Summary
Penny never saw Skip Wescott after the summer she turned ten. She left him behind — closed the door on that particular monster.
Spider girl met him six years later.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Tony once said that you’d kill for me.”
Natasha gave her a look she couldn’t quite interpret. Then she shrugged. “I’ve killed for far worse reasons.”
Penny thought about death — how it lingered on your body like sex. And she knew that if Skip were to die, she wouldn’t be the only one carrying his death.
She thought about guilt. Thought about those other girls hearing he was dead. Their shoulders would slump in relief, and then their shoulders would curl forward with the guilt of it.
She thought about her own shoulders at that age — how they had shrunk in on themselves.

Summary
Tony came home early.
He wasn’t supposed to, it was just that the meeting with Ross was so boring.
Besides, Penny was waiting for him at the lake house. At least that’s what Tony told himself. Technically, she wasn’t exactly aimlessly waiting for him to come home. Pepper, Morgan, and May were all together with her, and judging from the text Penny had sent him- 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨! 𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘗𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘺 :)- he knew she was just fine without him.
But still.
Tony was bored. And he missed his kid.
So he came home early. But he wasn’t exactly prepared for what he saw.

Or, Tony comes home early from a meeting to find Pepper and May fawning over Penny, who was wearing Pepper’s wedding dress. Irondad fluff ensues.

Summary
“This is you, isn’t it?” Tony held it out. Peter reached out, his hands shaking as he took it from him.
It was the picture they took at Stark Industries. They needed proof for May that he was working as an intern there, so Tony had a certificate made. It was Peter’s idea to give each other bunny ears, but Tony was the one who held the certificate upside-down. They’d barely known each other then, but they’d both laughed when they realized his mistake.
A couple of tears ran down his cheeks as Peter gripped the frame. “Yeah,” he choked out. “That’s— That’s me.”
Peter knew Tony had the photo. He kept it in his lab. Once the spell was set and done, he figured Tony would’ve thrown it out. Why would he hang onto a picture of someone he didn’t recognize?
Peter never told him, but knowing it was there made him feel so important. He should’ve told him.
“You’ve shivering,” Tony commented, just like Pepper had. His anger had turned into a shade of worry and concern. With a small shake of his head, he moved out of the way. “Get in here.”
—
Or the one where the world has forgotten Peter, and Peter still finds himself at the Starks' cabin anyway. Set after Spider-Man: No Way Home. Spoilers ahead.

Summary
Felix wasn’t as much as an idiot as people believed him to be.
He was loyal, brash, sweet, and very very curious.
So when he saw Princess Athanasia sneak into the woods with only Blackie accompanying her, he follows.
At the time, Felix had dismissed it as a simple fascination, a quirk that the princess had. Nothing that needed to be worried about.
He had been mistaken.
