    Summary

    Seven Years Ago when Tony Stark went missing in Afghanistan, his almost eight year old son, Peter James Edwin Stark, was placed in foster care. When Tony returned, it was to the news that his son had been killed when a fire had broken out in the foster home and only the neglectful caretakers survived the blaze.

    Now, one year after Ultron and Sokovia, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts have decided to act as foster parents in an attempt to keep what happened to Peter from happening to anyone else. Of course, the spider-themed vigilante in town may make this venture that much harder. Can’t Tony just get a break?

    Peter Parker has no memory of his life before he was 7. He’s spent the last seven years in foster care wishing nothing more than to find a forever family. He thought the Parkers were going to be that family, but an unfortunate accident two years ago left Peter and their three children once again at the mercy of the system.

    When Peter fights back against his foster father, Skip Westcott, he and his foster siblings end up at Avengers Tower, Peter has to figure out how to hide his nightly activities and Tony needs to figure out just why this teenager and his dead son have so much in common.

    Summary

    Tony didn’t even know when he started getting jealous of Happy.
    It had been nice, at first, watching him and Peter get so close. Tony couldn’t be around all the time, and Happy still lived in the city, mostly to be close to May, so it was reassuring to have someone watching the kid’s back while he was watching Morgan’s.
    It had also helped, in a cynical sort of way, that Peter struggled with the transition. After all, he’d come back from the Snap to his aunt in an entirely new relationship. Not only that, she was in a relationship with someone the kid knew. There were bound to be growing pains, and Tony was the one Peter always went to with them, ranting through video chats at 2:00 am. It had made him feel important, like he was becoming part of the kid’s structural foundation.
    And then Happy had moved in with the Parkers, which had thrown everyone for a loop, and the months had blended together, and suddenly Happy was an integral part of Peter’s structural foundation, too.

    --
    Or, Tony questions his role in Peter's life. Naturally, he spirals.

    Summary

    Tony knows something is up when the research of ex-Hydra agents gets recycled in an underground Oscorp lab… what he doesn’t expect is the boy in a hospital gown sticking to the ceiling; or, how said boy proceeds to imprint on him like a baby duckling (a poor decision on his part, really). Did he mention he wasn’t intending on bringing home a kid that day?

    Originally, Tony's plan had been to just surprise Peter with the fact that he would be on campus for a semester.
    He’d never actually expected Peter to sign up for his class.

    Summary

    Tony gets straight to the point. “What happened?”

    Instead of an answer he gets the sound of Benji wailing down the line—huge, inconsolable sobs that Tony can hear Michelle trying frantically to shush. It launches his panic straight into the goddamn stratosphere.

    “Michelle! MJ, talk to me, what’s going on?”

    “Tony,” Michelle says, voice cracking. “Thank god. It—shh shh, Benji, come here, it’s okay, it’s okay. Tony, it’s Peter.”

    Summary

    Peter swallows and looks at Tony, unable to keep the heartbroken look off his face. His hand grabs for his book bag while his other sweeps the vials up. Maybe he’s being paranoid, but he can’t risk going back into the system. He closes his eyes, for just a second, to mourn the life he could have had.

    “I’m sorry,” he says to Tony.

    He doesn’t wait to see the man’s response before he pushes through the crowd of people and runs. “Wait!” Tony calls after him.

    But Peter’s already out the door.

    -

    Before Ben died, Peter won a booth to present his project at the Stark Expo. But even on the run from the foster care system, he can't pass up the opportunity to attend and show the world his project. It all goes so well, until it doesn't. Trying to avoid being caught, Peter runs out on Tony just as the man is about to make him the offer of a lifetime.

    Bold of him to assume Tony won't try to find him.

    Summary

    Homecoming AU.

    Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

    So he leaves.

    Simple.

    Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

    And that’s when things get complicated.

    Summary

    The first time Ben Parker meets Tony Stark, he punches him square in the face.

    Tony bites back a curse and ignores the way his eyes water as he looks back up at the man. Ben’s not angry, which is part of the reason the punch took him by surprise. They’re lucky the door is closed, or Happy would have tackled him to the ground.

    “Did that make you feel better?” Tony asks, the sarcasm in his tone biting, but Ben takes it as a serious question.

    “No.” If Tony didn’t know any better, he’d say the man almost cracks a smile. It’s hard to tell, and Tony’s never met a man he can’t read, but Ben doesn’t look angry (seriously, why doesn’t he look angry?), even though that punch felt angry. “...Maybe a little.”

    ***

    Or, May dies instead of Ben. We’ve seen Ben’s legacy – but what about May’s?

    Losing a mother is something different from losing a father, but either way, it hurts.

    Summary

    Peter is sick of waking up in places he doesn’t belong.

    He groans, the throbbing in his head astronomical out of this world, and he knows he’s laying on some stone ground that’s wet and disgusting and not at all comfortable, but the throbbing and the pain is so huge and horrible that he just wants to keep his eyes closed and fade back into unconsciousness.

    But he knows he can’t do that.

    Summary

    Peter looked down at the bruise on his arm. It was dark, shaped like a handprint. It looked like someone had grabbed him, really hard. But he couldn’t remember where it had come from.

    He’d gone to bed at 9. All he had done before was dinner with May and homework. And it hadn’t been there when he’d changed into his pj’s so…

    Had it gotten it in his sleep?

    He pressed down on the bruise, but it didn’t hurt. Weird.

    He got up for the day. Had cereal, went to shower. By the time he was pulling on a sweater for the school day, the bruise had disappeared.

    Peter didn’t think much of it.
