-This is a Hobie Brown x Reader(Athena) fanfiction. In a world where the art scene is thriving, a young high school student named Athena Alvarez discovers she has been granted spider-like abilities after being bitten by a ratiocative spider. Using her abilities, she creates a heroic persona, 'Cryptic Silk', and sets out to help those in need and protect the city. But when she crosses paths with Hobie Brown, a street-level hero known as 'Spider-Punk' from a different universe, with a soft spot for music, their two worlds collide, and they can't help but feel drawn to each other. Together, they embark on a journey filled with action, adventure, and romance as they navigate the dangers and mysteries that plague their world, all while discovering the power of true love.

She wasn't looking for redemption. He wasn't interested in salvation. A chance meeting leads to new alliances, but safety is only an illusion. Fate has made its move, but it will only carry them so far. After that you have to choose: fight or die. The world ended the day the dead rose. Can she build a life in what remains or is fate not done yet? (Daryl x OFC) ~ I tried to stay true to the characters, and with the addition of some original scenes, this will follow the TV show (eventually). There will be some minor and major changes along the way. Hope you like them. Enjoy!
