    Summary

    It’s not like anything changed much.

    Peter is usually great brushing off all the shit everyone gives him for being himself. It usually doesn’t matter what they think; what anyone thinks really.

    So why is it getting so hard for him to do that recently?

    Summary

    Aunt May isn't picking up.

    She isn't picking up and Peter is crying, crying so hard it's breaking his entire body, shuddering and gasping and that sea of static is bringing him under, drowning him beneath the surface he's trying to break through. He's going to die, he's going to die beneath the waves and the tears and the hand clasped on his mouth is harsh, the air unable to get through his nose and to his lungs. The blood on his forehead is cold now, sticky and in his hair, his eyebrows and drooling down the side of his face. Aunt May isn't picking up and Peter is falling apart.

    So, he calls the only person he has left.

    He calls Mr. Stark.

    Summary

    It all started with the stupid game.

    ~~~

    "Who has the darkest Backstory?" Clint clears up. I nearly choke on my coffee.
    "Not funny Clint. He’s exaggerating.” Natasha swats his arm.
    "That sounds awful why would you play a game like that?" I reasonably respond. Clint opens his mouth to speak when Mr. Stark jumps in.
    "Because we're bored, and quite honestly Pepper suggested it for like team-building exercises or whatever in light of everything that's happened. It's supposed to be a therapeutic or something like that, but I don't question what the lady wants... She's always right you know." He chuckles, then takes a breath.

    "So... You wanna play kid?"

    ~~~

    That question messed me up, because I know who wins that argument.
    If only I had known then, that was far from worst of it.

    WARNING: This is an extremely dark piece of work which is just constantly hurting Peter Parker over and over in many ways. It get's very violent and graphic and I missed some tags, so caution NSFW.

    This is basically retelling stories that canonically happened to Peter with a dark twist, plus new stories I made up for more trauma, as well as my interpretation of Peter Parker's future.

    Summary

    There were bad days, but Peter always powered through them to get to the good.

    They burned the remains of the Black Spider suit, and he burned the remains of that person in his soul.

    The Black Spider may have existed once, but he didn’t anymore. He was buried at the bottom of a HYDRA base with the Scarlet Spider, with all the bad things he’d done and all the blood that soaked his hands.

    Peter was just trying to clean them. He was just searching for the shade of his skin through all the red. He’d get there one day.

    Summary

    He needed to sleep but lately he’d been forgetting what that was like.

    Lately, he’d been spending his nights pacing his room, trying to stop the images of a mangled body from slipping into his mind.

    He'd see the guns, see himself, see blood smeared across his knuckles.

    He forced those images from his mind and they were only replaced with his Mom. With Pepper, on her knees as the compound crumbled around them.

    Summary

    Tony had never wanted a son because he didn’t want to be a father.

    Because, fathers, to Tony, were strict, cruel and condescending. They lacked a belief in their children, talked down to them and made them cry at night. Fathers ignored their sons, fathers berated their sons, fathers posed for cameras with their sons as if they were proud of them, but immediately turned their backs once the reporters went away.

    Tony didn’t know how to be any other kind of father.

    Summary

    “If Fury finds out about this, we’re in deep shit,” Tony said.
    “Fury’s not going to find out,” Pepper replied. “Also, language.”
    “I’ve killed a man,” Peter said, mild, “I know about the word ‘shit’.”
    “Peter.”
    “Also, ‘fuck’. That’s a good one.”

    OR

    Pepper and Tony just want to go on a Valentine's Day date, and they decide to leave Peter alone in the house to do so. Peter, with his first taste of freedom, breaks the number one rule: don't let anyone in the house.

    Summary

    Peter found Pepper in the living room.

    “I started Pride and Prejudice last night and I’m almost finished with it-”

    “You’re almost done?”

    Peter nodded, producing the book from behind his back. He had about fifty pages left; when he’d started reading the night before, he couldn’t stop. He’d fallen asleep around four AM, and upon waking, just started right back up where he left off.

    “I’ll probably be finished by dinner, but Bucky told me there was a movie?” Pepper’s smile widened. “I was wondering if you wanted to watch it tonight?”

    AKA

    Peter is really into Jane Austen, okay.

    Summary

    “I don’t need a babysitter,” Peter grumbled as he sank into the sofa, arms crossed tightly over his chest.

    “SHIELD says otherwise,” Pepper replied, her voice light.

    “I’m seventeen,” Peter shot back. “I can look after myself.”

    “I don’t doubt that,” Pepper replied. “But you’re not allowed to look after yourself.”

    “You know, once,” Peter said, as if she hadn’t spoken, “I got shot in the alps and I dug the bullet out all by myself and got myself back to base and I completed my mission to assassinate the ambassador from Sweden.”

    Pepper paused, behind him. She then planted a kiss on the top of his head. “That is horrifying. Never tell me about that again."

    -

    Bucky volunteers to look after Peter for the weekend and Natasha just wants to hang out with her favourite spider.

    Summary

    “No way,” Flash said, when he heard. “Stark Industries doesn’t even hire high schoolers.”

    Peter shrugged, schooling his face to remain unbothered. “Yet here I am.”

    So the rumour spread that Peter Parker, top of the class and the only competent member of the track team, had a Stark Industries internship. That made it more difficult when Miss Adler, the Chemistry teacher, announced their field trip there.

    Summary

    If there was one thing everyone said, every time they thought of the woman Pepper Stark, they said this: “She’s the strongest woman I’ve ever seen.”

    In the span of three months, both Peter and Tony Stark went missing, assumed dead. Even when Tony came back from Afghanistan with a suit of armour and a glowing blue heart, Peter was still gone.

    Don’t believe what the reporters said, Tony and Pepper Stark never once stopped looking for their son.
