He just so happens to be really good for no reason and people LOVE him (other film majors try to steal him all the time)

Like almost everything i post is fluff and all but I want a scenario where peter is (willingly or unwillingly) already w the batfam, but they think hes a civilian so they are constantly excluding him or leaving half way through smth and just outright unsure how to even interact with him

And I've only seen like. Two fics like this, and I rlly do like the idea of a peter grayson (as a brother or son) already existing and peter parker kinda just takes his body

But what i specifically NEED is peter being a petty asshole

Like. Peter G doesnt know his family are vigilantes, but Peter P puts it together in like. A week lol. And so he just side eyes and snarks everyone bc he has Peter G's memories and or he had a diary, and Peter P does NOT like these assholes one bit

So he'll just be like. "Careful Steph, wouldn't want any spoilers."

Whistling the red Robin tune

Constantly going, "riddle me this, batman" to Bruce

Idk more to pick fights, but I rlly RLLY want peter to lose his temper and sock this shit out of someone and idk general angst and miscommunication and peter accurately hitting every single sore point of (insert batfam character)

I also wouldn't be opposed to a no happy ending where peter just moves out and never looks back 👀

Masterlist | next

Peter thinks batman is like, a bat meta, so he keeps waiting on rooftops and trying to give him fruit and everyone is like "if anyone ruins this im breaking the no kill rule" and Peter's absolutely MORTIFIED when he finds out

Oracle: Hey, batman?

Batman, already sighing. His Dad Gut is going off.

Spoiler: I know that sigh! Is it fruit kid? I hope its fruit kid. Hes insane I love him

Oracle, not even hiding her laugh: fruit kid has a name, ya know

Red Robin, maybe losing his mind a little bit: no one believes his name is Peter Pan! He used the peanut butter as proof when B asked!

like idk if its tom or andrew or toby or a mix of em, or if peter died and was sent to gotham or if he just like fell through a portal or something.

24 year old peter parker has been spider-man for a bit over a decade, when he falls into gotham, eventually finds out he’s in another universe, and then when he’s like “its 1992, i won’t be getting home any time soon,” decides to hang up the suit until he was like, surviving and financially stable, right?

so he gets a job, gets a lil apartment, and its been at least six months since he arrived here. and he’s walking home from work when his spider-sense pings him to look into the alley.

he can see a dumbass in kevlar bleeding near a dumpster, and the first words out of his mouth as he throws his hands up are “of fucking course.”

so he moves closer, with the intent to help, of course.

and our very own baby batman (its like, one of his first nights out, and while he has all of his training, he’s still trying to understand the ground level of actually fighting gotham’s crime, so we’ll put him around 25 or 26 as well) is all, “don’t come any closer. stay where you are. i’ll stab you.” in his baby batman not-quite-growl-yet.

peter just kinda blinks at him for a moment, before deciding to just wing it.

“listen, man. i don’t give a shit who you are under that mask. if you can show me that you can stand up and clean and stitch your own wound, i’ll walk away, right now.”

and bruce kinda just doesn’t know what to do with that, because, he doesn’t really want to bleed out in this alleyway either, but he doesn’t know this guy.

peter sighs, and comes closer to help, but bruce growls.

“alright then, tough guy. stand up. come on, if you’re so fine then stand up.” peter responds, hands in his pockets.

bruce tries and fails to stand, the awkward positioning of the stab wound making it awfully difficult, and peter sighs again.

“alright, my name’s peter, and my apartment is right up those steps. lets get this closed up and you’re free to throw yourself off more buildings.”

as peter gets bruce up and to his apartment, the only thoughts he has are is this what i was like? god, i must’ve been annoying as hell.

they get upstairs, peter is all “oh i don’t even have advil, let alone anything better.” and bruce is all “i’ll be fine.” as peter stitches him up.

bruce comes back a few times after that, they’re kinda buds now? they chat about a few things here and there, and its sorta nice.

then, bruce is introduced to his first rogue.

he knows he can handle it, but right now it all just feels like a bit much, so he goes to peter’s to chill out for a sec.

when he gets there, he explains what’s happening, slowly calming back down.

but then peter’s all like “welp, guess we’re kicking his ass.” and pulls out his spider-man suit from a dresser drawer.

bruce is quite baffled, having less than no idea what the hell peter is doing, but follows him all the same.

in true parker fashion, he makes a bit of a mess, but he does kick the guy’s ass.

afterwards, bruce just says, “come on, we’ll go back to the cave.” and peter is just- “of course, you live in a cave.”

they have the whole “i’ve been a vigilante for ten years” talk, and go from there.

eventually, bruce trusts him enough to take the cowl off, and peter’s first words are “wow, your face is weirdly symmetrical. kinda freaking me out, not gonna lie.”

and bruce is just “you don’t know who i am?”

and peter’s all “am i supposed to?”

“i am literally famous.”

“i’m not from around here.”

“like, sort of world famous.”

“i’m not from around here.”

“i mean, the entire world knows who bruce wayne is, peter.”

“i’m really not from around here?”

and then they have the multiverse talk.

“so, we can add getting you home to our long-term to-do list if you want?”

“i mean, my whole family is dead and i can actually hold down a job, here. we’re cool.”

so anyways, the batman timeline goes about the same, only with spider-man in the mix.

so when the jla forms, not only do they send an invite to batman, they send one to spider-man.

so when the two show up for the first time after that invitation, they do so together.

batman all brooding and shadows, with spider-man all bouncing and smiles behind the mask.

batman is about to set some boundaries for their agreement to provide assistance, before spider-man speaks up.

“so, here’s how this is gonna go.” he points at superman, all dramatic, “you and me are gonna spar. you win, and we’ll join.” he vaguely gestures towards bruce. “i win, and we’re gonna go home, maybe stop for milkshakes.” he cocks his head towards bruce, whose face is in his hands as he tries not to break character.

“wha-what?” clark finally responds, looking around to see the rest of the league just as unsure about what’s going on.

“you heard me. i’ve got a bet riding on this. so, you in or are we going?” and batman is looking at superman with a blank face that can only mean go along with his game or i will hurt you.

superman just nods his head hesitantly, as spider-man cheers.

Apologies for my ramblings of this ridiculous possible fic idea.

Isekai'd protagonist Peter Parker is sent to Gotham a few months after the events of No Way Home. He enters Gotham as Peter NOT Spider-man.

Curses his Parker Luck™ and navigates around. -> Bat fam is not going to be involved much in the beginning until shit really hits the fan <-

Won't be spider-manning but that ain't going to stop him from helping the little guy. Since we are combining the soul infinity stone plot, Peter's eyes turn golden at time when he unconsciously uses the stone's abilities. (If you see my vision, you'll know where I'm going with this.)

Peter tries to keep a low profile but he does end up making a bit of a name for himself. It's not until a Gothamite catches wind of eyes that they get terrified and think he's a rogue talon. It doesn't help that the spider bite messed with Peter's thermoregulation (idk if it's canon but I do see this from time to time) so they see that he's vulnerable to cold weather.

Dick is away on a space mission when all this is going down. (I remember a comment on one fic that said Dick's life changing events happen when he's in space. Peter can relate.)

Rumor reaches Bab's as well as the Court of Owls too.

The court sends someone who gets bested in a fight with Peter but they survive being terminated on the pure chance that they got a bit of his DNA. Guess who it matches? Gray Son of Gotham

It's not until the talons are being spotted all over Gotham that puts Peter in the bat's attention.

The bat fam pretty much think Peter is a rogue talon that was raised as a replacement for Dick. Dick’s horrified that his son (his son!) ended up taking his place and trying his hardest to bring Peter home. They think that Peter's abilities are all from the Electrum enhancement. (Wrong) Peter is ignoring and evading the court and the vigilantes while helping out a person or two.

For my own sake and sanity, this is a list of some that do stand out, that either break the mould or use it well enough to be memorable anyway. These are the updates I crave.

And When You Fall by @blackbellabu Peter in Gotham, but arrives together with a strange little girl he's never seen before.

Die a Little Sweeter by @forestofbabel Throws the mould out the window entirely. Peter keeps visiting Gotham at different stages of his life.

Existential Crisis Mode by @luciaintheskyainthi Everyone knows this one, right? No transition via snap, or pit, or universal erasure spell, which stands out right from the start.

Home Sweet Home by @queenisdemilo This one hits a lot of the tropes, but it does it so well, and has me on the edge of my seat.

The Mime of Gotham City by @lemongrovesandcloves Peter lands in the hands of the Joker instead of the bats. Longing for the next chapter to this one!

Phantom Liberty by @kpeccati Skips the orientation, and is set when Batman is just starting his career.

Stuck in a Web by AislinnHeart The bats are hilariously incompetent when it comes to being reassuring and trustworthy.

Clark Kent is the kind of guy to respond with “Ain’t nobody lookin at the damn dog” with heart eyes while accidentally logged into his official Superman account

The internet completely breaks, and people make the tweet into shirts. He is constantly faced with the most embarrassing mistake of his life. both in his civilian life and superhero life

Wally, slightly tipsy: Hear that, Roy? wE hAvE tO Be qUIeT.

Roy: Oh come on, Dick, you think the big bad Bat's going to yell at us for coming here late? It's not like you Bats ever sleep anyway.

Dick: No, not Bruce.

Wally: Alfred-

Dick: It's Duke.

Roy: Duke? The kid in the yellow? With the light show? You're afraid of him?

Dick, shhhing them: He's the day shift. He's sleeping. If you fucking wake him-

Duke, appearing at the top of the stairs: Hello Richard.

Dick:

Wally: Sorry to wake you, Duke.

Roy: We're just heading to bed now.

Duke: *walks away*

Wally: The great scary Nightwing afraid of a kid.

*at dawn*

Duke: *opens door to Dick's room where Wally is sleeping next to Dick and Roy is sleeping on the floor*

Duke: *flashbangs the fuck out of them*

Wally: *screaming*

Roy: *screaming*

“I mean,” Peter said with a shrug, “I used to sell pictures of myself for money. Maybe I should do it again.”

Tim nearly choked on his drink.

Steph blinked. “...What kind of pictures?”

Peter snorted. “The kind people paid stupid amounts for if I got caught in the middle of things.”

Duke’s eyes widened in horror.

Peter kept going, blissfully unaware.

“I mean, it wasn’t THAT bad. My... uh... sponsor made sure I was taken care of.”

Tim stared. “Your… sponsor.”

“Yeah,” Peter said casually. “Found me when I was fourteen.”

Dick’s voice exploded through the still-active phone call Tim had forgotten to hang up.

“WHAT.”

“Honestly, he kinda ghosted me after he was done with me though.”

Steph made a strangled noise somewhere between sympathy and fury.

Duke looked physically ill.

“To be fair,” Peter continued, “I DID crash his—”

He stopped.

“...Uh. I mean, I was involved in a plane crash. Uh. His plane.” Peter rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “He felt bad afterward and offered me a deal which i turned down?”

“What kind of deal?” Duke whispered.

Peter froze for a second too long before replying, “...An internship?”

Nobody believed him.

Not even remotely.

“After he died I spiraled a little,” Peter continued quietly. “Trusted the wrong guy.”

Tim’s stomach dropped.

Peter rubbed at his face tiredly.

“And then he uploaded a video of me to the internet.”

Jason’s voice immediately cut through Dick’s phone speaker, where he had been listening in on.

“HE WHAT?”

Steph slapped both hands over her mouth.

Duke looked ready to commit murder.

Tim had gone eerily still in the way Bruce usually did.

Peter noticed the silence and finally started looking uncertain.

Determining he should probably just finish the story, he continued, “I tried to fix it, but I screwed everything up and lost everyone.”

The room fell into horrified silence.

Peter looked around. Realized far too late that he had completely obliterated the mood. And promptly panicked.

“ANYWAY,” he announced way too loudly, “I’m broke again. Maybe I should start selling pics again, hahaha—”

“ABSOLUTELY NOT,” Duke said instantly.

“No,” Tim agreed immediately.

Somewhere on the other end of the line, Dick had gone suspiciously quiet with a darkened expression over his face that spelt trouble for the people that hurt his family, and Jason didn't feel like stopping him anytime soon.

And Peter....
