MJ WEEK 2023

I'm sorry, I only know what's been shared on @mjweek

I did have 2 fics planned for the prompts but I don't think I'll get them done in time unfortunately - they'll make their way into the world at some point I'm sure

Hello, Spidey Fandom! 

I hope this new year has brought you health and happiness so far, and that it continues to prosper throughout 2023. The best news to announce is that our beloved MJ Watson will be celebrated for an entire week again, for the third time! I can’t believe it’s already the 3rd official MJ Week. This is an event that is so special to me, and I’m excited to share the new prompts with you for the year. 

As always, this week’s purpose is to highlight the importance and depth of MJ, to emphasize her character as a whole person. The prompts are to encourage writers and artists and MJ-lovers of all kinds to express your thoughts and feelings through fanfics, moodboards, artworks, graphics, gifsets, etc.

If you post your work on AO3, make sure to add it to our ongoing collection, MJ Week. When you post on Tumblr, make sure to tag our blog so we can boost your work!

Prompts

Monday, April 10th: Between the Reveal and the Spell - Fill in the gap between Far From Home’s ending and the first act of No Way Home (the first spell). A lot of the footage was not included in the final cut, so what do you think should have been added, too?

Tuesday, April 11th: Quiet Moments - Amidst the mayhem of living in a superhero-filled world, what are some of the moments in between that are…quieter? What are the slices of life that MJ experiences?

Wednesday, April 12th: Free Day - Anything you want!

Thursday, April 13th: College AU - Our girl got into MIT! What is her life like? What does she major in? Any extra-curricular? Who does she meet? Will Spider-Man come back to her life…? 

Friday, April 14th: MJ Remembers - The final spell of No Way Home caused MJ to lose her memories of the existence of Peter Parker. How would it be like for her if when she remembers who he is? 

I hope you are all excited to participate and good luck!

a young, shy MJ Watson watches her mother rehearsing on stage, wondering if she should follow in her footsteps. her mom always plays the lead, in both the theatre and her own life. though their relationship will strain as the years pass, she will always be proud of her mom, and hopes her mom will be proud of her too, no matter what she chooses to do.

never let me go

a treat for my sweet @she-grulk

“I’m fine, Ned.”

“If you say so,” he says, sounding like he doesn’t believe her.

Michelle doesn’t blame him.

She doesn’t believe herself.

Summary:

“We’re lucky we never had to do online dating. I think I would’ve sucked at it. You’ll probably be great – how could you not be, who wouldn’t want to date you? – but I thought I’d help you out with your profile. Give you a head start. I think I’m the perfect person to vouch for how amazing you are.”

Peter knew he would die too soon. He left MJ a letter. Inspired by “You May Want to Marry My Husband.” For @mjweek: open prompt.

For the Free Day of @mjweek

Moments of Peter thinking of MJ

pandemonium (the good place au)

Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a great day! Here’s my submission for MJ Week 2022 – based off Season 1′s finale of The Good Place!

For Day Six of @mjweek: Figuring It Out

MJ as Eleanor

Peter as Chidi

Flash as Tahani

Brad as Jason

Ned as Janet

Mr. Harrington as Michael 

Quentin Beck as Shawn 

“You have 30 minutes,” Mr. Beck turns on a countdown floating above the four of their heads before crossing his arms and walking away as he continues to MJ’s bedroom, “because I won’t be returning to the Bad Place without two people.”

As soon as he disappears from the living room, MJ turns around to face a poor, hopeless Harrington. She scans his face carefully before he says, “All I wanted was my first neighborhood to be perfect. Now you’re all suffering. I’m sorry.”

Harrington steps away, standing quietly behind the clown-painted automatic doors to MJ’s bedroom, listening to the sound of the circus echo before leaving the four of them alone to make their final decision.

MJ being an artist is something that can be so personal actually

All the Right Moves

Reviving a WIP for Day 6 of @mjweek :))

Spider-Man was one of several vigilantes in the city, none of them really crossing her radar in all the years she lived there. Unlike Pepper, Michelle refused to engage with that side of her dad’s life at all - secretly terrified of what it could mean for her.

It had played a not insignificant part of why Michelle had rebelled so fiercely growing up, closing her eyes to try and chase the memories of the blur of those years - the anger and resentment that had fueled her for so long.

Michelle wasn’t that person anymore, hadn’t been in years. But as the city passed by, the car getting closer and closer to the Tower, Michelle couldn’t help but wonder what could possibly have been so important to her father today that he put himself in harm’s way.

“Miss Jones-Watson, you’re partnered with Mr. Thompson.”

Flash’s eyes found hers from across the classroom, and MJ gave him a curt nod to acknowledge their pairing. When his upper lip curled in distaste, she fought the urge to roll her eyes.

MJ was not looking forward to this.
