《Sticks and Stones • Spideypool ✓》Chapter 20
Advertisement
The scene i was greeted with when we reached the tower was disturbing to say the least. Peter - or should i say Venom - was being held in the air by scarlet magic, whilst the others made unbearable noise, causing the creature to writhe in pain.
I signal to Eddie, who was already transforming into Anti-Venom. Luckily for us, Eddie had a hold on his symbiote, so we needn't worry about him. Once fully transformed, he bounded up to venom, who screeched at the sight of its twin. The white monster grabbed a hold off the monsters shoulders, burning the thick black skin until it turned to goo.
You could see parts of human skin appear and Venom was slowly destroyed. It was taking all of Wanda's energy to keep the huge monster in place, and took all of Eddies strength to kill the parasite.
Soon the screeching subsided, all that was left of the monster was a couple of black specks on the floor, which disappeared almost instantly. Peter hung limply in the air, his head drooping and eyes closed.
"Peter? Peter!" His eyelids fluttered open at the sound of my voice. I let out a small sob as he was lowered carefully to the floor. i rushed over to help him up, slipping one arm under his legs and the other around his back. I carefully picked him of the floor and laid him on the couch. His dads examined him, flooding him with question.
"Where am I?" He asked , completely oblivious the the questions being asked. His brow was furrowed in confusion, his beautiful hazel eyes staring right through me.
"Tony whats wrong with him?" I ask, shooting him a terrified look. He shrugs his shoulders, looking equally scared. Bruce comes over, examining Peter as well as he could. "He needs to be moved to my lab. Wade if you could," The scientist didn't need to finish his sentence. I picked peter up again and teleported to his lab.

Peter yelped in fear. I stroked the back of his neck, calming him. Bruce entered a few minutes later. he began to hook peter up to machines allowing him to look at his brain, heart and lungs. Bruce muttered as he worked, making me on edge. Tony and Steve had joined us. the others waited upstairs.
Peter was looking around, dazed. I could see the look of innocence and wonder that i have missed oh so much. I didn't let go of his hand, not for one moment. Peter looked confused at my emotion but didn't question it. A knot of anxiety had formed in my stomach. With every beep of the machines the knot grew tighter and larger.
"Wade i think you should step out for a moment." Bruce whispered, resting a hand on my shoulder. I shook my head, not taking my eyes of Peter. "Whatever you have to say you can say it to me. I need to know he will be alright."
Bruce looked at his friends, who nodded. "It seems Peter is physically fine. But when the symbiote left his body, it took part of Peter's subconscious with it. He has no memory. I'm sorry. i don't think there is anything i can do for him now."
No. My whole world feels like its crumbling down around me. I can't breathe. I hear voices around me but they are distant whispers. I can feel myself getting pulled up of the floor. I didn't realise I had fallen. Through my tears I see soft hazel eyes looking worriedly at me. He puts a hand on my face, wiping away tear. I lean into his touch. I have forgotten how soft his hands were. Its been so long since he has held me like this. Peter smiles at me, unbeknown to the fact that he hated me little over three hours ago. Suddenly this all felt wrong. I pull back from Peter's hand and turned away.

"Peter. I can't do this. You don't remember me. I can't force you to love me again when you didn't to begin with. Its wrong."
"Wade," Tony spoke up from behind Peter. "As much as i hate to say it, my son loved you with every inch of his being. This is the time to get that back. You have proven yourself to us, now prove yourself to him."
I stare at Tony dumbfounded, then back at Peter, who had his head cocked looking unbelievably cute. He was still smiling at me, the corners of his eyes crinkled, the dimples of his cheeks large.
"Please help me Wade. I need you." That was it. That was the moment I vowed to myself i would never leave Peter's side again. I love him more than anything in this god forsaken world. I will never lose him again.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.

Yet he still prepared himself for the worst each and every time, until he finally broke and gave up, only to find the Goddess did not allow slacking in the sacred duty he had been tasked with. Now, he seeks to free himself from his bonds. How many more worlds will he need to traverse to find the power to end the cycle?
