Some SpiderTiger headcanons? I love this ship

I love them, but I love teenage drama even more so:

surprise, their relationship is messyyy, its never ending cycle of emotional vulnerability after missions, accidental intimacy, panic and then arguing the next day like nothing happened

Ava is the first person who notices Peter s insomnia, he will stay awake in common room at 3AM editing footage, fixing web shooters, doomscrolling conspiracy forums, pretending he is fine, she starts silently sitting with him without saying anything, just reading something, sometimes they fall asleep on opposite sides of the couch (they are both night owls)

I really hate to write this bud Ava is never Peters first choice, in my head canon his fist girlfriend is Felicia, but his fist and only love is MJ, so its puts Ava in really painful place where she realizes she is not the one that Peter will choose in the end and it takes her lot of time to heal from that

but I think there is point at time where Peter is honestly interected in Ava... Peter eventually confesses his feelings, but not romantically, it happens during brutal argument after mission goes wrong, something like “you know what my problem is? every time you get hurt I stop thinking straight.”

Ava s version of affection is intensely physical but understated, like fixing his mask without asking, pulling him behind her during fights, resting her forehead against his for a second during late night talks, stealing his hoodies and denying it aggressively

the team slowly gets exhausted by the unresolved tension lol, Luke keeps trying to force them to talk things out, for the teams sake, Ava threatens to punch him if he mentions talking about feelings again

this is how they actually talk about feelings btw:

Peter Parker — POV: Realization

Peter Parker had faced supervillains, extradimensional anomalies, and one extremely uncomfortable dinner with Reed Richards where he spilled soda on the lab console.

None of that prepared him for the way Ava Ayala said his name.

Not shouted. Not annoyed. Just… “Peter.”

Like it mattered.

He noticed it during something stupid—sitting on a rooftop, legs dangling over the edge, city humming beneath them. Ava was talking about her training, about how her dad never said “I’m proud of you” but always showed it anyway. Peter nodded, listening, like he always did.

And then she laughed. Peter missed half of what she said after that. It hit him all at once, like webbing snapping tight.

He noticed the way Ava always stood a little closer than necessary. The way she checked his hands after a fight—even when he said he was fine. The way she waited for him, like she already knew he’d come back.

Oh.

That wasn’t just friendship.

That was… something else.

He tried to logic it away. He was good at that.

Ava was brave. Of course he admired her. Ava was funny. Of course he liked being around her. Ava was smart, kind, and somehow always saw through his worst lies.

Still normal, he told himself.

Then she handed him a bottle of water without asking, already unscrewed because she knew his hands were shaking.

Peter froze.

No one ever noticed that.

Not his teachers. Not even his parents sometimes.

Ava did.

And suddenly, the idea of her getting hurt—of someone else hurting her—made his chest tighten in a way that had nothing to do with Spider-Man instincts. That scared him.

Later that night, swinging home, Peter misjudged a landing and smacked into a wall. He laughed it off. Then stopped laughing. Because all he could think about was Ava rolling her eyes and saying, “You okay, genius?” with that soft edge she tried to hide.

He realized something worse than liking her. He trusted her. Not just with homework or secrets or jokes. With himself. The messy parts. The tired parts. The parts that didn’t feel heroic at all. That’s not what ‘just a friend’ feels like, he thought. Peter lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, mask folded neatly on his desk.

He thought about telling her. He thought about not telling her. He thought about how unfair it was to want something normal when his life was anything but.

And then he thought about how Ava believed in him—without knowing the mask, without needing proof. That decided it.

He didn’t know when. He didn’t know how.

But he knew one thing with terrifying clarity:

Ava Ayala wasn’t just his friend.

She was the person who made him want to come home alive.

And for Peter Parker, that meant everything.

Continued Timeline: Teenage Years & the Rise of Heroes

9. Masks and Growing Pains (Ages 14–15)

Peter officially becomes Spider-Man, operating quietly at first—late nights, scraped knuckles, and improvised excuses.

Richard and Mary Parker sense the danger but trust Peter’s judgment, setting firm boundaries: school comes first, secrecy second, survival always.

Ava begins training more seriously under Hector Ayala, learning discipline, patience, and the weight of legacy.

Though neither reveals their double lives, Peter and Ava keep running into each other at the edges of danger—close calls, shared glances, unspoken understanding.

10. The Fantastic Four Step In (Age 15)

Reed Richards confirms Peter’s abilities and helps him refine his web-shooters and suit stabilization.

Sue Storm quietly reinforces Peter’s emotional well-being, reminding him he’s still allowed to be a teenager.

Ava notices Peter becoming more tired, more distant—and more determined.

Her admiration deepens into something warmer, more personal.

11. Ava Becomes the White Tiger (Age 15–16)

Ava inherits the White Tiger amulet, stepping fully into her role as a hero-in-training.

Peter is one of the first civilians she saves during a street-level incident—though neither realizes who the other truly is.

Their banter sharpens, their trust grows. They begin relying on each other in subtle ways: study sessions, late-night texts, shared silence.

Ava starts to suspect Peter might be more than he lets on… and finds that she likes the mystery.

12. First Cracks in the Armor (Age 16)

Peter’s responsibilities intensify; the cost of being Spider-Man becomes clearer.

Ava sees the toll heroism takes and struggles with fear—fear of losing him, fear of becoming him.

Uncle Ben notices Peter’s exhaustion and reminds him: “You don’t have to carry it alone.”

Ava becomes one of the few people Peter relaxes around, even when everything else feels like it’s burning.

13. Almost Knowing (Age 16–17)

Near-misses pile up: Ava spots Spider-Man’s body language and swears it looks like Peter. Peter recognizes White Tiger’s fighting style from Ava’s training stories.

Neither confronts the truth yet—some part of them wants to preserve the innocence of not knowing.

Ava’s crush matures into something steady and real. She doesn’t idolize Peter anymore—she worries about him.

14. The Future Takes Shape (Age 17)

Peter stands on the threshold of becoming a public hero.

Ava balances legacy and independence, determined to define White Tiger on her own terms.

Whatever comes next, they are no longer just kids watching heroes from afar.

They are becoming legends—together or apart.

Ava Ayala — POV: The Early Crush

Ava Ayala knew she was in trouble the moment Peter Parker smiled at her like he didn’t realize how dangerous that was.

He was awkward. Too polite. Always apologizing for things that weren’t his fault. And somehow… always listening.

She didn’t tell her dad. She told Angela.

Angela Ayala (Older Sister)

Angela leaned against Ava’s doorframe, arms crossed, unimpressed.

“So,” Angela said, “let me guess. Skinny. Smart. Definitely gonna get you killed emotionally.”

Ava groaned. “He is not skinny. He’s just… lean. And smart. And kind. And—okay, yeah, probably emotionally dangerous.”

Angela smirked. “You’re smiling like an idiot.”

Ava threw a pillow at her. It didn’t help.

Awilda Ayala (Younger Sister)

Awilda was worse.

“Is this the boy you stare at like he’s a math problem you wanna marry?” Awilda asked, hugging Melvin.

Ava sputtered. “I do not stare!”

Awilda nodded knowingly. “You do. And you sigh. A lot.”

Traitor.

Melvin the White Tiger

At night, when the house was quiet, Ava whispered to Melvin, her stuffed white tiger with one crooked ear.

“I think he’s special,” she said softly. “He tries so hard to be good. Like… it hurts him when he can’t help everyone.”

Melvin, ever the confidant, said nothing.

Ava hugged him tighter.

“I don’t even care if he likes me back,” she admitted. “I just want him to be okay.”

That was the scariest part.

What Ava Doesn’t Say (Yet)

She doesn’t say that Peter makes her want to be braver. She doesn’t say that when he laughs, the world feels lighter. She doesn’t say that some part of her already knows their lives are going to collide in ways neither of them can avoid.

For now, she just likes him.

And that’s enough.

A Linear Timeline: Peter Parker’s Early Years

1. The Parker Household (Ages 5–10)

Peter Parker grows up with Richard and Mary Parker, both alive and deeply involved in his life.

His home is warm, intellectually curious, and quietly principled—science books on shelves, dinner-table debates about ethics and responsibility.

Aunt May and Uncle Ben are frequent presences, acting as emotional anchors and extended family rather than surrogate parents.

Uncle Ben’s philosophy—“Doing the right thing matters, even when no one’s watching”—takes root early in Peter.

2. First Brushes with the Extraordinary (Age 10–11)

Through Richard Parker’s scientific work, Peter is introduced—at a safe distance—to the Fantastic Four.

Reed Richards notices Peter’s curiosity and encourages it, answering his questions seriously instead of talking down to him.

Johnny Storm becomes Peter’s first “cool superhero” influence, while Sue Storm models compassion paired with strength.

These encounters plant the idea that brilliance and heroism can coexist.

3. The Spider Bite & Quiet Awakening (Age 12)

Peter gains his powers, but the reveal is slow and confusing rather than explosive.

His parents notice changes—reflexes, intelligence spikes, strange bruises—but choose patience over panic.

Uncle Ben gives Peter one of his most formative talks about choice, not power—words Peter won’t fully understand until later.

4. Meeting Hector Ayala (White Tiger) (Age 12)

During a low-level street incident involving enhanced criminals, Peter crosses paths with Hector Ayala, a grounded, principled vigilante operating far from cosmic headlines.

Hector sees something familiar in Peter: intelligence mixed with uncertainty.

Rather than interrogate or warn him off, Hector treats Peter with respect—an interaction that sticks with the boy.

5. Enter Ava Ayala (Age 12–13)

Peter meets Ava Ayala, Hector’s daughter, during a casual, non-heroic moment—waiting around while their parents talk.

Ava is confident, sharp, and observant, immediately clocking that Peter is hiding something.

She finds his awkwardness endearing, his intelligence impressive, and his kindness genuine.

Peter, meanwhile, is completely oblivious.

6. Ava’s Crush Begins (Age 13)

Ava starts seeking reasons to be around Peter—asking about science, teasing him about his nervous rambling, defending him when others underestimate him.

She notices how Peter always puts others first, even when it costs him.

While she doesn’t yet know he’s Spider-Man, she senses he’s meant for something bigger.

Peter just thinks Ava is “really cool” and doesn’t realize she’s developing feelings.

7. Worlds Quietly Align (Age 13–14)

Peter’s life stabilizes into a strange balance:

Family (Richard, Mary, May, Ben) keep him human

Mentors (Fantastic Four, Hector Ayala) shape his ethics

Peers (Ava) remind him he’s still a kid

Ava becomes one of the few people who sees Peter not as a genius or a future hero—but as Peter.

8. The Seed of Responsibility

Though tragedy has not yet struck, the lesson is already there:

Power without empathy is hollow

Intelligence without compassion is dangerous

And connection—to family, to community—matters

Ava’s quiet belief in him becomes an emotional throughline Peter will carry forward, long before either of them understands what the future holds.

Closing Note

This timeline frames Peter Parker not as a lonely accident waiting to happen, but as a deeply loved, thoughtfully guided young hero-in-the-making, with Ava Ayala as one of his earliest emotional touchstones—someone who sees his heart before the mask ever comes on.

Do not repost my art

[lolabearwrites]

soo yeah, I drew all my OTP's (Atleast the ones I could fit 😅)

[ninjaboy13779546]

Peter: “Hey, Ava, what’s the sound you make when you cheer?

Ava: “....‘Whoo!’”

Peter: “And how do some people say ‘alright’ without using all of the syllables?”

Ava: “... ‘Aight.’”

Peter: “Good. Ok, now what’s the thing men put around their neck with a suit?”

Ava: “A tie?”

Peter: “Ok, and what sound does a dog make when it’s mad?”

Ava: “..‘Grrrr.’”

Peter: “Ok, now put all of those together, and what do they say?”

Ava: “.......... ‘Whoo Aight Tie Grrr’......OMG!! White Tiger!”(laughs)

Peter: “See what I did there?”(laughs too)

Ava: “Smooth, Parker. Real smooth.”

[chalantness]

how abooout peter and ava, far from home headcanons? oooh, or maybe even right before far from home and that’s where they meet and 👀👀

OH my gosh, do you remember how I decided that in an alternate MCU timeline Ava Ayala is actually in Wakanda after being rescued and brought back as a little girl, but since she also possessed the White Tiger amulet, the royal family took her in and she unofficially became T’challa and Shuri’s sister and was taken under T’challa’s wing to train as the White Tiger? Because I can totally imagine Ava and Peter meeting in this version of Ava Ayala being in the MCU because T’challa appoints Shuri as head of the science and tech division of the Wakandan outreach program, and of course Shuri insists that Ava comes with her as “protection” and T’challa lets it slide because he knows those two are hard to separate, anyway - and because of course, since Tony Stark would be involved with helping the program off of its feet because T’challa asked, that means he’d get Peter Parker involved, too, because the kid would love it, and this is how Peter and Ava officially meet. Maybe Shuri and Peter have met a few times before this as Tony helped T’challa and Nakia get the American outreach program up and running, and Shuri totally wanted Peter and Ava to meet, which is the main reason she insisted that Ava come along with her to America. 

AH!

Okay, sorry, I totally came up with something that had nothing to do with what you mentioned, but I just love this version of “Ava Ayala in the MCU”!
