    Summary

    It isn’t much later that he’s shifting his feet down a chilled sidewalk lit by the weariest streetlamp Peter Parker's ever seen. Peter looks up, bracing against the cold to examine it more closely. It reminds him of the historic cast-iron lamp posts he can sometimes find in New York. The light it casts is dim, barely lighting five feet. It flickers ever so often, dead bugs lining the bottom of the lamp.

    Peter can’t help but feel a little sorry for it. He glances over, intent to continue, but in the faint light something catches his eye. Above leans an old building lined with chipped pillars. Stretched across the front is a tattered banner reading, ‘Thank You Gotham City!’

    If anything, the banner makes him feel very unthankful. But that must be where he is, ‘Gotham City’. Place could use a laugh.

    Summary

    Peter Parker has a secret. 
    And no–it’s not that one. Or that other one. Or the suspiciously spider-shaped one. 
    No: this secret has no shape at all. 

    Stop being dramatic. 

    Ah. There’s the secret. 

    Dude, seriously?

    The really annoying, shapeless secret that haunts Peter's night and day and dreams and—

    If you don't stop, I’m going to shave off your eyebrows and wash your stupid suit with May’s whites and then you’ll have to explain why all her sheets are pink again—

    —And anyway, point being, there's a teenage girl that lives in Peter's brain, and the whole thing is far less weird than whatever you are picturing.

     

    OR:
    Peter and Steph share a soul. Across dimensions. It's really not as complicated as it seems.
    (Five outside perspectives of Stepheter and one time something different happened.)

    Summary

    Total erasure was the only way. But Mr. Strange, Stephen, allowed me a second chance in life, I now find myself in a new city, new people, new friends, and hopefully, a new home.

    Summary

    Peter seems to remember who he is, his name, his losses, his responsibility as the 'friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man', but everything that led to this moment? That led to being stranded in this foreign place? Half-remembered and hastily stitched together.

    Gotham is colder than New York, the faces are unfamiliar, the skyline jagged and grim, and the heroes... strange and foreign.

    He is haunted by visions of a dour, inescapable green; his memories muddled and vague. He knows he needs to get his narrative in order, needs to remember it properly, but now Peter has garnered the unwanted attention of Gotham's idolised protectors. And try as he might, he cannot seem to shake them off.
