spiderman’s sweetheart
spider!eren x f!reader
you find yourself helping out your friendly neighborhood spiderman
content: spiderman au!, mentions of violence/blood/injury, a very corny spider gang, pieck + hange best girlfriends and aunts, they keep calling the female titan a pervert, the iconic spiderverse monologue at the end
an: based on a request I received from @cutiejg hope you like it sweetie pie!!!! ur request made me so excited I just had to write it now bc I LOVE LOVE LOVE SPIDERMAN
--
Eren’s late. He’s late, he’s late, he’s late.
His skateboards not moving him nearly fast enough and the stupid fucking school security stopping him every ten feet isn’t helping him either. And the cracks in the pavement slowing him down and the soreness from last night aren’t exactly boosters either.
When he reaches the basketball courts, he sees you sitting there and feels his heart drop - black sunglasses perched on your face, your hair glowing in the sun, and your nose stuck in a book. As he walks up, he instantly recognizes the cover of the book you’re reading - The Heir to the Jedi - one of his favorite novels from when he was younger.
He picks up his skateboard from the ground, running his hand through his hair one time before he clears his throat to get your attention. He watches intently as look up, giving him a smile as you yank your earbuds out of your ears.
“Hi. I’m Eren. Eren Yeager. From the yearbook? We uh- went to elementary school together. And middle school. The same class too - with that hardass Mr. Levi? And uh-I’m sorry I’m late, I just got out of work.”
Work. In his job as the cities most wanted vigilante, Spiderman.
He’s cut off by the sound of you laughing, your nimble fingers pulling your sunglasses off the tip of your nose and pulling them up to hold your hair back.
Fuck. This is infinitely harder when you’re making direct eye contact with him, glowing eyes peering into his.
“I know who you are, Eren.”
“You do?”
“Of course, I do. How could I forget the guy who spilled orange juice all over Mr. Levi - the clean freak hardass himself’s - desk?
Eren feels his cheeks burn, embarrassment coursing through his blood as he fumbles with the camera around his neck. Great. All you remember is the time he got yelled at and sent to the principal’s office in seventh grade for being clumsy.
It’s not his fault he spilled the fucking orange juice. You just happened to look at him right at that second, pulling your face up from your textbook, to smile at him and his hands just started sweating and it just happened.
“Right, uh- so you like Star Wars?”
He watches you gather your belongings - a pale green waterbottle, your solid black backpack - covered in pins and ribbons as you both head down to the courts. One pin catches his eyes - the signature spider emblem right in the middle. The “I Stand with Spiderman” pins.
A month after he started this whole Spiderman thing, the police chief called a task-force, aimed towards arresting the “spider vigilante” that was wrecking havoc. He almost got caught, backed up into a corner during one of his first fights, but the people in the city blocked him off, giving him enough time to get away.
It was…a whole moment. The community, the people - they love Spiderman. So much that they started a whole movement to protect him, started by a group called “The Lions.” The names corny, but they’ve protected him more times than not so…he appreciates it. And that pin - it means you’re a part of it.
Not only are you a part of a group that supports him, but you’re the class president of the school. And he’s the editor in chief of the yearbook. And in your presidential duties, you’ve tasked him with joining you at all your club progress meetings to take pictures of each club. It’s easier to do it together so you don’t take up that much time from each club - one meeting to get all the business sorted out.
“Huh? Oh! Because of the book. Yeah, my little brother, Falco. Really into that stuff.”
“Does he have a favorite character?”
“Kylo Ren.”
“I was Kylo Ren for Halloween. Armin, Jean, and Connie were the knights.”
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Why the fuck did he just tell you that he was a nerdy fucking Star Wars character for Halloween? Did he seriously just admit that he has the same interests as your fucking eleven year old little brother?
“That’s clever, since it sounds like your name and all. Eren - Ren. Falco and I went as Harry and Hermione.”
“Ah. You should be Rey and Finn next year. Because you’re like….a ray?”
He watches you turn over to look at him, eyes squinting in confusion.
Because she’s a ray? Eren Yeager, literal fucking spider-human who can swing from literal buildings, and the best he can come up with is you’re a ray. He couldn’t even finish the sentence and say ray of sunshine?
“If I’m a ray, than you’re a segment.”
He laughs so hard, he snorts and it’s literally so fucking embarrassing he wants to crawl in a hole.
Math joke. You made a math joke. Because if she’s a ray, a part of a line that has no fixed end point, then he’s a segment - a line with two distinct end points.
Eren tries his best to concentrate, but your sweet honey voice and your soft flowery smell make it hard to pay attention. He snaps the pictures. He walks you to your car. He goes to sleep with a smile on his face.

from y/n l/n
you: eren!!! the basketball pictures are so great. ty for all ur help :’)
Armin, Connie, Jean, and Eren all hover their heads over the phone - lying flat on his bed spread - trying their best to write out the best response.
This is serious. Eren’s had a crush on you since the fourth grade. And this is his chance.
“You should tell her thank you. And that you want to get coffee with her.”
Connie grabs Armin by the collar of his shirt, nearly strangling him in the process.
“Are you fucking kidding, Armin? He might as well say he wants to have sex with her.”
Eren can feel his cheeks heat up as Armin and Connie start arguing, half swatting each other on the face. Armin’s screaming into Connie’s ear, the both of them tangling on the floor now.
“What the fuck are you on about, Connie? It’s coffee shop, not a fucking bar.”
Eren webs the two of them off each other, giving them both a smack on the back of the head as they stop.
“You can’t web us Eren. We’re your guys in the chair!”
Originally, Eren had one guy in the chair. Armin. A bloody genius at all things science and technology - he couldn’t have designed his web slingers without him. Granted, he tried but they didn’t work as well.
But then he had to tell Connie. Because Connie had an in at the fabric store, his best friend Sasha’s mom as the primary designer, and he desperately needed someone to design a suit so he could keep his identity a secret. So he told him. Because that’s the only way Sasha’s mom would agree. If her biological son basically begged her to make a suit.
Connie’s a loudmouth. Who told Jean. Who isn’t entirely useless. Sure he’s got a pretty big fucking head, but his dad is also a cop - meaning Jean can steal their radio systems so Eren can respond to events faster than them.
A spider gang.
“You’re both some big fucking idiots, that’s what you are. Where the fuck were you raised, Connie? A barn?”
Eren, Connie, and Armin immediately stop talking the second they hear the swishing sound fill the air, turning their heads to find Jean with the phone in his hands. He sent a message.
Jean’s smirking at the three of them, shaking the phone in his hands. Eren immediately stalks over, his eyes boggling out of his fucking sockets when he reads the response.
to y/n l/n
eren: thanks bae!
“Jean Kirstein. Count your fucking days.”
He immediately webs Jean to the wall behind him, slapping across the face one time for good measure as well.
“What gives? It’s sweet - calling back to the ray joke you told us about.”
Jean yanks his hand off the drywall, placing the stray webs onto Eren’s bed spread.
“The ray joke? Your dumbass literally responded with ‘thanks bae’”
Jean sits up, snatching the phone from Eren’s hands as he runs his eyes over the phone again. Jean’s face turns uncharacteristically pink, an apologetic look on his face. Eren tags him to the wall behind him, spiderwebs holding his wrists up properly to the drywall this time.
“Touch my phone again and I’ll web you upside down from the Empire State Building next.”
“It was autocorrect! I thought I typed ray.”
Eren webs over Jean’s mouth to prevent him from talking any further. He plops on the floor, head in his hands.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. This can’t get any more embarrassing. First he spills that orange juice in front of you and then calls you a ray and is late to meeting with you and now sends you this fucking horrifying text?
You’re going to block him. You’re going to block him and Eren’s going to lose his chance with you. Eren is most definitely going to hang Jean upside down from the Empire State Building.
His phone dings in the air and the three of them - Connie, Armin, and Eren - nearly drop the phone off the fucking bed trying to read the response. Jean’s voice is muffled against the web - sounding an awful lot like “if it’s a good response, you have to set me up with Mikasa”
from y/n l/n
you: you’re welcome sweetheart :DDD
Armin and Connie are fucking shaking Eren by the neck, the three of them screaming in the air. Jean’s still muffling against his web, begging to find out what you responded.
Eren ignores that embarrassing heart skip in his chest.
-
“Where is it guys?”
Eren turns up his earpiece, swinging towards the end of the buildings. He could hear the crashing as he was walking back to his apartment, decking into the alley way to suit up.
Armin - in all of his fucking genius - created matching earpieces for the four of them to use when Eren was on sight, everyone making sure a base was covered. Armin reported on the casualty, trying his best to think of ways to use the enemies weaknesses to Eren’s advantage.
Connie watched the security cams Jean gave him access to, finding the best access route for Eren to get in and out of places. And Jean, in all his annoyingness, kept surveillance on the fucking cops trying to arrest him at every move.
“Rose Middle School. Apparently, it’s like some fucking superhuman female titan and she’s giant. She’s wrecking through the parks right now.”
“On it, Armin. Jean and Connie - keep me updated on where the cops are.”
“Make sure a flaming car hits Mr. Levi.”
“Shut the fuck up, Jean.”
Eren turns his ear piece down, swinging into his old middle school as he surveys the problem.
And Lord have mercy, she is fucking giant. A chiseled titan of pure muscle, striking blue eyes and blonde hair watching him swing through the air. She’s currently demolishing the PE equipment, which he imagines can’t be too bad, given it’s centuries old.
Maybe they’ll finally replace the pickle ball equipment with a real sport - like basketball of volleyball. Eren webs her ankles and arms together first, knocking her down to the side.
“Hey lady. Have you ever thought about like…putting clothes on? This feels weirdly inappropriate.”
She only roars in response, breaking open the webs around her ankles as she reaches around for him in the air. Eren swings around her, basically flying through the air, as he tags her to the tree behind her. He taps into the ear piece, waiting for a response.
“Best idea is to leave her there for now, Eren. There’s a kid around the block, make sure he’s okay before you try again.”
“On it, Armin.”
He swings around the block, to find one pale, blonde haired kid - a nose stuck in his book and headphones covering his ears. Did he not just see the hoard of kids running away? Or here that female titan just scream?
He steps down, using his webs to yank the kids headphones off as he steps down in front of him. When the kid looks up, he realizes he has a puddle full of tears in his eyes, his cheeks brazen pink.
“Hey kid.”
He sniffles in response, pressing his hand against his nose.
“Hi.”
He crouches down, holding out his hand to shake.
“I’m Spiderman. What’s your name?”
“Falco.”
“Nice to meet you, Falco. Want to get out of here before that creepy little weird lady comes back?”
“Um, yeah. But my sister is supposed to come get me.”
“Your sister, huh? Did she say where?”
Stupid sister. Was she really planning on getting you from here? This sister couldn’t meet him at the Starbucks across the street?
“Right here. I’m waiting for her to show up so we can leave. She said to listen to music and read my jedi book so I don’t panic.”
Jedi Book. Sister. Falco. You. Holy fucking god, this is your little brother. The one who likes the Kylo Ren.
Right on cue, he can feel his spider sense tingling, with you running behind him - sneakers slapping against the concrete as you sprint. You nearly knock Spiderman over as you grab Falco by the face, cupping his cheeks in your hands as you run your eyes all over him.
Your face is all scrunched up in panic and Eren can feel his senses heightened at the sight of you, this kid, and this creepy fucking titan lady a few feet away from you. You need to leave. Now. He needs you to leave because he can’t focus if you’re here.
“You okay, Coco? Let’s go. Right now.”
“Okay, okay.”
But before you can, a large crashing sound knocks the three of you to the ground, the stupid female titan standing over the breadth of the elementary school, crystal blue eyes glaring down at the three of you. Spiderman webs up first, spinning around her as he calls out to her.
“God, lady. You should really put some clothes on. You’re flashing entire titty to a kid right now.”
All you can do is look up in shock, the titan’s crystal blue eyes staring into yours. Your hold on Falco is nearly deathlike and you shaking Falco’s arms as hard as you can to signal him to follow you.
You begin to pull him but feel a tug when Falco doesn’t follow. He’s crying hard - tears pouring out of his eyes as he looks down at his feet.
“I can’t move- I-I’m scared, Y/N.”
You reach down, pressing your hands firm against his shoulders as you squeeze.
“This isn’t the time to be scared, Falco. You’re okay. Spiderman’s right there and he’s dealing with-”
You look up to find Spiderman, trapped in the palm of the titan’s hand, a broken device in his hand and one splayed on the floor, not a few feet away from you. You leave Falco where he’s standing, scrambling over to inspect it.
It’s small and rectangular - blue and red splayed all over the intricate design work. In the tiniest of handwritings, there’s a small piece of text in the corner.
property of the spider gang bitch
Spider Gang? That’s so fucking corny.
You hear Spiderman yelling out at you, refocusing to your vision to him, where he’s still trapped in her hand.
“Mind giving me my webslinger back, sweetheart?”
“Uh- yeah. I-”
Before you can toss it up to him, the female titan stomps straight on to the concrete, knocking you and all the nearby outposts to the ground. Your ankle is immediately trapped under the mailbox to your right, the webslinger still in your hand.
You try your best to yank your leg out from the metal, but you can feel your ankle burning - the pressure on your leg making your chest writhe in pain. Falco runs over, his hands in your hair as his hot tears start hitting your cheeks.
“Hey. Hey hey hey. Falco, right?”
You both angle your head up, looking at Spiderman talking to the two of you. The titan’s still got him crushed in her hand, but she’s distracted by the sound of the police cars coming up the block. Falco’s taken a few steps forward, towards the stupid alien mutant whatever the fuck titan she is.
“You’re a strong kid, right?”
“Not really. I didn’t pass my physical test last week.”
“Not strong in that way, kid. Strong in the head, the heart.”
“Um. I don’t know, Spiderman. I’m kind of lame when it comes to stuff like this.”
Eren racks his head. He just needs his fucking webslinger back so he can get you guys out of here. And not get arrested. And not break every bone in his body from this death grip this naked lady has on him. And to make sure you’re okay.
“Kylo Ren. He was pretty lame when he started out too right? He had to go to the special Jedi school with Luke and kind of learn everything from the start.”
Eren sees Falco’s eyes light up, his tears lightly subsiding as he finally meets his eyes up to look at Eren. Bingo.
“Yeah.”
“And then he became really, really cool because he just tried it out right?”
“Yeah and then he became evil and got the Knights of Ren.”
“Okay, kid. Maybe ignore that part.”
He sees Falco laugh, the female titan squeezing him harder in his grasp as she looks around, the police helicopters, right on fucking cue, starting to surround the three of you.
“Okay, Falco. I need you to be strong. Like Kylo Ren, right now. Your sister, she’s got my webslinger in her hand. I need you to get it and then toss it to me. Can you do that?”
Eren watches Falco nod, turning back to grab his precious, precious web slinger and toss it up to him. He misses the first time. And then the second time. But on the third time, he aims just right, the magnetic latch sliding in and Eren webbing this stupid titan bitch right in the fucking eyes.
He swings down, lifting the metal mailbox from your legs as he lifts you into your arms, carrying you bridal style. He looks down at you - sweat coating your forehead and your eyes blinking closed. Falco’s at his side watching expectantly, his hand in his hair.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart. I’ll get you to a hospital right away, okay?”
He watches you nod in pain, crimson red blood running down the side of your leg.
“Spiderman. Can I come too?”
“Kid. That’s a stupid question. Climb on my back. We’ll take Y/N to the hospital, okay?”
He swings away as the cops close in, the female titan encasing in steam as he swings away. He taps into his earpiece.
“Someone watch what happens. See if she escapes through the steam somehow since she’ll definitely be back. And where’s the closest hospital?”
“King Street, Eren. Pieck should be working.”
“Got it, Armin. Thank you.”
He swings as fast as he can, trying to ignore Falco’s death grip on his neck and your eyes fluttering closed as he swings into Pieck’s open window.
A special edition to the Spider Gang (unofficially, of course) - Pieck is the best fucking asset in the world. A Nurse Practitioner he once saved from getting robbed, she’s now indebted to him entirely. And she’s also his Aunt Hange’s girlfriend - not that either of them know he’s Spiderman.
Not that he would ever ask her for anything personal, he just brings injured civilians caught in his crossfire to her so he can avoid the whole - Are you Spiderman? Do the webs come out of your holes? Can you swing me to work later?
He swings into her office, laying you flat on the gurney in the center of the room and setting Falco down on the couch nearby.
As soon as he settles Falco into the chair, he feels his spider sense tingle and spreads his hand behind his neck, catching the syringe Pieck threw at him before it could hit him. He turns his back, smirking at Pieck through his mask.
“Pieck-chan.”
“I’m calling the police, SpiderFuck.”
“Cmon. I saved your life, you know?”
“That was one time. You’ve almost got me fired three times over.”
“Cmon, cmon Pieck. This girl, I know her. Just help her out, yeah? She’s really sweet, y’know that?”
He watches Pieck divert her eyes past him, focusing on you writhing on the gurney. She sighs as she smacks Eren on the side of the head, reaching forward to attend to your leg.
“Get out of here, SpiderAss. They’ll be circling around the building any minute.”
Eren runs up, tackling Pieck in a hug, before she can protest and swings out the window.
-
You haul your black boot up the door, knocking on the door. You can see “Zoe” inscribed into the little call box, ensuring that you did find the correct apartment from the directory. You can hear a loud rustling behind the door and the door swings open. You’re met with Hange, Eren’s aunt.
“Hi. My name is Y/N. I attend Shiganshina High School. I’m a classmate of Eren’s, I was wondering if he was here.”
“Pieck. Pieck! THERE’S A GIRL HERE TO SEE HIM.”
Eren’s aunt drags you in by the wrists, taking the tin of brownies in your hand and setting it on the table, as they inspect you. Their eyes are glinting with excitement as they smile at you, teetering on their ankles as they talk.
“Do you like Eren? Oh, isn’t he just so nerdy and sweet, I just love him. Do you love him?”
A hand comes straight into Hange’s hair, yanking them back. You follow the line of vision, seeing that the hand belongs to Pieck. The nurse that Spiderman dropped you off to. Only more proof that you’re right.
Pieck leans straight into Hange’s frame, rolling her eyes at Hange as she starts talking to you.
“We were starting to worry about the kid. I thought he was impotent or something.”
“Oh! Uh, no-”
Hange leans over into your space, grabbing you by the shoulders.
“How do you know he’s not impotent? Oh, you two better be having safe sex or I swear to god.”
“No! Oh, no no, I swear it’s not-”
Hange keeps rambling to themselves as they walk around the kitchen, yanking Pieck along with them. Pieck glances to your side, mouthing the words “he’s upstairs” as you shoot her a grateful smile and you start lugging your boot up the stairs.
You knock on the door, voices muffled on the inside as you peak in. When you swing open the door, you find Connie, Eren, Jean, and Armin in a very strange position. The four of them are clearly playing Twister - Eren’s face near Jean’s ass and Connie’s hand right near Armin’s…dick.
“Uh. Hi guys.”
At the sound of your voice, they all quirk their heads towards you, so shocked at your presence that they all tumble on each other. You hear Hange screaming from the bottom of the stairs, her words making your cheeks turn red.
“Eren Yeager. You better not be having sex with that girl in my house!”
You watch Eren tangle out of the mess, rubbing the back of his neck as he screams back at Hange, slamming the door shut. He helps Armin and Jean up, before he turns back to you - his cheeks glowing pink.
“Hi Eren.”
“Hi Y/N. What are you doing here? Is your leg okay?”
You hold out the card, embellished in your sparkly pink stationery and hold it out to him. You bought him a gift card - to Joe’s, the coffee shop near the highschool. You’d seen him bring a half empty cup to class a few times and figured it would be the best gift.
You had to thank him. Because your leg put you out of commission for a week, you hadn’t been coming to school. And he sent you all the assignments (and the answer keys) while you were out. And made sure to tell all the clubs to keep their emails to themselves until you were back. And if you’re right, he’s the one who saved your life.
“This is for you. Thank you - for the homework and the emails. It helped a lot.”
You lean forward and press a kiss to his cheek, the skin soft and warm under your lips. Jean face plants on to the floor, Connie and Armin staring at you in shock.
“Right. I’m Y/N. It’s nice to meet you guys. You’re Connie, Armin, and Jean?”
They all nod, awkwardly shaking their heads as they plant on to Eren’s futon, Eren joining them on the seat. You sit right on Eren’s bed, the sheets Jurassic Park themed, as you face them.
Here goes.
“I know your secret.”
“We know yours.”
Eren smacks Jean across the back of his head, signaling him to shut up.
“I thought about it. Really hard when I was in the hospital. You see, I really didn’t have much to do.”
You lay back on Eren’s bed, pin pointing each of them and what you discovered by the line they’re sitting in. Jean first.
“You know, one of the biggest mysteries about Spiderman is how he manages to get to casualties and robberies so fast. They’re usually reported through the police department, the intercoms only going through the radio.”
The four of them are twitching at your words, after you casually drop the word Spiderman specifically, as you continue.
“There was a radio that went missing a few weeks ago. Police Officer Kirstein lost the intercom on his way home from his shift. It was never recovered.”
Jean turns red at the implication, his knees shaking as he drops his eyes. You’re right. You’re right, you’re right, you’re right. Connie next.
“And you know, Spiderman has a very cool suit. Blue and red, specially stitched and special fabric clothes. I’ve thought long and hard about who could have designed it, but really there’s only one good designer in New York. Lisa Braus.”
You turn your eyes to Connie, whose awkwardly looking around the walls, at anywhere but you.
“Lisa Braus is Sasha Braus’s mother. You know, I’ve heard she can be coerced really easily, she really loves her daughter. I’m sure if you, Connie, gave Sasha say - a promise of a lifetime of free lunches from your parents restaurant - she could have given in and gotten her mom to make the costume. No questions asked.”
Connie wrings his hand around his neck, groaning as he leans back into the futon. Armin’s hands are splayed right across his thighs, surely rubbing the sweat off on his slacks.
“And the web-slingers. Ingenious design, really. There’s only one person who beat me out at the Tech-A-Thon in ninth grade. And it was you, Armin. They have your name written all over it - the design, the metrics. Though, you’re getting kind of sloppy. From the few seconds I looked at it, I think you can pack more webs if you lay them diagonally against the hardware instead of vertically.”
You watch the gears move in Armin’s head as he thinks over your suggestion, turning to Eren to shrug. And then you look at Eren, leaning his elbows on his knees as he looks at you.
“And you. You’re Spiderman. That day, when you saved me and Falco. You told him to be strong, like Kylo Ren. But you don’t know Falco like that. All you know is what I’ve told you And there’s no way Spiderman could have known that - unless you were Spiderman.”
He leans over, his green eyes glaring into yours.
“That’s all a coincidence, Y/N. Maybe you hit your head when you fell on that mailbox.”
You falter for a second. You can’t be wrong. You can’t be wrong because you’re sure of it. You’ve thought it over for the past few days and he has to be. He has to be Spiderman.
“How do you know it was a mailbox? Stop lying, Eren. I know it’s you.”
“No, you don’t-”
Eren stands up and you join him, getting closer to him as you keep talking, trying to convince him that you know.
“You-you took me to Pieck when I got hurt. And while Pieck is just a nurse and anyone would do it, you took me to her specifically. Because you know she’ll fix it. Not just because she’s a nurse who cares about healing people but if she tries to rat you out - you can tell her you’re Spiderman. She’ll defend you like no other because you’re basically her pseudo-kid.”
“You’re making things up, Y/N.”
“And the earpiece. You said “got it, Armin” when you were carrying me to the hospital. I’ve looked and looked. Armin Arlert is the only Armin in Brooklyn. It’s a pretty unique name. And I know if you’re Spiderman and he’s probably the first person you told. You’ve been best friends forever and-
“Y/N. Seriously-
“No, Eren. Because Spiderman called me sweetheart! And I called you sweetheart when you called me bae and you told Pieck that you knew me and that I was a sweet girl when you thought I couldn’t hear you.”
You place your hands on his shoulders, boring your eyes into yours as he looks at you.
“Eren. You’re Spiderman. And I would never, ever tell anyone.”
You watch as he drops his gaze, muttering under his breath.
“Got me all figured out, don’t you sweetheart?”
Eren settles back down on the couch, as Connie, Jean, and Armin start their protests.
“Eren, you can’t just go around telling people you’re fucking Spiderman.”
“You’re a vigilante. Do you know that? Her dad is the fucking police captain who wants your head on a stick.”
“Spider Gang is already way too big as it is. Your identity will get revealed if you keep being an idiot.”
You clear your throat, the four of them craning their heads to look at you. You look down awkwardly at your hands as you sit back down on Eren’s bed, rustling with your keys in your pocket.
“You guys told me a secret. I can tell you one too.”
Jean leans forward, rolling his eyes at you.
“He just admitted he was Spiderman, sweetheart. I don’t think anything compares to that.”
Eren brings his hand down in Jean’s hair and yanks hard.
“Don’t call her that.”
You yank your keys out, fumbling with them in your hands openly.
“You guys know about “I Stand With Spiderman”?”
Connie rolls his eyes, glaring at you.
“Obviously. Shit’s a fucking revolution at this point.”
“I started it. The pins and the spray art and telling everyone.”
You watch the four of them go slack jawed, for what feels like the tenth time today, staring you down. Armin speaks first this time, standing up to run his hand through his hair.
“You-you’re the Lions?”
“Yeah. It’s a stupid name, but-”
Jean cuts you off, nearly strangling you as he shakes your entire frame in his hands.
“That’s fucking impossible. Your dad is a bigger pig than mine and there’s no way in hell his fucking daughter is the one who started the thing that protects Eren every time he’s out there.”
“That’s just the point, Jean. I got mad at my dad. So I started it. I think Spiderman’s the best thing that happened in the community and I knew that people agreed with me. So I did what I knew how to do. Spray paint. Pins. The people.”
Eren stands up, yanking Jean off to grab your hands and lock his fingers with yours.
“The Lions?”
You clear your throat, explaining.
“Harry and Hermione are Gryffindors. And Gryffindors are lions.”
You can feel your cheeks turn pink - from Eren staring at you so close and holding your hands and Armin smiling at the two of you in your peripheral vision. You hold your keys up, dangling them between yours and Eren’s face, your shiny little Lego Harry Potter key chain making Eren’s eyes light up.
Eren lets go of your hands and starts rummaging through his drawers, looking for something. He pulls out a small black string. Her reaches up to push your loose hairs behind your ears, stringing the piece through your ear.
He taps on his own ear, speaking into the mic. His voice vibrates through your, a beaming smile on his face.
“Y/N. Welcome to Spider Gang.”
“That’s a really corny nickname, Eren. Could you really not come up with anything better?” you laugh, smiling at him.
“Says the girl who named a fucking revolution after Harry Potter.” Jean speaks up, glaring at you as he talks.
“Jean. Shut the fuck up.”
“Sorry, Eren.”
-
Eren’s swinging through the buildings, clutching the side of his thigh as he retreats back to his apartment.
Stupid fucking female titan. He’s been encountering her here and there - a total of six times now and he still has yet to understand what she’s doing.
She appears out of nowhere, in locations that have no thread of connection - the elementary school, the coffee shop on the block near the bodega, the botanical garden all the way out of Brooklyn.
He can’t figure it out. She doesn’t speak. She doesn’t talk. No matter how many times he insults her for being a naked pervert, she still doesn’t break.
When he makes it back to his apartment, swinging into his room through the open window, he finds his spider team…down. Armin and Connie are sprawled on the ground, hair all messy and tiredness pressed on their faces as they pore over the new web-slinger designs. Jean’s on the computer, six empty cans of redbull on his desk as he pores over the footage, trying to figure out how she escaped.
And you. You’re sprawled on Eren’s dinosaur sheets, using the DNA samples he gave you as a pillow, lightly drooling onto the results. He reaches down, lifting your head gently as he places it back down onto a real pillow, as you mumble on in your sleep.
“Is she okay, Armin?”
“Ah. She might be taking her Spider Gang duties a little bit too seriously than the rest of us. That and she’s more busy - she’s still doing all of her class president and internship stuff on top of this.”
He sees you move in your sleep, rubbing your eyes with the back of your hand, as you focus in on your surroundings. The second you see Eren, the gash in his thigh, you jump up from the bed, scooting over to examine the gash.
“Eren. Are you okay? You’re okay, right? Because I think I might be on to something and you can get her next time. I-I think she goes to our school or maybe-”
Eren presses his hand to your knee as you take the seat next to him, leaning over to look at the gash.
“Guys. Can I talk to her alone please? And get my dinner from Pieck, there’s no way I can hide this from her.”
Armin, Connie, and Jean close the door behind him, leaving you to help Eren strip out of his suit. You’re trying your best to be gentle - pausing every time he hisses and groans in pain, lightly pulling the fabric out of the gash on his thigh.
After it’s off, you reach for the kit Jean stole from Pieck’s room, cleaning and bandaging the wound. You try your best to not focus on the fact that Eren’s just wears his boxers under the suit and he’s just wearing his boxers right now in front of you.
“Hey.”
“Hi Eren.”
“You know, you don’t have to take your Spider Gang duties so seriously. We’re all trying to figure out who she is and the bulk of it doesn’t have to fall on you.”
“Spider Gang is a stupid name. And yes, I do. They barely spend any time thinking about it - with Jean trying to push back on all the initiatives they’re putting into stop you and Connie and Armin trying to perfect your tech so you can last longer.”
“I last just fine. I just mean…you’re busy. Take a break, I don’t like seeing you guys all so worn out.”
You push hard on the wound on accident, Eren groaning in pain.
“Sorry. But we don’t like seeing you hurt Eren. You’re literally bleeding onto your futon right now and that’s not exactly a fun thing to see either.”
He tilts his head down, his eyes in front of yours.
“Worried about me, sweetheart?”
You feel your cheeks burn, placing your hand in his hair to move his head out of the way. You start placing the bandages over the mark, smoothing them out with your hands.
“Yes, Eren. Sue me. You’re fighting a crazy, perverted naked lady everyday. Arrest me if it’s so criminal to worry about you.”
Eren laughs as he places one of his hands around your face, angling your face up so you look at him. You’re glaring at him, which Eren only returns a soft smile to.
“You don’t have to worry about me. I’m Spiderman.”
“Yes. You’re Spiderman. Not God, Eren. You can get hurt. And you just did. And she’s crazy and-
Eren presses his hands around your waist, pulling you in his lap to sit on him. You’re careful not to rest your legs against his wound, your arms secured around his neck and his around your waist.
“Y/N. Are you scared of her?”
You can feel the tears burning in your eyes at the question, your heart dropping in your chest.
“Horrified, Eren. She-she knocked that mailbox onto my leg and had you in her hand and I just-I thought she was going to crush you and then Falco next. And I dream about it all the time, and it’s just- my leg still doesn’t feel the same and it hurts and-”
Eren tangles one of his hands around your neck, laying your face flat against his neck as he rubs small circles into your back. You’re crying - wet tears falling onto his neck as you rack sobs into his neck.
You’re not going to get hurt. You’re not going to get hurt because he’s Spiderman and he’s going to protect you. And there’s no point in him having any of this if you feel this way.
“You were really brave that day, Y/N. You and Falco.”
“Just Falco, Eren. You-you made him so brave, I feel like his confidence has been better lately and-”
“Even if you were petrified, you were still brave regardless. I’ve seen it happen - people freeze up in shock, freak out when they’re faced with things like this. But here you are, still fighting it, in the way that you can. You’re brave, sweetheart.”
You avoid the tingling in your chest at the nickname, his hands on yours, and his sweet, sweet voice in your ears.
He’s going to find that fucking female titan if it’s the last thing he does.
-
“Armin, what the fuck happened? Why did we just lose connection?”
The four of you - Armin, Connie, Jean, and you - are currently locked in the computer lab, six hours after the school closed. You had planned it all out, set a trap for the Female Titan underneath the school, so that Eren could catch her once and for all.
The problem? Eren just went underground. And he had been talking to you for the last twenty minutes. But you heard it, that loud, high-pitched feminine voice and then static in all four of your earpieces.
Armin’s smacking on his computer, Jean clicking through all the footage. All of the camera’s are still up and running, all but one on static. You stop Jean in his stead, as Armin and Connie smack on the computer, trying to fix the ear pieces.
“Wait, wait, Jean. Where is that?”
“Girls locker room. The volleyball team was there last.”
You lean over to Connie, opening his computer as you log into your accounts. Jean’s leaning over your chair, both of you hovering as you log into your administrative office account.
“What gives, Y/N?”
“Jean. The girl, female pervert whatever. She must have transformed in there and broke the camera. Whichever girl didn’t log in for practice today, since there’s no way that girl isn’t injured from the fight she had with Eren last night, has to be the girl we’re looking for. Attendance in class but not in practice.”
Armin, Jean, and Connie lean over your neck as you log into the account, loading the nursing record for today. And then you find it.
Annie Leonhart has requested a medical leave of absence for the week due to an extenuating injury. She may return to regular practice next week.
Signed Pieck Finger, N.P.
Armin all but falls out of his chair, quickly getting up to fix the computers.
“Shit shit shit shit shit.”
You grab his shoulder, basically strangling him as you ask. Because why the fuck is he so worried that Annie is the fucking female pervert?
“What’s wrong, Armin? Why are you so panicked?”
“Annie. She suspects that Eren is Spiderman. And she…she wants to know who he is for sure, she’s told me that before. And if she puts him into a corner, she’s going to expose him to the police.”
You feel your throat run dry as the tears start working their way up to your eyes, burning hot. No. Because they’re going to arrest Eren. Maybe even kill him and-
Connie drops his laptop straight onto the floor, his eyes weary as he looks up at the ceiling.
“What now, Connie?”
“Y/N. It-it’s Friday. Meaning, they’re resetting the plumbing for the weekend and-”
Armin speaks up next, racking his hands through his hair.
“Oh my god. The sink waters flooding in the tunnels. He’s done for.”
You grab Armin by the collar, the anger seething in your chest.
“Why is he done for? What’s wrong with the water, Armin?”
“The webs. We haven’t perfected them yet and they dissolve in water. And it’s not a big deal because it’s not raining yet but-”
Now you get it.
“He’s down there with no defenses. And Annie’s going to get him any second. And tell everyone who he is.”
Jean grabs you by the shoulders, shaking your head as he fixes your hair against your ears.
“Think. Think, Y/N. You must know something about how to turn it off - you sit through all those administrative board meetings and talk to every fucking faculty member at this school because you’re a goody two shoes. You must know something.”
And then you remember. The only way to turn off the water is to go down there, close off the pipes manually.
You leave the three of them in the computer leg and sprint on your bad leg, down to where you know Eren’s waiting for you.
-
Connie, Armin, and Jean find you an hour later. You’re in the tunnels, where they set their trap, with a huge gash on the side of your head and a very bruised and battered Eren in your hands. You’re crying hard, your hands soft on Eren’s hands trying to will him to wake up.
Connie and Jean loop their arms around Eren’s, prying him out of your arms to lift him out of the tunnels. Armin helps you up, supporting your bad leg.
“What happened, Y/N?”
“I got down here, Tried turning off all the pipes manually. Eren was still trying his best, climbing around when I got most of the pipes off. She delt a few good blows but I mentioned that I knew she’s Annie and she kind of….ran off. She wasn’t really trying to…expose him or anything but I feel like she was trying to get the tech.”
“You okay? I know she scares you and…”
“Yeah. I just-we have to take Eren to Pieck. We can’t fix him on our own-”
“No. No he wouldn’t want us to.”
“He can’t want anything if he’s dead.”
“He’s not dead.”
“You-you don’t know that. He’s not invincible just because he’s Spiderman, he-he’s just Eren. And he can get hurt and I don’t want him to die and-”
Armin wordlesly agrees to take Eren to Pieck, the five of you piling into Jean’s car. Eren’s next to you, still not awake with his head slackly leaned against your shoulders.
When you reach the apartment, Connie, Jean, and Armin task themselves with bringing Eren in as you explain to Hange and Pieck. You knock on the door, teary eyed to Hange and Pieck responding, worry in their eyes at the blood leaking down the side of your face.
Pieck reaches forward, lifting your face in her hands which you swat off.
“P-Pieck. H-Hange. It’s Eren and he…he’s not okay. Please just help him without asking anything, I don’t want him to die on us.”
Connie and Jean drag Eren in, lifting him onto the couch as Hange racks back sobs. You go to Hange’s side, squishing them in an embrace as Pieck gets to work, cursing under her breath as she goes on.
“Wake up, SpiderFuck. Of course, this dumbass bothering me for the past three months is our kid. I’m going to kill you, you son of a bitch when you wake up, you know that? Stupid SpiderMotherfucker, I hate you-”
Pieck works around him, taking Hange from your arms as she leaves the two of you in the living room when she’s done. Connie, Jean, and Armin leave you with him - already working on figuring out where Annie went upstairs.
You take Eren’s hand in yours, squeezing tight as you whisper to him.
“Wake up. Wake up, Eren.”
No response.
“Come on. You can’t be serious. You-you’re Spiderman and you don’t get hurt and-”
No response.
“I….I can’t be brave without you, please be okay.”
No fucking response. You lay your forehead flat against the table as the sobs rack through you, Eren’s uneven breaths continuing on the table.
“Please, Eren. Come back to me.”
You feel a hand at the top of your hair, pressing down to the length of your neck. You look up to find Eren, weakly smiling at you as he winces. You sit up immediately, tears still streaming down to your neck, as you cup his face in your hands.
“Eren.”
“Quit crying, sweetheart. I’m Spiderman.”
You laugh through your sobs as you press yourself against his chest, hugging him as softly as you can. You can feel his hands on your back, jaggedly circlcing into the small of your back.
“Where are we?”
“Your house. Pieck fixed you up and-”
He sits up, groaning as he glares at you.
“Don’t tell me you told them that I was-”
“I had to, Eren. I thought you were dead and-”
“I wasn’t dead. I’m Spiderman!”
“Spiderman can die, Eren. And you didn’t fucking wake up.”
“I heal supernaturally fast. You should have given me a minute to come to.”
“The fact that you needed Pieck’s medical attention to come to right now, four hours after the fact, tells me that you weren’t fucking okay, Eren! And they don’t care and-”
“You think my aunt, Hange, who watched my parents fucking die in front of me doesn’t care that I risk my fucking life on the line everyday? They fucking care!”
“It’s not a big deal, they just want you to be okay and-”
“And what the fuck were you doing down in the tunnel? Don’t pretend like I don’t see that fucking gash on your pretty face and I’m just ignoring it right now.”
You can feel the anger seething in your chest and you really, really want to smack Eren right about now.
“We figured it out. Annie Leonhart, the girl from the soccer team, she’s the pervert titan. And she’s-she’s trying to expose you as Spiderman. Or maybe not, I don’t know. And the water tunnels were on and I know your webs dissolve in water and I just-”
“You just what? Thought you’d run down them and turn them off?”
“Yeah, asshole. For you.”
“You know the best part of Spider Gang. You’re the team in the chair. Do you understand what that means? You keep your ass in the chair and away from shit like this!”
“I can’t just sit by and do that.”
“Why the fuck not?”
“Because I’m not Connie or Armin or Jean. I’m not just your friend who can sit by and let you get hurt. You’re-you’re not just”
“What am I then, huh?”
“You’re the guy I love. I can’t just fucking watch you bleed out from a tunnel and pretend it’s okay, Eren.”
You’re both panting, chests heaving from screaming so loudly. Eren closes the space between you, pressing his lips to yours as you melt under his touch. You can taste metal - surely from the cut on his lip - but you can also taste mint, definitely from the stupid pocket he made for Altoids in his suit. He’s smiling against your lips, leaning his weight on you as you rest your forehead against his.
“Guy you love, huh?”
“Shut up. When did you become so cocky, Eren?”
You wrap your arms around his neck, pushing your burning cheeks into his shoulder as he laughs against your ears. The next questions genuine, his voice wavering when he asks.
“Do you only love me because I’m Spiderman, Y/N?”
“No. I love Spiderman because he gives Eren the confidence to talk to me. You…you’ve always been so shy and stand-offish with me since we were kids, I…kind of thought you hated me. But Jean told me, you’re just really awkward.”
“Remind me to kick Jean’s ass.”
“And…I always liked you. You know, we really didn’t need pictures of each of the clubs. I already took those during club registration at the beginning of the year. I just wanted an excuse to be around you and I think that’s technically an abuse of power but-”
He leans forward, pressing his lips to yours once again, leaning so hard on you that you both get knocked on the couch. You’re both laughing, smiling so hard that Hange and Pieck and the rest of Spider Gang comes down to find you two giggling on the couch.
Now that Eren’s sentient, Hange yells at him for three things. One. Being Spiderman. Two. Being a dumbass and getting hurt. Three. Attempting to have sex with this girl on the couch.
And then they ask if Eren should be taken to a vet, since he’s technically half spider.
The five of you corner Annie later that week. And she confesses it all - that she didn’t know when this power happened, or what came over her, or even what’s going on. And that she doesn’t want to expose Spiderman, she wanted the technology.
She wants to know what’s wrong with her. And she figured that if she knew who Spiderman was, if she could lure him out by stealing his tech, she can find the person who makes his tech and have them help her.
Eren extends his hand first. Promising that Spider Gang (a name that she snorts at) promises to help her figure it out and control it if she promises to not wreck havoc or drop mailboxes on your leg again. And she explains that she has no control when it comes over her, that she really doesn’t want to hurt people.
When Armin figures it out and when Annie can control it, she’s instated as the sixth member of SpiderGang. Eighth if you count Pieck and Hange.
And she doesn’t scare you. It’s nice to have another girl on the team. Especially one who hates “Spider Gang” as much as you. And it’s sweet to watch Armin and Annie bustle around each other, working on perfecting the tech.
And to watch Jean and Connie tease them. And to have Eren swing you around in New York and sneak into your bed every night and save lives all around the city.
-
Okay. Let’s do this one last time.
My name is Eren Jeager. I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last six months, I’m the one and only Spiderman, equipped with a fully functional Spider Team. Officially dubbed, begrudingly, the Spider Gang.
Connie and Jean, codenames C-Man and Horseface (since using real names got me exposed the last time) are my surveillance team. Surveying out my enemies, making sure the cops don’t get to me - they’re important reconnaissance for each mission.
Armin and Annie, codenames Ocean Eyes and Pervert Lady (don’t ask). They’re my technical geniuses. Always redefining my tech, fixing up my webs to make them stronger, faster. There’s no Spiderman without Spidertech.
And Y/N, codename Sweetheart. My girl in the chair. And the one in my heart too. Not only does she figure out motives/identities/locations for every villain and plan out every attack before I do it, but she’s the main reason Spiderman even exists.
Why I fight so hard.
I have to keep Brooklyn safe for my girl.

I feel like the Teen Titans, with how most of them never got to be normal kids or do normal things, totally started a YJ or Titans yearbook/scrapbook that they kept in the tower.
Silly things like receipts for laser tag and goofy Polaroids. And little typical yearbook things, like Beast Boy's quote for the year and Starfire and Dick winning Best Hair. A tally of unapproved missions they did anyways, or the number of days they'd gone without Raven cursing one of them.

Part Three of "May" [Release Date: 5/18/2023]
YEARBOOK - SLEEPING AT LAST WRITING CHALLENGE MASTERLIST
-----------------------
Working with Dick and Bruce was both one of the best and the most infuriating things that I had ever done.
One of the most infuriating because Dick and Bruce were both just as stubborn as each other. Plans would be argued about. Bruce was used to Dick being a kid going along with whatever he said. But Dick could now argue with him.
I couldn't count the number of times that I had to sit there, ready to go, while the pair argued about what the right thing to do was.
That arrangement of ours was one of the best things to ever happen to me because- despite his stubbornness- Dick was easily my best friend.
Something had clicked between us. I had never experienced anything like it before.
Maybe it had always been something more than a friendship. Maybe it had never been as simple as I wanted it to be.
Being able to accept that may have made me less hesitant to admit that I had fallen for him.
I guess that it didn't truly matter when I finally accepted that I had feelings for him. I was half of the equation. Dick was the other half, and that half was much harder to solve.
I never thought that I'd be able to admit to him how I felt.
I never truly planned on it either.
We were on a roof doing surveillance. An all-too-familiar setting for us to find ourselves in. It was a slow night. Boring. Our target had shown up, but nothing happened. He merely sat around. He didn't speak, look at his phone... nothing.
I thought Bruce was going to make us sit out there all night.
"I think it's time that we call it a night," he finally relented. "Either he has nothing planned or he does but he knows that we're watching. Pack it in."
"Got it," I replied before standing up and stepping away from the edge. I saw Dick hesitating to get up. "Need help up, Little Bird? Are your knees already that bad?"
He scoffed and looked at me over his shoulder. "Shut up."
I grinned and looked away for a moment. Dick stood up and walked over to me.
"You heading straight home," he asked. "It's pretty late. You could come by the manor... get some dinner."
I shook my head. "Um, probably not tonight."
In all honesty, I had spent all night in close proximity to him and I was starting to go mad. I thought that I had better control over my emotions than that, but sitting with him so close made me feel like I was suffocating. It was embarrassing.
"Alright," he replied. "Get home safe. Text me."
"I will," I promised.
I started walking away before he did. I stopped at the edge of the roof. I stopped and turned around.
"You okay," he asked.
I nodded. "Um, yeah... I just..."
I trailed off for a moment.
I took a deep breath before walking back over to him. I don't know what was going through my mind at the time. It felt like my body was going far faster than my mind.
I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. It was short and quick. Awkward. It felt like my first kiss in high school. I pulled back as quickly as I had leaned in.
"I'm sorry," I muttered.
Dick paused for a moment before speaking, "It's alright."
I just nodded.
"I... um... I'll... bye-"
"Dick, wait," I said as he turned around and ran off.
I closed my eyes, feeling the embarrassment crawl through my veins. I was sick to my stomach. My head was replaying the moment over and over again, looking for the moment whenI could have stopped all of this from ever happening.
I went home with that sinking feeling in my stomach. Lonely and angry and sad and just... terrible.
I tried to call Dick when I got home.
He didn't answer.
I texted him an apology and a promise to just forget about the moment completely.
I didn't get a response until the next morning. And it wasn't a text or a call. No. It was Dick showing up at my door.
"Hi," he said as I opened the door.
"Hi," I muttered.
He had my address because Bruce insisted on having it. It was meant to be a safety thing. They both knew my address, my number, and my true identity.
"May I...?" he nodded behind me.
I stepped to the side, motioning for him to step inside. I crossed my arms over my chest.
"I... I owe you an explanation for what happened last night."
"Dick, we don't have to talk about it-"
"Yes, we do," he stopped me. I bit at the inside of my lip, realizing that I couldn't get away from all of this.
"Fine. Explain."
"Bruce adopted me after my parents died," he explained after a moment. "And then, it just felt like I kept losing people. They'd leave or get hurt or... die. I just... I thought that if we were together, you would be more likely to end up hurt. I thought that I was protecting you."
We sat with the confession for a minute.
We had never discussed our pasts. It was a topic that didn't come up in our lives and neither one of us asked the other out of respect. Now that it was out there, it was impossible to avoid. I felt guilty for ever being angry with him. I knew that it was wrong of him to lie to me, but when it was something like this... I felt like I had no right to demand that from him.
"Dick...," I stepped forward. "Do you want to be with me?"
"I do, but-"
"Without thinking of the risks," I stopped him. "In a perfect world where we did not meet the way that we did. No Robin, no Batman... none of it. Without thinking of any of it. Do you want to be with me?"
"Yes."
"That should be all that matters," I said. "Because I can protect myself, Dick. And whether or not we're together, I'm going to be in danger. I just need you to trust that I'm not going to walk away because of it."
He grinned at me.
I was about to continue my rant to him, but he stopped me, leaning forward to kiss me. It was just as rushed as our first kiss. However, this kiss didn't immediately stop. Instead, we both seemed to fall into a much softer rhythm.
It was perfect. Every moment of it.
I leaned back first. My eyes remained shut as our foreheads touched.
When I finally opened them, I found Dick already looking at me. I smiled at him. He pecked my lips again. I chuckled.
"I'm guessing that I don't need to apologize this time," I muttered.
"No, I don't think so," Dick replied. "If anything, I should be apologizing to you after running away earlier."
I hummed. "Well, I know how you could make that up to me."
"Is that right," he asked.
I nodded, my smile only growing.
"Well, I would be happy to hear your idea..."
"Would you really?"
"I really would."
"Good," I leaned in and kissed him again.
And for just a little while, it truly felt like the risks never existed in the first place.

In 1997, grunge is king, Titanic is a blockbuster (and Blockbuster still exists), and Thursday nights are for Friends. In Bellport, Connecticut, four best friends and high school seniors are ready to light the world on fire. Melissa Levin, Priya Chowdury, Tara Taylor, and Suki Hammer are going places. Their yearbook superlatives confirm it: Most Likely to Win the White House, Cure Cancer, Open a Michelin-Starred Restaurant, and Join the Forbes 400.
Fast forward twenty-five years and nothing has gone according to plan as the women regroup at their dreaded high school reunion. When a forgotten classmate emerges at the reunion with a surprising announcement, the friends dig out the yearbook and rethink their younger selves. Is it too late to make their dreams come true? Fueled by nostalgia and one too many drinks, they form a pact to push through their middle-aged angst to bring their teenage aspirations to fruition, dubbing themselves the "Most Likely Girls."
Through the ensuing highs and lows, they are reminded of the enduring bonds of friendship, the ways our childhood dreams both sustain and surprise us -- and why it's deeply uncool to peak in high school.

Camera one
Songfic (A map script but I can't draw)
(Falling in Reverse Au/ Reverse Batfam)
The sandy-haired son of Hollywood
Lost his faith in all that's good
A young Tim walks through an empty Drake manor, stopping in front of the kitchen. A box with a bow sits on the table.
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
Little Tim climbs up onto a roof with a camera hanging loosely around his neck
Hung his clothes on the shower rod
But he never got undressed
Tim walks into the Batcave wearing the robin suit
And no, he never made a mess
Damian pushes past him storming out of the cave
It's funny how life turns out
"Whatever little wing" Damian smiles at his little brother for the first time
The odds of faith in the face of doubt
Tim walks into an abandoned warehouse
Camera One closes in
Joker slams a crowbar against Tim's chest repeatedly
The soundtrack starts
Tim tries to push himself off the ground but slips and falls back
The scene begins
Tim looks across the room to see a bomb ticking away
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
The bomb keeps ticking down as Tim leans against the wall
Take a bow
Take a bow
Damian stands in front of a headstone
The trophy wife from Palisades
Whose yearbook beauty never fades
Rose stands on a rooftop watching as the waves peacefully move back and forth
Sits and watches the sea fold in
And wonders what might have been
A young Rose fights alongside the Titans
If she could ever have the chance
Slade stands in front of her reaching out his hand
Would she do it all again?
Rose reaches forward shaking his hand
It's funny how life turns out
Rose stands on a roof pulling the Cowl of her suit over her head
The odds of faith in the face of doubt
An injured Ravager stands in a room of assassins
Camera One closes in
A gun goes off as the assassins fall to the ground one by one
The soundtrack starts
Red Hood lands in front of Rose
The scene begins
Rose shakes his hand
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
Tim opens a window letting Rose climb into his apartment
Take a bow
Take a bow
Rose leans against him as they both fall asleep on the couch
On the corner
By his streets
He sits in his lawnchair
In the heat
Damian sits at the bat computer working on a case
Sightseers see
What they want
Jason walks by talking to Bruce. Damian closes his eyes as a memory of Tim plays through his mind
They're selling star-maps
To the sun
A younger Tim is walking beside Damian bragging about his last case
The sunny-haired son of Hollywood
Lost his faith in all that's good
Tim lets out a sigh running his fingers through the patch of white in his hair
Closed the curtain, unplugged the clock
He pulls on his coat and helmet
Hung his clothes on the shower rod
But he didn't get undressed
He turns off the light shutting the door behind him
And no, he didn't seem depressed
Red hood stands on a roof with Nightwing
"It's funny how life turns out"
Tim says turning to his older brother
"The odds of faith in the face of doubt"
He smiles under the helmet
Camera One closes in
A young Tim opens the box pulling out a camera
The soundtrack starts
He closes his eyes as the bomb reaches one
The scene begins
He emerges out of the Lazarus pit with rage in his eyes
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
You're playing you now
Red Hood jumps into the water pulling out an unconscious Nightwing
Take a bow
Take a bow
Take a bow
Take a bow
A Tiny Tim stands on the rooftop taking a picture of Robin

To go with the penny and mischa headcanons could you do some for noel? I love your other ones smmm
Absolutely I can noel is literally my number one fav and he is rotating around my brain at all times like a microwave
- as a kid he ABSOLUTELY wore his mother's high heels/fancy dresses and had a little tea party on a regular basis with all his stuffed animals bc DUH. He would force his mom to participate but she loved it
- she would paint his nails as often as he asked her to and in whatever color he picked. She'd have a giant collection of colors/glitter/etc and some of his earliest/favorite memories would be of him sitting on her bed getting his nails done and watching reality tv or a devastating french film he's DEFINITELY too young to be seeing
- he is also a giant theater kid and is only in the choir because he was banned from being in the school's plays after the waiting for godot incident
- everyone loves "nischa where Mischa is oblivious to Noel's flirting" but in my heart and soul it's the other way around
- bro is clueless fr Mischa could literally walk up to him and say "I am in love with you noel gruber and I want to marry you" and he'd be like ha imagine. Obviously you'd never mean that though
- was definitely given makeup from his mother for a birthday or something and it's all subtle enough that he can wear it places without people REALLY noticing but he knows it's there (it's like, clear mascara and tinted chapstick but he definitely cried when he opened it)
- side note he definitely has one of the nicest moms out of everyone in the choir??? People hc that she's an alcoholic for some reason and it's like. Nah she's his number one biggest fan fr !!!! We would know if she was 💀
- she doesn't KNOW about Monique per se but she's definitely seen the outfit in his laundry and just never brought it up
- because I know for a fact he's had it in his closet for YEARS and wore it for funsies when he knew nobody was home. Definitely has the entire choreography of cell block tango PERFECTED
- even before he worked at taco bell he high key hated it and that was just amplified with all the shit he had to deal with at that job
- everyone else in the choir literally loves it and it annoys him to no end
- half of his texts with ocean are "hello!! How is my favorite member of the choir today 😄😄" "what do you want ocean" "Baja blast please" "okay."
- he loves ocean like a sibling your honor. They're literally mlm wlw hostility but in a best friends way
- ESPECIALLY AS KIDS when they were kids they were just best friends it was him ocean and constance. But then she beat him at duck duck goose and their relationship was never the same (this is canon to me)
- my favorite thing is making them all best friends with Constance even before the accident because of course they were
- she was the nicest girl in town!! I know her yearbook was signed with a bunch of meaningless "I never met you but you seemed nice" crap
- but my personal theory is that noel, ocean and constance were a lil trio in elementary school and then ocean and noel became mortal enemies (/hj) so they grew apart
- and that's why they're allowed to bully each other relentlessly bc they're basically siblings at this point
- titanic was one of his fav movies before he discovered french new wave cinema but he didn't cry much when he watched it (and if he did, it's because he was wishing a stranger he met on a cruise in the 20s would die for him the way jack did for rose)
[I don't know why I have titanic headcanons for basically every member of the choir I don't even like it THAT much???]
- also he insists there was no room for Jack on the door (he's right)
- he has a black cat named Lola. There isn't much to this hc but I just think it's objectively true.
- On the rare occasion the choir would hang out before the accident and the rarer occasion it was at Noel's house, Ricky would ignore everyone completely and make a beeline to the cat
- the first time Ricky came over he said "you have a cat, don't you?" And noel just kinda looked at him like ???? Before eventually saying "yes... But how did you know that?"
- he loves rain and thunderstorms from the comfort of his home but will literally not be caught DEAD stepping foot outside in it without an umbrella + rain boots + jacket because he doesn't want his clothes to get wet. And he's real for this
- speaking of noel and being dead (I am a god of segues), before he left for school the day of the accident he said these exact words to his mom: "farewell mother. I'm off to die in a tragic accident, don't wait up for me, for I will not return to you in this lifetime"
- this would have been a common way for him to say goodbye to her, and she would always roll her eyes and say "oh how will I go on without you! Surely the grief would be too much for me to bear! I shall stay up at night, clutching an article of your clothing as a single limpid tear rolls down my cheek" And then laugh and tell him to be safe
- and then he actually dies in a tragic accident
- oops #rip
- I don't know why, but imagining Noel's mother after the accident always made me so much sadder than the rest of the choir 😭 I just imagine that they were super duper close for basically his whole life
- also, despite yearning for this whole tragic life I feel like he's super squeamish?? He cannot stand the sight of blood or vomit
- maybe in his fantasy part of that is he can actually handle the things that end up happening in the movies he likes
- also I refuse to believe that their favorite rides aren't somewhat related to something that happened the day of the fair itself
- what I'm saying is basically he rode the ferris wheel with Mischa and almost lost his god damn mind
- it would have been so romantic if he knew his crush was probably mutual
- and finally. Nischa holding onto each other for dear life when things started going wrong and having to be pulled apart post mortem
Thank you for your time this is literally so long and I could come up with so many more

The first DVD release of Cinematic Titanic occured at midnight on December 21, 2007 at midnight. Cinematic Titanic was created by Mystery Science Theater 3000 creator Joel Hodgson. The project allowed him to continue to riff movies with MST3K alumni Trace Beaulieu, Frank Coniff, Mary Jo Pehl, and J Elvis Weinstein (all of whom protrayed the Mads on MST3K). Besides the produced shows, they also started doing a live touring show where they riffed movies live. The first release was of the Oozing Skull (aka The Brain of Blood). ("The Oozing Skull" Cinematic Titanic Event)

The Club of Unauthorized Heroes - Year 2
Fandom: Teen Titans
Pairings: BBxRae, BBxTer, RobxStar, CyxBee
Rating: T
Summary: The ambiguously-named Project Club of Murakami High has established themselves as not-so-secret superheroes for hire. But while the team navigates the pressure of being out in the open and worries that their stint of big missions was just a fluke, a new threat set out to dismantle everything they’ve worked for brews right underneath their noses. [High School AU]
───
Chapter 8: December. Alien territory p.1
Preview:
“When does this end?” asked Dick.
“A few clubs go forward and invite everyone to the pep rally,” Vic reminded them. He technically had an extra season’s experience under his belt. “Then the cheerleaders do a routine, and it’s over.”
Just like he said, subsequently Angel Edenfield invited everyone on behalf of the Christian club, and Jade Nguyen-Crock spoke for the yearbook committee, which left Kitty to say the cheerleaders wanted everyone to be there. Then the three moved to their cheerleading positions for the final routine.
Dick said, “Ah yes, the three branches of high school government. Cheerleading team, yearbook committee, and Christian club. Enter the buffoon—sorry, I mean the mascot.”

Read-Alike Friday: The Celebrants by Steven Rowley
Dele Weds Destiny by Tomi Obaro
Funmi, Enitan, and Zainab first meet at university in Nigeria and become friends for life despite their differences. Funmi is beautiful, brash, and determined; Enitan is homely and eager, seeking escape from her single mother's smothering and needy love; Zainab is elegant and reserved, raised by her father's first two wives after her mother's death in childbirth. Their friendship is complicated but enduring, and over the course of the novel, the reader learns about their loves and losses. How Funmi stole Zainab's boyfriend and became pregnant, only to have an abortion and lose the boyfriend to police violence. How Enitan was seduced by an American Peace Corps volunteer, the only one who ever really saw her, but is culturally so different from him--a Connecticut WASP--that raising their daughter together put them at odds. How Zainab fell in love with her teacher, a friend of her father's, and ruptured her relationship with her father to have him.
Now, some thirty years later, the three women are reunited for the first time, in Lagos. The occasion: Funmi's daughter, Destiny, is getting married. Enitan brings her American daughter, Remi. Zainab travels by bus, nervously leaving her ailing husband in the care of their son. Funmi, hosting the weekend with her wealthy husband, wants everything to go perfectly. But as the big day approaches, it becomes clear that something is not right. As the novel builds powerfully, the complexities of the mothers' friendship--and the private wisdom each has earned--come to bear on a riveting, heartrending moment of decision.
The Most Likely Club by Elyssa Friedland
In 1997, grunge is king, Titanic is a blockbuster (and Blockbuster still exists), and Thursday nights are for Friends. In Bellport, Connecticut, four best friends and high school seniors are ready to light the world on fire. Melissa Levin, Priya Chowdury, Tara Taylor, and Suki Hammer are going places. Their yearbook superlatives confirm it: Most Likely to Win the White House, Cure Cancer, Open a Michelin-Starred Restaurant, and Join the Forbes 400.
Fast forward twenty-five years and nothing has gone according to plan as the women regroup at their dreaded high school reunion. When a forgotten classmate emerges at the reunion with a surprising announcement, the friends dig out the yearbook and rethink their younger selves. Is it too late to make their dreams come true? Fueled by nostalgia and one too many drinks, they form a pact to push through their middle-aged angst to bring their teenage aspirations to fruition, dubbing themselves the "Most Likely Girls."
Through the ensuing highs and lows, they are reminded of the enduring bonds of friendship, the ways our childhood dreams both sustain and surprise us -- and why it's deeply uncool to peak in high school.
You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi
Feyi Adekola wants to learn how to be alive again.
It’s been five years since the accident that killed the love of her life and she’s almost a new person now—an artist with her own studio, and sharing a brownstone apartment with her ride-or-die best friend, Joy, who insists it’s time for Feyi to ease back into the dating scene. Feyi isn’t ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career.
She’s even started dating the perfect guy, but their new relationship might be sabotaged before it has a chance by the dangerous thrill Feyi feels every time she locks eyes with the one person in the house who is most definitely off-limits. This new life she asked for just got a lot more complicated, and Feyi must begin her search for real answers. Who is she ready to become? Can she release her past and honor her grief while still embracing her future? And, of course, there’s the biggest question of all—how far is she willing to go for a second chance at love?
Late in the Day by Tessa Hadley
Alexandr and Christine and Zachary and Lydia have been friends since they first met in their twenties. Thirty years later, Alex and Christine are spending a leisurely summer’s evening at home when they receive a call from a distraught Lydia: she is at the hospital. Zach is dead.
In the wake of this profound loss, the three friends find themselves unmoored; all agree that Zach, with his generous, grounded spirit, was the irreplaceable one they couldn’t afford to lose. Inconsolable, Lydia moves in with Alex and Christine. But instead of loss bringing them closer, the three of them find over the following months that it warps their relationships, as old entanglements and grievances rise from the past, and love and sorrow give way to anger and bitterness.

Part Two of "May" [Release Date: 5/16/2023]
Part Three of "May" [Release Date: 5/18/2023]
YEARBOOK - SLEEPING AT LAST WRITING CHALLENGE MASTERLIST
----------------------
Being Robin was somewhat second nature for Dick.
He wasn't sure when running around in a suit and mask began to feel normal. All he knew was that it did. Running and fighting and training and saving people all became more normal that the life that he had outside of the suit.
But with normal came predictable.
It wasn't that he didn't still get that rush of adrenaline. It was just that every event felt like it was following the same script. It was a rehearsed dance more than anything else.
He couldn't picture an interruption to that predictability.
Until one night.
He was in a building across the street from a very sketchy bar. It was after hours, last call had been done. The only people left were two men sitting across from each other, a group of guards covering the entrances, and the bartender that seemed terrified about the whole ordeal.
Dick was watching the scene through a camera placed in the room. Bruce had gotten wind of a pretty bad deal and sent Dick to go figure out what was going on.
Dick was growing admittedly bored of the conversation. It was all subtle. Code words shared over two drinks. Nothing certain. No sure answers.
His boredom came to a sudden halt when he saw a guard suddenly collapse.
"What the hell-"
Another guard fell. And a third. And on and on it went.
With no other sign of anything, the guards had all fallen. Dick almost ran inside, but Bruce told him to wait. They didn't have enough information to know that moving in wouldn't get Dick killed.
One of the men suddenly pulled a gun out from his jacket, aiming at something. His arm fell as he suddenly fell unconscious. He leaned forward, head landing on the top of the table.
Dick watched as someone in a mask and a makeshift suit walked into frame. They grabbed the front of the remaining man's shirt. There was some yelling about a weapons deal. A detail that Dick and Bruce didn't even know about yet.
"Bruce-"
"Stay put."
Dick grumbled to himself but listened. He watched the man with his head on the table start twitching just a bit once his head was touched. As if trying to wake up and fight something.
The vigilante threatened to do the same to the only man still awake.
Dick furrowed his eyebrows. What was it? Poison?
"I will leave you trapped in a nightmare for the rest of your life," they explained.
"What?" Dick replied out loud.
"You won't wake up, and you won't die. You will spend decades in your own personal hell," they threatened further. "Unless you tell me what I need to know."
The man rambled out details so fast that Dick almost missed them.
"Thank you," the vigilante said before knocking out the man. Not in the same way they had knocked out the other men. No, this time they just punched him. "Only a few hours instead of the days these men will spend unconscious. I'd call that fair."
He knew that Bruce was also watching the feed from the Batcave.
"Bruce, did you-"
"See that? Yeah, I did," Bruce cut him off.
"Any idea who that was?"
"Not at all," he replied.
"I could follow them. They haven't left yet."
"No, it's too dangerous," Bruce muttered. "Come back to the manor. We'll look over that video feed, see if we can figure out what exactly they did."
"Got it, see you soon."
Dick was about to pack up and leave when he saw the other vigilante make it to the roof of the bar. Dick wasn't sure if they had seen him or not. If they did, they gave him no sign of such.
That was (Y/n)'s plan.
If the guy across the street knew that they had seen him, then there would be even more problems than they were already dealing with.
Robin and this new vigilante kept finding themselves in the same place.
Investigations to fights, when one was there, so was the other. It was more shocking that when the news ran the story of a new vigilante, they didn't accuse (Y/n) of working with Batman and his little sidekick.
(Y/n) stopped pretending that they didn't see Dick. There were too many occasions of them being near each other for that trick to work forever.
There would be moments where they'd stand on opposite roofs, staring at each other. (Y/n) would smirk at the other vigilante before taking off again.
It didn't seem like Dick would ever be fast enough to catch them.
Until one night.
There had been an investigation.
(Y/n) dropped on a roof that they were convinced was empty. However, as their feet landed, another set seemed to land in the same spot.
They looked over to see Dick standing behind them. His eyes were just as wide as theirs. He didn't realize that anyone was there.
(Y/n) went to run off but didn't get far before their wrist was grabbed.
"Wait," Dick called. "Please."
(Y/n) went shove him off, only to have their other wrist grabbed.
"I'm not going to hurt you, just wait!"
They stopped for a moment, glaring at him with their jaw clenched.
"I just want to talk, please," he said.
"Two minutes," they warned.
"What's your name?"
"Why would I tell you that?"
"I... I meant your... vigilante title, not your real name."
"I... I don't have one."
"What," he asked.
"I was a little more focused on the work," they explained. "Also, the news wouldn't care about what name I picked. They're gonna pick a name for me without my input."
"Have they picked one?"
"Still on 'mysterious new figure' duty," they muttered. "What about you?"
"Robin."
"Like the little bird?"
"I didn't pick it."
"Well, Little Bird, can you please let go of my wrists now?"
"I have an offer for you."
(Y/n) rolled their eyes. "What?"
"Work with me and Batman," he suggested. (Y/n) scoffed, so he tried to explain before they could run away from him. "Imagine how much you could do with more resources and extra help."
"Last time I checked, I'm usually ahead of you and Batman."
"Then just consider us extra hands and eyes. Please."
(Y/n) scanned their eyes along Dick's face. "One try. I will give it one try. Screw that up, I will happily kick both of your asses."
"Deal."
"Now let go of me."
Dick nodded and let go of their wrists, now holding up his hands.
He grinned as (Y/n) ran off again.
Suddenly, a duo became a trio and a solo act was part of a group.
Dick and (Y/n) continued working together. It would be a lie to say that it wasn't nice to have someone with them to sit through the long patrol hours. Talking to another person instead of yourself can be riveting.
It was a few weeks into this arrangement of theirs that Dick decided to ask more personal questions. Not that it was difficult to get more personal; the pair only knew each other through their vigilante personas.
"What's your name," he asked one night after a night of patrol. He knew that it wasn't worth asking when the excuse of work could easily be used. "Your real name, I mean."
"Why should I tell you first," they countered, tilting their head at him.
He felt a grin tug at his lips. "My name's Dick."
(Y/n) paused for a second. "I can see why you were okay with Robin."
He chuckled. "Your turn."
"(Y/n)."
Dick grinned to him. He couldn't explain it, but the name just... fit. Something about it sat right in his mind. Suddenly he was back outside that bar, watching with a shocked face as this one person took down an entire gang of people. He didn't realize just how much they had invaded his mind.
"No vigilante name yet," Dick asked.
"Nope," they shook their head. "I've upgraded to dark, mysterious new sidekick in the news."
"Congratulations."
"Truly a cause for celebration."
A little more laughter happened between them.
"I'll see you later, Little Bird-"
"Can I ask you another question?"
"Why not?"
"Why'd you start?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you become a vigilante," he asked. "Were you just sitting with all of that stuff you use and waiting for a signal?"
"No."
"Then... what happened?"
(Y/n) stared at him for a moment. Even after such a short amount of time, they knew that he wouldn't let this go.
They took a deep breath.
"I was visited by... something," (Y/n) explained.
"By what?"
"I can't tell you that."
"Why?"
(Y/n) took a deep breath. "If I do, what I have will be taken from me. I'm sorry, little bird, but you're not worth that risk."
Dick nodded. "I understood."
"Good," they replied before starting to walk away from him. "I'll see you around, little bird."
"Why can't you just call me Robin," Dick asked.
"Not as fun," they shrugged. "Bye, little bird."
"Bye... Sandie."
"Work on that one!"
"Planning on it!"
He heard a loud laugh follow (Y/n) as they ran off.
He smiled to himself.
This was a new normal that he could find himself enjoying far more than that old, rehearsed dance that he had known.
