    Summary

    The strings with which her reality had been carefully strung together still fit perfectly threaded into place, tearing through the fabric of time, space, and reality to just pull them together.

    ...

    The making, breaking, and rebuilding of figurative and literal bonds throughout Gwen Stacy's life.

    Summary

    “Could you just—” Miles glowered at him, huffing impatiently before starting over, “Could you just please tell me what’s wrong with me?!”

    “Nothing,” Peter chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re fine. Just seem to have caught a pretty bad lovebug, bud.”

    “What?” Miles gaped at him, shaking his head. “No, that’s—I’m talking about this weird, actual, physically-not-a-metaphor buzzy thing that keeps happening to me!”

    “I know,” Peter grinned. “So am I.” He leaned closer conspiratorially. “You’re just purring.”
    -
    Or: The one where Miles finds out that he can apparently purr—and can’t seem to stop doing it around Gwen.

    Summary

    Dad goes on TV and tells the world that Spider-woman killed a kid who ate at his table, and tells police to find her and bring her to justice. All the while Spider-woman is sleeping in the bedroom across from him and hides her costume in a drum set that he paid for.

    He even helps Spider-woman take down her pride flag and set it on the dining table.

    "What are we writing?" he asks when Gwen brings out the fabric marker. "Trans rights are human rights?"

    "No," she answers. "Here, I'll show you."

    She wants to tell him then: take out the mask or crawl on the ceiling or something, as he's writing PROTECT TRANS KIDS just so Dad knows that he's telling the world to point a gun at his trans kid.

    or

    The canon events in the life of Earth-65's one and only Gwen Stacy as she navigates gender, superhero life, a crush on Miles Morales and not talking to her dad.

    Summary

    Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man. Falls in love, falls and breaks, falls and gets caught, falls but really trips and catches herself, falls and falls and falls for him. That’s how it goes.
    But what if you’re both? The girl who falls and the superhero left behind? Brings to mind a spider’s skin, shed husk as she wiggles out of her past life. Sacrificial lamb to canon and its martyr both. Some Joan of Arc, victim and champion, burned at the stake.

    --

    The conversations, upside-down and rightside-up, recontextualized. How would you feel, knowing you're supposed to die half the time so he can fly - knowing your best friend was never supposed to fly at all?
