It's a story full of mystery and the slow - building of a relationship between two very different characters.
A possible plot is that they are both part of a team working on a project to save the city from an environmental disaster. Otto's knowledge of engineering and Mary's understanding of the local ecosystem work hand in hand.

In fanfiction, their relationship could develop into a father - son - like bond. Otto, seeing Spider - Man's potential and his sense of justice, could take it upon himself to protect and guide the young hero.

They might have heart - to - heart conversations about the responsibilities that come with great power, which could change both of their outlooks on life.

Their relationship can be developed through shared interests. For example, if they both have an interest in a particular scientific theory or discovery.

Also, introducing some external conflict, like a rival for Mary's affections or a threat to Otto's work, can make them rely on each other more and strengthen their relationship.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Otto Octavius starts mentoring a young scientist. This could lead to him reflecting on his own actions and past mistakes.
