I Keep Reading So Many Peter Parker In Gotham AU Fanfics, And I Got The Worst Idea Ever

I keep reading so many Peter Parker in Gotham AU fanfics, and I got the worst idea ever

As most start outs go in these fics, Post SM:NWH Peter ends up in DC universe Gotham

Only difference? The Joker in this DC universe is actually an alternate version of Norman Osborn.

I know this sounds so dumb but like,,, imagine it. May died trying to help Norman, and Peter nearly threw away his morals to avenge her death by killing Norman himself. Now he's faced with another version of Osborn who is so much more fucked up, who's been through so much shit, and all Peter can see past that shitty clown make-up is the poor man who needed help who his aunt died trying to help. The man who went to FEAST knowing Peter could help. The man who one second was scared of everything including himself, and the next was laughing uncontrollably, even through the punches Peter pounded into him.

What if Peter decides Mays death won't be in vain. That even if this isn't the same Norman Osborn, he's going to help him and he won't die trying like May. He's going to avenge her death the right way.

Then cue the Bats freaking the FUCK out because???? As much as they beat the shit out of him, Bruce had spent years trying to help him, then this homeless and totally adoptable kid shows up out of nowhere and is breaking past the Joker and to the real man trapped behind it all?????

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! <3

Ginny Weasley is six, and she’s getting very vocal about the fact that she is a girl, a girl, a girl! She becomes sullen, withdrawn, grumpy, and prone to tantrums when she is not listened to.

Ginny Weasley is eight, and she is still a girl. Her parents and brothers have slowly become more and more supportive and accepting of this, and finally no one is misgendering her and mum has taken to calling her Ginny and everyone else has followed suit. She blossoms. Ginny is cheerful and exuberant and energetic. She never shuts up and laughs all the time.

Ginny Weasley is 14, and before she knew something was wrong, that she didn’t feel how people said she was supposed to, but now she thinks she doesn’t feel how she is supposed to feel again except this is a lack of feeling and how is she supposed to know if she just doesn’t feel something?

Ginny Weasley is 21 and realizing she is durasexual in addition to being ply. She worries she will never have a committed, stable, long-term relationship that she so wants.

Ginny Weasley is 33 and in a romantic and sometimes sexual relationship with Harry and Luna and in a qpp with Neville and Hermione. Ginny Weasley’s life is not perfect, but she’s pretty damn happy with how it’s turning out.

Hermione Granger is 10, and she’s having to explain to her parents and the tall, stern woman standing in her living room why her letter has the name “Hermione” on it. This isn’t something she’s said out loud before. And she’s crying and hunching over and stimming with her necklace, but the strangers sternness seems to suddenly disappear as she steps in and apologizes to Hermione and is somehow convincing her parent’s to leave while they talk. Professor McGonagall says her name is Minerva, but it wasn’t always, and she too is trans like Hermione, and she’s so sorry; Hogwarts’ system isn’t perfect and they never meant to forcefully out her to her parents, but Hermione is also a witch just like Minerva, and Minerva can erase her parents’ memories and they can start over without her parents’ remembering any of this business about Hermione’s true gender if she’s not ready yet. But it helps to know she’s not alone. Hermione works through her upset. She squares her shoulders. She’s ready.

Hermione Granger is 18, and she’s letting Ron down gently and admitting out loud for the first time that she’s aromantic. And she’s telling her friends for the first time that she’s trans. And Merlin, does she feel free.

Hermione Granger is 25 and the Ministry’s biggest thorn with all her activist campaigns. She’s got big plans and the drive to go through with them.

Bill Weasley is 17, and his baby sister is telling them all that she’s a girl, and Bill has trouble focusing for the next few months, buried in self-reflection.

Bill Weasley is 19, and he’s telling his family that he’s actually a boy man. And he’s far older than Ginny was, so there’s lots of confusion and resistance, but Bill knows now how to define how he feels, knows know that how he feels is valid, and he’s not backing down.

Bill Weasley is 27, and he’s marrying the love of his life, Fleur, who teaches him so many things. When she comes out as queer and agender, he discovers the term bi to describe his attraction. He helps her practice English, and he learns French. And everyday, he learns new depths of just how much he can love someone.

Nymphadora Tonks is a newborn, and she’s already subconsciously altering her looks. It means nothing except a mirror as to who’s around her.

Nymphadora Tonks is seven, and he feels like an outcast. He loves being a metamorphmagi. It immediately makes him friends with all other kids, who thinks what he does is just amazing and hilarious. He does not yet understand how he feels when he radically changes his body or the joy he gets when people automatically change pronouns based on his appearance, but neither does he know how to talk about it when his mother or father ‘correct’ people.

Nymphadora Tonks is 13 and just learned the term genderfluid. They love it! Genderfluid! It’s their word! But it brings up questions that sometimes Tonks lays awake at night thinking about. Is it because they’re a metamorphmagi or are they just lucky like that?

Nymphadora Tonks is 20, and xe’s had one night stands, short relationships, flings, and crushes so intense xe feels like xe’s burning alive. Tonks is pan, a hopeless romantic, and xe secretly dreams of getting married and settling down. Mum and dad are so in love. Tonks wants that. But xe’s never even been in a relationship more than a few months long. Is it because xe’s a metamorphmagi or because xe’s Tonks?

Nymphadora Tonks is 23, and ey has just given birth via donor. Maybe a committed and loving marriage isn’t in eir future, but ey are ready for a baby. And the moment that lil babe cries, Tonks’ heart bursts with love and all the loneliness ey’s ever felt suddenly seems like a dream. And when that little babe yawns and their hair goes from brown to Tonks’ pink shade, the whole world melts away, and Tonks knows true happiness.

Harry Potter is 16, and he’s coming to terms with being gray-asexual. And by coming to terms, Harry is actually burying these feelings under any and all other distractions he can.

Harry Potter is 22, and he’s leading pride parades down Diagon Alley and in Hogsmeade, proudly displaying his gray-ace shirt and bi flag. Oh, how far he’s come, learning to love himself by helping other’s to be able to do the same.

Harry Potter is 31, and they’ve just started questioning their gender. Some say they’re just trying to feel special by identifying as nonbinary. Harry shrugs and laughs and tells them they’re the Chosen One who defeated Voldemort. They don’t need to be made to feel any more special. They just need to be honest with themself.

Draco Malfoy is 15, and se knows se’s not allowed to talk about how se really feels. That’s not what Malfoy’s do. But Slytherin is full of secrets, and not all secrets are meant to be kept. In the darkest hour of night, on the 31st of the month, Slytherins solemnly gather in the common room and whisper out their secrets. This is not something that is ever spoken of, and one must never use information shared during this time against each other. So, in hushed tones, with hir eyes closed, every other month, Draco gets to admit se’s bigender.

Draco Malfoy is 24, and although Astoria knows hir secret and se knows hers, they are still pretending because it’s the easier thing to do.

Draco Malfoy is 39, and hir wife has died. Se feels empty and numb. Se goes through the motions for Scorpius. Se grieves.

Draco Malfoy is 44, and it’s time se started setting the example for Scorpius instead of the other way around. Too bad if hir parent’s don’t like it. Draco is bigender and attracted to men. Se’s achillean. And se’s tired of being alone.

Draco Malfoy is 51, and se’s getting married again. Se’s sure hir father is watching with a frown, but se can’t see anything but Blaise’s shining eyes staring into hirs - can’t even see the tears of joy Scorpius is subtly wiping away.

It’s 2018, and it’s Britain’s magical community’s third year recognizing and celebrating Trans Day of Visibility. And it’s absolutely beautiful.

If you think that Fleur didn’t yell out, “And THATS FOR RUINING MY WEDDING!” while fighting Death Eaters, you are wrong, my friend.
