Summary
He couldn’t speak — hadn’t, anyway, in… months, years, he wasn’t sure. He knew how to make the words, what they meant, but instinct entirely overruled him every time he tried to reach for them. Other people close enough to talk to meant danger, a kind of danger his body, high-strung and restless from living on the road, couldn’t bear. He had been alone too long to suppress the urge, to try and sneak or hide or pass himself off as somebody’s pup. Unbidden, he heard himself growling all the time now: the low, discontent rumble of hunger or discomfort, the hackles-raised rising warning of leave me alone, fuck off, and the all-out teeth-bared snarl of don’t touch me, get off, let me go!
Felix is a feral pup, used to living wild. But when he's caught stealing and given away to a strange pack, he has to try and learn to accept comfort, to trust that not all alphas are a threat.

Summary
"When I get to Paris, I’m going to stack books eight deep everywhere, I’ll borrow them off friends, I’ll have one with me always.”
“Friends?” Azelma repeated, curious.
Enjolras faltered. “Yes,” he said, but quietly now. “I mean, I hope so.”
--
Or, what if Enjolras was the one raised by the Thénardiers, and no mysterious benefactor came to rescue him.

Summary
Peter got a Stark phone when he was ten. Adrian took him to a big store with lots of TV screens that all played the same video of Tony Stark declaring to the world that he was Iron Man. They ducked behind the microwaves, both of them giggling as Adrian stuffed the phone under Peter’s sweater.
They walked right out the door without tripping the alarm, and Adrian bought him ice cream to celebrate.
—
After his parents die, Peter is taken in by the Toomes family. Things slowly, then quickly spiral out of control. All Adrian wants is to take revenge on Tony Stark. All Peter wants is to do the right thing. Why is that so much harder than expected?- Language:

Summary
The precinct is wildly disorienting at first: the high exposure of the fluorescent lights, frantic cops milling about without apparent rhyme or reason, phones and pagers filling the air with their high-pitched screams. Stone-faced detectives with blood-spattered shoes.
It’s a frazzled secretary that gets to them first, but whatever she says is lost to May’s ears—because at that moment, all she sees is Peter.
(Or, 5 times May was there for Peter, +1 time he was there for her.)

Summary
When the Avengers stumble upon Peter Parker, he is not a fifteen year old, bubbly, nerdy high school student. He is eighteen, homeless, and a drug addict.
Peter refuses to let them discover the squalor he lives in when the mask is off, refuses to ruin their perfect little makeshift family with all his dirt, refuses to get too close.
Unfortunately, he doesn't really have a choice.

Summary

Jesper was supposed to spend spring break at Nina’s—then a joint turned up in his backpack and his da decided he was coming to the convention instead. He’s miserable and bored until a chance encounter with a shy artist. He never expected to meet someone sweet, gorgeous, and interested in him in the middle of Iowa.
There’s just one tiny problem: Wylan’s father is nationally prominent and openly homophobic.

Summary
Steve Rogers hadn't expected to befriend Peter Parker at all, but somehow the kid had become a regular fixture in his life. So seeing him this upset was distressing, to say the least.
“Everything you represent is everything I’m supposed to- supposed to…” He trailed off, staring down at the streets a thousand feet below him.
“What do you think you’re supposed to be, Peter?”
“I don’t know. Brave. Strong.” He paused, taking a gulp, “Straight.”

Summary
“Uhm. Shitty? Do you know when Bitty was supposed to come back?” Chowder said, voice nervous.
“On Sunday. He said he would catch a plane Saturday night because it was cheaper. Why? Do you need him? You have his number, don’t ya?”
“Well uhm yeah I do, but he’s already here.”
"What?"
Shitty had always thought that because of Samwell’s LGBTQ+ friendly rumor, if one of his teammates weren’t straight they would come out eventually, only waiting because they weren’t ready yet, but never waiting because they were scared.
He could see now how his logic was flawed.
(OR: What if Bitty hadn't come out to Shitty in his first year?)

“I… am not being challenged in the right ways here,” Harley says slowly, carefully. He’s not really lying, this way. He is being fucking challenged, alright, but not by school. Not by the things that should challenge him.
“Then move here,” Tony says, and Harley’s heart drops straight into his feet.

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.
