continuing my love for aroace Ryland Grace, I enjoy imagining his dynamic with Rocky and Adrian as a third wheeler with two friends in a relationship who treat him like a semi-son. like this. he's 100% a designated backseat princess.
I propose reusing the chest harness to hold a protective cover over Simon's shoulder, and Rocky proposes that Simon stop distracting Grace from the important repair job that is only accessible by squishy human body.
Was inspired by the wonderful post by @hailed-marys so me and @sam-i-am-27 got possessed by the demons and came out with this.
HC list under the cut
* Astrophage is more like a virus that either alters people, causing them to commit crimes or violent acts, or a power that supervillains are starting to use.
* Grace is still a middle school teacher who got bitten by the spider, obviously.
* Adrian is the one who stitched up the suit (the Aunt May of this universe).
* He has all the perks of a normal Spider-Man, but he's still Grace, so he's incredibly clumsy. He does have a super-strong spider sense, and that's what saves him 100% of the time, but he absolutely does not have the agility. When adrenaline kicks in, he can do anything, but otherwise he'll trip over the most ridiculous things.
* He was wearing his yellow raincoat the first time he saved someone, so now he wears it over his suit (along with his white Converse).
* The spider was discovered by SHIELD (which is undercover as a scientific research facility that Grace works for part-time). After the original test subjects (who were only able to survive the spider mutations if they possessed a specific gene) were killed in an attack, Eva delivered the spider to Grace so he could be bitten before other villains got their hands on that power. (My boy gets unwillingly turned into a savior in every universe.)
* Simon is still an ex-convict who, in exchange for his freedom, is asked by the evil company of the day to test a series of mines infected by what appears to be blood from a meteorite (which eventually turns out to be the symbiote Ellie!).
* At first, they wanted to kill each other, but they end up becoming besties.
Another thing I need you all to know is whenever book!Driver takes down the men who get sent to kill him, he puts a coupon for Nino's pizzeria on their body, and towards the end of the book he breaks into Bernie's car and leaves one on the dashboard with a smiley face drawn on it. And THEN he leaves a menu for every single pizzeria in the tri-state area on Bernie's doorstep with the "We Deliver" circled on each one of them. Bernie eventually finds this funny, after he gets over the "oh brother, this guy stinks" phase of being threatened by an actual weirdo
