    Summary

    Peter felt his breath catch in the back of his throat, the image of the Staten Island Ferry splitting into two still in his mind, being powerless to save it. After everything he's been through, this is what's finally going to break him for good. He wasn't going to take it sitting down- even if it meant making one of the most reckless decisions of his life.

    Or, the Cherry AU that literally no one asked for.

    Summary

    “And frankly? From your stories—” She raises the pitch of her voice pointedly, and Peter doesn’t let her know that he can tell she’s just as nervous as he is even when she puffs her chest in confidence, “—I think I’m better.”

    He can do it right now—tell MJ he’s been in love with her for longer than he can even remember—yet, all that leaves him is, “Wanna bet?”

    Michelle and Peter have something to prove to each other.

    Summary

    And then Peter’s alone in his own motel room, sitting on the edge of his bed staring blankly at a TV playing Friends reruns like white noise, trying to parse through his emotions like translating something for Spanish homework. Like he’s picking up on some things, but will probably have to put some effort, consult a textbook and maybe Google translate, to figure out what exactly is going on.

    He thinks he’s okay. He feels a little twitchy, a little wrung out and smudged over, but there’s also some dangerous kind of calm and triumph creeping up on him.

    Peter, MJ, and a motel room in London.

    Summary

    A gas leak, perhaps. Carbon monoxide poisoning, or maybe a neurotoxin from some kind of biological attack. Mind control surely isn’t that far a stretch, considering the weird things that keep cropping up on the news.

    What other reason could there be for sleeping with her best friend’s crappy roommate?

    -----

    Or: The only thing MJ learns from this mistake is that it might not be one at all.

    If only she can explain that to Ned.

    Summary

    “Long time no see,” she jokes.

    He lets out a laugh-like huff in agreement, “Yeah, for sure.” A pause, “You look—you look really good, Michelle.” MJ doesn’t miss the way his gaze leisurely travels over her, clearly checking her out, mostly because she does the same thing, her own gaze tracking from his eyes down the slope of his neck, following down his sternum peeking out through his undone collar and shirt buttons until she catches herself and snaps her gaze away from his chest and focuses back on his face instead.

    She has to resist the urge to tuck her hair behind her ears in response to his compliment, a juvenile reaction. Instead, she shrugs nonchalantly and gives him an easy smirk, “It’s the classic high school loner to college hottie pipeline; I got hot literally the day right after we graduated from Midtown.”

    Peter chuckles and shakes his head, then, in a quiet voice where MJ has to strain slightly to hear him, “You were always hot.”

    -

    Or: MJ reunites with her old High School crush nearly a decade since she last saw him. The two decide to take a chance and spend the weekend together, rekindling their old friendship and what could have been.
