idk i thought this was funny LOLOL, hawkguel bromance ftw

it kind of baffles me that no one talks about how obsessed hawk is with miguel. like sure, don't call it romantic, whatever, but you have to admit he's EXTREMELY loyal to him throughout the series. quite literally everything he does is mainly for miguel (and sometimes demetri). again, it can be platonic i guess but it's just shocking that i don't see it talked about more considering how much he idolizes him, strange

context: pb&jj is a new popular mcu fanon group comprised of peter parker, joaquín torres, bob reynolds, and johnny storm WHICH are all my fav marvel characters so deal with it

also, like all my other spidermetri au's, this doesn't tie in with the others, this one is more mcu compliant :3 (ALSO F4 WAS SO GOOD I RECOMMEND 100%)

and without further ado, in honor of f4 officially premiering, PB&JJ !!

demetri alexopoulos - spider-man

best friend/crush: human torch

stand-offish to the rest of the group at first (scared of getting close to anyone after everyone he cared about died or forgot he existed)

became a hero at the youngest age and bonds with robby who was the second youngest

struggles to feel content with himself (not good enough to balance mit and being spider-man, not good enough to live up to iron man's legacy, not good enough to save his aunt, not good enough to keep his girlfriend and best friend safe)

eli/hawk moskowitz - sentry/void

best friend/crush: falcon

struggles with feeling inadequate since he can't use his powers without being manic/depressive (which miguel helps him with)

often underestimated due to his quiet nature

VERY troubled past but he's either too cocky or too quiet for anyone to guess

super chill aaand incredibly resourceful and intelligent

also weird not scientifically accurate hc: his hair changes color/length/style between eli, sentry, and void - bc i said so

miguel diaz - falcon

best friend/crush: eli

also underestimated because of his kind and silly personality

very ambitious person who's hard on himself to reach his goals

works hard to prove himself as the new falcon and not make a mistake (which eli, when not in sentry/void mode, always reassures him about)

robby keene - human torch

best friend/crush: spider-man

struggling to adjust to this new world and time (he's from 1960s earth-828 but now in 2027 earth-616)

finds a lot of comfort and familiarity in demetri, who's somewhat an old soul and sci fi nerd himself (they get each other's niche references and are open to teaching each other more things)

ALWAYS overlooked and objectified for his looks but when he's not annoying demetri or mr fantastic on purpose, he's actually really helpful in the lab and in space (and fighting strategies)

inspired to FINALLY finish this by @bunnybonesstudio thank you thank you you're a gem

ignore the fact that all the hsm outfits are horrendous, seriously who let them wear that? so i did the best i could with what i had

also i really wanted miguel with the wildcats jersey but troy wears the exact shirt miguel is wearing in all three movies...coincidence?? i think not

miguel, popular basketball captain, content to live in his basketball world, meets sam, science whiz and adorkably shy nerd

sam, ever the curious soul, starts questioning if maybe she doesn't just like science and math...hint hint...and inadvertently shows miguel maybe he likes more than just basketball...wink wink

ENTER - the totally homo-repressed status quo crowd - eli and moon

although from two different worlds, both eli and moon have the same agenda: keep miguel and sam in line

eli works double time to convince miguel these "unnatural" thoughts about theatre are just a fluke and hey, everyone wonders from time to time right? but you can't act on them, you're miguel "the man" diaz !

moon is a little more down to earth about sam's curiosity but she still wants her to focus because she may not be "sports" popular but she still has a reputation to uphold and sam may be her best friend but being a weirdo theatre kid is crossing some sort of line

AND NOW, the two immovable forces that REALLY don't want sam and miguel together in theatre: tory and demetri

though tory and demetri have beautiful chemistry and talent onstage - thank you very much 17 school productions since kindergarten - they lowkey hate each other; they're just so comfortable in their crazed artist and the willing henchman dynamic that they don't feel the need to change anything

they're both pretty comfortable in themselves in general, hence why they're such social pariahs to the rest of the school and why they tolerate each other so much (they don't care if their classmates judge them for being openly...theatre kids...wink wink)

demetri hates the idea of samguel's infiltration of the play because "that's not how things work around here, someone like miguel and sam would make our production look ridiculous"

tory hates it because she's jealous of the couple's bond and wishes it was hers instead (who she's jealous of is a matter of opinion...) (demetri thinks she's in love with sam but she chews him out any time he brings them up so he decides to keep his mouth shut)

shenanigans and toxic masculinity speeches from coach lawrence ensue, miguel and sam fight to prove liking more than what's socially acceptable is okay

everyone else foams at the mouth to pry them apart - moon and eli work together to trick miguel into admitting theatre and sam don't matter in front of her; tory and demetri are ever the strategists and switch the callback date to the day of the basketball championship and the decathlon meet; everyone tries to isolate them socially to peer pressure them into going back to normal

however comma through epic musical numbers and the magic of plot, eli and moon start considering if maybe liking "theatre" is okay, demetri and tory realize they don't need to spite others from their community for their previous opinions, and miguel and sam make everyone more comfortable with openly liking what they want to like, happy ending yay everyone's best friends :D

also bonus characters:

robby is another player on the basketball team who goes along with what the team likes BUT he...*dramatic pause* likes to BAKE

he's not all that into the witch hunt over miguel wanting to do theatre but he also sees that miguel's venture into the arts is causing the team to fall apart and he's more concerned about getting the team together so he doesn't really stick up for him either

he has a HUGE crush on tory tho and loves baking things for her, even when she acts indifferent toward him

anthony is yet another basketball player

he's often written off as the "weak link" and the "dumb one" but he's not dumb, he just doesn't care about the main group's drama

he does however have his eye trained on tory and demetri's piano player

alas, kenny, the quiet piano player that's extremely talented and overlooked

he's also not involved in the drama but he kind of hates tory and demetri (they're both so demanding and sarcastic, he can never get a word in)

he keeps an eye on the basketball player with #23 on his jersey (yes it's anthony obviously)

ANDANDAND some sequel shenanigans:

hsm 2 is miguel briefly shoving his other identity and feelings away to go back to normal basketball cool guy which obviously ends up pushing away all the friends he made and changed the minds of

with miguel out of the way, the rest of them get a lot closer

tory and demetri get in a fight about further sabotaging samguel (which demetri lowkey doesn't care about) and sam finds demetri sulking alone and invites him to hang out with the rest of them

eli challenges demetri to a baseball game and when demetri wins, they disappear then reappear wearing each other's clothes (no one acknowledges it but they both get weirdly close after that)

miguel also gets jealous of demetri's sudden closeness with sam without realizing it's not like that, which is really just his fault bc how can you not tell?

tory swoops in to usher miguel farther into his future as a basketball guy (maybe this will get him out of the way for good, she doesn't know for sure)

sam and miguel fight about miguel's sudden asshole stint so he decides to abandon it since the jerky basketball guy isn't who he wants to be, leaving tory frustrated that her plan was ruined again, demetri's happier with this new group of friends, and everyone is together again yay :D

hsm 3 is all about miguel feeling the need to choose one or the other, because the world wants him to pick a side: basketball or theatre

sam throws him for a curve when the post-grad program she wants to do is in okinawa and starts almost immediately after graduation

tory and demetri FINALLY let everyone else help with the spring production and tory certainly finds a new, happier normal among her new cast mates

they all choose their dream colleges, miguel decides on basketball AND theatre (and lowkey tells coach johnny lawrence to deal with it) (johnny doesn't care that much anymore bc he cares about miguel but damn doesn't anyone just like basketball anymore?)

sam: you can't just submit an instagram ask and expect them to come out on their public story!

demetri/tory: too late, they already answered it

robby: everyone already knew though

sam: ...who is everyone?

robby: just me then, i guess

sam: how could you have already known?

robby: twin telepathy?
