    Summary

    “I don’t want to intrude.”

    “You’re not intruding at all.” MJ unlocks her door and steps inside, gesturing with her head for him to follow. “Besides, I’m just repaying you for the flowers.”

    “You don’t have to,” Peter insists. “I was just being nice.”

    “Then I’m being nice too. Come on. I have too much food and only myself for company.” 

    She holds up the plastic bag in her hand, where Peter can see two boxes of takeout inside.

    “Okay,” Peter agrees, his hunger winning against his common sense. “Thank you for having me.” 

     


     

    Peter has done a good job avoiding Ned and MJ for the past four years. Until they both moved in across the hall and began inviting him for meals and giving him leftovers (suspiciously looking freshly cooked). He really shouldn’t get involved in their lives anymore, but Peter Parker is broke, hungry, and can’t resist the temptation of delicious food and the chance to talk to his friends again.

    Or: Healing and loving through awkward leftovers, impromptu lunch hangouts, and maybe admitting Peter’s not quite satisfied with his life as he thought he was.

    Summary

    “You need to stay calm, buddy.” 

    Don’t be so dramatic, buddy. Comb your hair, buddy. You can’t wear that, buddy. Speak up, buddy. You’re always crying, buddy. Don’t be a pussy, buddy. Grow some damn balls, buddy. You’re a fucking idiot, buddy.

    “I am calm.”

    In which Hopper always knew Steve was his son, but he never did anything about it.

    Summary

    In the wake of Peter Parker erasing himself from the memories of his friends and family, not to mention the entire universe, he's doing as well as can be expected. Three years later, he's attending ESU, trying to work three jobs alongside getting two degrees, and still going out as Spider-Man. He's fine, really. Everything is just fine. That is until a run-in with the law and a DNA test shatter the carefully constructed facade that Peter had made his life.

    -

    “Your blood matches a sample the FBI has on file from a kidnapping case.” Agent Carisi opens the thicker file. “A four-year-old boy taken while on vacation with his father about twenty years ago.”
    Peter’s breathing speeds up.
    “Authorities took fingerprint and DNA samples from the boy’s room, and at the father’s behest, we continue to test them against any that are placed within any system we have access to.”
    A piece of paper with lab results lays atop the file. It gets picked up and placed on the table.
    “This afternoon, we finally got a match.”

    Summary

    His hands rake his hair. His eyes sting, and his head pounds mercilessly with that familiar pressure. He just needs to breathe.

    It hurts, but it’s okay. If Henderson needs someone to blame, he can be that person. He’s good at that, has done it before, knows how. Hell, he’ll be whatever his kid needs him to be, so long as his kid still needs him. So long as Henderson stays.

    OR: A Steve Harrington character study, picking up post S5E5 fight.

    OR, OR: Why is it so hard for Steve Harrington to admit he just needs help?

    Summary

    There. That tangle of thick vines… she recognised it. That was right by where Steve had been attacked earlier. She moved quickly over to it, spotting the three dead bats clumped together, black blood spreading from their bodies.

    If that was where Steve had been attacked, that meant that the gate was just a few feet behind her. Nancy whipped around, stepping blindly forwards, eyes raking over the ground ahead of her.

    The gate was nowhere to be seen.

    They were too late.

    “Oh shit.”

    ———

    When Vecna opens his gates by killing his victims in s4, they don’t stay open forever, trapping the older teens inside the upside down indefinitely.
