NEW SERIES OMGGGGGGG WE WOULD LOVE THAT

basically she has new powers that are insane and is in love with peter and peter is just a guy, idk.

****

You jolted awake and felt the simmering heat dissipating from your veins as you sat up and gripped at your chest. Heaving a deep breath in you looked over to the sliver of light coming through your bedroom door.

Peter filled the entire doorframe, leaning on it as he looked in at you. You looked at him, his face stoic, before looking to your phone and seeing it was 3am.

"What are you doing here?" you whispered, curling your knees up to your chest.

Peter pushed the door open a bit more to step inside. He closed it behind him softly and cleared his throat. You'd always admired Peter for his confidence and maturity at all moments. In this moment however, in nothing but his pajamas in the dead of night, his uncertainty and hesitancy caught you slightly off guard.

"You scared me today," he admitted, causing your chest to tighten.

"I'm sorry. I thought I had it under control. I'll do better next time; I just need -"

"No," Peter sat down on the edge of your bed, "No, Y/N, that's not - no."

"I know I'm endangering the team."

"You're not," Peter shook his head again, "I forget sometimes, is all."

"Forget what?"

"We're children, basically. And you're holding more power within your body than the entire government would know what to do with if they found out. You scared me today not because you lost control for a moment. We can work on that. You scared me because you were on display for the whole world to see and I'm terrified you'll be taken away from me - from us."

You wanted to throw up. You remembered Peter's face looking down at you as the helicopter had circled above. His expression had been murderous and his words, "Come closer and I'll kill you," rattled in your brain when agents descended to check on the situation.

"I'm not going anywhere unless they drag me away kicking and screaming. And even then, I'd like to see them try."

Peter hesitated, his fingers tugging and twisting together in his lap before he reached out and grasped your one hand in both of his.

Your entire body lit on fire as Peter kissed the back of your hand and then squeezed it, looking into your eyes, "I like the determination."

"Good," you squeaked, wanting to die.

You'd been feeling a crack of sizzling want and raw need in your body for this boy now for months and this was the first sign of any affection outside of friendship he'd shown you. But then again, this was Peter - affectionate with all. You couldn't tell though if this was something he would do with any other female team member who had had a rough day - Kate, Kamala, Cassie, Riri. You remembered Peter grabbing Riri by the head and kissing your loudly on the forehead when she figured out that glitch in the surveillance system and his declaration of, "I've never been more in love with you," as she laughed.

This was probably the same.

And Kate. There was always something with Kate.

You were just teammates. You were forged together by these powers that raged inside the molecules of your muscles and made you into beings capable of things outside of your wildest dreams. That was all. You losing control of your emotions for Peter would endanger the team just as much as you losing control over your powers.

Things were good right now, all things considered. There was no reason for you to ruin things now. You were not a stupid, lovesick girl. You were just a girl, lovesick.

"I'll train harder," you whispered.

Peter sighed and moved your hand up so it was flush against his. Palm to palm and fingers to fingers before he shifted his slightly and rested his fingers gently in between yours. You both stared at your interlocked hands.

"I need you to hear me," he said calmly, "You're already doing too much. You're dreaming in your sleep, activating your powers, and your body isn't resting. Don't make me sedate you."

His tone was soft and quiet, but there was a tense warning in there. He squeezed your hand and nodded at you, causing you to nod back. You were burning yourself out and soon there wouldn't be anything left of you to burn if you kept at it.

"Well we wouldn't want that, would we," you rocked his hand in your back and forth awkwardly, "What about you?"

Peter flinched slightly. It was so minuscule anyone could have missed it. But you were watching him like a hawk.

"What about me?" he asked, rubbing his thumb over you knuckle. He wasn't looking you in the eyes anymore.

"Are you taking care of yourself?" you asked. You tugged his hand slightly towards you to make him look up. His eyes caught yours and you held them firmly. "Are you getting the rest you need?"

Peter blinked. "No one's ever asked me that."

"Well," you leaned back resting your back against your pillow. You let go of his hand and brought yours to your lap where you clasped them together. Peter's hand landed on your knee over the blankets and he left it there for a moment before he pulled it back slowly.

"I think the question you need to ask yourself is not if I'm getting enough rest, but if you are considering you're up at 3am watching me sleep."

Peter cracked a small smile and stood up, "You're right. But maybe I'd get more sleep if you weren't putting off glow stick energy in the middle of the night."

You smirked, "I'll do my best."

"I will sedate you," Peter pointed at you as he headed out of your room, "I'll do it."

"I wouldn't put it past you, captain," you saluted, "Get some rest."

"You too."

Peter lingered in your doorframe for a moment and you stared back at him unabashedly. You noted the bags under his eyes and the messy way his hair was plastered to his neck from tossing and turning in his sleep. You wanted to smooth it down and soothe him with kisses.

"Goodnight, Y/N."

"Goodnight, Peter."

Peter closed the door and turned back to the hallway. His heart constricted tightly in his chest and he winced, rubbing his fist over his heart. He recalled the exhausted look on your face earlier, eyes unfocused and eyelashes fluttering, as you laid beneath him up on that rooftop, hair whipping around from the helicopter above. You'd touched his face so softly. Your fingertips had brushed against his cheek with such affection before you'd started to lose consciousness.

"Come closer and I'll kill you," he'd snarled to anyone approaching. The fear and rage had been violent in him at that moment, and he feared where it came from.

"Fuck," Peter whispered, tugging at his hair, as he made his way back into the room. He laid back down in bed on his side and instead of going back to sleep, he watched the crack under his door waiting for the soft amber glow to give him another reason to check in on you.

EZEKIEL SIMS IN THE NEW MADAM WEB TRAILER COMING AFTER THE SPIDEY GIRLS I AM SCREAMING. YOU DO THIS EVERY TIME HOW DO YOU ALWAYS KNOW. YOUR FICS PREDICT THE FUTURE. YOU ARE A LEGEND

why wasn't he wearing any fucking shoes.

[hey-marlie]

I just had to say I absolutely adore your writing. I have reread both at least a hundred times(not even joking) just wondering if you still write Peter Parker stories here?

Ps reading your stories is the highlight of my day

i literally have an entire fic already written and then i forgot about it so idk maybe next time i'm having a full menty b i'll just drop it

[hey-marlie]

I just started watching far from home for the first time honestly since theaters and I got 20 minutes in and turned it off to go read your fic instead. You got so much of the characters right in your fic and they are so relatable and easy to read. The story is so much more compelling and the research you have done into the comics make it all feel real. Thanks for filling the void

@ marvel still open for hire u whores

[hey-marlie]

hey marlie welcome back ! every time u answer an ask i lose ten years off of my life btw

… like in a good way ?

[hey-marlie]

You are an agent of chaos, ms ma'am.

I dabble

[hey-marlie]

Just a casual ask - How much of your Young Avengers spidey fic you dropped part of a bit ago have you written? And will we ever see anymore of it?

the whole thing is written

[hey-marlie]

remember when i started writing an entire young avengers/spider-man fanfic with a storyboard of 15 chapters plus prologue and epilogue and then just never did anything with it

guess who remembered her tumblr password

[hey-marlie]

Do you think you'll still pop into tumblr once in a while? Will miss you if you don't, but I understand everyone has lives outside of this app... Well, everyone except me.

well for like a year i forgot my password and also couldn't remember what email this account was under, so ... hello again

[hey-marlie]

The real MVPs from JOOR/IYNM are literally Thandie and Lazlo. They are the pure chaos that I need on a regular basis. Before all this sh*t went down they were just some normal goofy college kids then got thrown into this whole Peter Parker situation and were like “ok, we can do that”

Like Lazlo found out Peter was Spider-Man because he had to TREAT A FREAKING STAB WOUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR APPARTMENT and after the fact he was like “oh Peter you should really consider drinking more water” … LIKE EXCUSE ME?! Does this not call for a more intense reaction? Lmao

And then Thandie always comes through with the random food item to just fully throw at Peter. And I know full and well that she probably turned around to Lazlo right after she threw that cabbage or whatever and was like “I’ll Venmo you” because Lazlo is definitely the one who grocery shops (no one can tell me otherwise lol)

They are the best chaotic duo I’ve seen and I fully love them and would do anything for them. Thank you for listening to my ted talk

honestly looking back some of the shit i wrote was so unhinged it's not a surprise some of the wild shit that comes out in my therapy sessions

[hey-marlie]

Marley!!! I was talking to a friend who reads marvel comics and she was telling me she wanted the avengers to fight the beyonders and i was like what? they already fought them! against doom on that other planet and she was like what are you talking about. then i realized i was thinking of your version of secret wars hahahahahaha

[hey-marlie]

slay queen

[hey-marlie]

just wanted to let you know how much of a comfort read JOOR and IYNM are to me like i always find myself sitting down to re-read it after like a stressful month so thank u!!!

i'm so glad it's there for you ! makes me happy to know my writing is doing some good

[hey-marlie]
