    Summary

    When his vision came into focus, a figure stood at the center of the field, a boy Sabito’s age. Sunlight illuminated the contours of his silhouette, yet the shadows cast left his features in a void of darkness.

    The boy was sticking out his thumb, despite being covered by the shade and blinding rays, Sabito could vaguely make out the glow of a matching red string wrapped around it. Radiating like scarlet hues of the golden hour, glimmering above dips and craters of the vast endless ocean.

    The sight was serene, ethereal, almost transcendent.

    Sabito opened his mouth to call out to the boy, yet the name stayed stuck on his tongue. Every time he lifted his feet, the steps he took became shorter, shakier and ever more desperate, the grip at his ankles pulling harder than ever before.

    As Sabito stepped forward, before he knew it, he was pulled beneath the earth, into an aggressive thrashing current.

    ——————— ༄.° ———————

    Or,

    Sabito awakened from a coma two years after his untimely ‘death’ during final selection. Blessed with the chance to live once more, would he fight for a better future for the people he loved most? Or would he let himself drown beneath the torrents of his past?

    Summary

    Peter Stark - or as most of the world knew him, Peter Parker - had had enough of Eugene "Flash" Thompson. It was enough that he was a bully to Peter, but this time he'd gone too far and picked a fight with his boyfriend, Harley.

    Peter decides to exact revenge under the innocent guise of a trip to Stark tower, his and Harley's home, to show Flash how it feels to be humiliated.

    It does not go as planned.

    Summary

    Blonde curls spilled down in front of his blue — blue, such a pretty blue — eyes. He was wearing jeans and a grey flannel with the arms rolled up to his elbows. His skin was golden, as if kissed by the sun. And he had freckles — freckles splattered over his nose and forehead and cheeks, which were turning red very quickly.

    Right. Because Peter was very nearly naked. Great first impression, Parker.

    (Or, Harley comes to New York for the summer, and Peter's head over heels for this southern boy.)

    Summary

    Peter couldn’t remember the last time he could just… breathe.

    Instead, he sits on the edge of an apartment building’s roof and rolls up the bottom of his mask, gulps in burning lungfuls of the unforgiving night air, and tugs his mask back on. Crime stops for no one, not even Spiderman.

    Or: May dies, and Peter devolves into homelessness and isolation. Past demons reappear, old wars are waged, and it feels like Peter has no one to turn to, not even Mr. Stark. Like always, Peter’s life gets better before it gets worse, and it gets worse before it gets better.

    Summary

    Peter felt the pain of his body trying to knit itself together even as it was torn apart. His spidey-sense screaming at him of the danger, danger that he couldn't escape. He begged anyway, begged Mr. Stark to save him. He knew it wasn't fair on the man... he did it anyway. Holding back tears, Peter apologized to his mentor as he fades away into dust.

    Green, a bright fluorescent Green fills his vision, he's drowning in it. Drowning. He can't breathe, the green fills his nostrils, his mouth, his lungs. Until he isn't, he's not drowning and he breathes in desperately, coughing out the green liquid as he greedily gasps for air.

    There's no one to tell Peter he's okay, not the warming presence of his Aunt, the scent of cinnamon to fill his nostrils, nor the motor oil he'd become so familiar with from his mentor. He was well and truly alone in this cold, dark world.

    Would he find a way home? Or would he have to create a new one in the unfamiliar world?
