Blessing in Disguise

A fanfiction exploring the "What if..." or the For Want of a Nail category with just how much one thing that no one ever notices in the first run of Spider-Man. So the question is:

What if the spider that bit Peter was female?

This fanfic explores just how much of a change that one little detail could make in the world of Spider-Man.

 * In Spite of a Nail: The story follows canon faithfully, as the only one whose view has changed is Peter’s and the episodes and ‘breather chapters’ do little to change things. Things will start to diverge, if slightly, near the end of season one, and two, which heads into the ‘For Want’ category.
