on top of that it was so easy to write, too. Johnny and celebrity is always one of my favorite subjects to look at. It’s the sequel to my second most popular fic, it’s on the longer side for fics for this ship, and it’s about them being MARRIED, so I guess it makes sense that it’s up so high.

Tales From The Back Pages (616): The soulmate AU! I think this one has the trope advantage -- out of all the top 5, it’s by far the newest. I always told myself if I was ever going to write a soulmate AU for them, I’d want to play into the identity porn and have Johnny speak his first words to Spider-Man, but Peter without the mask speak his first words to Johnny. Then I looked back at their first meetings and realized that in ASM #1, Spider-Man never directly addresses Johnny, and this was, in fact, exactly how it happened, and then I had to write it. (A later Fantastic Four comic has them talk directly to each other during the first meeting, but hey, I don’t have to count retcons.) First time writing a soulmate AU and it was fun to play with.

Bottom 5

Second Chance (What If?/Marvel Adventures/Marvel Noir/616): A five times first kisses fic featuring the multiverse. This one’s fairly new, and the summary’s pretty bare bones, and I don’t know if it was as fun to read as it was fun for me to write, since I just really like playing around with different versions of canon. I almost wrote a Marvel Zombies first kiss, which I would have definitely gotten disgusting with. Romantic. But disgusting.

Echoes (616): A little Uncanny Avengers #12 tag where Johnny has complicated, guilty feelings about his hand in the death of Hank Pym, and doesn’t tell Peter about them while they cuddle on the couch. Not surprised this one is on the low side -- it’s better if you’ve read the issue, and it’s just short, plotless hurt/comfort where nothing happens but Johnny is sad. (I really like writing Johnny being sad. Sorry.)

the length and breadth of the sea (Marvel 1602): This is the prequel to my first 1602 Spideytorch and it’s another one of those fics where if I was writing it now I’d probably write it a little different. It’s a little older for Spideytorch fic (2012), and it’s for a niche version of canon, so I’m not surprised. On the other hand, it IS tagged #dinosaurs, which you think would be incentive.

Hands On (616): The six arms Spider-Man smut! This is new, only about a week old, so it explains why it’s so low. Then again it is a PWP about Peter having six arms and Johnny being turned on by that, so uh, maybe that’s why it’s low.

the lay of your lands (Marvel 1602): And my first 1602 fic! Another one I would write a little differently if I was doing it over again. For one, I didn’t pay enough attention to important 1602 details, like Namor wanting to make Sue and Johnny undersea sex slaves. The summary’s pretty bare bones, it’s a niche canon, it’s established relationship that’s only 2k, and I didn’t tag it #dinosaurs, even though I’m pretty sure there’s pterodactyls in it. That probably explains it.

Summaries repeated under the cut:

JAILBREAK

Universe: AU [616-based] Rating: M Warnings: college rejection/dropouts, morally grey decisions, breaking and entering, involving a teenager in illegal things, dubious consent due to alcohol (not painted in a good light), manipulation, sexual regret, mentions of canon compliant character death, shady and illegal government organizations, prison Summary: When Johnny Storm is fourteen years old, Reed Richards and Ben Grimm move next door. Due to his sister’s strange attraction to them, and his intense love for his sister, Johnny finds himself sucked further into their world, until one night Reed decides to steal a spaceship and bam – along come the Fantastic Four. At first, the F4 are heroes, but they soon take a menacing turn, and it takes a chance run-in with Spider-Man, the new kid on the block, to remind Johnny that he can be a hero again. But when things take a turn for the worse, Johnny is left alone in a world of heroes, desperately fighting to find his family (and maybe even himself). Or: the Fantastic Four are well-meaning but evil, SHIELD is generally shady, Johnny kisses boys he shouldn’t, Peter Parker has a hot girlfriend and a motorcycle, and Spider-Man is always in Johnny Storm’s corner. 

FAMILY

Universe: 616, but current canon is more of a suggestion than anything Rating: Mature Warnings: Kidfic (but not mpreg), Peter Parker’s Poor Decision Making Skills, Tentacles, Implied Foggy Nelson/Matt Murdock/ Kirsten McDuffie , HEAVILY Implied Venom Symbiote/Flash Thompson Harry Osborn/Flash Thompson and Venom/Harry/Flash, child illness, Johnny Is Shirtless All The Time Because Reasons Summary:   Peter always thought he’d have more of a say over when he had a kid, that it would be something decided between him and his hypothetical lover some time down the line. But between his board of directors insinuating that the public doesn’t trust a single and child-free CEO, and a rather insistent alien queen wanting him as some kind of stud male to save her people,  Peter’s ‘someday maybe’ plan has ended up becoming 'no time like the present’ when said alien queen gifts Peter with an egg. Inside? A baby made up of his and Johnny Storm’s DNA, because name dropping Johnny Storm to get out of hot water was never a good idea. In the face of Johnny’s depression over his still missing family, Peter decides that Johnny could never know the baby was his, too. Instead, Peter invites Johnny to live with him as the baby’s nanny, because living with the guy you have over a decade and a half of repressed romantic feelings for and raising your daughter together under false pretenses is a plan that can’t possibly back fire. Good Job, Pete.

WOLF

Universe: MTV-Teen-Wolf-inspired AU Rating: Mature Warnings: secondary characters’ deaths including a police shooting scene, bullying incidents, scenes with Peter in chains, mild horror content (a wild werewolf chasing and threatening Peter), expletives (swearwords), animalistic characteristics of Peter in some scenes, shapeshifting into a werewolf, violent incidents, some scenes are heavily influenced by the Teen Wolf series Summary: When Peter gets dragged by Gwen into the Central Park in the middle of the night to look for a body he doesn’t expect to be bitten by a werewolf (it’s not like they exist, right?), but that’s exactly what happens. His life takes rapid turn, he’s lost his uncle, a crazed killer alpha werewolf is trying to get to him, and he can’t even control his own body. To make the matters worse the fate seems to like playing with him as it turns out that the only person who can calm him down is none other than Johnny Storm, a self-absorbed cheerleader who seems to embody everything that Peter hates. But maybe being a werewolf won’t be as bad as Peter thought…

SPIDER

Universe: AU Rating: M Warnings: violence, drug addiction as a minor plot point (Harry Osborn), alcoholic parental figure/legal guardian, a lot of bruises and visible physical injuries on Peter, one usage of a homophobic slur, one usage of a racial slur, heavily implied child abuse (and child abuse is discussed), very minor Peter/Flash is sort of there technically, perceived relationship between an adult and a minor, keep your eyes wide open and you’ll still probably miss it but it’s definitely in there reference to canonical childhood sexual abuse, a brief Spanish language conversation that while is not google translate bad I also am not very strong at Spanish, and I think that about covers it Summary: Possibly the worst part of being a superhero was dealing with villains such as the notorious and mysterious Spider. But Johnny has bigger problems to deal with. His girlfriend just left him for some twerp named Peter Parker. He meets the kid and he sort of gets the appeal. Oh god, no. Of course Parker has no clue what Johnny’s talking about when Johnny calls him out for stealing his girlfriend. The Spider has nothing on this sort of terror. Or: AU where Peter Parker chose to be a super villain instead. Featuring Johnny not knowing jack about Les Mis, Snitch the teddy bear, the magic of criminal profiling, “Dorrie Evans? Isn’t she gay?”, and a completely made up super villain origin story.

Additional Information from the author: In this fic Johnny and Peter are both Latino. To be more specific Johnny is Mexican and Peter is Puerto Rican. I felt that was something an artist should be aware of going in.

MULTIVERSE

Universe: Main Universe: 616, Guest Universes: Fant4stic, World’s Greatest Heroes, an original universe or two Rating: T or M Warnings: A character dealing with intense grief over an AU character’s death Summary: Johnny’s been hopelessly in love with Peter almost as long as he’s known him, but he’s never told Peter how he feels. During his lengthy stint in a Negative Zone prison, he promised himself that he’d finally tell Peter the truth if he ever sees him again. He’s been back a few weeks, but he still hasn’t been able to work up the courage. When he and Peter step through the Inhuman Eldrac, a magic door, he and Peter are jointly sent on a trip through the multiverse, where they encounter version after version of themselves, all in different stages of their lives…all of whom are deeply in love. Could Eldrac possibly be trying to tell them something? Featuring mutual pining, angst, babies, weddings, old marrieds, a widower, and tons of Peter being his usual oblivious (and possessive) self.

MORNINGSTAR

Universe: AU Rating: E Warnings: Canon and fairy tale typical violence, references to self-immolation, brief sexual assault (a forced kiss) in an encounter with the villain. The explicit rating is due to consensual sex between Johnny and Peter. Peter is a giant talking spider for part of the fic. Summary: When Johnny makes a deal with the monster that lives in the woods – himself for his sister’s happiness – he doesn’t expect the giant spider to take him to a beautiful castle, or to reveal himself a cursed prince. There’s only one catch: he’s only a man in the darkest night, and Johnny can never see his face. Still, they grow closer, and Johnny is happy with their strange arrangement – until a visit home ruins everything. Now he must travel east of the sun and west of the moon to reclaim Peter from the Goblin King. An East of the Sun, West of the Moon/Polar Bear King-inspired AU.

BARK

Universe: no clear universe, it’s a mashup (character-wise, I follow Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker pretty closely, but Johnny is also a bit of a mashup based on how I see him) Rating: Teen Warnings: canon-typical violence, kissing, injuries, brief nakedness (when Johnny gets turned back to human), Johnny is a literal dog for most of the fic, underage drinking (Johnny is nineteen), cursing (including at least three uses of the f-bomb), animal violence and abuse (dog fighting ring), non-consensual drugging (chloroforming Johnny while he’s in dog-form) Summary: A witch turns Johnny into a yellow lab, effectively leaving him in the middle of New York City with four paws, no way to communicate, and oh yeah - a dog that can flame on isn’t exactly inconspicuous. All his instincts scream for him to run home, but to his confusion, his paws aren’t leading him to the Baxter Building. Aka Johnny Storm turns up at a run down apartment near Empire State University only to discover that the apartment belongs to one Peter Parker. Only problem is, Johnny doesn’t know that Peter is Spider-Man, and Peter doesn’t know that Johnny is a dog.

CIVILIAN

Universe: AU Rating: Teen Warnings: canon-typical violence, identity porn Summary: Peter Parker meets and starts dating Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four, which is unusual, as Johnny is a super-human super-star and Peter is…not. Competing with an adoring public and the frustration of being stuck on the ground while Johnny is up in the sky makes Peter wonder if he fits in with Johnny’s spectacular life. Then he gets a bite from a certain spider and becomes Spider-Man! Problem solved, right? The only issue: Johnny hates Spider-Man. Misunderstandings and hilarity ensue.

This post will remain up until the 20th or until all summaries have been claimed a second time.

JAILBREAK

Universe: AU [616-based] Rating: M Warnings: college rejection/dropouts, morally grey decisions, breaking and entering, involving a teenager in illegal things, dubious consent due to alcohol (not painted in a good light), manipulation, sexual regret, mentions of canon compliant character death, shady and illegal government organizations, prison Summary: When Johnny Storm is fourteen years old, Reed Richards and Ben Grimm move next door. Due to his sister's strange attraction to them, and his intense love for his sister, Johnny finds himself sucked further into their world, until one night Reed decides to steal a spaceship and bam -- along come the Fantastic Four. At first, the F4 are heroes, but they soon take a menacing turn, and it takes a chance run-in with Spider-Man, the new kid on the block, to remind Johnny that he can be a hero again. But when things take a turn for the worse, Johnny is left alone in a world of heroes, desperately fighting to find his family (and maybe even himself). Or: the Fantastic Four are well-meaning but evil, SHIELD is generally shady, Johnny kisses boys he shouldn't, Peter Parker has a hot girlfriend and a motorcycle, and Spider-Man is always in Johnny Storm's corner.

FAMILY

Universe: 616, but current canon is more of a suggestion than anything Rating: Mature Warnings: Kidfic (but not mpreg), Peter Parker's Poor Decision Making Skills, Tentacles, Implied Foggy Nelson/Matt Murdock/ Kirsten McDuffie , HEAVILY Implied Venom Symbiote/Flash Thompson Harry Osborn/Flash Thompson and Venom/Harry/Flash, child illness, Johnny Is Shirtless All The Time Because Reasons Summary:   Peter always thought he'd have more of a say over when he had a kid, that it would be something decided between him and his hypothetical lover some time down the line. But between his board of directors insinuating that the public doesn't trust a single and child-free CEO, and a rather insistent alien queen wanting him as some kind of stud male to save her people,  Peter's 'someday maybe' plan has ended up becoming 'no time like the present' when said alien queen gifts Peter with an egg. Inside? A baby made up of his and Johnny Storm's DNA, because name dropping Johnny Storm to get out of hot water was never a good idea. In the face of Johnny's depression over his still missing family, Peter decides that Johnny could never know the baby was his, too. Instead, Peter invites Johnny to live with him as the baby's nanny, because living with the guy you have over a decade and a half of repressed romantic feelings for and raising your daughter together under false pretenses is a plan that can't possibly back fire.

Good Job, Pete.

WOLF

Universe: MTV-Teen-Wolf-inspired AU Rating: Mature Warnings: secondary characters’ deaths including a police shooting scene, bullying incidents, scenes with Peter in chains, mild horror content (a wild werewolf chasing and threatening Peter), expletives (swearwords), animalistic characteristics of Peter in some scenes, shapeshifting into a werewolf, violent incidents, some scenes are heavily influenced by the Teen Wolf series Summary: When Peter gets dragged by Gwen into the Central Park in the middle of the night to look for a body he doesn’t expect to be bitten by a werewolf (it’s not like they exist, right?), but that’s exactly what happens. His life takes rapid turn, he’s lost his uncle, a crazed killer alpha werewolf is trying to get to him, and he can’t even control his own body. To make the matters worse the fate seems to like playing with him as it turns out that the only person who can calm him down is none other than Johnny Storm, a self-absorbed cheerleader who seems to embody everything that Peter hates. But maybe being a werewolf won't be as bad as Peter thought...

SPIDER

Universe: AU Rating: M Warnings: violence, drug addiction as a minor plot point (Harry Osborn), alcoholic parental figure/legal guardian, a lot of bruises and visible physical injuries on Peter, one usage of a homophobic slur, one usage of a racial slur, heavily implied child abuse (and child abuse is discussed), very minor Peter/Flash is sort of there technically, perceived relationship between an adult and a minor, keep your eyes wide open and you'll still probably miss it but it's definitely in there reference to canonical childhood sexual abuse, a brief Spanish language conversation that while is not google translate bad I also am not very strong at Spanish, and I think that about covers it Summary:  Possibly the worst part of being a superhero was dealing with villains such as the notorious and mysterious Spider. But Johnny has bigger problems to deal with. His girlfriend just left him for some twerp named Peter Parker. He meets the kid and he sort of gets the appeal. Oh god, no. Of course Parker has no clue what Johnny's talking about when Johnny calls him out for stealing his girlfriend. The Spider has nothing on this sort of terror. Or: AU where Peter Parker chose to be a super villain instead. Featuring Johnny not knowing jack about Les Mis, Snitch the teddy bear, the magic of criminal profiling, "Dorrie Evans? Isn't she gay?", and a completely made up super villain origin story.

Additional Information from the author: In this fic Johnny and Peter are both Latino. To be more specific Johnny is Mexican and Peter is Puerto Rican. I felt that was something an artist should be aware of going in.

MULTIVERSE

Universe: Main Universe: 616, Guest Universes: Fant4stic, World’s Greatest Heroes, an original universe or two Rating: T or M Warnings: A character dealing with intense grief over an AU character’s death Summary: Johnny’s been hopelessly in love with Peter almost as long as he’s known him, but he’s never told Peter how he feels. During his lengthy stint in a Negative Zone prison, he promised himself that he’d finally tell Peter the truth if he ever sees him again. He’s been back a few weeks, but he still hasn’t been able to work up the courage. When he and Peter step through the Inhuman Eldrac, a magic door, he and Peter are jointly sent on a trip through the multiverse, where they encounter version after version of themselves, all in different stages of their lives…all of whom are deeply in love. Could Eldrac possibly be trying to tell them something? Featuring mutual pining, angst, babies, weddings, old marrieds, a widower, and tons of Peter being his usual oblivious (and possessive) self.
