Archive? You'd better.

Warnings: Raunchy series, all on rooftops in NY. Spidey has natural webs.

Pairing: Venom / Spiderman?

Every symbiote has a fantasy...

A/U

Rooftop Spyder: Bride in Black

How very interesting.

A dark, inky shape perched atop an apartment building, watching mayhem below. Sirens lit the night with spinning lights. Car crashes filled the air with harsh, grating sound. Panicked citizens skittered everywhere, screaming.

To Venom it was music, a sweet symphony. Wild white eyes practically glowed in appreciation at the sight. He watched in excitement as a huge arachnid ran through city traffic wreaking havoc. A long tongue coiled the air.

So, that is the Spider. We sensed as much.

Moments later the Fantastic Four entered the fray. Venom spat, annoyed.

What? The Thing fights our Spider. Miserable wretch! We should interfere, smother his gross form.

The symbiote laughed as Peter knocked the brutish Thing clear across a busy intersection.

HEE HEE. Well struck, Spider. So strong in that form! Very impressive.

Venom oozed atop a chimney, reforming and peering down. Peter and the Thing continued their titanic struggle, cracking pavement.

The blood is strong, this we knew. It was foolish for Peter to deny it. Now it burns, he has no control. We warned him! And now the idiots fear his new form. Why? It is beautiful.

A sick giggle. We'd make lots of pretty babies! Little spider symbiotes, all running free. Covering innocents in a safe web of protection. He is ripe to succumb.

Venom sighed, resting his chin in his hands. A lovely thought. The mutant Gambit gave an excellent suggestion about a ring. We will ruin his plans. The Spider is ours, and we decide how to share.

The symbiote went off into a dreamlike state. Share...

A dark, lightning crashed night illuminated a red marble church on a hill. Inside, a ceremony was taking place. Five symbiotes of various colors sat in the congregation, shrieking and howling with glee. Tendrils flayed about erratically.

Carnage stood at an altar, clad in deep purple robes. Two figures stood before him.

One long, clawlike hand raised. And now we are here to join this spider and symbiote in marriage. Present the ring!

Venom cackled, showing a ring to his beloved. Spiderman smiled, holding his hand out.

Carnage snickered. Now then, boys...the good part! Do you, Venom, take Peter Parker, aka Spiderman, as you partner in mayhem?

Venom leered, lolling his tongue. We do!

Carnage turned to Peter. And do you, Parker, take Venom as your partner in freaky matrimony?

The Spider nodded. "I do."

Then by the alien interest vested in us, we pronounce you bonded and tied. Everyone may kiss whatever they want!

The five other symbiotes screeched, tossing pews and wrecking furniture in celebration.

Daddy got hitched! Daddy got married!!

Venom grabbed Spiderman, pulling his mask off. The pair tongue kissed deeply. Carnage cackled insanely, pointing. Easy, boys. Wait until I get my camcorder!

Thank you. We carry Spider over the threshold! Venom bounded out of a church window, Spiderman in tow. Peter blew kisses, throwing flowers at the other symbiotes.

Venom blinked, shaking himself free of the fantasy. Perhaps we need another tactic. he glanced below, seeing cleanup efforts now replacing battle.

Our Spider flees into the night. It is good. We must make preparations for the future. For ourselves, and our little ones!

Howling like a happy loon, Venom bounded away.
