HarryMJ

HarryMJ is the het ship between Mary Jane Watson and Harry Osborn from the Marvel fandom.

Spider-Man (2002-2007)
Harry, Mary Jane, and Peter Parker attend high school together. Harry and Peter are close friends, whereas Mary Jane is Peter's neighbour and the object of his affections. Harry knows about Peter's crush, and will sometimes tease him about it. After acquiring his new super powers, Peter engages in a fight with the school bully, Flash Thompson. Mary Jane and Harry watch on. When Mary Jane implores Harry to do something and help "him", Harry asks "which one?".

After high school graduation, Harry and Mary Jane begin dating. Despite knowing about the feelings Peter harbors, Harry makes the first move on Mary Jane. He also "forgets" to tell Peter about their new relationship. Harry hopes that, by dating Mary Jane, he can gain the respect of his father. He brings Mary Jane as his date to the World Unity Festival. When the Green Goblin attacks, the two are separated. Mary Jane is saved by Spider-Man, and begins to fall for him. It is unknown to either Harry or Mary Jane that Spider-Man is really Peter Parker.

Harry tries to have a family dinner with his father, Norman, Mary Jane, Peter, and Peter's Aunt May. When Norman realizes Peter's superhero identity, he tries to leave the dinner. Harry begs him to stay, but Norman insults Mary Jane before leaving. Mary Jane calls Norman a "creep" in response, but Harry defends his father. Mary Jane then storms out of the apartment. A few days later, Harry sees Mary Jane and Peter together in May Parker's hospital room. He senses that they are forming feelings for each other and storms out. He tells his father that he was right to say those things about Mary Jane, and that is the end of their relationship.

In Spider-Man 2, Harry causes a public scene with Peter and accuses him of stealing Mary Jane away from him. It is revealed that Harry has gone to see Mary Jane's play twice, whereas Peter hasn't even been once.

In Spider-Man 3, Harry hits his head and suffers from amnesia. He forgets everything about his poor break-up with Mary Jane and his animosity towards Spider-Man. Their friendship returns to the way that it was in high school, and all three seem incredibly happy about this. Harry and Mary Jane become closer as Peter pulls away from them, thanks to the venomized suit that he now wears. Harry invites Mary Jane over to cook dinner, and the two seem to flirt with each other. After eating, they read from a play that Harry wrote in high school. Mary Jane comments on the lack of scar on Harry's forehead, running her hands through his hair. They kiss, but Mary Jane instantly regrets it. She runs out of Harry's home. He tries to chase her, but can't catch up with her.

This pain unlocks Harry's memories, and he decides to use Mary Jane to get back at Spider-Man. He convinces her to break-up with Peter, by telling him that she's in love with "another man". Harry then meets Peter at a cafe and confesses to being Mary Jane's new boyfriend. When Mary Jane is later kidnapped by Venom, Harry puts on his New Goblin suit and sets out to save her. He works together with Spider-Man in an attempt to rescue Mary Jane, but ends up sacrificing himself.

Peter and Mary Jane rush to his side, and he dies in their arms.

Fanon
HarryMJ is a rather well-known ship in the Spider-Man fandom, due heavily to their inclusion in the first live-action Spider-Man film series. While Mary Jane was slated to appear in The Amazing Spider-Man series, her scenes were inevitably cut from the second film. Neither Harry nor Mary Jane (as we know her in the comics) have made an appearance in the MCU Spider-Man films. However, due to reigning popularity of PeterMJ and the fact that HarryMJ hasn't made an appearance in live action in nearly two decades, the ship does not have very many fans.

There are currently over 100 works on AO3 for this ship. It is most often rivalled by PeterMJ and Parksborn.
