Hello everyone! Do you love Peter Parker? Do you love Ned Leeds? Do you especially love them being together? Then oh boy do we have something for you!
Beginning October 17th, this blog will be hosting a prompt fueled week of MCU PeterNed aka Interwebs content. Given how barebones the tags are, let’s show the pairing seven full days of love (as it deserves).
All forms of creativity will be welcomed! Fics, edits, art, playlists, moodboards, and everything in between!
An AO3 collection will be available.
Please follow us and the tag ‘interwebsweek2021′ for upcoming announcements for rules and prompts that is later to come!
It’s a working plan, something he has been planning since he first realized he liked Ned more than as a best friend.
Step one: invite Ned over to his house. Which isn’t something abnormal so it won’t be weird. Ned comes over all the time.
Step two: they go to Peter’s room to play video games. Again, it isn’t out of the ordinary. There they can talk in a familiar environment while engaging in a hobby he knows Ned enjoys.
Step three: relax and talk. Peter is confident this will be the easiest step of all.
Step four: set up for confessing his feelings to Ned. Start slow so Ned isn’t suspicious but also so the actual confession will not be too weird.
Step five: if step five goes well, confess his feelings.
Step six: …. Well he isn’t sure what this step will be. The internet gives vague and wild suggestions, like a kiss or planning their first date.
It's a working plan.
Thus far, they are in the early stages of step four.
They were taking a break to eat some pizza Ben brought. Left 4 Dead is paused on the old TV set Peter and his uncle managed to salvage from the dumpster. It’s a little old and the colors don’t work, but it works enough to play games on. Conversation is flowing smoothly - in Peter’s opinion - and everything is so far working very well.
"So, are you going to take anyone to Homecoming?" Ned asks.
Peter feels those infamous butterflies flying around in his stomach. Homecoming! Why hadn't he thought of that? "I don't know," he replies with a shrug. Be cool, Parker. You got this. "How about you?"
His palms are sweaty. He feels giddy and nervous and excited all at once. It's the perfect set up! Ned will say he doesn't have anyone to go with and then Peter will suggest they go together. And then he can tell Ned how he feels. Perfect!
"Yeah, maybe." Ned says, taking a drink of soda. "I just haven't asked them yet."
Okay maybe not perfect. The exact opposite of perfect.
"Oh." Is all Peter can say. The butterflies are gone. He doesn't feel nervous anymore, just… disappointed. "You should ask them. You know, before they go with someone else."
Ned shrugs his shoulders. "Yeah, but I just don't know how to yet. I mean, what if they say no?"
"Then they aren't worth your time." Peter says with more confidence than he feels. He doesn't want Ned to go with anyone else to the dance, he wants to go with Ned. But Ned's also his best friend and, if he wants to go with someone else, then Peter has to support him.
Even if it does suck.
"I mean," Peter adjusts his glasses as he continues. "You're super cool and awesome and anyone would be crazy to not want to go with you. You're like the nicest guys in school. They'd have to say yes."
"Really?"
Peter nods. "Yeah."
Ned then smiles (he's really cute when he does that) and asks, "So, do you want to go?"
…
What?
"What?" Peter says aloud.
Ned shifts in his place next to him. Uncrosses his legs and crosses them again. "Do you want to go with me to, uh, to the dance?"
Again - what?
Suddenly Peter's mouth feels dry. "Like, as a friend or…?"
"Like, together together." Ned clarifies. His eyes finally meet Peter's and oh, those butterflies are back. "I really like you, Peter."
"Like… like like?"
Ned huffs a laugh and nods, "Yeah. Like, you're my best friend, but I think I like you more than that." He says as his hand slides across the carpet space between them to touch Peter's.
Peter feels like his brain short circuits. All that planning, all the research, gone! And who needs it? Ned likes him!
"I like you too." Peter says with a grin. Their fingers entwine, the touch sending little sparks through him and Peter swears his heart did a backflip. He leans forward, heart racing, and quickly pecks Ned's lips with a kiss. It's only when he pulls back does he realize fully what he just did and Ned, staring wide eyed in shock? Surprise? Peter's confidence falters. Step six is a mistake.
Yet, before he can begin to apologize, Ned surges forward and kisses him. It faintly tastes like pizza. The angle is all off. Their noses squish together and Peter knows his glasses will have smudges from where they're pressed against his face. But he can't find it in him to really care.
Because Ned is kissing him.
They part, both stare a little wide eyed at each other, then Ned smiles. And Peter smiles.
From the moment I leaned about @interwebsweek, I knew I wanted to participate. Ideally, I would have loved to have written something. But I just couldn't seem to get the words flowing. So, I drew some fan art instead! I hope you enjoy it!
October 21, Established Relationship: Peter and Ned celebrate pride
i finished my main @interwebsweek fic like a whole week after i meant to :)))))))) here it is:

Summary:
Miles has a goddamn problem, and no one seems to care.
He tells Ganke that he grew three whole inches in the past two weeks, and his friend only congratulates him on finally hitting a growth spurt before Miles loses him to his coding homework again. He has to try three more times to get Ganke’s attention long enough for Miles to roll his eyes at him. (Sure, growing is nice, but three inches in half a month can’t possibly be normal, right?)
He tells Sam that he’s been sticking to things accidentally, and Sam just snickers at him. “You better get ready for the origin story, Morales,” he replies. (Not helpful.)
Miles doesn’t even bother with America and Kate, because for the past few days, they’ve been completely absorbed with the newest mystery plaguing Midtown Tech.
