The Long Dark Pizza Slice of the Soul
is a Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse fanfic by the lastfrenchfry. The story is also on Archive of Our Own here.
In his middle age, Peter has tried to balance heroism, his career, his married life with Mary Jane, and pizza. But soon, Peter's quiet and exhausting mundanity will be stripped away from him. Hopefully, he can still get pizza.
The Long Dark Pizza Slice of the Soul provides examples of:
- Date Peepers: While Dan doesn’t spy on Peter’s romantic life, he’s a bit too nosy about wanting the details of Peter’s latest escapades than he ought to be.
- Formerly Fit: While still having a bit of muscle, Peter notes that he's having a harder time keeping his muscular build as he creeps into middle age.
- Large Ham: Even as an elderly man, J. Jonah Jameson is still gaming it up, this time as a conspiracy theory podcaster rather than as a bombastic tabloid editor.
- Ms. Fanservice: Even in middle age, Mary Jane Watson's good looks are still the source of legend, with Dan (tactfully) commenting on them.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Pepperoni pizza is Peter's favorite thing to eat. Mary Jane offers it to him as an anniversary present.
