Im fresh from ao3 and i was wondering if you'll continue the fic Welcome To Mysterio's Marvelous Multiverse. I just love it you got the characters perfect in it

Hi! Thank you so much for reading, and for popping over to ask about it! 

Truth is, I never intended to take such a big break from it, but it has been a year and for some reason that fic has just been like beating my head against a brick wall the whole time. The amount of times I received lovely comments from readers, or completely unprompted tried to pick back up the thread of the story, I cannot tell you.  Good news is, I don’t intend to abandon it. I actually have the conclusion and epilogue already written. Just not the next two chapters. I’ve just started trying to write the last two chapters backwards, in the notes section of my phone, so that’s where I’m at with that. 

I can’t make any promises, but please subscribe to the work, and I’ll do my best to get back to it sooner rather than later 💌

Is it that time again?

There are SO many scenes I could mention because every word of your work is stunning and full of heart!! BUT that scene from WtMMM where Peter bolts out into the rain and Pepper follows, but Tony only comes forward with Peter's permission always gets me. It's so soft and so sad and every time I reread it, I'm hit with both the warm fuzzies from how deeply Tony cares and the PAIN of all the underlying tension that's going on with the plot at that point! ~friendlyneighborhoodsecretary

Oh I love that scene from Welcome to Mysterio's Marvelous Multiverse too, the rain, and the final line.

Tony is so soft and respectful of Peter's space.

Thanks so much @friendlyneighborhoodsecretary

'“Aunt May’s been getting into sustainability, cooking with cricket flour, that kind of thing. You ate banana bread made from it Happy.” Peter jabs a finger at him. “And you, he, said he liked it, the traitor. Now she makes it all the time.”' --from WtMMM for the commentary thing? Because I think about that a lot and would LOVE to hear about the circumstances surrounding it!!!

Haha oh man.

So I actually ate crickets earlier this year, fried with a chilli lime seasoning. But cricket flour was at the supermarket not long before I wrote that chapter, and I know everyone always jokes about Aunt May's cooking, but true fact insects are really, really high in protein, and spider teens need good protein.

I can't quite decide if it was a genuine effort on May's part, or a troll. Knowing her sense of humour, probably a troll.

But you know that Happy would definitely be enthusiastic about May's cooking when she makes the effort, and as (punishment) she's still cooking with it.

I love the idea of Happy and Peter making faces at each other across the table, each trying to bait the other into telling May that her cricket based baking is kind of gross. And both ending up with an extra serves instead.

Argh! I'd been saving 'Welcome To Mysterio's Marvelous Multiverse' until it was done, but I caved and binged the WIP in one sitting. WOW it's so good; YOU'RE so good!! So many lovely little treats and turns. Tiny weeny bit surprised you didn't plump for the high angst potential of interrupting the final exchange after Peter clarifies they're not related. But I'm so intrigued with what you're planning for the concluding chapters!! I can't wait for your next update!!

Hey!

Wow thank you so much for your lovely comment and for reaching out to let me know!!

I debated how the "reveal" would land, but I don't necessarily want to create drama just for the sake of it, and while Not-Tony can be selfish I think he retains the same qualities with real Tony in terms of found family building...(also I had plenty of drama coming up about six sentences later!!) He's plenty angsty about it anyway. Can you believe this story was supposed to be a light hearted romp when I started chapter 1?

The final three chapters are coming, not too far off now, so the wait won't be long promise!!

Ch 22- In the aftermath!

*disclaimer: not the actual title of the chapter Chapter 22 is up, and if I do say so myself it is jampacked with plot related goodness, so anyone wondering how Not-Tony is coping with it all...read on

“Beck knew.” Tony says. “He redirected the rift.” It was a trap. He adds silently, thinking of the chain fading, the blast of a horn, Peter, standing on the railway tracks, eyes wide- “Make another one.” Pepper interrupts his spiral. “What?” “Make another one. Build it again. Cut a slice through every universe until you find him.” Pepper insists. The train rushes past, empty space where Peter’s body had been. “It’s over Pepper.” Tony says. “It’s over.” “Anthony Edward Stark.” Pepper says. “It’s over when I say it’s over. And it is not over.”

It’s not over. Tony tries to tell himself. It is not over.

Ch 21-Back to reality...

Sorry for the delay, real life caught up with me, but chapter 21 of Welcome to Mysterio’s Marvelous Multiverse is up! And it’s kind of whumpy, so read the disclaimers please!

“No!” He wiggles some more. “What are you giving me?”

“For sleeping.” The lady holding him down responds.

“No. I gotta- gotta fight.” Peter gasps.

“You did fight. With a train.” She nods towards his body. “You lost.”

First Paragraph Meme Spider-Man

Thanks for tagging me @friendlyneighborhoodsecretary ! Although my first thought was, y’all have six SM works on the go??? So I’m going to split this post between fandoms, and not necessarily the first paragraph as some aren’t there yet...

“Post the first paragraph of your last six ongoing projects, then tag six people.” 

Welcome to Mysterio’s Marvelous Multiverse- Ch 21- Berlin, Germany

Peter’s pulled into existence by the wheeze of stale air being forced into his lungs. He bolts upright, lashing out. The world is just vague impressions. White shelving crowding in on him. Cold air nipping at his bare skin. Deep pain in his left hip. The need to cough.

Peter Parker to the Principal’s Office Please- Ch 4-You spin me right round

Groupchat: The Daily … Cobwell: Can I give a student detention for puking? K. Warren: No! Send them to the nurse!! Dells: Depends who it was Cobwell: What if I just said -stop spinning you’re going to make yourself puke-

The Wall (one shot? upcoming?)

May likes the wall. Happy thinks of her in her white sundress, looking like a vintage Polaroid, cheek resting against the black granite and her fingers reverently tracing the silver name. May believes in the broader cosmos, in the flows and ebbs of life, and the importance of her nephew being there. PETER PARKER, permanently etched, a single drop of water in the deep and swift river of universal grief.  Tony doesn’t agree. 

I think all my spider-man writer mutuals have been tagged already!!
