I Am A Cat's Eye — 1: Un malheur ne vient jamais seul

Summary —

After losing everything and everyone in his life due to the Mysterio incident, Peter Parker begins his new life in college. Unbeknownst to him, the cat that appears at his window after patrol is more than just a flea ridden stray.

[Platonic] Peter Parker x reader.

Misfortune never comes alone, and Peter Parker knew that better than anyone else.

After Mysterio revealed his identity to billions of people worldwide, consequently putting his friends and family in danger, he understood exactly what this saying meant, and after trying to repair everything, he just brought more misfortune upon himself and ruined everything.

Now he lives in a small, rundown apartment in NYC, trying to reclaim the life he was supposed to leave behind. It was like a dog chasing its own tail, but never succeeding.

Police sirens and incomprehensible chatter fill the city's nocturnal atmosphere. The young hero sits upon a rooftop. Patrol started a long time ago, but surprisingly, there hasn't been any major criminal activity all night long in the oh-so-friendly neighborhood of Queens.

Unusual.

""There isn't anything going on right now. Maybe I should go home earlier," the boy contemplated. "It's a school night. I better go home." He then swung back home. Reaching his window, he noticed something on his windowsill. It was small and furry. He reached to touch the fur ball when it suddenly turned around, revealing a small cat. It looked malnourished and dirty.

“"Hey, little guy," Peter tried to soothe the kitten. It hissed at him. "Calm down! I'm not gonna hurt you, little dude." At that, the cat seemed to calm down a little but still stayed in an attack stance. Once the cat calmed down, Peter tried to pet it again, this time succeeding, but the feline didn't react positively nor negatively to his touch, it seemed too tired and weak to move for now.

“"Stay here, I'll get you something to eat." Peter felt guilty for leaving the poor kitten outside in the cold, but he couldn't risk a flea infestation in his already shabby apartment. Once in the kitchen, he got some leftover chicken from the fridge and went back to feed the cat. When he got into his room, he saw it.

The cat.

The flea-ridden, dirty, malnourished, and sick cat.

In his bed.

He couldn't have left his window open, could he?!

He did, and now he needs new bed sheets.

The reader's cat and "human" appearance is based off Izutsumi (Dungeon Meshi), but I'll make their descriptions as ambiguous as possible.

I'm writing everything that comes into my head on the go, so this might not be good. 😭

thank you for reading!

CHAPTER 2 — to be added

5. 10, 11 :D

5. “You’ve posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you’d written it?”

A couple of things I’ve noticed.... a) Overuse of a particular word. I don’t have one word across all my fics, but I tend to fixate on words for periods of time so within one fic you might notice one word (usually an adjective) that’s come up a disproportionately high number of times. b) a female OC that’s pretty well-rounded, apparently. I base my female OCs on people I know personally so they tend to be very fleshed out and I’ve gotten lots of positive comments on them. c) music references to Japanese artists like MIYAVI or One OK Rock or Sheena Ringo lol.

10. “What’s a theme that keeps coming up in your writing?”

My two biggest ones are the definition of family and work-life balance. Other people might be able to come up with others, but those are the two biggest ones, I think.

11. “What kind of relationships are you most interested in writing?”

Oh man that’s hard. I like relationships that grow over time more than instantly-hit-it-off type relationships. I like writing about healthy & unhealthy relationships juxtaposed next to each other. And I like writing about deep loyalty and true friendship, whether it’s romantic or not - I like writing about when those relationships run into externally-imposed trouble but the characters just feel pulled back together again no matter what happens.
