5+1 Times Eddie and Venom were separated (And what they did about it)

Summary:

The first time they're separated it's by Dan, and it's relatively easy. Oh, it hurts. No doubt about that. But they'd only just bonded and that just barely on the surface level. Even with a perfect match it takes time and effort to make something that lasts, and while Venom had touched every cell in Eddie's body by that point it hadn't yet settled into his bones, let alone had Eddie reach back.

Getting half your brain, body, and soul torn out sucks, and it gets worse the longer Eddie and V are together.

Notes:

This is my first time doing a multi-chapter fic, or anything anywhere near this long. So I'd appreciate it if you pointed out any mistakes I make - some of it's intentional, but that just means I have to be more careful of the bits that aren't.

I've had this in the works for a while, but wasn't getting much written in my word document; too many different parts and it's too tempting to either rework stuff I've already hashed out or just let it sit, so posting it in stages rather than all at once is an attempt to get me to work on it regularly. Seems to be working so far, so here's hoping we get a finished story out of it.

And do let me know what you think! I love this fandom, and it's great to get to contribute to it!

Chapter Text

Prologue: Setup

 

The first time they're separated it's by Dan, and it's relatively easy. Oh, it hurts. No doubt about that. But they'd only just bonded and that just barely on the surface level. Even with a perfect match it takes time and effort to make something that lasts, and while Venom had touched every cell in Eddie's body by that point it hadn't yet settled into his bones, let alone had Eddie reach back.

So when the noise comes and disrupts the symbiote's connection to its host -ripping its holdfast from the crevices of Eddie’s brain and displacing it into the burning air- the pain of the separation itself lasts only as long as the ejection to complete and neither receives any actual damage in the process.
The fight with Riot, removing Venom more bodily from its host, is similarly quick.
