Yall, ive always been into Peter in Gotham fics, especially ones where one of the bats are his parent/guardian, but I haven't found one where it is for Cas! I feel like she'd be SUCH a good parent to Peter with her more modern humor (gen z peter has my heart) and her naturally caring nature. They'd do soooo well together!!!

I honeslty think that Peter's first opinion of Gotham would be of awe. Obviously without his spider sense, since we know it would be screaming at him to get away from that unfamiliar face. But Gotham itself as a whole would be absolutely jaw dropping to Peter. The Gothic and looming architecture would be such a stark difference against New York and Queens that the inner photographer in him would be screaming. I can just imagine Dick being the first to find him on a rooftop staring down at all the buildings with so much curiosity and instantly thinking that, yea, this is his kid now. Or maybe it's Jason who finds him first, wandering in Crime Alley with his eyes tracing all the details of every house and building, even the wreckage, with love and understanding, and Jason can't help but to soften a little inside.

Ok, so get this: you're a mermaid(man), any kind, doesn't really matter. And one day, somehow, some sleezebag circus guy snatches you up as a display, and your just fucked. No one knows you're gone, and its not like you can break out and escape since your nowhere near a big enough source of water.

Then, this idiot of a ringmaster decides to go to Metropolis/Bludhaven/Gotham, and ends up getting caught. Unbeknownst to you, you had taken a nap earlier that day and were asleep during all of it.

The Justice league and maybe some of the bats (Nightwing and Signal) just busted this very illegal circus and their going around and freeing all the basically slaves when they happen on you, napping on a rock in your absolutely giant aquarium. Aquaman stands there for a moment, just stunned, and then he's pissed. As you wake up, you're met with the sight of Superman holding him back from going and killing the ringmaster. Once Aquaman realizes you're awake, he rushes up to the glass to reassure you that everything will be ok now.

You're flooded with relief and swim to him and place your hands on his that were laying on the glass, conveying your gratitude in some way (singing, gifting a scale, blowing bubbles). They set you free in the ocean and Aquamna visits you all the time with gifts and stuff, along with whoever else you want.

So everyone knows how Peter has to eat more right? Like his advanced metabolism causes his body to run through food and calories waaaayyy faster. But just imagine Peter hiding it from May when he first gets bit, and Tony later on after just getting used to starving to the point he thinks the feeling is normal. And then he and Tony end up getting closer and he's going to the tower all the time, and Tony is slower but surely upping the amount he's feeding Peter cause like, he's a growing boy, he's needs to eat.

And then he realizes that Peter stops eating when he gets to a certain amount EVERY time and is like, "Hey, what's all that about?" And Peter just explains in casually and Tony is absolutely pissed, like, mad mad. So they plan a diet to get Peter to what he actually needs to eat, while also discovering how high his metabolism is. After a while, Peter starts growing, like, A LOT. And all of a sudden he's like, six feet tall and actually really energetic and hyper to the point it's actually kid of insane.

Peter doesn't mind being there. Like, legit he doesn't want to go home or anything. He just, makes a new identity, gets a job, a cheap home in Crime Alley and is chillin. He stopped spider-maning and is just enjoying his life as a new adult (he's around 21). He volunteeres at the shelters when he's not working or going out with friends to bars or concerts. THEN... Jason and him meet and they immediately click, and slowly but surely they get closer. Obviously Jason's a little resistant, but Peter just brings out the best in him, I guess, and they finally get together. After a couple months, Peter catches on that he's a vigilante and is just like, "cool, just keep me updated," and Jason's dumbfounded that that's the reaction he got.
