Notable Works

Work Song ^[1] Fandom: Spider-Man, Fantastic Four (Comicverse)Date: 2016Length: 51kGenre: Post-Canon

Keep Throwing Things and Slamming the Door ^[2] Fandom: Spider-Man, Fantastic Four (Comicverse), Marvel 616Date: 2013Length: 8kGenre: Canon AU

Waking up in a stranger's bed is not how superhero Johnny Storm planned on spending the morning after the night before.

From now on…

A) No more secret hookups with Peter Parker—he's the last man on earth Johnny'd want to share a room with, never mind a king-size bed.

B) Maintain a professional persona at all times. After all, he's a photographer for New York's #1 Superhero Bashing Rag and Johnny's perfect tabloid fodder.

C) Keep friends close but enemies closer. Easier said than done, with She-Hulk away on her honeymoon and Spider-Man avoiding him.

Say You Will, Say You Won't ^[3] Fandom: Spider-Man, Fantastic Four (Comicverse)Date: 2015Length: 16kGenre: Fake/Pretend Relationship

Central City, California is beautiful, but it’s not where Johnny wants to be – and he’s not who he wants to be, either. Inspired by the recent return of Spider-Man, Johnny convinces the newly minted Fantastic Four to return to the Baxter Building, the site of the incident that gave them their powers. But not everything is what it seems, and worse yet, Spider-Man wants nothing to do with the Human Torch. In the wake of Gwen’s death, Peter has finally put the mask back on, but nothing’s the same as it once was, and the thrill has gone out of Spider-Man. The Fantastic Four’s arrival only makes everything worse. The Human Torch is good looking, he’ll give him that much, but Peter has no plans of making friends. A series of strange attacks and a fateful encounter on the docks may not leave him much choice.
