    Summary

    “I don’t want to intrude.”

    “You’re not intruding at all.” MJ unlocks her door and steps inside, gesturing with her head for him to follow. “Besides, I’m just repaying you for the flowers.”

    “You don’t have to,” Peter insists. “I was just being nice.”

    “Then I’m being nice too. Come on. I have too much food and only myself for company.” 

    She holds up the plastic bag in her hand, where Peter can see two boxes of takeout inside.

    “Okay,” Peter agrees, his hunger winning against his common sense. “Thank you for having me.” 

     


     

    Peter has done a good job avoiding Ned and MJ for the past four years. Until they both moved in across the hall and began inviting him for meals and giving him leftovers (suspiciously looking freshly cooked). He really shouldn’t get involved in their lives anymore, but Peter Parker is broke, hungry, and can’t resist the temptation of delicious food and the chance to talk to his friends again.

    Or: Healing and loving through awkward leftovers, impromptu lunch hangouts, and maybe admitting Peter’s not quite satisfied with his life as he thought he was.

    Summary

    ”You don't have to decide now. It's not like I'm going anywhere. Just… Think about it." Michelle pinches the last of his muffin and pops it into her mouth. If she mildly exaggerates the way she licks her fingers, he definitely notices it.

    "I'm thinking you woke up this morning and decided to mess with me, and thought the funniest way to do that would be saying you want to have sex with me in the middle of our favourite hangout."

    Michelle suppresses the urge to laugh. "Well, I know it's been a while for you. Maybe I just feel sorry for you."

    "I'd believe that if the last time you bought up my sex life you hadn't thrown a gift card for porn at my face."

    Summary

    “So, do you get paid to take pictures of people cheating, or is that just a hobby?” MJ asks out of nowhere.

    “What,” Peter says flatly.

    His neighbor pulls out her paperback, but her eyes are still on him. “You’re always carrying around that ancient camera. Are you, like, a private investigator or something?

    “First off, Bertha isn't ancient, she’s gracefully aging,” Peter corrects, jamming the key in the frozen lock, the hair dryer still on full blast. “And no, I work for a local paper. Selling pictures.” Which is sort of true.

    “Of naked people?”

    “Of—no, MJ, of regular people. Clothed people. In clothes.”

    “Vigilantes?” she asks smoothly.

    He lowers the hair dryer, gives her an assessing look. She looks back politely, which concerns him. MJ doesn’t do anything politely.

    --
    Between paying for rent with underground fight rings, hunting down traffickers, and infiltrating the Avengers' Tower as a janitor, Peter shouldn't have time to worry about his nosy neighbor. If their locks didn't keep freezing, he wouldn't have to spend most nights stuck with her in the hallway, hoping she doesn't pepper spray him. Or sell his secret identity to the press.

    Summary

    “Ya know, Katniss and I. We’ve been luckier than most. I wouldn’t have any regrets at all…” and he pauses. “I-if it weren’t…if it weren’t for…” he shakes his head.

    “If it weren’t for… what what?” Caesar prompts.

    “If it weren’t for the baby.”

    And nothing could have prepared her for that.

    The only reason Katniss regrets that night from four months ago is because of everything that came after. The pain she caused him, when he realized it wasn’t real, just like everything else about their relationship. The way he pretended she didn’t exist, for months after the second victory tour. But specifically this part, where she’s being forced back into a death arena while four months pregnant. It would make her inevitable death so much easier to accept if that night had never happened.

    Peeta isn’t supposed to know. So why is he telling Caesar, and all of Panem, on national television?

    OR: the fic where Everlark aren’t together yet, Katniss is pregnant during the Quarter Quell, Peeta isn’t supposed to know but then figures it out, Peeta never gets taken by the Capital and hijacked, and they try to live their “happily ever after”.
