Everyone forgot Peter Parker. You were supposed to be no different. Years have passed since the spell. Years since Peter Parker disappeared from everyone's lives, leaving behind nothing but a mask, a name no one remembers, and a life he had to rebuild from nothing. Except Peter never forgot you. You were his girlfriend. His best friend. His whole world. And while you went on with your life, completely unaware that you'd ever loved him, Peter kept watching from a distance. At first, it was innocent. He just wanted to make sure you were safe. But when his body began to change... His senses sharpened. His instincts grew stronger. And somehow, everything about you became impossible to ignore. Your heartbeat. Your footsteps. Your habits. Your fears. He could hear you before he could see you. And the closer he became, the harder it was to stay away. You don't remember Peter Parker. But Peter remembers everything. And maybe being forgotten was never going to stop him from finding his way back to you.

(book 1) y/n stark is really not here for this european school vacation because in this post-endgame world, she's mourning the loss of her dad. but one (1) sticky boi peter parker is just trying to be the friend he once was while also trying not to flirt too much because if she rejects him (which she wouldn't, not that he knows that) while they're in venice holy hell he'll just pitch himself off the gondola right then and there. basically, y/n has been distancing herself & peter misses her & this school trip is a great way for him to coax her back into the real world & y/n really loves peter but is super sensitive and scared to lose him & also mysterio shows up at some point ugh @ nick fury leave ned leeds alone *this story was written prior to avengers: infinity war & spider-man: far from home coming out. therefore, the canon in which these characters live in is different from the mcu. in this canon - tony stark, captain america, & thor have all died. black widow & vision have survived. the decimation, where half the population was snapped from existence was erased with time travel so those who were snapped came back within online minutes, leaving some residual trauma. in this canon, those who survived the decimation only lived six months without those who were snapped, but those six months have been erased - leaving only the avengers to fully remember what happened.
