    Summary

    “This has to be some kind of conflict of interest,” Regulus says, his lip curling at James.

    James shrugs, the idiot, “I don’t know.” His voice is weary, tired. He even looks tired, even though he’s been sleeping all day. In fact, he looks more than just a bit tired. There are deep, dark circles under his eyes, his hair is sticking up– and not in the endearing way it usually is– but simply out of control.

    He’s thinner than he used to be, and his brown skin is sallow. Regulus’ eyes catch on the two massive bandages wrapping around his arms.

    Jesus fuck.

    Regulus had no idea James was… no. He couldn’t do this right now. He was here (and had been for some time now) to figure his own shit out. Not to worry about James’ suicidal ideations. Not to mention, he hated James. So this whole thing? It wasn’t going to work.

    ___

    Or: James Potter and Regulus Black end up as roommates in the same mental hospital.

    Summary

    “I’m thinking of ending things.”

    James pressed his lips together hard as he fought the urge to suck in a breath at the words. He instinctively reached for his binder of prepared materials and began to flip through it as if it would have the answer, rustling the pages frantically as he did.

    “Hello?”

    James flinched. “Um, hi, yes sorry it’s uh-- it’s my first day.”

    A pause. Then, dry as a bone: “Brilliant. You’d think they’d at least train you to tell people not to kill themselves before handing you a phone.”

    James froze, then panicked. “Oh God-- you’re right, I mean, of course-- I didn’t-- oh, shit, I just--”

    James’s rambling was interrupted by a quiet sound, over so quickly he almost missed it.

    The caller had laughed.

    At him.

    OR

    A muggle college AU where James is a Psychology student who starts working at a crisis center. His first caller is dry, guarded, and somehow familiar, despite being a perfect stranger. Night after night their conversations continue, blurring all the lines between them, until the caller finally makes a choice that changes both their lives forever.

    Summary

    Peter is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Or more literally, he's stuck between the will of ten other teenagers and the knowledge that if anyone finds out he's living with the Avengers he can kiss his normal high school life goodbye. Can he keep it a secret from his classmates that he's living with the world's loudest superheroes? And can he keep it a secret from the Avengers that he's accidentally bringing his classmates home for a field trip?

    And once he starts hiding things, keeping secrets, and lying, will he be able to stop?

    And even more importantly: will Ned be able to keep his mouth shut long enough for Peter's secrets to stay a secret?

    At least MJ can be trusted to keep a lid on things

    Summary

    It's a field trip au. With a bit of Spideypool and a bit of Superfamily.

      “Peter here is my favourite intern,” He explained proudly to the group. “The kid has done more for Stark Industries than any of our full-time employees.”
    Flash raised his hand. “Our tour guide earlier said Peter wasn’t an intern, and Stark Industries don’t take high-school age interns.” He said, only sounding slightly snarky in the face of the world-famous billionaire.

    Peter has to deal with embarrassing parents, a high school bully, and his disaster of an extended family.

    He deserves to get paid for this.

    Summary

    “I already have an escape plan,” Deadpool says. He grabs Peter’s wrist, raises it above his head, and then digs his thumb into Peter’s spinneret.

    Or: Peter gets bitten by a spider, immediately runs into Deadpool, and later keeps running into him, but as Spider-Man. Also, spinnerets. Okay, mainly: spinnerets.
