The First of Many Nurse MJ Moments by aSintobeRin
Fandoms: Marvel's Spider-Man (Insomniac Games Video Games)
01 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Mary Jane Watson is many things. She’s the daughter to a man that she’s not all that fond of at the moment. She’s best friends with geek/superhero Peter Parker and rich kid/closet nerd Harry Osborn. She’s even an amateur reporter. But one thing that’s she’s not?
A nurse. Or a doctor. Or anything even remotely related to a health professional. She doesn't even have a doctor in her family. Her dad is a dockworker, for chrissakes. But here she is, Mary Jane Watson, daughter, friend, and amateur reporter, attempting to stop one of her best friends from bleeding to death.An expansion on MJ's comment in Spider-Man 1 for the PS4: "Fisk cut Peter open like a pork sausage with this the first time they fought. Pete got away, collapsed in my yard half dead, and I had to steal my dad’s car to drive him to the ER. The first of many “Nurse MJ” moments. Too many.”

Summary
“Hey, is there, like, a ringing sound or something?”
Mac frowns and closes his eyes. “Yeah. That’s weird.”
“There definitely isn’t,” Cynthia replies, brushing the leaf litter from her flight suit.
“Oh,” Jack says, voice small. He rubs his temples, squinting and tipping his head. “Concussion,” he finally decides. “You?”
“Yeah,” Mac agrees. “Unless the world’s resolution dropped to 40p.”
“Don’t do that.” Jack doesn’t even sound mad. He just sounds tired. Disappointed. “We’ve been over this. You know how much I hate it when you go all geekspeak on me.”
“And you know how much I hate it when you say ‘geekspeak,’ so call us even.”
Cynthia coughs loudly. “Can we please just get out of here? If I have to listen to you two bicker much longer, I’m going to run after the war criminal with a gun and beg him to kill me.”
Another take on S1E13, Large Blade.

Summary
Nate is having a hard time concentrating. Maybe it's the drugs. Maybe it's the reflection off Marlowe's stupidly perfect, stupidly white teeth. All he knows is that he needs to find Sully. (Also that Marlowe can go fall off a cliff, but this ain't about her.)
A retelling of Drake's Deception, Chapter 11: As Above, So Below.

Summary
“M’kay, I’m gonna recap this, and I want you to tell me it's not insane: So there's a disgraced nuclear physicist-”
“Doc Ock.”
“- who’s being mind controlled by a set of mechanical arms, of which their purpose is entirely nebulous-”
“To build a nuclear reactor.”
“- and he invented a machine that overwhelms your nervous system-”
“Spider-sense.”
“- and is making you think everything is a threat-”
“Because everything is a threat.”
“- and now you're hiding in the janitor’s closet.”
“It's the statistically safest place in school!”
“Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?”
“I wouldn't tell you this if I didn't have to, Mr. Stark.”
Tony sighs. “I’ll be there in ten.”

Summary
Jason Todd is cursed. From his very conception, he was doomed to a short, tragic life filled with roadblock after roadblock, disaster after disaster. And perhaps the worst part of the curse - the most cruel aspect - is that Jason cannot accept this fate. Until his very last moment, in his darkest hour and final minute, he will fight, kick, and claw his way upwards, fully believing that he can succeed. And perhaps he will win that tiny battle, but each victory will only draw him deeper into misfortune. He's a rat in a cage, a hamster on a wheel. An ouroboro, endlessly living and dying and living again with no hope of peace.

10 Oct 2025

Summary
Dick Grayson left Gotham for a reason. He craves independence. He needs to work on his own, to help people his way rather than Batman's. The helicopter parenting gets unbearable once you're finally old enough to drink.
Yes, Dick left Gotham to work without someone staring over his shoulder, but now he's sick as a dog with the new people in his life checking on him every twenty minutes. Why can't he just suffer in silence?

Summary
Angus “What Is That, Some Kinda Hamburger Name?” MacGyver is Jack “The Wickedly Handsome” Dalton’s family. One has laid down his life for the other and vise-versa. They’ve survived battalions of enemy soldiers, ominously-ticking IEDs, and every form of extreme weather from blizzard to sandstorm to hail of bullets. There is nothing in this world that could keep them apart.
Not even death, Jack thinks to himself as he slams the heels of his palms into his brother’s chest over and over and over. He won’t give up. Not now. Not ever.
Missing scene from MacGyver 2016 S1E1: The Rising.

Summary
When they say Batman has a hypersonic jet, some plane that can go 3,800 miles per hour, tens of thousands of feet in the air without so much as a creak or a groan in protest, most people would say: “Cool. That's so fast.” What they don't realize is how bad it sucks when that plane does eventually break. Dick likes heights, but even he can admit that 57,000 feet is simply too high of a fall.

Summary
Tim is mad at Dick. No, scratch that. He's furious. The guy faked his own death, after all. And then he lied. For nearly a year, he didn’t say a damn thing. Not a peep, not a syllable, not the slightest utterance, his family as dead to him as he was to them.
Tim decided he wouldn't forgive Dick after that, but… well…
It's hard to be mad at the guy who's crying on the floor.

Who Are You When The Curtain Falls? by aSintobeRin
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics)
03 Nov 2025

Summary
Talons are made to last. They aren’t alive, after all, which significantly reduces the chance of death by illness or injury and completely nullifies any age-related death. Even cold, a Talon’s greatest weakness, only causes them to hibernate. They may look and feel dead, but they’re plenty capable of reanimating once they thaw out. Truthfully, a Talon goes out one of two ways:
1. Complete and total destruction of the Talon’s body in the heat of battle
Or
2. Being neutralized by the Court when they determine the Talon is no longer worthy of the title
That’s how a Talon is supposed to die.
But that's not how this Talon dies. This Talon dies to become something else. Something more.
And for conspiring against nature, this Talon pays the price.

And despite how crappy he feels, there's only one thing on Dick’s mind:
He really misses his mom.Series
