    Summary

    "Max has dumped me five times. But what have I done? Huh? Have I despaired? No. I’ve marched back into battle, and I’ve won her back every single freaking time."

    -

    Or all the times Max broke up with Lucas, and all the times he fixed it.

    Summary

    2004, a few weeks ago, a meteorite crashed into the American countryside, reducing the surrounding land to ashes.
    It only took a few days for extraterrestrial creatures known as "symbiotes" to begin invading the continent. These creatures have the ability to mimic the beings they encounter, are particularly tough, and, above all, hungry for human flesh.

    In New York, life is turned upside down. Residents are forced to pass a series of tests each time they wish to return home, in order to verify their identity, as ordered by the Symbiote Oversight and Containment Initiative for Eradication of Threats to You (SOCIETY).
    In Brooklyn, Building 16 welcomes a new addition to its team of doormen, Gwanda. However, she may be less innocent than she tries to act.

    Summary

    They ended up closer than either of them planned, Gwen looking up at Miles through her eyelashes with a nervous smile. He looking down at her in wonder at how beautiful she was looking up at him. He remembered very vividly the last time their faces had been this near each other. Only that time his hand had been stuck in her hair. He tried to take heart in knowing whatever happened here could not be nearly as humiliating as watching the school nurse cut his hand out of those golden curls.

    Are you sure about that? His brain asked. Imagine if your lips got--

    Shut up, brain, Miles shot back.

    or

    How complicated can one kiss between two people be?

    For Miles & Gwen? Stupidly so.

    Summary

    “They need to work it out,” Peter says. “But they won’t listen to us when we say they need to work it out.”

    Hobie tilts his chin. “What’s this you’re plannin’ then?”

    Peter enters a few keys on the keyboard. The monitor pulls up Earth 777. “New Spider,” he explains. “Bitten a bit later than most of us. His ASM-121 Canon Event is coming up soon. I suggest we put Miles and Gwen on the mission to stop tragedy. Together.”

    -

    After overcoming Canon and defeating Spot, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy have spent years avoiding the one thing they can’t run from: each other. When a mission forces them to pretend to be something they aren’t—or maybe something they’re too afraid to be—they’ll have to decide how much they’re willing to risk.

    Chips on the table. Hearts on the line. And only one question that matters: will they fold, or will they play the hand all the way through?

    Summary

    “Don’t do this,” Gwen warns him. His guileless expression might fool someone who doesn’t know him like her. She’s been on the receiving end of his taunts enough to know the kind of person he is.

    His smile falters and he leans back. “Do…do what?”

    “Listen, Morales,” she whispers angrily at him. Best not to draw attention from the rest of the club. “You want to sluff off, show up late all the time, and take little shots at me, fine. It’s what we do, I’m used to it. But don’t go playing games.”

    His jaw drops and eyebrows raise. “Oh. You hate me, hate me.”

    More games. “What?”

    “Sorry, I thought we had this, like,” he bobs his head looking for the right words, “Playful, joking, flirty banter going on here. I totally misread the situation.”

    -

    or Gwen isn't quite sold on Miles' transformation. Enemies for life. Definitely.
