    Summary

    Slade Wilson doesn't have a conscience. If he ever had one, he got rid of it years ago. But watching a man half his age cry every night from his nightmares is starting to get to him, waking up feelings he long ago put aside.

    ---

    A Canon Divergence AU: What if Slade looked into the Arkham Knight's history? What if, bothered by his own family issues, he decided to help the Arkham Knight in his own way, rather than helping him continue his revenge against Batman?

    Summary

    A long saunter down memory lane sprouts up more anxiety than smiles when Harry’s reminded of the first and last time he and Peter had their own try at the love-test machine.

    Can he tear down the walls he put between himself and that fantasy? Bulldoze brick? Loosen grout? Or will he dissolve himself first?

    Summary

    “Hey, why did you never tell me you were dating the Human Torch?”
    Peter freezes. This is hell of a bomb to drop on a guy when he’s making sandwiches at F.E.A.S.T. He turns to look at Miles as if he grew an extra head, laughing nervously.
    “Cause I’m not dating Johnny?” Peter says, although it sounds way more like he’s asking him.

    Peter works out what he is to Johnny, albeit with much difficulty.

    Summary

    As they ride yet again through the humidity of a queer, sultry summer, their two horses side-by-side, Peter can’t help but look at him from the corner of his eye, cautious, wanting. The charcoal leather. The sharp angles. All the ways the legends are true.

    Without warning, he meets his eye, and Peter jerks his head away, heart thudding.

    “So,” Wade says, smiling that sly, half-cocked smile of his, hat tipped to the side. “Partners?”

    Bit by a radioactive spider, declared an outlaw, and trapped in an alliance with an unruly mercenary, Peter Parker sets out to clear his name and expose the corruption that plagues the frontier. As he struggles with his newfound powers and an unsettling attraction to his partner, Peter must decide what he is— a man, a myth, or something else entirely.
