Title: You Know, We're on Each Other's Team

Author: pulses

Canon: Spider-Man/MCU

Pairing: Ned Leeds/Peter Parker

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 2,480

Summary: Lesson 2: You will save his life. Over and over and over again. Sometimes he will return the favor.

Recommendation: Can we talk about the fact that there are more Peter and Tony stories (which is très messed up) than there are Peter and Ned stories. I know why, but the why makes me upset. These two are so cute and I'm a sucker for BFF pairings anyway.

I don't think we as a fandom... we as a people talk about this enough fghjkkjhgf Spiderman/Deadpool I get bc they have like... comic history and stuff with an adult Peter (tho Holland Spiderman/MCU Deadpool??? yikes,,,), but rEALLY,,,,, ppl are rly going for adult mentor/minor protegee more than superhero and his similarly age best friend support come on

It's even worse when you consider that the MCU Spider-man heavily ripped off comics Miles Morales, with Ned Leeds being an extremely obvious rip-off of Ganke Lee - to the point that the writers/producing team for Into The Spiderverse had to cut back on Ganke Lee's part in their script lest the non-comics-reading audience get confused. And still the fans won't ship whitewashed!Miles!Peter with anyone non-white. It's truly egregious.

Thanks for the recommendation!

This pairing had never occurred to me. Probably because racism and fatphobia :-( *goes to read* (And Tony/Peter?! That's... um.... *barely stops self from shipshaming*)
