look man. i don't need my wade to have a heart of gold. i fucking love wade that's got the sad clown gimmick and its sick to see because he hates himself for a damn good reason. bc that man is a goddamn awful piece of shit!!!!! he does amoral things and when he tries to have a code he breaks it. he can't hold himself to shit because every time he hates the fuck out of himself for killing someone who didn't deserve it he does it again. i also think, to borrow a phrase, a north star for his moral compass is goddamn interesting! and peter who HATES the fuck out of wade when they meet is so critical to their dynamic for me. i like the inverse of the dynamic he has with everyone else where he's no longer the annoying quippy one but instead irritated by this jokey jokey psychopath. i also think it's interesting that a peter who has lived a horrible fucking life and hates himself for every misstep gives a second chance to someone who is as bad as peter damn near believes himself to be. someone who might, for the first time, actually find a way to stop being so goddamn self pitying and take a step in the right direction. i don't think wade can ever be a *good* person for peter but i think he can damn near round himself out. idk this is late late night ramblings of a madman but im thinking about #them
YES, GIVE ME MORALLY AMBIGUOUS AND SELF-HATING WADE WILSON!
It goes with the entirety of his character to be self-hating and downright depressed because for a lot of his trauma (I.e. weapon x and torture and leaving people) it's HIS FAULT. Of course he hates himself, not to mention how he looks - that's a whole other bag of self-conscious cats.
I love it when he makes mistakes because it proves WE can make mistakes and still get back up to try again. WE might think of ourselves as the worst possible human who made the worst possible mistakes, but that does actually HAVE to be true. We are greater than our mistakes, and Deadpool is a prime example of wanting to be better whilst struggling along the way.
I also adore grumpy Peter Parker because that poor man has been through too much to not have an attitude mixed with depression. Spidey is also the opposite to Deadpool, of course he's gonna hate Dp at first.
I love these two as a pair because they just make sense. Each of their shortcomings are accounted for in the other, they fit like puzzle pieces. Love love love them.
i would love to say wade is bad but his heart is good and he never would hurt an animal or a kid or do anything morally difficult. yes he do and did and does!!!!!!! wade HAS done jobs where he enabled trafficking and where he killed people who never ever did anything wrong. because hes a fucking mercenary with a lot of trauma and even more mental illness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
peter who has never ever even bent on letting a person die even when they deserved it more than anyone ever has - and wade who totally surely has pulled the trolley lever and then shot the safe guy in the head for good measure.
this is sooooo rough and difficult but it is in fact what makes spideypool so special to me. peter is an undoubtedly good person whos aaalso got more trauma than fingers and toes (and even more guilt than that) thinks he fucking sucks for that one time he drove his uncles car and hit an already dead roadkill not to mention every time he was in a different state from a fatal crime hecause how dare he not be everywhere always at once as spiderman.
them somehow meeting in their fucked up middle is so so so special. and rounding out their own edges on the way
Let's do this! I have not read all of these. The ones I have not read have been recommended by those mentioned below + anonymous others. Anything that is explicit will be below the line, otherwise in no particular order. These will be from ao3. Assume completed unless otherwise stated. No dead dove or similar, content warnings prior to each summary. I will continue to add if anyone sends more! List below the break, and this is a long one.
You're gonna wanna be my bestfriend, baby by Firefly_ika
Teen&up. 11,843 words. "Peterâs given up caring about his identity around Wade. They're friends, proper friends, not just the kind of we-trade-banter-and-you've-saved-my-ass-a-few-times allies you tend to make in the vigilante gig. He hasn't exactly taken the mask off yet, but he's given more than enough information for Deadpool to track him down. The way he's going, it's like he'll reveal his whole life before, you know, actually revealing." (or) "Five things Peter exposes about himself, and the one that Wade figures out on his own."
Hunger Pains by X_Gon_Give_It
Teen&up. 931 words. Warning for graphic depictions of violence. "Why does he do this to himself? An angry thought hisses in Wadeâs brain. Why does he have to make it so damn hard every time? But the anger is quick. Like a snap, there and then gone. Of course, this is hard on him. Itâs easy to see the self hatred when he eats. The disgust at his own desperation. Now that heâs gotten to know Peter, and his sensibilities, it makes sense that this would be so difficult."
My Boyfriend's a Murder Bot by Fredegund
Mature. 55,912 words. Content warning, see tags. "Wade Winston Wilson is ugly. His skin's inside out. It ripples and moves every second of every day, at constant war with the cancer. Vanessa put on a brave face for him when she first saw the changes, but it turns out even she can't stomach the sight for long. He's ugly and alone and nothing will ever be good in life again - If only that were his only problem. But Weapon X is at it again, under crisp new management, turning orphans into super slaves and bringing out the big guns to make sure nobody interferes this go around (namely one Pool comma Dead). So now, not only is Wade alone and ugly forever, but he's got a bit of a pest problem in the form of a black-clad murder-happy man spider with a collar around his neck and an unhealthy obsession with tying Deadpool up. So maybe it's not all badâŠ"
because i have been lonely by QQI25
Teen&up. 8,591 words. See tag: basically Pete's a spider turned human. "As an immortal person, Wade has never really tried to make friends, save for a giant spider. But when an amulet turns the spider into a person, he has to learn how to live with another person in his life again."
When Instincts Take Over by TheStrange_One
Not rated, but no explicit content. 4,577 words. Not explicitly spideypool, but Peter & Wade nonetheless. "Wade had always had aâfascination, for lack of a better term, with NYCâs wall crawling web-themed hero. Just a little bit. Not a lot. He didnât collect information of every Spider-Man sighting, or anything (He totally did.) So when Spider-Man started acting strangely, it was really no wonder that Wade noticed first. Of course, it didnât hurt when he saw the behavior firsthand. Spidey webbing muggers, would-be rapists, and those who thought a little B&E was the best way to begin a day in a thick cocoon wasnât unusual. However, then whirling and hissingâhonest-to-God hissingâwas."
Dark Horizons by beforethemoon
Teen&up. 11,215 words. Warning for graphic depictions of violence. Content warning, see tags. "âYouâyouâre the Spider-Man.â From beneath the mask, a slow smile crept across Peterâs face. Gregory Smithâan ordinary name for a man who wasnât so ordinaryâwrithed in his grip. It was so easy to subdue the man; with his superstrength, Peter just had to apply the slightest pressure on good olâ Gregâs neck and the man was blissfully silent. He liked hearing that line, though: youâre the Spider-Man. The Webslinger. Or, if you were J. Jonah Jameson, the Wall-Crawling Menace. So many names, but all were said with the tinge of fear that Peter was addicted to. They always managed to choke out the words, and he always made sure those were their last."
Better than Beyond Beef by BunsofHoney
Teen&up. 16,313 words. **See tag: Riding the literal bleeding edge of smut. Has a sequel. "Wade took in Spideyâs inhuman appearance. "You look about ready to go hunting." "I⊠get like this sometimes, when I'm in a lot of pain, or fear, or angry I think. Right now IâŠI just need a really rare steak, that's all." - When a sudden explosion leaves them both badly injured, Wade discovers that Spider-Man's mutation can make him a little...feral. Wade makes an offer to help Spidey heal faster and satiate his craving. What's a little cannibalism between friends?"

Songs for the Zombie Apocalypse, a 5-part series by zerospoons_onlyknives (oprime)

Warning for graphic depictions of violence. "Peter Parker and Wade Wilson navigate zombies, religious extremists, and each other as they try to survive the apocalypse. What started as a kidnapping morphs into a weird bond between the two but sometimes it feels like only one of them can survive."
I'm Something of a Scientist Myself by fancastical
Explicit. 11,422 words. Content warning, read tags. "Wade decides to start dousing himself in various synthetic spider sex pheromones before meeting up with Spidey, because why wouldn't he? They have some⊠interesting results. Wade feels downright scientific."
Upside Down by TheOrangeWritingRanger
Explicit. 56,271 words. Warning for graphic depictions of violence. Content warning for an especially spidery Peter. "Wade Wilson is as happy as a chipmunk in a peanut factory, Avenging by day as Deadpool, playing videogames and eating countless tacos by night. But something is missing from his life, or so say the ever present voices in his head. In the course of investigating several gruesome deaths with his teammates Hawkeye and Black Widow, they discover that something large and arachnoidian is terrorising New York. 'Pool follows some clues, and that cute brunet guy who keeps turning up, and finds himself at the spinneret ends of the elusive spider monster. But is he actually a monster, or is there more to his story?"
Babe Wake Up, It's Pumpkin Spice Season by X_Gon_Give_It
Explicit. 7,460 words. "He glances over the thick black lettering above the picture (SPIDER-MAN AND DEADPOOL: PARTNERS?) and focuses solely on Deadpool. The merc has two guns out in an exchange of bullets with a robber inside a bank. This wasnât long ago. A week at most. Each shot had been calculated, the bullets never missing their mark, as the smell of smoke and gunpowder drifted in the air, heavy enough to choke on. Peter roamed over the display of muscles covered by a body suit of spandex and leather. For someone who rarely exposed their skin, Deadpoolâs suit had a way of accenting every inch of his body. His steady posture didnât help. Or those rolling shoulders. His large hands. Again, the feeling stirs in Peterâs gut, more insistently. Urging."
Wade Wilson's Guide to Studying Your Spider by X_Gon_Give_It

you're goodness; i'm what's in between by strawberxi (Tupipsie)
Explicit. 7,416 words. "âI love you, Wade,â Peter stated, said so casually that one might have assumed they were dating. He said them like they were factâ and Peter supposed they were, if he was making proper sense of his feelings. Wade just stilled. Peter didn't move, and his heart sunk deep into his stomach. Even then he couldn't take the words back, and he didn't want to. - a spideypool getting together fic"
Soup and steam - an earthquake waiting to happen by pandafish
Explicit. 9,219 words. "The worst thing about having the flu when you were essentially half spider was that the fever became like ten times worse. No, scratch that. The worst thing was looking out your window and seeing Deadpool sitting there like an oversized cat, eagerly asking if Peter could come out and play, and wanting nothing but to beg him to come inside and care for his sick friend-lover-vigilante partner. But how could Peter do that when they were supposed to be simply fucking for stress relief, not actually stick around for the truly intimate parts?"
Good Enough (To Be Good To Yourself) by jackmischief
Explicit. 221,082 words. Content warning, read tags and chapter notes. "Peter meets Deadpool when heâs in his civvies, and has the good fortune of remaining unrecognized.

Spider2703 by kingdomclouds
Explicit. 31,166 words. Warning for graphic depictions of violence. Content warning for brainwashed/tortured Peter. There is a sequel. ""When did they get you?" "I was- Peter Parker was 16 when he went missing. Spider turned 24 when he was born." The words come out robotic, practice making the sentence flow quickly and easily. Wade's hand tightens on his neck before it loosens and let's go completely. "So your name is Peter?" Spider shakes his head harshly and pretends his eyes aren't watering- soldiers don't cry. Wade keeps his grip tight on his jaw, ignoring the mess of venom getting all over his palms. "My name is Spider, serial number 2703." "They've really got you brainwashed, haven't they?" "I'm not brainwashed. Spider is my name. Peter Parker doesn't exist." Spider looks away from Wade's gaze- he can't help it. Those eyes can see right through him. --- Or; Peter was apart of the Weapon X program, like Wade- except he never left."
Medium Rare by MargaretKire
Explicit. 24,562 words. Vampire au. Content warning for everything (spidery) vampirism entails. "Peter just can't get full lately. He eats and eats, but he's constantly exhausted and hungry.

So No One Told You Life Was Gonna Be This Way by Jenetica
Explicit. 32,894 words. Content warning, see tags and chapter descriptions. "Peter Parker's life doesn't need an influx of new, distinctly spidery Spider-Man powers. He would gladly spend the rest of his days not creating tiny spiders from nowhere, for example. Like, in a, "yes please, I'll take two orders of the 'no spider-parenthood lifestyle,' hold the whip" kind of way. And that's only the start of how certifiably nuts his life has gotten lately. But... okay, the spiders are pretty cute. And the other powers, well, aren't horrible. He supposes. And if Deadpool seems to think his new spidery skills are great and interesting and hot (which is weird, but not as objectionable as Peter would expect), that's... that's not so horrible, either. Alternatively: Peter's powers are a joke, he's broke, and his love life... isn't all that DOA."
Tiny Entanglements by MargaretKire
Explicit. 6,875 words. Content warning, see tags. More Spiders-Man then Spider-Man. "Spider-Man has some hidden desires. So does Deadpool. Things get complicated when Morbius claims to have a cure for Peterâs âimpureâ DNA. Or: Three thousand spiders in a suit fall in love with Wade Wilson. Featuring: Spider interludes"
Weaver of Silk and Dreams by a_stands_for
Mature with explicit chapter. 73,831 words. More ships with Peter than spideypool, see tags. "Some alternate realities are unrecognizable, and some are indistinguishable.

Still, he's determined to forge a new path and make the best of it. Sometimes "the friends we made along the way" really is the greatest treasure anyone could ask for."
Strange by smellslikecitrus
Mature with explicit chapter. 34,900 words. Fairy au. "Peter was just trying his best, as a spider fairy would do. Wade stole Ant-Man's suit during a week-long mission in Massachusetts, deciding to see just how big the forest looks at ground height. Wade accidentally discovers fae creatures in said forest. Cue the title."
He is Soundless From Afar. by elastic honey (infernoconcealed)
Explicit. 15,961 words. Content warning, see tags. "Three part story. 100% based on teamup comics. Every time Deadpools wants to kiss him, Peter's spideysense starts going off. He should hate Wade for killing him. He should swing away and never see him again after what he did. Instead, he starts getting drunk off the feeling."
atlas by a_cry_in_the_wilderness
Explicit. 3,143 words. Warning for graphic depictions of violence. Content warning, see tags. "The first time that Wade tells Spider-man that heâs beautiful, the hero laughs in a way that makes Wade realize that thereâs a wound that heâs accidentally brushed against. Itâs too late to stop the bleeding, but he tries to compress it anyway. Peter Parker alludes to not looking how Wade expects underneath the mask leading Wade down a spiral reflecting on his own insecurities and expectations."
Cicatrices by WaterMe

Red Hood: Lost Days Learning what happens to Jason in the few years after he crawls out of his grave, and when he makes his reveal in Gotham, and why he is and will always be a hero first.
Mirror 'Verse, The Flash Several issues of Leonard Snart saving Wally's ass then stomping around being grumpy because he wants to play with Barry instead.
How Kon el Got His Groove Back thru Malice In Wonderland Superboy. Kon learning what it's like being a regular kid despite his powers, while also not exactly coping with depression or the fact that he's definitely got it down bad for Bart.
Most Wanted, Outsiders Dark as fuck, deals with child abuse, sex trafficking, and abduction. It fleshes out Grace Choi's history, shows the risks involved with having a public identity as a superhero, and was the final nail in the coffin for my absolute loathing of Oliver Queen.
Sins of Youth This arc and its tie ins has everything- De-aged Clark and Bruce throwing tantrums at each other. Kyle Rayner changing his costume in every. Single. Panel. Teenaged Wally and Arthur both being the horniest fifteen year olds on the planet (Oh, by the way, it's also Wally's honeymoon!). The JLA as toddlers. Klarion bum bum BUMMMMM The Witch-Boy. The origin of straight edge Timmy.
Bonus: It's a single issue instead of an arc, but Young Justice: Unstrung is so amazing.
Dean being the one to point the gun at Jack. Being the Abraham father figure???? Insane. Cas loved him no matter what. Sam always saw him as useful. But Dean saw himself being in the position John was in when he told Dean to kill Sam if he turned evil. Genuinely thinking that your son, whom you love so much, has truly turned dark side. Killed your mother in seeming cold blood. And then to stand there, have him look you in the face and submit as you point a gun at his head, knowing it will physically kill you too. God itâs so fucked. And if Jack had tried to fight him, he would have killed him too. But he didnât and Dean couldnât look Jack in the eyes and see the evil he had conjured up in his mind cause it wasnât there, it was just the little kid in big kid clothing that he had grown to love. Fucking hell
little kid in big kid clothing OUGH im sick. the realization the winchesters both had when he said he was ID'd for beer. dean literally had a 1000 yd stare for a sec. screaming and crying
