In another reality Peter is probably dead.” In one reality Kingpin kills Peter. In another Miles saves him.

None of them had expected for that very black and very unexpected blood to be painting the wall behind him as Lizard’s claws dug into his flesh, and sent his body flying limply to hit the wall with a wet-sounding smack." - A story based on recovery, color, and the knowledge that you're not alone.

all because of you (i do right) by puppyblue
- Recommended by Andariel
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: While hiding from the Prowler in his uncle's apartment, Miles doesn't manage to turn invisible in time. Prowler, in turn, learns some inconvenient truths.
- Comments: An AU where Aaron figures out Miles is the new Spider-Man before he tries to kill his nephew on the roof of a house. Superbly written, captures the heart and tone of the characters perfectly, and at only 4 chapters long it's a relatively short read. Definitely a must-read if you thought the Miles-Aaron relationship deserved more attention.
- Recommended by Andariel
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: I should go up there and help him, Miles thinks, and stands up straight to stare at where Green Goblin and Prowler have Spiderman pinned down. And in the five seconds between the thought and the realization that hey, maybe not, all Miles can think is, but I have no way to get up there. So he throws his phone instead.

- Synopsis: Continued after Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. After the Collider was destroyed, none of the heroes thought they'd ever get to see each other again.

- Synopsis: Peter Parker hightails out of the particle collider with Miles Morales tucked under his arm. Or: Spider-Man lives, and the consequences thereafter.

- Synopsis: Alright, you lovely people. Let’s start at the beginning one last time. My name is Vanessa Fisk.

My son got killed in the following battle and I almost met the same fate.

I was lying in bed after a particular nasty fight when a swirling portal opened right underneath me and dragged me … somewhere.
Cracks In Canon by Mr. Chaos (FF.Net Link)
- Recommended by: VictorioMWolff-Haddock, RainbowPumpqueen
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: During the final battle tempers flare, emotions get the better of people... and the worst happens. They didn't mean for this to happen. None of them did. They just were told to stop Miles. And the fate of the universe...
But good intentions don't stitch skulls back together.
Now Gwen, Miguel, Peter, and the Spider Society must look at themselves in the cold morning light and see what they've allowed themselves to become. How their toxic grief has turned them into the very monsters they once swore to stop. Because they can't lie to themselves anymore. Not in the face of their guilt. Their betrayals come with costs... and now someone else is paying for them. - Has a work in progress trope page here.
- Comment: Intriguing "What if" fanfic, where instead of Miles managing to escape, Miguel caught up to him and beat him down, severely injuring him, causing a wave of My God, What Have I Done? to spread across the Spider Society.

- Synopsis: Gwen snorted. “You and Miles would get along-” A smile appeared on her face, growing wider. “You wanna go on a trip?” “A multi-dimensional trip.” “The only fun kind,” she agreed. Gwen turned to him, her smile large and coaxing. “It’ll be great. I’ll get you back here as soon as you want – but it could be fun! Meet Miles, maybe another Peter if we have time.” Peter really wanted to go to another universe, let’s be clear. But he a) had homework, b) didn’t need his brain to melt out of his ears, and c) had a dinner to get to in three hours. He totally ended up going to another universe.
