Stacy Duet

Stacy Duet is the family ship between Gwen and George Stacy from the Marvel and Spider-Verse fandoms.

The Amazing Spider-Man
Gwen's father is Captain George Stacy, the head of the NYPD. Gwen invites her new boyfriend, Peter Parker, over for dinner. George does not seem very impressed by him, only compounded further by the fact that Peter is the "masked vigilante" that George has been trying to arrest.

Later, when Peter sneaks in through Gwen's bedroom window, George unknowingly calls out for Gwen. He asks if she wants any hot chocolate. Gwen, panicked, says no. George begins to tease her about once dreaming of living in a "chocolate house", which Gwen calls impractical before slamming the door. After a moment she opens the door and apologizes to George, making up an excuse about having cramps. George immediately becomes uncomfortable at the topic of conversation and leaves.

When the Lizard attacks the city of New York, Gwen and Peter concoct a plan to stop him. However, George manages to arrest Peter (as Spider-Man) before he can put his plan into motion. Peter reveals his identity, and explains that he needs to be set free to rescue Gwen. George relents, valuing his daughter's safety. He sets off after the Lizard, and eventually helps Spider-Man defeat him. Unfortunately, he is fatally wounded in the battle. With his dying words, he asks Peter to promise to leave Gwen out of danger by not involving her in his superhero life.

Spider-Verse
Gwen's father is Captain George Stacy, the head of the PDNY. He has been trying to arrest the vigilante known as Spider-Woman, who is unknowingly his own daughter. Gwen has, on multiple occasions, saved her father while costumed as Spider-Woman. However, when he stumbles upon her holding the deceased body of Peter Parker after his rampage as the Lizard, George mistakenly believes that Spider-Woman killed him. This increases his feeling of animosity towards the superhero, and further strains his relationship with Gwen.

When the Vulture attacks the Guggenheim, both Gwen and George set out to stop the villain. Gwen is ambushed by her father, who points his gun at her. Unable to run away, she reveals herself as Spider-Woman. She tries to explain that she didn't kill Peter, but George begins to read her Miranda rights. Gwen, hurt by her father's betrayal, chooses to join the Spider Society. She leaves her own universe, and spends some amount of time hiding out in Hobie Brown's universe, unable to face her father.

Upon leaving the Spider Society, Hobie visits Gwen's universe and presents her father with one of Miguel's watches. He knows that Gwen will inevitably return to George, which she does. George encourages Gwen to talk to him, and she finally explains all the emotions she's been feeling for the past two years as Spider-Woman. She admits that she only ever wanted to make her father proud, and that she hates hiding part of herself from him. George quits the police officer, telling Gwen that she is the most important thing in the world to him. The two embrace, and then George gifts her Hobie's watch. Gwen sets out to save Miles, but promises she'll be back soon.
