#the symbiote is still in love with peter parker. he calls it back and back it goes.

[vulpinesaint]

back on the topic of eddie brock never being the first choice. crazy to me to think about the origin of the venom symbol which is that the symbiote Was With Spiderman First. the venom symbol is a slightly creepier version of the spiderman symbol with an extra bend in the legs cause it's the symbiote's best approximation of what it thought spiderman wanted. and when spiderman rejects the symbiote and venom shows up it's still the same suit just on a different person. the symbiote learned emotions from peter parker and it is angry and hurt at not being wanted but it stays in the form it thought he wanted... peter parker disarms eddie brock once by telling the symbiote that he wants it back and attacking once the symbiote starts to leave... eddie has such a hard time throughout the comics with the fact that the symbiote Will Leave Him if prompted by the right person. and be so honest. what would you do if you were eddie brock and no matter where you went or what you did there was a symbol that you were somebody else's second choice emblazoned across your chest

[ask-spiderpool]

Ngl ,i love your work,but it rubs me wrong how Peter's discomfort w venom doing sexual things without Peter's consent or knowledge is treated as a joke,or just generally kind of dismissed. Also- I'm autistic and love love love autistic peter parker hc,but the fact he was called 'on the spectrum' soley because he got upset at venom for this and 'couldn't put himself in venoms shoes' also kind of felt really bad.

ough, bless you anon! I really appreciate you vocalising your thoughts and concerns in a really sincere respectful way. I want to respond so you don't feel unheard!

I'd also like to take this chance to say that the actions of one Wade W. Wilson do not reflect the thoughts of the ask-spiderpool moderator. The ask-spiderpool moderator does not condone his words or actions. He is a bad man. The words he's saying are bad.

Deadpool is definitely playing the role of a villain here, and he's kind of intentionally choosing his words with the intention of punishing Peter and invalidating him. He knows what he's doing. And Spider-man knows it too.

I know it's something a lot of people don't like to see from Wade – but it's a part of his character that I find interesting to explore and to see him eventually overcome. His ability to weaponise everything, and his instinct of self-sabotage. It becomes dangerous territory to write sometimes because people generally want to side with Deadpool and believe he'll do no wrong, but - I don't know, to strip him of all his ugliness would be untrue to him. Similarly with Peter – I guess I'm just really interested in parts of Wade and Peter that you don't really get to see explored in fanon very often.

It's kind of a problem though that yeah - when you write this sort of a thing there's the risk of people who don't look at it critically - so you get people idolising or siding with Deadpool when what he's doing is really bad actually. It's kind of a miracle, the sorts of things Wade gets away with, while Peter's attacked for it - and that's something I kind of like to examine, too.

I think I do have a responsibility to make this blog feel safe, but also challenging and interesting - and I think I'll be working hard to kind of find a balance between the two. I'm still trying to figure it out - to write what I find interesting, knowing my own intentions but knowing it probably will be misinterpreted – or writing something else that is easy and pleasing to everyone (not really my bag, and also near impossible!), or just not write at all (also impossible for me! Got a brain-itch to scratch...)

I really appreciate when people read my writing and see what I'm getting at – but it doesn't always happen, and it isn't really anyone's fault. I kind of like to offer explanations and further meta, and the fics, because I love to be understood - and the server where I love to have discussions with people about how they receive these posts. The reason I love running this blog is the discussions I have with people about it. The back-and-forth, and so I really do love people to look at Wade and Peter a little deeper.

I have a genuine interest in autistic Peter and it's something I want to explore further in a sincere light, this is kind of just the first tease of something I want to explore more later, if the asks permit. I think every Peter Parker is autistic-coded - I've written a little bit about it here! I'm no expert on diagnosis - but as fantastical as ask-spiderpool can get sometimes - I kind of always want what Wade and Peter are going through in their heads to feel real and tangible and understandable, and come from a place of sincerity.

The consent issue is a complicated one – (as is the way with applying real-world-logic to the realm of alien sex with what you thought was just a slick space-age onesie...) Peter's relationship with the symbiote occupies more of a realm of metaphor than anything - and I don't think there's any sort of 1-to-1 comparison to the real world. (Has your sex-toy ever gained sentience and passed judgement upon you? Peter Parker's worst nightmare!)

There is a running theme of Peter kind of having his boundaries crossed - and the symbiote is sort of tied to that theme. The symbiote was entirely responsive to Peter's thoughts and didn't do anything Peter didn't will it to do - the real issue is the mortifying ordeal of being perceived. And it's a running theme with Peter - he hides so much and very often his privacy is violated.

It's often played for laughs, because Deadpool doesn't always take Spider-man's boundaries seriously and likes to push him – but it's something that will come to a head, and Peter will be laying down the law very soon.

I'm really thankful for your message anon, and I really hope this response reaches you with similar sincerity that you reached out to me with and that I'm understood! - I love you so much anon! My DMs over on @sciderman are also open if you'd like to talk to me more!

Which One?

[PS5 Peter Parker x Reader]

A/N: hii, i know I've been so inactive on here :( and I'm sorry anyways I absolutely adore PS5 Spidey and have been wanting to write for him, so here we go xx

Summary: Peter is forced to make a choice.

***

"MJ! Where's-? Harry..." Peter says breathlessly as he watches MJ sat opposite what used to be his best friend. Her face scared for whatever it was Harry had planned.

"Pete... you look tense." Harry smirks as he reaches out with a tendril. "Coffee?"

"We need to talk." Peter says as he glances between MJ and Harry.

"Ah-ah, not yet. We're still waiting on one more person. Your girlfriend." Harry says your name with a grin on his face. A tendril sneaks around MJ, pulling a seat out for Peter to sit down. "Sit. She's not here yet."

"No. Harry, you leave her out of this!" Peter says, fists clenched, but takes a seat. "She's got nothing to do with this. It's between you and me. Let her and MJ go."

Harry ignores Peter. "You must get tired, making the world a better place every... single day! But I can help. All you have to do is let me."

MJ glances at Harry, her face worried for her best friend, "Harry, this isn't you!"

"Wrong! This is the real me." Harry says almost comically, his eyebrow furrowing as he looked at Peter. He stands up, pushing the table away as he looks at Peter with fury.

The keys in the door rattle as it squeaks open and you walk in, face flushed almost as if you'd ran over here. "Hey Pete- I got your text, what hap-?" You were cut off as you took in the scene before you.

"Harry?" You say equally shocked and surprised that he was here. "I- I didn't know you were back- Pete you never mentioned it."

You quickly scan the room as you notice MJ sat in the corner. Peter, in his Spidey suit, sat next to her, jaw locked in anger as he looked at you hopelessly. MJ looked scared out her mind as she looked at you, then back to Harry, praying you would help them.

"Coffee?" Harry asks as he walks over to you, gently guiding you to sit next to him as he pours you some coffee. "We were having a lovely little chat about Peter sharing some of the load."

Peter's fist clenched in anger as he watched Harry touch you. "Don't do this Harry."

"Do what Pete?" Harry asked, lips turning into a smirk as he raised an eyebrow curiously. His hands placed on your shoulders as he gently pushed you to sit down. "I'm making her a coffee. Sugar, darling?"

"Oh, no thank you." You say, making eye contact with Pete opposite as you gently lifted your taser to show him. You watched as Peter's eyes widened and he tried to shake his head. Harry stands behind you, hands on your shoulders as he speaks. You shuffle forward awkwardly feeling very uncomfortable but Harry pulls you back gently.

"Peter, I finally have the power to realize our vision. Are you... giving up on me?" Harry says he tilts his head, eyes watching Peter as he stood up. Peter's eyes flicker between you and Harry.

"Harry..." Peter begins slowly, "We have to get that thing off you-"

The table in front of you snaps in half as you watch MJ shriek, standing up next to Peter. You breathe heavily as you watch the black tendril enlarge on the table, your eyes widen as it slithers over your body and back to Harry. Peter looked to MJ, to you then to Harry.

"Do not." Harry growls, both hands turning into black tendrils, holding the back of your chair tighter. "Call us a thing."

You whimper as the tendrils move closer to your neck. You clutch the taser tightly as you look at your boyfriend, "Peter..."

Within seconds, you rip out of the tendrils grip, out of Harry's grip, and shove the taser into his abdomen, activating it. You felt the buzz of it rebound as Harry and the Symbiote screech in agony.

The gun drops to the ground as you watch the Symbiote hiss. It's slimey tendrils grab the chair and throw it in the air in anger, before reaching for you. In an instant, Peter throws his webs out, pulling you to him just as the chair breaks where you previously were. Peter holds you against him, clutching you tightly as if his life depended on it.

"Harry..." Peter begins.

"We are not Harry." Harry growls, as his body begins to transform. The tendrils swirl around him, enveloping his body as he begins to grow. Harry's body gone as a menacing creature took its place, a creature manifested with a fanged mouth, teeth as sharp as blades and a tongue that looked as grotesque as the rest of it.

You could hear MJ's heavy breathing as her eyes grew at the sight of the Symbiote.

"We. Are. VENOM."

Harry's voice was mixed in with the symbiote before it completely took over. The Symbiote snarled as Peter pushed you and MJ behind him, arms out to protect the two of you. MJ grabbed your arm in case you needed to run.

Venom aimed a tendril at Peter, hitting him straight in the chest as you and MJ failed to pull him out the way. The three of you flew into the kitchen, Peter stuck in the wall, MJ on the table and you sprawled on the floor. You heard Venom's footsteps move closer as you crawled on the ground trying to find a weapon or something but was pulled back as Venom grabbed your leg, pulling you towards him.

You screamed in terror for Peter as you were dragged across the floor. Venom held you in the air by your leg before going after MJ.

"No!" You screamed as you tried to punch Venom, your attempts futile as he wrapped another tendril around your arms, holding you by your throat as you screamed, "Pete!"

MJ screamed as Venom went after her, grabbing her by the neck and holding her in front of him just as Peter burst out of the wall and screamed your name.

"Y/N!" Peter ran into the living room, his eyes landing on yours as he saw you and MJ on either side of Venom, both being held by your throats as you squirmed in his grip. "MJ!"

Venom snarls as his tongue swirls around your face, mouth widening in a mocking grin.

"Don't." Peter warns as he listens to the sound of yours and MJ's terrified screams.

"Choose..." Venom hissed as he squeezed MJ's throat tighter, making her scream.

"MJ!" Peter called out as he took a step forward only to have Venom growl lowly at him to keep back.

"Is that your choice? You'd let your girlfriend di-"

"No!" Peter screams in agony, arms reaching out to try and grab you. "No- no, don't do this! Don't make me choose- please?"

The Symbiote snarls in annoyance, "Pick. Now!"

"Take me, take me instead. You want me, not them! Take me! Let them go Harry..." Peter's eyes dart between the two of you, not wanting to lose either of you.

"You won't pick? Fine. I'll do it for you." Venom snarls as he throws MJ to the ground, engulfing her in his black tendrils. Her screams muffled as she is transformed into something else.

"Let her go!" Peter demands but MJ is already under his control, MJ now gone and another Symbiote in her place,"MJ!"

"Show him what he's missing..." Venom smirks as he takes a step back to admire his work.

"Peter!" You scream as Venom wraps his arms around you, gripping you against his chest as he holds you tightly.

"You can't have them!" Peter screams panicked as he throws a web to grab you but is cut off by MJ, who jumps in and rips it away, grinning at Peter.

"Too late! He's already got us." MJ snarls as she signals to Venom to go. Venom takes one look at Peter before jumping through the roof, taking you with him.

"Pete- Peter! No! No-" Your voice drowns out as you watch Peter's attempts to save you fail, as MJ thrawts each one.

"Y/N!"

Pt 2???

[leviathansshadycorner]

You’re spiderman?! Peter parker/ Spiderman x Venom! Reader 

A/n: bold is venom, words in bold are his opinions, bold in italics is you when you're ‘merged’ with venom, also toby peter was in mind when writing this but go ham on whichever peter you want it to be. Might write a part two lol.

Glass clinked against the metal stirring stick you were using to slosh around the blue liquid. You wanted to get the solution right on the first try. Not because you were an overachiever, but because you wanted to go home already. That and the little Alien that inhabited you was being annoying. It had been two months since agreeing to become Venom’s host. The first month was hell, in fact it’s the reason why you’re in your chemistry class after school. The chaos that came along with the symbiote was more than enough to help you fail your classes. The first few days with venom consisted of you destroying your bedroom, eating nasty old men, and wreaking havoc in the city. 

To make things worse, not only were the NYPD on your ass- but you also had a certain annoying neighborhood nuisance on your tail. In fact just last night you were tied onto a streetlamp by Spider-man, the nuisance himself, because it’s ‘not ethical’ to eat bad guys. You hated him. Sure he was a hero trying to rid the city of evil but so were you! Poor not-so-little Venom was so excited to become vigilantes, but his dreams got crushed after being categorized as a villain by the web-slinger. 

��WHEN DO WE GET TO GO HOME?” The Alien poked his small head out from your left boob. 

With urgency you shoved him back into your body. “Calm down!” 

Mrs. Nicholson and a few other students who were also making up some late work looked over at you, some confused others laughing at your sudden outburst. 

“Everything alright (Y/n)?” The tired chemistry teacher called over. 

A nervous laugh came out of your mouth, “Yeah sorry- just frustrated I guess.” 

“Frustrated? Do you need help?” She asked with concern. 

“N-no I’m fine.” You replied trying to look focused so she wouldn’t send over the student assistant. 

“Alright well Peter should be back from the bathroom if you need help, so just ask him for help ok?” Great. Just what you needed. 

See, it’s not that you hated Peter Parker, he was a pretty smart guy. He’s actually the only teacher’s assistant who isn’t a condescending smart ass that makes you feel bad about yourself for asking a question. He was helpful in these make-up labs  oftentimes being of more  use than the actual teacher. You never really spoke to him, you knew he had a rich hot friend and a crush on Mary Jane who you also never spoke to.  

“Back.” Speak of the devil.  The boy stepped into the classroom, his lab coat still on. Was that even considered sanitary? 

Immediately you felt Venom take over your eyes. Your (e/c) irises covered by a silky white lens film as he observed Peter. Now used to his antics- you shut your eyes tightly until you regained control of your eyes again. Taking the vial of stirred solution in your hands you carefully poured it into the main flask, once again hoping Mrs. Nicholson wouldn’t send Peter over. 

Unfortunately for you, the universe loved to see you suffer. “Peter, why don’t you go help (Y/n) over there?” She directed him to you. 

You mentally groaned when you saw Peter make his way over. You were sitting in the middle of the classroom just behind two students and in front of another. There were four of you in total, yet you were the only one who seemed to struggle. Surly chemistry was rigged against you or something right? 

“OOO YUM.” Venom growled as he tried to escape your body only to be pushed back in again before anyone could see him. 

“Did you say something?” Peter looked confused, his glasses moving upwards as he raised an eyebrow. 

“Huh? Oh no I was just saying that this solution looks yum…yummy.” The gross sludge in front of you did not look yummy, It looked like someone threw up a blue gatorade. “It’s not supposed to do that is it?” 

He shook his head, his blue eyes wide as he moved to prevent it from spilling. “No- it’s not. What did you put in here?” He carefully moved you out of the way and took over your station, cleaning up the mess you had made. “We might have to start over.” 

You would’ve felt bad about him having to fix your mess, but you were too caught up in the fact that you had to stay longer and redo the whole damn thing. 

“GAAAHHH!” Venom’s low voice fussed as he heard this news. Once again everybody’s eyes were on you. The heat rose to your face as you tried to play it off. 

“Sorry, guess I’m hungry.” 

Peter and you got to work. Since you had to redo the whole process the two of you were the last ones in the classroom, the other students leaving as soon as they finished. Mrs. Nicholson had even left, claiming that “Peter knows what he’s doing, You’re in good hands.” It wasn’t usual that Teacher’s left students alone in classrooms, especially in labs. However Peter was the exception. He was Midtown high’s resident nerd/teacher’s pet. Which was why he was always getting in trouble with Flash Thompson. The only thing keeping him from daily beatings being his friend Harry. 

“Alright, so now that it’s bubbling just compare the differences between this one and the one we put in cold water.” The boy said, moving his goggles to the side as he took them off. 

“That’s it? I’m done after that?” You eagerly asked, eyebrows high, astonished by the fact that you were the only one who could mess up a simple ass lab. 

“I mean we still gotta clean up, but yeah.” He offered a smile. 

“Sweet.” You got to writing. Venom had calmed down after you took a bathroom break to buy some chocolate from a vending machine, but occasionally he would pop out from behind your neck to sniff Peter. You just hoped Peter didn’t think of you as some weirdo pervert who was trying to smell him. 

The scribbles on the report were hardly legible since you just wanted to get out of there. Finishing off with signing your name, you turned the packet in to the front of the desk where Mrs. Nicholson had instructed you to before she had left. 

“Alright, thank you.” You told the boy who was staring at you intently. You hadn’t noticed it before but he was acting differently after you came back from your ‘bathroom break’. 

“Yeah no problem, need help cleaning up?” Regardless of your response, he was already emptying the flask and tubes that you had used, 

“I mean you’re already helping me.” Chuckling in a friendly manner you grabbed some paper towels and disinfectant, spraying it on the table and wiping it away. 

The two of you worked in awkward silence to clean up the lab, going as far as to clean up the messes that the other lab students forgot about. When you were done you took off your goggles and coat, hanging it back on the rack. Peter soon followed behind  you, his footsteps and yours the only sound in the room. 

“Alright well- bye, thank you again.” You rushed out of there, your backpack charms clinking as your legs moved down the hall. 

“YAY! FREEDOM!” Venom roared, his head poking out of your stomach, You didn’t shove him back this time, mainly because no one else was around to witness the monster you called your friend. 

A smile played on your face, “Fuck yeah! And we don’t ever have to stay after school anymore!” 

“WAIT THAT WAS THE LAST ONE?” Venom questioned, eager to hear the response. 

“Mhm!” You celebrated, still running out of the school. “Now we can do some more bad guy hunting!” Saying Venom was the only one who enjoyed the vigilante work would be a lie. After getting accustomed to the fear and relishing in the rush- you too had been looking forward to beating up the scum of the earth. Plus, a part of you secretly hoped to be tied up again by Spiderman. Though you hated him for leaving you with a hungry Venom, you had a thing for guys in masks. 

Venom took over your legs, the black-purple sludge covering your jeans as he sped up the pace. “DO WE GET TO EAT NOW?” 

“Maybe- I don’t know. It's still bright out.” The sun still hadn’t set. Checking your watch it read 5:30. 

“I’ll buy you some fries.” 

“YAY!” 

The two of you were at (favorite burger place), munching on some much needed food when it happened. A gross oversized bug flew at the restaurant's window, its guts splatter all over the place. 

“What the hell?” A few people got up to look at the commotion which only progressed as the sound of a crash and then car alarms went off. 

“What the fuck is that?” You commented to Venom as you finished your food, gathering up the trash to throw. 

“I DON’T KNOW, LET’S FIND OUT.”  His feet dragged you towards the exit, quickly you grabbed your backpack, swinging it on you as the Alien took control of your steps. His feet looked like some horror movie inspired shoes. 

He didn’t bother saying excuse me, his attention focused on the action outside. You murmured some apologies to the people who he bumped into. Eventually the two of you were far enough for him to take over your body, your (s/c) skin overrun with his dark goop. When you made it out of the alleyway people were quick to shriek at you. This was the first time in a while that Venom was fully out in broad daylight. 

“AHHHHHHHHH! Oh my god what is that?” A lady yelled. 

“Is that spiderman?!” Some guy yelled causing a cacophony of people accusing you of being spiderman. 

“IDIOTS!” Venom didn’t like that. 

As if on cue the actual spiderman came swinging in, stepping on your head to boost himself up. 

“Hey it's you!” His annoying voice called out a greeting, lifting himself up with a web. 

Venom growled at this, not appreciating the fact he was used as a step stool. “ GET BACK HERE YOU ASSHOLE!”

“Hey! Stop that! He’s already dealing with someone. Let’s take advantage of this while he’s distracted.” Trying to convince Venom to change his mind was a hard task, especially when he was throwing a temper tantrum. The two of you fought for autonomy over your body, venom winning since his hunger fueled him. 

“I thought you were all for saving the bees!” Spiderman’s voice echoed through the air as he threw some webs towards Swarm, the nuisance in question. 

Angered, theVillain shot some bees his way, “DIE SPIDERMAN!” 

Quickly the man in the red suit dodged the swarm of bees coming his way, using his webs as some sort of butterfly net as he caught some.  Infuriated by his quick thinking, the swarm makes the bees cut through the net, sending another mass of them at the spider. 

“Gross I don’t want to get stung.” You pulled away before Venom got too close, landing on a roof nearby. It was close enough to see the whole ordeal yet not get hurt. 

“(Y/N) COME ON! HE’S RIGHT THERE! IF WE GET RID OF HIM WE CAN HAVE ALL THE BRAINS IN THE WORLD!” The alien shouted though no amount of pleading would convince you to kill Spider man. 

‘’Yes, but if we kill him, who's gonna deal with these wackos?” 

“WE WILL DUH! STOP BEING SUCH A PUS-” A web came shooting at you heavy enough to drop you to the floor. 

“What the hell? Already?!“WE WEREN’T EVEN DOING ANYTHING!” 

“I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD’VE STRUCK!” He scolded you. 

“Sorry buddy, I’m gonna have to take a raincheck on you! Kinda busy at the moment, you can try me again on Tuesday.”  Spiderman walked onto the roof where you lay, shooting out a few more webs onto you. He finished his snarky little sentence just as he went to attack Swarm again. 

Letting out an animalistic growl, Venom burst through the webs- this time he was actually angry, and you tended to not have the best control over him when in a state like this. His claws gripped onto the buildings as he climbed upwards, making his way to the spider and Swarm. The villain looked horrified as he saw the two of you approaching him. Swarm let out a yell as Venom brought him to the ground, his fist endlessly punching away as the swarm slowly disappeared, the bees scurrying off to recover. 

“Gee thanks for the help buddy!” Spiderman landed behind you, his fists on his slutty little waist. “Glad I can count on ya!” He began to walk away. 

Venom leaped out, grabbing him in his hands. “Hey what the-!” Spiderman struggled as he tried to shimmy his way out of your grasps. 

“FINALLY!” Venom’s voice shook Spiderman’s core. 

“No~ NO! Venom no! I thought I told you that we weren’t going to kill him!” You fought with the symbiote, loosening your grip to allow the hero some room to escape. 

“SHUT UP (Y/N) I GOT THIS!” He spoke as he tightened his grip once again. 

If it weren’t for the mask you would've seen the confused expression on Peter’s face when he heard this giant monster thing say your name. Could it be? He thought, Could it be the girl from his school? 

“No it can’t be.” Spiderman shook his head. 

Venom lifted him up to his eye level, beginning to pluck off the mask from the hero. “Hey! Stop that! It’s not nice to take someone’s mask off without their permission!” He huffed trying to joke, though you could tell he was scared. A crowd was formed below the buildings, the sound of news helicopters surrounded you and you were sure they were broadcasting this live. 

“Venom- we gotta go.” You told your friend as you frantically moved your head to look at the helicopters that had now grown in number. “Come on let him go- we gotta leave before they start-” 

It was too late. A helicopter filled with what looked to be either a military or swat team had started shooting at you. The bullets hitting your body, cushioned by Venom’s goop before being released to the floor. Peter watched with wide eyes as the bullers fell to the ground, having not affected the beast at all. He however was shitting his pants- if he got shot he was done for. 

Shocked by the sudden fire and scared out of your mind, fear took over, causing your flight to kick in. You’d let go of Peter, and used your legs to leap off the building. Venom didn’t seem to be happy about it, but he also knew that if you got hurt he’d die as well. 

“Why don’t you ever listen to me?!” You shouted, feeling yourself begin to cry. 

“WE COULD’VE HAD  HIM!” Venom shouted, retracting into your body once you were in a safe alley way away from anyone. 

“I could have died!” You shouted.

“NUH UH! I WAS PROTECTING YOU!” He argued. 

“Not really! If you were protecting me we would’ve been out of that situation as soon as they started firing!” You were breathing heavily. You took your flannel off to examine your arms, reaching down to lift your pant legs to check on your leg. 

“THE BULLETS DIDN’T REACH YOU (Y/N), LIKE I SAID I WAS PROTECTING YOU.” He said again. 

It was your first brush with death and you didn’t feel good. 

As you were pacing around trying to get over the hysteria- two red boots plopped onto the floor. You froze, turning around, The figure was leaning over a trash bin, chest heaving notably as he tried to catch his breath. It was spiderman. You wondered if he had noticed you standing at the other end of the alley. Venom was still protruding out of you, his head in full display as the two of you looked at each other and then the hero. 

You raised a finger to your lips, signaling for venom to keep his mouth shut. Waving him into your body, you signaled for him to hide himself. The attempt however failed when a certain masked hero turned your way after a can had fallen from where you stood. Quickly Venom disappeared into you, but the hero had already seen it, leaving the two of you in an intense staring contest. 

“(Y/n)?” The hero asked,  a familiar voice taking the place of the hero’s usual deep voice. 

How did spiderman know your name? WAIT- THE SPIDER MAN KNEW YOUR NAME!

You stayed there frozen, hoping that if you just stayed frozen he’d eventually go away. The puzzle pieces seemed to connect when you noticed a familiar green backpack peeking from the top of the recycling bin. 

It couldn’t be. 

There was just no possible way. 

Out of everyone that could be spiderman it couldn’t be him. 

He was a nerd- a nobody- just some guy from school who happened to be a genius. 

He must’ve noticed his slip up because he quickly shot a web over the backpack, slowly approaching you. 

“NO. FUCKING. WAY.” Came out of your mouth as you stepped back, overwhelmed by the discovery. Venom kept himself in you, salty that you yelled at him, although when he  noticed the spider he began to take over your body, stopping when he felt your hand on his arm. 

“You’re venom?!” He asked, shocked, still in the mask. He had forgotten that spiderman wasn’t supposed to know who you were. Afterall how would a hero recognize some highschool senior? 

“Peter?” You asked, it had to be him, oh my god it had to! It all made sense now. 

He would always slip out of class, but most people including you thought he had some bowel problems. Whenever he would come back he’d be all sweaty and roughed up. He always defended Spiderman whenever Flash would shit talk the hero, and you remembered him lying about knowing him to Mary Jane- although now that you knew it was Peter - he technically wasn't lying. It also explained why he was so good in the gym. 

Your head was spinning with questions. After all, you had just worked with the kid not even two hours ago in the chemistry lab at school!

“N-no.” Came his lame reply. He forced a deep voice, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 

“Venom.” You called out and immediately the alien covered your body. 

Peter suddenly remembered that you wanted to kill him for some reason. He then leapt on his feet, almost getting away. Venom reached out for him, capturing him by the collar of his suit. The alien then brought him close to him and growled, licking the spider’s masked face. 

“EW! NO STOP we are not licking our classmates' faces!” You scolded as your face protruded where Venom’s face once was. 

“What- I.. I am so confused right now.” He said defeated. 

Your arm went to lift his mask, his webs shooting out to stop you, “No- no- you really don’t have to do thaaaaat.” His fake voice nervously protested, but you ended up taking it off anyways. You gasped, both out of excitement and shock since you were right! 

He looked at you with those wide eyes of his. You never knew how pretty they were until now that you were up close and personal with him. He looked scared, almost shocked that you actually went through with it. 

“Peter?! You’re spiderman?” You yelled in surprise, only to get a web to the mouth. 

“Hey look- I don’t know what I did or why you’re trying to kill me but please..” He began and you realized you were still in Venom’s body. 

“Oh- sorry… right.” Venom collapsed back into you, dropping Peter as you shrank back to size. “Sorry!” You called out as you reached to pick him up. 

“(Y/n) what- what is that thing?” He questioned, trying to catch his breath. 

“Oh that-” “WE ARE VENOM.” His voice echoed from inside of you. “Right, we are venom.” That was the only answer you would give him. 

It made sense to him now why you were always causing a scene in class, why you would always be on the phone during school, or why you always had that constipated look in your eyes when your ‘stomach’ would growl during study hall. Now that he was thinking of it, that monster thing must have been what was triggering his spidey senses back at the chem lab. 

He then got back to business, the weight of your knowledge on his shoulders. “(Y/n)..” He held your shoulders, his face close to yours. Something about Peter Parker in a tight suit and messy hair, looking as if he just had a brush with death  seemed to appeal to you. He looked nothing like the dorky science wiz from school, yet he still sort of did and you just weren’t realizing it. 

“You can’t tell anybody about this.” He pleaded, the sincerity in his eyes too much for you. “I- I can’t let anyone find out that I’m spiderman you got that?” 

“Are you going to kill me? Because I’m pretty sure venom won’t..” He stopped you, shaking his head, “No no - I’m not gonna kill you, I don't do that. You just can’t tell anybody please. Please (y/n) I beg you..” His eyes were watery. “I’ll do anything, anything just don’t -” 

“Peter! Calm down.” You placed your own hands on his shoulders, your stomach twisting as you felt how toned he was. “I won’t. I swear. But in return you can’t tell anybody about my secret, ok?’  You looked him in the eyes, the both of you having some sort of relief once he nodded. 

“Yeah - yeah of course.” Peter said, dropping his hands from you much to his dismay. 

“One more question-” Peter began. 

“Yeah?” 

“So like why are you eating people’s brains?”

peter and miles comforting reader who just lost someone in battle? <3

Peter parker and Miles Morales x Reader

Awwwwwwwwww I love this so much, The fluff man the absolute fluff of this idea. Word count:1.1k

"No, No !!!! Dad !!!!, Dad !!!!" You rushed over to him as you lifted the rubble off of him, Taking off your mask slightly so he could see your face. Tears spilling from your eyes.

"Y/n ??" He weakly said as blood emerged from his mouth.

"I'm right here dad, I'm gonna get you help ok ??" You tearfully said.

Your dad was travelling around Hell's Kitchen when Kraven destroyed the surroundings on his latest hunt for lizard. Your dad got caught in the crossfire as rubble crumbled on top of him, You were swinging for lizard when you saw your dad in the blink of an eye.

"It's gonna be ok..." You said as he gently cupped your cheek.

"My baby... I'm so proud of you..." He was growing weaker.

"No... No Dad please stay with me" You took his hand. "Please... don't go"

"I...Love you... with all my heart... and soul..." He smiled weakly before going limp. He was gone...

You let out the most heartbreaking sob in your life, Miles and MJ witnessed it. They were so shocked and sad. Once they found Conner's they told Peter. But with him in the symbiote suit, he brushed it off as if he was a distraction from the mission. Which at first was a twist of the knife in the gut.

You didn't even have time to grieve after that, You had to still deal with Kraven, Then help Peter get the suit off, and then venom and the rise of his parasites.

After that, you were slumped into a depressive episode, You didn't get out of bed. You didn't eat anything. The only times you ever got out of bed were for the bathroom and water. You were a mess. Peter and Miles continued to call you to check up on you. But to no answer which really worried them both.

So they went to your apartment the next day and knocked on your door.

"y/n ??" Peter called out for you.

"You in there??" Miles called out as well.

But the same as the phone calls, no answer. this really worried them.

"What do we do, I lost the spare key to their apartment" Peter sighed and rubbed his face.

"Hang on man, I got an idea" Miles then pulled out a spider bot from his pocket and then set it up "Help our friend little guy"

The spider bot then entered under the door, before webbing the lock and pulling it to unlock the door for the two. They entered inside to see the place wasn't really as it was, The curtains were closed. The trash can wasn't emptied and the fruit on the bench was now rotten.

They tidied up the place slightly and then saw your closed door, Gently going over to it and opening it. Seeing you lying in bed... watching a video on your phone, of you and your dad.

"Y/n..." Miles was saddened when he saw you in this state. He gently walked over to you and kneeled down to the side of your bed. Gently taking your hand.

"I miss him..." You said so quietly, It was barely a whisper.

"I know man... I know" He gently wiped your tears.

"We're here for you, ok ??" Peter reassured you as he gently massaged your scalp, laying next to you.

Fresh tears began to fall, Peter wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close, gently rubbing your back. "It's ok... Let it out" Miles joined in, gently taking your hand and rubbing your knuckles with his thumb.

You continued to cry until you couldn't, gently passing out from exhaustion. You missed your dad deeply. The memory pierced into your mind, He was taken away from you.

You gently woke up, still in Peter's arms. You gently rolled over to face him, He felt sad seeing you lie this. The bags, how red and puffy your eyes were. You were exhausted, Not to mention the symbiote stung you badly.

"Hey... You know that wasn't me when I said that. I wasn't myself, and... I feel bad for what it said to you." Peter felt so guilty.

You didn't say anything to him, But you snuggled up to him closer. You just wanted to be with his company again, feeling his warmth. He wrapped his arms around tighter, pressing a gentle kiss on your head. "You're my best friend you know that ??"

You nodded gently, hiding your face in his chest, sighing gently as he massaged your scalp again.

Miles then came back a bit later as he sat down on the bed, gently rubbing your arm. "Hey, man... I ordered us some pizza... Your favourite." You nodded again.

"Come on... Let's get you to a shower" Peter helped you up as miles then found some clean clothes and a towel, handing it to you.

"Do you need help or will you be ok ??" Peter asked you.

"I'll... I'll be ok..." You then entered the shower, sighing as the warm water rushed through your skin. More tears spilled as you quietly cried to yourself. Soon after, you hopped out of the shower and went back out in your fresh clothes.

"There you are" Peter softly smiled at you and wrapped his arms around you. "You look like someone who needs a hug, but not just any hug. A Peter hug" He chuckled

Your lips twitched into a small smile.

"Is that a smile I see ??" He gently pinched your cheek.

"buzz off" You playfully said to him softly, before gently leaning your head against his shoulder.

"I love you guys..." You said as he patted your back. "We love you too y/n, so very much."

Miles then brought inside the pizza and the aromas hit your senses, causing your stomach to rumble loudly, they could both hear it. "Come on then" Miles smiled as he opened the lid, Gently taking a slice and offering it to you. gently taking it and biting into it, You sighed with content as you then ate your slice.

The two continued to help cheer you up and get you back on your feet, But there was one thing that hadn't been done yet, and the thought of it got you slightly overwhelmed. Visiting his grave...

You were walking alongside the two when you saw his tombstone... A wave of emotions set in you as you saw his name... Miles and Peter gently squeeze your shoulder. You laid your flowers down and gently touched the tombstone.

"Goodbye, dad... I love you so much" You said as tears spilled again.

You missed your dad deeply and every single day. But Peter and Miles were here with you for every step of the way. they know what it's like to lose loved ones. They would help pick you up and dust you off. They would help you get through this.

A/N: I got teary eyed writing this.

care to elaborate on the miles venom arc?

YES okay so. the thing abt the symbiote is that (like any good corruption arc) it feeds on and amplifies the worst traits of a character, which is pretty straightforward in peters case - his biggest issue is his anger, usually manifesting via retribution (eg. "i missed the part where thats my problem", hunting down uncle bens killer), so his origin story is always the great power/great responsibility thing so he learns to temper that rage. what the symbiote does, practically, is force him to unlearn that foundational character arc and regress to his worst self

since the symbiote really really loves aggression peter parker is literally its dream guy but miles is a little more complex. hes definitely susceptible to that same anger (eg. wanting to "make kingpin pay", the entire sm2 martin li arc) but not as often and nowhere near as hardcore, so the peter playbook wont work as well for him (and also it would be fucking boring. weve seen that shit like 8 times already (not saying symbiote peter is boring i just think modern iterations need to explore new aspects to avoid treading the same ground constantly (sm2 does this very fucking well (also yuri lowenthal is a great va for peter like right up there with josh keaton (i think this many parentheses means im off topic (the adhd demon got me))))))

SO. whats miles' major issue he needs to overcome in his origin story? full disclosure i have not read the comics (but i heard they had some issues with his initial characterization anyway? which is fair enough tbh writing the successor to such an iconic guy is Fucking Hard) so TO ME PERSONALLY!! spider-verse miles is the definitive iteration of the guy and like. we all remember the whats up danger scene, his origin arc is overcoming self-doubt and learning to believe in himself ("its a leap of faith", "youre on your way, just keep going") which, alongside social anxiety (eg. the itsv "everyone knows" scene, sm2 "are you mad at me? it sounds like youre mad at me" dialog), seems to be part of some general anxiety issues. this is pretty well supported by the recent "the spider within" short film (which funnily enough is very fucking reminiscent of some sequences in kravens last hunt, not relevant but kinda cool) which also shows how miles responds by self-isolating, similarly to ps5 miles when peter ignores him

the symbiote can exploit his self-doubt pretty easily, the inherent power boost will do most of the heavy lifting to make him feel like hes not good enough without it - what if he runs out of web at the worst moment? what if hes not strong or fast enough to save someone? what if hes caught mid-costume change because hes so used to the suit changing itself? the more valid the (inital) concerns the better imo

the social anxiety is a tricky one but i think if miles traps himself in a doom loop of self-isolation he might spiral into genuine paranoia, which combined w/ the patented symbiote rage could lead him to lash out at people around him. "everyone secretly hates me so im gonna avoid being around people" -> "i feel alienated from everyone i know so im gonna avoid them even harder" -> "am i 'okay'? why would you care? what are you playing at? fuck off and leave me alone" -> "nobody wants to interact w/ me so everyone who does must have ulterior motives and is therefore a threat to me/my family/my city" -> "im completely isolated but bad things are still happening so people must be conspiring against me w/o my knowledge" -> "literally everyone on earth is out to get me and i need to fight them about it"

from there i think the ideal conclusion is pretty self-evident - miles takes a metaphorical leap of faith (calling back to the lesson learned in his origin arc) by actively choosing to trust someone, reach out and ask for help w/ removing the symbiote and dealing with the contemporary big bad (potentially his local peter variant bc hes got experience w/ symbiote removal and it would tie into the "leap of faith" motif but idk)

so tldr: a miles symbiote arc would be different to peters arcs in some (very interesting) key ways - rather than unbridled aggression he could be characterized by intense anxiety, manifesting as paranoid self-isolation and a sense of dependence on the symbiote suit, and would end the arc by reaching out for help in a symbolic leap of faith

Hi Kita! 💗

It's been a hot minute, but if you need an excuse to ramble about fics then I would love to hear about Dust to Dust! Which characters were most fun to write, are there any particular scenes that you look forward to writing, what are your plans for the boys?

Also, what would you most like to see fanart of for DtD or other symbiote stuff?

Have a lovely day!

Hi friend! I'm still thinking about that wonderful symbiot3 piece you drew for me that I look at a normal amount (every week at least). And I definitely relish the opportunity to talk about DTD... which let's see if I can push out another chapter before I hit a full 12 months since the last update, lol.

Honestly my favorite characters to write have been Dr. Steven and of course Andi Benton. Andi is a given, but Dr. Steven was my favourite person to come out of the Costa run. He's just so wonderful. I love his unashamed earnestness, while still being very pragmatic in many ways. I really love him, and I love any excuse to write him into a scene. I'm excited to write him checking in with Flash, Eddie, and the Symbiote intermittently throughout the rest of the story.

Aside from the obvious things that I've set in motion as of last May's update, I have a bunch of little like... B and C plots I want to try and string together. There's a bunch of supporting cast characters from both Venom and Spider-Man comics that I'm excited to bring on board, and a couple that have cameoed in early chapters that I'll bring back. Obviously the last chapter introduced Harry Osborn Lyman to the cast again, which is mostly self-indulgent, but I also want to weave (get it? weave..? i'll stop) Peter into the story a little more as well. Like it or not he IS a huge part of Venom's story - every Venom - and in particular I want to develop how he will have to... hmm... shall we say... come to terms with Flash and Eddie.... you know...... ;)

Like. He will figure it out. Perhaps unfortunately, for Mr. Peter "I am upset when we are not about me" Parker. But he'll also get over it, because the alternative is losing Flash forever.

As far as fanart? HMMMM I mean I guess really any scene where Eddie and Flash kind of get up in each others' faces, it's a very funny mental image for me. Couple of tough guys. It's about the homoeroticism. Or actually just anything with Andi. No more Eddie/Flash this story is now all about Miss Andrea Benton. They don't matter it's all about Mania babyyyyyyy!!!!

Okay it is very late so I will call this good but thank you!!!!!! for indulging me and letting me go off about all this. My readers are the best~ <3 <3 <3 <3

¿What if the Symbiote Saga happened in the Webbverse?

 To: Marc Webb and Marvel Entertainment                        Intro                                                                                                                                                                ¿What if events went differently in the Webbverse? ¿What if the Symbiote Saga happened in the Amazing Spider-Man duology? In today’s fan fiction we’re going to be exploring what would have happened if Venom had appeared in the Webbverse and corrupted Peter-Three. ¿How can this affect his appearance in No Way Home going forward? This is an original what if created by me taking inspiration from the 1994 Spider-Man the Animated Series Symbiote Saga story arc while following the mythology of Spider-Man and Venom and the timeline of the Webbverse. Without wasting anymore time sit back and relax and enjoy this 2 part fan fiction.

                                                           Part 1                                                       The events of TASM were playing out the same as in your universe. Peter Parker knew that he should have felt guilt for letting the criminal go away but all he felt was rage as he had stormed out of the house after a heated argument with Uncle Ben and he did not have time to be anyone's hero. “I say that he didn't think it was his responsibility that would be you and tell me this himself. Oh come on I'm not scarier out there”. He knew Uncle Ben did not know that he had powers now. “I would humble any other human”. Peter had gotten bit by a spider at the Oscorp facility and the bite gave him spider-like abilities. He could stick to walls with yet immense strength reflexes and a unique sixth sense he liked to call his Spider-Sense. Peter Parker blamed the disrespect that Uncle Ben showed him on his ignorance but if Uncle Ben knew what he was capable of then maybe he would bow down to him as Peter pondered on revealing his powers to Ben and May. Maybe then he will get the respect he thought that he deserved as Peter quickly decided against this but he knew how much he meant to Uncle Ben and Aunt May. He knew that they loved him but sometimes the way they displayed their love was enraging to him as despite all of his rage and anger Peter decided to apologize to Uncle Ben in this universe for his behavior. He loved them too but the recent events of the spider bite had him lost as he had much more power without a purpose and Peter had just concluded on apologizing when an eerie light shines through the window of the store he was in. The sound of a gunshot immediately filled the night too as Peter suddenly ran out to find the source of the gunshot but maybe he had found a purpose for his powers after all he thought and what Peter saw petrified him. Uncle Ben had followed Peter out of the house as he didn't mean to enrage him but Peter's recent behavior was unsettling and surprising to him. Uncle Ben knew something was up but he had to find a way to get Peter to open up to him as Uncle Ben suddenly saw a robber fleeing from a store and his first instinct was to stop him. Like the original universe the robber sensing Uncle Ben's motive quickly pulled out his gun and aimed it at Ben. He pulled the trigger as Ben's life flashed before his eyes and he desperately prayed for a miracle. Suddenly, an eerie bright light shined and blinded the eyes of the robber. This proved to be the miracle that Ben prayed for as the robber lost his aim and the bullet penetrated Uncle Ben's arm instead. The robber still high on adrenaline and unnerved by the eerie light and the image of a bleeding Uncle Ben took to his heels. Uncle Ben was losing a lot of blood but he was glad that he was still alive as Peter suddenly appeared by his side and before he knew it an ambulance had arrived. Ben did notice though that when he was being loaded up by the ambulance Peter was nowhere to be found as Peter had been petrified by the sight that he saw but Uncle Ben spiraled out on the road in a pool of blood and the image broke something in him. The sight filled him with an unthinkable rage so much so that Peter made sure Uncle Ben was in safe hands as he took off in pursuit of the criminal but no normal human being would be able to trap the robber down after the amount of time that had passed and Peter was not a normal human after all. Parker combined all of his powers to hunt the robber down and it paid out. Peter found the robber standing beside a strange rock and he had a strange grin itched on his face. Peter threw caution to the wind amidst the wind signals he was getting from his spidey sense and attacked Peter with a shout of rage. He threw a punch to the robber's face but it was caught by the robber as Peter was surprised and he knew his punches could make huge dents and steal from even break walls but this robber did not flinch not even a bit. Peter attempted to withdraw his hand but the robber had a hug like grip on him as all the rage Parker had was quickly drained out and fear took its place. Peter started pleading with the robber to let him go but the robber remained unfazed and still with the creepy grin on his mouth. Suddenly the grin expanded more than Peter thought was humanly possible and the robber spoke to Peter. “Finally the perfect host” he said and suddenly the black goo started transferring itself from the robber to Peter Parker. That was the last thing Peter Parker saw as all went dark for him but Peter Parker suddenly woke up from his sleep and he was sweating profusely because he had a nightmare about Uncle Ben getting shot and about the creepy dark goo. Parker quickly showered and dressed up for school before going downstairs for breakfast. When Parker went downstairs he discovered that the nightmare he had thought about was a reality as Aunt May sat alone on the breakfast table while she sobbed quietly with the picture of Ben in her palms but shivers ran down Peter's spine and he thought that they had lost Uncle Ben but Aunt May who immediately noticed him in the room killed the thought in him. Uncle Ben was still very much alive at the hospital as Peter quickly went on to find out the details of what had happened to Ben and what had happened most especially to himself. He was surprised by what he had heard as Peter walked through the hallways of the school but he played the conversation he had with Aunt May in his head repeatedly and she claimed that Peter came home but did not quite say anything to her. She stated that he just walked up to his room and she didn’t disturb him as she guessed that he must have been in a pretty bad state after Uncle Ben's shooting. Peter’s problem was that he did not remember walking into the house as the only thing he remembered was trying to punch the robber with the black goo and then darkness. The memory of the dark goo send shivers down Peter's spine but it was quickly pulled out of his thoughts by Flash as Flash wanted to deliberately bump him but because of Peter's Spider Sense it all seemed like slow motion and he had enough time to dodge Flash and escape but a dark voice came into his mind. The voice compelled him to teach Flash a lesson as Parker suddenly felt rage and shoved Flash into a locker with so much force that it left a huge dent and knocked Flash out. The commotion caused a lot of noise that attracted the attention of the crowd and teachers. Peter was immediately called up to the principal's office as Peter made his way to the office but he saw the look of disappointment on the face of Gwen Stacy and Peter was extremely lucky that the principal decided to drop all the charges made against him and free him from any punishments. This action was supported by the fact that Flash refused to confess that Peter was the one who pushed him but instead he stated that he slipped and fell. However, the principal told Peter that his saving grace was because he felt that the narrow escape of death by Uncle Ben had traumatized Peter as the principal also decided not to report the matter to Ben or May as they were in a fragile state but warned Parker not to get into any more violence and Peter was inwardly nonchalant about the whole ordeal. The only thing he was feeling was amazement as he was amazed at how he was able to perform such a feat of strength without applying much power but he decided that he would experiment with his powers when it was nighttime and test how far he could really go. Peter laid in the shadows as he awaited an unlucky prey to fall into his trap but he was hunting for criminals and for a victim. He figured that if he could dispose of them or beat them to the point that they could not get back up then he would rid the world of crime as the image of Uncle Ben's body spiraled on the ground and a pool of blood was still vivid in Peter's mind. Peter had however noticed some amazing things as he started his exploration but he found out that he could walk on walls as opposed to crawling on them before his spidey sense was enhanced while his reflexes and strength had been greatly increased. Peter figured that the upgrade came from the black goo and he started having no problems in accepting it. Peter did not have to wait quite long before he had an opportunity to test out his newly improved powers on an unfortunate person as he spotted a huge man in an alleyway threatening a woman with a pocket knife to empty her purse but Peter was about to leap into action when he discovered that his identity was important to him and he needed to hide his face and he needed to do so fast as the man was almost done robbing the woman. Suddenly, out of instinct Peter looked into a puddle of water next to where he was hiding and discovered that he was covered in a sort of black suit made out of the black goo that entered his body. The suit had a stylized spider sign on his chest just as Peter would have wanted it to be but it was as if the suit could read his mind and Peter suddenly leaped into action and landed between the man and the woman without a second thought. As Peter analyzed the man he concluded that he didn't really need a pocket knife to rob people but the thief stood at 7 ft and the shirt he had on was on the verge of tearing because of his bulging muscles. Peter concluded from the multiple tattoos and scars on the man's face that he was a gangster. The entire analysis took less than a second for Parker and before the huge man could speak Peter had snagged the purse from him and punched him in the abdomen. As Peter returned the purse and its contents to the woman the criminal wanted to jump him from behind but Peter was too fast for him. Parker turned and held the man by his neck in midair. As Peter stared at the man he remembered the image of Uncle Ben's hopelessness and bleeding body and then he lost as uncontrollable rage filled his body. Peter started punching and beating up the criminal to a pulp. The cries and pleads of the rescued woman for Peter to stop fell on deaf ears as he continued unleashing his fury on the criminal. Suddenly, the sounds of police sirens broke Peter from his actions as the car blocked the only entrance of the alleyway and the policemen already had their guns targeted on him. Peter knew they could climb walls but he did not even think he was fast enough as Peter started wishing he had webs like real spiders and maybe that would have helped him get out of the situation. Suddenly, as if as an answer to his request Peter's right arm shot up from the upward wrist and squirted out a wedge. The web had caught a building and propelled Peter out of harm's way. The night was filled with shouts of joy and laughter as Parker swung through the city building to building while looking out for criminals to exact revenge on. Peter was in a good mood today as he still remembered how the news reporters were amazed about how the crime rates had reduced drastically in their own words. They said that Venom was literally beating the criminals down so that they would not get back up and that Venom was a poison. Peter smiled as he remembered how the name Venom came about but he was thinking about calling himself Spider-Man when the word Venom popped into his head and he figured that the word captivated the essence of his character as he was deadly and poisonous to criminals. He just started leaving the criminals as he beat the, to a pulp with the name and the rest became history. In reason Peter was happy today because of Gwen as it had taken him a long time and a lot of pleading and begging but she finally decided to give him a chance. She had also invited Peter to her house for a family dinner as he was practically dancing to her house and hoped that it would be a nice dinner. Meanwhile, Dr.Connors was in a crisis like the original universe as Peter had aided him recently with finding the missing ingredients for his formula and it was ready the source of the crisis. However, he was ordered to test the serum out on humans but it felt that it was not ready yet as his refusal led to him losing his job and he was thrown out by Rafa who was on his way to test the serum on the veteran hospital. An idea then suddenly popped into Dr Connor's mind as he would test it on himself but the plan was crazy by all aspects and it could even lead to the loss of his life. As Dr.Connors deliberated on the idea his gaze fell on his missing arm and that was his motivation. That was all he needed as his interest in the regenerative field was given life by the loss of his arm but no matter how amphibious he would want it to sound he was doing the research and experimentations as much as he was doing it for everyone. Dr.Connors took up the serum and injected it into himself in seconds but nothing happened which made Dr Connor's question whether he was immuneto to the effects of the serum. Then suddenly the intense pain started and it crawled up his back into his spine and Dr.Connors had blacked out. Connors suddenly woke up drenched in sweat as his brain and senses were still trying to figure out what had happened to him when he noticed his arm had regrown. Dr.Connors could not believe it he had done as Curt had made history but Connors quickly moved and he intercepted Rafa who wanted to test the serum on the veteran hospital. As Connors was on his way he started feeling strange but he started feeling changes in his body while scales started sprouting out of Connor's skin and he started developing claws and razor sharp teeth and even his eyes had changed. After a few moments an angry lizard looking like creature started creating havoc and destruction at the Williamsburg’s Bridge. What many did not know however was that the Lizard was actually Dr. Curt Connors while back at the dinner it was full of surprises for both Peter and Gwen as the first surprise was when Peter discovered that Captain Stacy was Gwen's father but Peter had quite a few close calls with the man on his quest to capture the hatred that Captain Stacy felt for Venom and could not be felt around the table. He accused Venom for taking laws into his own hands as much as Captain Stacy felt that he needed to face the law but while the dinner was going on the reports of an angry lizard man came into Captain Stacy and they were immediately confirmed by the news reporters. Stacy immediately took off to combat the crisis as Peter on the other hand felt that he had much more important things to do he had with Gwen after the dinner but Gwen took Peter up to her room and they professed their love to each other. This landed the heart of Peter so much that Peter revealed his secret identity to Gwen as the result was not what he had hoped for but Gwen freaked out completely and sent him out of her house. She claimed that she could not be in love with a man who had no regrets for the lives of the people as this greatly angered Peter and he made sure that all the criminals he caught that night felt his anger. Peter had been through a lot for the past few days but he was on his way to school as he went down memory lane and Peter had been in a financial crisis because of Uncle Ben's hospital bills and the money was getting too much for Aunt May to handle. He had thought of an inconvenient way to make money and he even thought about taking money from criminals until he saw an advertisement that the press were looking for pictures of both Venom and the Lizard and they were willing to pay a handsome fee for it. Luckily, Peter was already Venom but the pictures of only Venom would not be enough to pay the bills as he needed Lizard too and he went in to hunt him down. Peter attracted him to a sewer and the confrontation with the Lizard had been a brief one. Venom tossed him around like a doll and he had beaten the Lizard until he reverted into his human form. This greatly shocked Peter and he displayed his face to Dr.Connors. As a result of this Connor saw a glimpse of Peter's face before he passed out and in the sewers Peter was still taken it back but he left what he thought was Dr Connors’s lifeless body at the sewers. While he took the pictures he took the cameras that he strategically positioned to get the money for Uncle Ben's bills as he was saddened that he had to kill Dr.Connors since he didn't know that he was the lizard but he had to do it so he left him there and Peter had left the sewer. Peter was surprised that the level of lack of empathy that he had for Curt had been noticing faint on how his behaviors and character had been changing so slightly but rapidly. As he wanted to dwell on the thought a picture of UncleBen was brought into his mind again and it quickly killed his revisions about his rapid change. “Dr.Connors was a monster and he deserved to die” the voice told him. Peter didn't know if that was true but he accepted it as Peter had later paid for the bills and Uncle Ben was back home but he was still in a semi-vegetable state. Peter was shocked at how far he had come as he entered the school halls but everything was working in perfect condition for him except the issue of Gwen and he hoped that he could change so that nothing could go wrong today or so he thought. Peter had thought in this universe that every time something happens there's always a shockwave of negativity but although Peter thought everything was going well for him in this universe is where things will take a dark turn since Dr Connors was not dead after all as Peter had thought he was and he was currently in the school sewers. He wanted to exact his revenge on Peter as the Lizard glanced down at the metal glove device created to fit his palms exactly and grinned. He had a plan to take Peter out and if his calculations were right it would hurt a lot. The Lizard immediately bursted out of the sewer system via the school's public toilets and it was time for the plan to be executed. Venom had been winning the fight so far but this was about to change as the Lizard picked himself from the bookshelf that Venom had dumped him off who he grinned and his hands which were fitted with metal plate gloves together. This created a sonic sound wave that blasted Venom as the effect of the blaster drove Venom insane but Dr Connors smiled and he was right. High frequency sonic waves were Venom’s weakness and he had noticed how Venom had looked phased when he banged his head against a metal pipe that generated sonic waves. At their last fight it was time to end this but the lizard decided as he walked towards Peter to kill him when suddenly, Gwen jumped out of nowhere and was stabbed in the back. Gwen was quickly swatted aside by the Lizard’s tail and he quickly followed it up with a claw. Gwen had stayed behind to watch the fight even when the whole school had been deserted by students as she noted in her notepad of the effect that sonic waves had on Venom but when she saw that Lizard was about to make the kill she knew that she had to do something to save Peter and when Dr.Connors turned his attention towards Parker he had escaped. Gwen smiled as her efforts were not in vain and she had been able to save Peter but sadly she was not sure she would be able to save her own life. She shed a tear while darkness slowly crept into her vision even as her life embedded away from her with blood pouring from her gut but Captain Stacy's face was filled with extreme rage and he didn't even think it was possible to get more angry until he saw Peter was Venom. It had been only a few days since the death of Gwen Stacy whom he blamed it on Venom as he saw traces of his webs on the school grounds but Captain Stacy discovered Gwen's note about sonic waves being the weakness of Venom and had gotten himself a sonicwave gun from Oscorp. Currently, Peter laid in pain at his feet as a result of the blast that was released on him but the whole world could see that Peter was now Venom and the news crew covered the event via their helicopter. Captain Stacy still had a vengeful look in his face and as he wanted to fire another sonic blast Peter snagged the gun from him with a web and broke it into 2. Peter then proceeded to dodge all of the bullets fired on him by Stacy and went into car accident in retaliation. When they were recovered Venom was gone as he had gone to seek out the Lizard at the Oscorp Tower but Venom had the Lizard lying at his feet and all the damage Lizard had inflicted on him was already healed by the symbiote. The only problem Venom had was getting rid of Dr Connors and taking revenge for the death of Gwen. Dr.Connors had metal plate gloves and he did that by ripping both of his arms out. Venom was in a very vengeful mood and this was because of the death of Gwen. Venom lifted up Lizard by his neck who leaped and impaled him on one of the pillars of Oscorp’s powers. The Lizard rapidly transformed back to Curt Connors and with a teary eye he beckoned on Peter to come 4th which made Peter withdraw his mask. “Your father was a great man” were his last words as he gave up the ghost but Peter actually shed a tear and his emotions had been coming back to him since the death of Gwen. As he came closer to the body of Dr.Curt Connors a bullet immediately penetrated his chest and it was Captain Stacy who shot him with a sniper because his joy was short-lived but Peter's suit ejected the bullet from his body and healed him. Stacy had only succeeded in making Venom mad but as Venom started approaching him he called for backup and the entire tower was flooded with policemen. Venom only grinned as the scene was a grisly one but the bodies of police officers were littered on the floor of the tower and on the ground below it. As Venom threw a hound full of them to their deaths the only people that were alive on the tower were Venom and Captain Stacy. As Venom reached Stacey he was about to rip his throat out with his newly formed claws but a voice stopped him and he could recognize the voice from a mile away. It was Uncle Ben's voice and currently he was being carried in by a helicopter. Uncle Ben pleaded with Peter and told him a quote he and his father shared. “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”. Uncle Ben said with tears in his eyes as he surveyed the amount of damage Peter had done but Peter's eyes were now opened and he discovered that he had been manipulated the entire time by the black goo. He was trying to do the right thing by stopping Dr.Connors from unleashing his bio weapon on the city but now he even saw himself that he was doing wrong by Venom as Peter stood still and allowed Stacy and other officers to prune him off of the Symbiote with their sonic blasters. As he mourned the deaths of the people he had killed or caused later Peter was then handcuffed by a swarm of police officers into the night.                                              ULTIMATE FINALE                                                       2 years have passed since Peter Parker’s actions with the Lizard and its now 2014. Peter sat on a small prison bed still contemplating all that had happened as he still couldn't believe that his life had come to this but he thought of how his life would have turned out if he hadn't had his powers in the first place and he blamed it on that stupid spider that bit him in the first place. Peter still had his spider powers and he could have used them to break out of jail easily but he had convinced himself that being in prison was what he deserved. Uncle Ben and Aunt May had been coming to visit him regularly so it was no surprise that when a prison warden told him he had a visitor Peter got to the visiting areas and from a distance he could spot Uncle Ben and Aunt May. On getting there he acknowledged the fact that Aunt May had been losing a lot of weight each time she visited as she looked thinner than before and he knew it was probably because she had been thinking about him a lot but however, on seeing their faces today he didn't need his Spider Sense to know that something was definitely wrong. Peter asked Aunt May what was wrong and she told him that today was supposed to be his graduation. It made him even more sad to learn that today was supposed to be his graduation from high school as Peter closed his eyes and tried to picture himself in that graduation dress and how he always planned on teasing Gwen on how silly her graduation would make her look and still grieves Peter when he thought about how it was his fault that Gwen didn’t get a chance to graduate from high school. Peter spent some more time with Uncle Ben and Aunt May and he told them how he had missed them specifically how much prison food sucked. Of course Aunt May also told Peter on how quiet the house was without his presence and how much she missed looking at his adorable face while he ate at the dinner table. As May was talking to Peter Parker he shared a few tears but Aunt May told her something that broke everyone’s heart. “I'm so sorry Aunt May for everything I have put you through. You deserve better”. Uncle Ben got up and hugged him telling him his life was not over and that he still had a lot more good in him to give to the world. Almost immediately after Uncle Ben and Aunt May comforted Peter the police officer walked right towards where they sat and Peter knew why he was coming. The officer noted that it was time for Parker's folks to leave and Peter resigned to his fate. Peter got up and began walking back towards his cell. When he heard Uncle Ben call his name Peter turned back and Uncle Ben now in the embrace of Aunt May said to him. “Don’t let one mistake define who you really are”. Parker took one last look at Aunt May and she was crying as usual. She cried each time she and Uncle Ben came to him. Sometimes Peter wished they stopped coming and caring about him and the thought hurt him badly. The next day Peter jerked up from sleep as his prison uniform and his bed were all soaked up in sweat. The last words his uncle said to him earlier were troubling him and he had been seeing Gwen more frequently in his sleep. He could still see the fear in her eyes as her life flashed before her eyes when the Lizard killed her but Peter wished she had not rushed to interfere at all while Peter lifted his pillow up and he took a blister pack containing the drugs which the prison health care had given him because he was battling with post-traumatic symptom disorder ever since the night of his arrest and Gwen Stacy's death. Deep down Peter knew the drugs were not very efficient but he had chosen them for some unknown reason and that was to keep taking them. Suddenly, Peter was informed that someone had come to see him as Peter was shocked and he wanted to ask the cops who it was but he quickly decided to keep his mouth shut. Peter just stood up and followed the cops while he pondered on who was visiting him ¿who could it be? Peter saw that it was his best friend Harry Osborn and he immediately felt a bit uneasy. Peter knew at this point Harry knew that he was Spider-Venom which made him feel guilty. Peter immediately corrected himself by acknowledging the fact that it was not just Harry but everyone knew who he was and that was the reason that he was always on surveillance. Deep down Peter knew that the security was no match for him if he wanted to escape as he could take out every security officer and run away but his guilt was the only thing keeping him in check. Osborn smiled at Peter and wasted no time in complimenting Peter's uniform by telling him how much he looked good in them. Peter said nothing and kept a straight face. Harry told Peter that he had a disease called the retroviral hyperplasia and that he was dying. Peter was immediately stunned by the news he had just received as he could not lose Harry too but Harry saw the fear in Peter’s eyes and quickly told Peter that there was a formula which his father Norman Osborn was working on before his death. The only thing that kept him from completing the formula was the blood of a person who survived being bitten by one of the radioactive spiders and that was of course Spider-Man. Peter quickly got apprehensive as Harry begged Peter for some of his blood so he could cure his disease to live and in return Harry promised to help Peter break out of jail. Peter asked him how safe it was to make a formula from his own blood but Harry assured him that it was the safest thing he knew right now as Peter out of the care for his best friend could not refuse his friend and he had already lost Gwen after all. Peter accepted the deal and Harry smirked at Parker telling him that he always knew he could count on him. Harry hugged his best friend noting how he owed Peter his life but Harry left Peter who sat down in deep thoughts as he hoped that he was making the right decision and Peter quickly laughed his worries off as he knew Harry like the back of his head and he was not a bad guy. Peter laid down in his cell thinking about Harry's visit earlier when a dark shadowy figure appeared in his cell as Peter could not see his face but he knew his figure was well built and the figure quickly identified himself as one of Harry's business associates. Any other normal human would be very scared if a person had appeared in their cell but Peter was not a normal human being as he was Spider-Man and Peter seemed very relaxed as he prepared for any attacks if the shadowy figure had any ideas. The figure told Peter that he and Harry Osborn had talked about Peter's release and without waiting anytime he asked Peter for the blood. Peter took the knife as the figure pointed towards him and he sliced his finger for enough blood to come out. Peter gave him the blood and laid back down on his bed. The gentleman engaged Peter in a conversation and in this conversation he told Peter his parents truly were one of the best people he ever knew. The statement alerted Peter and it made him quickly sit up and inquired more about his parents. The shadowy figure told Peter how his parents were always ready when called upon as he also told Parker the events of their deaths and how they were killed in this universe by The Red Skull. This made Peter very sad and angry. The shadowy figure then told Peter that he had a job for him but this job required him to join a team and in return he could have his symbiote partner back. Peter bluntly refused stating the fact that his powers were more of a curse than a blessing as Peter stated that he was just planning on living a normal life if he could once he got out stating that he was no hero and the world would be better off without him. The shadowy figure tried to convince Peter that this was a perfect way of redeeming himself for all the mistakes he had made before as he told Peter that Gwen's death would be a waste if he couldn't help save the world but he spent a few more minutes trying all he could to convince Peter telling him how a new villain called Electro was going to take down the city and Peter was the only person who could possibly stop him. Of course Peter was surprised that there was a new villain in town  asking how much did he miss while he was in prison but anyways prison internet sucked as well so Peter thought to himself that if Electro was going to destroy the city then he would probably try to stop him. “No one who wasn't strong enough could go against Electro” Peter accepted the deal but promised himself that this time he was going to make sure he handled his powers responsibly although Peter was not sure how he was going to do it as he decided that he would try and the words of Uncle Ben came back to him and this time much stronger. Peter was not going to let the past determine who he was as he was going to save the world and change the perception of him. Max Dillon as Electro sat on top of a skyscraper which was the only thing that caught his attention despite the fact that it was not the brightest and biggest building as that was the Oscorp facilities. Max Dillon was once an electrician at Oscorp but one night the head of the company had asked him to stay back and work later so he could fix up a broken cable at one of the labs then but his story changed forever. Max had accidentally slipped on one of the ladders when fixing the broken cable and he fell into a pool of genetically modified eels. When Max Dillon was found he was kept at Oscorp to continue testing the effect of the eels on his body in an attempt to see if they could drain the electricity from his body and perform a procedure they knew could be fatal to Max's life killing him in the process. Oscorp had quickly covered it up and reported his case to the police as a worker-related accident. The police had closed his case and he was sent to be buried. The eels had made Max an energy magnet and any electricity that came close to him would revive him. Max's body had sucked in electricity while it was being driven to the cemetery and it revived him. Dillon had sworn to himself that he would exact his revenge on Oscorp as Harry Osborn wasvery good at science but some could say he was almost as smart as his father and it had always annoyed him as he wanted to be better than him. Harry had tried using Spider-Man's blood to make a formula for himself but he followed the best procedures as he should and Harry injected himself with the formula in the hopes to see changes in his health but even after using the formula multiple times rather than being cured his conditions seemed to get worse. Harry Osborn at this point knew that there was nothing more he could do to save himself and just like his father he was going to die. The thought of dying really got to Harry as he felt it was unfair to die but there was nothing more he could do to save himself and Harry headed home disappointed and angry. Dying was not part of his plan at the moment but he soon embraced alcohol as he drank while he was watching his multiple TV shows at his house but TV shows did not seem appealing to him at the moment and Harry then decided to retire for the night. While Harry was going to his room his gaze got fixed on the door to his father’s room as he felt a little bit sad that he had not spent enough time with his father while he was alive but suddenly, he urge to go inside and that room was so strong. It felt like someone was whispering in his ears telling him to go inside but Harry obeyed the voice and opened the door as the stench of abandonment hid him. As Harry scanned through his father’s room he noticed a small amount of lights coming out of his father’s closet but he quickly went ahead to see the source of the light and he was quite surprised by what he found behind his father’s closet. There was a little door and the light was coming from the door. Harry had not seen the door before and he was so apprehensive about opening it but he did it anyways. Harry tried to handle the door but the door did not open so he grabbed a hammer from the toolbox and tried smashing the door open. When the dust and debris cleared what Harry discovered left him shocked. Harry stared at the images of Peter pinned on a board with pictures taken from when Peter was about three years old but he picked up some of the books on the small table beside him on the board and he discovered that his father was monitoring Parker. After going through a few books Harry discovered that Peter was quite special and that was probably why he survived the spider's bite. Jealousy immediately filled Harry's heart that his own father had neglected all because of his best friend Peter Parker as Harry also discovered the Venom formula which his father had made from the radioactive spiders and unfortunately Norman never got to use the formula while Harry knew that the goblin formula was dangerous but he felt betrayed by life because of his illness. There was nothing to lose and Harry decided he was going to take the formula as it could cure him of his illness but Harry smiled mischievously while he injected the Venom formula into his system. Almost immediately the formula started to take effect on his body and it was a very painful process for Harry Osborn. Harry could feel his life slipping away as the Venom spread through his own body but Harry then remembered an emergency health suit and a prototype he had brought home to figure out its workings and possibly upgrade it and he started to crawl towards it. By the time Harry reached the suit and dawned it on the Venom had already done irreparable damage to his brain and he was no longer human. Harry was now the Green Goblin as Harry jumped on his glider and he took off with a cackle to wreak havoc within the city. Peter on the other hand had already broken out of jail and he was sitting on top of a building as he knew that the cops would be looking for him everywhere but observing the city from the building tops he quickly admitted to himself that he missed doing this. He quickly noted a few changes around his favorite part of the city as Peter had thought about going to get some food at a nearby drive-by restaurant but he didn’t want to be recognized by people so he decided to stay up on the building till the city was asleep before he left and besides he was still expecting his new friend. Moments later the dark figure appeared behind Peter as Peter knew that he would have been startled by the way the figure appeared but Peter's Spider Sense or sixth sense had always called it while it had already kicked in and Peter knew he was coming. The dark figure walked towards Peter and he let him know it was time to get the symbiote back. He places his hands on Peter's shoulder and the black goo that Peter quickly recognized came out of the shadows and hovered over Peter. Peter felt his stomach rumble but he couldn’t deny the fact that he was afraid as the Symbiote entered Peter’s body and Peter closed his eyes and just like that he was in a trance. Peter began to see the things that had happened the last time he had the symbiote as by the time he opened his eyes the dark figure had already left but Harry Osborn who at this point had become the Green Goblin was already starting to cause chaos in the city by using his pumpkin bombs to blow up buildings and Captain Stacy had been receiving distress calls all evening which were all related to the Green Goblin. Captain Stacy knowing he had no chance to fight the goblin had contacted Electro and told him about the goblin. Electro swiftly accepted to go after the Green Goblin as he wanted to get in the good books for the cops but Electro immediately went after Green Goblin and caught up with them. Electro wasted no time and attacked him striking him with electricity. The strike did not seem to have much effect on the Green Goblin other than faze him as Electro and the Goblin had a fierce battle but it seemed like a lecture had the upper hand. However, Peter Parker was observing the battle between Electro and Green Goblin. He had arrived earlier to witness it as Peter had noticed that Green Goblin was in fact his best friend Harry Osborn but Peter’s first instinct was to fight against Electro and by this time the battle was becoming fierce between the Goblin and Electro. Peter Parker came from nowhere and fought alongside his best friend Harry. Peter was consumed by the symbiote but Electro used his powers to defeat him because electricity seemed to be one of Venom's weaknesses as Goblin suddenly capitalized on Electro’s  absolute focus on Venom and incapacitated him. Together Harry and the re-energized Venom beat up Electro. Meanwhile, Captain Stacy who had received the news of Peter's escape and saw that he was now Venom again had gone to Uncle Ben. He knew only his uncle could make Peter see the truth that the goblin was the enemy not Electro but after Peter and Harry had subdued Electro Peter was trying to talk to Harry about what had happened and what he had done to himself. Harry immediately got angry at Peter blaming him for his condition and everything that had happened to him. While Peter was trying to calm the goblin down he shot a missile at Electro at the exact moment Uncle Ben had arrived at the scene of the fight  as seeing Peter he ran to try and stop the fight but he entered directly in the path of the missile and he could not escape the impact of the missile. Peter suddenly rushed to Uncle Ben who was lying helpless on the ground as Peter held his uncle in his arms and he stared at his lifeless body. Peter was in raw pain and he suddenly became overwhelmed by the Venom symbiote and became angry. The Venom symbiote showed him the absolute power that they could become the one true symbiote host as Venom took the opportunity to persuade Peter into becoming more but the symbiote showed Peter everything like the past, present and possibly the future. Peter attacked the Goblin and beat him relentlessly. Peter gave the goblin no space to catch his breath as he pounded him rapidly with so much rage in Peter's heart but he actually forgot that Harry was his best friend and Peter took the Goblin's glider using it as a weapon. He punched it through the Goblin's heart murdering him in front of Captain Stacy as Peter rushed back to where Uncle Ben was lying but he transferred the Symbiote from himself to Uncle Ben and the Symbiote began to heal Uncle Ben's injuries. After a few seconds Uncle Ben woke up and Peter took the Symbiote back and hugged his uncle. Peter whispered to his uncle never to scare him like that ever again and he couldn't believe the powers of the Symbiote as it had almost taken him over again but he couldn't believe that he remembered that he could use the Symbiote to heal people. Uncle Ben smiled and hugged his nephew. By this time Electro had gotten the strength back and other SWAT officers who had arrived at the scene turned their attention to Peter. They all turned their air strikes and snipers on Peter while calling out for him to surrender Peter looked around and saw all the damage that had been done. Peter slowly dropped to his knees in front of Captain Stacy and Electro. He stretched out both of his hands ready to be cuffed by the police as the SWAT team cuffs and puts Peter into a police car. Peter looks out the window and sees Uncle Ben, Captain Stacy and Electro all staring as the car drove past them. When Peter opened his eyes he noticed that he was in Gwen's living room and just as he looked towards the dining room he saw Gwen holding a bottle of water. She walked towards where Peter had been sitting and handed him the water. She then told Peter to leave the past behind as Peter told her that it was his fault that she was dead and he had also killed his best friend. Gwen let Peter know that he had no choice when it came to Harry because he chose his own part. He killed someone and the pain would ever go away but he had to heal nevertheless. She then told Peter that she was not mad at him at all because in the end he did the right thing as they shared a hug and suddenly Peter Parker passed out a few minutes later. Peter opened his eyes again and found himself lying on a small bed. He quickly got up and looked around for Gwen. He then realized that he had been dreaming but however, he was sure that he had made peace with Gwen and himself. Peter fell back on his bed like a bag of potatoes as the only words leaving his mouth were apologies for his late best friend but while Peter was still lying on his bed he heard his cell door open and two huge men who wore black suits and also accompanied with black sunglasses stood by the door. They asked Peter to come with them which he did without hesitation as Peter was escorted into an office where he saw Captain Stacy sitting in front of the computer but CaptainStacy pointed to a chair and asked Peter to take a seat. Peter sat on the chair directly facing Captain Stacy and after a few seconds Captain Stacy shoved the computer aside. He then asked Peter how he was feeling as Peter told him that he was doing okay and Captain Stacy stood up as he chained Peter to a couch on the other side of the room. As Peter and Captain Stacy sat on the couch Stacy asked Peter if he needed anything and Peter respectfully declined. Captain Stacy then told Peter that he was being released from jail and Peter sounding surprise asked why they were going to let him go as dangerous as he was Captain Stacy told Peter that he was not a bad person. After all he had saved the city from the goblin as he also saved Uncle Ben despite how risky it was but however, the captain told Peter that just because the D.A considered him worthy of release because he saved the city didn't mean he had his eyes off of him since Peter had killed his best friend and that meant he still had evil somewhere inside of him. Captain Stacy promised to have his eyes on Peter and if Peter made one more wrong move Stacey would come for him. Things had gone back to almost being normal for Peter as the only thing he wasn't used to was Spider-Man but Peter thought that he would become Spider-Man and Venom once again. Peter visited Gwen and Harry's graves with flowers. He felt sad that his two best friends were no more as he had now learned that “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility” but he learned it the hard way and one night as he tried to sleep peacefully he felt something like a sudden jolt from his bed. He stood up to his shock as he saw the dark figure from prison but the figure smiled and informed him that he had another mission for Peter. Then Peter knew something was definitely strange about this man but before he could speak he encountered a bright light and when he opened his eyes he was standing in front of Spider-Man but this time a young boy of nothing more than 22. Peter looked at himself and realized he was in his suit. Looking at the boy Peter knew immediately that this was another universe as he had learned a lot about that while in prison but the boy quickly took off his mask in shock. “¿Did Mr.Stark send you?” The boy asked...                                                           To be concluded in the MCU Symbiote Saga                                                   And that is going to be ¿What if the Symbiote Saga happened in the Webbverse?  As you saw everything we seen with both Tobey and Andrew ends with Tom Holland on Earth-616 coming to tumblr very soon so be on the lookout for that and more what ifs coming soon. Anyways as always guys thx so much for reading this and as always have a fantastic day. Peace out!

Giraffe's Eye View | Princess Mononoke (1997) REVIEW

Wondering why the sudden case of Deja Vu? It's because this was posted as one long review called 'BINGE WEEK', but I've decided to shorten it for the sake of your sanity and mine. If you're interested in my previous review, click here for my thoughts on Rankin and Bass's take on The Hobbit! For now though, onwards to a grand adventure!

Let it be known throughout the land that I am not a weeb. Yes folks, surprisingly there are people out there who's lives don't revolve around anime. Nothing against the artform as a whole, it's just never been my cup of jade tea. You'd think me being born in the 90s would mean I'm totally obsessed with the medium, considering all the shows that mate it Stateside. You'd also think Pokémon would've been taken off the air by now, yet here we are. That show never kept my interest despite Nintendo's marketing making it appear everywhere, DragonBall seemed far too gratuitous both in terms of its action and sex appeal, and Sailor Moon came out at a time when the difference between boys and girls were distinguished by toy commercials. Ninja Turtles and Spider-Man were for dudes, Barbie and Sailor Moon were for not. Obviously now I know that's a load of bull, especially given my love of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but little Clark was a lot dumber back then. Still, even now I'm reluctant to try out any new animes, not that this stops my pals from trying. The recommendations they gave me were a mixed bag to say the least. Tokyo Godfathers was as beautiful as it was bittersweet, One Punch Man that used the tropes of three separate generes to its advantage, and Nagatoro was cute despite how awful its titular character could be at times. On the other hand the finale to Cowboy Bebop pissed me of and my first exposure to Cardcaptor Sakura was during the middle of its second season, my anger rising due to how confused I was. With all that said, my taste in anime outside of Avatar or RWBY has expanded, now including films produced by Studio Ghibli. Last year I watched Kiki's Delivery Service for the first time and thought it was pretty decent, so what did I end up thinking of Princess Mononoke (1977)?

For starters, I was wondering why it's called that when she's not actually the protagonist. Not to say she isn't a pivotable part of the plot, but most of our time is spent on Prince Ashitaka, voiced here by Billy Crudup. For anybody about to complain how I'm a filthy dub-lover, two things: 1) I am just learning how to speak Japanese and I am a painfully slow learner. 2) This is an animated movie, not a manga. If I wanted to read, I'll bust out one of the Komi books lining up my shelves. All I wanna do is watch the movie without having to pay attention to whatever it says on the bottom. Nothing against anybody who prefers the dub, this is just my preference. Besides, the American cast for most Ghibli films are incredible, this picture being no exception. We have Billy Bob Thorton from Bad Santa, John DiMaggio taking a break from trying to defeat Kim Possible, and Minnie freak'n Driver as Iron Town's leading lady Lady Eboshi. As someone who thinks Tarzan is one of Disney's best movies, it was a pleasure hearing Jane in this movie.

Wait, wasn't I talking about the plot? Like I was saying, Ashitaka is cursed by a demonic boar, said curse being a demonic manifestation of vengeance and hatred. Think if all the nastiness of Twitter became a collective of demon worms that oddly resembled Venom. It's a pretty fitting description too, considering the symbiote's whole ordeal is enhancing the darker side of ourselves. It's why I still like Spider-Man 3, the symbiote in that movie bringing out the worst of Peter Parker just as much as this demonic curse brings the worst out in everybody. Aunt May was right when she said revenge is like a poison, no better example of this being this picture.

The curse is slowly killing Ashitaka as he comes across two factions also consumed by these darker emotions. On one side is the aforementioned Iron Town, a civilization made of metal that sits on some of the remains of the forest. While the populous seems pleasant enough, Lady Eboshi is obsessed with expansion, making the very sound point that cities have to grow or folks will die. On the other hand we have those living in the forest, such as the apes, boars, wolves, and the titular princess San (Claire Danes), all of whom hate the humans for destroying their home. Basically this movie is the anime answer to The Lorax, a story I have always loved. Much like Dr. Seuss's tale of Truffula Trees, progress and environmentalism are never depicted as purely right or wrong. Both bring up good points while also showing the flaw of each position. Any story that depicts one side as purely in the right or wrong is pure garbage!

ESPECIALLY THAT ONE!

Unlike Illumination's idiotic butchering of a beloved classic, I always respect pro-nature stories that find this balance. After all, people gotta live somewhere and so do animals, right?

If the brilliant writing wasn't already a win, the movie has amazing animation, though really that's to be expecting from Studio Ghibli. Granted, they achieve this level of perfection from the director working his animators like dogs, but let's not open up that can of demonic worms. Regardless of how the sausage was made, it's so spam good sausage. Heck, this movie marked the first example of CGI being implemented into anime and you can hardly tell! If I had any complaints about this movie, it'd be the surprising amount of gore in this movie. Granted it never gets to RoboCop or Predator levels of exteme, but boy did I begin to question this film's PG-13 rating when Ashitaka managed to decapitate a person with an arrow! Green Arrow wishes he could be that lethal! Also, the fact that our two protagonists don't end up as a couple as the end was kinduv' a bummer to a hopeless romantic like that, but really that's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. When all's said and done, one can easily see why this is considered one of Ghibli's finest features. Do yourself a favor and check this out if you haven't already, preferably before you're cursed by demons.

Then again, maybe what they needed was a goddess to banish all the demons. Oh! I can think of one...

the hug ))):

WAIT SO IS PETER TAKING A STEP BACK FROM SPIDER-MAN THEN ???? LIKE IS HE FULLY RETIRING OR JJST TAKING A BREAK??

there has to be more

NOOOO WHAT THATS THE END???

there’s gotta be an end credit scene with that god damn g-serum

WAIT OKAY WHILE THE CREDITS PLAY HERES MY THEORIES FOR THE NEXT (assumedly) GAME:

another couple years timeskip, right? norman has been trying to perfect this g-serum for harry and bc they’re related he has to test it on himself or volunteers bc their relation means testing it on himself will give the best results or some shit like that, and it goblin-ifies him. he blames spider-man for not properly saving harry and green goblin goes after spidey as a result. at this point peter has not done any spidey-ing around since the end of this second game other than consulation stuff with miles to help miles out. miles has been working as new york’s only spider-man. peter has grown emily-may maybe not to a perfected degree but it’s successful and he’s making a living trying to better the world in the ways he always dreamed about with harry prior to the spider bite. on the side he’s been trying to put together his own cure for harry. maybe norman uses the g-serum on harry as well or maybe he doesnt but either way the green goblin(s?) become such an issue that peter has to put the suit back on for the first time in forever to 1. help miles 2. save the city 3. stop norman and 4. hopefully use his own cure to save harry

OK CREDITS ARE OVER

END CREDIT SCENE I KNEW IT WHATS HAPPENING

lol watch the end credit scene completely destroy my theory already

OTTO ??? THE DOC OF OCK????

NORMAN IS ASKING OTTO WHO THE SPIDER MEN ARE

“they ruined my son” NO THEY DIDNT YOU PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT YOU’RE THE ONE WHO PUT THE FUCKING SYMBIOTE TO USE IN THE FIRST PLACE

“GOOD” DAMN OTTO HOLY FUCK

NO WAY HOME SPOILER DISCUSSION

I'm not lying to you: major spoilers!

I loved this film. I'm going again tomorrow but I just need to talk about it. I'll make future posts about themes and shit but for now I wanna talk about characters.

Happy/Flash/Betty/Old Supporting Cast: They were good, not really new on anything, but i really liked them before anyway! Just, these characters and the teachers and such, they aren't the main takeaways and I don't wanna spend much time with them tbh.

Mysterio: I'm glad he wasn't still alive or pulled from other universes, as people theorized. He is better dead, it works with the themes of the trilogy about murder and death to have him be dead. He was fantastic in FFH, I'm glad we didn't use him too much and left room for this movie's rather huge cast.

JJJ: Only character I have more negative than positives about. I know he isn't the same as Raimi's, but he had so little presence and it was sad to me? In the ending when they showed him talking about Spider-Man's identity, I kinda got shocked cause wow, he really was in the movie and I forgot. Simmons' JJJ has been the best comedic character out of ANY Spider-Man film and it made me kinda sad to realize his return left so little impact.

MJ: Not a whole lot to say, she was really cool and really supportive, it was heartbreaking to see her forget Peter. She is very solid and enjoyable, just not any intricate thoughts, what can I tell you, she was awesome and that's all I need to say.

May: I called her death with my friends, just wanted to add that. But she really got her dues here, the previous movies pretty much reduced her to hot aunt and I'm so happy she took a much more central role. She pushed Peter to be better than he was, to really own up to his power by taking responsibility, and I'm so happy for it. Her death was heartbreaking, but my goodness, she was better here than in any of her other MCU appearances.

I also love how, even right before she died, she demanded that Peter saved her killer. THAT'S the Parker way, just, UGH.

Ned: I liked that he showed a knack for wizardry and, while not the biggest loss by the end of the movie, it makes me sad that the climax ensured he wouldn't be able to pursue his talents, you know? A layer of tragedy to an already tragic ending, but it made him very happy. I'm glad that in his final days with Spider-Man (for now), he finally got to stop living the superhero life through Peter and got a bit for himself.

Eddie/Matt: Very faithful proper introductions into the MCU. I know this Matt technically isn't the Netflix one but I still was FLOORED when he appeared. Catching the brick, the glasses, it was him. Eddie was a mess, confused, looked like shit, they truly knew what we loved about him. Very faithful cameos that enhanced the overall multiverse feel without being overpowering. Also, the Symbiote tease is incredible. Peter has a huge darkness in him now, the Symbiote can really prey on that. I'm excited yet fearful for their futures together.

Wong: Wong got his due and it made me so happy. He deserves to be Sorcerer Supreme and I'm very happy that he is, at least for now. I also like that the trailer was misleading and that Wong in the movie was more sympathetic. He knew how dangerous it was to make the spell work, but he didn't condemn it like in the trailer, and it added a great deal of empathy for him as he acknowledged that yes, it's dangerous, but this kid is suffering and he has done so much, they can try and give some back.

Strange: This is not a Sinister Six film by any means, but Strange does make six antagonists, and he certainly is an antagonist. He is in character, this is him. He's a bit meaner than the Avengers appearances yeah (but look at how different Steve is from TFA to The Avengers, crossovers stretch characters), but he is not ooc. With full knowledge, he let Tony die for a greater good, I totally buy that he would not care for these 5 villains lives. And I think his arrogance and bite does come from being demoted, that probably wounded his pride. He was harsh, but in the end he said "those who love and care for you, we won't remember you". He said "we". He cares for Peter, despite his, uh, more extreme reactions.

Lizard: Got a design upgrade, a slight one, but he did. He looked more reptilian and less live action Goomba, his voice wasn't as deep, and overall I was satisfied with the few moments he got. I have a real soft spot for Curt Conners in TASM 1, and while I knew he wouldn't get as much attention, what they did do felt faithful and loving all the same, and I was happy.

Sandman: His redesign was interesting, it helped him stand out. His constant sandy form did help keep the scenes from being "a bunch of guys in weird clothes standing next to a guy with octopus arms", it kept the scenes of them all together feeling more otherworldly. I also love that he worked with Peter on the spot, very faithful to his redemption. Idk why he went villain again and I'll look for it tomorrow, but yeah. Also sidenote, I'm glad that the lines about "them all dying to Spider-Man" was cut, it was inaccurate for 2 of the 5 villains and I'm glad it got a bit more nuance than they all died.

Electro: He was certainly much better than he was in TASM 2. I'm really glad that they brought Jaimi back and let him play a version of the character he liked more, it shows respect for the old movies BY changing them. They honor what the actor wanted and I think that shows so much more love for Spider-Man and the team behind the Amazing films, they allow them to improve on things they didn't like rather than stick strictly to the past. I loved his presence, he felt like a cougar ready to pounce at any moment.

Doc Ock: He was reduced to laughing stock a lot but I think it fits. Otto is an incredibly prideful man, so him being so thoroughly disarmed by a 17 year old boy (and laughed at by him and his friends) would certainly make him indignant. Either way, he has many stand out scenes. His introduction was incredibly tense, particularly when he started pulling the helicopter into Peter, trying to shred him. Alfred Molina was so damn good when Otto was cured. You could see the disbelief, the shock, then suddenly the relief and joy, it was incredibly beautiful. I also am very glad he got to build a relationship with Norman, something they didn't get to in their own trilogy. His rescue of Peter 2 and 3 as well as his discussion with Peter 2 was incredible as well. Overall a very faithful adaptation.

Norman/Goblin: Tied for my favorite character, he was just raw. Willem Dafoe is the most stand out performance, he was incredible in this film. Also fun fact, Willem only came back on the condition that he did all of his own stunts. This 66 year old man was doing the stunts of the main villain of one of the biggest superhero films of all time, just, wow. Norman was so kindly and I felt for him, his fear, his confusion. The way he nearly cried when he mentioned that his son no longer existed, I just, it hurt. I know he showed more kindness and love in this than in Spider-Man 1, but you really appreciate what you have once it's gone, and that makes you appreciate what you do have. His relationship with May was also adorable.

Well, until it wasn't.

Goblin is mortifying, easily a top 3 MCU villain and a STRONG contender for the best, idk I haven't thought too hard about it. He brought something out of Peter that we haven't seen. Even before he killed May, Goblin made Peter fight so much more brutally, their fight in the apartment complex is chilling. Goblin cackling as Peter beat him down was so damn terrifying. I also loved how Willem portrayed Norman/Goblin leading up to Goblin taking control. Every mention of Goblin made Norman seem a bit more off, especially on my second watch it created such Dread, seeing Goblin come slowly, piece by piece.

I'll save most of the discussion of his fight with Peter on the Shield in Peter's section, but Goblin did that. Goblin brought our Peter, the MCU hero most against killing, to absolute blood lust, and that alone makes him a monster.

Peter 3/Andrew: The second character tied for my favorite (one of three). Andrew legitametly was so good in this. I am astounded that he was honestly more cool to see show up than Tobey, his introduction was so much better.

Let's take a sidenote real quick: I don't like TASM 2. I loved Andrew in the first one. He didn't quite know how to explain his genius, he lacked some tact with time, he had anger issues, but he did everything he could in the end to do right by his uncle and the world. His Spider-Man was initially so mean and aggressive but you can see it mellow out as he comes to better terms with Ben's death. He was incredible and definetly not too cool. Yeah, he was hot and skateboards, but he was so bad at interacting with his classmates that I can see why he was bullied, but he was so smart and kind that I can see why he grabbed Gwen's eye. TASM 2 ruined that. There are multiple instances in fights where he fucks around needlessly and people die. In the opening fight with Rhino, he gets on the truck and messes around for half a minute before jumping off to help people. If he had just stopped Rhino instead of goofing off less people would have died, as right after he jumped off Rhino plowed through an intersection, undoubtedly killing the occupants of the cars he hits. I also hate how he refused to help Harry because of potential consequence, Peter saves everyone he can, even his villains. Speaking of, he straight up murdered Electro and no one cared. He also just stalks Gwen? Gwen's death was very well done, but I can't stand Peter in that movie otherwise. I don't mind Peter being in the wrong, but the movie never makes any attempt to paint these things as wrong or mistakes, and that is what really irks me.

In NWH they refine both interpretations very well. He is clunky and weird and anxious, even more so than the other two, but he's so endearing and you can tell that he has more confidence despite not quite nailing interaction with other people yet. He has the failings of TASM 2, but this time they are shown as wrong. He mentions not pulling his punches anymore. Now, that doesn't exclusively mean killing, but if a guy who can throw cars is going all out on a regular crook, well, 1 + 1 = 2. But it works for this movie! His guilt, his regret, he hates what he has become. He wants to stop Tom's Peter from becoming what he did, and he is reminded of what Spider-Man is himself.

I also love him catching MJ. I don't view it as a redemption, really, it isn't. Gwen is still dead, the people he killed are still dead. But it shows that he's back on the horse. He learned and he is genuinely trying to save someone he views to be his younger brother and his loved ones. It was a catch of love for his younger brother, not of redemption for himself. And the way he cries, it's painful to remember, but he's guarding his brother's loved ones. I just, I love Andrew in this film so much. He also saves Electro in this film and shows a genuine want to be his friend, his true friend, which again, shows his growth from the dark path he went down.

Peter 2/Tobey: He was really cool to see! He had mad Youth Pastor vibes and I loved his interactions with his villains, especially how he saves Norman. I'm going to keep his section brief because God this is long, but I adored him.

Peter 1/Tom, who I will call Peter: the third favorite in the three way tie. His arc is incredible. I love how sinister his final confrontation is with Goblin, how brutal it is. It's chilling that when Tobey stopped him he didn't immediately stop pushing, he kept going for a bit, he was trying to go through Tobey, he was willing to kill him to get to Goblin, if even for a moment. But he doesn't. I have a post here if you want to hear my extended thoughts on Peter and his arc in the MCU about murder.

His final decision is strangely optimistic. He is hurt deeply that no one remembers him, but he isn't crushed. He seems almost optimistic about the future. MJ and Ned are in MIT and he is happy for them. He is in no rush to get back to where he was with them, he seems content to give it time. He also seems happy to be in his own apartment finally. He is a young man ready to keep going with life, despite all of his losses, and that is also core to Peter Parker, how he keeps going despite the hell he goes through.

I also love two of his new suits. The inside out look was just to sell toys, but the other two? Amazing. I love that the upgraded suit was really just a gold piece of armor over his FFH suit. I love that it is a symbol of what he stands for, Ock gave it to him as a gift for curing him. I also love his final swing suit. It's homemade so it looks cheaper which I love, but I also love how he designed it to look more like the other two Peters' suits.

Ultimate Spider-man Aunt May

Aunt May and Peter work at FEAST

Mix of Spiderman 2017, Ultimate Spiderman, Spectacular Spider, Avengers Assemble

Harry has always had a crush on Peter but was too scared to tell him how he felt

Before joining Shield, Harry and Norman Osborn were mutated in an experiment with Spider-man’s blood and small extracts of the symbiote Norman planned with Doc Ock as the next step in human evolution

While Norman was willing to begin his experimentation and lost control, Harry was forced but was able to keep his sanity thanks to Peter

Peter saves Harry as Spiderman and escapes before the lab explodes

Norman tried to kill Peter as the Green Goblin, but Harry stopped him and incapacitated him in his Goblin form

SHEILD arrests Green Goblin and Doc Ock just as Spiderman and Harry escape

The Hobgoblin is three times the size of Harry, massive muscles, horns with pale sand color skin and a exoskeleton tail that connected to spikes from his neck, down to his spine from the tip of his tail that could pierce anything, claws, pointed ears, and eyes like a serpent, similar to Green Goblin in Ultimate Spiderman

Harry soon learns to change back to himself and into the Hobgoblin at will With Petey’s help, though he would need to take an extra change of clothes

Soon they became a tag team of Spiderman and Hobgoblin as often seen with Spiderman riding on Hobgoblins back

Though Harry says he likes going on all fours because it made him look more majestic, Peter knows it’s because he keeps bonking his head on ceilings and doors

J.J.J calls Spiderman a menace and Hobgoblin a monster, though Harry is tempted to put the scare on the reporter, he behaves for Peter

Only Mary Jane knows that they’re both heroes

Nick Fury finds the pair and offers them an enrollment in Shield

Harry was less than trusting as Peter wanted to join, the Hobgoblin request some time to think about it

The two then discuss it as Peter wanted to be better, an ultimate while Harry tells him that not everything was black and white, and Fury has done things that weren’t ‘ethical’ or legal

Eventually agreed when four villains attacked the school

Harry agrees with two conditions, Peter would not be involved in anything too far and that he is kept up to date with his father, who was still imprisoned and under treatment for Goblinism

The duo meets White Tiger, Powerman, Kid Nova and Iron Fist

Harry gets the resources to create his own armor and uniform, so he won’t tear about his clothes and starts making his gliders and Hobgoblin weaponry

Harry gets jealous when Peter gets along with the others, though does bicker with Nova

Ava discovers Harry’s feelings for Peter when she sees a drawing of him in his backpack, but promises not to tell, even though she thought it was weak

Harry becomes good friends with Powerman and Iron First

MJ and Harry were surprised that Peter couldn’t get the role of Spiderman in the musical, even though he may get exposed, the guy sings like an angel

Every time Peter swaps bodies with someone, like Wolverine and Hulk, it gets very weird for Harry as he loved Pete’s mind, soul, heart, and was attracted to his body

Eddie returns and Harry warns the group to stay clear and keep Petey away from him

Peter and Eddie were close, and Eddie was Peter’s first friend since their parents were friends, even calling him a brother

Eddie is obsessed with Peter, wanting to be more than brothers

The group learn that Eddie was very dangerous and nearly got Pete killed years ago when he crossed the mob

Harry was the one that turned him in, and Aunt May and Uncle Ben put a no contact and restraining order on Eddie to protect Peter

Peter blamed himself as the money stolen was meant for him to be happy forever, though everyone else saw things differently

Eddie kidnaps Peter at his home after rendering Aunt May unconscious

Eddie wanted the symbiote, the one created from their fathers to cure diseases and restore limbs that Otto stole from SHIELD, which Eddie believes SHIELD stole from their fathers

He found a video from Dr. Brock explaining the experiment and how SHIELD stole it

Dr Brock brought Dr. Parker and their wives to the plane to track SHIELD and find it but were killed in the crash

They find an underground lab, where their father’s worked and found the missing symbiote

Peter discovers the tape and learns SHIELD didn’t steal, his father turned it in as evidence, against HYDRA

HYDRA contracted the scientist in secret to create a weapon, not a cure and Eddie’s father wanted to continue even though Richard wanted nothing to do with it when he found out

Richard Parker worked as both a freelance scientist and a member of SHIELD with his wife in secret

Eddie used the symbiote despite Peter trying to stop him

His team and Shield arrived as Venom accidentally almost killed Peter

Hobgoblin went berserk and took down venom, but venom escaped

Peter recovered as Fury showed everything about his parents and the tape Richard wanted Pete to see

White Tiger and Harry bond on control of their powers as Peter bonded with her on losing loved ones to violence

Deadpool begins wanted date Pete after their mission, though Fury made it clear that he needed to stay away, with his guns

After the Tri-carrier went down, Harry finally confessed his feelings to Peter as the finally started to date, even though neither of them knows how dating works

The gang stays at Pete’s place as Aunt May helps Peter in ways in relationships and dating

When Carnage happened with Peter, Venom comes for his love and absorbs the Carnage Symbiote to become more powerful as he was hunting Norman Osborn, promising to kill Harry after him

When Osborn is cured, he does everything he can to win back Harry’s trust

Harry was disappointed by not surprise when his father becomes the goblin again, but Peter helps him and encourages him to not lose hope for his father

Flash still becomes Agent Venom from a symbiote spawned form the original

When Peter becomes a leader of many teams, Harry becomes more attracted and becomes Peter’s second in command

Miles is partnered with Harry in the other Earth when they lost their Peter

Other Harry blames himself and his father, vowing to end the madness for Peter

When Norman is returned to normal for good with his memories of the goblin gone, Harry want to be there to make sure his father never goes down that path again

Another trip to the multiverse, this time Harry comes with and gets infatuated with the Peter Parkers he meets, making Peter a little jealous and angry, though explaining that the Peters have a Harry in their lives

Other Harry tells Harry to hold on to his Peter and never let go

Otto kidnaps Eddie after his failure with Scarlet Spider turning on him at the last moment, turning him into Antivenom

Antivenom attacks Flash and Harry, Harry getting badly injured as did Flash

Before Antivenom could end them, Peter came from begin and shocks him, sending him into a coma

Both Flash and Harry were put on temporary leave until they heal

When the carnage started, Eddie finally snapped out of it and decided to finally to the right thing for Peter

Harry got Pete out as Eddie knocked him out and told Hobgoblin to get Peter away

Eddie Brock did not survive as Peter grieved, Harry telling him he loved him enough to die for him and he finally did the right thing because of Pete

Mary Jane still becomes Spider Woman with the Carnage Symbiote

After the Carnage, Harry purposed to Peter, agreeing to marry after graduation

The other clones except Kane never perished and were never synthezoids

Connors explained that the clones were a mixture of Spiderman’s DNA and Harry’s unique Hobgoblin DNA, in a way the clones (Ghost Spider, Goliath Spider, Bone Spider, and Scarlet Spider) were like their children

Both Pete and Harry easily accepted them into the family as May made plans for the newest members of their family

[no-te-lo-voy-a-dar]

Ivy league colleges being STILL conservatively difficult due secondary genders??? oh yeah, Matt is even willing to offer talking to Foggy and Karen again if it means he can help Peter, and Stephen still has contacts he's offering to talk - who declines because he has several other ideas and letters of his own and MJ has a whole plan actually but the support is highly appreciated. Mysterio doesn't even have time to start planning anything because if he interrupts Peter's vacation he's going down so fucking fast. RAEL YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS - May just perishing in a building or place she had no true chance of surviving and Peter not learning of her fate until much later after the fight, because even if it was an Avengers fight the whole vigilantes and underground heroes have to go out and protect civilians and deal with the finer details and stray details and so of course the Pack was out, even if not together, and then they regroup and when the jitters are down he tried to contact Aunt May, and her phone is without service but so we're Frank's, Layla's and Karen and Foggy (who still check on Matt, perhaps) so it's okay - but then she doesn't arrive home, and he calls her hospital and - eventually he learns the truth and it's just back to non-verbal Peter who's mourning and goes from being kind of empty to aggressive and - maybe Reader uses the boon Dream had promised them to allow Peter to talk with May freely and lucidly, after hearing of how Peter keeps dreaming about a raven with a white collar and white in the point of it's wings and Matt Stephens reminds R about how the Dream Lord has ravens associated with him too and so they ask him and maybe May fell asleep due lack of oxygen before dying and asked to stay as a Raven of the Dreaming due the chance of keeping track of Peter even in dreams, because the kid has always been such a strong dreamer both asleep and awake and Dream, knowing everyone, immediately knows, and wants to see where this goes and :D so Peter now kind of has a raven following him around after the main trauma and May still helps delivering messages for the King of Nightmares but it's not Main Raven like Matthew - perhaps spends more time with Lucienne or Merv (jfc not me creating the outlining of a while fic for this help)

MCU Peter Parker the guy that you are *pats his head* this boy can fit so much tropes and trauma and growth - and adding angst for the adults perhaps Stephen notices how much more time the omega is spending with him and he doesn't want the main trio to feel like he's trying to steal Peter from them and so contains himself a lot, dancing a fine line between offering all the comfort and love Peter deserves and for him to not get too attached, to not call him son as an endearment - meanwhile the main trio is delighted to see Stephen have this change on his dynamic with Peter because it's good for them both, and Peter deserves all the healthy parental figures and Strange is the best one of them to guide him with this specific issue with his scent and ask him about Peter a lot, not in jealousy but eager to help and see them both thrive

SCREAMING with the idea of Peter swinging his legs while drinking yakult with a straw and just saying the most cryptic and eerie shit possible with such a cheerful voice

this Eddie and Peter are just kind of what the other need to develop some parts of themselves: Peter needs to learn safer ways to do illegal things more easily, or without as much remorse of hitting certain people, of violence, while Eddie and V learn more compassion and kindness from him, calmness that Eddie had forgotten and so V didn't know about. Venom enveloping and injured Spiderman in gooey limbs, covering him so nothing can hurt him while they jump to a safe place. Peter carrying Eddie to bed when he passes out on the sofa even if V can do that himself but letting the symbiote eat tater tots Peter himself did for the alien. Eddie becoming an emergency weighted blanket for Peter when the kid is overwhelmed and overstimulated, using his normal human hands as ear muffers and just talking to him. V going to Peter's body to aid on the initial healing his body sometimes needs after a rough fight, Peter's body being compatible even if not perfect, just enough for him to heal him to the point his healing factor does the rest without too much struggle. Peter chirping in joy at V snuggling him like a gooey cat when he enters the flat, and Eddie ruffling his hair which makes Peter laugh. once Peter reaches drinking age encouraging a drinking competition to see who can hold alcohol better

they are gremlins but also nice to each other

Popping by your inbox for a change bc you’re always in mine-

I am juggling about ideas for the final arc of g&c and I wanted to ask you about what u think Peter would smell like after awakening his second scent-

Also about Eddie and Vee too. I am hcing him as either a beta or an omega and Vee doesn’t have a secondary gender but they will probably be influenced by Eddie? Idk-

hello hello my friend, worry not about me being on your ask box most of the time, it's no issue to/for me, i am DELIGHTED you answer them

well, i have thought about Peter's second smell, SPECIALLY after we had R be near death on that last chapter and thinking about Matt and Peter being there and feral and unhinged and worried - when u mentioned his golden eyes i wondered about the trigger for his second smell and if Aunt May is.... staying alive on this au or what

i can't pick a specific smell, because some i think would be still incredibly easy to track down, giving him a very distinctive one, like lab smell (which, they smell differently depending on what's worked there) some ideas: growth medium is one specific one; then there's the lingering smell that lab coats and clothes get when u spend s lot of time in a lab where the chemicals don't produce fumes, and yet the mix of the lab itself and what u use to clean it stays on your clothes for a week if you don't wash it; then i remembered that burnt electronic components have a wide variety of smells, from funny, to "oh something electric is burning" to just disgusting. THEN i thought of something that's like, opposite to his nerdy and "weird" and "can totally develop/create something to bring you down" side and tie it with nature's, to his spider side: perhaps a smell not quite like rotten meat to the point it's unpleasant, but it's just - decay; the smell of wet rocks because that's where spiders hide; or of old, humid wood, the kid that you know will break under you and leave you at Death's door and yet it's wood you can trust it right? ; or perhaps something still pleasant but dangerous if provoked/used wrong, like lilies (even the soil or water that touches them is poisonous) or angel's trumpet (it is said here you shouldn't even sleep under a bush of angel's trumpets or else you might not wake up the same), for example - or the smell of a bonfire, which if you leave unattended or handle wrong will consume the forest, but when taken care of it's nice and warm and equals safety

as you can see, each scent I've thought about for Peter is/can be tied to angst and his life and Tony and the Pack and his own self-image and stuff, some more than others but 🤠

as for Eddie yeah, i thought of him as an omega, and maybe Anne was an alpha and that's partially why they worked so well and why everyone said they were such a nice couple yet also part of why Anne's family never truly liked Eddie??? and having Dan as a beta makes the three of them have even more sense. Omega Eddie also explains a lot/adds to how he treats himself and his need to either hide away or do everything to prove himself - he snarls at people who belittle him or are condescending to him ... until he just drops his head and doesn't. Venom could work as either beta or alpha, when he understands secondary genders, but,,,, he molds himself to Eddies body, so he probably craves a lot of what omegas do anyways - but he can still work to make his human happier and more comfortable and use his shapeshifting/moldeable abilities when/if needed

In Case You Don’t Live Forever

~chapter two rewritten~

Pairing: Peter Parker x Venom!Reader

Synopsis: you are Peters greatest love and Spider-Man’s greatest enemy

Masterlist and Series Masterlist

Moving and finding an apartment can be an incredibly long and stressful process. Unless you’re you, and life likes to throw a lot of curve balls at you for the utter hell of it.

Your dad dropped dead three weeks after you told Andy you were moving to New York. Coincidentally, right in the middle of you trying to find a place to live. He drank himself to death. Figures. You doubted you’d ever had a conversation with him that he was sober enough to remember. His untimely demise was unfortunate for him, because he died or whatever, but very fortunate for you. As his only child, you got his apartment in Queens and all his smelly hoodies.

You said your goodbyes to Andy and Dani after a night out in the streets of San Francisco. You had originally moved there after high school to start your show, The L/n Report. San Francisco was known for its crimes against the homeless population and you wanted to start with a story on that. You ended up interviewing Andy at the police station while investigating a missing person, and dated him for two years. Now, you were spending your last few hours in San Francisco with the very boy you once loved and the very girl he now did.

“Are you all packed?” Dani asked you, snapping you out of your thoughts.

“Pretty much. I gotta put my toothbrush and hairbrush in my suitcase in the morning. Other than that, I’m good to go.” You answered her. She smiled fondly at you as she linked her arm through yours.

“Hey, I’m really gonna miss you. More than that guy over there.” You whispered, nodding towards Andy, who had his head buried in his phone. Dani laughed and nodded in agreement as you continued to walk.

“I’m going to miss you too. You’re my best friend here.” She sighed sadly.

“I’m glad we’re friends. Most women in our position would hate each other.” You thought out loud.

“Uh uh. You’re thinking of women in films. It’s 2021, baby. Women support women. You and I are two talented, smart, beautiful women who would never be caught fighting over some boy. Especially not one who can’t take his eyes off his phone for two seconds.” Dani said loudly and smacked Andy’s arm. You laughed at the domestic moment but couldn’t help feeling a pain in your heart knowing he used to be that way with you.

“What, sorry?” Andy looked up. You and Dani looked at him before looking at each other and laughing.

“What’s funny?” He asked, growing annoyed.

“We’re laughing at you babe. Put your phone away. It’s Y/N’s last night here.” Dani scolded playfully. Andy sighed and reluctantly put his phone in his pocket.

“Right, sorry. And it’s not her last night here. She’s coming back. You are coming back, right?” He asked you. You nodded, though you weren’t entirely sure.

“Of course I’ll be back.” You shrugged. “I just want to experience something new for a while. I’ve done a million pieces on homelessness and poverty. I want to see what fresh stories New York has to offer.”

“You’re quoting the Daily Bugle, aren’t you?” Dani teased you.

“That is verbatim what they said to me.” You admitted with a laugh. “But hey, it worked. As of tomorrow, I’m the Daily Bugle’s newest investigative reporter.”

“Who are you reporting on anyway?” Andy showed a rare interest in your work.

“Some guy named Cletus Kasady.” You answered. “He’s some hot shot serial killer down in Queens. No one knows how he’s hiding his victims bodies. Apparently none have ever been close to being found.”

“And they want you to write the story on him?” Andy raised an eyebrow, always with the condescending tone.

“Well they heard about the whole Carlton Drake situation and decided I hadn’t been through enough trauma in my career.” You replied, earning a laugh from Dani but not Andy. You and Andy had already broken up by the time Carlton Drake contracted a symbiote and tried to kill you and Venom. You stopped him before he could hurt anyone and wrote a career defining article on his lethal human experiments. You managed to leave out all information regarding symbiotes from the article, so your secret was still safe. You were a fairly well known reporter since the incident and your next job was waiting for you in New York.

In the morning, You and Venom got on a plane and made your way to New York. Being on a plane with Venom turned out to be the equivalent to traveling with a toddler. You tried to sleep, but every two seconds you had to stop Venom from getting into trouble. She kept trying to open the window, even after you explained to her that everyone on the plane would die horrible death if the window were to open.

“Stop that.” You whispered when you noticed a black tendril creeping towards the window. The lady in the seat next to you shot me a look of confusion. You gave her a fake smile and turned back to the window, doing your best to conceal the small black tendril that was coming out of your body and fidgeting with the airplane window.

“We want it open.” Venom replied telepathically.

“Do you also want us to blow out of the plane and into space?” You said through my teeth.

“We didn’t anticipate that but it’d be appreciated.” Venom answered, making you groan. The rest of the plane ride followed in similar fashion.

Seven hours later, you arrived at the apartment building. You had never been to your dads apartment, you didn’t even know he had one. You wondered what happened to your childhood home as you looked around the place. The apartment wasn’t too small but not too big either. The rent was practically nothing compared to how expensive San Francisco was, and The Daily Bugle offered to cover your expenses until the story was done. You figured after some redecorating and moving in, it would make a fine new home.

The first seven days in the apartment went by smoothly. You unpacked, with little to no help from Venom, and set up the furniture. On the eight day, you sat on the couch, aimlessly flipping through channels in the TV when you had a thought.

“Oh shit.” You said out loud.

“What?” Venom, who was curly nestled around your neck like a neck pillow, asked.

“I forgot mail exists.” You frowned. “We better go check the mailbox before it overflows.”

You and Venom grudgingly walked to the mailboxes and back again. No one was around, so she manifested herself and rested on your shoulder as I looked through the mail.

“Oops. I grabbed someone else’s mail too.” You clicked your tongue when you read a strangers name off the envelope. “I gotta find them.”

“Let’s go.” Venom said and pulled you towards the front door.

“Sorry, babe. This is a me thing, not a we thing. You know I love you but I don’t want to scare our neighbors. Not yet anyway.” You reasoned. Venom grumbled and went back inside your body.

You checked the address of the envelope and discovered that it belonged to the apartment directly across from you.

You knocked on the door and patiently waited for someone to open it as you mindlessly cracked your knuckles. Just as you were about to walk away, the door opened.

“Hi, are you May Parker?” You asked right away. You looked up from the envelope and your face instantly flushed. The person staring back at you definitely wasn’t May Parker. It was a boy around your age, maybe a little younger. He had soft brown eyes and wavy brown hair. It was gelled back loosely and you could see the outline of soft curls. To your surprise, he was just as flushed as you were. You stared at each other for a moment, no one wanting to be the first to blink.

“Yea. I’m May Parker.” The boy said finally. He shut his eyes in embarrassment and shook his head.

“I mean, no I’m not. But that’s my Aunt. May is my Aunt but I’m not May. That’s my Aunt May. I’m her nephew…obviously. Aunt May is my Aunt May. I…what?” He stumbled over his words and somehow turned even redder. His blush reached all the way down his neck, to his blue jumper that read “Midtown Tech” in yellow letters. You recognized the name of one of the most prestigious high schools in New York, already impressed with your new neighbor.

“Well hello, not May Parker. I’m also not May Parker. But I seemed to forget that when I grabbed your mail this morning. Sorry about that.” You said sheepishly as you handed his mail to him. The boy rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at it and attempted to redeem himself.

“It’s not problem. She and I always forget to check the mail so you actually helped us, um, whoever you are.” He smiled weakly. His voice was cute. He had that Queens accent that the people of San Francisco lacked, for obvious reasons.

“Oh, right.” You laughed in embarrassment. “I’m Y/N L/N. I just moved here from San Francisco. I live across the hall.”

You pointed to the door behind you as if he didn’t know what “across the hall” meant. You didn’t know what was wrong with you. You were never this awkward.

His eyes lit up a bit once you told him where you lived.

“Really? I thought that smelly guy lived there.” The boy said and you stifled a laugh.

“That smelly guy was my father. He died a little while ago so I live there now.” You told him, malign the boys eyes widen. They were so brown. Like little pools of honey. Or little pools of the Hudson River. You had seen a million pairs of brown eyes before, but none like his. They were quite distracting to be honest.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry! I had. I had no idea-“ he began to frantically apologize but you cut him off.

“Don’t worry about it. We never got along. And you’re right, that man stank.” You chuckled. It was the first thing you said that felt like your old self. You hadn’t really talked to anyone since moving to New York, with the exception of Venom and the occasional phone call from Andy or Dani. You liked talking to this boy, though you still had no idea who he was.

“Oh thank God. I thought I screwed this up before it even went anywhere.” He immediately turned red when he heard his own words. You saw the regret in his eyes and decided to throw him a bone.

“Well it certainly can’t go anywhere until you tell me your name.” You flirted. Again, he relaxed. You felt a surge of confidence knowing he wanted this to go well.

“Parker. I’m Parker Peter. I mean, Peter Parker.” He fumbled over his words again, making you smile fondly.

“We like him. He’s cute.” Venom said telepathically. You looked down at my shoes and blushed, knowing you liked him too.

“And he looks delicious.” She added, ruining the moment.

“It’s nice to meet you Peter Parker.” You gave him your best smile. “I’m glad there’s someone my age around here. Everyone I’ve met so far is either an old bitty or a creepy uncle type.” You regretted it as soon as it left your mouth. You didn’t know what his sense of humor was like and he might not find you the slightest but funny. Andy always told you you were bad at telling jokes, and you feared he might be right.

Lucky for you, Peter burst out laughing.

“Ah. I’ve seen you’ve met Henry.” Peter pointed a finger down the hall. “Yeah, I’d stay away from him. He asked me if he could have pictures of my feet once. He said he’d “pay me handsomely” for it too.”

“Damn. So he beat me to asking you.” You pretended to be upset, which made Peter laugh again. The sound of his laugh made your heart pick up speed. You weren’t used to feeling like this. Boys rarely impressed you, Andy was just lucky you liked a man in uniform.

“Yeah. You better stay away from him.” Peter advised.

“It might be hard.” You clicked your tongue. “Our mailboxes are pretty close. I’ll make a mental note to never check my mail while wearing flip flops, though.”

Peter smiled at your joke. He had the kind of smile that you would make the person laugh just to see it again. It was brilliant.

“Well my mailbox should be directly above yours. So don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” He grinned, and you grinned back.

“My hero.” You gushed as you put your hands over your heart. The tips of his ears went pink, like he was shocked that you said that.

“I’m no hero.” He sounded almost panicked, like you touched a nerve or something.

“We’re hungry. We need to eat.” Venom interrupted abruptly, causing you to jump. Since Peter couldn’t hear her, he looked at you strangely, not knowing the cause of your sudden jolt.

“Sorry, I uh, I thought I saw a spider.” You lied.

“If there was a spider, we’d eat it. We need food. Now.” Venom demanded.

Peter looked up at his doorframe for the imaginary spider.

“Yeah, New York is full of them.” Peter said skeptically. “Not that full, though. And some spiders are nice. One might even call them friendly.”

“Right.” You laughed at his strange wording, unaware that you were both keeping a secret.

“Would…” Peter began but trailed off, seemingly mulling something over in his head. “Would you like to eat dinner with my Aunt and I? I remember when we first moved in, it took us a while to get into the swing of things and make dinner every night. If you like, you could join us. And, you know, we could get to know each other.” He offered. It all came out in one breath. You could tell he was nervous and that only drew you in more.

“I’d love to Peter.” You said, and he smiled in relief.

“Great.” He gave an awkward thumbs up. “We usually eat around six so maybe come around then? She’ll be so happy to meet you. She loves cooking and she always tries to get me to learn but I once burnt cereal and I still don’t know how.” Peter began to ramble. He cut himself off and shook his head again. “Sorry. I’m rambling.”

Then, you did something stupid. You put your hand on his arm like the dumb bitch you were. You barely knew this guy. Who the hell were you to touch him? He must’ve been thinking the same thing, since he instantly froze under your touch and stared at your hand on his arm.

“Don’t apologize. I can’t cook either. Unless you count making tater tots as cooking. Then I’m Gordon Ramsey.” You assured him, feeling him relax under your touch.

“You’re just gonna mention tater tots without warning us first? Our mouth is watering. Can we eat Peter?” Venom asked, making your eyes widen.

If it was socially acceptable to scream at your symbiote in public, you would’ve yelled “NO, WE CANNOT EAT PETER” from the top of your lungs. But since you didn’t want to scare Peter and the rest of the neighbors away, you merely smiled and made another mental note to smack the shit out of Venom later.

“I love that man. “Where is the lamb sauce?” Peter mimicked in a bad British accent. He had no right being as charming as he was.

“No no no.” You shook your head. “His best line is “I’ll get you more pumpkin and I’ll ram it right up your ass. Would you like it whole or diced?”. He’s said some pretty wild things but that one makes me cry.”

Peters laugh rang through the halls. To be the cause of that laugh was a feeling like no other. You stood there for a while, just looking at each other. His eyes grazed down your body, but not in a crude way. You berated yourself for not dressing better when going to meet the neighbors, clad in nothing but a grey hoodie and some leggings. Peter looked cute, but you had a feeling he always did. His jumper was pretty baggy and you could see a collared shirt poking out the top. He was dressed almost professionally and you found it incredibly endearing.

You wanted to know more about him. You wanted to know his secrets and his hobbies and what makes him itch. You wanted to see if he dresses this way on weekends too or what his summer clothes looked like. Your gawking was interrupted by Peters phone ringing. He broke out of his trance and answered it quickly.

“Hi, Mr. S. No I’m not busy. I mean, I’m super busy but I can totally make time for you. Yea, Happy talked to me. Okay. Okay. Where? Okay. See you in a bit.” Peter hung up and looked at you apologetically.

“That was my job. I have to run but I’ll be back in time for our dinner. I live at…you know where I live. I’ll see you then. Don’t be late.” Peter called as he ran down the hallway, towards the elevator.

“I won’t. See you later.” You called back.

You went back to your apartment and like a kid, broke out into a happy dance.

“Venom!! Did you see how cute he was?” You gushed. “And how funny he is? I have to get ready for tonight.”

Venom manifested and swirled around my arm.

“Someone has a crush.” Venom smirked. Well, as much of a smirk as she could muster with that huge mouth of hers.

“I don’t have a crush. I just think he’s cute okay?” You replied coyly. “Cute. And funny and sweet and charming and amazing. But that’s it.”

“We can feel your heart beat.” Venom reminded you. “It was going ten miles an hour. What would Andy say?”

You had been rummaging through your closet and stopped in your tracks. With Peters new inhabitance in your mind, you had forgotten all about Andy. You moved to New York to avoid his wedding and his moving on, and you might’ve succeeded.

“I don’t care what he’d say.” You decided. “He’s not my boyfriend.”

“But we want him to be.” Venom insisted. “We want him back, remember?”

“I don’t know what I want.” You answered honestly. “I just want to get ready for tonight.”

“Why are you getting ready now? You have 5 hours until you have to be there and it’s right across the hall.” Venom teased.

“Only 5 hours?” You sighed. “We better get moving.”

The Loser Who Will Save Him

Fandom: Venom Pairing: Symbrock Rating: T+ Words: 901

They collapsed onto one knee in the church.

We lost them, Eddie gasped as Venom began to recede from his face. "We're safe. You're safe."

Venom formed his own separate head next to Eddie’s so that he could face him directly. "We ran like cowards," he spat, annoyed, even as he began healing the broken ribs in their side. For all his annoyance, Eddie could feel how much the fight had already taken out of him, how much slower the healing was than normal.

He moved a hand to their side. "Stop. You're exhausted. There was a lot of damage, but you've fixed the worst of it, my love. The rest can wait."

The symbiote grumbled indignantly and continued his work. “If you puny humans weren’t so fragile...”

“Oh, this is on me? This is why, by the way. This is why I try to get you to be discreet."

Venom narrowed his eyes and drew in until he was an inch from Eddie’s face. "’Discreet’ is for the unremarkable," he growled.

"And it's for the fucking alien symbiotes that every scientist in the world would give their left nutt to study and every government to try to make a weapon of! Some day, they're gonna take—"

A shrill sound blasted through the sanctuary.

Venom exploded from around him, shrieking with it.

"No!" Eddie reached, trying desperately to draw Venom back to him, to soothe him; but the sound grew even louder as the church doors burst open and the room was flooded with fuckers carrying guns and blowtorches.

"Get him! Capture the symbiote! Separate them!"

"NO!" Eddie reached for his other, but something hard found the back of his head, and Eddie’s world grew the wrong kind of black.

~~~

Eddie came to on the tacky, red carpet of the sanctuary floor, wondering if any of that red was his. He groaned and put his hand to the back of his head; it came away bloody.

"Fuck."

He gripped at his chest and cursed the emptiness. "They took him. I told him they'd—fuck…"

He stood and stumbled out into the night, looking up at the sky to confirm what he'd feared: he'd been out for hours; they were gone.

Venom was gone.

Venom was taken. He was taken, because the symbiote was reckless and wild and stupid refused to keep a low profile, and because—because...because Eddie couldn't protect him.

Eddie looked to his left and almost laughed at the irony when he recognized where he was. He walked over to the church graveyard.

He made his way through the graves, knowing exactly the location of the one he sought. He picked up a pebble and slung it at the headstone when he saw it; the pebble clicked lightly against it right next to the name: Flash Thompson.

"Fuck you," Eddie spat. "He still thinks about you, you know...you and Parker both. He tries to hide it, doesn't think I know, but it's not like we don't share a brain…

"He wanted you. He wanted Peter first, was obsessed with him, knew how strong they could have been together...but that was literally the only way they were compatible: physically.

“Then he found me and I...well, I was stupid. Then he found you...and I may have been first, but he loved you first.” Eddie swallowed. “But you lost him. The FBI took him from you and then you died. You lost him, and now I…” He sank to his knees before the grave.

Venom’s words from a fight years ago rung in his ears: Do you know how lucky you are I chose you? Ha, chose. Is that what you call settling for someone because the ones you really wanted either rejected you or died?

Eddie glared at the headstone. “Venom’s funny, and snarky, and makes me laugh even if he stresses me out and pisses me off…” Eddie swallowed, “and I think he got that from Peter. He’s proud, and he’s cocky, and he’s so sure he can use his bloodlust for good; and I think he got that from you. What am I teaching him? To be a loser? To get in over your head and then run?” Eddie choked out a sob.

“Peter rejected him, and at first, it made me think I should do the same, made me scared to let him influence me just like Peter was, but in the end, I wanted him. In the end, I loved it, loved him. I got him back. That’s gotta count for something, right?

“And that’s where we’re different. Peter rejected him. You used him for good. I just—I just want him. God help me I want him. I love him. That's—that's gotta count for something to him. It's got to.

He pushed himself up from the ground. "So, fuck both of you. I'm the least. I'm a loser. But you know what? Where Peter rejected him and you lost him, I'm the fucking one of us who's gonna save him.”

Eddie walked resolutely out of the graveyard and towards his motorcycle that was still—thankfully—where they’d left it beside the church.

“All right. Enough of the fucking pity party.” He mounted the bike and turned the key, put his thumb on the ignition. “Hold on, my love." He cranked it and revved the engine. "Wait for me. I'm coming.”
