Peter Curing Norman Instead Of Killing Him, Even When The Goblin Just Stabbed Peter 2 In Front Of Him,

Peter curing Norman instead of killing him, even when the Goblin just stabbed Peter 2 in front of him, because he knew Norman was not mentally cognizant of his actions and would've never otherwise hurt May paints a whole different light on Tony going after Bucky and Peter's loyalty to him.

I think it'd be interesting to see that debate/see how that influences Peter's rose-tinted glasses, posthumously too.

Neither Norman nor Bucky had a choice in what they did, they only differ in that Norman tested on himself and Bucky was experimented on, so Bucky had even less autonomy than Norman (yet he was made to atone...wtf). Just...gah Marvel really missed an opportunity there. This isn't about who's right or who's wrong btw, just addressing how much May's death and Norman and the Green Goblin would inform Peter's perspective on Tony (given he has now gone through exactly the same thing as Tony did, only he witnessed it happen, and made a different call.)

Peter had the chance to continue and didn't, I think that's an incredibly powerful sign that he isn't Tony's protégé anymore.

Civil War AU where someone actually tells the 14 year old what's going on, like real details about the situation not just "them guys wrong, we right", and Peter defects like he does in the comics

Thinking about how Sam and Bucky went from

This:

To this:

oop the fics are getting less popular the more effort I'm putting in, that's... disheartening

yeah, I have no motivation to write at all, the last two fics really flopped and I tried so hard with those

how do fic writers do this, it's so crushing

Peter, Bucky and T'Challa always doing that crouching pose on the floor with one hand out in front and the other behind all elegant and poised, the one usually reserved for Sexy Badass Fighter Women™ that Natasha does and Yelena made fun of >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
