Caelum-et-Infernum
Miles Morales x OC
Time heals all, but I can't feel what once was anymore...
"I've travelled the world for you, loved you half my life, and went through hell with you---this is what you tell me now? I'm the one who was there when everyone else left you!"
"Rue, I don't think we were ever meant to be."
In the case where Miles is bitten by a radioactive spider, and his best friend is...not. Rue grew up reclusive and fiercely independent, not a surprise from somebody whose past was hidden not only by others but also by her own mind. Being overlooked wasn't easy for Rue, but not unusual either. Miles was always the one who brought the charisma and charm, she was used to coming in second--not that she especially minded. His metamorphosis on that fateful night changed everything. Can she--no he-- hold on to the only constant he's known his entire life, or will he lose everything as he's thrown into the multiverse?
