    Summary

    I start to drift back across the rink towards the boards so I can set down my earbuds — they’re the cheapest ones I could get, which means they go flying at any significant movement, and my leggings don’t have goddamn pockets — when I realise I’m no longer alone, now abruptly face to face with another human being.

     

    Worse, it’s a human being I recognise. And certainly not one I’m thrilled to see.

     

    It’s one of the hockey players. Captain of the men’s team, to be specific. He’s twice my size, broad-shouldered and brawny, with dark hair and russet skin, a single white scar bisecting his brow that’s dramatically rumoured to be a souvenir from a backwater bar fight. He’s the sort of athlete that never fails to reduce women into giggling caricatures falling over themselves, and more infuriatingly he knows it.

     

    Xaden Riorson.

     

    Or: the hockey player/figure skater AU that nobody asked for!

    Summary

    "Peter laughed, leaning back in his chair. ‘You’re not a bad performer. I can see why you took to the stage – perfect for lying.’
    ‘Get out.’
    Peter stood up and marched around the table to Johnny, standing toe to toe. It felt like standing near a fireplace. He gripped Johnny’s pearl necklace – it was warm. ‘I’ll get that interview, Mr. Storm, I promise you. For now, I’ll enjoy your ruse. I don’t like liars, and it usually ends badly for people I don’t like.’"

     

    When Dr Reed Richards and his team hide away from the public after an expedition to Iceland, Jameson enlists Peter Parker to find the scoop – but what Peter finds is Johnny Storm and a whole lot more than he’d bargained for.

    Summary

    If Jonathan Storm was the movie star Betty said he was, he looked the part: Hair like spun gold in perfect curls atop slender features, with eyes bluer than the Hudson in midsummer. “Normally I’d ask what a dame like you is doing in a place like this, but”—Peter cast a glance up his guest—“you’re not exactly a dame, are you?”

    Storm flashed a weak smile. “I can be, if you want.”

    Peter raised an eyebrow. Storm turned beet-red.

    “I mean. I’m. I didn’t mean that.” Storm huffed and shoved out a hand. “Johnny Storm.”

    ---

    It's 1933, Peter Parker has just shut down a Nazi eugenist and lost one of his oldest friends, and life in the big city is as joyless and hardscrabble as ever. Then Johnny Storm, movie star with a soul made of sunshine, walks through Peter's door, asking for his help. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Summary

    The Spider. Gone was the man, and only the costume was left. Slick and black, looking like the symbiote suit Peter had picked up on Battleworld. Johnny had always hated it. Hated the way Peter looked in it, the way the black mask rendered the shape of his face underneath nearly unknowable. Hated every time Peter had donned the cloth version afterwards and lost himself in his own rage.

    “Johnny,” the Spider said, looking up at him. His lips curved into a smile. “I’m happy to see you. Come here.”

    --

    Johnny falls into the Spider's universe, where everything in the wake of the Superhero Registration Act went very differently. Order has fallen, and in this world Peter Parker reigns supreme.

    Trapped in Peter Parker's fortress with his powers failing and separated from Ben and Victor, he tries to his best to avoid being caught in his web, but Johnny is tired, and the Spider is still Peter Parker, the man Johnny's been in love with for years.

    Canon divergent from the beginning of Marvel Two-in-One (2017) #7.

    Summary

    It was like the Fantastic Four had been the great metaphor that Johnny had defined his entire existence around—gleaming, golden-tinted pieces formed together into a supernova, all-encompassing and adored and aching.

    Now, broken apart and left behind, Johnny is desperate to find the answer to one specific question, one that he had always taken great care to avoid and to repress: what happens to a star after it burns out?
