Summary
“Were you casing us out?”
Peter looks back at her, nonplussed. Swollen eye twitching. “Was I…what?”
“Casing. Us.” MJ annunciates the words clearly. “For your— organ smuggling ring, or whatever.”
“My organ smuggling ring.”
MJ shrugs, watching his confused expression carefully. “Illegal insulin?” she suggests, prodding further. “Street botox for the wealthy-but-not-plastic-surgery-wealthy tennis moms?”
She can see the moment it clicks for Peter that she’s messing with him, a strange familiarness to the way his jaw loosens and his shoulders relax. MJ’s spine prickles again.
“Yes,” he says flatly, craning his neck again towards the door the register attendant disappeared behind. “I was casing your apartment as a possible holding location for my mixed organ-insulin-botox smuggling ring. You failed.”
“Hm,” MJ hums, still not leaning back. “Well, that’s a relief, I guess.”

OR: The guy in the checkout line looks familiar, and it's not like MJ's got anywhere else to be at this time of night.

Summary
“Oh,” Ned snorts as he lugs the window open, then perches himself on his own desk and sets his drink to the side. “Yeah. MJ calls that our post-bacc. I guess it’s a…little serial-killer-esque, now that I’m really looking at it. Don’t worry, we’re normal.”
Transfixed, dreamlike, Peter takes an unsteady step closer to the Spider-Man board. “What are you guys looking for?” he thinks he asks.
For the first time all night, Ned doesn’t answer right away. Instead, he picks his drink back up and takes a long sip. “Why?” He looks at Peter curiously, voice even. “You know him?”

Summary
“Charlie, I need you to listen to me.”
Because this is, all of the sudden, different. The combination of the guns and the super-strength-proof cables and the widely held knowledge that both Peter Parker and all his known associates are dirt poor that can add up to only one conclusion.
These men know he’s Spider-Man.
And that changes just about everything.

OR: Peter Parker is taken on a Thursday in August. When he finally finds his way back home, it's with more than just a few new nicks and bruises in tow.

Summary
Peter leans down to kiss Michelle once on the forehead, faltering slightly before he begins to, again, run a hand through her curls. It’s a little more urgent this time. Lingers against her skin. Michelle hazards a guess that the chill in her blood has broken into a full-blown fever.
“Don’t,” she murmurs half-heartedly, making no move to pull away from the soothing, rhythmic motions of his hand against her scalp. Her eyes feel heavy, itchy. “I don’t want to get you sick.”
“I don’t get sick.”
Michelle thinks of trembling hands. Blown pupils. The ribs she can feel through his shirt and the apartment he hasn’t left in two weeks.
Yes, she thinks, as his fingers continue to comb their way softly through her hair. You do.

OR: In the aftermath of an unspeakable tragedy, MJ and Peter attempt to have themselves a merry little Christmas.

Summary
Clark kicks his feet the entire rest of his way back to the Planet, spinning gunshots and grandfathers and conversations between kids who don’t know any better through his mind until Lois’s coffee is practically cold.
Wrong place, wrong time.
Just got in the way.
He grits his teeth as the elevator doors to the Planet slide closed in front of him.
“Tell him nothing, Superman.”
That wasn’t how it happened.
--
OR: In the aftermath of Luthor and a clone and a rift that nearly swallows Metropolis, there's only one hero's story Clark Kent wants to tell.

Summary
The beginning of the end is easy to pinpoint.
It starts with MJ Watson arriving, four hours late with sunglasses resting on her head, jaw working on a piece of gum that went stale on hour two of her drive.It starts with Gwen Stacy who hadn’t wanted to go into another shitty college dorm, dating Peter Parker who couldn’t afford to move out of his Aunt’s spare room.
It starts with Peter Parker in a sweat stained t-shirt after unloading her moving van without her presence or even an introduction, watching on as his girlfriend tries to clear the air by wrapping her arms around MJ in a welcoming hug. He doesn’t know the journey she’s been on because she is not inclined to share that sort of thing with strangers.

Summary
Morgan’s never claimed to have great impulse control, and when Oliver Hammer, son of Justin Hammer, brags about the stupidly expensive
rockdiamond his family is using as interior decor before being an absolute douche bag to her, she doesn’t feel particularly conflicted about deciding to take it off their hands to prove a point.She will admit that continuing to commit felonies is not something she expected to come out of it, but then again, she’s always enjoyed a good time. The creation of her alter ego—complete with a series of gorgeous supersuits—is just an added bonus, no matter what Peter or MJ have to say about it.
//
Or, Morgan Stark’s life of crime begins at a gala, but Black Cat’s career doesn’t stop there.

Summary
“My boyfriend’s missing," Michelle says.
“Really? Did he get lost?”
Someone steps out of Tony’s way. Michelle glares at him—how novel. “No,” she replies.
“Then you’ve filed a missing persons report?”
“Yes, but the police haven’t found anything.”
“Sad. Well, maybe if you give them a bit more time.”
“You and I both know the NYPD isn’t exactly known for being reliable.”
Tony laughs. “So what were you wanting to do next to find him? Is he chipped? Maybe if you offer a cash reward—”
“I’m thinking of involving someone with a little better surveillance of the city than the cops. But since they can be kind of hard to get a hold of, I knew I needed to be a little more forward than usual.”
Tony doesn’t know the last time he was interrupted.
“A superhero, then?”
Michelle speaks through gritted teeth: “That’s not what I said.”
//
Or, Peter Parker has disappeared, his loved ones want him back badly enough to do something stupid, and something else is afoot in NYC. Tony Stark—a superior Tony Stark—enjoys the hunt.

Summary
Pain, Peter’s learned, is relative.
Subjective. Fleeting. Impossible to measure.
He knew from his biology classes that pain was less a feeling but more of a chemical— neurons traveling together and communicating. Brain synapses signaling to each other what is, what was, what will be.
Pain is intangible, objectively speaking.
Right up until the moment it isn’t.
