    Summary

    Tony's having a hard time remembering how he crossed the distance from the grassy knoll to Peter, and he can't really recollect how his hands ended up on either side of the kid's face. Before he knows it, he's gripping the kid's shoulders just as tightly as Rhodey had gripped his own, his hands trembling. "Pete, kid, c'mon. Say something. If you don't say something I'm gonna seriously lose it here. Don't fucking do this."

    A pair of headphones rattle around Pete's neck. Tony's shaking him.

    Maybe he'll come to, like a half-drowned puppy you pull out of the gutter.

    Then just as suddenly he's not shaking him, because Quill is prying his hands back from the kid protectively, and Strange's palm is pushing Tony's shoulder to put some distance between him and the boy. Everyone knows Peter is a special case, for him. A special mission set aside to complete. He promised May. He promised Peter. He held him while he disintegrated. He washed him down a sink and apologized in multitudes. Someone seethes, "What do you mean, he didn't come back? What do you mean?" and he recognizes it belatedly as his own voice.

    *******

    Everyone comes back, when the snap is undone. Or, well — almost everyone.

    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?

    not finished but you can gaslight yourself (haha) into thinking it’s an ambiguous but possibly positive ending

    Summary

    He never met one, he got left behind by the other, the next one died, and the only one he had left was pushing him away. And he doesn't know what to do.

    Peter really has rotten luck when it comes to parental figures. No matter how hard he tries.

    Parker luck will always prevail.

    Summary

    “Fuck off, Nicky.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “Hasn’t anyone ever told you spider-napping is illegal?”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “You can’t hold me here, I know my spider-rights.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “God, you guys are so old. What are you? Like 27?”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “Scale of 1 to 10, how upset would you be if I told you I banged your mom?”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    Or, I got my grubby little hands on the spider-man time line and fucked around a little bit. Not much (everything) changes.
