Death Before Inaction

Sounds like a damn good origin story and first chapter lol!So hyped to start this can't wait to see what version of Peter Parker this one is gonna turn into!

Started reading this on a rec, its so good so far!!! Currently trying not to cry on a public bus 👍👍👍

Please tell me you are going to continue this it sis really good

crams in mouth I can't tell you what this was but I can tell you it tasted amazing. Thanks for the content!

Well crap, you’re going to get me re-obsessed with Spider-man with stories like this. This was an amazing intro. Also, also! Loving Harry being there. I’m so excited to see where you’re going with this. 💖💖💖

THE SADS <\3

WHAT THE MOTHER FUCKERY FUCKITY

I have fucking tears in my eyes this was amazing!

Wow. Just... wow. This first chapter is amazing and so real and truthful and heartbreakingly beautiful. Thank you for writing this, I'll be reading it whenever I have time the next few days. Mind if I quote you?Oh, yeah, and I think you'll be roping me back into the Spidey fandom. xD

That was gold my God I'm going to need a minute

Damn that was intense, love the shift in mentality as he gains capabilities he becomes apathetic to changing the situations

DAMN, what a take on the Spider-man origin story—this is EXCELLENT, I’m so excited to see where you take it!!!

god, the character study you did here was perfect. I feel like you got inside peter parker's brain and described him like almost no fic does, which is exactly how he is. Your writing is wonderful too.

Just a small inaccuracy: babies actually only get their “true” eye color after 6-9 months after birth at least. Before that it is less pigmented, usually grey.Amazing story, can’t wait to read more!

Damn I'm crying this is really good :)

Please update soon. Your story is the only one I can find with a competent Peter Parker. The amount of stories there are were he is still a complete rookie after 2 years is painful.

Like...legitimately crying right now. I feel horrible and I despise you and this story.Thank you, I will continue to read.

Weeping

Is it wrong that I don't feel sorry for Ben getting shot? The robber would have just took the money and left with no one hurt. After which they call the cops and give a description of events. The cops review the security footage and try to catch the guy. Their was no need to try to play hero while someones holding a gun. I don't think what he did makes him a hero, just a idiot who needlessly died.It also seems like Peter misinterpreted with great power cones great responsibility here. His uncle wasn't talking about super powers, he was talking about Peter's intelligence.Did Peter parents not leave behind a Will in case of their deaths? They being spies should have had money sat aside that could be used to help take care of Peter. What about adopting Peter official and getting the little bit of money that cones from that? It wouldn't be much but it would have helped.These things never seem to be brought up in any Spider-man fanfiction I read at all. Maybe because they want Peter to struggle more I guess.

DUUUUUUDEEEEEHonestly what a great intro

This is one of two fics which have had me exceeding the 5000 character limit in the bookmarks and the ONLY one that has left me scouring the tags sections to further express my passion.I will scream and cry out to the heavens about this fic and when the angels’ ears have bled to the point of iron deficiency and their brains have metaphysically melted through their orifices, then I will turn around and whisper sweet nothings to the underworld. I have naught but human hope to thank for the futile belief that I will be able to regale all the facets to of this fic in their pure, raw splendour. And when my god-given and human-driven persistence has worn off and my throat is doing a rather impressive mimicry of the Sahara desert, my last words, scratched out into the soil as the earth envelopes me in a ‘last hurrah’-like embrace, in lieu of any redundant particulars like a murder mystery-esque, ‘It was Sarah,’ or, ‘It will find you’, will be:‘i rec this work’

I am. So sorry, but this whole chapter ‘helpless’ from Hamilton was playing in my head.also, bro realized 3 fundamental truths at very different times

❤️💙❤️💙Awesome update!!!!!❤️💙❤️💙

Love your version of Spider-Man! You're an excellent writer and storyteller. All too often, I am tossed out of a tale due to poor grammar or incorrect word usage. Not here; I stay fully immersed in your dynamic and logical world. Thank you!

Yeah, the end note pretty much sums up my emotional state rn. I'm sobbing.

CHILLS DUDE WOW ❤️❤️❤️

What was that??? WHAT QAS FHAT??? THAT'S FEH SOUND OF ME CRYING IS WHAT IT WAS

This is devastating and I love it

I KNOW it isn't the point of this but 40.7°C is NOT lethal. Like it's hella hot , but I had 41.7°C on MULTIPLE occasions, and it's horrible but in the end you just walk it off igAnywaysss

bro this character stydy chapter made ne fucking bawl my eyes out

just found this fic because of a rec on tiktok and holy fucking shit. holy fuckingggg SHIT AM I READY FOR THHIS

What an amazing first chapter

no because why was this better than any of the spider-man movies combined 🤨⁉️, loveddd this chapter can’t wait to finish up the rest 😋✨

This is literally my favorite book on this site atp. I NEED MOREEE!! 🤣🤣

holy shit. holy shit. HOLY. SHIT.i am MESMERISED by your writing style

I love this characterization of Peter. it's so so good.

This made me very upset, thank you. I think it's wonderful :)

This fanfic is like a breath of fresh air. I never, never ever, read WIPs - I like everything all nicely wrapped up and finished.But this - I’m happy to wait on!I have been obsessively reading Spider-Man fanfics for years, picture a starving man whose stomach is a bottomless pit. I am ravenous for Spider-Man fics. I honestly thought I had read everything published worth reading.This fanfic has become my new favourite, ever.The writing style is amazing - the portrayal of characters should been OOC, but they just fit perfectly. I haven’t read many fanfics where characters are portrayed like this, and portrayed like this well!!I honestly cannot wait for the next instalment.

what the fuck was that /complimentthat last scene left me reeling, im a mess. it was so greatyour writing work is beautiful and it tells so much with such subletly it's delicate work weaving the story, like the babysitter?? you absolutely killed me with that one.peter's voice is so resigned, so pessimistic and so fucking raw. i see myself in it a little, how flawed we are in our own eyes, the faults we carry and the doubt. the desire for strenght when we're weak and the talking about that, the way peter kept wishing for strenght and when he got it he forgets he ever wanted it in the first place, it's poetic and it's life.you write painful and i love it. death before innaction, it felt great catching that part of the title in there.thanks so much for writing, i'm very excited about your work

This is devastating (affectionate)

What the fuck is this shit (in a good way)

Oh My God

AHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSS CHARACTER YES GOOD MMHHH ME LIKEY YEAHHHH

Holy shit that was intense. I feel like I need to lie down, but I read this in bed. Maybe a handstand would help

THIS STORY IS AMAZING!!!!~~~~

FUCK!!!! Where's that fucking 🧅

Can’t wait for the next chapter!!!♥️

I've seen too many tiktoks about this to skip.... I guess this will be my first ongoing fic in 2024.

I've heard, seen, read, and watched this story (and all it's variants) approximately a million times and it NEVER fails to give me that gut wrenching sadness and agony. you have encapsulated it, and what this central moment truly MEANS for peter and all spider-people so incredibly well. you should be so proud :)

oh wow
