    Summary

    “What are you doing?” May says.

    “Putting away Pete’s Legos,” Ben says, “so he doesn’t step on them in the morning.”

    “How thoughtful,” she says, and sits beside him, picking up Legos, her hands and his side by side, stowing them in their tub.

    Ben watches May turn a green brick over between her fingers, watches the silver moonlight shine on it like they’ve slipped into the spirit world, like they’re ghostly grave-looting, and May holds that piece of plastic like an emerald ring.

    She picks up a base, a big, grey, dimpled square thing, and clicks the green block into place. Ben sees a blue one by his foot. Picks it up, clicks it beside May’s. She looks at him and he looks back. There are eons in that stare, and ripe orchards, and yellowed scrolls of lost texts.

    At one in the morning the grandfather clock in the hallway chimes quietly, like tinkling bells, and they find they’ve built a home in primary colors without having shared a word on how.

    Summary

    Peter freezes for a second, eyes flicking to focus on Steve for one still moment. Then, his gaze drags sideways to Tony, and his eyes clear of confusion.

    "Dad!" he breathes.

    The room goes silent.

    -

    Tony Stark doesn't like to think of himself as any kind of father figure. In fact, after Peter Parker died in his arms on Titan, he's been distancing himself from the kid.

    That all changes, though, after an encounter with a rogue sorcerer that leaves Peter unconscious and unaware. When he wakes up, he gets the date and the year wrong - oh, and he calls Tony Dad. Soon, it becomes clear that something is seriously wrong with the kid. He's talking about people who don't exist, events that haven't happened, and using information he shouldn't know.

    Tony is far from ready to deal with any of it.

    (Post Civil War, and compliant with the MCU save for the Avengers being based in Stark Tower still. Infinity War and Endgame happened, but this story is officially canon-divergent from them. Mainly Irondad and Spiderson. Fic title from Dream by Imagine Dragons.)

    Summary

    The only thing separating him and all the power in the world is a few inches of metal.

    Stephen's already explained that there was no way to bring someone back to life with them. Bringing back half the universe was easy, as they hadn't been dead, merely... hidden away for a while.

    He would die, he thinks, if he tried.

    (He thinks someone should. Try, that is. Thor, or Carol, or Bruce, once he's better. It's selfish, he knows, but he can't help but think it. He wonders if Pepper thinks it too.)

    AKA: the story where Peter uses the Time Stone to go back in time to try and save Tony. Unfortunately, Peter finds out it's harder than it seems.

    Spoiler: Happy Ending included I promise
