    Summary

    In 1994, Bob Reynolds’ parents shuttle him off to stay with his aunt in Ohio for the summer. It’s a daunting agenda; he’s never even met Aunt Carol. But it becomes a lot more palatable once he meets one of Aunt Carol’s neighbors – Yelena, fearless and fascinating and a fast friend.

    AND

    In 2016, Yelena Belova is newly freed from the Red Room’s hold on her, and desperate for something familiar and comforting to anchor her. Those years in Ohio were the first – and the last – time she felt that. Maybe, maybe she can be selfish, and try to track down the boy she’d once known, oh so long ago. That is, if he even remembers her.

    Summary

    After a long and brutal career as Spider-Man, Peter Parker has hit rock bottom. His old universe is gone, his family is gone, and he's abandoned in an alternate timeline where he'd never been born. On the streets and left as a living ghost, he hasn't given up on being Spider-Man. He hasn't given up on other people. He's only given up on himself, and that's still a tragedy. But even at his lowest, he's always what every hero aspires to be. It doesn't hurt that both Dr. Doom and the Incredible Hulk are stuck in the same mess.

    A slow burn superhero story about Peter Parker starting from the lowest point I can possibly put him in, and battling his way to the very top. This is going to be a long one, and while it starts off in a sad place, the overall direction will always be to somewhere more positive. There will be setbacks. Not everything will work out. But my promise is that he'll always be in a better place than where he started.

    Summary

    Bob is insurmountably at odds with the thing inside him, the swallowing darkness that taunts his dreams, toys with and twists memories, turns over his mind like a rock in the dirt and drags out the ugly, bitter, horrible things writhing underneath.

    recovery, and a great deal of regret. it takes two to balance the darkening scale.
