Does Venom exist in you Spider-man(?) au?
Love your au(s) btw <3
Venom does exist in Spider-Man(?) au!!!
Oscorp labs exist in the au but Peter is obviously too young to have any real connection there. Instead, there's a science center funded by Oscorp for younger teens/kids where the symbiote is displayed publicly before it's sent off for testing. A lot of the kids think it's lame and boring and Peter sympathizes with it for obvious reasons. It immediately forms an attachment as this kid is the only one to think it's cool and binds with Peter to try and "help" by making him act tougher and fearless, basically getting rid of his flight response.
Of course, things go wrong as usually sweet Peter Parker starts getting into fights at school and Spidey seems to be outright gunning it for villains. It culminates with Peter accidentally hurting Aunt May when she tries to reprimand him for this behavior (she believed he was acting out due to missing Uncle Ben) and running away for a bit as he grapples with almost seriously hurting his Aunt and the symbiote's affect over him.
Eddie Brock in this au is an older teen (Maybe 12-14) who officially works as an intern for the daily bugle. Eddie and Pete were close as Eddie used to babysit him over the summer and they were the youngest employees. He got jealous of Peter as somehow this kid is getting more notoriety and paid for pictures of Spider-Man while he's just the coffee boy.
Eddie, of course, notices this change in behavior due to the close proximity of him and Peter (He gives Peter the papers for his route and organizes the pictures of Spidey) and hopes to catch him messing up his route so Jamison fires him.
It leads them to the clock tower where the symbiote tries to make Peter believe he needs it by amplifying his fear response by showing him every time he was scared while crime fighting and when he found Uncle Ben shot and didn't know what to do. It almost works until Peter realizes he overcame all that and gets rid of it but not before it falls onto Eddie who figures out Peter's identity. The symbiote bonds to Eddie and influences him to fight crime to stay close to Peter.
Eddie initially tries to be Spider-Man but edgier (he's a teen boy what did you expect) but the symbiote amplifies his resentment for Peter due to longing to reunite and feeling betrayed. Venom is born after Spidey catches them getting too rough with a villain and tries to stop them, Venom goes on a tirade about Peter being lucky and vowing to act as the embodiment of chaos in Peter's life.
Since Peter can't exactly say why he and Eddie are no longer cool Eddie just constantly looms around acting as this boogie-man figure in Peter's life, ranging from a cruel prankster to outright homicidal (staging accidents to hurt Peter or his loved ones) while as Venom he sabotages Spidey by sharing weakness to Villians or outright attacking him. Either way, Peter is always looking over his shoulder and can never rest until Venom gets dispatched (tho never permanently)
Also glad you like my aus! I like making and talking about them :>
