ANNOUNCING MAY MONTH 2022

May Reilly Parker is many things. A fiercely loving person. Kind. Intelligent. Protective. Badass. An aunt. A mother. A daughter. A wife. A friend. The most important person in Peter Parker’s life. But most important of all, she is her own person. 

There is so much love to be had for May across all her iterations — comics, live action movies, video games, and animated features. To celebrate this love, and the incredible person who is May Parker, we are ecstatic to announce May Month! 

What is May Month? A month devoted to loving May Parker in her entirety! May Parker month will begin on May 1st and go until May 31st, with a new prompt every day! Let us flood the tag with love for May! 

All forms of creativity are welcome! Fics, art, moodboards, playlists, edits, and anything in between! 

An AO3 collection will be available soon. 

Please follow us and the tag ‘maymonth2022’ for upcoming announcements for rules, FAQ, and prompts! 

We’re so excited to celebrate May Parker, and hope you all are too!

the seasons of my life (2/2)

“She’s going to be feeding him for at least another decade, stocking her kitchen based on the likes and dislikes of this little boy. He’ll be a teenager one day, and she’ll have to buy extra snacks. They’re going to have to pack him lunch for school. She might even have to participate in bake sales. Sure, Ben will do things, but there’s a lot that’s expected of mothers, of women - of her. Ben will be involved, but there’s a lot she’s signed on for that suddenly hits her as she looks at Peter over the breakfast table. Haircuts and grocery trips and homework help. Her and this little boy who won’t stay little forever, who won’t be this sad and shy forever. (She hopes.) She’s been a full-time aunt for less than two weeks, and she’s staring down the barrel of another 12 years, and she feels overwhelmed. And hopes it doesn’t show on her face.”

May’s journey through aunthood, or whatever this is.

For @mayparkermonth.

Complete.

from you the flowers grow

from you the flowers grow (1024 words) by notaschuyler Chapters: 1/6 Fandom: Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: May Parker (Spider-Man) & Peter Parker Characters: Peter Parker, May Parker (Spider-Man), Ben Parker Additional Tags: 5+1 Things, Fluff and Angst, eventually nwh compliant Summary: Peter looks thoughtfully back at the petals in his hand and marvels at this new knowledge. It fills him with giddiness, that his aunt’s favorite color is the same as his. He loves Aunt May. She plays with him, and she makes sure he always has a jacket when it’s cold. She gives really good hugs, and she always lets him pick an extra story to read at bedtime. And her favorite color is red, just like his. Ben smooths Peter’s hair back and wipes a smudge of leftover peanut butter sandwich crumbs from his cheek before responding, “Oh yeah, she’s always liked red. Maybe that’s where you picked it up.”   Five times Peter gives May flowers.

Hi! I really wanted to post for May month but mt school work is getting in the way I don't think I will be able to post anything until June. What should I do? Should I still tag it as MayMonth?

Hey nonnie!

You can absolutely post through June and yes, please do still the appropriates tags! And any written works will still be added to the ao3 collection!

We silly mods forgot that May = school finals so, if you're in the middle of that we wish you luck! <3

Happy Mother’s Day ft may and a small peter ❤️

For day 8 of @mayparkermonth

you hold the other line

@mayparkermonth submission: “it’s just me and you”

“Good. You’re not dead,” a familiar voice says– something that just makes Peter’s heart race.

He knows that voice, vague memories that remind him of a time and a life that wasn’t his anymore.

“I wouldn’t move too much,” the voice says, Peter’s gaze shifting from his side towards the other side of the room– blinking a few times to try and focus in on who it is, only to frown when he sees who steps into the moonlight.

Daredevil.

So cool you're doing this! Glad I came across this event

Quick question, is it okay to combine prompts?

Hello! Thank you, we’re very excited for this event and are excited to have you participate!!

Yes, it is okay to combine prompts!

[mayparkermonth]

Dumb q: are the prompts supposed to be posted on the day?

Not a dumb question at all! <3

Ideally, the prompts should be posted on the day of. So May 1st is the Childhood prompt, May 2nd is May and Ben prompt, etc etc.

But we know life happens so late submissions will be accepted.

Late posts should still be marked with whatever day/prompt they're for. Example: if you're posting on Day 7 but it's for Day 5's prompt, please state that it is for Day 5's prompt.

The FAQ's will be updated to reflect this.

There is one prompt per day of the month. We get that life happens, and while it is okay to post a specific day’s prompt late, it should be marked as the day/prompt it is for!

Also, please remember that this is an event devoted to MAY PARKER and her life. While of course, other characters in the fics may have relationships and bonds with others, the fics should be focused on May and, depending on the prompt, her relationship with other characters. 

For example: Peter Parker and Tony Stark can absolutely be a tag and a part of the fic, but should not be the center or focus of the fic.
