    Summary

    SEQUEL TO THE PETER PARKER THEORY

    A year and a half after losing his world, Peter Parker is still learning how to live in this one.

    Life has settled into a rhythm—classes at Empire State University, part-time work at Wayne Enterprises’ R&D branch in Manhattan, and quiet weekends with the family he never expected to have. He’s stepped away from being Spider-Man, traded web-slinging for late-night research, and focused on helping where he can. Things are calm.

    Winter break offers the promise of warmth, family dinners at Wayne Manor, and maybe—just maybe—a chance to breathe.

    Then the Gotham Bridge goes up in flames.

    Sirens scream across the city. Smoke chokes the skyline. And just like that, the fragile peace Peter built shatters. Muscle memory kicks in, adrenaline surges, and the weight of responsibility comes crashing back. Because as much as he wants to stay on the sidelines, some habits—and heroes—die hard.

    Because in Gotham, nothing burns by accident.

    And when calm turns to chaos, standing still is never an option.

    WARNINGS: Temporary Character Death. Lots of Mourning. Some Fluff. Some Comedy. Mostly Angst.
