Buddy Crawley (earth-1701)'s Literatures

Although his first experience in Spider HQ was, pardon the French, shitty, it awakened something in Asad, something he can't stop himself from chasing.

Takes place directly after The ability to bullshit.

Asad keeps coming back to Earth-1701 in different forms because he made a friend, Buddy, but Buddy tells him it's dangerous for him to stay. He has the bright idea to bring Asad—as Ruddy—to Spider Society in the hopes Miguel will explain why. It goes about as well as you'd think.

Alternatively, the first time Asad meets Miguel.
