    Summary

    Zuko was probably more involved in the gossip around the palace than he had any right to be.

    It’s not his fault, it’s really not. It’s just that sometimes he’s sitting in the kitchens (the best place to get the gossip) drinking tea and trying to relax for once, and some of the kitchen staff will start gossiping where he can still hear them. He doesn’t really try to listen in; it’s not his place and he won’t judge the staff based on whatever rumors are running around, but Spirits is it interesting. He tries not to listen too much, or get too invested in it though. Gossip is gossip after all, and rumors hardly ever turn out to be true.

    But Zuko absolutely needs to know if Maya from the laundry room broke up with her piece of shit boyfriend.

    Or, 5 times Zuko got invested in/meddled in palace gossip, and 1 time he was the subject of the gossip.

    Summary

    Peter is caught, half way in his spider-suit when Mr. Harrington walks through the door.

    Peter stares at him, eyes wide. Mr. Harrington stares back.

    “I, uh, there’s an attack downtown and I..?”

    “Go,” Mr. Harrington says with all the exasperation of teaching a high school vigilante and, in turn, breaking just about every single school rule there ever is. “I’ll cover for you.”

    “Please tell Ms. Warren I’m sorry about missing her test next period and that I promise I’ll—”

    “Peter,” Mr. Harrington says. “I’ll handle the academics. You go save the world.”

    also known as: sometimes a family is eight high school decathlon team members, their teacher, and Spider-Man.

    Summary

    “Bring Spider-Man to us, Mr. Stark,” High-heels says and rattles off an address. “If that bug isn’t here in the next twenty four hours, then your intern gets it. We are not going to ask a second time.”

    There’s a pause.

    Then, “You want Spider-Man?

    “In exchange for your intern,” High-heels affirms.

    “Spider-Man,” Mr. Stark repeats. He sounds more amused than worried for Peter’s apparent safety.

    also known as: Peter Parker is held hostage…in order to get to Spider-Man. Throw in some Accords reconciliation and, well, Peter’s life just got a whole lot weirder.
