If I'd been really honest with the pairings, it'd be something like "references to Thor/Ororo, Tony/Natasha, and Felicia being Felicia."

Last Part: Spidey’s Got A Girlfriend!
Summary: So Peter’s dating someone. Someone secret. Well, what if she’s a shapeshifter or a stalker or an alien? Or all three? It’s a good thing Peter has friends like Jan and Ororo to find out who he’s dating, and if she’s a shapeshifting alien stalker.

( Jan pointed a finger in Tigra’s face. “Are you now or have you ever been Spidey’s girlfriend?” )

Word Count: 2,488

Author’s Notes: Betaed by lurkslikefox
Summary: Mary-Jane learns Peter’s a virgin. She decides to help him with that.

( Hey, I know you’re not an expert, but it works better if you’re not wearing clothes. )

So, it's done and betaed. My definitive critique of Brand New Day/fix-it fic/darkfic/straight-up shippiness. The one good story I could see being built from One More Day. Bon appetit.

Title: We’re Not Lovers (We Just Play Them In Comics)
Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: Peter/MJ, Joe Quesada, the Marvel Bullpen and Spider-Man supporting cast (yes, Virginia, there is one)
Word Count: 5,488
Summary: Editorial says the spider-marriage has to go. Peter and Mary-Jane don't take it very well.

( Mary-Jane was struggling to keep it together. Her own trailer would probably be full of sympathy cards and flowers. Not that they were together, but they had a bond from working together so long. They knew each others’ cues, always read through their scripts together and made suggestions (MJ had a wicked sense of humor to bring to bear on Spidey’s quips), and they were just… partners. In just about every sense of the word. )

Peter woke up dead.

His first thought was how exactly that worked. If you were dead, shouldn't you never wake up? Yet he had woken up, and he was dead.

His second thought was that there was a poker game going on, and Captain America was the big blind.

"Steve? Aren't you dead?"

"Uh-huh. We all are." Steve nodded to his poker buddies: Jack Monroe, Goliath, and Dumbledore. "You too."

"Eh? All I did was make a deal with the devil!"

"Yeah. To never marry Mary-Jane. And remember how many times she inspired you in the face of overwhelming odds?"

"Oh yeah." Peter pulled up a chair. "So I guess without her, someone killed me other than Morlun. Yeah, bad move on my part. So, how are we busting out of here?"

I got bored waiting for Joey Q to get run out of Marvel on a rail, so here’s the fic of (a Quesada-less) tomorrow… today!


Title: Curtains
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Peter/MJ, Tony Stark, Jessica Drew
Word Count: 2,336
Summary: The longest hours of Mary-Jane’s life are waiting for Peter to come home. Sometimes, coming home doesn’t make things any better.

( Peter had come in through the window, dressed in that suit that at times like this she could never figure out how she’d once thought it was sexy. The blue parts were soaked into darkness and the red seemed to escape and spread over the black stitching that covered it. He seemed like one massive wound. Taking the mask off didn’t help. )
