Summary
So overall, Hazel has 4 friends. It’s a good number. They’re good friends, and she’s content with it. Unlike her mom, she doesn’t need the entire football team’s attention to be happy.
Then senior year starts and PJ, being PJ, comes up with an insanely elaborate plan to start a fucking fight club, and as it always is with PJ, Hazel gets sucked in. A small part of her is aware of how fucking insane it all is, but the louder voice in her head can’t help but feel a bit pride in being the main catalyst of PJ’s newest scheme. She’s the one who started the juvie thing after all.
or
Hazel tries to figure out where the fuck do they go from here.

Summary
She liked solitude, but the spider gave her a lone life. Partners didn’t really work in her line of work.
Of course, until it did.
Because who knew getting sucked into a foreign dimension where your atoms constantly tried to disintegrate in the most painful ways could be the best thing that could happen to a girl in years?
Being thrown across a whole other New York, no way home, every inch of her being screaming this is wrong, yet there she found the band for her: the only people in the whole universe- the whole multiverse who could understand. That was what she had told Miles after his uncle died. That they’re the only ones who could possibly understand. And suddenly, the spider didn’t feel so alone.or
Gwen Stacy's daily life as the one and only Spider-Woman, along with being hopelessly in love with someone so close and yet so far away. Does it count if you can see him but it's really not him? Who knows? Gwen doesn't. It's not creepy to stare at this Miles is it?

Summary
Gwen wasn’t expecting to show the band her song today. Or ever, really. She didn’t want them to know that she stayed up all night working with an old guitar and a tired old drum set, trying to piece things together because she couldn’t go to sleep without finishing the song. She didn’t want anyone to find out her feelings towards this boy made her sleepless at nights, and creative outlet only taking away some of the obsession, but leaving her with the bittersweet feeling in her chest.
or
the one where Gwen can't stop writing about Miles Morales, and every interaction they have. Obviously, it has to bite her in the ass.

Summary
It probably wasn’t the most opportune time, but it was also the only time they had, so Gwen asked him about it halfway down the elevator shaft into Fisk Tower’s secret lab. Noir was leading the way, moving gracefully and monochromatically from elevator shaft to heating vent, Peter Porker in his wake.
“Does she know?” Gwen hissed, knowing his mind—like hers—was still back in the dining room. “Your version.”“What?” Peter hissed back. “Know what?”
“You know,” Gwen gestured from him to herself, crawling on finger- and toe-tip directly down a vertical concrete wall. “This.”
“Oh,” said Peter. “Yeah, she knows.” He was smiling behind his mask, she could tell from his voice. “She's always known.”
“Oh,” Gwen said. “Good.”

Summary
“So,” Fig says, “that was Fabian, he’s gonna be on lead guitar and some keys tonight-” Fig pauses for the crowd to cheer appropriately, Fabian playing a brief lick on his guitar as they do- “and behind me, you know him, we all love him, Gorgug on the sticks!”
Ayda finds it hard to look at the two men onstage, however, even as Fig introduces them; because looking at Gorgug or Fabian would involve looking away from Fig. And Ayda really cannot bring herself to do that, yet. Not when Fig keeps glancing at her- probably in passing, as she scans the crowd of the bar- and Ayda’s pulse jumps every time she does.
“They’re the significant, I’m the figures-” Fig rolls her bass guitar up off her hip in one smooth motion, Ayda’s mouth is dry and her ears are ringing, even though it isn’t that loud yet- “lets make some fucking noise!”

Summary
Getting accepted into a prestigious boarding school seemed like a dream come true for Luz. Especially when her last school had no faith in her ever amounting to anything. But it quickly comes crashing down into a nightmare of tribulation.
Still, there was one thing motivating Luz to keep going: the mystery around the school. Why there always felt like there was always someone around the corner, just hidden from sight. Why some students crept out in the middle of the night once a month. And what the deal with the Head Girl and her vast knowledge of everything in the school was.
Luz was determined to figure it out, no matter what she had to endure.

Summary
AU in which "King's Tide" ended with Luz tricking her friends into fleeing through the portal while she stayed behind with King. Now Willow, Gus, Hunter, and a particularly distraught Amity must find Camila Noceda and hope that she is willing and able to help them survive while they search for a way back -- and in the meantime, they can fill her in on what her daughter has been doing in the Demon Realm.
Or, the one where I cut Luz out of the plot of "Thanks to Them" to explore the Luz-shaped hole left behind as best I can.
