[Glitched into the closet of the brother I have a crush on]
[...No way, why is big brother Spider-Man?!]
Magical closet × Backrooms × superheroes in a Sentinel and Guide universe
Younger heroine, 187 cm, champion athlete, centaur, big sis's favorite
VS. a dad-mom-big-brother all-in-one, only 176 cm tall but with an imposing presence, the boy next door
Mutual pining × bickering couple × superhero coming-of-age pains
*
Five years after the Snap, Peter Parker returns and sees Mr. Stark, a mentor and father figure to him, sacrifice himself, only to witness him come back from the dead at the funeral.
Tony Daddy, wearing sunglasses and holding a Bero: "Oh, my dear friends, look at your faces! I hereby declare the funeral over and the party officially started!"
Peter, who hasn't even wiped away his tears: What on earth is going on?
Later, after his identity is maliciously exposed, Stark Industries aggressively acquires the Daily Bugle to turn public opinion around. The company announces the recruitment of a new generation of superheroes and officially appoints him as their leader, to fight the Backrooms' rule-based urban legends invading the world.
The young man, inexperienced in the ways of the world, is forced to shoulder one glorious title after another.
"Son of Stark," "leader of the next generation," "the next Iron Heart"... The pressure leaves him gasping for breath.
And to make matters worse, his girl-next-door has put him into practice.
"Mia, why are you hiding in my closet?"
"I'm sorry, big brother..."
"But you smell so good, big brother..."
Nooo! My childhood sweetheart has differentiated as an S-class Sentinel!
...Later...
"Big brother, can you hit me?"
"Of course. You did very well. You'll get a reward."
[Reader's guide]
1. This story features an extensive Sentinel and Guide universe. A Guide can bond with only one personal Sentinel in their lifetime, and vice versa. If one of them dies, the other would rather die too.
2. They are five years apart in age before the Snap, and the same age after the Snap. Calling each other big brother and little sister is just a playful thing between childhood friends, nothing else.
3. Prepare for angst: Iron Man can compete in the resurrection round because a mutated bug, after a memory-erasing spell takes effect, travels into the past in a version with little time left to live. He sacrifices himself to secure a happy ending for everyone else. Other than the heroine, who accidentally discovers his plan, no one knows.
4. The heroine is a centaur with the superpower of gravity control and two forms: human and centaur. Due to her species' nature, she enjoys pain. With no special kinks of his own, the bug falls apart internally while patiently learning how to "take care of" his little sister.
💙 The bug's spirit animal is a lion (born August 10, 2001, a Leo).
Mia's spirit animal is a "Black Knight" Friesian horse.
# By day, he's a superhero leader. Why does he "sell" his body at night to earn someone's loyalty? #
# We ask fate again and again: how can we grow into better versions of ourselves? #
Theme: You and I are both young and carefree
