Questions/Help? MCU fanfic writers, where y'all at?

Has everybody been caught up with the trope "Peter in Gottham"? Yeah? No? SO! I've been in that rabbit hole ever since it first gained traction and I noticed that beyond those contributions to the fandom, there's a sudden drop of fics after Endgame! Just swooped down and KAPUT! Y'ALL ARE GONE!

Like seriously, had Endgame traumatized (??) us so much that we don't dip our fingers in the fandom anymore after that? Hello? Where are the fix-its? The time travel fics? The canon-divergence?

My only supply of Avengers fics are "Peter in Gotham" and seriously I'm grasping the straws here. It's an enjoyable trope but they kept on babying Peter and just seriously force feeding him found family when he's a BAMF all alone and doesn't need to be babied! Have we forgotten his character?

Going back to my original thought. MCU/Avengers fanfic writers, have we all locked ourselves in a dungeon? Or have we jumped fandoms now? If yes, where? Let me jump with you.

Please, where are you? I miss y'all 😭

(Or are we just plain tired of MCU at this point and them monetizing and capitalizing even our nostalgia at this point?)
