    Summary

    Two weeks before the premiere of the biggest film of Dave's career, Bro kills himself.

    “Dead,” Dirk repeats over the phone. “Bro is D-E-A-D, dead. The apartment is a shithole. Even though the man of the hour is staying in Chez Morgue Drawer, he did a number on the place first. I wouldn’t be asking if I could handle it myself.”

    “Just call the Hoarders people. He’s your guy. I didn’t even know him.” Despite being iteration ten thousand, the lie feels less natural than it usually does. “I don’t need to be there. Neither of us do.”

    “Totally.” Dirk sounds like sidewalk. “Yeah, no, that was my first thought, but then I slept on it and applied a modicum of critical thinking. In that 'Puppet Fetish Porn Studio Unearthed in Childhood Home of Indie Darling' is gonna boost neither of our ratings.”

    Despite the tags, this is a comedy. Or is it?

    Summary

    Toad stabs himself where he stabbed Rabbit.

    (The first chapter can be read as a standalone if you're just here for the whump/blood/angst and don't want any comfort with that. Then in chapter two and onwards...)

    Rabbit discovers him unconscious and bleeding, throwing Rabbit off guard. He gets Toad to a hospital, where Toad gathers the courage to be more honest with Rabbit this time.

    (Another Note: I started posting this before the Christmas special came out, but I think I have a way to retroactively incorporate it.)

    Summary

    This was it. He couldn't take any more damage, his body was too broken down. This would be his heroic finale that he deserved. A prideful and honorable death for his previous sufferings at the hand of the Krang.

    Leo accepted this as a fact. This was the end, he was going to die here by the very thing he hates most. He shouldn't be as content as he is with this fate.

    He shut his eyes, a blatant display of resignation. Leo didn't care how brutal or horrific his death will be because he did it for his brothers, for his friends, his home. Nothing else mattered to him.

    A bright smile came to him, an image of his younger brother. Cruel of his mind, to conjure up displays of his loved ones at his very last moments.

    "It took you long enough..." Leo gasped brokenly, a wet chuckle escaping him as he said his last words to the Krang.

    Giving them the last bit of satisfaction in knowing that they successfully managed to break him and shatter his resolve. It was almost to mock them in a way.

    "Leo!"

    My take on the whole post-movie recovery thingy but I put some personal pazazz on the rescue scene.

    Summary

    After all this time, and Wade still thinks there’s hope for the two of them. Wade still can’t see that Peter’s guilt is bigger than anything else in his life.

    Peter is going to ruin this. He's going to deform the malleability of something that started years ago when Peter knew nothing but death.

    Maybe, simply, Peter is not meant for anything more than that.

    Maybe Wade is just wasting his time, and the softness between them was never meant to go anywhere but here, to this moment, where Spider-Man decimates it.

    The thought of how much this is going to hurt fills him up to the tips of his ears.
