Don't think I'll ever be able to sit to read a Boku no Hero fic and not spend a moment mourning the opportunity we lost.
Still think we should all have gotten the story of the quirkless hero. Don't think anything will ever change my mind on that.

The Devil All the Time ( 2020 )
OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS FREE REVIEW
"There's a lot of no-good sons of bitches out there"
Okay alright first of all 
This is not your generic go-to netflix crime thriller if you are watching it with that intention everything is wrong with you 
This Film is dark , not just dark but dark as hell which is filled with gore elements which also includes a multi layered story telling and the film is filled with a group of astonishing cast members and every one of them has a potential to carry the whole film on their shoulders with no hard work but just with grace and ease so these reasons altogether might have over hyped few people's expectations and i think that is the main reason why i am seeing some mixed reviews here and there online or maybe just because you started watching this film with a very wrong intent or wrong mind set like i said before and i am stressing this so much because of in my opinion this film is just perfect maybe there are flaws obviously every film will have flaws but i just couldn't see them ? Maybe because i am a big fan of tom holland i might be little biased but to me this film is top notch and this is a perfect film film 
Now speaking about the cast & film overall 
This is a very slow paced slow burning piece of art 
It takes you to the places you can never think of mentally and it makes you feel completely lost in emotions by the end of the film making you numb 
Antonio Campos is a fucking genius i love his way of story telling 
He's honest , he knows what he is doing , he loves taking risks and he never fears when ever he goes out of the conventional film making style and i very much love how he connected every character in the film like i mean every character in the film is interconnected and if you remove any one character you will feel the void , disturbance and unbalance in the film. 
Film lovers might argue with me or hate me for saying this but i feel this film is so much better than christine 👀🤝🏻 atleast to me ? And this is coming from a person who also loved it a lot 
Now the cast 
I cant speak about everyone in the film because this has such a long list of talented actors 😭 who rocked in the film i am only going to speak abt some of my favourite performances as of now i promise to speak about every other cast member and their performance in the later days coz i am very sure this is a film i am going to talk a lot from now and this is also a film that i am going to watch and enjoy in the future days 
First TOM FUCKING HOLLAND 
I have been seeing this dude's films even before the civil war where he played the spidey role and i always felt he was a very raw and potential actor since his childhood but after seeing him in civil war and spider man hoco its just impossible for me to not like him as an actor ? HE IS SO GOOD ON SCREEN and he makes you believe everything when ever he's on screen maybe its swinging from wall to wall or putting a donut or whatever into a guys mouth while kicking his ass and making it look bad ass af🔥 few might feel this are such a silly examples to say but to me this is about how tom brings a realistic approach to a scene and makes it good and i have always been a big fan of tom holland since spiderman hoco and this is nothing related to tdat but y'all might already know timothee was the second closest option of mcu to cast as spidey and tom grabbed that role ever since tom is just busy with mcu films and where as timothee had a incredible and unbelievable growth as an ACTOR for real to me that is stunning because he did it in such short of span and to me as fan of tom holland part of me was always loving him as spidey but a big heart of me felt a void and sad because tom is missing a lot of great opportunities which has a chance to showcase his real acting abilities which made me think what if timothee got the spidey role instead of tom? Maybe we would have seen a serious tom holland as an actor and this thought killed me everytime but everything happens for a reason and tom holland is undoubtedly the best spidey we have ever got and anyways when films like tdat happen many people realise and understand how great and how fucking incredible tom holland is as an actor and i love when everyone appreciate him for this !! It makes my heart very happy and this is the exact reason why this film is so personal and special to me 
Sorry for completely deviating from the film but this is tumblr and i am not a serious film critic lol so forgive me. 
And speaking about his performance in the film he is just surreal and outstanding . The character that he played is a very complicated one not many relate to that character but every one can understand his emotions, actions and intentions in the film and all the credit goes to tom for bringing a life to that character and playing it in such a beautiful way listen to me very carefully when i am saying this not many actors from this generation can bring bundle of emotions at the same time in a same scene but tom holland does that with such an ease and i stg i am not exaggerating if you watch the film you will know what i mean !! And i am very proud to say i am his big fan 
Now Robbert pattinson 
What the fuck should i talk about this asshole 😂🖕? 
My dude's been killing it since remember me and as an actor like i said in the Tenet Review he has matured a lot as an actor since good time and he played a very powerful and sick role in the film i am not gonna spoil it for others just go and watch the fucking film atleast for him he did a great job and i dont understand how the women and gays are dealing with him? Seriously even as a straight guy its hard for me to concentrate on the film or scenes where ever he's present because this asshole is so fucking hot and sexy 👉👈 The directors should either deglamorise him by making him fat or bald or just hide his face with prosthetic make up or sth just like how directors hide tom hardy's face in every film he's in 🙄. Now coming back to his performance its really hard to dominate him when ever he's on screen dude just want all the attention towards him , such a selfish actor huh 
Bill Skarsgard 
He played a very important and crucial role in the film he maynot have big screen time but we can totally feel his presence through out the film i think this one sentence explains how important his character is to the film and how well he potrayed the role and he's the only guy in the film who got an incredible character growth throughout his journey in the film
Harry Melling 
It would be very unfair if i dont speak about harry's performance in tdat 
DUDE KILLED IT . HE SCARED ME WITH HIS EMOTIONS AND EXPRESSIONS . He didn't even a play a negative role but he just added a lot of depth not only to his character but also the film with his intimidating portrayal 
Sebastian stan 
This is the most honest and a very raw performance from Sebastian stan so far ( i am saying this based on the films that i have seen of his ) i just wish he had more screen time thats the only thing that i didnt like in the film also there are so many blanks that needs to be filled about his character 
Eliza Scanlen
I dont remember her from any film or tv series that i have seen before but she's outstanding in the film , the character doesnt have much something new to offer so i can't speak a lot for her but as far as the character concerned she did her best and her performance is a impressive one and many people are gonna love her . 
Riley Keough 
Unlike the previous films & tv series she's been in 
This film gave her a very challenging role and she's the only women in the film who's been through ups and downs and has a very complicated but a impressive character growth with minimal limitations and dimensions 
She was fabulous and incredible . It just stuns me how the character has begin and how it ended at the end 
And special mention to jason clarke and the old couple who played grandparents ( kind of ) to Arvin Russel and lenora . Not all heroes wear the cape. 
Finally despite the mention of god several times in the film this is not really about god at all its about the DEVIL , The DEMON that carries and plays a very pivotal role in the film you cannot see it but you can sense it and feel it 
Its about the blind faith, its about the irreversible & inescapable fate . I really love how Antonio Campos has connected all the dots by the end of the film with a very impressive film making and with a steady gothic theme running till the end internally and i haven't completely finished the book ( The devil all the time ) but if anyone really wants to completely bring the book life they cannot do it in a single film it will take you atleast 4 or 5 tv series to do so but Antonio Campos did it with a single film and added a very deep meaning to the core of the film w/o deviating from the roots of the book & even touched the aspects like duality of a man and some of you grateful fucks are complaining about him 
OBVIOUSLY films ard subjective but you all need to be more open about this film 
In simple words please fucking watch this film guys 🤗❤ 
This one is not for everyone but everyone will have atleast a small aspect in the film that y'all are going to like / love / hate / discuss about. 
The devil all the time is violent , brutal , honest and perfect in every possible way atleast to me and i really want you all to watch it if you're into such type of stuff 
Remember No country for old men ? Now make it 10 times more violent but add some meaning to it with a realistic approach but more slow burning drama and a little bit of darkness ... now that is what The Devil all the time is .

Deku first kiss fluff? I don't really have any other ideas so I can't be as specific sorry babes!
You’re fine love!
I’m happy I even got a request in! So thank you!
I also want to apologize since this took forever!
I hope you enjoy!
🦅✨
* You had the most wonderful idea to get both of you out of your houses, they were showing a nice long All Might documentary at the local park as some sort of Hero Appreciation event.
* So who do you ask to go? Izuku Midoriya. Long time All Might fan, and your crush.
* You were nervous of course, but getting the chance to be with him and get closer to him? You wouldn’t dare pass that up!
* But, This Boy was n e r v o u s when you asked him to join you.
* He had a H U G E crush on you, and, he respected you. You two had grown close over the short amount of time knowing each other. Yet, that didn’t stop him from being nervous.
* Him being the nervous gentleman he is, he thought he’d show up to your place and walk with you from there.
* It took him a solid 5 minuets to work up the nerve to knock on your door, and as he stood there mumbling to himself he failed to noticed that you opened the door.
* “Oh! Hey! I was just about to head over to get you!”
* Seeing him stiffen, he gives you a large nervous smile and bows. Asking for your forgiveness.
* “W-What for?”
* “For standing at your door like a creep! I was going to knock but-“
* You stop his rambling with a soft giggle
* “It’s fine Izuku. Really! Now come on! Let’s get there now before all the good spots are taken!” You said to him with a large friendly smile.
* As you took his hand and started off towards the park, you could feel the heat radiating off of him.
* “ShE’s HOldInG My HaNd” he mumbled to himself.
* “Huh?”
* “Uh, it’s NOThIng! Let’s go!”
* You two had made it there a bit earlier than most, deciding to get closest to the screen as possible. But, having to look up to see the screen the entire time wasn’t the best idea ever.
* So having decided to find a nice spot in the middle, you both sat down and got comfortable.
* You could practically feel the nervousness radiating off of him, but that didn’t stop you from scooting closer. Mustering what little courage you had at the moment, you scoot closer next to him.
* Feeling his freeze up you look up at him and scoot away, worried you freaked him out.
* “H-Hey, why’d y-you scoot away?” He asked. His face a whole new shade of red you didn’t think was possible to achieve on a human face.
* “Sorry, I uh-I went to grab my jacket! Yeah!” Turning around you reach into your bag you had dragged along with you and unzipped it. Reaching in you search for your jacket, only to find a small throw blanket folded at the bottom.
* “Fuck” you thought to yourself. Feeling the heat of embarrassment rise in your cheeks you take a deep breath and turn back around towards Izuku.
* Seeing him stiffen at the sight of the blanket, you send him a small nervous smile. “Guess I forgot to bring my jacket, do you wanna use this?” You hesitantly ask the green haired male across from you.
* “I-uh-Yeah! It’s fine! It’s getting a little cold out h-here anyway right?” You could practically hear the nervousness in his voice.
* Swallowing the lump in your throat, you zip your bag up and scoot back closer to him, unfolding the blanket you hand one side to Izuku and hold the other.
* Fluffing the blanket up, you both lay it over your laps, and get as comfortable as possible. Leaving a small gap in between the both of you.
* Finally taking notice of the large amount of people around you, you took a second to realize how you were so unaware of your surroundings at that moment.
* “Hey, the Shows starting. Are you..Are you Warm?” He looked down at you and smiled nervously.
* Grinning you give his shoulder a pat, “yeah, I’m warming up. Thanks.” You say with a chuckle.
* As you both focus your attention on the documentary, you feel his arm slowly wrap around your waist. Feeling the man next to you grow stiff as he did so, you feel your heartbeat thumb in your chest.
* Taking a deep breath you go to refocus your thoughts on the documentary. ~~~~~~
* An Hour or so has passed and the documentary was almost over, you and Izuku has gotten rather closer in the time that the Show had started. Closing the gap you had between you and the green haired male.
* His body overtime had relaxed, so yours did as well. The blanket bundled up around both of your waists, and was keeping in the warmth from your both radiated. Keeping you both equally warm, as the temp in the surrounding area had grown colder.
* You had ended up leaning on his shoulder half way through the documentary, and only then did you realize how comfortable he was to lay on.
* The muscles he’s developed were nice of course, but he still kept that soft comfortable feeling you loved so much.
* As the Documentary came to a close you leaned away from him and stretched, letting out a rather loud yawn you hear him chuckle. Turning around you sent him a smile, “what?” You asked.
* Seeing him stiffen up at your question, your smile grew bigger. “W-What? You heard th-Uh that was nothing! Heh.”
* As he started mumbling to himself you looked around, seeing everyone getting up and leaving the park you sighed and stood up as well.
* Seeing you stand up, Izuku jumped up as well. As you both gathered your belongings off the ground you went to grab the sheet you had laid on the ground, Only to feel izukus hand grasp yours.
* “AH S-Sorry!” As he pulled his hand away you laughed. “Izuku it’s fine!” Hearing him let out a soft sigh he grabs the sheet and folds it up for you. Handing it to you he sends you a small smile.
* “I can walk you home if you’d like (Y/N). If not though it’s fine! I’d just be worried about you if you walked home this late ...”
* Hearing his worried tone has your heart flutter in your chest. Smiling at him you put the sheet away in your bag and extend your arm to him.
* “Id hate to walk home alone, i need a strong hero to protect me! ... Mind being my hero?” You ask him with a heavy blush adorning your cheeks.
* Seeing him look at you with those beautiful eyes of his, you see a grin spread across his face. One you didn’t know you needed to see, his grin was one of pure happiness. It felt like the only light you could see at that moment was the light Radiating off of him.
* “Of course! I’ll be your hero (Y/N)! I-I wouldn’t have it any other way to be h-honest.”
* As he took your arm in his you both set off to your house.
* His words really sat with you the entire walk home though.
* Without really realizing the time that flew by, you both had already made it to your home.
* “I had an a-amazing time tonight (Y/N) ... I-I hope we can do it again sometime!” He looks to you with that smile you adored.
* Giggling you reply with a smile on your lips. “Thank you for being my Hero and walking me home Izuku.” Reaching a hand into your bag you pull out your keys and begin to unlock your door.
* “Hey! (Y/N) ... would it be okay if I asked you something, before I left?” Hearing his request you feel a look of confusion cross over your face.
* Turning around you reply, “Yea, W-What is-“ before you could finish your sentence you felt a pair of lips connect with your own.
* Your eyes staring at the tufts of green hair abstracting your vision, you realize what was going on.
* Before you can reciprocate and kiss back he pulls away, his expression one of regret and fear.
* “I-God I’m s-sorry I just. I’m sorry! I shouldn’t h-have done that (Y/N). I’m s-“
* Feeling your body move on its own, you slam your lips into his. You feel him stiffen at your actions, for only seconds later to feel his hands glide across your waist. One hand resting on your hip to press you closer to his body, the other one flew to the back of your neck.
* His lips were incredibly soft, softer than you had originally thought. His hands were calloused and rough, but still held a soft feeling to them. If that’s even possible.
* Before the kiss could get heated, You both pulled away. Pressing your forehead against his chest you smile into his shirt.
* “W-wow...(y-(y/n) I ... I um. Wow.”
* As your smile widened, you pull away and look at him with a nervous look.
* “That was amazing and all but ... w-what was your question?”
* As he stiffens you hear him chuckle nervously.
* “W-well I-I was wondering if y-you’d like to g-go out and do something a-another time? Maybe a-as a date? Or as my ... uh g-girlfriend...”
* Hearing the last bit of his question has you stiffen in his arms. Your heart beating wildly in your chest, thinking over it you feel another smile spread across your face.
* Wrapping your arms around his neck you nuzzle into his shirt, letting out muffled laughs and doing so you also answer his questions with a muffled yes.
* Hearing this, Izuku can’t help but tighten his arms around you and spin you around, smiling and rubbing his cheek against your hair.
* “THANK YOU! Thank you so much!” He says with the happiest tone lacing his words.
* Falling for this green haired dork was an adventure and a half, and you loved every second of it.
* You loved him. Just as much as he loved you.
======
I hope this is good enough!!!
I actually really loved writing this!!

for the villain mic au now i can't stop imagining something similar happening to them as what happens between catra and adora in one of the later episodes of she-ra. w/o spoilers they are both trapped together(in this au it can be in their mind) and are forced to watch their memories play out/while at the same time half reliving them. they don't get to choose the memories they just have to watch. SO MUCH angst potential for that. mic seeing shota being bullied shota seeing mic be muzzled SO MUCH
Tumblr media
Oh my god�� Anon, you have no idea how much I love mind bullshit - ESPECIALLY when it comes to things like memories and past trauma! I don’t watch She-Ra, but I know a tasty trope when I see one! 
Of course they would get hit by a quirk, especially in the later half of the story when Mic’s becoming more vigilante than villain, and of course both these idiots have a hero complex so they try to save each other. The villain’s quirk probably forces one’s body to shut down relieve their memories, but when two people get tagged at the same time, then they end up sharing a dream link that ends with both people seeing their own memories and the memories of another. Think how good a quirk that would’ve been for couple’s counseling! 
So now the two are in the hospital, which they’re unaware of, and trapped in a black space where they can only find each other. They’re not in their hero costumes, either. They’re dressed as their truest expression of self - for Aizawa this would be comfortable black clothing with his binding cloth around his neck. After so many years of having that cloth next to him, you can’t tell me that he doesn’t wear that thing at home and forget it’s there sometimes. 
Mic, though… Mic would be Yamada Hizashi. For Villain!Mic his truest expression would be clothes that are too big and too soft, clunky glasses that never seem to stay on right, a pair of headphones because what if what if what if and hair that’s only just half pulled back - he needs to hide his hearing aids, after all. If Aizawa didn’t know who his barista was by now, this helps him figure it out. 
After a very angst-filled conversation about cat muffins and “You’ve been in front of me this whole time?!” the two sees distant lights in the background and, well, might as well try to figure out where they are, right?
Cue the memories. I see them walking through a black background with only the lightest traces of some sort of road that they’re following, balls of light passing by them. Each one that bumps up against them throws them into a memory. They’re randomized - how could they not be? One mind full of memories is a lot, but two? Things are bound to get mixed up.
They see Aizawa Shota winning his first year sports festival, standing tall and proud as he’s told he’ll be pushed up into the U.A. hero course. 
They see Yamada Hizashi living on the streets when he’s sixteen because no one wanted him and where else was he supposed to go?
They see Eraserhead being rushed to the hospital, the Nomu leaving scars that are still healing - that will always be healing. 
They see a quiet Hizashi curled up in his apartment, holding his cat close and mumbling about how he had forgotten how to smile.
They see a loud Shota laughing with friends at a bar after finally, finally, finally being dragged out. 
Birthdays, and Christmases, and schoolyard brawls, and love, and hate, and every little thing in between - these two see glimpses of it all, and then… 
Hizashi sees a young Shota bullied and hated for his quirk. Why wouldn’t he be? No one likes the idea of not being special. No one likes the idea of being made quirkless. 
The memory fades and the two are left as they are, bruises long since forgotten and healed, and Shota is ready to tell him that, but instead he looks to see Hizashi is crying, hands covering his mouth. He can only mumble, so quietly, “You were like me.” 
Another ball of light comes speeding towards them and crashes right into Shota as if it had been trying to find him. They’re rocketed into a memory and this time Hizashi is crying for more reasons than one, hands over his mouth as he tries to be absolutely silent. Shota doesn’t get to ask what’s wrong before he finds out.
A young Hizashi, no younger than five, but no older than seven, is crying and sobbing and slipping with his quirk no matter how much he tries to stop it. When it finally does stop, a device is fitted around his face. It takes a moment for Shota to realize what it is because he cannot, no matter how hard he tries, figure out how anyone could justify forcing a child to wear a muzzle. 
The adult Hizashi beside him is utterly still and silent, as if afraid to make any type of noise. The child in front of him is the same. The woman - no, the villain - in front of them is cooing softly and there we go. All nice and silent. Isn’t that better, Hizashi?
The memory ends as soon as it began and there’s nothing but absolute silence between the two of them. 
Then, slowly, so, so, so slowly, Shota pulls Hizashi’s hands away from his mouth, holding tight when the man tries to jerk them away and it’s okay. He tells him that it’s okay. He can scream and cry as much as he wants. 
But what if he hurts someone?
He won’t. Shota will make sure of it.
Promise?
Promise. 
Goddammit now I have another story to write for this AU.

Hi lovely! If you're taking requests, would you mind doing a Spider-Man fic where Peter gets really sick at school and for some reason aunt may can't come so tony comes to take him back to the tower and takes care of him?? Thank you so much!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Combined because of similarity!! and also wanted to play with different ideas bc lets be real a lot of my spiderman stuff are repetitive!! And also emeto warning later in the fic!)
There’s nothing Aunt May hates more than leaving Peter.
She’s a tough lady, Peter knows this, and she will never admit this, but Aunt May is afraid of leaving him. Peter doesn’t blame her.
She has dealt with loss far too many times. A person with that kind of a heart does not deserve that turmoil. She’s a beautiful woman, and Peter admires her, and he will do anything to keep her happy. He tries to be safe for her, although duty calls, but in the hardest of battles he thinks of her to stay alive.
So when Aunt May was called to do an important business trip down in LA, she was frantic. She had spent the past weeks trying to figure out where Peter should stay, what foods she should leave behind, running over everything with Peter, how much money she should leave, and so on and so forth. Peter admired how much she cared, but all of this wasn’t necessary.
To top it off, Peter had started to develop a bit of a cold. At the time it had been the slightest of coughs, and a bit of a sniffle here and there, but it was enough to send the poor woman into hysterics.
The only thing that eased her troubled mind in the end was Tony Stark’s offer to keep Peter for the week she was gone. It was only then she was able to relax, knowing Peter was in good hands. She had apologised, softly reminding Peter how he was all she had. Peter understood, he really did. He would keep him safe as much as he could. But crime did not wait. The world just kept going and he couldn’t just sit there and do nothing. He wasn’t any better than the bad guys if he did.
In an attempt to cheer Peter up from his light cold and fearing that Peter would feel a little homesick and miss Aunt May, Tony decided to do a thing that only encouraged Peter to get out there even more.
On the Sunday, Peter was busying himself rewatching Blade Runner when he heard a weird whooshing noise and a frustrated hiss, followed by a curse.
“For fucks sake, Vision, what’d we say about the walls?!” A man said exasperatedly.
“My sincerest apologies, that notion appears to continuously escape from me. I must enforce this a lot stricter,” An English man said.
“Clint, give him a break. I’m sure he will get it,” A female said softly.
Peter tensed slightly at the realisation, exhilaration tingling in his body in anticipation. He whipped around and a small gasp was forced out of him, eyes twinkling in delight when he saw what he saw.
Before him was The Scarlet With, Hawkeye and the Vision, and they were so fucking cool.
“Oh my gosh, this is so cool!” Peter exclaimed, bouncing off of his seat in excitement.
Wanda smiled at him fondly, “I mean, I would not quite say these two are cool, but I would say so for myself. Not these two.”
Clint gave him a grin, “You’re pretty cool, kid. You really impressed back in Berlin, I mean, we hated you because you weren’t on the right side, but you were really fucking cool. But hey, we like you now!”
The Vision nodded, “I do agree. You did display some rather exemplary skills in the battlefield.”
Peter went bright red, and his time it wasn’t from his endless coughing or slight fever, he felt unbelievably touched and inspired.
“A-awh, no..I..I wasn’t that great,” Peter said bashfully, scratching the back of his neck.
“You know, it’s nice and refreshing to have a young guy on the team. It’s like hope, you know? Knowing that justice will still be served even when we grow old and weary. You’re the next generation of super heroes, and my heart feels a little more at ease,” Clint smiled softly.
Peter’s heart swelled, “P-part o-of the team?”
He wasn’t sure if the croak in his voice was from shock or from his cold.
“Of course, Peter. You’re one of us now, and I’m looking forward to working with you!” Wanda beamed.
“Of course, when Mr Stark allows you. He is very fond and protective of you, it seems, and you will need a little more experience but with after you have acquired that you will surely be a full fledged member of the team,” The Vision said warmly.
“W-wow, I don’t want to sa–” Peter choked, both from overwhelming emotion, and also from a cough that began to strangle his throat and forced out a harsh cough that escalated into numerous, harsh and chesty coughs that had him flushing red with embarrassment and doubling over by sheer force.
Tony sighed fondly, and managed a little smile before approaching the boy and wrapping an arm around his shoulders, patting him on the shoulder, “Alright, that’s enough for today. You guys can go off and be losers, while both of us can do our cool thing, yeah?”
Peter managed a shaky smile, “Yeah, definitely.”
And he definitely would.
This whole thing gave Peter this sudden surge of energy and motivation, this itch that wouldn’t stop burning in him that yearned to serve justice. He couldn’t just sit around and rest, the whole world did not work that way. He had to stand and fight, and he had to do it for the avengers.
Some sickness wasn’t going to stop him. Definitely not now.
“Hey Mr Stark? Are you cool with me going over to Ned’s for our project?” Peter asked, a slightly raspy grit to his voice as he slung his backpack over his shoulder. He smothered an itchy series of coughs against his shoulder in irritation.
Tony reemerge from the kitchen, a frown plastered onto his face, “What? Are you sure you should be working like this?”
He shuffled up to Peter and placed the back of his hand against Peter’s forehead, frowning, “You’re a little warm, Peter..and you’re still pretty sick..”
Peter shot him a reassuring smile, “I’ll be just fine, Mr Stark..Mr Callahan will kill me if we don’t have this project finished!”
Tony looked worried, “O-okay. Here, I’ll give you a ride..”
“No!” Peter said a little too quickly.
“U-uh, I mean..I’ve been really wanting some fresh air..” Peter tried hopelessly, lifting his fist to his face as he began to cough forcefully. It left him feeling a little nauseous.
Tony’s worry only elevated, “Pete..What if you get worse? I don’t want you to get sicker than you already are!”
Peter offered him a soft smile, “I really appreciate your concern..but I’m fine. I think you’re worrying a bit too much. Take a breather.”
Tony sighed, “Okay. You’re right. Go ahead.”
Peter turned around with a grin, only for Tony to yell out a “Wait!” He whipped around in confusion.
Tony rushed towards the hallway and thrust a thick warm coat and a woolly scarf into Peter’s arms, which he barely caught, “Wear these, okay?”
Peter chuckled fondly, “Okay.”
The cold wind left his body in shivers, his teeth chattering as he walked through the bitterly cold air. Peter groaned as he threw on the suit in an alleyway, the harsh cold winds piercing into his skin and causing him to tremble. He let out a hacking cough, doubled over by the sheer force and spluttered, grabbing onto a garbage can to maintain his balance. He had coughed so violently he felt a bit sick at that.
Once he finished his fit, he leaned against the damp, cold stone walls to try and catch his breath, recover from his fit as his chest heaved. He closed his eyes to block out any other stimulus that could potentially worsen his state. Peter felt awfully dizzy, way too warm, horribly woozy in the worst possible way. He felt a wave of nausea hit his stomach, shortly followed by a splitting headache that had deathly tremors that radiated from its epicentre.
Peter felt so awful that his entire body was telling him to stop. To go home.
But his heart was thinking of justice. And how if he didn’t patrol tonight’s someone’s father, or mother, husband, wife, brother, sister..doesn’t matter, somebody could potentially not come home.
That was enough to keep him going.
So Peter shot up his web slinger towards a building, and he swung from building to building, passion burning in his heart. He scanned the land below him, searching and keeping guard. He’d make sure everyone was safe.
It was like that for the next 10 minutes, him swinging from building to building to scan the area. Peter didn’t realise how fast he was going until suddenly the world began to spin and tilt and move. And his stomach cramped and a tidal wave of nausea hit him hard and suddenly his web slinger broke off from the last building and he was falling. He felt scarily light.
Peter skidded across the top floor of an apartment block, his skin scraping against the gravel. He let out a groan as he felt the burning sensation of pain on his skin, but he couldn’t think of the pain for long because his stomach cramped painfully. Peter gagged and ran towards a trash can that was oddly kept on the top floor of this building, yanking his mask off and hurled into it. His stomach contracted and heaved as he puked into the bin, and spluttered when he was finished.
Peter collapsed against the floor, defeated. He held his pounding head in his hands as it spun rapidly at an alarming rate. He could hear the beating of his heart as he gasped for air, feeling awfully lighthearted and pathetic. Peter felt so weak like this. So useless.
He shivered violently with his rampaging fever, feeling his hands turn to ice and they shook. He felt so fevered and sick. He just wanted to go home and curl into bed. He felt utterly miserable.
Peter had started to wonder why he had even bothered in the first place, beginning to lose himself into this spiralling vortex of dark thoughts and self loathing when suddenly he heard the loud clicking of heels against the pavement, in a hurried, rapid pace.
Peter perked up in alarm, rushing towards the edge of the building so he could see what was going on. Down, he saw a woman hurriedly walk down the street in her club outfit that Peter thought was very nice and flattering on her. He smiled softly, but it was quickly wiped off his face when he saw a small group of drunk, bumbling men trailing after her yelling out horrible slurs.
Peter frowned, descending slightly and sitting down on one of the apartment’s balconies. This woman seemed able to protect herself, so Peter would let her, but he’d be there just in case. Once the men caught sight of him, they began to back off. Peter’s heart melted as the woman looked up at him with a grateful smile. She quickly unlocked the door to her apartment and disappeared into it.
It was then Peter remembered why he did this.
Peter weakly opened the door to the living room, smothering a weak cough against his shoulder when Tony sprang up from his chair and rushed towards him.
“Oh god! Peter! You’re okay..” Tony said breathlessly, a shaky timbre to his voice. His hair was a mess, a little paler, and he looked clearly very shaken up. Peter felt extremely guilty that he had done this to him.
Quickly Tony turned angrier, “Do you know what time it is?! Way past ‘doing a project with Ned’, definitely! Why didn’t you even send a text? Do you know the world you’re living in, Peter?! The world I live in?!”
“Tony–” Peter tried.
“Peter, this world has taken so many people I love!” Tony shouted, before suddenly his face fell and he deflated. He looked so much older. So tired. He sunk against his chair.
“..I don’t want the same to happen to you,” Tony whispered bitterly.
Peter stood shocked, not knowing what to say. He looked around as if his surroundings would give him an answer. Peter sighed eventually, kneeling down on the floor and taking Tony’s hands, so they wouldnt shake.
“I’m so sorry Mr Stark..I didn’t want to worry you..It’s just–my phone ran out of battery and Ned and I–”
“For fuck’s sake, Pete–you went on the patrol. Say it. Don’t lie to me. I hate bullshit.”
Peter gulped, “Y-yeah. Sorry. I did…I’m so sorry. I didn’t want to worry you–it’s just..seeing Hawkeye and the Vision and–”
Tony sighed tiredly, “I know. Peter, you’re a great kid. You don’t have to go proving it all the time. We know.”
Tony cupped his face anxiously, as if to try and reassure himself Peter was still here. He frowned.
“You’re even worse. Go to bed, Pete. Get some sleep and rest. I don’t want you going to school tomorrow.”
Peter sighed and nodded, hating that he was going to break another promise. But Señor Zapanta was going to have his head if he wasn’t there for the test tomorrow.
“Good night Mr Stark,” Peter called out softly as he began to retreat into his bedroom.
“Good night, kiddo,” Tony said quietly, deflated.
Peter gulped as the guilt in his heart intensified, and he went to bed uneasily knowing Tony sat there in the living room like that. And that Peter did this to him.
Peter had left a note for Tony that morning saying he felt a lot better.
He hated lying to him twice, but Peter couldn’t miss school. Jokes on him, karma was a bitch.
All the buses to school were full that morning. And the gases and smoke the cars emitted made Peter cough so much that Peter wanted to vomit then and there. He would’ve if it wasn’t for the literal sea of people at the bus stop. He had waited for a good hour waiting for a bus to actually stop, and when he finally did it was ridiculously packed and full of strange and overpowering odours. It was the most agonising bus experience of his entire life, and Peter felt so nauseous and faint he wanted to crawl up on the floor and cry.
Peter eventually made it to school, 5 minutes before Spanish started. Once he got off the bus he was hit by a huge wave of sickness, and wooziness. He felt incredibly dizzy, stumbling as he walked in zig zag formations. Peter managed to get himself inside the school, when suddenly his stomach cramped and he sprinted towards the closest bathroom. He yanked the doors open and collapsed against a toilet and threw up again, heaving. His stomach hurt from how much he was puking.
Peter doesn’t even remember what happened next, because he’s not quite sure if he even had control of his body. He felt so disconnected from himself and like he was walking aimlessly through this feverish haze. Everything seemed to be fading in and out, he could barely see or hear or feel and all he could think off was the weakness weighing down on his shoulders.
Peter faintly remembered walking into the Spanish classroom, and the horrified looks on the teacher and his classmates’ faces, and then everything seemed to go black and he felt oddly peaceful.
Peter’s not sure what happened after that, but from what Ned told him, what happens shortly after his black out Ned quickly “and totally calmly, I was so cool Peter, let me tell you” phoned Tony to come collect him.
Señor Zapanta carried him over to the nurse’s office which Ned says was very cool and very “Die Hard” esque. Peter disagrees, but Ned’s entitled to that opinion. What happened next, Ned says, was the coolest thing.
So Tony stomped into school like it was nobody’s business, suit and all, walking straight through the sea of gawking, star struck teenagers (particularly Flash–apparently he had to visit the nurse shortly after he passed out) to get straight to Peter. Because that was all that mattered to him.
Peter wished he could have seen that, but he only remembers what happened after Tony’s big catwalk.
Peter remembered waking up to a bright light, and Tony’s concerned face sitting down next to him in some chair.
“M..Mr Stark..?”
Tony’s face instantly broke it’s worried state and fell into a relieved one, allowing in one huge breath with relief, “Oh thank god, Peter!”
Peter had a sudden dose of deja vu when Tony’s happy face contorted into an angry one, just like it had last night.
“I told you not to go to school last night, Peter! What was the point of Aunt May leaving you with me if I can’t even get you to listen?! What’s going on, Peter?! Why can’t you just follow instructions? You had me worried sick this morning, and when your friend called me saying you passed out?! You have no clue what that does to a man, Peter!” Tony scolded.
Upon seeing the guilty, sad, almost frightened look on Peter’s Tony sighed, sinking back into his chair and pinching the bridge of his nose with a heavy sigh.
“Did nothing I say to you last night mean anything? Huh? What the hell was that about? I spill my guts out to you and you go on and do the thing I literally said brings me into panic attacks?” Tony said quietly, deflated.
Tears pricked Peter’s eyes and his lip trembled, feeling immensely guilty and wondering why he was the way he was. He hated that he was like this.
“I-I’m sorry,” Peter managed, feeling a mental block stopping him. But looking into Tony’s sad, tired eyes set him free, “..I guess..I’m not used to other people caring for me this much..I’ve only ever had Aunt May, Ned…”
He trailed off, biting his lip.
“..and Uncle Ben…” Peter whispered, voice cracking, “..and he’s gone now.”
“I-I don’t know M-Mr Stark. I think I’m scared. I…”
Peter smiled shakily, “I’m scared of losing you too.”
Tony’s heart broke, “O-oh Pete..”
Tony went in for a hug and cradled Peter like that, trying his best to fill Peter with as much love and care his heart could possibly muster.
“..I’m really not good at this, I’m so sorry Peter, but I’m trying,” Tony whispered.
“I know you are. And that’s not nothing, Mr Stark. It’s something. That’s all I’ve ever asked for,” Peter whispered lovingly, soaking in the warmth of his embrace.
Tony sniffled as a tear escaped his eye, a soft smile playing on his lips, “Lets go home.”
