    Summary

    Despite it being over four years since the death of Hotguy, Scar still lives day-to-day with the damage from the incident, unable to work through the trauma from the systemic abuse of the hero committee due to his glorification of his Hotguy days. Cub, his manager and best friend, reaches out to a ghostwriter to help Scar publish a book about Hotguy and the failings of hero culture.
    The ghostwriter, Grian, has been running from a painful past for the last few years, hiding himself and spinning his life into one of medial routines in a desperate attempt to feel normal again.
    Perhaps together they can help solve each other's traumatic past-identity deaths.

    ~

    Hero AU with messy desertduo/scarian situationship exploring toxic celebrity culture, working through old trauma & guilt, coming to terms with disabilities and unhealthy relationships.

    Summary

    “Mr. Loki?” asked the Spider cautiously. “Aren’t you—like—a bad guy?” he asked, voice full of only curiosity, as far as Loki could tell.

    His first thought was, yes.

    His second thought was no.

    His third thought was, sometimes?

    “It varies from moment to moment,” Loki answered honestly, prying his eyes open after they threatened to fall close.

    “But on a scale of one to ten, where are you at right now?”

    “Maybe a three?”

    The Spider-child nodded. “Cool,” he replied. “Let me know if it gets above a six.

    Or: Five times Peter Parker was there for Loki when it 'got above a six', and one time he wasn’t.
