I think..it’s the idea of having someone who understands you so completely, loves you unconditionally (the good and bad), the lack of..judgement or rather..the complete and utter acceptance.

Why wouldn’t someone find that appealing?

Venom and Eddie just get each other. They fit together. It’s just such a beautiful mess. They’re both absolute disasters and they love each other so much. 

It almost reminds me of pacific rim and the concept of being drift compatible. There’s something so alluring about these concepts and I suppose it is in the same way soulmate au’s are? 

 there’s something alluring about it that just makes my heart (and many other people too it seems) just melt…

There are a lot of other reasons that contribute I think but from reading an embarrassing amount of symbrock fic in the last week that’s the one thing that ties almost all those fics together. Their deep connection. The closeness and unconditional love. Acceptance. Understanding.

Things everyone desires..and hey?

Who doesn’t love a good love story?

“That’s it, baby, wrap those tentacles around me!”

SMILE FOR THE CAMERA

Anchored down to the soles of his feet, Eddie feels it. He feels it in his bones, in a way that would sound cliche if it weren’t so fucking true.

Venom is more than the slipping-slide, more than the way he stitched together sinews and more than the sinister curl of stretching skin against his fingers. And he was more than that because Eddie is starting to lose touch.

There was a gap, initially. A chasm, really, where there was space and not-one-ness.

That’s long gone, now.

Eddie makes a soft noise as he stretches in his room, Absently, Venom’s itches his- their- our-

Venom itches the exposed skin of his stomach and then smoothes onto his hips.

Summary:

Coffee shops, as it turns out, are a viable source of work, even for people like Eddie.

*** You like the cafe work.

“Do I?” he scratches at his head, leaning back on his hips. “What makes you say that?”

You like it when people smile at you.

Uh. Uh.

“Do I?” he repeats. “Huh.”

He doesn’t think about Annie’s smile, doesn’t think about Dan’s grin, doesn’t think about the odd way Venom could split his mouth, and the teeth, the teeth- He doesn’t think about it. Doesn’t.

God damn it, Eddie.
