I'm gonna go against the grain a bit and say the platform depends entirely on what flavor of symbiote story you want. If you want the classic Marvel-host drama, sure, AO3 and FF.net. But if the idea is more about exploring an original symbiotic species—like, a fantasy setting where knights bond with armor-like symbiotes, or a sci-fi noir with a psychic symbiont—you might have better luck in original fiction spaces? Places like Royal Road have a ton of serials, and I've definitely stumbled across a few there that use symbiote-like mechanics without using the trademarked terms.
Wattpad has some too, but you've gotta wade through a lot of... less polished work to find the gems. The algorithm there seems to push romance-heavy 'bad boy Venom' stuff, which isn't my cup of tea. For me, the detailed, lore-heavy original symbiote worldbuilding always seems to end up on AO3 under the 'Original Work' tag, or as a side project on a writer's personal website.
Mostly AO3. The tagging is precise. You can find stories that are purely about the symbiotic relationship, no superheroics required. Sometimes people share links to docs in Tumblr fandoms for more experimental pieces that aren't on main archives. Other platforms feel too broad or too cluttered for such a specific itch.
Honestly, AO3 is the only place I bother with anymore for this specific niche. The filters let me drill down exactly: fandom, characters (Venom, Carnage, an OC), even tags like 'Original Symbiote Character' or 'Symbiote Biology'. I've found some incredible, novel-length original symbiote AUs there that treat the symbiote as an alien species with its own culture, completely divorced from Marvel. The comment culture is generally good too, which matters for weird concepts.
I gave up on FanFiction.net for this. The search is a nightmare, and it's mostly older, Marvel-only fics. For truly original stuff, sometimes writers will post snippets or links on their personal blogs or smaller sites like Quotev, but it's scattergun. AO3's dedication to tagging original works is a game-changer.
Okay, so symbiote fanfic is a surprisingly deep well once you start digging. Most of it is, obviously, attached to specific canons like 'Spider-Man' or 'Venom', so you find the big hubs for those. AO3 is absolutely packed with symbiote-centric stuff, especially if you're into the more complex host-bond dynamics, whump, or outright horror. The tagging system there is a lifesaver for finding stories focused on characters like Eddie Brock, Venom, or even original symbiote characters.
I've also seen a decent amount on FanFiction.net, though sorting through the older archives can be hit-or-miss—lots of classic fics from the early 2000s Raimi movie era are still kicking around there. For more niche, original symbiote stories that aren't tied to Marvel, your best bet might be smaller, forum-based creative writing communities or sites like SpaceBattles or Sufficient Velocity, where people sometimes cook up entirely original universes with symbiotic lifeforms as a core concept. Those can get really creative with the rules of bonding.
The real treasure trove, though, is in the crossovers. Searching for symbiote fusions on AO3 can pull up wild stuff like Venom bonding with characters from 'My Hero Academia' or 'Teen Titans', which often ends up being a fresh take on the whole premise. Tumblr and Discord servers dedicated to symbiote art and fic are also great for finding links to independently hosted stories or Google Docs that don't live on the big archives.

Symbiote fanfiction has really sprawled across the internet, so it depends on what flavor you're after. If you're diving in fresh, Archive of Our Own (AO3) is the undisputed hub. The tagging system there is a lifesaver for navigating symbiote stories—you can filter for Eddie Brock/Venom, Venom & Spider-Man dynamics, or even the wilder stuff like Venom/Carnage symbiote mergers. The quality tends to be higher on average, with authors exploring psychological horror or weirdly sweet domestic fluff between Eddie and his other.
That said, don't sleep on some older, fandom-specific archives or even Tumblr. A lot of the classic Venom stories from the 2000s are archived on places like FanFiction.net, though the tagging is a mess. For a new reader, I'd start with AO3's 'Venom (Comics)' or 'Venom (Movie 2018)' fandom tags, sort by kudos, and you'll hit the crowd-pleasers fast. Just be prepared for a lot of 'Venom protects Eddie from a cold' fics, which are oddly charming.
Honestly, AO3 is the undisputed champion for this specific niche. Their tagging system is a lifesaver when you're hunting down something as specific as Venom crossovers. You can filter by fandom and relationship so easily, and the sheer volume of work there dwarfs everywhere else. I've found some truly bizarre but brilliant crossovers there, like Venom bonding with a character from 'The Magnus Archives' or infiltrating the 'My Hero Academia' universe. The writers on AO3 also tend to lean into the weird body horror and odd couple dynamics that make Venom so fun in the first place.
FF.net has some older gems, especially from around the 2018 movie boom, but sifting through it is a chore. Wattpad has a younger vibe and a lot of self-insert stuff, which can be hit or miss depending on your taste. For me, the depth and discoverability on AO3 make it the only place I bother checking anymore.
Venom and 'My Hero Academia' characters make for a shockingly good mashup. You see symbiotes latch onto someone like Midoriya, and suddenly the story isn't just about power, it's about that internal struggle between his innate heroism and the symbiote's primal hunger. Shinsou with a voice in his head that actively tries to corrupt his goals? That's a character study waiting to happen. Then you have the over-the-top fun of Venom bonding with someone like Katsuki Bakugo—imagine the sheer chaotic energy of two aggressive, prideful beings trying to dominate each other. It's less about horror and more about explosive personality clashes, which can be a hilarious read.
Crossing over with 'The Magnus Archives' opens a different kind of door. A symbiote isn't just an alien; it becomes an entity of The Flesh or The Slaughter, feeding on fear and trauma in a world already drowning in it. The horror becomes psychological, the bond a source of creeping dread rather than superheroics. I've seen a few where Jon Sims starts hearing another voice in his head during his tenure as Archivist, and the slow unraveling is masterfully unsettling. It's a niche within a niche, but the tonal match is uncanny.
