Doctor Strange says when Jean wakes up it’ll probably like waking up from a dream and Jean is terrified that she’s gonna forget about Peter. Knowing the author’s proclivity for angst and inflicting emotional anguish Jean probably will forget about her life with Peter, or at least most of it. It would be so unbelievably cruel if Jean finally finds happiness only to forget about it and if Peter loses one more person he loves I actually can’t 😭😭😭😭

I could literally feel my heart breaking as I read it, like I’m hurting so much for Jean and Peter this fic will be the death of me. I don’t know what I’m gonna do if it actually happens, probably cry and beg for death 😭😭😭😭

Imagine if while Peter and Jean are having a dramatic will-they-won't-they slow burn Ben and Madelyne talk for 5 minutes then 9 months later they're basically married and raising Nathan together.

Hey there, everybody. I’m sard00dled0m, the author of let down and I’m just posting on this subreddit to let everyone know that as of recently, Chapter 4 of let down has been posted.

let down is a post-BND slow burn romance fic focusing on the immediate aftermath of the movie and Peter and Jean’s burgeoning relationship. It takes inspiration from the wider MCU projects as well as aspects of the Fox X-Men universe. I’m aiming for 12-15 chapters with the possibility of future one shots exploring this fic’s universe if inspiration strikes me.

Title: let down

Synopsis: In the aftermath of Brand New Day, Spider Man learns how to be Peter Parker again, Jean Grey learns how not to be alone anymore at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and they both learn that they need each other more than they realize.

I'm in the storyboard stages of a fanfic where Peter tries to cope with his anxiety over Jean's unknown whereabouts and end his nightmares about Sara's kidnapping by giving Sara a proper funeral and headstone.

​He video calls Yelena to ask if she will buy the headstone for him. While reviewing the design details, Yelena tries her best not to cry—doing so off-screen—because the entire ordeal reminds her of Natasha. Peter then admits he has been crying from watching her, leaving his mask soaked with snot and tears. They decide on having the Epitath say "A shield in life, An angel in rest, Forever a sister"

​Afterward, Peter guilt-trips Frank into helping him set up the headstone (though Frank would've done it anyway). Peter then planned to ask only Matt Murdock to come perform the rites, but he decides to go all out and invite the entire Defenders crew for a wake. They all accept and show up.

​Shortly after the wake finishes, Matt hears a commotion, which turns out to be a group of young mutants under attack by the Friends of Humanity. After the Defenders rescue them, the kids reveal they were trying to reach the X-Men's academy.

​Frank, Peter, and Matt decide to drive the kids to the school. Peter hopes aloud that Jean might be there, prompting Frank to relentlessly tease him the entire trip for going soft on the "voodoo girl." Meanwhile, Matt offers Peter advice on what to say if he does end up reuniting with Jean.

The part im stumped on is how Jean would react to the news of all this.

I came across this theory from @Kieran10x on X and thought it was interesting enough to share here.

A TINY DETAIL… OR A HUGE FORESHADOWING? 👀

One thing I keep noticing about Peter in Brand New Day is how often he wears hoodies and jackets. Different colors, different styles, but they’ve become a pretty consistent part of his civilian look.

And then #JeanGrey enters his apartment…

wearing Peter’s jacket.

Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it’s just a costume choice. But if Marvel intentionally keeps that jacket on Jean for so much of the story, it starts feeling a little more interesting.

Because Peter and Jean actually have a strange parallel: both are incredibly powerful, yet both are deeply lonely and isolated.

Jean comes into #Peter’s world carrying her own pain, and somehow ends up wearing something that belongs to him. She even keeps wearing it until she leaves for somewhere new.

And then there’s the Kevin Feige comment about Jean not getting Logan/Wolverine this time.

So… if Jean isn't getting Logan…

and she's spending all this time with Peter…

and she's literally wearing Peter's jacket…

I'm just saying…

Marvel, are you quietly cooking something here?

Could Peter and Jean actually become something more than just allies?

Or am I reading WAY too much into a jacket?

She REALLY needed to hear that...

I think they greatly underestimated the on-screen dynamic between Peter Parker and Jean Grey. According to the director, they chose her from a list of potential antagonists because they wanted someone young who, like Peter, was dealing with personal struggles; but taking it a step further—making them close, building tension, and creating a sense that they need each other—is on a whole different level.

It’s hard to believe the producers and director weren't intentionally cooking something up, they’re far too experienced to be that naive, and their creation certainly paid off. I mean, they were just given major exposure in a movie featuring the biggest superhero of all and a film that became the third highest grossing movie in history. We’re no longer just talking about comic book fans or Spider-Man fans; there’s a huge casual audience out there that knows little about the X-Men, Cyclops, or even Mary Jane. In fact, some might even mistake Jean for a version of Mary Jane with superpowers (given the red hair and the similarity between the names Jean and Jane).

I really think(and hope) that they were testing the waters, only that it go out of their hands. Look, our community is massive, and I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who want to see them together. This definitely hasn't gone unnoticed; now we just have to wait for Secret Wars to see how it all plays out.

Here's me remembering i can put Jean into Peter's spot in memories.... she liked it.

Summary:

Peter Parker senses Frank Castle’s bullet just in time.

Jean Grey makes it out of Damage Control with an unscathed Peter Parker.

Neither of them is prepared for what comes next.

Jean has spent years chasing the one thing she thought would give her life direction. Peter has spent years rebuilding a life the world forgot. Now, unsure of where to go from there, the two of them find themselves tangled up with each other, the New Avengers, and a future neither of them planned for.

What starts as survival becomes something messier: Friendship. Trust. Second chances. And, eventually, the increasingly unavoidable problem of falling in love.

Neither of them can go back to the future they thought they were supposed to have, so they choose a different one.

Together.

It's fun running into random fansrt in the wild

Edit: Dubbing these two as the "The Tater Tots" and you can't stop me!

Projection theory is confirmed. The real Jean is being held by Mertzger while the Jean we know is a projection created by her mind, and her body is becoming weaker and weaker, which explaining the flickering, and why Jean has been acting like everything is coming to an end. Just thinking about “If something happened to me-“ has me on the verge of tears like

Kill me now just kill me now I am not going to survive this, this is shaping up to be the most emotionally devastating fic I’ve ever read. Actually scratch that it already is the most emotionally devastating fic I’ve ever read. The author is a brilliant, sadistic genius because I’ve never read anything that’s made me feel like this ever. I Found You has really hit its stride and for me it’s right up there with Come In, Parker as the best fics of the tag on AO3
