Green, through and through by another_fucking_robin *Unfinished*

A Long Way From Home (And No Way Back) by Vivia_wants_boba

*Unfinished*

~“Oh,” the kid says, head turning to look back at the bathroom. “It’s fine. I’ve got it figured out.”

Dick’s face pulls to a pinched expression, shaking his head slowly. “As much as I’d love to believe you, I can’t. That stuff can’t just be emptied down the drain.”

The kid’s own face scrunches this time. “Why not?”~

Set Naked On Your Kingdom by sassydandelion *Finished*

~At the end of No Way Home, Peter chooses to sacrifice his life in New York to save the multi-verse...by letting Dr. Strange send him to a world where no one has ever heard of Spider-Man. What kind of crazy place is this Gotham City, anyway?~

time flies by (bye) by WHYISEVERYNAMETAKEN *Finished*

~"Maybe," Peter thought, "I can make a life here." Hence the tears and the guilt and the grief, because was Peter allowed to move on? Was he allowed to… to leave it all behind? Leave all the bad things in the past? Peter was "The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!" after all, and wasn’t he letting Queens - his people - down if he didn’t fight tooth and nail to get back to them?~

The Ghosts of the Gotham Opera house by Unctrlablyalt (tay_tay19) *Finished*

Well... that was unexpected (subject to change) by scrambleddragonegg *Unfinished*

~When Peter’s tear-filled goodbyes were meant to send him back to another Earth, he thought the wizard meant his Earth.

This Earth had a city out of his imagination. A dark city with more smog than New York ever had. A city that crushes spirits before they can even be born. A city home to some of the most extreme villains Peter’s ever seen.~

Where could I go? by know_where_usa *Unfinished*

~When Peter lands in Gotham City, the Joker finds him first.~

Rated T For Traumatised by WibWoby *Unfinished*

~Peter trades in his gallery of trauma for the Bats’ rogue gallery as he adjusts to living in Gotham, losing his entire universe, and living with the ghosts of the Avengers. It’s not a fair trade—Peter is definitely being scammed for the damned shiny Jigglypuff—but at least he is getting out of this alive. Mostly.~

~In order to be accepted by your coworkers at Wayne Enterprises, you must complete the initiation of a paternity test with a collection of people. But what if one comes back positive?~

Watching Through Fingers by emmacortana  *Finished*

~Peter spends his nights out on the streets, a camera wrung around his neck. He takes pictures of Gotham because somebody has to, and dreads the moment he has to return to his bed.

On his way, he sees friends, bats, more than a few super-villains—and oddest of all, Loki, who's redirected his efforts away from "world domination" and into "complete confusion."~

Two Former Hellraisers by emmacortana *Finished*

~When Peter was fourteen, Black Cat goaded Spider-Man into a rooftop cat-and-mouse chase.

Two years, one and a half deaths, and an alternate universe later—nothing has changed. Other than his newly found bat-themed peanut gallery bearing witness to his public humiliation at the hands of one Felicia Hardy.~

Spiderhead by emmacortana *Finished*

~Peter acts like a spider.

The bats have opinions on it.~

Peter the Pizza Guy by Irisen *Unfinished*

~Peter needs money to survive Gotham and picks up a pizza delivery job.~

Existential Crisis Mode by LuciaInTheSky *Unfinished*

~Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.

Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.~

If Violence is a Virtue ( You Must Be a Saint) by D3ADP00L *Unfinished*

~Peter Parker woke up burning and mournful and angry surrounded by a sky the color of concrete and buildings that towered over his bruised body. A damp pamphlet laid in front of him. "Welcome to Gotham"~
