[earth-1610]
gwen and miles sat on the edge of the clock tower, gazing over the city upside down. "y'know, i heard from someone that gwen stacy is spiderman's true love." she started. it made miles to steal a glance at her, wanting to know what's she's implying. "and in your universe, i bet [name] is your gwen stacy." she throws him a teasing stare.
miles chuckled, looked back to the city—eyeing a spot where her neighbourhood is located. hoping that she's doing well, smiling softly at the spot "yeah, i guess you're right."
the way miles looked talking about his significant other made gwen feel some sort of guilt in her heart. "in every other universe, gwen stacy falls for spiderman..." her eyes flattered close, many deaths of her alternate version of her selves always made her shudder, "and in every other universe, it doesn't end well."
not understanding the meaning behind her words, miles could only give her a look of sympathy, thinking she meant about her other alternative selves.
[name] read a book, as she waited for miles to come back. she told his parents to keep him company and to talk about what happened earlier at the party, which made them let her go.
the girl could only pursue her lips when she saw the room empty with the window open. seeing an orange sweater by his bed, which she had never seen before, it made her confusion even deeper. [name] figured she'll ask miles once he comes back and fold the sweater by the foot of his bed.
as the [h.color] hair girl turned her page, she heard a series of laughers from outside the window, and one of them is her boyfriend's. miles poke his head in the window, checking if his parents are around, and the white outline of his mask squint into a happy expression as he sees her. "[nickname], hey!"
she was scooped in his arms before she could even greet him back, erupting a pit of giggles from her lips. "miles!" he sat her down to his bed, letting her pull off his mask, exposing a wide grin under it as he looked at her lovingly.
"miles! you know i'm not from around here, why did you lef— oh." a familiar looking stranger is standing near his window. her arms seem to be tacked by her side. it seems like she's almost uncomfortable in the being in the room. it made [name] look at her in questioning why she looked familiar.
"uh, hi!" was all gwen can utter. it feels wrong to see her like this and not limp like what she saw, she wants to start a conversation, but don't know how; she feels a small pit of guilt and blue down to her stomach.
"[name], this is gwen, one of the other spiderpeople i told you about!" realization hits her instantly, muttering an understanding noise. a bright smile tug her lips.
"hi, i'm [name] [last name]. i knew i've seen you before. it's nice to finally meet you!" thrusting a hand, gwen shook it as she took her mask off. the gap in her teeth is seen as a timid smile plastered in her features.
"nice to meet you too! have we met before?" she asked, thinking a reason why [name] said she looked familiar.
"can i tell her about the sketchbook?" the girl whispered to miles, smiling sheepishly at her boyfriend, yet gwen heard every word. she found it adorable how sweet they interacted, the horrible feeling is coming back once again.
"sure, she already saw it, though." gwen snorted at miles' words, thinking back how he tried to take the sketchbook from her. her look soften as [name]'s beam get wider, and took gwen's sweater from the bed and gave it to her.
she hook her arms with spiderwoman as they walked to the living room, chatting away. happy to have a female friend to be with.
"i knew you look familiar, i saw you once at his drawings. he really misses you guys, y'know." [name]'s muffled voice can be heard through the walls. th
"yeah, i missed him too. speaking of his drawings, i saw a lot of your face in there," miles could only shake his head at them as he put on his jacket, a smile is present.
unknown to what gwen is truly feeling at the moment.
[spider-society]
"[name] is my gwen stacy." miles repeated the phrase from hours ago, as he looked at gwen. betrayal is seen in his features, that made spiderwoman turn away from his eyes. "you knew about this."
it feels like the world is crumbling as he learned his girlfriend's death. falling to her death in three days, worst of it he saw it— he saw it in a vison spot gave him. witnessing her body go limp made his body lost its soul.
and knowing that gwen knew about it and she acted like nothing is wrong when she and [name] interact, made him feel almost sick.
"miles, i tried to tell you.." gwen's voice trailed as miles turn away from her, a lump build in her throat. gwen feels disappointed to herself when she didn't have the courage to tell him let alone, her. as the two girls talk, the gloomy feeling is started to consume her more and more. "i know you wanted to want to save her, i do too! but—"
"but it's her fate." miguel interrupted, hands on his hips as he gave miles a blank stare, "you can't mess up what's the universe has set for her."
no. miles can't have that, he needs to go home. now.
[spot's ambush]
everything was out of control, ever since he came back to his world.
civilians panicking, scattered around to find shelter; a safe place to avoid the chaos. other spiders did their very best to keep them safe while some fought for the fate of the universe. spot is destroying earth-1610. his home.
he spent too much time in earth-42, it feels like he's running out of time.
everything was a blur, high pitch rang in his ear as he particularly searched high and low for her. for [name]. panic is starting to bubble up, it's slowly eating him up.
"miles!" faint voice in the crowd is heard, he search for it spinning in circles before his eyes caught sight of her. "miles!" her hands are stretching out reaching for him as she run towards his direction.
[name] almost lost her footing as miles dives into her, embracing her real to him, mumbling something in a relief voice she doesn't seem to catch. she hugged up just as much, kissing the side of his mask.
"are you— are you okay? y'alright? p-please tell me you're alright—!" miles blurbs out, stuttering over his sentences. his eyes was swift as he scan all over her body, she have few small scratches that he should be treating to not get infected. he's too paranoid to think straight.
"miles!" she called out again, the warmness of her palm made him realised she cup his cheeks to make him look at her. "i'm okay! I'm doing just fine. are you alright? oh, baby... " it was the same [e.color] eyes that he swore he could get loss in every single time.
[name] craddle him in worry, he have a huge gash on his shoulder, his suit is ruin, blood is spilling from his wounds. "we need to get out of here," she starting pulling his arm with her, guiding him to the a much safer area.
"no, mi vida." miles stayed in his position, making his girl spun to him in worry, "you have to get out of here. gwen is with mom and dad, if peter or hobie fin9pld you in the crowd they'll take you with th—"
"what about you?" she breaths heavily, "i can't leave you, the other spiders can handle it, you need to be patch up." [name] knew reasoning with him won't change his mind about fighting, but his next answer wasn't what she expected.
"he's here for me. for you." he blurbs out, hold her firmly by her arms. panic is still present to both of their bodies. "we're the one he's after and i can't—" he paused, white like eyes on his mask widening in alert.
"mile—" he pushed her behind him, arms out ready to fight. her hands gall to his shoulders.
"oh would look at that." a new voice called out, a black figure floats from the ground, hovering over them. white spots are all over his body, it seems to be glitching. portals opening and closing behind him. "that's real sweet." the figure commented, pointing a finger on the two.
"what is that?" [name] thought out loud, she'd seen mutants before in the news that spiderman capture, but this one. she never seen anything like it, or figure out what it is.
the figure snap its head to look at her. that one big white circle in his face is moving. it feels like her soul is being sucked in.
"what am i?" he taunts, tilting his head at them. it feels like the world as stopped, as the villian focus on the two. "well, let me tell you."
the black figure hovers forward to them, miles backing up, causing the villain to make a portal on the ground to stop them. [name] squeal as she almost lost balance.
the portal shows the top of the clock tower, the tower that is all familiar to miles. the one where he hang out with gwen upside down.
"i'm the one who spiderman thinks a joke," his head glitched, ticking into its place. drawing more and closer to the couple. "i'm gonna show you i'm no joke." the figure thrust his hand forward, attempting to grab [name], but miles was quick to move a punch. too angry to think the spot can lay a single finger on his girl.
sadly, the villain caught up to him and made a portal to in his face. miles punched himself that was hard enough to made him feel a concussion coming.
he punch too hard thinking that the fist wasn't for him. miles lose his balance, leaning into [name] a bit — big mistake.
"wait no, no, no, no!" [name] lose a footing as his weight drops on her chest a bit, she screams as she falls from the sky to the top of the building. she hugged miles tighter into her.
her scream causes miles to snap out of his pain, he was quick to shoot a web by the side of the tower. panting as he held the two of them two together.
"are you okay? you got scratched or anything, tesoro?" her arms are wrapped around his neck as her legs clang by his waist, mimicking a koala. his arm have a dense grip by her waist, their forehead rest on the other. [treasure]
"i'm alright, what about you?" she caressing the side of his neck, looking at him with scared and worried stare.
miles only sighed, peaking her forehead through his mask, he did his best to climb up till they're the top. letting her rest for a bit, calming her down.
yet, it was the calm before the storm. spot once again appeared before them. to make matters worse, the sky was getting darker and darker. "i'm the spot. and i'm your mortal enemy, spiderman." spot started, [name] can feel her heart dropping deeper as the black figure getting closer and closer to them.
"look, man. the collider did this to you, i didn't make you like this!" miles desperately tried to explain, getting infront of [name] shielding her from the villain. "and she has nothing to do with this!"
"i know." spot paused, looking almost expressionless. "but every villain has to take away one of the heroes' loved ones, and i happen to get her first."
a bus appeared in front of them, almost crashing the two. miles swift swept her off her feet, climbing to the top of the tower. the glass roof made her feel a little nauseous by how deep the bottom looked from up there. "i need to get you out of here," miles muttered to her, he was look all over the place. his senses are highten up, so much so that he can hear her loud and fast heart rate.
a mail box was dropped from the top of the two, spiderman easily dart it as it was aimed badly at them.
but to his horror, he saw the glass beneath [name] cracked and let her fall inside the tower with a bloody murdered scream. "no!" miles exclaimed.
"oh, there she goes." spot said, witnessing the scene from below him.
miles dived to the hole, his eyes fixed on her and only her. he expertly dogde the portals spot made for him in order to not save her. words of miguel and the others rang in his head as his eyes only meet hers, and nothing else.
"[name] is your gwen stacy." did the other spidermans experience this too? too late to save her. living while the guilt and burden lie heavily in their chest.
"its her fate." is there nothing he can do? he can possibly do? he wants to live his life it her. he doesn't want to end it like this. no, please. please.
glass shard was falling with them as well. her arms were stretched to reach him. it feels like everything was in slow motion. her life flashes right through her eyes; and worst of it, miles can see it as well. she doesn't know how long she's been falling. she hates how she's gonna die, just like this.
their hands touched.
even when it was only a millisecond, miles already have an iron grip on her hand hard and shot a web by one of the flatforms inside the tower. her feet only inches from the ground.
the couple feel water works burst in their eyes, too relief about their miracle. "i got you, it's okay, you're okay. you're okay, amor." miles chanted as he pulled her up to him.
her hand landed on his chest, briefly feeling his rapid heart and embracing him tightly. she was at her final point that she cried in his neck, scared about her life just a second ago.
she cried, thinking that was her final moments with life and she'll never see him again.
she cried, relieved that she's with him. alive. and being craddle in his arms.
miles gently landed at the bottom of the clock tower, he have her envelope in his arms. he took off his mask as he couldn't calm his own breath. he feels his legs give up and kneel on the ground with her still in close to him.
she's not letting go. and neither does he.
"i thought i was gonna die..." she sobbed, her shoulders shudder as a hiccup coming up her throat.
me too... he thought. miles gave her head a peak, "i got you, tesoro. i got you." [treasure]

Hair: Chapter 6
Stars Pt. 3
Peter/Michelle
Rated M for language
Wow, this has been crazy guys! I would not have continued this story without your love and support. This chapter is dedicated to everyone who pushed me to continue a story I lost track of. I really can’t express how grateful I am to everyone who has read Hair....So without further ado, I’d like to thank my amazing beta @you-guys--are-losers who has been with me from the start and is always my amazing friend. 
Now I want to present, after a long hiatus, the next chapter of Hair!
________________________________________________________________
Michelle flipped over another page of her book. The slight whispering of the page was the only sound in her room besides a small electric fan beside her. She’d managed to get halfway through Things Fall Apart in a few short hours. The intricacies of African culture pulled her into the pages early on. Sitting on crumpled white sheets atop her bed, head resting against the coarse brick exterior wall in her room, Michelle flipped over another page. With eyes flying across the pages, she thought about how much of African culture has been destroyed. The title indeed fit the book; things do fall apart, often, it would seem.
Dog-earing her page, Michelle took a sip of her long-forgotten tea. It was cold and bitter on her lips. Abandoned when she sunk into her book. Michelle made a note to make a new cup. When she picked the book up again, her eyes started tracing back over the pages until her phone vibrated against her leg. Placing her book down again, she used her good hand to pick up her phone. The message was from Peter.
Peter Parker (8:57 pm): can i come over?
Embers ran down her throat, stoking the small fire in her chest. The fire pulsed, each beat larger than the next. It echoed in the battered knuckles of her fist.
Michelle left Peter standing in the abandoned physics classroom this morning. Unable to release any words or explanations, she merely retreated to safety. Safety she found with a book in her hands, tucked away in her bedroom, and wishing she could disguise herself in a flash of sarcastic remarks and cool stares.
Michelle pored over the text a few times, her mind spinning. She didn’t know how to reply. If he just wanted to assault her with more questions, she’d rather sink further into her book.
You (9:01 pm): if you’re looking for your hobbit box set i didn’t take it because the movies sucked and the book was better.
Peter Parker (9:02 pm): what? no…i haven’t even mentioned that to you how the hell do you know about it
You (9:02 pm): I’m omniscient, Parker, I know all.
Peter Parker (9:03 pm): then youd know why i’m coming over. which would suck since it’s a surprise…
She stared down at her phone. Michelle wasn’t sure what Peter’s angle was. After a few minutes without her reply, another message popped up.
Peter Parker (9:06 pm): soooo…can I come over? promise not to annoy you
Grunting, Michelle tucked her legs closer to her body. Her interest had piqued. Besides, she thought, maybe it would be a good opportunity to shrink the gap expanding between them. Glancing out her window at the inky sky, Michelle decided on a reply that was neither an invitation nor denial.
You (9:08 pm): You annoy me regardless.
Peter Parker (9:08 pm): i’ll take that as a yes?
You (9:09 pm): Shut up and just come over, loser.
Peter Parker (9:10 pm): thank you! youre not gonna regret it!
Peter Parker (9:10 pm): be right there :)
Michelle glared down at her screen blaring harsh blue light back at her. She had no idea what Peter was planning, and she was frankly starting to wonder if she wanted to.
It would take him a few minutes to get to her house if May drove him, but he could easily walk, which could take as long as fifteen minutes. Michelle flopped back onto her bed, resisting the urge to go fix her hair, or change out of her pajamas. Peter had seen her at her literal worst, and if he hadn’t been chased away by now, a few snarls in her hair and some tattered pajamas wouldn’t make a difference. Besides, she wouldn’t try to make herself look nice for Ned, so why should she do it for Peter?
The thought of prom popped into her head. She clucked at the thought, telling herself that was different. If she wanted to get made up for prom she damn well could, because she wanted to. But right now, she didn’t give a shit. Maybe a little less than a shit, but still it wasn’t enough to make her do more than smooth out her pajama pants and throw on a hoodie to hide her braless chest.
Michelle was running her fingers through some of her worst snarls of hair when she heard a tap on the window, right beside her ear.
She wasn’t one to frighten easily, but she catapulted away from the window, her nerves buzzing.
Michelle’s apartment was on the fifth floor of her building, so getting random taps on her window was abnormal. A bird once flew into her window, but that had the sound of a sickening smack, very different from light tapping. She attempted to calm the rushing pressure pounding in her skull while she tried to see what had caused the noise. Her reading lamp cast only crude shadows outside. Whatever tapped her window was hanging upside down on the opposite side of the glass. It was too massive to be a bird.
Giant eyes glinted in the light of her lamp. The body looked blood-red. “What the fu—” More tapping. It pressed its face against the glass and that was when Michelle realized what it was. Or who.
It was none-other than Spider-Man. She had a hunch why Queen's resident superhero was currently tapping on her window. It was a suspicion she had for a while, but all she ever had in support was circumstantial evidence.
Spider-Man tapped again. It sounded like a finger tapping on a terrarium. Unsettling. Flipping upright, Spider-Man looked at her properly. “Is there a reason why you're tapping on my window?” She spoke loud enough that it would carry through the glass. Standing, she placed distance between herself and the window.
“MJ, it’s me.”
She stopped on her toes, tilting towards the muffled words a fraction. Her balance tipped, forcing her to take a step forward. Michelle’s knee knocked against her mattress. It buckled and gave way until she was back on her sheets.
The eyes on Spider-Man’s suit twitched. Something floated down her spine, exploding into a barrage of light and fire that took hold of her like flames on flash paper. Michelle felt it take over her the same way the reveal at the end of a book took hold of her system. It clicked and everything crashed into place. “Holy shit. I knew it!” Michelle yanked open her window, letting the masked hero slide into her room. His arm brushed against her as he smoothly bounced from her bed onto the floor. He pulled the mask from his head.
Under the mask, Peter Parker emerged. His hair stuck about at odd angles and his cheeks were flushed the slightest color of pink. Michelle hated to think it, but he looked damn good in that skin-tight suit. She sighed, looking away from him to take another chilling sip of her tea.
Trying to seem unaffected by his silent stare was harder than usual.
“So, you’re the one that’s been swinging around in pajamas.” Another sip. It was uncomfortable going down, cooling the flames licking at her ribs. Michelle focused on the smooth ceramic of the mug in her hands instead. “I can’t say I’m surprised.”
Peter fiddled with the mask in his hands, tugging the fabric between his thumb and forefinger. “I, uh—I’ve been thinking about telling you for a long time, but I just couldn’t bring myself to. I don’t really know why.” Peter looked down. “But now—”
The air between them swelled, wrapping suffocating hands around Michelle’s neck. Why would he be telling her this now? There was a devastating realization that maybe Peter thought this would get her to open up. Now that he’s shown her his cards, he would want to see hers.
A tear was breaking through her, right through her center. She was stuck on the growing crack, wondering where she might fall.
Michelle could plummet back to familiar ground. Where she buried so many emotions it was a graveyard for every broken piece of her. She could always tip to the other side. Into woods where she could pave pathways that would deliver the words writhing inside her out of the trees, and into the light. And, there was always the third option. If she fought to keep the earth inside her from splitting open, she could collapse into a chasm she had no way of escaping.
The earth was breaking, crumbling, and she still didn’t know which way to fall.
“Why are you telling me about this now?” It was a standoff. The defining moment. She could see so much swirling in Peter’s eyes. The flutter of his lashes showed a similar rift dividing him.
Peter leveled his eyes with hers. The intensity of his gaze swallowed her, sent crackling flames slithering over her arms, up her legs. Everywhere. His gaze was hollowing her out in the best way possible. He stepped toward her, one-foot fall after another. The fire was eating away all her oxygen. Michelle couldn’t possibly breathe. The air had been licked dry of her lungs. He was right there. They were stars orbiting each other once again. As if that space between them had shrunk in only the span of a breath. “I want to show you something.”
“You already showed me something. I’d say that whole Spider-Man reveal was a pretty big something.” Michelle crossed her arms, putting distance between them, until she realized Peter wasn’t even in arms reach. He felt so much closer.
Peter chuckled. Tension diffused from his shoulders and Michelle pictured it floating away like smoke. “Yeah. Sorry I didn’t give you more of a warning. It looked like I freaked you out.”
Michelle snatched the mask from his hands, hiding her embarrassment. “What the hell are you talking about? I didn’t freak out.” She held his mask up to the light. The stitching was incredible, and its milky eyes looked like camera lenses. Michelle flipped it over to peer inside. It looked like a regular mask. What she really wanted to know was how the eyes moved—and if there was a screen or onboard dash—how it was powered. She was just about to slip her head inside when Peter lifted it from her grip.
“You kinda freaked out.” He was smiling like an idiot and Michelle snatched the mask back. She did nothing but hold it, but she felt like it proved something.
“I didn’t freak out, nerd.” She tossed the mask up in the air and caught it before Peter could take it back. Running her fingers across the glassy eyes, she remembered DC; when he’d raced up the Washington Monument. She remembered the odd urgency to his voice; how it was muffled through the fabric. News feeds flashed through her mind. She’d seen this mask millions of times, yet now it changed. Now looking at it, all she pictured was Peter with his boyish grin and understanding gaze.
When she looked up Peter’s eyes were scouring her face. She wasn’t sure what he was hoping to find written on the surface of her skin. His gaze lingered on her cheeks, the corners of her eyes, the place where her hair kissed her forehead. The way it penetrated her already fragile mask made her uncomfortable. “So,” Effectively cutting the spell between them, Michelle threw Peter’s mask back across the short distance between their bodies. He caught it with ease. “What do you want?”
“Well,” Peter said, his fingers tracing the same stitches Michelle traced moments before. She averted her eyes, somehow feeling the moment to intimate to share with him. “I got to thinking about today and—If I’m crossing a line here, you can tell me,”
“I always do, don’t I?” The banter helped keep Michelle focused on reality, instead of the soft edges of his eyes or the agile curves of his fingers.
Chuckling, Peter squeezed the mask in his hands. He twisted the fabric, ringing out non-existent water. “Yeah, you do.” He cleared his throat, expelling nerves. “But what I’m trying to get at I suppose is—well, uh. When you were talking earlier today and said you wanted to escape and stuff. It, um—it really got me thinking, basically, that maybe I could help. And you’d mentioned stargazing, and I got this idea. And I thought, maybe—I don’t know. I thought, maybe, if you wanted, I could help you escape for a few hours. No strings attached. I mean we don’t even have to talk… If you don’t want to.” After a cumbersome sentence, and the constant avoidance of any visual contact, he finally looked her in the eye once more.
She hated how endearing he was. She hated he’d managed to chip away her walls to the point the thought of keeping everything from him seemed impossible. She hated everything about him, but it was coursing through her veins in the most intoxicating, beautiful way. She wondered for a moment if that was what love felt like. God, how much she wanted to scream at his persistence, yet the warmth of his selflessness melted and filled her at the same time. Looking at him—eyes warm, a soothing balm to her fiery soul—she thought, this must be what love feels like…
“MJ,” Her name floated in his voice, into her ears. The beautiful raspy sound was alcohol to her bloodstream. It enveloped her in light-headed warmth. She couldn’t focus on anything but him. Peter deserved so much more than her. He’d found so much more than Michelle ever could be. He found it in Gwen.
Michelle blinked, breaking her of her trance.
Looking at Peter was like gazing into the sun. The threat of falling hopelessly into him terrified her. If she fell, she’d be eaten by a disastrous fire before she even reached the surface. She fell back against her bed, not trusting the slight wobble of her knees. “MJ, did you hear me?” Peter asked, advancing the smallest bit toward her.
It took every fiber of her resolve, but she forced her face back into the cool mask. “Yeah I heard you,” She leveled her gaze at him, exuding a sense of calm indifference. Still, there was a pounding in her chest that screamed for help. Michelle cleared her throat, smirking. “You want to take me to some mystery place to ‘cheer me up’.”
Peter’s mouth jumped open, ready to disagree, because since when did MJ need cheering up? But he snapped his jaw shut as soon as she smacked him with a hearty glare. A laugh brushed past his lips. “Well, yeah.” He paused. “But the thing is—well, you need it. Not to say you need me—I mean…God—I just thought maybe you’d be interested in it, and now I realize I’m being stupid. I’m really sorry. I just thought that maybe—”
His words cut off when Michelle wrapped her fingers around Peter’s wrist. She had to tell herself fire didn’t exist just so she could ignore the delightful burn under all five of her fingers. “I’m in.”
“Really, you’ll go?” His smile faltered. It was nothing more than a flicker in his eye. Michelle saw it as the nervous smile it was. “Do you—I mean—well. Is it okay if I go with you?” His gloved fingers twisted around his mask once more, twisting a knot into Michelle’s gut.
The answer came easier than it should. It came a welcome rain to the desert floor. “Yes." Shrugging, she feigned aloofness. "Besides I have no idea where it is.”
“Right.” Peter stepped up to her, his arms reaching out for her. Until they stopped. They deflated, awkward, to his sides. Words tumbled from his lips. Michelle barely managed to catch the sentence; he spoke so fast. “Um, is-is it okay to, um, pick you up? I mean, it’s just...” He paused. Raked a hand through his already mused hair. The action managed to tame most of the strands, laying them back away from his face. “Do you trust me? Because I don’t know how to explain it.” He put his hand out, an invitation. Peter’s gravity was yanking at Michelle’s stomach.
Making show, so not to focus on the heat at the tip of her ribs, Michelle slapped her hand into Peter’s palm. “What is this? Aladdin? God, you’re so dramatic.” She may have imagined the way his thumb, covered in leather and cotton, swept along the back of her hand. Michelle told herself that his index finger had no ulterior motives when it kissed the tendon on the inside of her wrist.
Peter smirked, but she caught it out of the corner of her eye before he was stepping up to her and pulling her towards the open window. “You know me. Always one for the dramatics.”
If she was thinking, a snarky retort would have slithered out past her lips. But that didn’t happen because Peter stood on the ledge of the window and dragged her closer. It knocked the breath out of her. Each step was a kick to the gut. Fear was a winding serpent, squeezing her throat closed. When Peter let her go to put on his mask, she found herself reeling a few steps back. The eyes of the mask narrowed in her direction and Peter’s head tilted to the side. “What’s wrong?”
“Is there a reason why we have to jump out of my window?”
Peter stepped back into the room, his foot making a mark on her sheets. Michelle shot him a look and he stepped back over the sill. “Well, yeah. I mean, it’s either that or walk all the way downstairs, and then just climb back up another building.”
“And why are we climbing so much?” Michelle forced her eyes to harden, masking the anxiety writhing within her.
Peter’s head tilted from side to side, deciding if he should let her in on the little surprise. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. Not with me.” Maybe he had that dorky, sweet smile beneath the mask. She would never know, but she liked to think he did. “I promise.” His voice came muffled through the mask, yet it pierced through Michelle. She swore his words rushed right through the space between her fifth and sixth ribs. They lodged somewhere in the flesh beyond. She could feel them, and if she gasped in just the right way, they pushed up against her heart.
This time she took his offered hand softer, gliding her fingers into his palm. For a moment, she couldn’t distinguish if there was fabric between their skin.
Peter pulled her up on the bed. She wasn’t wearing shoes, but she had a feeling she wouldn’t need them.
“I’m gonna wrap my arm around you, so don’t hit me or anything.”
He was taller than her for this one moment, and the way his head ducked minutely closer to her ear sent shivers down her arms. “No promises.”
The solid weight of Peter's arm drifted around her waist. Once he trailed his hands around her waist's circumstance, he latched her against his body. Firm, strong... She felt every inch of his chest along her own. Michelle’s toes lifted from the bed, skimmed the edge of her windowsill, then there was nothing but air and Peter. Her arms, which wound loose around his neck, squeezed tight enough to cause a grunt. “MJ,” Peter sounded strangled, so she forced herself to let up. “MJ,”
“What?” From the spot in Peter’s neck where she buried her face, her voice wafted into the wind.
"Choking. Not breathing." He rasped; she allowed her arms to relax until she had just a firm hold around his neck.
"Sorry."
Hearing something smacking against the wall, she dared to look around. Peter had strung up a web against the wall of her apartment. She could see small strands of it glistening in the light, leading back to Peter’s hand. She tried to disassociate with the fact she was dangling off the side of a building by stating, “That’s some crazy chemistry, Parker.”
“Yeah, I know.” Michelle felt Peter’s chuckle in her chest, felt the rush of air pass through the mask onto her neck as he leaned back against the strand. Her entire body fell against his. The solid warmth of him pushed against her chest. She was mesmerized by the way he’d exhale just as she’d inhale. It was pure harmony. Like the way the sun kissed the horizon goodbye and the moon kissed it hello.
They were at a forty-five-degree angle when Peter turned his head, his chin trailing across her forehead. “I’m gonna let go for a minute, okay?”
The delusional world of touch and sound faded away into crushing anxiety winding back around her chest. Her arms squeezed him ever tighter. “What?”
“I’m just gonna close the window. You just need to lean into me, and you’ll be fine. You know, because of gravity and all.” She swore she could feel his smirk through the mask against her right brow. “It’s basic science, MJ. I thought you’d have known that.”
She’d smack him if she wasn’t dangling five stories in the air with nothing between her and death except a teenage boy. “You’re such a dick sometimes.”
The muscles in Peter’s chest stretched as his arm strained to pull her window shut. Every detailed movement of his arm translated into Michelle.  She felt the flex and elongation of his shoulders under her arms.
“A nice dick, though.” Peter exhaled across her neck. It sparked little fires on her skin. When he inhaled it left a breathless vacuum.
It took approximately three exhales for Michelle to think up a proper thing to say. “I’m sure the girls fall all over that.” Michelle tilted her lips towards the faint outline of Peter’s ears. She brushed the fabric with each whispered word. “Hi, I’m Peter Parker and I’m a very nice dick.”
A shiver passed through Peter. He slipped a few inches, causing his body to turn ridged against Michelle’s. She felt her heart drop into the acid of her stomach. Peter yanked her impossibly closer. Her arms tightened around his neck, his pulse racing against her own. “J-Jesus, MJ. You can’t say things like that.”
Not factoring in the actuality that she could have just died, Michelle smirked against the tough fibers covering Peter’s neck. “I say things like that all the time.” She was breathless; her lungs starved of oxygen.  
The slap of her window closing delayed Peter’s retort. As he began pulling them into an upright position, he finally grunted out a response. “You know, I could let you fall right now. I have that power.” Michelle felt her body sliding down Peter's as he pulled them upright.
Gravity was daunting as Peter’s weight shifted from beneath her. “Such a charmer. You tell all the girls that?” She allowed sarcasm to soothe her.
“Shut up.”
She heaved a breathy laugh as her arms flexed around his shoulders. The more they straightened the more her feet found a perch atop his. Her back kissed the wall. Peter stuck to it as his moniker implied. He was Spider-Man after all.  Michelle would have to ask about how he stuck to flat surfaces later; because right now she could only focus on a few things at a time. At the current moment, it was the utter fear gripping her system. And then it was the way Peter’s nose bumped into her chin. She was at least three inches taller than him with her feet resting atop his.
The pull of gravity itched to yank her away from Peter, yet his arm seemed unbreakable around her waist.
There was something different about when someone was the ground beneath you, and the stars above you. His arm reached above her, his hand holding them against the wall, He was no more than a breath away. Michelle never felt so completely entangled in another person. She briefly wondered if Peter felt the same, even though she knew he didn’t. Not in the way she wanted him to.
Peter swung around Michelle, positioning himself in a makeshift squat against the wall. Michelle sat on his bent legs.
He pulled something out from a pocket in his suit that was virtually invisible. It looked like it was a rope woven from web. Careful not to let her go with his other arm, he hung the rope around his neck, before his free hand slapped back to the wall. “Just in case, thread that around my waist and around yours.”
Michelle laughed. “You know, people use full harnesses for rock climbing? If I fall, tying this around my waist isn’t gonna do shit.”
“It’s a work in progress. Jesus, why are you so difficult?”
Regardless of how absurd it was, she leaned into his bent legs, loosening her arms from his neck. She picked the rope up. It felt oddly cold, but it was more so the texture that made it feel that way. The elasticity and strength of the stand was astonishing. She threaded it around their bodies, careful of Peter’s hand wrapped around her, and tied it in a figure eight knot.  
And then, they were ready.
It took them ten minutes of swinging to get to Peter’s mystery location. Michelle swore she’d jump off a building before she let Peter swing her around Queens again.
He was now scaling the side of a building, slower than she was sure he could go, but then he was only using one hand. Michelle kept Peter in a bear hug, her legs wrapped tight around his waist. After they passed the tenth floor, she glued her eyes shut to keep from throwing up. Peter was trying to keep her talking. He could probably feel the thundering of her heart against his chest and knew she was scared out of her mind. If there weren’t more pressing things to worry about, Michelle would be embarrassed by how typical she was acting. Shouldn’t she be able to dangle fifteen stories in the air and be completely neutral about it?
She forced her eyes open, convincing herself that she was being ridiculous. If she was on the other side of the glass, looking down from the interior of the building, she would be fine. Now, seeing the shrunken effect on cars and the few people mulling about below, Michelle felt a new wave of nausea and promptly shut her eyes again.
Peter was babbling on about something, she could hear snippets of Star Wars, and how The Last Jedi wasn’t that bad after he watched it again. A particularly nippy gust of wind washed through her hair, smacking into her body, Michelle shivered through her teeth, “Peter, this is not the time to nerd out on me.”
“Are you cold?”
“What was the first clue?”
Peter huffed, pulling them both up another floor. “You know, I drag you up her with your boney hips and I don’t even get a thank you. Frankly I’m shocked. Your manners are appalling.” He said it with a quiver of laughter in his voice.
“First of all, I was fine sitting at home, you begged me to come. Secondly, you can shut the hell up about my boney hips because literally you’ve got the boniest everything ever, so suck it up.” Michelle looked up to the sky because it was better than gazing at the distance between her feet and the unforgiving pavement beneath. She was pretty sure they were at the top of the building Peter had scaled for the better part of thirty minutes.
Peter hauled them both onto the flat surface of the roof. It took some work for him to pull them up as a unified pair.
His foot slipped against the gothic trimming of the building, causing him to crash into Michelle. The force knocked her off kilter. Gravel bit into her back. Peter fell on top of her, flopping on her chest and panting with anxiety. “Sorry. I slipped, but it’s okay. We’re okay… Are you okay?” He yanked the mask off, his breath washing across her cheeks, prickling her neck. His weight was still pushing into her. He asked his question again when she didn’t answer. His face was close. It’d been this close before, but this felt different. “MJ, are you okay?” It was a whisper, at least that’s what it felt like. Whispering always felt so intimate.
Gulping down the burn aching in her throat, Michelle shoved him away to save from doing something stupid. “Yeah I’m great. I really loved the part where we almost died.”
Peter laughed. He rolled from her and stored his mask in his backpack. “We didn’t almost die.”
“So, swinging around Queens and scaling buildings with crazy superpowers that make no scientific sense is completely safe? My life was in danger, Parker.”
Eyes rolled in his head, a smirk twitched on his face “For someone who seems so chill, you really are a drama queen.”
With a sly grin, Michelle started to pull herself to her feet. This banter was the most normal her and Peter had been in weeks. “I couldn’t possibly take Her Majesty's crown away from her.” Rolling to her feet, she slapped Peter twice on the shoulder. Her pointed look conveyed what her words didn’t.
Peter pulled back, placing a hand to his heart. “You can’t possibly mean me?”
“Seeing how you’re the one who wears red and blue pajamas while saving the city, I’d say yes.” The gravel was biting into her feet, poking her heels and toes with jagged edges. Without thinking, her weight shifted from foot to foot, trying to find a comfortable position. “What did you want to show me anyways, loser?”
Perking up, Peter slung his backpack from his shoulder to the ground. He reached into the mouth of it, searching for something until his face shifted into delight. He pulled a cube, matte black with glowing blue edges, from the bag.  
Peter handed her the cube and she explored the surface with prying fingers. Smooth metal, cool to the touch greeted her fingertips. The neon blue lights flickered when her fingers brushed against them. “What is it?”
Peter took it from her palm. His eyes flickered over her injured hand and she knew he wanted to ask how she was doing. Instead he reverted his attention back to the cube. Fast as lightning, but Michelle picked up on it.
“Come on, I’ll show you.” He slung his backpack onto one shoulder and hopped away from her. Grinning wide, he was already halfway across the roof. He hunched over something that looked like blankets. He set the cube down as Michelle started to make her way across the gravel. She should have put shoes on. Every step lodged jagged rocks into the pads of her feet. She took her steps light and slow.  
Once she managed her way to Peter and came up beside him, she saw blankets laid out over the center of the roof, taking up a good radius of space. Michelle stepped behind him and onto the layers of blankets. He was crouched down over the cube he’d been showing to her. He set it up around the fringe of the blankets. She noticed there were three more set up around the perimeter just like it. “What's—” she began to ask, until she realized Peter had his phone pressed against his cheek.
“Mr. Stark,” With Peter’s back turned toward her, he spoke hushed into the phone. She stared at the spider graphic sprawled across his shoulder blades. Peter continued on, “Well I just figured—no! I mean, yes. I know I shouldn’t have—but it was right there and—What? No, she isn’t. Oh my God, please stop. Mr. Stark, can you please just—? She isn’t my girlfriend. I’m just trying to be a good friend. Please can you stop asking me about—Oh my God.” Peter’s head dropped low enough that Michelle could see only his neck.
He was listening intent to Tony Stark on the other line, and Michelle couldn’t resist messing with him. Padding over, she placed her lips close enough to his ear that her voice could fill them completely. “What’cha doin’, Spidey?”
He shot into the air. Literally, Peter went about three feet in the air. “MJ!” he screeched. The phone was still tight in his fist. “Jesus! You scared the shit out of me.”
She shrugged, feigning innocence, and plopped down on the blankets. Peter must have layered them up because she couldn’t feel the gravel beneath her. “You didn’t happen to steal this tech from Tony Stark, did you?”
Peter yelped and covered the receiver of his phone. “I borrowed it!”
“Typical white person response.” Laying back, Michelle turned her face toward the sky. There was always the impenetrable glow of the city below. No stars, only light slung up into the heavens. It was the vast nothingness she accepted.
“How is that a—" Peter shot her a dirty look. His face always looked too much like a puppy to take him seriously. “Nevermind.” He spoke a few more hushed words into the receiver Michelle couldn’t make out. Not that she was trying to eavesdrop. She was naturally curious. All she managed to hear was an elated, “Thank you so much, Mr. Stark!” before Peter hung up the phone. He kneeled next to one of the cubes around the blankets and fidgeted with it. In the darkness Michelle could only see the flash of his fingers over blue light before the washed-out sky above her dissolved into a clear view of the stars.
Bolting up, Michelle’s eyes roamed over the dome now above her. Black around the edges, fading into a glittered peak. She curled her fingers through the flicker of the dome. The glowing pricks above her head dimmed as her hand moved through them. “Is this a hologram?”
Peter’s weight dropped beside her and he brought a blanket over their legs. His arm brushed hers. “Sort of. Mr. Stark created it to keep an eye on the sky after everything that’s happened. But living in light polluted areas he couldn’t just go stargazing. I thought he’d have like a giant observatory, but he doesn’t. Well, I don’t think he does…” He shrugged. “I don’t know. If he does, I don’t think he uses it. Either way, he started looking into creating a mini observatory that he could carry with him. It uses holotech to create a filter for light pollution, and since it creates a dome over the viewer, the micro telescope can filter everything out. Then, if you want, you can zoom, and the dome will project the magnified image. Watch.” With a proud smile, Peter swept his hands in front of the dome. His actions caused the sky to zoom inwards until Michelle was looking directly into the Milky Way. There were so many more stars above her than she had ever seen. Inhaling deeply, the pure sight of the sky filled her.
“Pretty cool, huh?” Peter asked, glancing at her for approval.
Michelle, with her eyes brimming in stars and her vision a typhoon of galaxies, smiled and nodded. “I’ve never seen so many stars. This is incredible.” Her breath hitched when she glanced away enough to look at Peter. All nose and eyebrows from the side. His lips a thin line per usual. “Thank you.” It was no more than a whisper.
Peter met her eyes. Only half of his face was visible in the reduced light, but Michelle could see the tender smile across his face. “You’re welcome.”  
The realization that she’d been treating her entire team and best friends as punching bags because of her own personal insecurities struck her. The thought of her father bubbled up, knowing that was how he dealt with his issues. She couldn’t bear to look at Peter with the thought and turned her face away. Clearing his throat, Peter also turned his face back to the sky.
“So, if you want, I can show you how to work this. It's pretty easy. I'm sure you can figure it out yourself.... but just in case.” He made no assumptions and didn’t instantly begin explaining.
“You can just do it. I’d rather sit back and enjoy.”
“You sure?”
Nodding, Michelle adjusted to a more comfortable position. She inadvertently brushed against Peter’s arm and stayed with her skin pressed against his warmth.
Peter began zooming in on constellations. Text appeared next to the stars providing the information that Peter would ask for aloud. Michelle began asking questions too. The experience was incredible. They looked at the crater marked surface of the Moon in detail Michelle could barely believe. Peter was able to find the sea of Tranquility without the AI’s help. When they turned their focus to Mars, Michelle then pointed out Olympus Mons. The detail was crystal clear. It was raw, celestial beauty.
Being in their own world, with the filtered dome overhead, Michelle couldn’t help feeling a surge of fire in her stomach. Rolling against her ribs and licking lower into her abdomen. She could feel the gratitude crashing over her. The wave of gratitude gave way to purity. A sense that she’d been stripped of her barriers. Peter found a way to take away her varnish and find the natural grain under her surface.
Michelle felt the heat of the stars burning over her skin. They both stared at the Milky Way shining over their heads. Peter’s knuckles brushed against hers, and she forced her hand away, assuming it was an accident. The burn coursing over her skin contradicted wildly with the emptiness inside. She’d been decimated in the past weeks. Looking up at those twinkling lights in the sky, she realized many of them may have already met her same fate. “Isn’t it so weird that a lot of these stars could’ve collapsed, burnt out, or exploded eons ago, and we wouldn’t know. A star could’ve exploded yesterday, and we wouldn’t know on Earth until billions of years from now. It’s unnerving, when you think of it.”
Peter gazed at her, caressing the profile of her face with his gentle stare. Invisible burns arched up her cheeks and rounded over her nose under his steady observation. No mockery masked Peter’s face as a closed-mouth smile reached up to crinkle his eyes. “Yeah, that’s crazy,” He trailed his eyes back to the stars, prompting Michelle to bring her attention back to the glitter filled sky. Peter continued his sentence with his face still turned up. “It really makes you think about the power of those balls of gas. Even our Sun distributes heat for millions of miles. All that raw, plasmic energy. All that heat and power. And someday, it'll be gone. It’s crazy that things so powerful in the universe can just be gone one day.” Glancing at Michelle he began to rectify what he said. “Well I mean obviously they don’t just die out of the blue. They decline, or expand, or collapse. So, it’s obvious that the death is coming, but—I mean, you get what I mean.” He paused, “But they sure are pretty to look at right now.”
Words were picking up speed in her thoughts. She thought about the death of stars. Stars which cut such a puncture through space that with her naked eye she gazed at them; trillions of miles away. And one day, they would die.
Inside, she felt a decline. The plasmic core of her universe dropping in temperature by the day. One day, the gravity wouldn’t be enough to keep her together. She’d hurtle through the universe in billions of tiny pieces. She would turn into asteroids that left destruction in their wake. Peter’s words echoed in her mind at that moment. But they sure are pretty to look at right now.
“They’re harmless from all the way down here. But if you get too close to them, they can only cause destruction. You fall into them and you burn.” Her voice was small. The words muttered at a volume reserved for reverent prayers.
Peter turned his face away from the sky and back to focus on her. “MJ?” Some questions need not be asked. Knowing what Peter would gather from her dreary comment, Michelle knew the question he was asking with just her name. He wanted to understand.
With a heavy sigh she closed her eyes and counted to five. It was the same as jumping from a cliff into the waters below. The countdown until launch. “I feel like I blew up in every meaning of the word except physically.” Swallowing, Michelle continued beyond the grip of her insecurities wrapping around her throat. They coiled in her lungs. “There’s all of this stuff that I don’t like to think about, about my past. I’ve been thinking about it so much recently.” Taking a deep breath, she continued, “It all stems to my damn father. I have so many insecurities because of what he did to my mom and me. I’ve spent my entire life trying to distance myself from him, but there’s this part inside that just feels so disgustingly like him. Like he’s passed on being a shitty human to me.” She could feel Peter’s intent gaze.
Another swallow. Deep breath. “He’d beat my mother, and I was ‘always the cause of everything’.” Sarcasm bit her tone, a sharp bark to her words. “We weren’t enough for him. Not that I give a shit about that, because he didn’t deserve my mom. But he tried to solve all his problems with anger. I felt like it was my fault, I guess and so I just started building these walls. I looked into his eyes the night they took him to prison and told myself I’d never be like him. I never wanted to be someone I wasn’t so people might like me. It never worked on my dad, and after trying so hard to change his mind I wasn't interested in changing anyone else's. I just built up those walls so he couldn’t hurt me anymore, so no one would be able to hurt me. And I’m happy with the person I’ve become, because I made myself the way I am….” She swallowed. Pushed the emotions behind her exterior and kept her eyes trained towards the galaxies.
A long silence followed. From the corner of her eye Michelle could tell Peter was listening intently to her. His lips didn’t twitch to fill the void. He waited until she was ready. A minuscule smile flashed on her lips before disappearing into smoke.
“But there’s this feeling that he’s lurking in there somewhere when I get angry or feel like I’m not the person people want me to be. All I can hear is him berating me, and all I can see is what he did to my mother, over and over. The walls I build... I feel like I’m protecting myself as much as everyone else. Because if I’m even a fraction of the person he is, I can’t let that be who I am. And when the walls crumble, I feel that part of myself lash out and it just goes to show he’s part of me. No matter how much I’ve tried to purge him. So much has been falling apart recently. And I’ve had to see that I’m not the—” …person you want…
Michelle cleared her throat, loud and violent to compensate for her near slip up. “I’ve just felt attacked for stupid reasons. Then, because I was mad, I pushed you away and acted out. And because I’ve been spiraling, the decathlon thing happened, then I punched Flash. And now to top it all off my dad wants me to come visit him in prison. And, Jesus, I’m actually thinking of going just to give him a giant, ‘fuck you for fucking up my life!’ But then I think it’s not even worth it because he doesn’t deserve that much.”
Michelle’s eyes stayed miraculously dry, but tremors crawled down her body. Her lip quivered in the slightest as she focused on trying to keep it still. Trying to laugh it off. “I’m not trying to throw a pity party here or play the misogynistic trope of the damsel in emotional distress who’s in need of your rescue.”
Reflections of the stars sparkled in Peter’s eyes. Every point of light highlighted the sincerity that Peter oozed. “That would make me your knight in shining armor.” And he chuckled, light and full of air. The breath of it broke over Michelle’s face.
She chuckled too. Now able to crease her lips into a smile, Michelle replied. “In your dreams.”
Smiling back at her, Peter said. “Yeah,” His eyes flitted down to trace the curve of her jaw. “You don't need a guy to save you.”
“I’d take Spider-Man if I was in a jam.
Peter threw his head back against the blankets with an infectious laugh. “Good to know.” When he turned back to her, that genuine, supporting gaze returned. “But seriously, MJ, you are nothing like your dad. I mean, you’re my best friend, and I like to think I know you. The real you. You could never be like your dad. Not from what you just told me. I think you know that somewhere deep inside. You could tame the sea, MJ. I mean—I’m pretty sure that you are God. I mean,” He blushed ever so slightly. “You’re one of the most badass, caring, mindful, intelligent, beautiful people I know. That may not help at all, because I get insecurities and have bad anxiety. I know that sometimes no matter what people say—I just know that sometimes it doesn’t help. You’re having a hard time right now, but just please remember that I—everyone—Ned, Aunt May, and I, all love you. I love you so much I—” He cleared his throat. “Ned does too. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Much less us. You are Michelle Goddamn Jones. And you, ma’am...” He brushed the knuckle of his index finger down the bridge of her nose. Fire woke in its path. “You are a national treasure.”
“Laying it on pretty thick, huh?” The smile wobbled on her face, but felt firm, her cheeks filled with burning plasma. A tear slipped from the edge of her eye and slid halfway down her cheek before Peter’s thumb caught it.
“Maybe.” As Peter shrugged, he shifted closer to her. His forehead a brush away from her own. In that minuscule void he whispered, “But it’s true.”
Images of her father flashed through her thoughts.
Before Peter showed up at her window, she’d thought of all the things she’d say to her father. The words she’d use to prove that she was nothing like him. That he had no control over her life. She wanted him to know the garbage he was as a father and human. With Peter’s words now swirling around her brain, a bubbling realization took over her.
At some point she’d lost herself in the rubble her father left. Somewhere along the line, she gave too many pieces of herself to the ghosts she chased. There were things she couldn’t control. She sure as hell wouldn't allow anything to control her.
In that moment, with her head pressed against Peter’s, their eyes closed and breath braiding together, Michelle let go of her father. She owed no piece of herself to him. The memories would always hurt, but she wouldn’t waste her time on him.
When Peter’s nose skimmed her own Michelle let the guilt and pain boil away.
She was not a statue carved from stone, unable to bend or move. Stuck in eternity as one person. She was an imposing wave that battered shore, and she was the wave caressing the sand as it tumbled back to the ocean. She would not be imprisoned in her own misconceptions of what she could and couldn't be.
The resinous smell of Peter engulfed her. His cheek was soft as velvet under her lips. In that moment, she realized he was not hers to keep. She knew that all she needed from him was friendship. Anything else beyond his friendship was something she wanted but would not allow herself to need.
“Thank you.” It dripped as honey would from her lips. It was a pure murmur into Peter’s ear. Michelle put to rest the idea that Peter’s glances and smiles meant anything beyond friendship. Regardless of if he would or could love her, it didn't matter. She was not his, and he was not hers. They both belonged to each other only in friendship. She accepted it and let that longing inside diminish to nothing more than a vague ache.
She pulled away from Peter, her lips brushing faint along his skin. As her body created space between them, she began filling the emptiness inside herself.
Finally, she was beginning to feel whole.

Tumblr media
You couldn't help but accuse Peter of spending too much time with Gwen.
Perhaps it was your declining self-esteem or lingering fear, but seeing the two spend more time together made you feel sick to your stomach. Your thoughts are overwhelmed with nothing but the deep worry of Peter's feelings drifting away from you.
You were disappointed because you were continuously having to cancel plans when Gwen requested something, or because Peter had to leave in the middle of you two hanging out because Gwen called.
You just had the feeling that your boyfriend wasn't your boyfriend anymore.
You know, hating Gwen was pretty petty, given that the two were already great friends before you ever asked Peter out on your first date.
So you let the problem fester for a few months, pushing aside the disappointment and constant nights where you would sit alone in your room and forget you were in a relationship and still the man would climb from your bedroom window into your room late at night only for you to instantly turn him away in defense of your feelings being all over the place.
You didn't want to talk about it because you were afraid of coming across as a crazy girlfriend, you know the ones that would motor everything their partners did. Wouldn't let them even talk to other women, you didn't want to seem crazy, you just wanted to be with your fucking boyfriend.
You've always been fond of Peter. You loved his smile, adored the quirky way he talked about the things he was passionate about.
You simply like being around him and the energy he appeared to exude when he was around you, or so you believed. Everything simply sorts of altered when the change happened, whether it was months into your relationship or just around the year mark.
You began to notice Peter's changes; certainly, he was a superhero, but it felt like he had changed mentally, dragging himself around more and devoting less time to your relationship.
It appeared like he liked the concept of you more than being with you, almost as if he remembered you now and then.
Many times, your friends might advise you to stop your relationship with him. They would constantly stare at you as if you were the saddest thing in the world when you brought up Peter in conversation.
Almost as if they wanted to say something but couldn't because they knew it would shatter the last of your hope for your relationship.
You tried too many times to talk it out, but Peter seemed to drift away from discussions and hanging out with you, always blaming it on his responsibilities as Spiderman and having to cope with school.
So you clung to that tiny thread that kept your sanity together into a lovely little heart. "I say you just stop, like not the silence treatment, but just back away and watch how long it takes him to recognize that you're not putting up with that garbage anymore."
Sally Avril was the last person you expected to make friends with, and you practically pinch yourself when she agreed to eat lunch with you the day Peter deserted you for a "spiderman thing" after school.
Sally had been the weight that kept you down since the day she found you struggling to wipe the smeared runny eyeliner off your face in the girl's washroom.
When you brought up your Peter difficulties, the woman never complained. Unlike your previous set of friends, who seemed to kick you to the curb, they realized you were still madly in love with him.
After having had enough of watching you destroy yourself for a boy, they decided to cut you off completely, which just added to your many difficulties that seemed to be worse by dating Peter Parker.
You wanted to admit how terrible your life had become, but you hadn't opened the worm packet yet "Make him understand how much time and effort you put into the relationship to make it work. That's what I had to do with Flash the next day to get him to crawl back to me."
One thing Sally had forgotten about her advice, which you seemed to take, was that Flash was an airheaded jock who only thought about boobies and sports.
Not Peter Parker, the superhuman teenager who seemed to have mastered the ability to talk his way out of everything.
You despise yourself for surrendering to Peter's false promises, constantly vowing to spend more time together but never making the effort to do anything.
You let Peter string you along once more, ignoring your emotions. You put an end to your attempts, stopped messaging and contacting him first, and didn't bother waiting for him to walk you home after school.
Instead catching a ride with Sally, you made sure Peter saw you exit Flash's car when you got to school. All week, the "not-silent-treatment-silent-treatment" looked to be working in your favor, as you purposely ignored the man when he attempted to speak to you in class.
You were well aware of Peter's habit of calling you out of the blue. allowing your phone to ring whenever he called late at night, and locking your window and closing your blinds every night as an additional "fuck you."
It was a small ploy, that nearly got you through the month until Peter approached you. Dragging your shoulder into an empty classroom, and slammed the door shut behind you, blocking the exit with his taller body.
"So, are you going to speak with me? should I ask why Sally Avril seems to know more about why my girlfriend suddenly ignores me and spends out with a bunch of numb-brained popular jockeys?"
The insult should have made you feel more offended. The male, no doubt, was referring to Flash, who you didn't want to accept was getting closer to being named your friend than you expected.
"I'm not sure. Perhaps you should ask Gwen. Because you appear to be joined at the hip, she may be aware of what is going on."
Peter exhaled a forceful sneer as he gazed at you, his genuine displeasure flowing over his features.
It was a staring contest as Peter fidgeted, placing his bottom lip between his teeth and squinting at you, as he did whenever he was irritated. "Are you going to blame Gwen for a week of you ignoring me?" When it was your turn to glare, you crossed your hands over your chest so he couldn't see how shaky your hands were.
"I'm sorry, maybe if you paid attention to someone other than yourself and someone who isn't even your girlfriend, you'd realize that this is all due to you."
You knew you pleaded for this moment for months, just the chance to get everything off your chest, yet your voice quivered and your eyes began to sting, but Peter showed no sign of wanting to back down; his pride was too great.
"Okay, I'm here. Say whatever you want. Can you do that at least once?" You swallowed a lump in your throat and let out a loud chuckle, amused by the absurdity of his wishes. "What gives you the impression that I even want to talk to you anymore, Peter?"
"Because, well, you're my girlfriend, and I love you. It hurts to watch you choose to talk to someone who has made my entire life a living nightmare while ignoring me as if I don't exist."
Peter reached his arm up, catching you off guard as your body seemed to react on its own, withdrawing as your hands swiftly covered your chest.
The male abruptly came to a halt, and the room fell silent as you two seemed to comprehend what had just happened. "Did you think I was-"
"I have to get going, Peter; I have class."
Tumblr media
a/n —Okay, so I wrote this on the spur of the moment, I usually avoid prompts that bring up ab*se or anything heavily related to the crossing of the line of such because it's not something I'm comfortable writing about, but I wanted to challenge myself a little, so if this seems a little "off" from my usual writing style, that's because I was literally grasping at straws through the entire thing.

Special One Out - Peter Parker (Any)
(Idea from YT and a fanfic)
Warnings: Angst, death and unfair parents .
Y/N's parent's never liked her, there were so many unnecessary reasons why they disliked her. One of the reasons were that she had beautiful h/c hair, while they were brunettes. (If you're a brunette, you can pick a diff hair colour.)
At a very young age of 5, her little sister, Celia was born. (You can use your second name or another name if your name is Celia.)
Y/N craved the attention her parents gave Celia.
She tried to impress them with her daily drawings from school, she tried to impress them by knowing how to spell Czechoslovakia, (I had a hard time spelling this!) but they were unimpressed with everything she did, instead they were impressed with the blabs and whines of Celia.
When Y/N was in her first day of grade 1, her parents didn't say goodbye, not even a good luck kiss on the check.
She felt nervous, no one was there to assure her that it was all gonna be okay.
No one but Peter Parker.
The two met on the playground during lunchtime.
Y/N was sitting on one of the swings, watching all the kids eat and laugh together.
"Hello." A friendly voice greeted, Y/N turned her head to the person who owned the voice.
"Hi," She replied with a smile. "I'm Peter, Peter Parker." The sandy haired boy introduced. "Y/N L/N." The h/c girl replied back.
"May I sit here?" Peter asked, she nodded. "So how's your first day?" He questioned her again.
"Uneventful. Mom and dad didn't even tell me to have a great day." Y/N said sadly. Peter's brows furrowed and his lips turned into a forwn.
"Why?" He asked, "Well they dislike me, for some reason. I never knew why. I didn't ask, I didn't want to be even more disliked." She replied with a frown on her face.
"Oh..Well, that's terrible." Peter stated, looking at the girl. "Yeah, but it's fine. Happens all the time." She said.
"No, you deserve better." Peter said and hugged the girl. "A hug to brighten your day." He breathed. Y/N smiled and laughed, and hugged Peter back.
"I can tell this is a start of a beautiful friendship, Y/N." Peter smiled. "I'm sure it is." She replied with a smile.
Years passed, everything stayed the same.
Y/N's parents still adored Celia, she and Peter still stuck together and formed a beautiful friendship.
But things began to down downhill when a specific blonde began dating Peter.
Gwen Stacy.
Who wouldn't like her? She's pretty, smart, kind, thoughtful, she could he every man's dream girl.
Even Peter's.
And here you are, holding the rails of your balcony as your tears tell down like the Niagara falls.
All because he ditched you just to hang out with Gwen.
"I'm supposed to he used to this, he always ditches me for Gwen." You said, wiping the tears before going back inside your so called home.
"Y/N, I want you to go to the store and get Celia some ice cream, Cookies and Cream. Don't mess it up." Your father commanded strictly. You nodded softly before heading out.
The night was cold, very cold. You mentally thanked yourself for always wearing a hoodie.
As soon as you arrived at the store, you couldn't help but feel like someone has been following you. You just hoped it was some guy who was also going to the store.
But oh how wrong you were.
"That'll be $5," the old lady said. You nodded and hamd dnher your $5 before leaving the store with the plastic bag full of ice cream.
"Thanks miss, have a lovely night." You smiled at her as she also smiled back before leaving.
During your journey on your way home, the same feeling that someone was following you came back.
Scared, you started to walk faster and began to walk in streets where there were a lot of people to scare the man away, if possible.
But sadly the random street walking ended up at an alley with a dead end. You stopped right in your tracks as the man stood behind you, you could feel that he was smirking in success.
"What do you want from me? Leave me alone." You told the creepy man, but all he did was stand there with a creepy look on his face.
He continued to not say anything, but when the one and only Spiderman jumped down from a building, the creepy man immediately grabbed your arm and ran away with you.
Oh but he wasn't alone, 2 other creepy men came out of nowhere and distracted Spiderman as the man who held you run away.
"Get off me!"You yelled at the man. "Let go off me!" He groaned and took out a handkerchief and sprayed it with some weird cologne and covered you mouth and nose with it, making you unconscious.
Before you could fully black-out, the man said "Now you'll shut up."
~
Y/N woke up with a banging headache. Groaning, she tried to move her arms but realised they were tied to a pole.
"Ah, I see that you're awake. Great timing, your spider boy is here." The same man who covered her mouth earlier said.
"What does this have to do with me?" She asked, attempting to untie the ropes. The man laughed darkly. "Oh you'll see. Just wait." He said before walking away.
~
A few minutes have passed, it honestly felt like hours for Y/N. She sighed before looking around.
At the corner of her eye, she spotted a familiar Blue and Red Spandex walking around the building.
Relieved, she signaled the hero to come towards her direction. "Psst, Spider-Man!" She exclaimed, but only enough for him to hear.
It seems like his Spider senses heard her voice and alerted him. "Y/N," He said happily and walked to her. "I'm glad you're alright."
She recognised that voice, she paused for a moment before her eyes widened. "Peter?"
Peter's eyes widened, "I-I'm not Peter. Who's Peter?" Y/N laughed, "I know that voice anywhere, Parker. I thought you were a genius." She smiled as he did the same.
"Anyways, let's get you out of here." He said before untying the ropes.
"Not so fast, spider boy." A voice said, the hero turned around in frustration. "Look man, you have no reason to get this innocent fine young lady in trouble." He said.
Spiderman then shot a web towards the criminal, only to be dodged. Laughing, the man called in the rest of his gang and started to attack the hero.
Everyone was so focused on their own thing that they didn't know that one of the gang members placed a bomb.
The other men had already left after leaving Spider-Man tired on the floor, they knew exactly what was gonna happen, and so did Peter.
So with all his strength, he got up and ran to Y/N, who was trying to free herself all this time.
"Peter..Help." She begged, her eyes full of worry. "Shh, it's alright. I'll get you out of here." He said and untied her.
With Y/N free, the two ran for their lives but it was too late, the bomb exploded as soon as they reached the exit.
The blast was strong, it made the two fly away from each other, one of them still near the exit and the other near the edge of the building.
Peter got up and looked around for Y/N, only to see her on the floor, full of bruises.
The ground below her was about to break. Worried, Peter ran as fast as he could to save her.
But it already broke.
She felll.
He didn't hesitate to jump down after her, not forgetting to shoot a web to catch her.
Luckily, his web was able to wrap itself around Y/N's waist, Y/N looked up and saw Peter and gave him a big smile. She mouthed a "thank you" to him as he smiled back.
But the happy moment was ruined when the web snapped, making Y/N fall and scream.
Peter shot another web, hoping that it'd grip on her tighter this time. But it didn't.
He kept trying and trying until one of them didn't fail him.
He smiled again and made sure she was safe as he went next to her.
"Hey," Peter greeted with a dorky smile.
"Hey." Y/N said.
"I'm so glad you're okay." He said, caressing her cheek. "And I to you." The two stared at each other romantically.
The two got down safely, earning many claps from the crowd.
The two never broke their loving stare, that was until Y/N spotted one of the men pointing a gun towards Peter's back.
With no hesitation, she changed their positions and heard a gun shot after. Gasps and screams echoed through the area.
"Y-Y/N?" Peter asked, he looked at her back and saw there was blood leaking from a hole.
"No." He said in realization, he made her face him and begged with tears forming, "Stay with me, Y/N. Please. Stay with me."
But her eyes were already closed.

A Love Story in 3 parts.
Disclaimer : Everything is fake. Or is it? 👀
Why the month of June is always very interesting. basically an excuse to try making a timeline of 1 month spanning three years before I attempt to do the 2017-2020 timeline. the keyword there is ATTEMPT.
﹌﹌Part I:  June 2018 ﹌﹌
This is a popular guess on the month that they actually got together— as far as acknowledging that they’re NOT bros. Keep in mind that these two supposedly first met on 3/14/2017 with no interactions or even eye contact ( as per Web). After that, they meet again 4/2018 as CQL started shooting. 
That’s two months of interaction. We have different timelines in our head with them, so you can interpret this as A.) they hit it off really quickly that’s why it only took a little time for their feelings to go THERE. B.) they are lying liars who lie and have been in contact from 2017-2018.
• 6.2.2018 - Shooting of LWJ and WWX in the rain.  • 6.3.2018 - Produce 101 Performance! Yes, the same one where GG was a mentor and they acted like they didn’t know each other. Famous for moments such as:
Glancing at each other even if separated by people. +  Sharing an earpiece. GG smiling while watching Web Dance.
Tumblr media
Here is the whole episode 
• 6.3.2018 - TTXS episode airing where Web gives love clues, where he says it depends on how he feels. Also that when he’s 40, he wants a kid and a dog. 
Tumblr media
• 6.9.2018 - GG’s interview with him showing how much of a Libra he is. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
• 6.10.2018 - TTXS episode airing where Cheng Xiao is a guest and she proceeds to be Web’s good bro by exposing him ; saying he’s a Monk. 
• 6.11.2018 - Interview with Popular highlight, Web mentions GG for the first time while looking THIS good. The Audacity. Honestly. 🤦🏻‍♀‍
Tumblr media
He talked about how long GG’s lines are compared to him, especially when they highlight it on their script books. 
• 6.14.2018 - Shooting of Cold Pond Cave scene ; Then clinging to each other amidst the cold water. If you watched the new BTS from fansites, there is a 🔞scene here. Pertaining to the M*gnum W*ng. 
• 6.16.2018 - Shooting guns at each other and dancing to Black Pink’s Ddu Ddu.
• { VERY IMPORTANT DATE} 6.18.2018 is when they shot this scene. GG is looking all wet, with mud on his face but Web just says he still looks handsome with no make up on. Also, CAN WE TAKE A SECOND AND WEEP at how GG looks at Web here. His eyes. Wow. He clearly adores Web at this point.
Tumblr media
• They also shot WWX handing Zongzi to LWJ.
Tumblr media
• Later that day, they ate together. They were photographed by paps who thought Web was going out with a girl. The produced and director of CQL was also there.
Tumblr media
• GG then posted this on Weibo on 20:18 “love you yibo” as a greeting for the Festival. Web took the picture, according to me. I’m the curtain.
Tumblr media
• 6.19.2018 - The next day, Web is photographed at the airport with the same clothes. This is also the first appearance of his white Nike Bag. He had to go and film an episode of Happy Camp.
Tumblr media
AND OUR BOI WAS ABSOLUTELY GLOWING IN THAT EPISODE. Watch it english subbed here. 
Tumblr media
• 6.22.2018 - a supposedly important day too as they cued 622 a couple of times. This is a good read on that.
﹌﹌ Part II: June 2019 ﹌﹌
•  6.1.2019 - GG interview with cosmo where he sings Kepler.  • 6.2.2019 - Web attending Yuehua family concert • 6.15.2019 - Web in extreme youth press conference wearing a questionable spongebob shirt.
Tumblr media
• {VERY IMPORTANT DATE} 6.19.2019 - First appearance of Web’s ox head necklace via a picture of him in an airport, at Chongqing. 
Tumblr media
• 6.19.2019 - GG posts an ad for Qeelin on his instagram account. ( which is now non existent since it was hacked incase you didn’t know). Qeelin Bo is significant to BJYX, you can check it on my jewelry post. 
Tumblr media
• 6.21-6.22 2019 - Web posted himself practicing skateboard. 
Tumblr media
• 6.25.2019 - They both posted on their Weibo about their joint Bazaar Magazine cover. This was re-released and became bazaar’s #1 e-magazine issue.

Tumblr media
• 6.28.2019 - Web posts himself as LWJ, saying rabbits are cute. 
Tumblr media
• 6.30.2019 - Web attends Yuehua annual party as Spiderman (into the spider verse).
Tumblr media
.
﹌﹌ Part III: June 2020 ﹌﹌
• 6.5.20 - GG posts after a long time of silence with a picture of blue sky. Captioning it with : “Blue skies and white clouds, what do you see?” more on the significance of blue sky and white clouds with BYX here.  • 6.9.20 - XZ studio posts a video about GG’s daily life, giving us a glimpse of what he was doing. • 6.12.20 - We finally get a selfie from GG! He mentions on his caption that his hair is getting long. There is a CPN on this that the shirt he is wearing is a couple shirt from trasher which matches Web’s. Also, as people match the scenery posts on this, it matches with Web’s filming locations. 
Tumblr media
• 6.13.20 - GG Douyin update, making orange juice like a pro. CPN on this is that the place he is filming at is pretty similar to Web’s house. But let’s not go there. 
Tumblr media
• 6.18.20 - Another artwork post from GG. 
Tumblr media
• 6.20.20 - Himalaya releases a CF for their new endorser, Wang Yibis. THIS CF ANS EVERYTHING ABOUT IT KILLED US. Starting with Web’s post,  “Some words, even if I don’t say it, u guys will know. This is our tacit understanding. Love is like this. Accompanying everyday.”
Tumblr media
and this parallel, >>   
Tumblr media Tumblr media
• 6.21.20 - Web video doing an Ollie (skateboard trick). People were speculating where he actually is on this one. most probably just him enjoying his down time and probably Lele taking that video.  • 6.25.20 - GG posts an artwork of zongzi along with an actual one for dragon boat festival. People have analyzed the little drawings and noted one looks like him & the other as Web. 
Tumblr media
• AND FINALLY, this year’s Dragon Boat Festival gave way to the crazy fake rumor of them getting “engaged” + buying a house and car. When this came out, it was such a sweet fanfic— but with how the fake rumors becoming true lately— this is now very scary 👀.
CPN is that they spent this year’s Dragon boat festival together because of this clue. (Let me copy my own post) -->> 
This started with GG’s post and the background being compared to one of Web’s cast-mate, Wang Hao Xuan.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What gets me is the caption saying, “stuff that happens at work is a secret”. / “someone became super talkative while eating zongzi” What? Why? Who do we know is quiet but becomes really talkative when with his GG? WANG YIBIS.
Post-shoot, The director attended SDOC 3 finals too! To support Web. Plus Web’s message for the wrap was sweet. I felt like they really took care of him and will not say anything that will bring him down.
@p-h03n1-x - added a few more details on the posts particularly : Web’s popular highlight interview, video of DD almost going to GG’s care and heading back to trailer together. 
BONUS THROWBACK 6.1.2017.
Both of them posted selfies on that day, talking about 6/1 but there’s no event to celebrate on China on that day. 
Tumblr media
@choke-and-dye​ added an explanation for these: 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND THAT’S IT <3 If you made it this far, Thank you. old time bxgs won’t see anything new in this post (probably) but I hope you still enjoyed it. Let’s see what happens on June 2021 and onwards. :)) Also, if it takes this long just to create one month, how long with it be for their whole timeline so far. LOL. T.T

(1/?) This is going to be long because I have so many fandoms. I apologize in advance. May I have a matchup for ATLA, HTTYD, Harry Potter (golden trio era), Shazam, Teen Titans, Ultimate Spiderman, and Young Justice please? I'm 5'2, 220 lbs, have short brown hair, hazel eyes, glasses. I'm a major geek and a Ravenclaw. Outwardly I'm confident but I'm actually really insecure, especially about being fat. I love all of the fandoms above as well as PJO, Voltron, Star Wars, and anything superheroes.
(2/?)My star sign is Leo. I'm a MAJOR fan girl and I love music (my playlist has over 2000 songs). I'm super sarcastic and often I'm jokingly bitchy. I love quoting things, especially when someone understands my references. I have a movie and fanfic addiction. Love reading. I'm a huge nets, I love learning tings. I also love teaching things, I'm going to college to be a teacher starting this fall. I was raised by my grandparents and i'm the oldest of three. I'm an ENFP but I'm also an ambivert
(3/3) I'm a closeted bisexual to everyone but my friends. I prefer staying at home rather than going to events, but that doesn't mean I can't absolutely tear it up at parties. I try my best to always make my friends laugh when I'm around. I would like a fluff head canon please. Thank you so much for doing this and sorry it was so long!
ATLA: Sokka
Tumblr media
You and Sokka will fawn over books and charts like a bunch of nerds. Sokka loves that you're the only one who really appreciates his charting and maps and scheduling and even though the others don't understand why, it makes him fall even more in love with you because you pay attention to something he worked very hard on and even compliment him on it.
HTTYD: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Tumblr media
One of the things that Hiccup loves the most about you is your valuable opinion. You've always got a different view and additional things to say about any plans. You're like his personal blind spot corrector and he will definitely admit he owes everything to you.
Harry Potter: Luna Lovegood
Tumblr media
You and Luna like to go out to stargaze. While everyone is asleep, you both sneak around the prefects routes to go to the top of the astronomy tower and lay on a blanket while trying to spot different constellations.
Shazam: Freddy Freeman
Tumblr media
You're the only one who can keep up with Freddy and his geek-ness. More often than not, he'll use nerdy pick-up lines on you which is like another language for the people with bad taste. But you think it's cute and that's what matters.
Teen Titans: Starfire
Tumblr media
Starfire loves it when you teach her new things. She's already pretty intelligent but there are things on Earth that she doesn't know and you're more than happy to teach her that. Whenever you're explaining something to her, she just looks up at you with these big sparkly eyes full of adoration and you know she's distracted.
USM: Peter Parker
Tumblr media
Peter likes it when you're asleep in his bed. Not cuddling, which he enjoys sometimes, but just the sight of you sleeping in his bed makes him feel so damn proud. Like wow, this gorgeous piece of art divine looking girlfriend is in my bed? I am the luckiest human on the planet.
Young Justice: Wally West
Tumblr media
Others find it gross, but to Wally it was the very reason he wanted to wife you up. Because your foot massages are god sent. Man runs thousands of miles per day and he loves that you're actually attentive and kind enough to offer to rub his feet because they ache like hell. You're his one and only.

Guys !!! I am back! First of all, I hope all of y’all (your friends, family, pets! too) are doing alright. Keep safe! Wash your hands! Don’t go out if not necessary! Kisses! Kisses! Kisses! Alright, alright, let’s do this shall we? Same shit applies. [Here is Part 1 & 2 btw ] 
The themes of the stories on this list varies, I’m either into something heart-warming, fluffy, domestic that sort of stuff or into some really really heavy and dark messed up ones. (READ THE TAGS) It always depends on the mood am I right? *wink wink*
It’s always gonna be smutty though lol
As long as it’s tastefully written, whatever kinky shit, I can be into it, I don’t judge the writer (they give us free content y’all, who are we to judge??) With that being said if I add something straight up messed up here now/or in the future, don’t come for meh, just mind the tags of the fic, for your own discretion if anything.
this list should be Wade Wilson/Peter Parker - Spiderman/Deadpool pairing only. I kinda like my babies greedy/possessive for/of each other.
READ THE TAGS.
I don’t care who tops or bottoms.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Summaries are taken directly from the fanfic’s summary.
Read the tags first!
Deluge (this is such a good boi, this fic is a good boy!) Weapon X chose Wade Wilson because of several factors in his life. He was a preternatural. He had extraordinary abilities that could be expanded upon. The cancer just made him desperate enough to agree to whatever they wanted to do with him.They didn't just turn him immortal. They destroyed his very soul, tearing him apart and shaping him into something new and never seen before. They took everything he had been and left him with ashes and bones. Soulless.He killed his creators and went on with his life.Then he met Spider-Man.Things started to change.Something inside him, something that had come out of the ashes and was a nightmarish, terrible thing, sat up and took notice. An intense, single-minded notice.
The Perks of Working Third Shift An AU in which Wade is wandering the globe and ends up in NYC where he meets the absolute most perfect man he's ever seen who's working third shift at a quick mart. Even better, the man seems happy to flirt back. Wade makes it his mission to score a date.Peter stopped dating a long time ago, but Wade's flirtations, energetic attitude, and hilarious comments make it hard for Peter not to enjoy the attention. But will all of that be ruined if Wade finds out his secret?
Better Like This  (Listen,  NotEvenCloseToStraight’s Spideypool works are amazing, read all of em, honestly just check out ALL the works of the writers on my list because if I list everything, this is gonna be a long ass list) No one knows Spider-Man is an Omega. Not the newspapers, not the NYPD, and certainly not the overly loud, definitely obnoxious, sort-of-a-good-guy, completely Alpha, Deadpool. And Peter would like it to stay that way. But when he drops into an unexpected heat, Deadpool is the only person he can call to help, and how quickly the Alpha switches from shouting dirty innuendos to whispering comforting things really throws Peter for a loop. After sharing a heat, Peter is convinced that Wade is his Alpha, and is ready to take him as his mate, but Wade rejects him. Wade knows that a man like him wouldn’t make anyone a good mate, much less a perfect, pretty Omega like Peter. So he says no, pushes the Omega away and unable to even work together anymore, they go their separate ways. Peter is devastated, heartbroken, seeking comfort in the arms of another Alpha, and all Wade can do is watch from a distance, and keep telling himself that he is doing the right thing, sparing Peter a life of disappointment and pain. Peter deserves better than him as a Mate, and one day Peter will understand. It’s Better This Way. But is it really?(Peter is Andrew Garfield)
Use Me Peter wants to help Wade. Wants to make him feel beautiful, wants to make him feel wanted... Wants to put out the fire in his own gut whenever he sees the merc for what he really is. He does.
Double Mint Gum Wade decides that only one of his fine-ass self just isn't enough 
Spider Spidey (SPIDERY SPIDEY!)
Bleed the Water Red Peter and Deadpool are held captive by a super-villain that has an inclination for torture. After she boasts her untarnished record at never having hurt a child or teenager, Peter is forced to break the truth to both her and Deadpool.“Did you know I have a perfect record?” The villain collects a rusted pocket knife, tracing it up Peter’s arm, over his shoulders, down to his collarbone, as though considering where to cut. Peter focuses on controlling his breathing, fear twisting awfully in his belly. “You may look down on me, Mr. Spider-Man, but for all the righteous suffering I inflict, I’ve never hurt a child. Not once.”“Y'know, I don’t think you do,” Peter blurts. At his words, Deadpool's stare intensifies. “Have a perfect, non-child harming record, that is.”
Don’t Keep Me Waiting Peter's 90% sure Wade likes him. Or at least he was sure. When you almost jerk off in front of the friend you're definitely not pathetically pining for and they never mention it again, it makes you doubt yourself. Peter knows he should probably just ask what the fuck is going on, but where's the angsty fun in that?
Sometimes When We Touch Peter answers a Craigslist ad for someone who is willing to pay for some unspecified physical contact/sex because he's just that broke. He's surprised to find out Wade Wilson is the one who posted the ad, but thinks he can still manage just fine even when the man explains he'd like him to wear a special costume for the occasion. Of course things become a little more complicated when Wade reveals the outfit he's chosen: a shockingly accurate Spider-Man suit
Sunflower 26 and standing at the head of Parker Industries, Peter feels young in every way. He doesn't know himself, he lacks a lot of experience, and he's struggling to get a grip on what he thinks of the merc with the mouth, an absolute force who has starting pushing his desires in a direction that terrifies him.He desperately tries to come to terms with sexuality, even when it means dragging Wade flat on his face.Takes place after the dance scene in Spider-man/Deadpool, with important plot details omitted. Follows these two through extreme character growth.
Two Thirds of a Whole (I honestly felt weird about this one, but eh, maybe someone who’s into it would appreciate it) Peter Parker and Wade Wilson, finding Vanessa dead and having never met, assume the second body is their other soulmate. When they meet in a market ten years later, they both have a chance they never thought they would get again-- a chance at love.But can they find a way to be happy as two thirds of a whole?
Holding Back The thing about not being able to die is that it makes everything so dreadfully boring. Seriously, immortality's a bitch. So, you gotta keep things interesting. How else are you supposed to get through the day without going insane? Well, more insane.Wade wants to be a hero, but fighting bad guys isn't enough to keep things interesting. Wooing Spider-Man might help, though. And exploring his kinks definitely will. Of course, he never thought anything would come of either of these things. Boy, was he wrong!
Missed You  (Imagine me covering me shyly covering my face for this ehehe) “Wade,” Peter whines, pulling off Wade’s mask and catching his lips in a deep kiss. All he can smell is leather and sweat and gunpowder, and he’s already embarrassingly hard. Wade comes home from a mission. Peter missed him. A lot.
Big Peter can't stop looking at and thinking about Wade's great big arms and shoulders and hands and back. He's fine. (He's not fine.) 
 Slip of the Tongue Sometimes Peter can forget how big Wade is, how much presence he has. Right now is not the time. His heart rabbits in his chest as he swallows, looking up. There’s always something there when Wade’s looking at him, something predatory, that makes Peter nervous and wanting, shivering hot all over.
Wade The Cat  “Aw don’t be afraid little buddy, it’s okay, he’s gone”Wade almost cringes at how someone is talking to him, what the hell?! He’s not a defenseless animal. Wait. No, yeah, he is.Wade looks a little alarmed, stepping back as the man crouches next to him, smiling sympathetically “It’s okay, I won’t hurt you. You okay?”Wade holds his breath, gives an once over at the guy, beautiful chestnut eyes, the adorable smile, the red face probably resulting from the cold and the brown humid hair stuck to his forehead as he holds his umbrella for both of them and yep, ladies and gentlemen if he wasn’t before, Wade is right now a defenseless animal because “Meow” Wade says wiggling what should be eyebrows “Honey, I’d let you take care of me all night long” Wade purrs.
Gonzo Journalist (It belongs to a series “We fell in love in October) A young photographer working for The Daily Bugle hears about the tragic fate of an ex-soldier and decides to write an article about his cause to help him out. Maybe more than in one way.
The Man in the Mask When Wade is unceremoniously dropped off into the custody of one Dr. Parker, he assumes the man has only the worst possible intentions for one of the world's last remaining mutants. But it turns out, the universe still holds plenty of surprises for them both.
You Wear My Name Over Your Heart Like It’s Invisible "Why don’t you ever let me see it? If you have the name already, why can’t you tell me whose it is? I thought we were best friends."Everyone gets their Name when they turn twenty-one. It isn’t their own name either. It’s the name of their Soulmate. When Wade Wilson wakes on his twenty-first birthday, he looks down at his chest and sees Peter Benjamin Parker. He stares for a moment then shrugs, gets dressed, and doesn’t think about it for another six weeks.
Parachute, Please Peter unexpectedly goes into heat after an Avengers mission, which could have been fine, but the ride back is 2 hours and he's stuck on a plane with his closest friends and family.At least there's one person he can call at times like these for relief. And in comes Wade.
Peter Parker’s Home for the Wayward Villain A really long redemption story.
And Words Are Futile Devices Peter doesn’t think he’s lonely. He’s too busy to be lonely. He’s twenty-two, working on his PhD and holding down a shitty job at the Daily Bugle, not to mention his nightly extra-curricular activities. He’s too busy for friends, and he’s certainly too busy for romantic interests. And yet, shockingly, apparently everyone in his life thinks he needs to stop being an anti-social recluse and get laid.So Peter enters the wide, wonderful world of online dating. He doesn’t expect to find his soul mate, or even a friend, and he’s definitely not looking for hook ups. He doesn’t know what he’s looking for, really, until one Wade W. Wilson catches his eye and captures his heart with risqué dog pics and a concerning obsession with cannibalistic serial killers.This is a love story. A sweet, inevitable journey towards each other. There is humor, and melancholy, and a touch of both gravitas and levity to the weeks that trickle by. But really it’s just an account of the slow, magnetic movement of Peter towards Wade, and Wade towards Peter.
Strays Wade finds Spider-Man unconscious on a roof top. Score!Or: Spider-Man has lost his memories, some of his vocabulary, and all of his social conditioning. Wade is losing his mind.
The Inverse Deadpool doesn't have to try very hard to hide his second gender anymore because ever since Weapon X, no one in their right mind would ever believe that Wade Wilson was an omega. It doesn't matter anyway, because Wade knows no Alpha would keep a male omega. No alpha WANTS one, much less one that's as scarred and unstable as he is. Apparently, Spiderman was born to break every rule Wade has ever known.
The Body Remembers When the Mind Forgets When people need a mate in their life, it isn't usually because they've forgotten they already have one. 
Half Your Age (Plus Seven) In which Deadpool has oddly specific and frustrating morals, Spider-Man has excellent friends, his lab partner has an opening for a bassist, Johnny Storm has the warmest feet, and everyone has had enough of hearing Peter talk about Wade Wilson (except Aunt May: she’s always glad to hear he’s back in town).

TITLE: Enough
WORD COUNT: 1.5K
PAIRING: Peter Parker x Reader
Warnings: None really, mostly just fluff :)
Summary: You are feeling lonely and tired in your apartment after working for hours, but luckily, a certain Spiderboy knocks on the window. Peter senses that something’s off the moment he swings by, and makes it his mission to make you feel better.
Note: Please don’t plagiarise!
Masterlist
*
You forced yourself to stand from the desk where you’d trapped yourself for the past three hours, having been stuck on your assignment.
In order to catch up on work, you’d had to skip your friend Y/F/N’s party tonight, and the moment you’d finished the assignment you’d pulled out your phone and checked your Instagram, only to find an endless sea of stories and posts from your friends at the party.
You weren’t really sure what you were expecting, though. Your friends were allowed to have fun without you. It just made you feel a bit lonely, in your bedroom, all alone. Your assignment, although finished, unedited was still sprawled out across your desk.
You lived too far away from Y/F/N to drive there now, and you stared out of the window absently.
You briefly wondered if your boyfriend, Peter, was at the party, too, while you blankly watched the cars drive past your street.
You let yourself collapse into the bed, letting out a muffled groan as you flipped over onto your back and tucked yourself into the blankets. You got the sudden urge to call Peter—to ask him to come over, but then reminded yourself that if he was at the party, you wouldn’t want him to feel like he had to leave because of you—
You didn’t remember when you started crying, but somehow you suddenly felt tears falling down your cheeks, staining your pillow. You knew that it wasn’t such a big deal, but it was just…
As if on cue, though, there was a knock on your window and you immediately leapt out of your bed to check who it was.
Not who it was, obviously, because there was only one person who could physically be knocking on your window but still—
Surely enough, it was Spiderman, and his eyes widened when he saw you, and then he frowned, carefully inspecting you for any signs of damage upon noticing the tears in your eyes.
Quickly, you unlatched the window and shoved it open to let Peter in, and then quickly looked away, using your hoodie sleeve to quickly get rid of the tear tracks that lined your red-tinted cheeks.
Peter closed the window behind him, gently and silently hopping into your room.
“Are you okay?” He asked softly, pulling his mask off his face and tossing it to the side, catching your sleeve with his hand so that you couldn’t dodge his question, “What’s wrong, Y/N?”
“I’m okay,” You said, managing a half-smile, “I was just feeling lonely, that’s all.”
His brown eyes were still filled with concern, your answer offering him little comfort. He gently reached to your cheek and brushed away a fresh tear.
“Okay,” he said, looking unconvinced yet allowing his frown to morph into a cute smile, “How are you going with your assignment?” He asked instead, sensing your discomfort and wisely deciding to divert the conversation.
“It’s done, I guess,” You answered half-heartedly, sitting down on the foot of the bed and patting the spot beside you for him to sit. When he did, you continued, “It’s really bad, though, I think, but at least I have something to show for the three hours I just spent doing it.”
“Do you want me to look at it for you?”
“I don’t want to think about my assignment right now, Peter,” You said, shaking your head, lying down on the bed, Peter following suit, “What did you do today, Spiderman?” You said teasingly, poking his cheek as he turned over to face you and instinctively wrapped you in his arms.
“Nothing big,” He said with a half-smile, pressing a kiss to your forehead, “Saved a couple of cats, stopped a couple of robberies…the usual stuff.”
“Sounds like fun,” You responded, thoughts of your schoolwork and the party that you were missing almostfading from your mind, “And school?”
“Skipped today,” Peter said, shaking his head a bit.
“Peter—,”
“I know, I know, I wasn’t going to,” He said, cutting you off, “But I got caught up in the morning on the way to school with a robbery and then there were reporters and by the time that was finished school was almost finished anyway. Besides, I didn’t have any classes with you today, so…no big deal skipping.” He pressed a kiss to your cheek, “MJ and Ned will send me the notes, don’t you worry.”
“Oh of course,” You said jokingly, running your hands absently through his brown curls, gently easing out the knots, “Wouldn’t want the friendly neighbourhood Spiderman falling behind on his school work, would we?”
“As a matter of fact, everyone thinks I’m a man, Y/N—,” He laughed.
“A man? No way, I’m pretty sure they all suspect that you’re—,” Your teasing remark was cut off abruptly by a notification popping up on your phone.
You wished you didn’t look at it, because when you did, you were immediately reminded of the fact that Y/F/N and the others were all at the party, having fun without you, and you wondered how many inside jokes you were missing out on, how many pictures you wouldn’t be in…
The notification was for your friend’s Instagram story—and when you watched it, despite the playful banter with Peter having taken your mind off of the party for a few minutes, the upset returned.
You wished it didn’t. You didn’t want to ruin the moment, but you inevitably did when you swallowed and tucked your phone back into your pocket, your playful smile from seconds ago already gone.
“Y/N,” Peter said, his concerned frown returning, “What’s wrong?”
You sighed, “It’s really nothing. I just…I needed to catch up on my assignment because I went to tutor some kids last week and missed the study session and Y/F/N is throwing a party right now and I’m missing out and don’t get me wrong I’m happy to be here with you it’s just that I feel unneeded, you know? And obviously I love you and I love being here with you but it’s just…it’s stupid.”
He didn’t speak for a couple of seconds, only gently pulling you closer and stroking your hair as you sniffled.
“It’s not stupid,” He finally said, quietly, “If it upsets you, it’s worth talking about. But, Y/N…if you want to go, I could swing you over there and you’d be there, no problems.”
“No, Pete, it’s okay,” You said immediately, “I want to be here. I’m just not in a good headspace and I dread missing out on things, even though I know I’m probably just overthinking, but I feel like if I miss out I’ll lose Y/F/N as a friend, you know? And it’s just not…not what I want.”
Peter kissed your hair and said, “Y/F/N loves you, Y/N. It’s not possible for you to lose her as a friend.”
You bit your lip and sighed, burying your face into his neck, “I know I worry too much about not being good enough.”
“Hey,” Peter said, pulling away to look you in the eyes sincerely, “I love you, okay? You’re good enough. You’re amazing and I love you.”
“I love you too, Pete.” You said, quickly wiping away the tears that threatened to escape, even though you had no intention to cry.
“Also,” he added, meeting your gaze still, “it’s okay to feel sad, and it’s always okay to talk to me, alright? There’s no need to say you’re okay when you’re not.”
You were both silent for a long time, just enjoying each other’s company, curling into the other’s warmth. You couldn’t believe how lucky you were, to have met Peter in the first place. You usually despised English class, but if it weren’t for that particular class, you wouldn’t have ever spoken to Peter at all.
“Thanks, Pete,” You breathed, tilting your head to kiss his lips softly, “You’re amazing too.”
“It’s okay,” He responded when you pulled away, “I’m here for you, Y/N.”
The two of you fell asleep in that position—curled up against each other, half-smiles adoring your lips.
Early the next morning, Peter woke up before you, slipping his mask on and carefully tapping you awake, just to let you know he was leaving.
“Hey, Y/N,”
“Pete,” You whispered groggily, opening your eyes just to see him lingering by the window, “Are you going already?”
“I’ll see you at school,” He promised, “English class, remember?”
You couldn’t help the excited laugh that bubbled from your lips affectionately, “See you, spiderboy.”
He didn’t correct the nickname, only blushing a bit, a shy smile appearing on his features as he slipped on his mask, climbed out of your apartment window and shut it behind him.
You heard the ‘thwip’ of his web as he swung off.
Spiderboy.
You found yourself thinking, amused, as you got out of bed and glanced out of the window, just to see Peter swing around the corner and vanish out of view.

millllennia’s frequently asked questions
Last Update: November 19 2021
Who the heck are you?
I’m Mack (though there’s a couple people on here that have called me Milli which I thought was adorable and that is also a perfectly fine thing to call me) I’m a full-time uni student from Canada that’s been writing on here since 2016. I use she/her pronouns usually but like really what is a gender. I used to be fanfiction-trashpile (which is still my user on ao3). 
Can I translate your work? 
Short answer: no. 
Long answer: still no, but it’s more complicated than that. No one has permission to repost or translate my work. Even if you message me and offer to give me credit, I will say no. If you want to create for fandom, you should do it yourself and I will stand by that. 
I welcome fanart, podfic, and fanfic of my fics, and I’d love if y’all would message me/send it to me/tag me in it so that I can hype you up! 
If you decide to write with my original characters (the Helix universe or Dear Love of Mine) I will ask that you give me credit for the characters, but I don’t mine anyone else writing them. The only canon content created for the Helix universe belongs to myself and vampy ( @vampirewithbedsidemanners) but even we write alternate universes of the Helixverse, so it’s totally okay for other people to do that too.
Why are you so darn specific about the style you write in? 
Okay so there are a few things about this that I’m really picky about: 
I never use y/n or any other derivatives of the term (y/e/c or the like). For me, it’s much harder to avoid using those kinds of stand-ins for terms, so I like to challenge myself by never ever using them. If the fic calls for the reader’s name to be directly said, I’ll just give the reader a last name (like in dear love of mine where the reader’s last name is Dean) 
(NOTE: this is not to say that people that use y/n are taking the easy road or whatever. it’s entirely a personal decision and writers that use it are still good. it’s just not for me)
All my sfw fics are completely body/gender neutral unless otherwise specified
All my nsfw fics are with an afab reader (because I only know my own biology and I’d hate to try to write something for another biology type and end up getting it wrong and just alienating everyone)
I’m specific about these things because I do not look like the skinny/blonde/straight-haired/blue-eyed/wattpad version of a reader in RI fanfic. It alienated me back when I read on that platform and I’d hate to make anyone feel like that. I’m still learning, and I’m not perfect, but I really want people who read my content to feel like they can actually be immersed in the story, no matter what they look like. 
That being said, I do not write readers from specific backgrounds/with specific features because I am whiter than white and that’s not my place (though I have reblogged some stuff that has specific readers so there definitely is some on my page! check out the recommended tag) 
My own personal tastes obviously affect my writing (because everyone writes from their own experiences) so there is often dancing/hair touching in my fics because I like that stuff. There will be warnings for basically anything that could alienate the reader including but not limited to: hair mentions, the reader getting picked up, the reader’s clothing being mentioned, and abnormal physical activity (dancing, swimming, etc). If you
Are requests open?
Requests for moments, headcanons, one-shots and drabbles are open! please send me headcanons i love hearing what y’all are thinking! with that being said, i reserve the right to not write or respond to requests that i don’t want to do because at the end of the day, this is my space and my writing makes me happy. 
What fandoms do you write for?
I am currently writing for:
Star Wars (literally any character including rebels/CW) 
James Bond (Craig era) 
Dune (I love the books and the film so I write based on both!) 
Marvel (including all movies and the Punisher)
But I will generally write for any content I have consumed in the last 2 years (so I'd be super down to write for mortal instruments/shadowhunters, for example, it might just take longer). If you request something I am not currently writing for, I will keep your request until I recirculate that fandom/character/concept because I am basically a garbage disposal for fandom. 
Do I need to give you plot details in my requests?
Requests can be as simple as “Fluff with Poe Dameron!!” but can be as complex as you would like. Some formats include:
dialogue prompts (ie. “I missed you” with Jace)
type of fic (ie. I would love some Billy Russo angst)
relationships with canon characters (ie. can you write some reader x kylo ren where the reader is Rey’s sister?)
any amount of plot details (ie. thanksgiving at the Weasley’s where you and Percy get stuck hand washing dishes)
Moments Collection prompt (ie. I read your Poe “The moment they first saw you” fic. Can you write one with Dani from Prodigal son?)
Headcanon prompt (ie. how do you think Poe finding out you’re alive after thinking he had lost you would go?) 
Or any combination!! I like writing what you guys want to see and challenging myself with your ideas. 
What “out of the box” ideas are you willing to write?
Many writers will not write the following, so I wanted to be clear that anything on this list can be requested and will be written without being altered (assuming it’s in my lane). If any of these things are used in a work, they will be listed in the Warnings category at the top of the post.
graphic descriptions of violence (including but not limited to: injury, torture, emergency surgery)
death (major characters and reader included. I just won’t write drowning for my own personal safety) 
homophobia 
nightmares/night terrors/forced dream sequence/drug trips/things like in spiderman: far from home before peter gets hit by a train 
lemon/smut/that kind of thing (but I’m very new to this so take it easy on me folks)
panic attacks
dubcon/noncon/dark fic 
I will also write the following things that are not “warning” related but not all writers will dabble in: 
alternate universe (though I usually prefer canon-compliant work) 
crossover content 
polyamorous relationships 
What don't you write?
I absolutely will not write: 
suggestive content with underaged characters (I’ll age them up)
the act of self-harm (I will write post-getting clean or talking about self-harm vaguely, but won’t write the action or witnessing the action for my own safety)
drowning/water boarding/violence involving water (I know, very specific, but I don’t write this for my own safety)
readers that deal with transphobia/racism (I am blessed to not have experienced either of these things and it’s absolutely not my place to think I can write about these struggles. I will however reblog content I find and enjoy because it is so important to talk about these things and bring awareness to these communities)
mental illness other than anxiety/depression/ptsd (outside of canon determined elements)
specific pronoun requests. all of my sfw work is gender neutral. the reader insert/imagine space has been historically very heteronormative and I want everyone to be able to enjoy my writing, no matter how they identify and which pronouns they use. if a fic is requested with pronouns, I will still write the request. it will just be gender neutral
real life people. non-negotiable. this makes me feel icky. no judgement to those that do it. I just won’t
abo!AUs. not my jam. 
magic AUs.
I hope this clears some stuff up! I’m looking forward to hearing from you guys! my inbox is always open so feel free to come chat!

Just Friends
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Summary: When being “just friends” isn’t enough anymore, then the jealousy kicks in.
Warnings: Underage drinking, language.
Word count: 1786
A/N: I saw the recent news about Marvel and Sony, sucks :(. I still love the Tom Holland version of Spiderman though. Honestly haven’t been all that interested in Spiderman till Tom. Hope you like this fanfic! Gif from google!
Tumblr media
“Hey y/n, you wanna come to my party?” Liz asked you after academic decathlon practice one day.
You thought about it for a moment, you had never gone to a party before, but it seemed kind of scary going at it alone. “Can Peter and Ned come too?” Nothing is scary when Peter is with me.
“Mmmm, yea sure I guess.” Liz answered nonchalantly. “Oh! If Peter really knows Spiderman, then bring Spiderman too!” Now she was excited.
“Sure! I’m gunna go tell them!” You ran off to Peter’s locker to tell them the good news. “Guyssssss! Liz just invited me to her party!” You were smiling a goofy smile all proud about the invite. “She said you guys could come too… but… she wants Spiderman to make an appearance.”
Ned was quick to share your excitement. “Really? Oh my gosh! Yes!”
Peter squinted his eyes. “What? No no no, Spiderman isn’t a party trick.” Peter whisper-shouted.
You and Ned both turned to Peter with expecting eyes, “why not?”
Ned says, “It would be so awesome!”
You gave Peter your best puppy dog eyes, “pleaseeee Peter?” how was he supposed to say no to your cute little pout?
Peter sighed, “Fine! I hate you!”
“Haha, no you don’t.” You say playfully.
Peter rolled his eyes and smiled at you.
You lived in the apartment right above Peter’s for as long as you could remember, so on the night of the party, he helped you sneak out. That’s how you ended up on a rooftop with him, well Spiderman, your bestest friend in the whole wide world. The boy you cared for, the boy you love. He looks good in that suit.
“You ready?” Peter looked at you.
You gave him a smile and small happy nod. “So ready!”
Spiderman scooped you up and swung towards Liz’s house. The wind was blowing across your face and you tightened your grip around Peter. Your heart was beating fast being held by Peter. Thump thump thump. You had your face buried in his chest, afraid to look around too much. How did Peter always smell so nice? Then as just quickly as you were scooped up, you were already safely on the ground. Inside Liz’s house, all eyes were on you and Spiderman.
“Hey everybody what’s up?” Spiderman shouted. Ned excitedly comes over and they fist bump.
The whole crowd is excited, “SPIDERMAN!” there’s excited shouts about Spiderman all around.
“Hey! Do you really know Peter?” Flash yells.
“Yea! He’s awesome, helped me with my web shooters!” Spiderman exclaims. That left Flash gawking.
Once again excited whispers about Spiderman fills the room.
Liz pulls you over, “I cannot believe that just happened!” Liz squeals excitedly.
Me either! You thought to yourself. “Um he can’t stay long, got crime to fight you know?”
“Wow! Of course! This is so cool!”
Eventually Spiderman left and you wondered into the party. Someone offered you a drink and you took it carelessly. When was Peter gunna “arrive?”
When Peter arrived, he couldn’t find you, but when he finally spotted you, he wasn’t happy.
“Peter, you’re staring again.” Ned whispered
“What? Psh! No, I’m n-not!” Peter pulls his gaze away from you and looks down, avoiding eye contact with Ned.
“Yea you are, if you like her, you should just tell her. I mean come on, it’s y/n! Because right now you’re just being creepy.”
“I don’t like y/n, we’re just… just f-friends.” Peter sighs, “…besides, I like Liz.”
“Right, that’s why you glare at every single guy who even tries to talk to y/n.” Ned easily states. “Or that one time when she almost had a date, but you got sick,” Ned threw out air quotes around the word sick, “and she stay-”
Peter cut Ned off, his cheeks flushing red, “What! I do not! Besides those guys aren’t good enough for y/n! I’m just looking out for her.”
“You say you like Liz, but who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself? Because to me, it sure seems like your heart is screaming y/n.” Ned stated like it was the most obvious fact in the world. Ned kept going, but Peter wasn’t paying attention anymore.
Peter sighs and his attention was back over to you across the room. You looked like you were having a great time at your first party. Leaning against the wall, a little tipsy from whatever drink you had been drinking. Flash was flirting with you for sure and whatever he was saying made you giggle. A few strands of your hair fell in front of your face and Flash helped tuck it back behind your ears. What the fuck? Peter’s blood felt like it was boiling, his brow knitted together, and he scowled. It was like someone reached into his chest and squeezed his heart.
Flash was always nice to you, well everyone was nice to you. You were a very likeable person even if you were normally shy. So, when Flash insisted that you hung out with him in this corner of the party, you didn’t really have a good reason not to. Besides, you were having fun and the liquid courage you were drinking made you more daring than usual. The jokes Flash were throwing at you seemed a lot more funnier than usual so you didn’t mind.
It was all just playful banter until you found yourself roughly pinned against the wall. Flash’s face was just inches from yours. Woah! You tried to push him off, but you weren’t as strong as him. Was this how your first kiss was going to be stolen? You were kind of hoping to share that with Peter. It felt like your heart dropped into your stomach and your knees felt weak. You squeezed your eyes shut, tears threatening to spill over, clenched your fists, and braced your body for impact. But suddenly, the weight of Flash was lifted off from you.
“Hey!” Was that Peter? Your mind was too fuzzy to tell for sure.
You slowly opened your eyes and found the back of a very protective, very angry Peter shielding you from Flash. Peter’s so close. You looked down to see that Peter was holding your left hand, your right hand was already balled into the back of his t-shirt. Is the room spinning or what?
“What gives man?!” Flash exclaimed and the yelling match began.
“Keep your hands off y/n!”
“I was just showing her a good time! What? Are you jealous?!”
“You were taking advantage of her!” Peter shouted.
“She wanted it!” That really set Peter off.
Peter instinctively leaned forward to punch Flash, but Ned stopped him, “woah woah! Calm down Peter!”
You were shaking now, maybe it was the alcohol or maybe it was all the yelling, but it wasn’t fun anymore. You tugged on Peter’s shirt and he looked back at you, you had a few tears in your eyes. “I’m I’m, c-can we go home?”
His knitted brows softened at you and he turned around fully to face you, completely ignoring whatever Flash was yelling. He smoothed down your hair and pulled you closer. “Yea let’s get you home.” With that, he started leading you out the party. Well, more like half carry you out, your knees were weak and not actually supporting your body as you moved. It was probably the alcohol.
At some point, you got on Peter’s back and he piggybacked you the rest of the way home. That was nice, Peter was so warm. It was hard to remember, you were dizzy, and everything was blurry. I’ll just close my eyes for a moment.
“Y/n?”
“Hmm?” You sleepily opened your eyes. The two of you were already on the fire escape by your bedroom window when Peter set you down. He climbed in your window and helped you in. Peter set you on the edge of your bed. You looked at him with tired eyes as he searched through your closet for something to get you changed into. He found one of his t-shirts that he had left here, a pair of shorts, and handed that to you. You started tugging on your top without giving it much thought.
Peter quickly spun around, his face red. Woah, don’t look Peter! Don’t look! Y/n is drunk!
You tugged on the bottom of Peter’s shirt when you were done. He turned around to look at you. Seeing you in his t-shirt made his heart melt. His heart felt warm, fuzzy, and full of you. The shirt was a little too big, but you looked adorable. I love you. He pulled you in close for a hug. “Y/n?” He wrapped his arms around you, it felt so safe.
“Yea?” You moved to look at his face, his eyes to search for the secret words that were threatening to spill out.
Peter took a deep breath, inhaling deeply. I can’t take it anymore! “I think, I think I love you.” But you could see it in his eyes, it wasn’t just a thought, all the love and all the actions behind his emotions were there. It was like he was staring into your soul that very moment and you were at a loss for words. “Seeing you with Flash,” Peter sighed, “I got mad, I was soooo jealous. Please say something.” Peter pleaded.
Peter, I love you too! “Wow!” You put your hand on her face, trying so hard to get the right words out, your mind was racing, but it was like you lost your voice for a moment. I can’t even think straight, you’re so close to me right now. “Peter, I love you too!” Finally!
Peter closed his eyes and leaned right in, crashing his lips to yours. You let out a sigh and closed your eyes. He was gentle, his lips were soft moving against yours. Yours were moving to his perfectly. When you finally pulled apart, you were both breathing hard. You both smiled, but you were really feeling the fatigue now. He helped you climb into you bed.
“Hey Pete?”
“Yea?” He said as he gingerly brushed some hair out of your face.
“Can you stay?” You asked looking up into his eyes.
Peter smiled softly and lovingly looked at you, “Of course!” Then he climbed in right next to you. This was where the two of you were meant to be. He wrapped his arms around you and kissed your forehead. “I love you y/n.”
“I love you too Peter.” He held you tight in his arms all night. That feeling you both had, it was definitely more than “just friends.”

Hayrides, Fate, and Fortune Cookies
Summary: “Wow, you’re hot, but I’m pretty sure that’s your wife.” + “You are incredibly hot, and I keep falling in your lap on this hayride. I swear I’m not doing it on purpose. Wow, this is awkward!”
Rating: G for fall fluff. Like the fanfic equivalent of hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon.
Trigger warnings: None unless you count the possibility of getting a toothache from the fluff :)         
A huge thank you to my beta, @looselipswontsinkships . She was swamped with school, yet still managed to look this story over and catch my silly mistakes. Also a shout out to my artist. I had this idea in my head of a beautiful fall aesthetic for my story (which I could never make myself), and look what I got! It’s not only gorgeous but exactly what I was hoping for.
I absolutely adore fall, so I hope you all enjoy this little Captain Swan autumn one shot …
When she woke up that morning, Emma Swan would have never believed that the day would start with a hayride and end with fortune cookies. Of course, she had promised three year old Henry that she would take him to the pumpkin patch in the little coastal town of Storybrooke, Main. The one that all the mom blogs in Portland rated the best pumpkin patch in the area. Peter’s Pumpkins and Pies. In Storybrooke . Ah, she got it. Cute and clever. Or something.
There was so little that she, as an overworked, underpaid single mother, could give to her tiny son. She could at least give him this. She could take pictures of Henry in his cute fall jacket amidst the bright orange pumpkins and post them on Instagram, just like all the other moms.
But then she had awakened to a cold drizzle outside the window and a leaden gray sky. She gently told Henry the weather was just too nasty for the pumpkin patch. Then Henry had dissolved into a puddle of tears on the kitchen floor. Now, Emma wasn’t one of those moms who was ruled by some kind of toddler tyrant. But the thing was, Henry wasn’t that kind of kid. Sure, he had colic the first four months of his life, but it was as if he’d spent all his tears in that brief space of time (though it hadn’t felt brief when she was in the middle of it.) But now Henry was a complacent, easy to please child. His tears that morning were more of the “my little heart is breaking” variety rather than the “I’m going to scream until I get my way” variety.
Emma’s heart broke a little bit too. She was supposed to feel like she didn’t suck at this mom thing for once. So she bundled Henry up in his waterproof jacket with the flannel lining and put his Spiderman boots on his little feet, and prayed the rain would taper off during the 45 minute drive.
For once, Emma’s prayers to anyone up there who would listen were actually answered because by the time she parked in the open field next to Peter’s Pumpkins and Pies, the rain had stopped. However, their feet still made loud squelching sounds as they walked across the soaked grass, and Emma was glad for the rain boots they both wore. The sky was still gray, and the wind that lashed their faces still held a hint of dampness. It also brought the smell of wet, dirty fur downwind from the petting zoo. Not the most pleasant aroma. Emma would have to make sure Henry didn’t notice the barnyard where they kept the animals. The last things she wanted to do was wade through the mud to pet wet, smelly sheep and goats.
“Two please,” Emma said when she reached the ticket booth.
“That’ll be twenty-four dollars,” the plump, cheery woman behind the counter told her.
Emma’s eyebrows rose to her hairline. “Tw-twenty f-four dollars?” she stuttered incredulously.
“That’s right, tickets are twelve dollars a person,” the woman explained, her smile not wavering in the least at Emma’s reaction.
“But, he’s only three,” Emma said, gesturing down to Henry, “does he get in free?”
The woman peered at Henry over the edge of the booth and shrugged apologetically at Emma. “Only guests two and under are free.”
Emma let out a long breath. “A child’s ticket?” she asked hopefully.
“That is the child’s price,” the woman clarified, pointing to a bright sign decorated in fall leaves that announced: Adult Admission at Child’s Price! This weekend only! “Adult tickets are normally sixteen dollars.”
Emma bit her lip as she fished the money out of her pocket. She had promised Henry, but there went pizza for tonight. She guessed it was bologna sandwiches again.
The good thing about the rain was that the crowd was thin. Emma figured that the weather was a blessing in disguise since the weekend’s special deal usually made it a crowded one. Emma was also relieved to see that the petting zoo was down the hill and out of sight of her enthusiastic three year old. Henry was bouncing up and down and swinging their joined hands back and forth.
“What do you want to do first, Henry?” Emma asked, the sight of her son’s joy causing everything else - the weather, the mud, the smells, and the expensive cost of admission - to be pushed far from her mind. “There’s a corn maze, a story barn, a hay ride … oooh, look you can paint your own little pumpkin!”
Emma was relieved to see that everything, including the mini pumpkins to paint, were included in the price of admission. The only thing they would have to pay for was a large pumpkin to take home and carve and maybe a pie. (Okay, she was definitely getting a pie. If pizza was out, she was at least getting a dessert out of all this.)
The next hay ride wasn’t for another fifteen minutes, so they decided to go the story barn where an enthusiastic teenager in overalls and braids was getting ready to read a picture book to the children gathering around on huge logs. Emma grimaced when they took a seat; the logs had apparently soaked up all the rain. Henry scrambled up to stand on top of the log so he could see better over the gathering crowd.
“Henry care-“ the words had barely left Emma’s mouth when Henry’s left Spiderman boot slid out from under him. He pitched backwards, arms pinwheeling in empty air. Emma reached out to grab him, but another set of hands caught him first. “Oh my God, thank you! I –“
Emma’s words failed her then as she looked up into an unfairly attractive face. The man had lustrous dark hair, a finely chiseled jaw covered in delicious looking scruff, and the brightest blue eyes she had ever seen. The eyes were what left her speechless. Then he smiled. A charming, somewhat rakish smile, and then Emma felt herself go hot. She blinked, trying to rouse herself from this stupor. She never let men affect her this way. Ever.
“Be careful there, lad,” he chuckled as he swung Henry up.
He had a British accent, too. Great. If he wasn’t a solid ten before, he sure was now. And he was fit too she could now see as he deposited Henry gently back onto the log (in a seated position this time). His tight jeans, black leather jacket, and gray t-shirt beneath put his toned physique on clear display. The v-neck of the shirt also showed off dark chest hair that made Emma’s throat go dry. He winked at her as he took his seat again on the log behind them.
“Swing me up too!” the little girl next to him squealed. She was an adorable thing with big blonde curls and huge blue eyes that were the same shade as Henry’s rescuer. The man caved immediately to the little girl’s request, and she giggled in delight as he scooped her up and swooped her around in an arc.
“Put her down, Killian!” a woman admonished, though her words had little heat. “The show’s about to start, and you’re blocking everyone’s view!”
The man – Killian, apparently – obeyed the woman’s request immediately, settling the little girl on his knee. It was then that Emma noticed the wedding band glinting in the sun on his left hand. Emma’s heart immediately sank. Sure enough, the woman beside him also had a wedding band with a sparkling diamond solitaire nestled above it. Emma wondered how those rings could sparkle so much on a cloudy day. They must be mocking her.
Emma turned away, putting her arm around Henry to pull him closer as story time began. It was about a misfit pumpkin who was square instead of round, though Emma had a hard time following the plot. She was far too aware of the handsome stranger behind her, and she had to force herself not to glance behind her. He’s with his wife she kept admonishing herself.
The enthusiastic storyteller had Henry giggling in all the right places. She finished up the story with a bow, informing everyone that another hayride was about to leave from the wooden gate directly behind them. It was insane how fast the mob headed in that direction, and Emma held tight to Henry’s hand. They were jostled by overeager children and parents who acted as if this were a ride at Disneyland instead of a flatbed piled with hay. A large man with an ample midsection shoved Emma from behind, propelling her right into … married hottie.
“Oh my God, I’m so sorry!” she exclaimed, her face burning with embarrassment. To make matters worse, her next step sent her sliding through a slick patch of mud, and the stranger had to grasp her by both arms to keep her from falling.
“No harm, love,” he assured as he helped her find her footing again.
“Mommy, hu-wee!” Henry piped up, yanking on her hand.
She shook her head to clear it and saw that the hayride was almost full. She mumbled a thank you to the blue-eyed Brit and hurried after her son. The man’s wife and daughter were already climbing the steps into the hay bed, and he hurried past Emma to assist them. Emma took the opportunity to really look at the woman. She moved with elegance, even when taking her husband’s hand to climb aboard the flatbed. Her light blonde hair was in a fishtail braid that rested over her shoulder. She smiled at the little girl as her husband swung the child up, tickling her as she settled into her mother’s lap. It was a picture of domestic bliss framed with the wooden fence and the trees above covered in red and orange leaves like the covers of those parenting magazines that littered the waiting room at the health department. But she could at least scoff at those, knowing they were fake families made of perfect models. This scene was like salt rubbed right where it would hurt most.
Emma brushed off the melancholy thoughts as she helped Henry up into the hay. She had never been so keenly aware of how scuffed his boots were, how faded his little thrift store jacket. Did everyone on this hayride look at the two of them and feel pity? Or worse, judgment? Emma bit her lip, wondering why the handsome man and his picture perfect family were bothering her so much. She grasped the sides of the flatbed and pulled herself up. She and Henry were the last two on, and the hay was packed with people. Emma hesitated, glancing around for an open spot. Impatient, Henry began to whine and cling to her leg. His weight, combined with the uneven bed of hay and the slight tilt of the vehicle on the rutted trail, sent Emma pitching sideways. She fell into another person, both of them grunting with the impact. Emma braced herself against a strong pair of shoulders and looked up into the shocked blue eyes of the same handsome – unavailable – man as before. What did his wife call him again? Oh right …Killian.
To Emma’s shock, his wife actually laughed as Emma stammered an apology. She had literally fallen into the man’s lap, and her legs were tangled up with his. A blush colored his own cheeks as he grinned at her.
“We’ve got to quit meeting this way,” he teased.
“Stop flirting and let the poor woman go,” his wife admonished with a light slap to his shoulder.
She was either really secure in their relationship, or she was really used to women falling all over her husband. Probably the latter, though most women probably didn’t do it as literally as Emma just had. Emma scooted quickly out of his lap, but still didn’t see a spot for her and Henry. It felt like everyone on the hayride was staring at her.
“Here love,” Killian said, scooting over closer to his wife and slinging his arm over her shoulder, “you and your boy can squeeze in here.”
Emma mumbled a thank you yet again – when had her tongue swollen to twice its size? – and wedged herself between Killian and the back gate of the flatbed. She got Henry situated on her lap just as the tractor lurched forward. She grabbed onto the metal grate next to her to steady herself.
“Killian Jones,” the man at her side officially introduced himself, offering his hand.
“Emma Swan,” she replied, shaking it.
“Elsa Jones,” the other woman said, leaning over Killian to offer her hand to shake as well. The last name snuffed out the tiny flicker of hope that had remained in Emma’s heart. So they were married. “And this,” Elsa Jones added, tickling the little girl in her own lap, “is Bethany.”
“Nice to meet you, Bethany,” Emma told the little girl, “how old are you?”
“Thwee,” the child answered, struggling to hold up the requisite number of fingers.
“What do you know?” Emma said to Henry enthusiastically. “You’re three too, Henry. Say hello to Bethany.”
“Hello,” Henry muttered as if it pained him to do so, then turned his face to bury it in his mother’s chest.
Emma frowned. “What’s up with you, kid? You’re never shy.”
Killian leaned towards her conspiratorially. “Maybe he just has a thing for blondes.”
He waggled his eyes, and Emma wondered what his angle was. Maybe he was referring to his wife? Then again, he had also winked at Emma earlier. The guy’s handsome looks suddenly weren’t affecting her quite the same way. What kind of jerk flirted with another woman right in front of his wife?
Emma pressed her lips together as she purposefully looked away from him. Come on, Emma, a part of her argued, maybe he’s just friendly and doesn’t realize how it comes across. But another part of her argued back that the male gender hadn’t exactly proven itself trustworthy throughout her life. Most were scumbags, weren’t they?
The hay ride took them past a field of cows and another of beautiful horses. Emma and Elsa both chatted with the children about the animals, asking what sounds they made. Elsa laughed and chatted with Emma about the things mothers usually do; the struggles of potty training, the annoying kid shows with songs that get stuck in your head, the infernal stubbornness of three year olds. Emma found it odd that she didn’t include her husband in the parenting equation, and even more strange that he didn’t put in his own antidotes. The cracks were showing in this supposedly perfect little family, but it strangely didn’t bring Emma any satisfaction.
The hayride was incredibly bumpy because of all the rain, much to Emma’s chagrin because she kept falling against the rock-hard chest of the man sitting next to her. The more it happened, the more irritated Emma became and the more apologetic Killian became.
Next they passed a field of pumpkins where families ambled amongst the orange gourds, searching for the perfect one. The children both exclaimed with delight, asking when they would get to choose their own pumpkin. Bethany tugged on her father’s arm, pointing excitedly.
“I see, starfish, pumpkins!” he chuckled, brushing a kiss against her curls.
Emma blinked, her heart playing ping pong with her brain. Who was this guy? Flirtatious jerk? Inattentive husband? Doting father? Emma couldn’t tell.
As they rounded the pumpkin patch, the tractor hit a deep rut and then slid in the mud. For one terrifying moment, the entire thing pitched sideways and everyone on board screamed. The driver corrected, guiding them back onto steady ground with a huge bump. The bump sent Emma careening sideways, and she ended up draped across the chest of Killian Jones, her arms encircling his neck.
She reacted more quickly this time, her “I’m so, so, SO sorry!” now directed at Elsa. The woman, amazingly, still didn’t seem fazed. As a matter of fact, the smile on her face and the light in her eyes almost seemed … delighted?
Emma didn’t want to waste one more minute trying to figure out this little family. As soon as the driver opened the gate, Emma scrambled down from the hayride, balancing Henry on her hip. Her son, however, wasn’t cooperating with her attempt at a quick getaway. At some point during the hay ride, Bethany had apparently become his new best friend. She squealed and grabbed his hand as soon as her family climbed down.
“We wanna do the maze!” Bethany shouted.
“The maze! The maze!” Henry echoed her, jumping up and down.
Then the two of them were off like a shot towards the nearby field of tall corn.
“Don’t get too far ahead!” Elsa shouted after them.
“You’ll get lost in there, Henry!” Emma called out as she and her new friend jogged down the hill after them.
“I’ve got them!” Killian assured, passing them with his longer strides. He grabbed up both kids easily, one in each arm, and they both giggled with delight. He turned towards Emma and Elsa with a wink then set the kids down at the entrance to the maze marked “easy.”
Elsa and Emma slowed their pace, following Killian and the children into the maze. Elsa gave her an almost mischievous smile before leaning over to speak to her in a low voice.
“I think he likes you.”
Emma’s eyes grew wide as saucers and her mouth hung open at the other woman’s words. She glanced over at Killian, then back to Elsa, then blinked rapidly. “He, you mean Killian? As in your … your … husband?” She practically whispered the last word.
Elsa’s eyebrows flew to her hairline before she tilted her head back and let out a long, hearty laugh. Emma narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, failing to see why being invited into some weird open marriage scenario was so hilarious to this woman.
“Oh my God, no!” Elsa laughed, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. “I guess I can see how you thought that. We should have been clearer when we introduced ourselves. Killian’s my brother-in-law .”
“Ohhh …” Emma said, trailing off, feeling like she’d just gotten mental whiplash, “but he is married. I saw the ring.”
The smile fell from Elsa’s face as she shook her head, “I’ve told him so many times to take that ring off. He says he can’t bear to, but I think it’s sort of a way to protect his heart, you know? Women assume, like you did, so they stay away.”
Emma tilted her head as her gaze landed on Killian again. He grabbed Bethany before she could dash off in the opposite direction from Henry, tickling her as he tossed her over his shoulder.
“What happened to his wife?”
Elsa sighed. “It was a brain tumor. By the time they found it, the cancer was too advanced. He only had Milah for about four months after the diagnosis. That was four years ago.”
Emma groaned and covered her face with her hands, “God, I feel horrible now.”
Elsa chuckled. “I understand now why you got a little prickly back there. You thought my husband was hitting on you.” She laughed again as if being married to Killian was the funniest, most preposterous scenario. “I mean, he’s a great guy, but he and Liam – my husband – couldn’t be more different. I guess steady and serious is more my type.”
They walked in silence for a moment. They could no longer see Killian or the kids, but they could hear the children’s giggles around the corner and followed the sound.
“Liam is in the navy,” Elsa explained, “and when he was deployed eight months ago, Killian moved here to help with Bethany.”
“Wow,” Emma said, feeling even worse about the assumptions she had made, “that’s a rare guy.”
“Yeah,” Elsa agreed, “that’s why I want to see him move on from his grief.” She stopped and turned to Emma with an earnest expression. “That’s why I was so happy the second he winked at you back at the story barn. I haven’t seen him flirt with a woman that way in so long. And he blushed ten shades of red when you landed in his lap.”
Emma groaned. “Twice. I landed in his lap twice.”
Elsa nudged her shoulder. “Maybe it was fate giving you a little push.”
The “easy” corn maze took far longer than Emma would have expected, and they were all hot, sweaty, and hungry by the time they found their way out. The clouds had rolled away, revealing a bright blue sky, and the temperature had risen with it. Henry had shed his jacket long ago, leaving Emma to lug it around along with her own.
“Why do people think these things are fun?” Emma quipped as they exited the corn field, and Elsa and Killian both laughed in agreement.
“And that was the easy one!” Elsa said with a shake of her head.
“Let’s get some food into these little ones, shall we?” Killian asked, gesturing to a food truck that had been parked along the tree line with wooden picnic benches set up in front of it.
“The little ones?” Emma laughed. “ I’m starving.”
“Uh, why don’t I take the kids and get us a table?” Elsa suggested. “And you two go get the food?”
Emma had only just met the woman, but she was no fool. She noticed the slight tilt of Elsa’s head in Killian’s direction as she locked eyes with Emma. Then she was corralling the kids towards the tables, assuming the other two adults would follow her orders.
“How she and my brother don’t fight twenty four seven is beyond me,” Killian commented with a shake of his head. “They both like bossing people around.”
Emma laughed as they made their way to the food truck. When they joined the long line of people waiting to order, she cleared her throat nervously and shuffled her feet.
“I owe you an apology,” she finally blurted out.
Killian’s brow furrowed. “Miss Swan, you really need to stop apologizing. It was crowded and bumpy –“
She waved her hand to stop him. “I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about … .” she searched for the right words and finally settled on the one Elsa had used earlier, “being prickly.”
He cocked his head at her. “Prickly?”
She let out a long breath. “I was sort of rude. I … I thought you and Elsa were married.”
He gave a small chuckle but didn’t dissolve into laughter as Elsa hand. Instead he lifted his left hand and fiddled with the ring resting there. “I can’t fault you for being confused, love. And if you were right, I would definitely be worthy of your cold shoulder.”
“Are you always so eloquent?” Emma asked, stuffing her hands in her pockets.
He laughed and scratched behind his ear. “So I’ve been told.”
“So I’m forgiven?”
His smile broadened. “Of course.”
They shuffled forward in the slow moving line, and Emma gazed across the field where Elsa sat at a picnic table. Henry was chasing Bethany in circles nearby.
“Elsa explained it all to me,” she told him quietly.
“About why I’m tagging along with their little family or why I’m still wearing a wedding ring?” he asked bluntly.
Emma shrugged. “Both.”
He nodded, staring down at the ring and twirling it around his finger. “It was hard for me to be around them at first. I know it hurt Liam; he was so excited when Bethany was born. But all it did was remind me of what I had lost.” He looked up and met Emma’s gaze. “Milah was pregnant when they found the tumor. Our child and Bethany would have been about the same age.”
Emma frowned as her heart sank. “That’s awful. I’m so sorry.”
He released a sigh as he rubbed his chin. “But it was wrong of me to stay away. I see that now. When Liam shipped out, I was going nowhere, doing nothing with my life. The least I could do was be here for my family when they needed me. Being around Bethany has been the best medicine for my soul, you know? I love that little starfish with all I have.”
Emma smiled. “Kids can do that. Henry is the only good thing to come from a very painful time in my life.”
Killian frowned. “I’m sorry, Emma. Is his father in his life at all?”
Emma shook her head. “No. He doesn’t deserve to be. Let’s just say he took advantage of me, then left me.” She pressed her lips together, hoping Killian didn’t ask for more of the story. She was shocked she had told him that much.
He reached down and gently took her hand. “He must be the world’s biggest idiot, then,” he told her softly, giving her fingers a tiny squeeze.
Emma felt a blush stain her cheeks even as she rolled her eyes. “Smooth.”
Killian wiggled his eyebrows. “It was rather, wasn’t it?” he quipped, making her laugh.
By that point, they had reached the truck. Emma looked over the menu, which was filled with typical country fair type refreshments: funnel cakes, corn dogs, French fries, and candy apples. Emma’s heart sank as she looked at the inflated prices, imagining the tiny wad of cash remaining in the front pocket of her jeans.
“It’s on me, Swan,” Killian said as he stepped up to the window, pulling his wallet from the inside pocket of his jacket. “Anything you and your boy would like.”
“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” Emma protested.
He smiled gently at her. “I know I don’t have to. I want to.”
Emma hated charity, but the way Killian spoke so sincerely, the way his gaze rested warmly on her, it didn’t feel like charity at all. She gave a simple nod, then gave the employee in the window her order. They made their way back to Elsa and the kids laden down with five corn dogs, four orders of fries, an order of onion rings, and five cans of soda. Killian helped her hand everything out, and they all sat down. Elsa and Emma went to work immediately cutting the kids’ corn dogs into bite size pieces.
“Onion rings, not fries,” Killian pointed out before taking a sip of his drink, “I’ll file that information away, love.”
Emma shook her head, hating the way he could so easily make her blush as she concentrated on Henry’s corn dog. She cleared her throat. “Who says you’ll need it?”
He arched one brow and smirked. “A man can hope.”
Elsa smiled delightedly at the pair of them, no doubt praising herself for her matchmaking skills.
          *********************************************************
After eating, the kids wanted to go to the pumpkin painting booth. Each child got a complimentary tiny pumpkin to paint. Being typical three year olds, both children were too stubborn to let Elsa or Emma assist them. Little Bethany poked her tongue out of the corner of her mouth as she carefully dabbed blue and yellow polka dots all over her pumpkin. Her circles were blotchy and misshapen, but for three, it was extremely impressive. Henry, on the other hand, insisted on covering his pumpkin sloppily in every color available.
“She’s really good at this,” Emma commented, gesturing to Bethany’s handiwork.
Elsa grinned and elbowed Killian in the ribs. “It’s in her genes, isn’t it?”
“You’re an artist?” Emma asked as Killian scratched behind his ear. She was beginning to wonder if it was a nervous tic of his.
“I dabble,” he admitted with a shrug.
“Dabble?” Elsa snorted with a roll of her eyes. Then she looked at Emma and explained, “he’s a graphic artist.”
“Well,” Killian explained, gesturing to the table before them, “I was referring to the paint. I dabble with painting. The computer stuff is my job. But drawing and painting? That’s my hobby.”
Emma smiled with appreciation at him, then frowned down at Henry’s pumpkin. The colors had all mixed together into a nasty brown. “Well, I can’t say there are any artistic genes in my family.”
Henry turned with a broad grin to show off his pumpkin, and Killian hid a laugh behind his hand. Emma shrugged as she praised Henry’s effort. Oh well, maybe her kid would have other talents, right?
The employees manning the booth lined up all the pumpkins to dry on a shelf behind them, jotting the kids’ names on paper towels. They were informed that they could pick up the dried projects on their way out in about half an hour, so the five of them headed for the pumpkin patch.
“We’re avoiding the petting zoo,” Elsa whispered in Emma’s ear conspiratorially.
“Oh, I’m with you on that one,” Emma whispered back.
“I mean, it rained this morning,” Elsa continued, wrinkling her nose, “do you know how bad those animals are going to smell?”
Emma laughed, “I know, right?”
She remembered reading Anne of Green Gables as a kid. Tried to read it, anyway. The librarian at her middle school thought it would be perfect for Emma; the story of an unwanted orphan finding an unlikely family. The librarian was wrong. Emma Swan had never met a Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, had never been as optimistic as Anne Shirley, and she had certainly never had any friends who were “kindred spirits.” But now, here with Elsa? She was re-thinking the possibility of such things.
The kids raced through the rows of pumpkins, thumping them with their hands like giant drums. Elsa chose a medium sized pumpkin to make a pie, tucking it under her arm. Emma just stood there, looking up and down the rows with a frown on her face.
“Something wrong, love?” Killian asked.
Emma shrugged with a wry laugh. “Never been to a pumpkin patch before. I’ve always just gotten them at the grocery store.”
Killian nodded, shoving his hands in his pockets. “The first time I ever went was with Milah after we’d been married about a year.” He pushed a pumpkin idly with his toe before meeting her gaze. “Not many foster parents take the time you know. Never even carved a pumpkin until Liam and I were on our own.”
Emma blinked, shocked to recognize the shame in his eyes. “Foster parents?”
Killian nodded. “Mum died when I was so young, I don’t remember her. Papa just up and left. So …”
Emma bit her lip. “Similar story,” she admitted, “I guess. Thing is, I don’t even know who my parents were or why they abandoned me.”
They were quiet for a long moment, and Emma was relieved to see only understanding, not pity in Killian’s eyes. Then he gave her a soft smile and reached out to twirl a lock of her hair around his finger.
“Well Swan, you never forget your first,” he told her with a smirk.
Emma gaped. “Excuse me?”
He laughed. “First pumpkin that is.”
Emma rolled her eyes and smacked him in the shoulder. “You’re awful.”
“You think I’m cute, admit it,” he teased, sauntering into her personal space.
Emma swallowed hard as she tilted her head to look up at him. The sun overhead sparkled in his blue eyes and his smile crinkled the corners of his eyes.
“Are you two ever going to pick a pumpkin, or are you just going to keep flirting?”
Elsa’s voice snapped them both out of it, and Killian rushed over to hoist the large carving pumpkin that his sister-in-law was attempting to juggle with the pie pumpkin. Killian turned back to Emma, his expression looking a bit bashful as his tongue swiped across his lower lip nervously.
“We’re having a get together tonight,” Killian began, “for Elsa’s sister’s birthday. It’s real casual; just ordering some Chinese and then having a bonfire. We … we would love to have you. And Henry, of course.”
“That’s a great idea!” Elsa exulted, smiling broadly. “Bethany and Henry have obviously hit it off, and we always order way too much food.”
“Um …” Emma hedged, her gaze darting from Killian to Elsa and back again.
A part of her wanted to say yes. She had only just met these two, and they already felt like such great friends. But the other part of her, the cautious part, latched onto the fact that she had just met these people . Wasn’t this the part in movies where the naïve young mother gets taken in by the seemingly friendly couple who are actually serial killers? Or she accepts a friendly offer only to find herself escorted to the compound of some weird cult?
Emma shook her head before the words were even out of her mouth. “It’s such a long drive to the city. We really shouldn’t.”
Killian glanced at his wristwatch. “It’s three already, and we’re eating at six. You can just come on over and visit until everyone arrives.”
“You’ll love Anna and her husband,” Elsa insisted.
Emma looked into both their faces, so friendly, so open. In Killian’s eyes, and in their conversations, she also felt a deep connection that she couldn’t explain. But instead of those things comforting her, they only freaked her out more.
“I really can’t,” she said firmly.
Neither of them could hide their disappointment. Killian’s shoulders sagged and he dropped his head to stare at the pumpkin in his arms. When he lifted his gaze to Emma’s, his expression was almost pleading.
“It was wonderful meeting you, Swan. Perhaps … I could get your number?”
Emma felt her heart thudding in her chest, the air suddenly tight in her lungs. They had too much in common, too much shared tragedy. He would expect things to get serious, and that terrified her.
“I … don’t think that’s a good idea.” She averted her gaze when she saw the clear hurt in his eyes.
“Well,” he said with a resigned sigh, “let me help Elsa get these to the car, and I’ll come back and carry yours for you.”
“No, don’t do that,” Emma told him quickly. She feared if she was in this man’s presence for one more minute, her resolve might crumble. “We may be awhile yet. First pumpkin, remember? Gotta make it a good one.”
The smile he gave her was forced, and Elsa laid a hand on his arm as they walked away. Emma remembered her words earlier, I haven’t seen him flirt with a woman that way in so long. He had finally put himself out there, and Emma had crushed him. After they disappeared over the hill, Emma collapsed onto an enormous pumpkin behind her.
“Mo-mmy!” Henry exclaimed, pulling on her hand. “Why you sittin?”
Emma looked at her son wearily. “Because Mommy feels like dirt, that’s why.”
She let Henry pull her to her feet, and she wandered aimlessly among the pumpkins. Henry didn’t seem to mind her stupor, content to run around, climbing on pumpkins and using them like bongo drums. She finally snapped out of it and helped Henry pick a pumpkin for them to carve. One that wasn’t too big or too small and was nice and round. When she hoisted it into her arms, she regretted turning down Killian’s offer to come back and carry it for her. Thankfully, an employee came over to assist her, pushing a wheelbarrow.
It wasn’t until Emma had paid for the pumpkin with the last of the cash in her pocket and had the employee lift it into her backseat that she remembered the tiny pumpkin Henry had painted. She contemplated leaving it, considering that it looked like it had been rolled in doggy poo, but then she thought about what would happen if Henry remembered it. She might have a meltdown on her hands, especially since he hadn’t had a nap today. She sighed wearily, took Henry’s hand, and headed back to the painting booth.
Emma smiled at the workers and thanked them as they handed her Henry’s brown-smudged pumpkin. As she turned to go, Henry’s exclamation stopped her.
“Mommy, look!”
Her son was holding up a pink polka dot Minnie Mouse backpack. On the table next to him was the adorable polka dotted pumpkin Bethany had painted earlier. Emma gasped and took the backpack from her son’s hand. She remembered Elsa carrying it around all day, even complaining how she couldn’t get Bethany to wear it. She examined the pack, looking for a tag with an address, but she could find nothing. She zipped it open, and there, written in black sharpie on the inside cover was, “Property of Bethany Jones, 1245 Sweet Haven Lane, Storybrooke, ME.”
“Henry,” Emma said to her little boy with a smile on her face, “I think fate just gave me another push.”
                    ***********************************************************
Emma’s GPS told her to take another right turn, then announced that her destination was on the left. Emma parked along the curb, leaning to look out of the window of her yellow bug at the adorable blue Victorian house at 1245 Sweet Haven Lane.
“I hung-wee, Mommy,” Henry told her from the backseat.
“I know, kid,” Emma told him as she unbuckled her seat belt, “we might be eating in just a minute.” If they still want us, that is.
Emma helped Henry out of his car seat and onto the curb. She grabbed Bethany’s things from the front passenger seat, then took Henry’s hand as they walked up the front steps of the beautiful house. It was a little after six, and dusk was falling. The porch lights were already glowing beside the quaint front door. Emma took a deep breath and knocked.
The door swung open a few moments later, and Emma’s breath left her lungs when she saw Killian Jones standing there. Thankfully, he smiled when he saw her.
“Swan! You changed your mind?”
Emma returned his smile and lifted the backpack up for him to see. “I found this after you left. Your address was inside.”
“Oh,” Killian said, his face falling as he accepted the bag, “thank you.”
“The pumpkin she painted is inside.”
“Uncle Ki-wee!” a small voice called, and then Bethany Jones was colliding with her uncle’s leg. “My bag!” she squealed, grabbing it and hugging it to her chest. “Hen-we!” she exclaimed next, launching herself at her new friend.
“Beffy!” Henry shouted in return.
Before Emma could say anything, Bethany was pulling Henry inside and tugging him down the hall. She shouted as she ran, “They came, Mommy! It worked!”
Killian’s jaw dropped and his face turned red. He pointed at his niece’s retreating form. “I did not plan this, I swear. This was all Elsa’s doing.”
Emma smiled shyly up at him. “I don’t mind. I’m kind of glad, actually.”
He grinned so wide, Emma noticed for the first time that he had dimples. “So you’ll stay?”
She shrugged, trying to play it cool. “I do like Chinese food.”
Killian ushered her inside, where she was promptly enveloped in a hug from Elsa.
“Don’t be mad,” she whispered in Emma’s ear.
Emma smiled at her as she pulled away from her embrace. “Mad? I might just thank you.”
Elsa gave a relieved laugh as she pulled her gently into a formal dining room. A red head walked through an archway that led into the kitchen, carrying two cartons of take out. She actually waddled more than walked because she was very hugely pregnant.
“Emma,” Elsa said eagerly, pulling her across the room, “this is my sister Anna.”
The woman set the cartons of fried rice onto the table and then hugged Emma eagerly. “It is so nice to meet you! Elsa told me all about everything,” she finished with a wink.
Emma could only stammer and blush as Anna stepped away. A man with dirty blonde hair came through the archway next, carrying plastic containers of sweet and sour chicken.
“So who was at the door?” he asked as he came into the room, not really paying attention. “Was it that blonde Killian has a crush on?”
Killian walked in the room at the same moment from the hallway, and he stood there, the top of his ears turning red. Bethany was wrapped around his left leg, and Henry around his right. Both were giggling delightedly. Overall, it made an adorable picture.
“Kristoff!” Anna admonished over her shoulder, then quickly turned back to Emma. “Forgive my husband, he has no filter.”
“Says the girl who asked me why I smelled like wet fur the day she met me,” Kristoff grumbled.
Anna rolled her eyes. “Just go get the soy sauce, honey.”
Chastised, Kristoff shuffled back to the kitchen. Elsa shook her head. “Don’t mind them, their cutting banter is their idea of foreplay.”
Anna laughed as she eased herself awkwardly into a dining room chair. “As you can clearly see,” she said, rubbing her large abdomen.
“When are you due?” Emma asked politely.
“Not for another month,” Anna said on a long sigh, “and I know, I’m huge.”
“You look perfect,” Kristoff assured her as he returned with the condiments.
He leaned over and planted a kiss to her forehead. Anna tilted her head and smiled up at him, squeezing the hand that rested on her shoulder. Emma had to admit they were an adorable couple.
Elsa encouraged everyone to take a seat, adamant about who sat where. Therefore, Emma wasn’t surprised to end up on Killian’s right with Henry on the other side of her. Food was passed around amidst easy chatter, and Emma just soaked it in. The only time she ever had this as a kid was with that one family when she was fourteen. Then they had chosen their “real kids” over her, and she had run away.
“So Elsa said you live in Portland,” Kristoff said, making small talk to include her. “What do you do?”
“Oh, um … “ Emma hedged, squirming in her seat, “right now I’m just a temp, filling in here and there.”
She stared at her fried rice, hoping her answer didn’t make her sound irresponsible. Giving birth in jail at 18 wasn’t exactly conducive to higher education, and even though she had worked her butt off once she got out to be able to keep Henry, employers weren’t exactly jumping to give her a chance.
“That’s so funny,” Elsa laughed, “I was working at a temp agency when I met Kristoff. I would never have offered him a home cooked meal if I had known he would steal away my sister.”
Emma laughed along with them as they reminisced, relieved that no one was pressing her about her career plans. Until Elsa turned to her again.
“Have you thought of online college?” she asked. “That’s what I did while working as a temp. Anna and I lost our parents when I was a freshman in college, and it drastically changed both our plans.”
“I’m sorry,” Emma said softly.
Killian leaned over, “Welcome to the orphan’s club.”
Emma glanced around the table at all of the welcoming faces around her, and for the first time since she pulled up to the curb in front of the house, she relaxed. The conversation shifted to lighter topics, and Emma found herself smiling and laughing.
“Killian!” Anna gasped, reaching across the table to grasp his left hand which was reaching for another helping of rice, “You took off your wedding ring!”
“Um, aye,” he said awkwardly, pulling his hand from her grip and scratching behind his ear. He glanced at Emma and held her gaze as he explained. “It felt like it was finally time to move on.”
“Oh, I’m so happy!” Anna gasped, both hands flying to her face and tears filling her eyes. She grabbed her napkin and dabbed at her cheeks as they spilled over. “Sorry, pregnancy hormones you know.”
“Mommy,” Bethany piped up, tugging on Elsa’s sleeve, “when we get mashmell-os?”
Elsa rubbed her daughter’s back. “In just a little bit, sweetie.”
“I think we’re all done, right?” Kristoff asked. “All we have to do is toss the paper plates and put away the leftovers.”
“Yay!” Bethany cheered.
“Wait!” Anna said. She reached for a small bowl full of cellophane wrapped fortune cookies. “It’s a birthday tradition, you know. Choose a cookie.”
“We all have to go around and read our fortunes out loud,” Killian explained.
“Oh,” Emma said with a nod as she reached into the bowl as it was passed to her.
“Birthday girl first!” Anna squealed, then broke open her cookie. She read it silently, then burst out laughing. “A great change is coming your way.”
Everyone laughed along with her, and Elsa quipped, “Believe me, you have lots of changes in your future, most of them smelly ones. Right, Emma?”
“Okay,” Anna said, rubbing her hands together gleefully, “I choose Killian to go next.” She exchanged a delighted glance with her sister then added in a sing-song voice, “I hope it’s a good one!”
Killian just shook his head at the teasing as he cracked open his fortune cookie. As he read the tiny slip of paper, however, the blood seemed to drain from his face, and his eyes widened considerably. He just sat there for a long moment, staring at it.
“Well,” Anna pressed, leaning across the table and craning her neck to try to see his fortune, “what does it say?”
“Nothing,” Killian said with a shake of his head, “just your generic good luck sentiment, you know.”
“Killian,” Elsa admonished with a narrowing of her eyes, “that’s not how the tradition works and you know it. Read the fortune, Jones.”
Killian swallowed as red crept up his neck. Then he cleared his throat and read, “Kiss the person to your right.”
Every pair of eyes at the table swiveled towards Emma. Except Killian, who stared down at his plate.
“No way!” Kristoff argued. “It doesn’t say that. Let me see!”
He reached across the table and snatched the fortune. Upon reading it, he handed it to his wife. Her jaw dropped.
“That’s really what it says!”
The fortune was passed around until it got to Emma. Sure enough, Killian wasn’t making it up. Emma’s face burned as she slid the paper over to Killian, their fingertips brushing. She ever so slowly lifted her gaze to his. He gave her a sheepish smile and an apologetic shrug.
“Well, kiss her!” Anna insisted. Her sister and her husband added their encouragement as well.
Emma could see that Killian was conflicted. So she arched a brow and gave him a flirty smile as she said, “Well, how about it? You gonna kiss me or just sit there?”
There was a combination of cheering and clapping from the others, even Bethany and Henry, though they probably had no idea what was going on. Killian chuckled and ducked his head, rubbing a hand across the back of his neck. Then his eyes met hers again, and he leaned towards her. But just before his lips could connect with hers, he changed his angle and brushed them across her cheek instead. Emma was simultaneously disappointed and amazed at how that simple brush of his lips sent a thrill all the way to the core of her. A groan resounded from the others but Emma gave him a tender smile. Though part of her wanted him to kiss her properly, she knew it would have been awkward with everyone, including her three year old watching. He reached out with his thumb and brushed it across the dimple in her chin. It was only a quick, light touch, but it made her heart flip anyway.
          *************************************************
After the fortune cookies, Kristoff and Killian got a bonfire going in the backyard, and everyone gathered around to roast marshmallows. There was also a chocolate cake for Anna’s birthday. Both Kristoff and Killian could play the guitar, and Elsa was an amazing singer. Emma had never heard a better rendition of the birthday song. Then the guys took requests, readily singing and playing whatever was thrown their way, even the PJ Masks theme song (as requested by Henry and Bethany, of course). It showed what good uncles they both were to Bethany that the men already knew all the words.
Now Henry was asleep in Killian’s arms as he walked them to her yellow bug. He gently placed the child in his car seat, and Emma’s heart ached in her chest as Killian smoothed her son’s hair across his forehead. Emma put her hand in her pocket and fingered the fortune she had gotten: When fate gives you a sign, leap.
“Can I ask you something?” she asked as Killian stood and gently shut the car door.
“Sure.”
“Was that kiss really the best that you could do?” her mouth turned up flirtatiously as she said it.
A slow smile filled Killian’s face as well. He sauntered into her personal space as he answered. “Perhaps I was worried that you couldn’t handle it.”
Emma tilted her head as she bit her lower lip. She saw Killian’s eyes drift to stare at that spot, his pupils dilating. “Maybe you’re the one who couldn’t handle it.”
He pounced on her so suddenly, that Emma let out a yelp. It was quickly swallowed up, however, by his mouth on hers. The kiss was deep and aggressive, and it caused Emma to lose her balance. Killian cupped her cheek with one hand and steadied her at the waist with the other. He turned her slightly to pin her between the bug and his body. Emma snaked her arms up his chest and then grasped the back of his head with both hands. It was his turn now as she kissed him back with ferocity, a groan escaping from his throat.
When they finally parted, panting, they were both wobbling slightly and disoriented. They pressed their foreheads together to steady themselves.
“Now that,” Emma gasped, “was a kiss.”
He chuckled, brushing both of her cheeks with his thumbs as he cupped her face. He bent down to kiss her again, this one slow and languid. His fingers drifted to her hair, tangling there and tugging slightly. It took every ounce of willpower Emma had to push him away, and even then she chased his lips, brushing them chastely before reaching behind her and grasping the door handle.
“Good night,” she told him as she opened the car door.
“Wait …” he said, looking completely wrecked by their kisses.
Emma put two fingers to his lips to stop his words, then with her other hand, she pressed a tiny slip of paper into his palm. Then she quickly entered the bug, started the car, and drove away. She glanced in her rearview mirror only once to see him standing in the street, staring down at that tiny bit of paper. She tore her gaze away as she turned at the next stop sign.
Suddenly, her cell phone started ringing. Emma picked it up and grinned broadly to see an unknown number flashing on the screen. She cleared her throat and took a deep breath so that when she answered, she sounded calm.
“Hello.”
“You know, a lesser man might think you were teasing, Swan. Writing your number on such an itty bitty piece of paper.”
“Well,” Emma teased back, “I wanted you to work for it.”
“When can I see you again?”
The timbre of Killian’s voice when he asked the question sent a shiver down Emma’s spine.
“When are you available?”
“Well, we’ve already been on a hayride, solved a corn maze, been to a pumpkin patch, and had a bonfire. How about we continue the fall clichés and carve said pumpkins together? Could you and Henry be here tomorrow afternoon? Or do you work Sundays?”
Emma didn’t know what touched her more; that he wanted to see her again so soon, that he was including Henry, or that he had chosen a casual activity. It took her so long to get herself together, that Killian got nervous waiting on the other end.
“Swan, you still there?”
Emma cleared her throat. “Um, yeah, sorry. I was just … thinking that tomorrow is perfect.”
Over the next few weeks, Killian insisted that they check off every fall tradition together. In addition to carving pumpkins, they watched a Storybrooke High football game cuddled underneath a fuzzy blanket, jumped into a pile of leaves, bobbed for apples at the Storybrooke Fall Festival, and took Henry and Bethany trick or treating. By the time Emma found herself gathered around the dining room table once again for Thanksgiving with Killian’s family, she had decided one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Fall was definitely her favorite season.

Love me, if you will. ~ P.P
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summery: Ella is the queen bee at school, and Peter Parker is completely in love with her. What he doesn't know is that she has a secret just like his. The only person who can solely defeat thanos, is her.
Please don't steal any of this it is based on a fanfic that I'm wrighting.
Will probably do a part two, depending on how many notes this gets.
Set during infinity war
⚠: Fluff, Violence, swearing, adorable Peter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ella Ross, popular, beautiful, powerful. Completely infaturated with Peter Parker.
Peter Parker, adorable, dorky, determind. Completely infaturated with Ella Ross.
Ella was sat on a bus, not the most exciting places to be. Her bright eyes were trained to a certain dork, her red hair waving in the breeze. Her red high heels were hung over the chair In front, her slim legs perfectly posed.
Her cherry lipstick remained perfect as her white teeth bit into her lip.
She now sat, with her head on the window her eyes far away.
It was then Peter looked at her, admiring the way green eyes glitterd in the sun, and her red hair fell into her eyes, so she would reach up and her acrylic nails would brush it away.
Ella was lost in her thoughts when she head Ned shout " Oh my god, we're all gonna die."
Ella rolled her eyes, until she saw the giant circular spaceship hovering over the city.
And Peter Parker sneaking out the window
Ella's eyes flashed silver and she crept passed her wide eyed classmates, who were pressed up agianst the glass in wonder.
" Oh no you don't spiderman, you're not dying on me just yet"
And with that she pressed the tattoo behind her ear, and within a flash, she was out the window.
Her costume itself was.....different.
Her face was covered in a black mask, with an electric blue streak crossing from her left eyebrow down to her right point in her jawbone. The mask was connected to her suit, which was black leather as well. The zip was a matching electric blue. The leather suit ended in shorts. Her thighs were were partly coverd in black fishnets that too, were streaked in blue. On her feet, were thigh high boots. They were shiny black, but the seven inch heals were electric blue.
Her eyes were now liquid silver, no white and large pupil.
She lept after Peter, but landed inside the spaceship rather than on it.
She had a habit of shifting through things rather than landing on them. It was one of her thirteen powers.
Ella just sat on one of the beams, practically invisible in the dim light.
"Woah Mr Stark it smells like a new car in hear" Ella giggled at Peter's voice outside, her eyes flashing pink
------------
It had been a while, and Mr Stark and Peter were staring down at Thanos' Minion.
Ella rolled her eyes. She'd show them.
However before she could get down Iron Man lept into action taking Peters disbolical action plan.
Ella rolled her eyes and stared at Peter who jumped from the balcony type thing.
" Yeah, but the kid's seen more movies" was all Iron man said.
But as the whole in the ship was created, Thanos' minion mended it and threw Peter against the wall.
Iron man stepped back. " Uh oh"
Then Ella lept into action. Hissing like a cat, she lept infront of Tony facing...she decided to call him squidward.
" They call my Siren Fox. Nice to meet you squidward."
Squidward bounced into action, objects around him lifting pointing to Ella Peter, Tony and steven.
" Move" he said " I dare you."
Ella shrugged. " well, being the daughter of the princess of calotone has it perks. Including these "
She rolled her neck and thirteen gems appeared.
"These are matter stones. There are thirteen of them, and they chose their owner. Their power can overcome the infinity stones.But they have there own Minds.
"The first life is life, she heals and brings back the death" The replica of Ella lept from the white stone necklacs on Ellas chest. Life was the exact replica of Ella except her eyes were solid white, like marble. Her suit was a flowy white dress, with slip on white shoes.
" The next is Voice. She can scream and kill you, or manipulate you by singing" Voice joined Life by circling squidward, who seemed tranfixed. Voice had a short skirt and skin tight top, with converse. Her eyes matched her outfit, fluorescent pink.
" The next is flexibility. She's something that manovers a lot" Flexability was in a leather suit, much like Ellas, but a burgundy colour. Her eyes were bright burgundy as well.
" The next is speed. She can run like the wind." Speed was in shorts and vest with trainers that matched her amethyst eyes. Speed sped to suidward, laughing at the confusion on his face.
" The next is strength. Stronger than thr hulk, than any other being" Strength was in a playsuit and heeled boots, her topaz eyes alight with excitment. Strength was careful anx calculating, and walked over to Peter to lift the heavy weight of his legs. Life then healed him with the touch of her fingers, which glowed white.
" The next is emotion. She can control people's minds and make them feel" Emotion was bubbly. One eye was bright yellow, the other a navy blue. Her suit was like a swimming costume with shorts. It was navy blue with a star patten along the hips, like a belt. She stood by Iron Man, who just blinked at her.
" Did she just take away my fear? " He asked.
Ella nodded. " If she likes you she'll help you."
" The next is fire. She'll burn down anything or create warmth. She goes hand in hand wirh water, who can create and control anythibg to do with water. Earth tends to follow these around constantly. She can make flowers grow or talk to animal or create lethal weapons. Air is all around us, she can give, or take away. Leaving you helpless "
Fire was orange. Her bright orange, off the shoulder, floor length gown matched her flame like eyes. Her lips were drawn up in half a smirk. Water was in a wearing a baby blue dress. It had frills at the bottom were it ended just above her knees, and thin spaghetti straps. Her eyes were baby blue with a water droplet were the pupil should be. Earth was....different. One eye was a muddy brown the other a vibrent green. She was wearing a floor length gown, a green silk with bronze leaves that matches her eyes. Air's eyes were beautiful, they were a faint blue- almost white - and matched her daint faint blue dress that reached mid thigh. She had pale blue knee high socks with little clouds at the top. On her feet were pale blue tennis shoes. Air looked nicer than her fellow elements.
" The next is sence. She's good at heightening your senses, and know when danger is coming " Sense was a fuschia colour in jeans and pink shirt that matched her fuschia coloured eyes. She was chewing bubblegum and skipping around the room in pink converse, admiring everything in the room.
" The next is energy. She is bright, can create light or work together with life and speed." Energy was honey- bee yellow, in a bright child like dress, and yellow converse. Her eyes were matching her clothes.
" The last is death. She kills anything " death's face was hidden by a black hood, only her golden eyes visible. She was in a long black coat that reached her knees, with fishnet tights and gold 10 inch heals. She stared at squidward, and cocked her head.
Squidward smirked. " Nice show. Thanos will be ever so pleased that his d-"
Voice screamed. The sound was deafening makibg the furniture rattle. Everyone clutched their ears except Ella who stood calmly.
Death stretched out her hand. Dark smoke engulfed squidward who's eyes widened in fear. Blood started pooring out of his eyes, non existence nose and ears. The smoke wound up until he was no longer visible.
Ella smiled sadly, and clapped her hands. All of the stones went back into her suit. She turned to Peter, who's mask was still on, blood oozing through it. Ella crouched over to him.
" I need you to take your mask off spiderman" Peter panicked. If his mask was off she'd know who he was! He shuffled away, stumbling to stand up.
" Spiderman I need to heal you!" she cried as he walked away from her. She scowled.
" PETER FUCKING PARKER GET YOUR CUTE ASS BACK HERE!" She shouted. Peter froze, turning to face Ella with a shocked expression.
"You know me?" he asked stepping towards her. Ella winked.
" I'd recognize that ass anywhere Parker" she said absentmindedly, healing his face. She looked strait in his eyes and smiled.
" Make this out alive Parker, you can take me on a Date, how about that?" Peter smiled, his eyes lighting up like an adorable puppy.
" Yes. I'd like that." Peter said. Ella laughed at his hopeful face, kissing his cheek.
She took off, her red hair only just visable at the rafters where she sat, smiling softly at Peter, who was chatting to Mr Stark
" OH MY GOD THE ELLA ROSS JUST ASKED ME OUT! "
" Ok kid"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ella had fallen asleep on the balancing beans that supported the ship.
So when she woke up she was even more confused why an excited Peter was looming over her.
" We're here." he said guiding her to where they all stood.
They expected her to ask who Drax, Starlord and mantis were. She didn't. The first words out of her mouth were
" Where's Gamora?"
They stood stock still.
" Where's my sister?"

Just Me and You Chapter 1
Warnings: Fluff(not yet)
Pairing: Peter Parker × reader
A/u: This chapter may be bit boring but this will lead to some serious fluffy romance(I hope) and if this fanfic is similar to anyone else's, it is purely a coincidence. I do not plagiarized.
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
' Hey Ned!' I called out as I walked through the busy halls of Midtown High to get to Ned, my very kind, ever so adorable best friend. School had just ended and everyone was scurrying to get out of school.
' Hey Y/N! What's up?' Ned said, closing his locker door. I looked at him with a questioning look.
' "What's up?" We're going to the movies, aren't we?' I asked him. He furrowed his eyebrows at me.
' No, we cancelled that.'
' We?'
' Peter and I, but Peter brought it up first because he has his Stark Internship.' Ned explained. Peter has this huge secret that only Ned and I know of. Everyone knew it as "The Stark Internship" but we knew it as "Spiderman business". Yes, he's The Spiderman, the Spiderman that's been taking the Internet by storm.
' He didn't tell you? He said he would.' Ned said.
' No he didn't.' I said with a hint of disappointment. Peter would always tell me a day or two before our outings. I don't recall any time he didn't tell me he couldn't hang out.
' Um he probably forgot! You know with his Stark internship and the decathlon, he's been pretty forgetful. Yeah that's it!' Ned said, kind of frantically. He probably heard my disappointment and tried to make me feel better.
' Um yeah that's probably it. I uh... I should go home. Bye Ned.' I said and gave him a small smile which I did not mean to do. I wanted to hide my disappointment by giving Ned this huge grin but I guess my facial muscles weren't working.
You see, I have this tiny itty bitty crush on Peter. It's not a "I LOVE YOU PLEASE NOTICE ME." crush its just a " Oh you like me? Okay let's date." kind of crush. I just find Peter mildly attractive and really fun to hang out with and I wish I could spend more time with him. That's it. There's nothing more than that.
But here's the thing. He has a major crush on Liz Toomes, a really smart and gorgeous girl and captain of the decathlon team. It's not like I hate her or anything, but God I'm just so jealous of her! She looks like a freaking Goddess and she's so nice! There no way I could hate a person like her.
Okay I may have been lying about having just a "tiny itty bitty crush" on Peter. He's on my mind every day, minute and second. I just can't get him out of my head, it's ridiculous. Every time he looks at me with those big brown eyes, I turn to putty. I hate that I can't tell him how i feel about him without breaking this bond we already have. So until i have this "crush" under control, I Y/N Y/L/N , will not do anything that will arouse suspicion about my crush on Peter under any circumstances(although I may have already failed when talking to Ned earlier).
~1 week later~
'Peter,wait up!' I called out after spotting him among the crowd in the hallway. He widened his eyes upon seeing me and quickly walked the other way. This was happening a lot. I have not been able to talk to him for the past week. I didn't want to think this,but he is definitely avoiding me. I have to find out why.
I scurried around school looking for anyone and I mean anyone to tell me where the hell Peter Parker was.
' Peter? I saw him leave a few minutes ago.' Michelle answered. By the time I git to her, I was out of breath. The 15 people I asked before had no clue where he was.
' He left already? Oh okay thanks Michelle.' I said in between small intakes of breath.
' Weird.' she said and walked away. Disappointed, I turned back and headed to Ned's locker. I didn't see him there before so he must be there now.
'Ned!' I called out and waved my arm to get his attention. He waved back.
' Ned, is Peter avoiding me?' I asked before he could say hi. I needed to be abrupt to get what I want- which is to find out if Peter was avoiding me.
' What? Of course not! What makes you say that?' Ned said, shaking his head.
' I haven't talked to him all week. Don't tell me you haven't been noticing? He's never around when we eat lunch together or hang out!' I said in a slightly loud voice, anger pouring out.
' He told me it's the Sta-'
' I swear to God if you say it's the Stark internship, I will tear your limbs off your body.' I said, starting to get pissed off. I was so not having it.
' But it's true...' Ned said softly. He looked at me with a worried look. I signed and ran my hand through my hair. Ned clearly didn't know if Peter was avoiding me. I shouldn't take it out on him.
' Look, I'm sorry. It's been a tough week. Peter has a lot to deal with right now I guess.' I pursed my lips.
' Yeah it's been one hell of a week for him. Not that he's telling me, I can just tell he's busy. Spiderman is saving the town from destruction.' Ned whispered the last part. I couldn't help but smile at him.
' I gotta go. See you tomorrow.' I said and left.
Ned got out his phone and dialed.
' Peter! I need to talk to you! It's about Y/N.'

You Look Perfect-a spierfeld fic
“Si, you ready to go?”
“Yeah, hold on.” Simon stepped out of the bathroom, a self-conscious look on his face. He was wearing a set of slightly too-small Hogwarts robes and had drawn a scar on his forehead with Nora’s eyeliner from Halloween. Bram covered his mouth with both hands, a smile lifting up the dimples on his cheeks. “What, does it look stupid? Because I thought of a backup just in case,” said Simon worriedly.
“You look adorable.” Simon scrunched up his nose at Bram. “No, I’m serious. You look exactly like Harry Potter. Minus the hair.” Bram adjusted the hood of his Spiderman outfit, tugging it down around his neck. His curls stuck up a bit in the back, and Simon resisted the urge to go to him and smooth them down. Bram walked up to Simon and straightened out his glasses, his fingertips lingering slightly on Simon’s cheeks. He pressed a quick, chaste kiss to Simon’s lips, so lightly it could barely be felt. “Are you ready to go?”
“‘Yes…” Simon trailed off, looking around and patting his pockets. “Don’t know where my keys are, though.”
“Let’s just drive mine, then.”
“‘K.” Simon grabbed Bram’s hand, holding it to his chest and giving it a quick kiss. If Leah were here, she would roll her eyes so hard they might get stuck that way. Simon and Bram weren’t very affectionate at school---sadly, the world was still plagued by homophobes----but when they were alone, they were almost sickeningly sweet with each other. Bram turned and looked at Simon, giving him the smile he reserved for alone time with his boyfriend. Simon’s cheeks went a cute shade of pink. “Let’s go.”

Spidey’s #1 Fan - Peter Parker
Tumblr media
word count: 2475 warnings: swearing request: Can I get a Spiderman (Peter Parker) fanfic where they are best friends and then she finds out he's spiderman and gets embarrassed bc she always fangirled over him? Also happy anniversary!!
He wasn’t sure how to tell you.  How to tell you he’d lost his third backpack this week.  When he lost the first one, you took him back out shopping for a new one.  And when he lost that one, you grew concerned as to why people were stealing his backpacks.  And now, he knew he was going to have to give you a better explanation than a shoulder shrug.
Peter Parker has been your best friend since kindergarten.  To say it was a beautiful meeting, would be a lie.  You tripped and fell on his lego battleship.  But, it did begin a sweet friendship.  As well as a crush that started just aws soon as he saw the adorable (and blushing) face of the girl that had broken apart his battleship.
But now, rushing back to his apartment so he could change before you arrive, he wondered what the hell he was going to say.
You were wandering along the sidewalks, alone, because Peter left school early for an appointment.  Usually the both of you walked together, but you didn’t mind being by yourself.  You liked walking in Queens.  Seeing the people who were either rushing, or taking their time, enjoying the scene like you.
Peter’s apartment was your go to place to hang out.  Usually the two of you would do your homework, watch some tv, you’d talk to May about your day and Peter would beg you to pay more attention to him than his aunt.  Ned would come over too sometimes, and you’d all have dinner together.  It was always a comfortable, bully free environment.  Bully free being the keyword that you appreciated most.
Midtown High wasn’t exactly the nicest place to go to school.  The boys who didn’t pick on you, hit on you, and sometimes, it was both,  You shuddered, thinking of Flash’s disgusting self.  That boy had a tendency to either yank your ponytail or beg for your number.  Sometimes you wondered if you’d even bother going to school if Peter and Ned weren’t there.  It didn’t exactly seem worth it.
Peter Parker was always a dork.  And not in a bad way, but it was very noticeable.  Top of his class, having the credits to graduate when he was only a sophomore.  Being on the Decathlon team, never leaving a question unanswered or a homework un-done, never failing any test, and speaking fluent Spanish (you loved that) he was simply known for being a genius.  But while Midtown High was notorious for it’s science and tech courses, being smart, was no crown in the social status there.  If you weren’t a cheerleader or a football player, then you might as well say goodbye to popularity.
But Peter was fully capable of being on the football team.  Hell, he could play single handedly, and likely still win every game.  Thanks to a little ‘incident’ that gave him super strength and the ability to shoot webs out of his wrists, he wasn’t the same Peter Parker anymore.  Though, he acted like it.  Because no one knew.
Except for Tony friggin Stark.
Oh, and also Ned.  Who found out by accident a few weeks ago.
Peter ran his hand through his hair, rushing up the stairs to his apartment.  It wasn’t like he didn’t want to tell you.  Of course he wanted to, especially when you went on your long winded rants about how much you love Spiderman.  How “Spiderman deserves better” and that he’s a “real hero” and how you were conspiring that he was a part of the Avengers.  Peter loved when you told him your thoughts on the Avengers, and how you felt that Spiderman deserved a place on the team.
But he couldn't.  Not only was he not allowed to, but it could put you into some serious danger, and he definitely didn’t want you to be a part of anything Spiderman was.  It was just too risky.  So he kept the secret.
When the knock on his door alerted him, he’d just thrown his suit into his closet and changed into regular clothes again.
“Peter? It’s me can I come in?” Your voice called, and he rushed over to open the door for you.  You smiled at his flustered self, wondering why he looked so disheveled.
“H-hey y/n/n” You rose your brows as he stepped aside to let you in.
“What’s wrong? You look anxious” You asked worriedly, but he just shook his head, closing the door behind you.
“Anxious? Me? I’m always anxious wh-what’re you talking about?” You giggled as he spoke frantically, shaking your head at the boy.
“You’ll never change Peter Parker” You sighed, and set your backpack down on the floor before sitting by it.  “So guess what? Want to hear the weirdest thing?”
“S-sure weird things are cool” Peter replied, sitting on the floor across from you.
“So today in Psych, I’d finished my notes and all right? So I figure hey, I’ve got some time to doodle.  And I sketch out this- don’t judge me- I sketch out this picture of Spiderman” You told him, pulling your Psychology notebook out of your bookbag.  “And then get this! I see him later today!”
Peter choked.
“Just swinging along, isn’t that crazy?” You asked, excitement in your voice as you handed Peter the book with your drawing in it.  Peter stared adoringly at your pencil sketch, his heart beating uncontrollably in his chest.
“Yeah, that’s insane” He finally spoke, handing you back your book.  You stared at it for a few moments before putting it away.
“Anyways, how was your appointment?”
“W-what? Oh right it uh… it was fine” Peter shrugged his shoulders.  “Just a regular doctor’s check up and all… all that” He said, completely unsure of where he was going with this.  You smiled and nodded.
“And did the doctor tell you anything concerning? Maybe told you an exposure to radiation suddenly gave you muscle this year?” You joked, and Peter rolled his eyes.  You always messed with him about that.
“No, he didn’t, for your information” He replied sarcastically.
“Alright sure.  I’ll just have to believe that you started working out”
“I have!” Peter replied defensively, making you laugh and roll your eyes playfully.
“Uh huh, sure Parker.  Sure” You responded cheekily.  And it was all fun and games, and you could believe that he was working out.  There wasn’t exactly any other explanation.  “You wanna watch Star Wars?”
The next hour was spent lying across the couch, legs strewn carelessly over Peter’s lap as he sat on one end.  He was trying his best not to bounce his leg, he didn’t want you to think that he was uncomfortable by any means.  And he wasn’t.
But this made his hands jittery.  A little shaky, and he tried to keep it out of your sight, but of course you noticed.
“What’s up?” You asked gently, nodding towards his very obvious shaking hand.  “You’re really off today Pete, are you sure everything’s alright?”  He looked between you and his hands a few times, unsure of what to say.  You sat up, putting your feet on the ground and moving to sit closer to him.  “You can talk if you want, or not, I understand” You offered, placing a hand over his knee.  “Do you want me to leave you alone?” You asked in a softer tone.
“Yeah… yeah I need to be alone for a bit” Peter muttered, hating himself for sending you away.  But everytime you’re around, he can’t focus right, and it’s beginning to drive him crazy
“That’s fine” You smiled sweetly at him, and stood up.  You left him in the room as you went to grab your things.  When you came back, he was still sitting in the same place.  You smiled sadly and walked over to him.  “It’s okay Pete” You said, leaning over and kissing his cheek lightly.  “Text me in a bit or something, alright?”
“Okay” He replied, and looked up to watch you go.  His face completely pink from your kiss.
As soon as the door shut, he was rushing back to room to get his suit from the closet.  He needed to get out of the house, clear his head.
You were walking home, just thinking to yourself and all the while wondering if you’d done something wrong.  Peter’s been acting off for a while, that much was obvious.  But you always figured that it was just because of all the stress on his shoulders.  From the Stark Internship, to Decathlon, and just the regular workload at school, it was difficult.  But now you couldn’t help but think it was your fault.
Sighing, you wrapped your arms around yourself, keeping your head down as you walked along the sidewalk.  No one else was really out, most people still at work.  But you didn’t mind walking alone. At least no one would see you sad expression as you dived deeper into your thoughts.
Maybe he didn’t want to be your friend anymore.  Maybe he just didn’t like you anymore.  Maybe he’d found out that you had a crush on him.  Maybe-
Your train of thought was cut off as you were grabbed around the waist, and before you could fight back against the attacker, you were flying into the air.
“What the fuck!” You screamed, watching the ground get smaller and smaller below you.  You looked up, and nearly choked.
Spiderman.
“What the fuck?” You squealed again, this time out of pure confusion as to why Spiderman would swing through and pick you up out of complete nowhere.
“You’re okay” A muffled voice said, and you found yourself believing him.  Almost too easily.
He swung along the buildings a little further, the heavy wind in your face making your hair fly and eyes water, but you didn’t really mind.  You just silently enjoyed this spontaneous moment.
He eventually stopped, and set you back on your feet on the roof of your high school.  You looked around yourself, almost expecting to see someone jump out and yell “Syke!” but nothing happened.
“Um, what am I doing here?” You asked awkwardly.
“Sorry that was so random, I just… wanted to talk to you” Your brows rose and you blinked disbelievingly.
“Y-you want to talk to m-me?” You asked, pointing to your chest.  What in the world would Spiderman want to talk to you about?
“Yeah I see you around a lot and uh… yeah” He replied.  Your lips pulled into a slight smirk as you gave him a curious once over.
“Does Spiderman maybe have a crush…? I’m a sixteen year old girl you know that right?”
“Yeah I do-” He stopped himself when you startled slightly at his knowledge of you.  “That sounded creepy uh… but yeah I know you.  I think I know you pretty well” You crossed your arms over your chest, eyeing him suspiciously.
“Why don’t you take the mask off then?” You said.  Spiderman hung his head down for a moment, before pulling the bottom up a little bit.  But it didn’t even go any higher than his nose.  “Well that doesn’t exactly help me with your identity now does it?” You questioned.
“I don’t want you to know it” He replied, and you somehow knew he was changing his voice on purpose.  You stepped closer, noticing his hands fidgeting together.  You quirked a brow at that before looking up at him.
“Why not?” You asked, growing more suspicious and curious by the second.  “What’ve you got to lose?”
“I have already kidnapped you” He muttered, and you chuckled quietly to yourself.
“Yes, you have.  Might as well tell me who you are” You shrugged.  “It’s not that big of a deal.  I’ve only got two friends”
“That’s not true” You looked at him with an amused surprise.
“Uh huh so you’re a complete stalker then?” You asked, and you could tell he was rolling his eyes behind that mask.  And he was.
“No just… okay I promise I’ll tell you”
“Oh yeah? For what price?” You retorted sarcastically.
“Just… just let me- damnit” He grumbled to himself, but before you could speak up his gloved hands were cupping your cheeks and he was leaning down to press his exposed lips against yours.  You squeaked slightly, but shut your eyes and leaned in against him.  His kiss was soft and warm and this is what you thought melting felt like.  You hummed, eyes still closed even as your lips parted.
“Peter if you wanted to kiss me you could’ve just asked” You whispered, reaching for the mask and pulling it completely up over his head.  His messy locks of hair flopping over.  The boy’s jaw fall open, shocked that you’d figured it out.
“How’d you- what? How’d you know?” He asked, dropping his hands from your face.  You smiled back at him.
“You really thought I wouldn’t recognize your voice? Come on Pete” He smiled nervously back at you.
“So you’re not… mad?”
“Are you kidding? Of course not! You’re freaking Spiderman!” You squealed excitedly, and then a thought clicked in your mind.  “Oh my God I’ve spent months fangirling about you… to you…” Peter laughed as you began to grow flustered, remembering all the times you went on vents on your thoughts about him.
“No way, that was the cutest thing, I loved every single thing you fangirled over” You blushed and laughed awkwardly.
“So, Spiderman has a crush on me?” You asked mischievously, and Peter bopped his head side to side in response.
“He sort of does, yes”
“Only sort of?” You asked, quirking your eyebrow a little.
“Okay maybe a lot” You giggled, and wrapped your arms up around his neck.  “A really lot” He said in a softer tone.  You bit down on your lip, peering up at him through your lashes.
“And kidnapping me was your best idea on telling me this?” You asked, the both of you laughing together.  He leaned down slightly, his forehead pressed against yours.
“I love you so much, y/n” He said quietly, ending your giggling.  “I’ve wanted to tell you for a while, all of this but…” He trailed off, and you closed your eyes as he wrapped his arms around your torso.
“I know” You whispered back, feeling content, and safe.  And loved.  “I love you too, Penis Parker” He chuckled bitterly, before leaning down once more and capturing your lips with his.  You grinned, but kissed back anyways and held tightly to him.
“I’d like the fangirling to continue”
“Of course.  I am your number one fan after all”

[ Here are Part 2, 3 btw! ]  
The themes of the stories on this list varies, I’m either into something heart-warming, fluffy, domestic that sort of thing or into some really really heavy and dark messed up ones. It depends on the mood am I right? wink wink
It’s always gonna be smutty though lol
As long as it’s tastefully written, whatever kinky shit, I can be into it, I don’t judge the writer. With that being said if I add something straight up messed up here now/or in the future, don’t judge too, just mind the tags of the fic, for your own discretion if anything.
this list should be Wade Wilson/Peter Parker - Spiderman/Deadpool pairing only. I kinda like my babies greedy/possessive for/of each other.
I don’t care who tops or bottoms.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Summaries are taken directly from the fanfic’s summary.
Read the tags first!
Comet  Peter is his comet, bright and beautiful but fleeting. Peter left one day and Wade will fight beyond time to find a world where they can be together.
On Our Ride-side Down (this is a wip, but it’s worth it, read.it) "Peter...!" “Been a long time…” Peter says and Wade’s finger twitches, halting his plan to grab the hilt of his sword.The alpha wants to move -wants to say something. Anything. But he can only watch as the omega slowly… sultrily… stands up and turns his head to face Wade with a sidelong glance. Hazel eyes peer at him under his lashes as his lips curl up to form a malicious yet seductive smirk. “Did you miss me, Wade?”
It Will Always Be Us Sometimes the Alpha thought he knew everyone of Peter’s heart beats, the significance of each breath, the uniqueness of every blink and perfection of every inch of skin. He memorized the concave of his mate’s stomach and the dip of his navel, the length of Peter’s legs, knew every count up and down each vertebrae and the minute shift of hips and flex of abdomen and it wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough.Wade would always need more.
Wrapped in Red Intersex!Peter and Wade have been waiting to move their relationship towards sexy shenanigans, and Christmas seems like the right time to give it a try. Peter is nervous, Wade is patient, there is a visit to a lingerie store, some rather questionable Christmas innuendos, and a happily ever after.
Sundays with Spideypool (Amazing short stories)
Sundays with Spideypool Volume 2  (Amazing short stories)
Sundays with Spideypool Volume 3  (Amazing short stories)
Bad Ideas Peter Parker isn’t Spider-Man anymore. No, he left his suit and that life behind after Gwen, Harry and everything else went wrong. He packed his bag and took off, looking for someplace where he won’t see Gwen’s ghost on every corner, someplace where he won’t have nightmares every night. Wade Wilson isn’t Deadpool anymore. No, he told a client to fuck off when he’d been sent to end someone who… didn’t deserve it So he left, packed his bag and headed for a place where the voices in his head don’t scream at him, where he can find some peace.
Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse (this is out there, but so fucking good!) Having a heat during the zombie apocalypse was probably the most terrifying part of the zombie apocalypse, but Peter shouldn't have been worried about being eaten. He should have worried about being bred.
You big disgrace Wade’s hanging by one leg from the firescape outside Peter’s seventh floor apartment, katanas sheathed on his back and a gun on each thigh - but he’s frozen like a deer in the headlights, as if Peter poses some sort of threat, standing like an idiot at the open window in sweatpants and no shirt, only a flashlight and a thin smattering of chest hair to defend himself.
5 times Wade didn't believe Peter, and the one time he did Wade isn't a fool. And he knows better, whatever Spidey says. Or five times Wade didn't believe Peter, and the one time he did.
Daddy’s Little Mama Peter is an Omega male and he loves to feed his Daddy every morning and every night.
Beta Peter had to pretend to be a beta; that meant squashing down his every instinct, every urge that wanted him to be held tight in Deadpool's arms so he could just hug the stress away. Unsurprisingly, he wasn't very good at it.
Learn the Alphabet with Wade and Peter Follow Wade and Peter's many love stories with this handy A-to-Z guide!
Do Me Damage The only exception, the only time Peter would lose his cool, was if his mate was involved. No one talked bad about Wade. No one put their hands on him, and if they did, they'd answer to Peter.
Clingy Petey Peter Parker is very clingy and Wade finds it absolutely adorable
Pizza Parker, Booty Double The pizza delivery boy has hips that don't lie, and a booty belonging to Spider-Man. All Wade has to do now is find proof that Peter is the webbed wonder...
I Know your secret “I’m your new neighbor,” Wade forged on, oblivious to Peter’s state of shock, and he stuck out a scarred hand. Peter gripped it, feeling numb, and gave it a shake. Did Wade realize who he was? No, clearly not. He was acting way too normally. Wade was one for dramatics.
I Think I Missed a Step ('Cause I'm Fallin' For You)    There’s a weird familiarity about the kid's tone and posture, and it’s true that Wade is pretty far from home today but he’s also certain he’d remember that baby-face if he’d seen it before. On the other hand, he has spent the better part of the past few years feeling like he’s missed a step, so this conversation isn’t exactly anything new.
Fall out, boy, so i can fall in(to you) (this ones got art and a sequel, so perfect!) Deadpool keeps having sex with Peter and Peter… Peter keeps letting him.
Your love is my confessional [SEQUEL TO fall out, boy, so i can fall in(to you)] Unlike most of the Avengers, Peter has never been allergic to talking about his feelings with the people he loves. Except for the one person he has the strongest feelings for. Except for the one feeling he feels the strongest. Why was it so hard to say what it was so easy to be? Why was it so easy to be what it was so hard to say?...Why did he expect any other reaction from Wade when Peter finally said it?
A Match of My Own Wade Wilson is a dishonorably discharged vet from Canada, making a new life for himself in New York City after going into heat cost him his military career. This time, three years later, when he goes into heat, he gets proactive about it and turns to the only matchmaking service he can sort-of afford, in the hopes of finding a heat-mate to get him through the worst of his season. Because with a mug like his, that’s all he can hope to get, right? And certainly not a permanent mate?
