    Summary

    Somewhere between showing up in a rundown queens apartment and fighting his team, Tony seemed to unofficially adopt a reckless teenager. He is slightly regretting giving the kid his number.

    Or a chat fic where Peter is giving Tony multiple gray hairs, panic attacks and at least a hundred reasons to wonder how this kid survived the past 15 years of his life.

    Summary

    When the Avengers stumble upon Peter Parker, he is not a fifteen year old, bubbly, nerdy high school student. He is eighteen, homeless, and a drug addict.

    Peter refuses to let them discover the squalor he lives in when the mask is off, refuses to ruin their perfect little makeshift family with all his dirt, refuses to get too close.

    Unfortunately, he doesn't really have a choice.

    Summary

    “Stay down,” Stark demanded and pressed an iron hand against his shoulder, as if Peter was even entertaining the notion of standing. “That was a nasty spill, kid. FRIDAY says you’ve got a concussion and a couple broken ribs. We need to get you back to the Tower, have Medical check you out–“

    “No!” Peter’s eyes flew open. Tony looked down at him, frowning with equal parts guilt, concern, and confusion. “I mean, uh – that’s just – not necessary. I have super healing. Radioactive spider bite, remember? Give me five minutes.”

    More like five hours – but no way in hell was he going to tell Stark that.

    A medical examination at Avengers Tower might mean taking blood and DNA samples.

    Blood and DNA samples would reveal, clear as day, Spider-Man’s crippling addiction to heroin.

    Summary

    A year after the Winter Soldier failed his mission in DC, Bucky Barnes is doing his best to stay under the radar from both Hydra and Steve Rogers. His hope for a peaceful day-to-day life in limbo goes awry, however, when he meets Queens’ newest hero; a pure-hearted kid with a death wish and a ridiculous pair of red and blue pajamas.

    The last thing Steve expects when he finally tracks Bucky down is that, not only has the man been living in Queens all this time, right under his nose, but also that, in the two years since they last saw each other, Bucky somehow acquired a kid.

    Alternatively: How Peter Parker effectively fucks over Bucky Barnes, and also totally saves him.
