    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?

    Summary

    “He was completely, one-hundred percent screwed.

    No one was looking for him. He was in the most secure prison in the world, which was filled to the brim with armed personnel. He was wearing a shock collar.

    And if he somehow figured all that out, he still couldn’t swim.

    Yep. Screwed.”
    ———
    Peter Parker died six months ago in a fire after a horrible chemical accident.

    ...or did he?

    At least, that’s what Tony believes when an unemployed Ross illegally imprisons the Avengers on the Raft, which was supposed to have been destroyed.
    ———
    AU where the Accords were declared stupid, Ross was fired, Tony and Steve became friends again, and they all live together in Avengers tower.

    Peter Parker-Centric. Trigger warning for suicidal themes.

    Summary

    Tony sits in relative darkness, the TV on mute, Friday running searches like she has been every day for the past month. A month, since Quentin Beck’s grand plan crumpled underneath him on that bridge. A month, since a flash of light was able to distract Peter just as he was about to bring Beck down. A month, since Beck snatched him, since both of them disappeared. An entire. Month.

    I’ll keep you updated. I promise.

    I love you, kid. Rhodey’s on his way, alright? He’s coming. He’s gonna go as fast as he can.

    I love you too. I’ll be okay. I promise. I can do this.

    The last thing Tony heard Peter say.

    Rhodey, Happy and Fury traversed the London landscape immediately afterwards. They found the glasses, but not Spider-Man. There was footage enough to incriminate Beck for what he was, but somehow, nobody was able to get a shot of when he grabbed Peter. Peter was knocking him around, looked like he was getting the upper hand, and then that flash of light.

    Gone. Gone.

    Summary

    Peter was getting used to the fact that Tony was his father. The most difficult part: not calling him Mr. Stark anymore. So what should he call him instead?
