To Feel Myself Beloved On This Earth

Summary:

It’s been three months since The Spot nearly tore the fabric of the multiverse to shreds.
Three months since the entirety of the Spider-Society fought in the biggest battle of their lives.
Three months since Miles Morales single-handedly proved Miguel’s theory of canon events wrong.

It’s been three months of Miguel tearing himself apart every day, choking on the guilt of his sins.

And now his dead daughter appears before him, dressed in a spider suit.

- - -

Or: Miguel gets a second chance from the multiverse, and maybe, just maybe, he won't mess it up this time.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Somewhere in the haze, a child’s laughter echoes within the mind of a man.

 

Where have you been?

Away.

Doing what?

That’s classified.

…Earth 928C? Miguel, don’t tell me–

I wasn’t planning on telling you anything.

You disappeared for three months. Three months, Miguel. And what have you been doing? Playing house?

…

Is this even allowed?

I…I don’t know. You don’t understand–

Jesus, Miguel, did you kill him?

No! Shock, of course, I didn’t. He died–from a robbery. I couldn’t just let them live on like that. I’m just protecting them.

…

Be careful, Miguel. 

I will. I am.
