(UPDATE - September 4, 2022 - I am currently REWRITING this fic! Please do not be alarmed if things change. I wrote this over a year ago and still like the concept, but I hate the way I executed it. This fic will be cross-posted on AO3 as soon as I rewrite it.) 16 year-old Eddie Brock tries to do good. He's doing his best, well, the best he can do with a homicidal symbiote inside him. He stops robberies, muggings, but is it really a good deed if the other person ends up down his digestive system? Probably not, but it's one of the only things he can do to shut Venom up. And apparently the Avengers think that it's not exactly morally correct, too. This is an MCU AU, and I'm going to be basing Eddie more on his Venom (2018) counterpart in terms of personality. Also in this fic, Civil War didn't happen. Pietro still dies in Age of Ultron, but Bruce is still on Earth. This AU would take place after Spider-Man: Homecoming, around the autumn of 2017. Expect some angst and gore, I mean this IS Venom, however, I'll put a TW before the chapter. Disclaimer: All characters are property of Marvel, Disney, and Sony.
