Paddling Out (THE REPEATER CORPSE CONUNDRUM) by transhitman
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)
08 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
To the southwest of Revachol, far into the wild pale yonder is a radio repeater station. On this station is a corpse -- a woman killed in cold blood. There is no suspect. There are no clues. It is a thoroughly impossible death, a murder in utter isolation.
Two officers arrive on the scene. Voices bleed from the tower above. Something is horribly wrong.

Summary
Here’s how shit was supposed to play out:
Ingerlund ditches Du Bois. Du Bois tanks. Du Bois meets Vicquemare. Vicquemare tanks. Vicquemare ditches Du Bois. Vicquemare gets better. Du Bois heals, or doesn’t, or moves to Graad, or paints an exterior with his interior, some Saturday evening, when the wind smells of ice. Anyway it’s not Jean’s problem.
Instead, here’s how it’s gone:
Harry, one month sober. Harry’s hundred days. Harry’s brand-new optimism. Harry’s brand-new partner.

Summary
It’s not possible, not possible, not possible.
“Pete?”
It’s a breath of a thing, hopeful and scared and loud in Peter’s ringing ears. Because put all together, the location and the voice and the face, it feels like his feet have been sucked in by the earth and his lungs have been entirely removed from his body.
He’s looking at a dead man.
“Might be time to stop drinking, Parker,” he mutters to himself.
He’s looking at Tony Stark.

Summary
Homecoming AU.
Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.
So he leaves.
Simple.
Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.
And that’s when things get complicated.

One of the best long fics I've ever read. Really good at switching POVs. Amazing ending twist.
Skip past the abuse when re-reading. The real good stuff is the recovery.

Summary
The precinct is wildly disorienting at first: the high exposure of the fluorescent lights, frantic cops milling about without apparent rhyme or reason, phones and pagers filling the air with their high-pitched screams. Stone-faced detectives with blood-spattered shoes.
It’s a frazzled secretary that gets to them first, but whatever she says is lost to May’s ears—because at that moment, all she sees is Peter.
(Or, 5 times May was there for Peter, +1 time he was there for her.)

The seventh escape by Bergen
Fandoms: Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
06 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
Tony and Pepper snatched Peter up only a few weeks after the first Spider-Man video went viral. Real fucking coincidence, right? Suddenly, Tony Stark rocked right up at his group home, strewing business cards around like he was Oprah. If Oprah were an ugly white dude with a goatee.
“Big fan,” he told Peter, fasting forward through a video of Spider-Man catching a bus before it crashed through a road block. “In and out of foster care your whole life, am I right? I believe my wife and I could provide a very fitting home for you.”
“Pass,” Peter said.Series

Summary
An unknown spider-mutate helps a murder-convict escape from prison. The Avengers assemble. All with terribly inconvenient timing to recently dumped Tony Stark, who would much rather sit around in his bathrobe and feel sorry for himself. Instead, he needs to pull himself together enough to catch both the escaped convict and the Spider-Man, and figure out the truth behind the accusations.
Before he knows it, he is far, far more involved in this case than he ever expected to be.The convict’s name: May Parker.

Summary
It's a self insert fic. You know the drill.
Featuring a grumpy protagonist who wants mochi, clean socks, and to maintain possession of their life and eyeballs in that order, a troll-dad sensei who's genuinely trying to understand the pint sized weirdos he's been saddled with but isn't sure where to start, and two team mates who are honest to god twelve year olds who canonically didn't mature until after the handy dandy time skip.
Where, please, is the unsubscribe button, because I'd like to request a different afterlife.

“Todoroki?” He looked up. Midoriya.
“Hey.” he threw the paper towel in the trash.
“What’s on your shoes?” Todoroki looked down. They were still splashed with vomit. Fuck. The shiny bile winked at him from the surface of the pleather.
“I spilled some water on them while washing my hands,” he tried, grabbing a paper towel to wipe them off.
“Bullshit.”
"What?"

Summary
Aizawa sighs. “I want to know about your plans for the future, kid. You interned under Endeavor after you got your provisional, but that doesn’t really give me much to go on. What kind of hero do you want to be? What kind of work do you want to do, who do you want to save?”
“Oh,” Shoto says. What… a layered question. How the hell does he answer that?
It’s hard to know what you want when knowing what you want has never gotten you any results. Shoto doesn’t tend to ask for things because usually there’s no point to it. He wonders if Aizawa could make it so that there’s a point to it.or,
The first step of healing is admitting there is a problem. The second is asking for help. Neither of those are things Shoto is particularly good at.
