    Summary

    “The place you give the Bite has meaning," Derek says. "Biting someone on the side is to make them your beta. It makes them your subordinate, but it also invites them into the pack with the full protection of the alpha. Biting someone on the legs indicates that you’re turning them to an omega. And biting someone on the arm, particularly the wrist, turns someone as your equal. It’s a mating ritual.”

    Stiles nearly chokes on a mouthful of granola. “A what?”

    Summary

    “People like us,” Matt says, almost fond. And then, with a grimace, “It’s what I have to do.”

    Martyr, Peter’s mind chants, and May.

    “God-damn it,” he hisses, and ignores the bewilderment he sees from his periphery in Foggy’s gaze, probably because people consistently find it hard to reconcile Peter Parker with Spider-Man. “Because—because,” he snaps, feeling out of breath, “because fuck all the people who woulda had to bury you, right? They can go to hell.”

    He doesn’t know how to communicate how small he felt in that alley, how useless. Like he’s not a cog nor a screw in the whole machine of the world—just an onlooker, a phantom, powerful enough to lift the dying man but not enough to save him. It’s like the spell all over again. It’s like being wiped out, being erased, being nothing.

    or: Peter Parker does not like feeling helpless.

    Summary

    When it started, Peter really didn’t mean much by it. He’d seen Mr. Murdock often enough out on patrols, and in the Daily Bugle office when he came in for interviews about whatever his most recent big win in a case was. He was familiar with him. Acquaintances, maybe casual friends even, if he was being generous. So he didn’t think anything of it when Matthew asked him to grab a drink before their usual team patrol one night.

    ~~~

    Meeting Matt for drinks didn't quite end how he Peter thought it would. But what happens is so much better than he could have ever imagined. Turns out secretly pining for your coworker does pay off when your boyfriend is into it too.
