    Summary

    “He lost everything—”
    “She had nothing—”

    “—And even then, he promised me himself.”
    “—And at that moment, all I could offer her was myself."

    “I don’t deserve him.”
    “She deserves more than me.”

    “He’s everyone's favorite hero—”
    “I’m literally just a guy wearing spandex—”

    “And I’m just a mutant girl."
    “And she’s the Phoenix.” 

    “I want to give him the world.”
    “She deserves the world and then more.”

    ***

    Peter has a low opinion of himself (shocking) and thinks he doesn't deserve to be jealous. I mean... Jean Gray is powerful and pretty, so it's only natural that everyone is crushing on her.

    And Jean... Poor Jean...

    Jean Grey is putting her life on the line fighting off everyone trying to grab her spider.

    ***
    This is about a boy and a girl.

    They're going to be okay. They’ll live a beautiful life together. They’ll get to know beautiful people. They’ll create many beautiful things, do beautiful things, and be surrounded by love.

    They’ll love…It just takes a lot of mistakes and heartache to get there.

    (They’ll get there. I promise.)

    Summary

    Run, run, don't trail behind, keep moving
    The beasts won't stop 'til we're dead
    All the scrapes on our knees
    Will tell you where we've been, where we have bled

    So they did.
    They ran.
    They chased them.
    So they ran.

    Won't lay down our heads 'til the day is won
    Won't stop running 'til we reach the sun
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
    Chasing all the things that are keeping us young
    We won't stop running 'til we reach the sun
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

    They had almost nothing.
    No stability.
    No constant safety.
    But they had each other.

    Oh, we're building a home
    With the mud and the stones and the branches we bind
    We're all just searching for something
    Bigger than we're all able to find

    So they made the road their home.
    They made where they were enough.
    They didn't need walls.
    All they needed was each other.

     

    Follow Peter Benjamin Parker and Jean Elaine Grey as they take the long way home...

    Summary

    Jean Grey's team knows one version of her — quiet, careful, composed. They have no idea there's another version entirely, unguarded and tender, that belongs only to the man whose ring she's kept closer to her heart than her hand — the one who found his way behind every wall she'd ever built.

    What they have has always been built from little things, the ones that often go unnnoticed — and when the truth finally arrives, quiet as everything else about them, her team gets to see all the small, ordinary things they never thought to ask about.

    Summary

    Then, several weeks later, a knock came at his front door.

    He hadn't been expecting anyone.

    He pushed himself away from the desk and made his way toward the door. When he opened it, he was met with a sight that left him momentarily speechless.

    Surprise came first.

    Then relief.

    After weeks of searching for her, Peter had never imagined that Jean would be the one to find him.

    Yet there she was, standing on his doorstep.

    She wore what she seemed to favor most—a loose, oversized jacket with the hood pulled over her head, casting most of her face into shadow. Still, Peter could see enough to know that she looked well.

    Better than he had expected, considering everything that had happened.

    For a few seconds, neither of them said anything.
    Peter simply stood there, taking her in, trying to convince himself that she was really standing in front of him.

    Jean finally broke the silence.

    “Can I come in?”

    Summary

    Xavier's is loud. Every mind bleeds into every other mind and Jean is so, so tired of the noise. Peter Parker's frequency is the only thing in her head that doesn't feel like static. She reaches out expecting him to shut her out. He doesn't. This is probably a mistake. She's going to do it again tomorrow.
