Marvel Team Red Fics
These fics feature Marvel’s Team Red (Matt Murdock’s Daredevil, Peter Parker’s Spider-Man, and Wade Wilson’s Deadpool) as main characters. The majority of these stories do feature MCU Peter Parker, and he has strictly platonic relationships with all the rest of Team Red and associates.

Anything by deniigiq is amazing, but I’ll list my favorite ones:
Dumpster Fires ‘Verse Series by deniigiq:
Main Fandoms (Not all listed): MCU Spider-Man (Only Spider-Man: Homecoming); Daredevil (TV); Deadpool (2016)
Featured Pairings: Matt Murdock/Wade Wilson (Only one fic, but it’s talked about a couple of times); Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson; Past Wade Wilson/Vanessa Carlysle; Matt Murdock & Peter Parker & Wade Wilson; Matt Murdock & Karen Page & Foggy Nelson; Peter Parker & Ned Leeds & Michelle Jones
Warnings: There are talks about Mental illness and descriptions of injuries
Series Summary: A “collection of Team Red stories because they are all hot messes. Except Peter. Two-Thirds of them are hot messes.”
This series follows Team Red as they get to know each other and grow as people. Besides a few instances where Matt and Wade have to show Peter the differences between being a hero and being a vigilante and discussions of physical training, the team works more as equals. There is a heavy distinction between the relationship Peter has with Team Red and the Avengers (as shown in all of deniigiq’s stories) where Peter is closer to Matt and Wade due to them having a better understanding of Peter’s life than the Avengers. The Avengers appear in some stories, but they are typically there to provide some outsider perspective. This series works to develop Peter as a street level hero.
Lighter Fluid ‘Verse Series by deniigiq:
Main Fandoms (Not all listed): MCU Spider-Man (Only Spider-Man: Homecoming); Daredevil (TV); Deadpool (2016)
Featured Pairings: Matt Murdock/Wade Wilson (Only one fic, but it’s talked about a couple of times); Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson; Past Wade Wilson/Vanessa Carlysle; Matt Murdock & Peter Parker & Wade Wilson; Matt Murdock & Karen Page & Foggy Nelson; Peter Parker & Ned Leeds & Michelle Jones
Warnings: There are talks about Mental illness and descriptions of injuries
Series Summary: Follow-up to the Dumpster Fires ‘Verse. Not in chronological Order. Mostly a continuation, but outtakes/interludes from Dumpster Fires are included.
It has everything that I like about Dumpster Fires. I think something that people will like about Peter in this story is that he separates himself more from the Avengers, specifically Tony, in this one.

Series Summary: 25-year-old Peter returns to New York to help stop the increasing crime rate. In order to do that, he reestablishes Team Red and makes a new Spider team along the way. Once back in the city, Peter and his teams endures the struggles of life while doubling as vigilantes in the night.
This series reflects on the ramifications of being a child vigilante who has grown up through Peter and his worries of how this life will affect Miles Morales, who Peter is mentoring. This story (in my opinion as someone who has not read a lot of comics based on these heroes) does a great job of combining comic book arcs with what was shown from the movies/TV series, while also creating something that is uniquely, it’s own story. I like how Matt never feels too separate from the story despite him living in San Francisco instead of New York throughout the series. This series does focus on Peter and the other Spider-Men, but Team Red is a vital aspect to the story as Peter’s relationships with Matt and Wade changes slightly due to him being an adult. Peter does work for Stark Industries, but in the grand scheme of the series, Tony does not play a big part. This series also connects to other series, one being a continuation of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), and the other focusing on Sam Chung, aka Blindspot. Both series feature Team Red, but they are not the main focus, but I would still recommend.

Summary:
“Brett sighed and looked down at the folder in his hand.
“Your name is Peter, right?”
“Lawyer.”
“Peter, we haven’t even started talking. Let’s just take a minute to ease up.”
“Lawyer.”
“Bud, we haven’t charged you with a crime. This is just talking.”
“Law. Yer.”Goddamn.
(Brett's encounters with Team Red/vigilantes and their weird fucking way of helping)
This is an interesting Outsiders POV story where the outsider is rather quickly pulled into dealing with everything vigilante and hero related. Brett Mahoney provides a cop’s perspective on living in a world where vigilantes and heroes exist, but there is some sort of separation between Brett and the other officers as Brett is tasked to deal with them because he’s the only one liked by vigilantes and heroes. That separation grows as the series continues as Brett learns more about these vigilantes/heroes and actively chooses to keep secrets for them. The story also develops the friendship between Brett and Foggy, childhood friends who, in their perspective fields, are tasked with with dealing with vigilantes and heroes, and even Brett and Matt, who you don’t see interact a whole lot with in the show. Another thing that I like about this story, and all of deniigiq’s stories, is that it puts Matt’s friendships with Foggy (relationship) and Karen on an equal standing. What I mean is, Matt is shown to be a lot more their for Foggy and Karen like they are for him and Foggy and Karen get to be a little more mean to Matt in a funny-friend way.
