    Summary

    "Which child minder?" Sherlock asks with an air of suspicion. "Not the same one you used last Tuesday, I hope. Rosamund doesn't like that insufferable woman, and who could blame her? Imagine, thinking someone of Watson's intellect would be duped by cheap parlour tricks and tomfoolery."

    "... Sherlock, it's peek-a-boo. Everybody plays peek-a-boo with babies."

    After moving back into 221B with Rosie, John discovers that Sherlock has been hiding a chronic health condition caused by John's attack on him in the morgue. Together they navigate the fallout, becoming a family in the process.

    Summary

    Brave, self-sacrificing, heroic.  

    These are words Rocky might associate with the human he befriended.  

    Heck, these are words I associated with myself up until a few months ago.   

    And we’d have been right…if it weren’t for the facts.  

    You know, those pesky things that get in the way of misconceptions and assumptions? 

    Yeah, those.  

    How exactly are you supposed to explain that to your best friend who thinks the galaxy of you?

    Summary

    Tony had once heard that having a child was like having a part of your heart walking around in the world. He’d chalked that up to cheesy Hallmark sentiment until now, when he very literally felt like a piece of him had died.

    Summary

    Happy hurries into the penthouse and finds Tony, Pepper, and Peter standing in the kitchen, Tony aiming his repulser at Peter. “Tony! What are you doing?”

    "Intruder. Had my back turned making coffee and I turned around and he was just sitting there."

    “That’s not an intruder, it’s Peter. What’s wrong with you? Lower that thing before somebody gets hurt.”

    “I’ve never seen this kid before. How'd he slip past security?"

    "This is Peter Parker Stark, your son. You adopted him."

    “I adopted some random kid?”

    Peter’s breath hitches and his shoulders fall. He wants to press his face into Happy’s back and cry. “Not some random kid,” Happy says, voice hard. “Your kid. Peter.”

    OR

    Tony spent five years mourning Peter after he'd been snapped. He'd invented time travel to bring him back, almost died, had risked everything for him. When Peter is snapped back to life, he can't believe that the Starks actually want him to be part of their family. He spends six months doubting it. He's finally starting to believe that they want and love him when he wakes up one morning and comes out of his room to find that Tony and Pepper don't remember him at all, even though everyone else does.
