Summary
When Peter Parker gets up in the morning and falls out of a twin bed—not the king-size he and his wife are very fond of—with a suspiciously functional back, it doesn't take long to realize something is wrong. Finding himself in his bedroom from when he was a teenager explains simultaneously everything and nothing, and Peter, who at last check, was nearing a ripe twenty-eight, comes to the realization that he might be in a bit of a pickle.
//
Or, it's a funny thing for Peter, being protective of himself, but it's not every day a guy processes the things his fifteen-year-old self went through.

When In Doubt, Blame Spider-Man by ambivalentangst

Summary
Hi! Sorry about the toaster—Spidey emergency. Pinky promise I’ll get you a new one. On that note, how much pull do you have in New York’s group homes? Asking for a friend.
In the way of a signature, the kid had put a smiley face with poorly sketched webbing covering it. Tony thought about calling to ask, but frankly, he’d been up for the better part of forty-eight hours. He cared more about sleep than what the hell Peter had been up to that required the thieving of kitchen appliances.
//
Or, Peter finds a ten-year-old friend out in the cold near his group home and decides to take action.

Summary
Tony Stark meets Flash Thompson at a formal event neither of them wants to be at. He's not exactly expecting to see himself in the kid dressed to the nines and doing calculus at a back table, but life is full of surprises that way.
He's also not expecting the two of them to have a mutual friend, of sorts, but he's good at rolling with the punches—or knives, as it were.
//
Or, Tony Stark and Flash Thompson meet without knowing what they have in common, and this leads to some interesting situations.

Summary
Peter didn’t know what else to say, “I don’t want to go in there, May.”
May sighed, brushed his hair off his forehand with a shaking hand. “I know that it’s weird. I know you came back from the Snap and I had a whole new life, I had a whole new husband, but it will be okay, Peter. It will just take some more time. You’ll get used to it eventually, I promise.”
Then she left, she walked inside and barely waited for him at the door.
“May, please,” Peter followed after her into the elevator. “Maybe we could- maybe we could go somewhere where they can get you some help too. Maybe Mr. Stark can-”
“Peter, we have talked about Tony Stark,” May turned on him, her eyes narrowed. “You aren’t going anywhere near that man, I made myself very clear.”
Peter sucked in a breath. “But May-”
The elevators doors dinged open, and May walked out. She didn’t look back again. She walked into the apartment, into the kitchen, and into a bottle of wine.
