    Summary

    “Hey there, Parker. I’ve got some exciting news about your community service sentencing,” the bright voice from the other line says. "It looks like you've been reassigned."

    “Oh, yeah?” Peter asks, warily. His social worker sounds excited, but he's been burned a few too many times to take any "good news" at face value.

    Peter listens to her explain with a furrowed brow, and when the call is over, he opens the web browser on his cracked Android and quickly types the words september foundation into the search bar. His eyes narrow as he peruses the top result.

    Oh, he is going to kill that Stark bastard.

    -

    All Peter Parker wants to do is fly under the radar. He wants to go to school, work off his sentence by picking up trash at the stupid park, and avoid going home for as long as possible each night. Unfortunately for him, Tony Stark has never been one to see untapped potential and not do something about it.

    Summary

    He’s not sure what he’s expecting to see. But somehow, even though he’d heard the sound of music and pages turning, it hadn’t been Mr. Stark sitting at the piano, his face tilted slightly upward and his eyes closed as his fingers dance over the keys.

    ***

    Or, 5 times that Peter heard Tony play the piano, and one time Tony heard Peter play the piano.

    Summary

    He does not have a name.

    He has been called many things over the years; a weapon, a ghost, HYDRA’s Fist, the Soldier, and from what they have told him his work has shaped the century.

    But he does not have a name. His name, like so many other things, has been taken from him, stolen.

    Forgotten.

    Until the day it is not, and remembering, he breaks free, killing his handler and making his escape in a desperate bid for freedom.

    Frightened, lost and hurt, he seeks out the last person in the world he can trust, his baby sister, now an almost eighty-year-old widow, somehow knowing she is the only one who can help him.

    It is a difficult journey, one filled with pain, tears, and things that should not be possible. But also with recovery and redemption, rebirth and miracles, family and hope.

    This story is a love letter between Bucky and his sister Rebecca, the world, and eventually his childhood best friend, Steve Rogers, the boy he once loved. But ultimately, it is the love letter Bucky writes to himself, as he reclaims who he once was, discovers who he is now, builds a new life for himself and realizes he might, just might, be as strong, as beautiful, as precious as a pearl.

    Summary

    Peter huffed a laugh and finally moved forward, gently shouldering his mentor out of the way, and hefted the dusty piece of tech the older man had been tugging at. “Where do you want it? And is this a mainframe unit? An old one?”

    “There on the ground next to the other one,” Tony said, walking ahead of him into the main lab area, and gesturing to where he had another unit hard-wired into the wall. “And yes, it is a mainframe unit circa 2012, I believe. Well, more like 2015 for the general public.”

    “Did you set it on fire or something?” Peter joked. It definitely looked charred.

    “Not me. It’s from the Malibu house,” Tony said quietly.
