    Summary

    I found Obsession to be very good. After watching some interviews with the cast, someone asked if, given a second chance, Bear would have made the same wish (or some variation of it). Michael Johnston said yes. I remain unsure, so I would like to explore that in this fic on the premise that Bear gets a second chance and becomes a decent human being with a sense of accountability, and I hope with guilt for what happened. I also want all the other characters to be happy, except Bear, who has to earn it.

    Summary

    After his death, Baron "Bear" Bailey expects oblivion.

    Instead, he awakens before an enigmatic entity that forces him to confront the truth he spent his life denying. Every excuse is stripped away. Every lie he told himself is shattered. For the first time, Bear is forced to face the devastation he left behind, not as a victim of the One Wish Willow, but as the man who made the choice that started it all.

    Given one impossible chance to begin again, Bear is sent back before everything fell apart.

    Can someone who destroyed the lives of everyone he cared about truly change, or is redemption forever beyond his reach?

    A story of guilt, accountability, and the long road toward becoming a better man.

    Summary

    The universe has never been kind to Felicia Hardy, but these latest affronts may just be the worst yet - she's been saddled with taking the hardest classes of her college career, protecting New York City from super-villains, and dealing with some seriously cantankerous wizards, all at once.

    At least she doesn't have to do it all alone. Her super-hero partner, Spider-Man, is everything she could have dreamed of: noble, intelligent, handsome (probably), and brave. She may just be a little in love with him too.

    Her lab partner, Peter Parker, isn't too bad either, even if he does act a little strange sometimes...

    [AU where Black Cat has magic powers, she and Spider-Man save NYC together, don't know each other's identities, are incredibly dense, and fall in love with the right people in the wrong way]

    Summary

    Peter was tired of being the universe's punching bag. Couldn't the poor guy catch a break? After the events of Kindred, a nice calming patrol seems like a great idea. Nothing could go wrong so soon after right? Norman is reformed, Kingpin as far as he knows is keeping his hands clean. No super world ending events on the horizon...a patrol sounds nice. After all what could go wrong?
