    Summary

    Peter can't remember his parents. (A trauma response, May had whispered to Ben when she thought he was already asleep.) It doesn't seem like a big deal after a lifetime happy with Ben and May. Who really cared that everything before his sixth birthday is a blur?

    But when Ben dies, in addition to navigating grief that threatens to swallow him, Peter is forced to confront the mystery left behind by his parents: A file full of results from genetic experimentations, and marked with a message, "Trust no one. SHIELD is compromised. Forward to Clint Barton or Barbara Morse only."

    Summary

    On Peter’s sixteenth birthday, May gives him an old shoe box that once belonged to his mother filled with some of her personal things. To his surprise, he finds a letter that she never meant for him to read. It tells him of a life changing secret about a man who is his biological father. With a little help from his best friend, Peter works through the clues to figure out if his suspicion is true.

    Summary

    The first time he walked into the cold spot, he thought it was a weird happenstance. A coincidence.

    He couldn't have been more wrong.

    Strange, spooky things are happening in Tony's lab and he's woefully unprepared for what follows.

    (Or, the fic where Peter haunts Tony's lab and Tony can't help but adopt the adorable ghost kid.)

    Summary

    James Edwin Stark was born on the 10th of August 2001, and for the first time in his life, Tony Stark cried tears of joy.

    All the fears, all the dread that had once consumed his soul washed away with a single look at the baby’s gentle features, so familiar and yet so distinctly unique at the same time. Tony made many promises that day. Promises to love his son, to protect him, to always be there for him.

    On the 10th of August 2002, James Edwin Stark was stolen in the middle of the night, and his father’s world came crashing down. Shattered and alone, Tony whispered the same promise he’d made to his son the day that he was born.

    ‘…My love for you is endless…’

    Fourteen years later, hidden away from the world in a forest of pine, Peter Beck would dream of a day he might get to see the towering city of New York. And when a wounded stranger stumbles onto their property a week out from his birthday claiming to be a famous billionaire from New York, his dream might just come true.

    Summary

    Peter wanted to be perfectly clear, everything that happened was only 12% his fault. Everything else was on the kidnappers, HYDRA, magic, and time travel.

    Oh, and don't forget the fucking genetics project.

    He blamed that the most.
