The Emperor in the Shadows

What if... Peter Park had no Uncle Ben, no Aunt May to take him in after his parents died. In an alternate MCU, Peter Parker is force to confront the harsh realities of this world. This won't be a Spider-man story, no this is what would happen if a young, hopeful Peter Parker is pushed down a darker path. After losing the opportunity to gain his spider abilities as in most universes, Peter will instead embrace a darker power. A power that based on his choices will have consequences on the world, whether good or bad, remains to be seen.

A/N- This is an AU, circumstances have changed as well as some of the characters' personalities may vary. If you are familiar with my other work, you know I don't pull my punches when it comes to adult themes, so don't come crying that I've ruined Peter Parker. If you have a legitimate criticism I will entertain it. As always I am just a disgruntled MCU fan trying to add to the Fandom. I don't own any of Marvel's characters or stories and this is just a fan-fic. Adult content warning. It gets spicier after chapter 15.
