    Summary

    A phone call that his son is being held at the 28th precinct throws Tony’s savoir-vivre out of balance. Because his son should not be in New York, much less at a police station. “Isn’t his mother listed as his primary guardian?”
    “She’s also listed as living in Maryland. Are you going to collect your son or not?” There is an edge to the police woman’s voice, particularly over the words ‘your son’. And Tony realizes, awkwardly, self-consciously, that he probably couldn’t sound any more like a deadbeat dad.
    The reality of the situation is: he hasn’t seen Peter in almost a month now, since their latest horribly ugly falling-out. And practically bailing him out of jail was not part of any of the one thousand bonding and rekindling scenarios he has run in his head since then.

    Summary

    “So, I’ve been following your son around,” Steve says. “Watched him crawl out of his window in the middle of the night and bang his head on the fire escape. Are you aware he drinks anti-freeze? And that he’s playing the elephant’s backside in his school’s Christmas play?”

    “Say all that again,” Tony says, “but slowly, and using way more words.”

    Morgan just wants her big brother to come home for Christmas. Tony just wants to figure out why being around his daughter is sending him into a tailspin. And Peter just wants to survive his first Christmas alone without freezing to death in a graveyard.

    Luckily Morgan Stark is very, very stubborn. And immune to Strange's spell.

    What If? branching off of Long Story Short (It Was a Bad Time) Chapter 10, but you don't need to read that to understand.

    Summary

    “This is you, isn’t it?” Tony held it out. Peter reached out, his hands shaking as he took it from him.

    It was the picture they took at Stark Industries. They needed proof for May that he was working as an intern there, so Tony had a certificate made. It was Peter’s idea to give each other bunny ears, but Tony was the one who held the certificate upside-down. They’d barely known each other then, but they’d both laughed when they realized his mistake.

    A couple of tears ran down his cheeks as Peter gripped the frame. “Yeah,” he choked out. “That’s— That’s me.”

    Peter knew Tony had the photo. He kept it in his lab. Once the spell was set and done, he figured Tony would’ve thrown it out. Why would he hang onto a picture of someone he didn’t recognize?

    Peter never told him, but knowing it was there made him feel so important. He should’ve told him.

    “You’ve shivering,” Tony commented, just like Pepper had. His anger had turned into a shade of worry and concern. With a small shake of his head, he moved out of the way. “Get in here.”

    Or the one where the world has forgotten Peter, and Peter still finds himself at the Starks' cabin anyway. Set after Spider-Man: No Way Home. Spoilers ahead.
