Yeah, Gwen's kind of a putz when it comes to this feelings stuff:
As pointed out elsewhere, Spider-Gwen seems to fit the 'cool loser' stereotype: she's pretty, headstrong, a member of a locally famous band and she doesn't have the personality deficiencies of either Harry or Peter. Despite this, either by choice or being ostracized by association, she's never shown as having a wider social circle like 616 Gwen. One flashback even shows that she and Peter sat alone at lunch despite the scene itself establishing that Gwen is outgoing and very much capable of of making friends:
She even lacks the fatal flaw of most Peters: initial selfishness. The reason changes, but the end result of every origin story is that Peter lets a robber get away and said robber then shoots Ben. What makes this unfair in Gwen's case it that she
didn't. The annual shows her debating briefly but ultimately going back to stop the robber, saving Ben's life in the process:
Gwen also used her powers to defend Peter from his bullies. Maybe she could've handled it better by teaching him self defense, but still. Essentially,
she did everything right. Despite this she still gets screwed over, and it's arguably worse than 616 since at least he wasn't accused of murdering Uncle Ben with his bare hands. At this point me and many others are convinced that God damn spider bite is a curse and that the second you get bitten you
will spend the rest of your life taking it up the rear end. Only difference is how you're gonna get screwed.
With regards to your fic ideas, I can see it. There's actually a fanfic I saw on fanfiction that tied into this similar idea called Venom is the Cure. Essentially the bridging happens except Gwen becomes comatose for five years instead till Venom, after being separated from Peter earlier, finds her and revives her, turning her to Gwenom. Gwen struggles with her rage at having five years of her life taken and Norman
still being alive mixed with her desire not to go too far in indulging Venom's bloodlust. She also still loves Peter, who remained devoted to her, but finding out he was Spider-Man mixed with Venom's cocktail of feeling rejected and still loving Peter...kinda unbalances her -

I skipped ahead to chapter 2 since 1 seems to be just the clocktower and set up.
