Summary
“You’re putting too much pressure on it,” MJ tells him, when Ned confides in her how he’s feeling, two months into it. "He’s messed up. Like, super messed up. It’s not gonna just—fix itself, overnight.”
“And whose fault is that?” Ned asks, reaching up to the ceiling in exasperation from where he’s laying on the carpet, staring upwards. “Whose fault is it that he was playing—the hermit version of masked crusader, on hard mode for half of a decade, without us?”
"Not yours," MJ says simply.

OR: Ned remembers. That’s the easy part.

Summary
“I think he might be done waiting,” Ned says quietly, and it lands on the table between them with a specific profundity that MJ can’t, won’t, will not acknowledge.
MJ looks at him sharply. “I never wanted him to—”
“I know,” Ned says firmly. “He does too. I promise.”
“Then why—?”
Ned shrugs like there’s something he’s not telling her, taking a long sip of his drink. “Just...thought you should know, I guess.”
--
OR: post-bnd MJ, and the Peter Parker-shaped clock she didn’t realize was ticking.
