Spider Man Au - Blog Posts

I can't get this idea of the Marauders x Spider-Man out of my head, so I started writing a bit about the background of each of the Marauders in this AU.

So in this AU, Hogwarts is like Brooklyn Visions Academy, the only difference being that it's located in London and the students are still divided into houses, but it's more like which dormitory sector you belong to and, ultimately, they're not taken as seriously as in canon.

Peter: He's an only child, his father is a paramedic and his mother is a nurse. Due to his parents' shifts, he's somewhat used to taking care of himself. He attends Hogwarts on a scholarship, although he always struggles to maintain good grades and not lose the scholarship. He suffers quite a bit when it comes to balancing his grades and his life as Spider-Man. He's quite close to his parents and his father's death really affected him a lot. After this, he became quite close to Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick, often turning to them for advice. He's a bit afraid of Professor McGonagall.

James: Like Peter, he's an only child and his parents are quite old. Because of that, he's quite spoiled, but he adores his parents, and woe to the person who insults either of them because James Potter isn't afraid to hit someone. He's the captain of the Hogwarts hockey team. His family is extremely wealthy, so he's always attended private schools and has no problem spending money on gifts for his friends. He's Professor McGonagall's favorite, as he's the best student in his class and has ensured that Hogwarts hasn't lost a match in the last two years.

Remus: Like the other two, he's an only child. I didn't want to completely ignore Remus's lycanthropy, so I decided to make him a mutant. He can control the transformation, but it's quite difficult for him to do so during full moon nights, so he simply opts to spend them as a wolf. He still has scars, but they're from when he was attacked by Fenrir Greyback (who is also a mutant in this AU). Remus managed to defend himself, and that's when he discovered he was a mutant. Lyall Lupin has made a great effort to change his beliefs about mutants since discovering his son was one. Now he and Remus are quite close. Likewise, Remus couldn't ask for a better mother than Hope Lupin. Like Peter, he has a scholarship, and thanks to it, his family can afford to send him to a school like Hogwarts, as Lyall Lupin is a police officer and Hope Lupin works in a bookstore, so they don't have money to spare like James and Sirius.

Sirius: He's a special case. Like in canon, he didn't have a good relationship with his family. For that reason, he likes attending Hogwarts because it allows him to be away from his family for much of the year. Initially, when he and Regulus started attending Hogwarts, they were quite close, but they started to drift apart over the years. Finally, when he turned 15 (about 6 months after Peter became Spider-Man), he ran away from home and lived with the Potters for a while until his uncle Alphard Black managed to become his legal guardian. Sirius goes to therapy once a week, but he's managing quite well. Alphard is also trying to get custody of Regulus, but it's not easy, as the Black family is quite wealthy and probably has the best lawyers in England.

I've been browsing AO3 for hours and stumbled upon a few AUs where a character becomes Spider-Man. I quite enjoy these types of AUs because of the endless story possibilities, considering Spider-Man has a vast array of villains. The best ones I found were where Remus and James were Spider-Man. But I'm here to pitch an even stranger idea: what if Peter Pettigrew were Spider-Man? I mean, the guy is a coward, and I think that would make for a great story opportunity – someone as cowardly as Peter becoming Spider-Man, someone who clearly lacks a moral compass at first. And here's where I think Peter would urgently need the death of someone as significant to him as Uncle Ben was to Peter Parker. It couldn't be any of the Marauders because Peter holds them in a strange kind of pedestal, so the death of any of them might scare him more than give him the push he needs to do good.

So, hypothetically, a character not mentioned in canon could be used: Peter Pettigrew's father. Now, listen, Peter definitely wouldn't use his powers for good at first. I'd bet Peter would use them to steal some small things from stores – these kinds of things would give him some self-confidence, which we know Peter definitely lacked. So Peter's father discovers this, and he and Peter argue. Peter runs away from home, and his father goes after him (similar to what happens in Andrew Garfield's movie). Peter's father encounters the thief Peter just let go and is shot dead. Peter wants revenge because now he has these powers, and that's what he always wanted – now he's more powerful than anyone, and he wants to find the man who took his father from him.

I think his origin as Spider-Man would definitely be much more violent since it would be for entirely selfish reasons, but I also like to think that with the help of the Marauders, they could help him take a better path, especially James. I think he could definitely have a great influence on Peter's morality.

I also like to think that Peter would still be the same shy and kind boy but definitely much less willing to take any kind of mockery, especially after what happened to his father. As Spider-Man, he would be much more himself, as if wearing the mask eliminates that little fear of what others might say.

Lastly, I don't think Peter would be smart enough to create web shooters, so I actually think if I ever write this, I'd give him natural webs like Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man.

The opinions don't matter to me, but please, if you're going to spread hate about Peter Pettigrew, just don't comment. This is an AU, so we're completely taking into account the canonical personality of the character.

AAA TYY I LOVE BRAINTORMING THE AU WITH Y’ALL ITS SUPER FUN EXCEPT WE NEVER FUCKING WRITE ANYTHING—

Can I just say I love ur stories!!! And the spider man au gives me life!!!! :D

jskhdjdhdskfjfj sobbing/pos

i'm,,,so happy u like all my litol au rambles 'cause these are my biggesy brainrots which i gently hold close to my heart

also @tsumaniseawing YOU DESERVE APPRECIATION ABOUT THE SPIDER-MAN AU TOO BESTIE claps for Tsu and her big brain ideas and helping me develop the au along with @thepurplezoroark u guys r the best

sweats in only 200 words

BUT I AM WRITING

OK SO SHOUT OUT TO @niko-mesu-side-mainblog ALSO KNOWN AS @niko-mesu (IDK IF THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC ONE FOR AMPHIBIA STUFF) TY FOR FIRST TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT THIS IDEA, AND SHOUT OUT TO @alaskathelegozeldadude FOR BRAINSTORMING WITH US.

SO. HEAR ME OUT.

AMPHIBIA SPIDER-MAN AU. (i’m so sorry this was gonna be an info dump but now it’s a whole ass bare-bones fic)

Now, this is loosely based on the various Spider-Man movies and lore but,

Anne gets bitten by the spider first. She indirectly lets Sprig and Polly’s parents die (instead of herons in the show, it’s Anne’s “uncle Ben” origin story) and then takes it upon herself to stop crime. To fund her gear, she gets into journalism photography of “The Spider” at Sasha’s dad’s news company, The Daily Bugle.

Sasha doesn’t like how much time Anne dedicates to tracking down the vigilante because it means she’s always cancelling plans—not because she has a crush on Anne and doesn’t want to lose her to The Spider who obviously likes her back, what are you talking about?

So of course Sasha goes after The Spider as she flees the authorities after a battle. Y’know. To protect her friend. Yeah. Sasha realizes The Spider always knows how to avoid her, which was weird, until she looked back on footage and reports of her fights and realized she had a instinctual knowledge of her surroundings. And she gives up the chase

Until a few weeks later, when she finally understands why it all sounded so familiar. That was exactly what Oscorp was testing on a live sample before they reported it had escaped and kicked their tour group out. Once she had saturday’s afternoon free, Sasha went to their facility to “finish her tour” (cough—snoop on their projects—cOUGH).

As she neared the lab that had caused everything to shut down, she made sure to squeeze as many details out of the tour guide as she could. Apparently, her father’s no-isn’t-an-answer demeanor paid off, since their tour time ran out before they could move past the spider lab.

Sasha, content with the outcome, headed home without a glance back. Until something bit her. She then went through a horrible fever and woke up the next day with spider powers.

Welp. Time to be a superhero. (Definitely not to meaningfully threaten The Spider to stay away from Anne.)

(And definitely not to make Anne like her, Silkrider, more than The Spider.)

Marcy was concerned about her friends. They both had panic attacks in the cafeteria—she lent them her noise cancelling headphones before they could spiral too far—and they’ve been constantly on edge even in the quietest of classrooms. Marcy made sure to eat outside, bring extra fidgets and gift them a pair of her headphones to help them feel at ease. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder what changed their behavior.

Now, despite what everyone believes, Marcy can be very observant of her surroundings when she wants to be. So when Anne and Sasha start pushing their dorm curfew to barely minutes before lights out, Marcy took note. Even when they’re back early, they shut themselves in their rooms for hours on end. Still, not terrible. And then they started limping. Not for long, and not concerningly frequent, but enough to make Marcy worried.

Marcy let everything slide for a few months until that one night she heard multiple crashes and curses from Anne’s room. She finally confronted Anne, ready to yell at her to stop going outside and doing whatever it was that hurts her—but then realized Anne was bleeding. Anne made some (admittedly weak) excuse about getting too close when photographing The Spider. Marcy sighed and started to bring out the first aid kit.

From then on, Marcy used her father’s money and inventions to help supply them with tools to keep them safe. She even tried to tag along and be another pair of eyes, but any time a battle would break out, she’d lose her friends in the commotion. It was fine, they always came back to the dorm—even if some days it was with a black eye instead of photographs.

And then it wasn’t fine. This attack was much bigger than usual. The entire city was being torn apart block by block. Marcy tried to look for her friends in the chaos, but they had dissapeared again. Just as she thought she might be too close to the danger zone, she felt a sharp, overwhelming pain and immediately passed out.

As the battle ended, The Spider and Silkrider went through the fallen buildings, trying to hear for any heartbeats of trapped civilians. Both of them zeroed in on an incredibly faint one near the edge of the rubble. They called the paramedics over, but a large figure got to them first. It was Marcy’s father, Andrias.

He immediately took her to his laboratory, knowing this was the only chance they had. He quickly opened the canister to the symbiote, The Night. After some quick negotiation, The Night fused with Marcy, and her vitals stabilized. It was experimental, but it saved her life. Her wristband vitals tracker (initially for panic attacks) had alerted him that she was in danger, and he had gotten there just in time.

As Marcy woke up, she was immediately tackled by Sasha and Anne. They sat and cried and promised to never get into danger ever again. Once they left for the night, her father came in and explained what he had done to save her. The Night finally made himself known, effectively making Marcy go into an hour long Q&A session before having a breakdown over sharing everything about her life with another conciousness.

In the end, the two of them made an arrangement and lived fairly peacefully.

Until The Night posessed her after curfew to follow “the bushy-haired roommate” as she snuck out of the window. Since they were bonded forever, Marcy agreed to occasional nighttime possessions as long as she wasn’t woken up. She was woken up.

Although she shouldn’t spy on one of her her best friends, it’s a little too late now. Marcy stopped outside the alleyway and waited for Anne to start negotiating an illegal dealing or information leak, but she was surprisingly quiet. Until The Spider leaped out and started to swing through the city.

Huh.

That’s,, not what she was expecting.

But, looking back, it makes so much more sense.

Afterwards, Marcy quickly connected that Sasha was Silkrider. Now, Marcy wasn’t bitten by a radioactive spider, but she does have a very cool symbiote that basically works as a superhero origin so why not.

The two of them started training to work as a singular entity, and then went out on the streets. Due to their short fusion duration, they stuck to quick patrols and dissapeared as soon as the job was done.

Which gave them a scary reputation... until The Night posessed Marcy to dumpsterdive for chicken nuggets at 3 am, got caught, hissed at the sudden light, and climbed up the wall, disappearing into the night.

Once she woke up and saw it was trending, Marcy made an amendment to their arrangement.

When they went on their next patrol, they finally introduced themselves as “Nightmare” to the spider duo in front of the press. It was... a mixed reaction. (“HOLY FUCK YOU’RE REAL??” “i don’t trust you.”)

After a while, Marcy finally got their fusion steady enough to stick around after battles. It was during this time they complained about their homework, wondering how the other two finished their physics homework on time. The Spider snorted at the thought of completing homework. Silkrider, on the other hand, froze.

She asked how Nightmare knew what class she took, and why Spider answered them so easily. The Spider then realized she never told either about her school. Nightmare sat in confusion since how would they not know they were working together? They both snuck out at the same time? They’re roommates?

Silkrider realized it first. She got up and swung away. The Spider realized right after and promptly freaked out. Nightmare felt their time was running out, so they quickly fled as well.

No one left their rooms that night. In the morning, Sasha and Anne tried ignoring each other as much as they could. Marcy finally dragged the three of them somewhere alone and talked it out, starting with how she got her powers. The others joined in with their stories and the tension was broken.

Until Anne asked why Andrias had a symbiote sitting in his lab.

Marcy... didn’t have an answer.

Sasha remembered a rejected story about military investors asking around for Oscorp superhuman rip-offs. It was too unrealistic—superheroes? really?—but looking back, she doesn’t think it’s too fictional anymore.

They set up their red string and started connecting the dots. There was too much proof to sweep this under the rug. They had to confront Andrias.

Marcy called on her father’s bodyguard, Yunan, and his secretary, Olivia, to ask if they knew anything about his latest inventions—especially about the experiment he used to save her. They reported that they didn’t actually know.

The three girls (plus The Night) decided to sneak in and find out for themselves.

They were met with Andrias’s intensive studies on the genetically enchanted spider people. And then Andrias himself. Since they broke in, he brought it upon himself to make sure they could never get out.

Marcy quickly realized he had bonded with another symbiote and warned the others. They fought as best as they could, but it was ultimately the unstable fusion between himself and his forced symbiote that led to his defeat.

Olivia had called the authorities once she heard the fight. Yunan made her way down into the labs and helped the girls get to a safe place.

In the end, Andrias regained conciousness in prison, Marcy got adopted by Olivia and Yunan, and the Spider trio continued to save New York.

And The Night finally asked why Marcy wasn’t going on dates with the other two, which led to her realizing she had crushes on both of her friends—as civilians and superheroes—so she asked both of them out ontop of the empire building. She immediately fell off once they said yes.

it is fucking 4 am. what the fuck am i doing with my life. i have school tomorrow. TODAY??? fuckin i STARTED THIS IN THE AFTERNOON WHAT

anyways i really said “wow i can’t wait to get inspiration to build for architecture or make a drawing of another AU but wait no symbiote marcy with a cape” except i never really got around to making the updated costume—

Bonus:

So we were talking about Nightmare again and how they’re not as scary as Venom (who we designed them after) in all the sketches we’ve drawn. Mostly it’s because we don’t regularly draw scary/monster images, but we also noted that Marcy is still in partial control.

(She has The Night in a chokehold.)

(A hyperfixation rambling at 3am while getting chimken nuggies chokehold.)

So The Night gives Marcy some “costume” leeway, hence the spider themed pants, and therefore the usual appearance is more humanoid and friendly.

Now, we’ve been discussing the final battle with multiple symbiotes in one fusion and how they would completely take over Andrias. And then we thought of Marcy’s fusion. What if she went out of commission and The Night had to completely take over, mentally and physically, to fight off what she couldn’t.

This all boiled down to:

Wait, in a post you said Andrias was "a shell of a father" in the end. Did you mean that metaphorically, as in he became a shell of what he once was? Or literally, as in the unstable symbiote fusion took over his body leaving just a shell, with the man behind it gone for good?

👁👁

ahahaha…..

y e a h

Ok so yknow how Miles has Extra Powers? And how Anne wouldn’t know enough about chemical reactions to safely make web fluid? (dw Anne, me too)

So hear me out:

We know two separate spiders bit Anne and Sasha, but what if their genetics were a bit more skewed than was first thought.

Anne has the “webs come out of wrist” and Miles’s camouflage/invisibility.

Sasha needs to make her own webs (thank you Marcy for creating synthetic webs during a hyperfixation) and she has Miles’s electric touch.

So what I’m getting at is,

Sasha: “if you even LOOK at Anne i’ll put fifty volts of electricity through your system”

Anne: “lmao good luck finding me”

In the spider AU I feel like king adrius (idk spell) would work better as a non blood related uncle than a father to Marcy since she already has parents and I think he would fit that role better. You could also make him saving Marcy more about the experiment than about saving her to give it that extra spice

Uhuh uhuh but have you considered:

Marcy hesitating to deal the final blow when he turns on her. Marcy remembering how he took her in, how he saved her life. Marcy putting all her trust in him—he’s her father, he wouldn’t hurt her… right?—only to see him abandon any familial bonds for power.

He takes too many unstable symbiotes into his fusion. In the end it’s not Marcy, Sasha, or Anne who defeats him. He overloaded himself.

Olivia and Yunan are there to comfort her, of course, but it’s not the same. All the time she’s known Andrias, he was happy, kind, supportive.

Now all that’s left is a shell of a father she thought she knew.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS MORE ART!! MARCY GOING FERAL WITH THE SYMBIOTE!! THE NIGHT ASKING TO EAT DOMINO 24/7 THE CHIMKEN NUGGIESSSS

Night and Marcy shenanigans....they like chimkem nuggiesss

And of course obligatory lobster tank meme

YES!! BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING! I LOVE EVERY SINGLE SKETCH HERE 10/10

TIME FOR SRT DUMP BECAUSE AU BRAINROT TOO STRONG ABOUT MINE AND @tsumaniseawing 's SPIDERMAN AU

(i just realized these are mostly marcy and night sketches....Oh Well-)

Rough sketches for symbiote marcy but here the final desing skkssk

Also side effect that Marcy now has sharp teeth after fusioning with Night

ALSO DRAWING FROM THIS SMOL ONE SHOT

gonna post more art after this lol

Since I couldn’t finish the short Marcy-centered fic before I passed out yesterday, may I present:

✨Nightmare✨

While they’re a symbiote instead of a enchanced spider person, they still take up the spider theme. However, they do share a “host body” with each other, so they compromised with splitting their conciousness—so when they’re in the superhuman state, green eyes and veins show when Marcy’s in control, while red eyes and veins show when The Night’s in control.

And ty to @niko-mesu-side-mainblog for the inspiration!! As in: you drew 4 rough sketches of symbiote Marcy and that made brain Fast Track into drawing for 8 hours

oh yes before I forget, this is how our spider frog au love pentagon (hexagon??? if you think of Nightmare as another character,,) is going—

God it’s worse than miraculous ladybug—

BESTIE U SKIPPED THE SASHANNE GAY MESS KISS FKWBXKFNCJ

ALSO PLS WHOEVER IS INTERESTED ASK ABOUT THIS AU CUZ OH BOY WE HAVE A LOT TO SAY-

PLEASE I COULDN’T FIT EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ITS BEEN 2+ HOURS OF JUST PURE WRITING

ALSO YES SASHANNE GAY MESS:

Silkrider finally warmed up to Spider after she realized the other wasn’t actually interested in dating Anne—the two met when The Spider saved Anne and she asked for a photograph, and it just escalated. The two vigilantes clarified that neither were predators, they were just trying to defend the civilian from the other’s “wrong intentions,” but it was all a misunderstanding. So with Anne safe, and the start of a new friendship with the Spider, things were looking up.

Until Anne got into danger. This journalism photography is gonna be the death of her. Silkrider saved Anne, safely dropping her down from the roof before taking care of the villain. Hah, Spider never even had the chance to show up. She went back to check on her friend and realized she was staring, jaw dropped.

Silkrider pulled her mask up to speak clearer from five stories away. She huffed and leaned on the ledge, “What? Not gonna take any amazing photos of the incredible Silkrider? Or is that honor reserved for The Spider.”

“Uh... I dropped my camera up there.”

She checked behind her—and yes, it was definitely on the roof. Damaged. “Hey—you’re Anne, right?” She called to the alleyway below.

“Yes...?”

Silkrider tethered a web to a balcony and slowly lowered herself down, holding the camera close to her chest, “Well, sorry Anne, I think the lense is broken.” She handed it over as gently as she could.

“Oh no—this was so expensive!” Anne started to freak out, “It’s not even mine! The Daily Bugle lent it to me—I can’t have broken it!”

Silkrider grabbed her shoulder, snapping her out of her rambling. “Hey, I know a place where they repair cameras like these. I could have it fixed for you—I mean, if you’re okay with that.”

Anne stared at her with wide eyes, “Uh. Yeah. I mean—yes please. Thank you.”

Silkrider gave her a small smile. Anne leaned in.

It was an awkward upside down crashing of lips, but as Anne shoved the camera into Silkweaver’s hand and ran out the alley with a very bright blush glowing on her face, Sasha could only think it was the best kiss she ever had.

OK SO SHOUT OUT TO @niko-mesu-side-mainblog ALSO KNOWN AS @niko-mesu (IDK IF THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC ONE FOR AMPHIBIA STUFF) TY FOR FIRST TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT THIS IDEA, AND SHOUT OUT TO @alaskathelegozeldadude FOR BRAINSTORMING WITH US.
