    Summary

    Peter imagined what Tony's first words would be when he woke from his coma. He supposed he'd be shocked by the lack of arm, or maybe he'd just be grateful he survived. Maybe he'd come out with a witty one liner about saving the world single-handedly.
    He never imagined it being 'who are you?'

     

    or
    Tony wakes up from snapping with amnesia and for the life of him can't remember the kid hanging around, claiming to be 'just an intern'. Feelings get hurt.

    Summary

    “So am I dead? In this universe, I mean.”

    Tony glances up sharply. “What? No.”

    Peter nods, biting the inside of his cheek as he tries to calm his quaking nerves. “Okay… so if I’m not dead, then where am I? And why are you all treating me like I’m some sort of criminal?”

    “Because here Spider-Man is a criminal,” Tony replies, unflinching. “And not just any common thief. A murderer.”

    Peter barks out a laugh, the corner of his lip turning up. “Yeah, right.” But the smile falters when Tony’s expression doesn’t change. “No way, no way would I ever–”

    “Oh, there’s a way, kid. Believe me,” Tony interjects. “The other you, my Peter? He bought himself a one-way ticket to the Raft. Been there for months.”

    “No way,” Peter repeats with a croak. He looks down at his cuffed hands, feeling numb. “It’s a mistake. It has to be.”

    Tony huffs out a humorless guffaw, and Peter lifts his head, wary but curious.

    “Funny,” Tony says, deadly serious, “that’s what he said, too.”

    Summary

    It’s common knowledge that Tony Stark hates not knowing things. Like the identity of the new superhero in town, Spiderman. Then he finally figures it out. But he kinda wishes he hadn't.

    Summary

    “Tony," Rhodes groans, "I am begging you. Please just explain your thought process to me, man. I want to understand where you’re at.”

    “Well, honey bear, it’s simple. Kid needs a home. I have a home. I need another pair of hands to help take care of this baby. The kid has hands.”

    “Yeah, okay.” Rhodes rolls his eyes. “You didn’t answer my first question. What makes you think he’ll even want to live with you?”

    Tony raises an eyebrow. “I told you,” he says, as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world, “Morgan likes him, and he likes Morgan. Plus, we bonded. In space.”

    “Okay!” Rhodes throws up his hands in resignation. “Okay. I give up. Whatever. Adopt Spider-Man. Jesus Christ."

    -

    Peter survives the Snap only to find he's alone once again, and Tony Stark steps off the Benatar to find James Rhodes holding his month-old daughter with Pepper nowhere in sight. At first it's an arrangement of convenience and mutual grief. Someday, God willing, it might become a family.

    Summary

    "What sounds more likely to you? It's not a trick, I'd genuinely like to know what you think. Is it more likely that you were bitten by a radioactive spider on a field trip, and that by some miracle this didn't kill you, instead gifting you with fantastical abilities, or that you witnessed something deeply tragic and extremely traumatising — traumatising for anybody, but especially so for a child — and your brain formed this fantastical world as a way to cope?"

    Peter doesn't answer. Around the lump in his throat, he can't. He sets his jaw, but a hot tear rolls down his cheek anyway, followed by another, and another.

    "I'm not crazy," he whispers.

    "Of course not, you're simply unwell."

     

    ~~

     

    When Peter finds himself in an unfamiliar place, with no memory of how he came to be there, they tell him he has relapsed. They tell him Spider-man is just a character he invented to cope with trauma, that everything that has happened to him over the last two years is a figment of his imagination.

    But Peter knows the truth.

    Doesn't he?
