    Summary

    “And I’ll always be your sister.” She pulled back to smile at him. “But I’m not supposed to tell them?”

    “It’s for the best. You’ll be so happy with them, April. I’m sure you won’t even notice I’m gone. I’ll always love you, no matter how far away I am. Now, why don’t we head out to the car, hmm? Don’t want to keep Mr. Stark waiting too long.”

    “Okay. I love you, too. More than all the stars in the sky.”

    “Wow, that much?” he smiled, as he led them outside.

    He felt his heart pound in his chest as they reached the car. Mr. Stark was casually leaning against the Audi waiting for them. He was staring down at his phone but didn’t look to be doing anything. Probably trying to look busy so as not to rush them.

    “Right, well, guess this is goodbye for now, then, huh?”

    “Yeah, bye, Petey.”

    ***

    After an unfortunate accident, Peter and his cousin (pseudo-sister) end up in foster care together. Wishing for his sister to get a good placement, she ends up being taken in by Tony and Pepper Stark and their daughter Morgan. Together they make a happy family.

    If only Peter could get as lucky.

    Summary

    Suddenly, everything feels so big and overwhelming, as though he'd walked in on the whole world breaking apart when really, it's just his apartment and a bleeding, broken man sitting on his couch with the breeze coming in through the fire escape. And Peter is not a doctor--not a doctor--but he can throw a stitch and set a broken bone, and that seems good enough right now.
    Even though, really, he should be calling the cops.

    Rewriting--no further chapters under this title or posting.

    Summary

    Peter almost deleted the email without even opening it. Anything with Stark in the subject line these days is a scam.

    But then his eyes scanned further, widening by the second.

    Welcome to the Stark Industries Summer Internship Program

     

    OR

    Internship at Stark Industries? Easy. Putting up with ghosts of his foster care past in a group project? Less easy. Meeting the Avengers?

    He doesn't know if his heart can take it.

     

    OR OR

    Peter is a genius, and gets adopted by Tony Stark. Oh, and someone's trying to blow up New York.

     

    Thank you so much to Ace for beta-reading! They're currently making their way through the early Chapters and I cannot thank them enough for being so cool with it!

    Summary

    In New York City's nefarious underworld, James Barnes reigns supreme, managing legitimate businesses, illicit activities, and a network of connections. Those in society respect James; he has the local law enforcement in the palm of his hand and is feared by those around him. He believes he needs no one and is content with his lot in life. Until a naive small-town girl becomes his personal assistant, as she unwittingly pulls him into unfamiliar territory, James finds himself navigating uncharted waters of emotion and desire.
