Summary
After the spell that erased him from everyone’s memory, Peter Parker wakes up to rain, rot, and rats the size of housecats. This isn’t Queens. This isn’t New York. This is Gotham—a city from the comic books that feels like it was designed to chew people up and spit out what’s left.
With no Karen, no Avengers, no May, and no way home, Peter scrambles to survive in a city where even the shadows have teeth. As Peter tries to keep his head down, find a way to survive, and dodge a family of vigilantes who really don’t like metas (or so he thinks), he discovers Gotham isn’t all monsters and maniacs. Some of them wear masks. Some of them might even understand what it means to be young and carrying way too much.
Or: Spider-Man gets dropped in Gotham, grief in his chest, quips on his tongue, and finds a new kind of family—whether he’s ready for it or not.

Summary
or How I Became Another Universe's Unexpected Problem-Solver.
Sometimes, the universe can be wrong. Sometimes, it can be right. The spell that was meant to destroy a threat called for something different. Not a shield, nor a weapon, but a power. And now, Peter Parker must find his place while the world oh-so-desperately tries to never let him go again. Another Tuesday, really.

Summary
“If New York doesn’t want me anymore,” he said into the dusk, the words not quite a prayer and not entirely a joke, “I wish to be someplace that does.”
That's all it was, a simple wish. But magic is unpredictable and it's not done with Peter yet. Gotham wants Peter even though Peter doesn't want it. He's far from home with no way back in sight. All he can do now is build something tangible. Something real. It won't be easy, though. Not when his heart longs to be with those who have left him.

Summary
It isn’t much later that he’s shifting his feet down a chilled sidewalk lit by the weariest streetlamp Peter Parker's ever seen. Peter looks up, bracing against the cold to examine it more closely. It reminds him of the historic cast-iron lamp posts he can sometimes find in New York. The light it casts is dim, barely lighting five feet. It flickers ever so often, dead bugs lining the bottom of the lamp.
Peter can’t help but feel a little sorry for it. He glances over, intent to continue, but in the faint light something catches his eye. Above leans an old building lined with chipped pillars. Stretched across the front is a tattered banner reading, ‘Thank You Gotham City!’
If anything, the banner makes him feel very unthankful. But that must be where he is, ‘Gotham City’. Place could use a laugh.

Summary
Peter wakes up in a strange place—some unfamiliar city that feels like it's lost all hope for the future, just like he has.
After losing everything—his family, his mentor—Peter couldn’t bear the thought of watching his friends and the girl he loved fall to the same fate. He chose isolation, erasing himself from their lives to protect them from the curse of knowing him. So waking up in this unknown place almost felt like a second chance—a clean slate. No attachments. No risks. No more pain for anyone else.
But for reasons he can’t explain, Peter keeps finding people. People in need. People broken like the city itself. And no matter how hard he tries to keep his distance, he ends up helping them—again and again.
Maybe the world hasn’t given up on him just yet.
Or maybe… he hasn’t given up on it. -

Summary
Suddenly waking up in an unknown city was weird, especially considering he doesn't exist anywhere.
What was even weirder were the vigilantes following him thinking he was from the future?
And someone's kid? Huh?OR
Peter wakes up in Gotham and everyone thinks he's a certain someone's kid from the future.

Summary
A gunshot, an explosion, laughter turning to screams.
Look, Peter’s had a rough week, and that’s not even including the part where he died, because he couldn’t remember that bit. He was not going to put himself in that situation again. He couldn’t let Nightwing call anyone.
Maybe he panicked. Maybe he punched Nightwing.Or: a thirteen year old Peter and his massive amounts of trauma end up in Gotham, and he does his absolute best to avoid the people who could help him

Summary
Peter Parker does not know how he got where he is. Speaking of, he doesn't exactly know where he is either. What he does know is he is falling from the sky, and fast. And that crash landing isn't going to be pretty.
Or:
Peter finds himself expelled from his universe and dropped into a new one, having to deal with the mounting issues of self-doubt, a dangerous and rapidly changing environment, and a frankly concerning number of costumed people. When walking the fine line between hero and criminal, can he balance his normal life, his life inside the League of Assassins, and his life as a do-gooder, feeding information to his local bat-themed vigilante family? And most importantly, will he ever make it back home? Or will he find a new home in a new world with new people.

Summary
Peter siente cambios en su cuerpo, cuando llegó a ese mundo alternativo algo dentro de él comenzo a cambiar y solo optó en ignorarlo. Era una araña hambrienta y congelado hasta los huesos, y en lo único que podía pensar es en saciar esas necesidades básicas
Buscando un trabajo para comprar comida y un lugar cálido para dormir
Y lo consigue, trabajando como fotógrafo para la revista "Gotham Gazette"
Sin embargo, como siempre la suerte nunca estaba de su lado. De un momento a otro su vista se nubló y su cuerpo ardió de calor como si hubiera pescado un resfriado, cosa que no ha ocurrido en años. No obstante, no se sentía cansado, ni vulnerable, al contrario, empezó a desear por algo que no entendía
O al menos así era hasta que unos ligeros pasos aterrizaron a unos metros de él, escuchando unos susurros llenos de insultos a su persona, pero lo más importante es que captó ese olor dulce que calmaba el calor en su cuerpo
Peter quería ese olor impregnado en él
Y en un solo movimiento la araña había acorralado a su presa
O: En donde Peter llega al mundo DC A/B/O y su cuerpo "cambia" para adaptarse al nuevo mundo, y ese cambio lleva grandes consecuencias

Summary
Peter felt the pain of his body trying to knit itself together even as it was torn apart. His spidey-sense screaming at him of the danger, danger that he couldn't escape. He begged anyway, begged Mr. Stark to save him. He knew it wasn't fair on the man... he did it anyway. Holding back tears, Peter apologized to his mentor as he fades away into dust.
Green, a bright fluorescent Green fills his vision, he's drowning in it. Drowning. He can't breathe, the green fills his nostrils, his mouth, his lungs. Until he isn't, he's not drowning and he breathes in desperately, coughing out the green liquid as he greedily gasps for air.
There's no one to tell Peter he's okay, not the warming presence of his Aunt, the scent of cinnamon to fill his nostrils, nor the motor oil he'd become so familiar with from his mentor. He was well and truly alone in this cold, dark world.
Would he find a way home? Or would he have to create a new one in the unfamiliar world?
(I've set this work as Mature for the heavy mentions and depictions of self-harm and suicidal thoughts)

Summary
Just before the battle with Thanos, Dr Strange pulls together enough power to send one person to a different dimension. A chance for that person to be safe from the destruction that Thanos was about to wrought on Earth. The group about to fight agreed that Peter Parker, for sheer virtual of being the only person not an adult there, would get the dubious honor.
Which is how Peter finds himself waking up in Gotham City, a place even crueler and darker than New York City. Peter has to try to find a way to fit into this new universe at just sixteen years old.
"I am still just your butler, and I cannot simply tell you that you will be adopting a new son. But I truly am not getting younger. You have seven children now, even if you haven’t adopted all of them legally. There is much more work than when it was just you and I. There is perhaps too much work for just myself, and then providence dropped a starving young man into my pathway for me to mold into a new generation of caretaker,” Alfred tried to explain himself.
Or
Alfred finds himself doing the adopting instead of Bruce, this time of a spider. Can Spider-Man become a first rate butler and keep his secret identity?

Summary
Peter’s gotten used to Gotham by now. The thousand little sounds that build up to the cacophony of a city in controlled chaos. But it isn’t home, and it never will be, and the more time passes, the more that thought makes him twitch. He’s frustrated by it, annoyed that he feels like he’s forcing his way through a world that doesn’t belong to him. Worse, the Soul Stone is starting to become more and more of an issue. As if it senses something coming.
Tony's last words had been 'the threat always comes back.' Thanos won't be thwarted forever, only delayed. Eventually, he's going to hunt down the stray Soul Stone that Peter holds.
The Bats have a few opinions on that. The Avengers that have fallen into this other world have a few of their own. And there's the problem of Dr. Strange's letter...

Summary
A thousand hands reached out, and a thousand voices echoed, each one a unique rendition of the myriad versions of everyone who had ever cherished him. They all merged together, swirling in a chaotic dance of memories.
He looked familiar enough—his spark ignited the air with familiar warmth. But his eyes… those eyes were a cavernous depth that seemed to stretch on for miles, reflecting an emptiness that swallowed the light. When he gazed upon his younger brother, instead, he saw only a hollow shell of what he used to be, weighed down by past experiences that echoed through his being.
This was not their Peter.
Inside him resided a cacophony of memories that collided within the confines of his mind. They tugged at him, their phantom hands pulling him under, desperate to reclaim what had been lost. If he surrendered to the weight of his grief, if he finally ceased the endless battle for survival, this universe's Peter might have found a chance to exist. Yet, with each suffocating moment, every fierce struggle, he remained engulfed in sorrow, fleeing from the inevitable, searching for a way to untangle this dire web, a way to rescue Peter Benjamin Wayne Parker from the clutches of despair.

Peter is going through it okay. He’s had a rough year. And now he’s god knows where with god knows who? No wonder he runs, and fights,
And just cut him some slack! Gotham is not a nice place. Even though he gets taken in by the hot-who said that-guy named Jason.Or.
Peter lands in a pile of green sludge in a place called Gotham. He makes some friends. Some enemies. AND WILL GODDAM BRUCE GET OFF HIS BACK! Oh and a (sorta) familiar face!
