Fic Rec page dedicated to the pairing of Harley Keener and Peter Parker. Tired of searching for fics? Well, just send an ask of what kind of fic you want to read and I'll do my best to come up with a list of recs that fit under that category. Happy reading! (header by bumblebeeee and avatar by silvernyxa)
Hello to the partner fandom and to anyone who still follows this! I know I have been absent for a very long time and must unfortunately inform you that it is time to make this page permanently inactive. Life is simply too much, repeatedly, and to be honest? My anxiety and depression is whooping my ass. I have to realize that this page, which I love, is simply finished for me. It’s too much for me to run by myself and as much as I would love to leave it active, I can’t.
If anyone is looking for further recs and wants to submit a question, there is a great page I’m sure y’all know about, https://parknerficrecblog.tumblr.com/. Please go there and give them some love.
I love this fandom and I love you all so much. Please know that any recs made or not made we’re not personal. I answered the questions to the best of my ability and I hope lots of authors got to see their work recced.
Happy reading! Love,
Parknerficrecs, otherwise known as MayWilder/maywildflowers.
Looking for a Parkner fic? Need help finding one? Send a ask and we will see what we can find.
also hey, just so you know cause you linked a post that had angxlsgrxce as a well known one: Ava writes really good marvel fanfic, very good spn drabbles, and if you like that please go follow her she's a wonderful writer! But shes not really writing parkner anymore, just a heads up.
We love Ava no matter what she writes! Everybody should go check out her stuff.
hi, can i rec zachary at silver-bubbles as another author for that last ask? thompsborn (ari) is really good too
Yes you certainly can! Always feel free to drop a rec. Though it might help to specify where to find them so I can drop a link and finding them easy for everyone! I tried searching tumblr but couldn’t seem to locate their profiles.
hey im just getting into harleypeter and i was wondering if there are any need to know big authors??
I would reference this ask that was posted awhile back for a general fic rec of authors in the fandom. Honorable mention for Superstitious and MayWilder, as nominated by a close friend of mine.
And here is a post with my personal favorite stories :) some of these authors have multiple fics for this ship, and I’m a big fan of all of them.
Happy reading! Don’t forget to leave comments and kudos <3
Are there any parkner fics that guards/staff confuse either peter or harley as outsiders that are trying to get in? I swear i read a fic before but i can't find it anymore ._. Thanks again in advance!
I wish I could tell you how long I’ve been looking, but I haven’t found anything like this. Throwing it out to the readers! If you guys have heard of this fic or know what they’re talking about, please feel free to share with us!
Hey! Do you have any coffee shop aus? I’ve only found one and it wasn’t that good
i drink too much coffee and i think of you often
Peter has a penchant for using fictional character names when ordering his coffee. This is successful in getting him three things: a new friend, some anonymity, and a potential boyfriend.
Edit: Sequel/Chapter 2 now added
Honey Iced Coffee
“I don’t like coffee,” he blurts out, and the barista, Harley as his name tag reads, raises an eyebrow.
“We have tea. And smoothies. And hot chocolate, but if you order that in the middle of summer, I won’t hesitate to call the psych ward.”
“Do they even have a psych ward in Rose Hill?”
Harley smirks, and Peter’s heart rate picks up, which is stupid because, well, this whole situation is stupid if he’s being honest. He hates coffee, he’s in a coffee shop, and he has a crush on the barista, whom he’s known for all of the seven minutes he’s spent at the cash register.
Peter Parker spends a summer in Rose Hill, Tennessee. He falls in love with a person and a place, and he heals with the help of a little honey, coffee, and a honey-loving barista.
pumpkin cake pops
Jealousy, tooth-aching fluff and qui-pro-quos all crammed into one (1) coffee shop AU.
It Only Takes a Taste
Peter Parker, the genius behind Spider Bites’ amazing baked goods, also happens to deliver said baked goods to the coffee shop The Iron Mug. Harley Keener, a barista at The Iron Mug, is smitten.
Parkner Week 2019 Day Three: “Dropped My Croissant” / Baking / Non Powered AU
When The Coffee Grounds Align
Peter's been visiting a coffee shop rather regularly over the past few months, trying to build up the courage to ask the stunningly attractive barista named Harley who works in there on a date at some point.
Then Tony asks to tag along and get a look at the guy, and as it turns out, they're all a little more connected than Peter previously thought.
(Tony is very amused by this. Because Tony is an asshole)
life happens; coffee helps
“Um, name for the-for the order?”
“Harley,” he answers. “Name for the barista?”
Peter hands the card back, praying that his heartbeat can’t be heard by the other boy. “Peter.”
The smirk turns to a wide smile, and Peter falls in love.
--
Or, the coffee shop AU nobody asked for.
I struggled finding fics I enjoyed of this trope, but here are a couple! Please mind the warnings, and don’t forget to leave comments and kudos :)
Will You Still Love Me
When Peter said his best friend’s name was Harry, he certainly wasn’t expecting to be meeting Harry Osborn. Harry Osborn, handsome, home from France, billionaire. Peter could tell too, though he’d hoped that eventually Harley would be comfortable around the other boy. To be fair, everyone was a bit like that the first time they met a billionaire, but after months, Peter could still sense the venom hiding in Harley’s voice every time he talked about Harry.
Parkner Week 2020 Day 1: Time Travel AU
teetering the line on borrowed time
When Peter Parker is partnered with his ex-boyfriend, Harley Keener, for the biggest project of the semester, he learns a lot more than just AP Lit.
Complicated
"Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated...
Honestly you promised me I'm never going to find you fake it,
No, no, no..."
--
Harley becomes someone different to fit in at school. Peter is frustrated with it, but let's it go, thinking he'll stop eventually and go back to being the person he loves. Then, Harley does something unimaginable, and everything comes to a head.
Great, Cool
Peter starts to find success and Harley ends up supporting him from the sidelines until he's forgotten. But he doesn't realize that Peter feels the same way.
The way Harley remembers it, Peter just grew too big.
The way Peter remembers it, Harley just had too much passion.
Hey man! I found like one, but I was wondering if you'd seen any Queer Platonic Partnership/Relationship Parkner Fics because I found one I adored but I haven't seen any others, sadly. The one I found is called "Navigating The Absence" and it's super cute so I'd love if you can rec anymore!
I am so sorry, I couldn’t find fics with what you were looking for specifically. I did look find a couple that are centered more on Harley and Peter being friends/brothers and one or both being queer. Unfortunately, that’s all I’ve been able to find.
While we wait on more to be written, everyone please go give some love to Navigating the Absence!!
As always, be mindful of warnings and triggers, and please don’t forget to leave comments and kudos!
peter: *does a kickflip* I'm Gay
Sometime during that month, Peter decided that it was time; he was going to do it.
He was going to come out to the Avengers.
| Or: the one where Peter and Harley are best friends, Tony is trying his best, the Transvengers are a #Thing and Clint forgets to turn up his hearing aids |
I've Got You, Brother
“Harley?” Peter says. “Harley, what’s wrong with me?”
Harley comes to the sudden and blinding realization that Peter is crying. He’s somehow managed to stave off the tears throughout the entire conversation--or at least cover up the sound of them on the phone--up until now, and something about that frightens Harley to a depth he cannot understand.
The instant he says it, he hates himself to the barest fiber of his being, because that’s probably the ugliest thing he could say to his brother. And of course the instant he says it and feels it, Peter is all too understanding, all too forgiving, and that drives the loathing harder into the crack between Harley’s ribs.
“I’ll be okay,” Peter gets out in little gasps. “I promise, Harls. I’ll be okay. I’m--I’m just having a moment here.”
“Shut up, forget what I said. Cry all you want.”
--
On a bad night when he can't see past the dysphoria, Peter doesn't know who else to call except Harley. Harley may be a little lost and buried by self-loathing, but he'll be damned if he won't show just how much he loves his brother.
What are some top soulmate fics to read? I kinda am in the mood for soulmates but I can’t remember any titles.
Please be mindful of tags/triggers :) Don’t forget to leave comments and kudos!
It Only Takes A Taste
"There was one thing that Peter knew, and it was that his soulmate was trying to kill him."
Peter and Harley can taste what the other tastes and it has created a bit of an issue.
funny how the stars crossed right, 'cause we work so well, and we don't even know why
Soulmates can't lie to each other. This is kind of an issue for Peter, who has a big secret in the shape of one red and blue onsie.
for all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you
Peter has always been terrified of losing his soulmate. Harley was terrified to meet them in the first place. It takes getting to know each other for those fears to finally fall away.
Soulmate au where you and your soulmate each have half of a quote written on your skin. You can have multiple soulmates, platonic or romantic.
Words Words Words
Peter was ten when he got his words.
Peter was ten when the words that his soulmate would say appeared on his back.
Peter was ten when "like this guy; he looks like the kind of guy that can bend himself like a pretzel and get fucked into the next century" were etched into his skin.
Only A Matter Of Time
Thought-buddy.
Friend.
Secret-keeper.
Lover.
Soulmate.
For as long as they could remember, Peter and Harley had a second voice in their head to keep them company. In the years to come, neither of them could have predicted how important a role the other would play in their own lives.\
Red Spiders and Silver Bullets
There are many things in the universe that are common knowledge, no matter the language and culture - food and water are needed for survival, the sky is blue in the morning, the grass is green, everyone is born with a soulmark on their body, unique to only them, and the soulmate they are destined for.
Peter was six when he asked his Aunt May about the mark on his chest, right above his heart - a red spider, the size of his palm.
The red spider would change his life, preferably for the better.
Heart As Light As A Feather
Your wings would lead you to your soulmate. They were one of the best things in your life. Or that's what Harley thought gen was supposed to say, but his wings brought him nothing but pain.
i'm looking for something, i finally found it right here
Everybody is born with a number printed neatly on the inside of their wrists. The number is a marker, on a scale from 0 to 10, of how dangerous your soulmate is. It means different things to different people, but it is almost always a good indicator of how much damage you could do, should you choose to.
Harley is a little scared of the 8 on his wrist, but he can't wait to find his soulmate anyway.
and you have my heart and my voice and my hands
In a world where you have a countdown on your forearm leading up to the moment you kiss your soulmate for the very first time, four people struggle to accept the truth of who their soulmates are, and have to learn that the countdown is never, ever wrong.
the countdown of you and me
May says Ben had a few hours on his clock when he got shot, says that he wasn’t supposed to die until later that night, but when they reached the hospital and May held his hand, he chose to transfer his last few hours to her, instead, just to give her that little bit of extra time. Peter thinks he’s a lot like his Uncle Ben, wanting to give their soulmates more time.
But Harley isn’t stupid, and one day, he sees.
He sees the fact that Peter’s clock only gives him a few more years, sees that Peter is scheduled to die at twenty-one now, and when he realizes this, he goes stiff in shock, fingertips skating over the countdown with narrowed eyes and his mouth set in a line.Voice low and monotone, he asks, “What did you do?”
(soulmate au where you have a countdown to your own death on your wrist and you and your soulmate can transfer time to/from your clock)
just like me, they long to be
“I’m here for you,” Harley whispers to himself. He knows that his soulmate won’t hear—that’s not how their bond works. But the words help him, so maybe they’ll help his soulmate. “I promise you that I won’t leave you. You won’t leave me, so I won’t leave you.” And Harley Keener only ever makes promises that he’ll keep.
AKA the Parkner soulmates AU that I can't get out of my head
Matchmaking and Anxiety
When Abbie Keener starts at Midtown, she immediately falls in with Peter Parker and his band of soulmates. She gets along with Peter instantly, and she just knows her brother would too.
please stop playing taylor swift
People can hear the music their soulmate listens to - Peter loves pop music. Harley is a pure rock fan. It makes for an interesting answer to the question “So how did the two of you meet?”
for parkner week day two
love you (love me)
When you first lock eyes with your soulmate, time stops. When you both acknowledge it, time resumes. But what happens next is out of the universe's hands, and in yours. When Peter and Harley discover they're soulmates, it takes time to put together the broken pieces and find a love that's purely their own. Love is about choice, after all.
roses on wrists / Our Solo Hearts
Peter itched to write on his skin, reaching for a pen and scribbling down, i really love you
I love you too, Rose responded in seconds, what was that for?
Just thinking about you.
(Peter Parker-Stark loves his soulmate, his Rose. Harley Keener loves his soulmate, his Solo. They love each other but don't exactly realize it- and Tony Stark just wants them to stop being idiots.)
promises, promises, promises
“I have some news,” Peter says, arms out wide. “My soulmate is coming to New York for Christmas.”
There are several shouts of joy, and Peter ducks his head.
“Yeah, I know, it’s finally happening,” Peter giggles. “But! I have one request for you all.”
“Please state it,” Tony teases. “I’m dying to hear.”
“From now on, the family is one,” Peter says. He looks between his parents and Steve. “I know there’s discussion about the Accords popping up, and I respect that there are different opinions in this room. But we are a family. And I need us to be one, now and always. Because I promised Harley a family a long time ago, when the people who were supposed to love him kept leaving. So whatever shit is happening with the Accords? We need a peaceful solution. A good one. A compromise, or something.
“And I will do anything I can to make that happen.”

Or, 5 Times Peter Makes a Promise for his Soulmate + 1 Time His Soulmate Makes Him a Promise
good protective harley keener fics?? (maybe with bully flash or something)
Don’t forget to leave kudos and comments!
fight for you
Since Peter got his powers, he could of course take on his bullies, but it would be at the risk of revealing his secret identity. Harley sees a way around that.
5 Times Peter Fell Into A Body Of Water
and the 1 time he pulled someone out
Don’t Be on Your Own

Can you please do one where it is that peter is being bullied by flash and Harley sticks up for him and confess’s that he likes peter?
Surprise
Harley decides to surprise his boyfriend, While doing so he meets an absolute asshole.
you were my new dream (longer tangled au, but has tag “protective harley keener)
“I wanna see the lights,” Peter blurts, freezing in his steps when Beck turns on him, anger flashing in his eyes like he already knows exactly what Peter means.
“The lights?”
Peter swallows thickly, anxiety thrumming in his chest. He rubs his hands on his old paint-splattered overalls. “The floating lights. They- They go up every year on my birthday, they fill the sky. My birthday is in a few days, I want to see them up close.”
Beck’s always looked scary when he’s angry, intimidatingly taller than Peter and shoulders broad. “Are you asking me to take you out of the tower?”
Don’t fight back, he knows that much. He knows not to fight back in these kinds of arguments, and it’s normally fine. He’s okay with not asking to leave the tower, with hiding behind the brick walls and saying goodbye to his father every week or two when there’s errands he runs without Peter. But this is his eighteenth birthday watching the lanterns fill the sky through the window.
When Peter Parker gets a job working at Buzzfeed there's really only one subject he can write about: superheroes. And what superhero does he know better than everyone's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?
What he didn't expect was that everyone would think Peter's new obsession with the hero would be interpreted quite like that.
I’m submitting these because it is the best hurt/Comfort fics that I have ever read. These are the only ones where I can find this specific hurt/comfort single parents au!
