Happy belated birthday/holiday season, @wagemama-ningyo! I hope you appreciate this gift fic. It fills my O4: Secret Identity/Identity Reveal square for the Bodyslide Bingo Event (the prompt isn’t really as big a party of the fic as I wanted it to be, sadly, but unfortunately the romance angle took over for the prompt); and yes I know I’m insanely late for this to be written as part of @polyshipweek but 1. I do what I want, and 2. this story idea was perfect for the Alt 10 Entire polycule fell for/flirt with the same person prompt so I’m just gonna go for it. 

Thanks as always to @tinysugacube for her grammatical prowess, as well as to Marvin for his official seal of approval.

Chapter One: it’s a damn cold night

“Ah, this is so cool. I always wanted brothers.”

Peter sighed as he adjusted his goggles, leaning over the machine that had been his obsession for the past three weeks. Three weeks since he returned to his own universe. Three weeks since he had gone back to being alone.

Uncle Ben was gone. Gwen was gone. Harry was gone. Aunt May was gone, too, and there wasn’t even anyone for him to fight over it—he could do a lot as Spider-Man, but one thing he couldn’t fight was cancer. These days, he split his time between his underground lab and swinging from building to building. But Spider-Man was not really a hero anymore. Not since he stopped pulling his punches. Not since he broke into Ravencroft and killed the man who had once been his best friend. Not since he had let his rage consume him and send him on a warpath.

Helping the younger Peter, saving his MJ, healing the world instead of breaking it—that had felt good. When the older Peter called him amazing… Peter had not realized how much he had needed to hear that. How much he’d needed to feel like he belonged somewhere.

When he first returned to his universe, it was with a brightened outlook and excitement. Max and Dr. Connors had both been cured. Who knew how much that would change his reality? Part of him held the hope that, with them cured, Gwen would be alive again—maybe even her father too. Perhaps Harry would not have gone insane. There were endless possibilities in the multiverse.

And yet, upon returning to his universe, he found himself back in his underground lab, with everything looking the exact same as he left it. He had no missed texts or calls; everything was in the same place, and he was once again alone. Of course, if he had given it proper thought—had not let himself get caught up in the excitement, in the feeling of belonging—he would have realized. Everyone had been sent back to different universes, different timelines. None of their branches were the same. And so yes, there were timelines where Gwen was alive, where things were better. But that was not his timeline. Here he was alone.

Perhaps not for long, though.

Wow... string theory, multidimensional reality, and matter displacement… all real?

Dr. Strange had cracked open the universe with magic, and Peter was no magician. He could not hope to do the same. But what he couldn’t accomplish with magic… with enough determination, he just might be able to do it with science. That, or die trying.

I stacked them! Also sent them on a nice picnic date
