Summary
Peter Parker always kind of thought that getting bitten by a spider in his teens and subsequently developing all sorts of non-human anatomy was the worst it was going to get for him. He couldn’t have been more wrong and he was one of the lucky ones.
The spider was just a shot over the bow, though. The foam on a wave from an ocean of shit that no one realized was coming until it was too late. Animals started to mutate, although scientists didn’t know how or why, or when. The biological changes were sudden, happening at an alarming rate, spreading to humans through bites and contaminated feces and who knew what else.
Then, humans began mutating on their own, without the nudge from the animal kingdom. And that’s when things got much, much worse. Like losing sentience worse.
It turns out that no one expects zombies.
OR
Five years deep in a zombie apocalypse, Peter Parker thought he had things figured out. That is, until he finds himself rescued (or is that kidnapped) by a group of soldiers. Well, one soldier in particular.

Summary
“Couple months ago, I got a box. Like a voice. In my head. It’s kinda hard to explain but I’d never had it before. Not like that anyway. Thought maybe my brain was finally startin’ to rot but nothing else happened. Just that mouthy fucker bangin’ around inside my skull.” Deadpool draws one of his katanas and swings it at the tall grass growing on either side of the drive. Death with a scythe. “Then we rescued you and…”
Peter glances at the soldier as his voice trails off. He’s gone stock still, the sword held out at his side, head cocked to listen. Deadpool starts walking again but Peter clocks the difference in his posture. On edge.
“Don’t get me wrong, Goggles,” he continues like he hadn’t stopped at all. “I’ve always been great at killin’ but that was… different. Felt like I enjoyed it more than usual. I wanted to soak the earth with those assholes' blood. Wanted to bathe in it.”
OR
Peter and his kidnapper/protector, Deadpool, have been separated from the other soldiers, chasing clues that Peter doesn't really understand. Something else, however, becomes blatantly obvious. The soldier he's with now is not okay.

Summary
Deadpool’s hand drops from Peter’s jaw and wraps around one of his wrists, guiding a sharp claw to slice through the soldier’s bottom lip. His tongue runs over the cut, licking up the blood, and a manic glee spreads across his face.
“First blood, Webs. Bet you just fucked the odds.” Peter can smell the rich, copper scent of it and it makes him dizzy. Deadpool drags Peter to his feet, swiping at the cut and smearing blood down toward the corner of his jaw. Peter tracks the movement with his eyes. “Now, kill me.”
OR
Peter and Deadpool have been held in captivity by radical religious extremists for weeks. The gladiator-style fights the radicals force Deadpool into have some unintended consequences and Peter finds himself between a rock and hard place. How far is he willing to go to escape?

Summary
“Gonna get real cold, real fast.” Glee sharp enough to cut slides off the words and Peter just manages to bite back an irate growl. “Might have to share body heat.”
Peter shoves his notebook into a pocket and turns toward the soldier with a scowl. He feels his fingers curl into hooks, ready to claw into something, ready to draw blood, ready to—
Fuck.
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.
No.
“I’d rather die,” Peter grits out after a few measured breaths.
It occurs to him that, before the compound, he never would have spoken to Deadpool like this. But Peter doesn’t care now. The soldier is a psychopath, Peter has seen it firsthand. Except, he hasn’t killed Peter. And now he needs Peter. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough to keep Peter from cowering.
OR
Peter and Deadpool keep an uneasy truce as they head to Killebrew Labs. The place the soldier has been trying to get to this whole time. Peter just wishes he knew why.

Summary
“Since you’re here, I need another blood sample.”
Before the words finish leaving Peter’s mouth, Deadpool has pulled a hunting knife off his belt, flipped the hilt in his hand, and run the razor-sharp point of the blade down the inside of his forearm. From just below those scarred puncture wounds all the way down to his wrist.
Dark blood pours out of the wound, perfuming the air with a scent that makes Peter’s mouth water and his fangs ache.
“Help yourself, black widow.”
OR
Peter and Deadpool have managed to survive the apocalypse so far. Now, holed up at Killebrew Labs, Peter attempts to solve Deadpool’s “zombie problem”. But when Killebrew starts revealing its secrets, they might not survive each other.
