Summary
Valerie Stark has spent her whole life building things between prosthetics, biometrics, and the tech that keeps the people she loves alive one more day. Safe for one more day. She's good at fixing what's broken. She's less good at admitting when she's the one falling apart.
Peter Parker was supposed to be easy, easy to understand, easy to ignore, a lab partner, and someone to bicker with over blueprints at 2am. He wasn't supposed to become the person she can't stop thinking about. Someone who seems to be hiding something from her.
Between an overprotective father who'd rather lock her in a bunker than let her near a fight, a best friend who has no idea she's falling for her ex, and a boy who runs the second things get real, Val is starting to think love might be more dangerous than anything she's ever built.
Slow burn. Friends to lovers. A lot of angst before the comfort.

Summary
For once, Matt Murdock is actually enjoying his life. The law firm Nelson & Murdock is going strong, he's happily dating Karen Page, and he has a pretty amazing new intern working for him—Peter Parker, who always seems to be hiding something. All in all, Matt's happy.
It's only a matter of time before Wilson Fisk tears it all down.
As the Kingpin amasses power after the blip, everything that Matt holds dear—his life, his love, his friends—lies in the balance. If he wants to keep everything together... he'll have to let the Devil out once again.
-----
"Let every man, woman, and child who dies at my hands," Fisk began, then raised his voice higher. Matt winced. "Let their blood be on your head."
The smell of crusting blood and stitching filled Matt's nose. His ribs ached with every breath. There was nothing but the pain, the swelling and the searing, the agony of Fisk's own handiwork. Matt clenched his fists.
"And there will be blood, Mr. Murdock. When this city is in my hands... there will be more blood than even you can atone for."

Summary
Pepper and Tony Stark’s biological kids, Morgan, Peter, and Harley, were kidnapped eight years ago. While Harley and Morgan made it home, Peter was lost all that time, believing his parents had abandoned him on purpose. When they finally find him, he’s scared, malnourished, and struggles to understand what it means to be part of a real family.
And then there’s Spider-Man. Peter’s doing everything he can to keep his identity a secret, but how long can that last? Will they still let him go out if they uncover his secret? Will he ever figure out how to fit into a family that genuinely cares about him? Reuniting is one thing, but rebuilding what was lost? That’s something none of them are prepared for. Keeping his double life hidden was hard enough before, now, with a family that’s protective and watching his every move, it feels impossible.
His family has their own struggles, the guilt Tony and Pepper feel knowing what Peter went through alone, the grief of missing his childhood, and Harley’s pain of losing his twin for years, never knowing if he’d get him back.
