You've got Under Protection, which is a Coldflash focus, but they're currently in the MCU and neighbours with, you guessed it, Peter Parker. It's on a monthly posting schedule, so it's only natural that it crosses over with other Spidey fics.

Then, there's The 'How Not to be a Villain' Program, which has a Parksborn focus, blending the Amazing Spider-Man movies with the MCU and paying off on the accidental subtext I wrote into its prequel fic, Unremarkable.

Third in the line up is Strong Independent Spider (and I don't need no Iron Man) [because apparently, I didn't learn my lesson about long fic titles with The 'HNtbaV' Program], an MCU focused Spidey fic, with an incredibly slow burn Parksborn. I'll start posting when The 'HNtbaV' Program is finished, which might've been a purposeful choice on my part when I made that schedule at the start of the year. But past me also thought that I wouldn't be writing the fics at the same time and had way higher expectations for present me. (Jokes on them, I've had two major injuries since then, lol).

The yearning I experience has always been there, I think. I feel it in my mind, in my body, as a weight in my chest I carry often. Sometimes it’s a gift, sometimes it’s a burden. It’s in the words I write, it’s in the actions I take, it’s in the relationships I have, had, and will have in my lifetime. It’s a strong natural sensation to me, as unthinkable to do and feel as the act of breathing, and just as important to continue my existence.

My yearning is full of longing, full of passion and pain and hope and beauty. It’s a dichotomy, a blessing and a curse, a searing heat when it’s fulfilled and a craving for warmth when it’s not. It’s an intangible thing wanting tangible results, wishing for a person, for memories, for love and validation and a level of grand devotion equal to my own. It’s the certainty of uncertainty, of asking questions that may never be answered, of dreaming for things that may never be but fueling my hope for adventure on the horizon. It’s lightning in a bottle and for better or worse, I’m the vessel protecting its charge.
