Somewhat belated entry for day 14 of @symbruary - Favorite fanworks!
If I tried to do a pic for all of the amazing, wonderful fics I’ve read, I would never get anything else done ever :’D So I tried to narrow it down to the ones that have stuck with me for months and months after first reading them. Been meaning to draw fanart for these for ages, so this was a great opportunity!
FYI before clicking links: all of these are Mature/Explicit
Dust to Dust by amaronith, kitausuret (@kitausuret, @amaronith)
Slow-burn SymbiOT3 fic that I absolutely adore. I love how it takes Eddie and Flash a while to even see each other face to face! There’s so much drama and fun dialogue, and Andi is an absolute gem. The plot itself is super interesting, and I can’t wait to see how it interweaves with Flash and Eddie getting to know each other better.
I think I’m starting to like you by softgrungeprophet (@softgrungeprophet)
Yet another SymbiOT3, this is the first in the Peachy series! The series as a whole is wonderful, and the character development for all three is beautiful. Especially Flash coming to terms with gender identity stuff! The series always gives me such a warm cozy feeling reading it.
How I Met my Brother and Regretted Everything by Prince_of_Trash (@princess-of-peachtrees)
To be completely 100% honest, I did not care at all about Carnage as a character before reading this fic. Now I fucking love him and his rat-bastard self. AND RED, OH MY GOD RED. This fic has one of my favorite characterizations of Sleeper, and is an absolutely hysterical ride. Even with the funny setup, tho, it still does a great job of hammering home the sadder scenes with amazing skill.
The Dangers of Investigative Journalism by NecroFaix (@fictionplumis)
SymbiOT3, but this time with Movie!Eddie! The characterizations in this fic are fantastic, and I especially love how much it delves into Flash’s head (the angst is delicious). The pacing is phenomenal, and the progression of Eddie and Flash’s relationship feels incredibly natural in a way that makes me feel for them and their beloved goo alien when anything goes wrong.
All of these are fics that I love to go back to for inspiration, or just a fun time! I highly recommend checking out all of these wonderful authors and their other works as well!
Obviously there are also fantastic artists in our fandom ( @d-erm, @owlapinart, and @freedomconvicted to name a few!) I’d list them all but others have wonderfully done that already, so I suggest perusing the rec lists I’ve reblogged because we have so many incredible people providing quality Venom content <3
I’m playing DBH
Steve entered the room, it was neatly decorated, red velvet was streamed amongst the walls—the tables had wine glasses lined up around said tables, and a vase filled with flowers, Steve smiled a little.
Besides the decorations—people were crowded, chatting up a storm, Steve scanned the room to find Peggy, amongst the sea of people—he couldn’t find her.
A pang of disappointment washed over the blonde. He sighed both a mixture of frustration and disappointment.
His eyes laid on a brunette, at the corner of the room, he stood out from most. (partly because there was no one there—plus no one was sitting at that table.) Steve walked over to the male, to get a closer look.
The guy was around his age, a mop of brown hair partly obscured his vision, he had to keep brushing his bangs out of the way—which Steve found…cute. Heat rushed to Steve’s face immediately, he hoped the stranger didn’t see. After a few minutes of just standing there, the blonde finally moved over to the person in question.
He noticed the brunette was fiddling with something on his wrist…some sort of gadget, was he also a hero? Steve quickly pushed the thought out of his head.
The blonde cleared his throat to get the others attention.
The young man perked his head up in response.
“Care to dance?” Steve asked, with his hand outstretched.
The man smiled.
“I’d be charmed.”
The young man stood up and took Steve’s hand.
Steve led the other to the dance floor.
“I assume you’re Steve Rogers?” The stranger asked.
“I am.” Steve replied—a hint of shock in his voice.
The brunette chuckled,
“It’s kind of obvious, blonde hair, blue eyes—it’s not that hard to tell.”
The other wrapped his arms around Steve’s neck.
“I’m Peter Parker, by the way.” The man introduced.
Steve wrapped his arms around the other’s waist, slowly dancing to the song that was playing.
Everything happened in a quick succession, Peter’s lips connected with his own, it was short but sweet, Steve closed his eyes—and if the blonde had to admit, the brunette was a pretty good kisser, unlike himself.
The shorter man broke the kiss.
“See you around, Captain.” Peter whispered.
He felt Peter’s hands slip away from his neck, the warmth he felt disappeared—only then it was just a lingering feeling.
When Steve opened his eyes,
Peter was gone.
The words Peter had whispered echoed in his head
‘See you around, Captain.’
My piece for the @monoceroszine project! Was a pleasure to work along side some amazing artists and writers!
