Summary
Three schools since the start of the year. That’s how many schools Bruce had attended and been subsequently expelled from.
Bruce Banner wouldn't call himself a bad kid. A good kid? No way. A good kid would let himself be bullied, maybe tell a teacher and hope even when no help came, a good kid would keep a lid on his anger, a good kid would stop making life harder for his mom— On second thoughts, maybe he was a bad kid. Either way, he never meant to hurt anybody, but he just couldn't help but fuck everything up for everybody around him. He couldn't help but blow up whenever he got angry. He didn't like being angry.
Now, in his new school, he had an opportunity for a fresh start, even if he didn't expect it to last long. Instead, in an unlikely turn of events including buses, brothers, and a troupe of guard dogs, Bruce befriended some of the most popular kids in school, and now people were leaving him alone. But, in place of them, there are suspicious whispers, dangerous secrets, and one of the few things that Bruce really should smash, but it wants to smash him first.
This could get him in jail, or even dead. But, hey, at least he'll be doing it with Thor.

Summary
Peter had been avoiding this coffee shop for weeks. It had been the one he went to daily right up until the end of the school year, just before summer, but then the barista he'd befriended had asked him out on a date, and he'd really only seen her as just that: a friend. He let her down gently and ran off before anything else could be said, and he hadn't looked back, absolutely terrified of disappointing anybody, and yet it seemed that it was the only thing he knew how to do these days. It was a doomed sort of existence.
Peter Parker officially had no one. Ish. Spider-Man had people, but Peter Parker didn't. His friends were gone, his parents were dead, so was his uncle, his aunt was right on their heels, and he was about to head into senior year already one leg in the grave, and that was an impressive statement for a seventeen-year-old boy. But now he's encountered a country boy who's too sexy for his own good and is glued to Peter's hip, and maybe this won't end badly for once. But everybody has their secrets, and either they get exposed or tear things down. Peter knew that all too well.

Summary
Peter Parker had cried all his life because without pain, there was nothing left of Peter Parker but coffee stains on his second-hand textbooks and a half-finished Lego set gathering dust on his shelf.

Summary
This was it, Peter was sure. This was how Spider-Man went out, protecting his city. This was how Peter Parker went out, protecting his family. This was how he died, alone and terrified and unable to rest in the peace of knowing those he loved were safe because they weren't. He had failed and he had died. Even with his heart still beating, just barely, he had died the second he knew he could protect them no longer.
Peter Parker is almost certain that the universe is out to get him under any circumstances, simply due to the fact that the trajectory of his life seems to get exponentially more concerning. His parents died. Then his uncle and aunt died—both due to his own negligence. Now he has died himself, and, yet, unlike them, he is still walking, cold and dead yet awake and moving a so full of fear and doubt. He doesn't know how he's going to navigate any of this.

Summary
As he approached the lab, he paused to stare through the glass door when he noticed something very different within the lab—a second person, presumably the one Tony was to introduce Peter to. Tony was sitting in the corner of the room, engrossed in his phone with one thing or another, while the other person, the boy, was tinkering at one of the workbenches, and Peter was now completely prepared to defend the existence of love at first sight, something he had avidly denied in the past, with his life and more, as he was smitten beyond belief.
It doesn't take much for Peter and Harley, two impressively idiotic geniuses, to fall in love. It does, however, take a whole lot of effort for the pair to simply cough up these feelings and kiss already, because, as Harley is convinced, whatever god is out there is looking down on them and laughing at their fumbling, stumbling love story like some shitty rom-com on Netflix that's run on for five too many seasons by now.

Summary
Peter, all things considered, was a very, very nice boy. He helped kittens out of trees and old ladies across the street, he never raised his voice at May and always did his chores, he never misbehaved at school and (almost) always got his homework in on time. But, agreeable to many's belief that no one could be as nice as Peter was, not even Peter himself, he was constantly about an inch and a half from strangling Flash half to death and punching a hole in the skull of every mugger he fought. Every forced smile, every held back attack was a chip on Peter's shoulder, whittling him down until he would finally crack. Today was that day.
Peter Parker has spent his whole life pushing down his anger for the sake of other's, even as it killed him inside not to punch Flash in the face a little every now and then. He was going to snap one way or another, but Peter hadn't exactly expected it to have built up that much, nor did he expect Tony to have picked up another genius kid, especially one that did such a good job of quelling all the emotions tingling uncomfortably beneath his skin.

Summary
The gentle thump of boots hitting the ground echoed off the alley walls, surrounding Steve. He knew he would come. He always did. A proud grin crossed Steve’s face as he opened his eyes, flashing his teeth to the man standing over him, slightly stained with blood that had gotten into his mouth. The face that stared back at him was warm yet disappointed, shaking his head slightly as he knelt down. A large hand ruffled his hair, which he gladly leaned into. “When’re you gonna stop getting yourself beat up like this?” the man asked with a soft smile. James Bucky Barnes, Steve’s best friend. That was the part that Steve was unhappy about. Best friend. That was all it was, when he felt so much more. So many words stayed trapped in his heart, longing to be screamed out into the night like a desperate prayer.
The year is 1936. Steve is getting beat up, like usual, for fighting people he stands no chance against. But he's happy because Bucky is here. Yet he's also sad because Bucky isn't here in the way he wants him to be. Poor Steve, right? Wrong. This is his own fault. They're both under the same miserable impression that the other is straight and they're both too blind to see past the assumption.

Summary
The dream always starts the same. Every time, it’s the same torture over and over again. He always found himself trapped in his past, sitting on that chair like he was glued to it, Pierce standing over him, unmerciful as usual. The fluorescent lights cast an eerie yellowish glow down on the room like an aged black-and-white photo, and no matter how much the room smelled like cleaning chemicals, he could still smell the blood through it–beneath his nails, in the cracks of his skin, inside his head and eating him up from the inside like an incurable disease. Well, maybe not literally inside his head. But the images of it certainly were.
Bucky is no longer the Winter Soldier. He is a hero in a stable relationship. But that doesn't mean he's allowed to forget his past.

Summary
Peter was truly thrilled when the Avengers relented and allowed him to become an official member of the team without any more information about his identity other than “he isn’t that old yet.” That was six months ago now, and he’s become a reliable member of the team, all while keeping his identity and civilian life a secret. It’s a tough juggle, especially with his tendency to ramble, but it’s one he succeeds in nonetheless, even if it is only by the skin of his teeth.
In a world where civil war was resolved and Peter never had to get involved, he makes his way into the Avengers by his own methods. Yet no one knows that he's seventeen, and he will most definitely be babied and probably kicked off the team if they find out. How will he avoid the consequences when his mask is removed by them, and how will his methods create even more consequences?

Summary
Every piece of him looks the same: brown hair greying at the bottom, a slightly grown-out beard that has clearly practically brawled with the comb that tried to get it to behave, subtle crow’s feet wrinkles at the edges of his eyes. The familiar style of the suit, a classic white shirt and black shirt, accessorised with a black bow tie, feels like home to Peter. The one that he lost.
When Tony was believed to be dead after saving the universe from Thanos’ snap, in reality, his soul was thrown into a different universe, in a city much rougher than his New York was. After an accident while battling a villain, Peter was dragged off to a whole new world that he couldn't return from, filled with villains more sadistic and psychopathic than the ones he’d fought in his old home. Once he finds himself taken in by a billionaire and his (frankly concerning) horde of children who fight crime with the cover of darkness as their protector, he is pulled into an all-too familiar world of galas, money, and bourgeoisie he once experienced with his now presumably dead father figure. Will all his turmoil end when he discovers he’s been much closer to Tony than he thought for longer than he could’ve imagined?
