    Summary

    Peter Parker had long since come to terms with the fact that the life of Spider-Man was the only one he was allowed to live. Trying anything else, trying to be more had only ever ended in tragedy.

    Peter Parker could not be Peter Parker.

    But Spider-Man was not perfect, either. Spider-Man had failed to save Jean Grey. Spider-Man could never have saved Jean Grey. Peter Parker was the only one who could do that.

    And now, Peter Parker was Jean Grey's only tether in the world. A tether that had nearly unravelled as soon as she had found it. A tether she refused to lose like she had lost her last. A tether she would never abandon.

    And so, once more, he would be made to balance both Spider-Man and Peter Parker. But would he finally succeed this time?
