    Summary

    A before, in which Arthur gets something he doesn't deserve. An after, in which he gets something he knows he does.

    And the aftermath, in which he falls apart and comes back together.

    Summary

    ...and one thing that always remains the same.

     

    (SPOILERS FOR INFINITY WAR)

     

    Peter knows he’s different now.

    The first three months were like a bubble. He didn’t think about the newness of his old life, he didn’t think about the state of the world now that it had been saved—he just worried. Worried about Tony and Steve recovering. Worried about May worrying about him. Worried about everything in general—he didn’t allow himself specifics because specifics didn’t make sense, not yet. He just focused on his routine, kept it normal, the same schedule every day so he didn’t throw himself off.

    It felt like the bubble popped when the party ended, and everything became clearer. The differences in who he is now were highlighted, like there was a spotlight on his every move, like everybody could see the invisible scars the world-ending experience left on him.

    The first thing he notices is the sleeping. Or lack thereof.

    (a follow up to my story "the rattle of their hearts" from Peter's POV. You can read this one without having read the original, but it would make more sense if you have read it!)

    Summary

    Tony pulls over, rolling down his window just a few inches, only for his eyebrows to raise as the figure pulls off its mask.

    It’s just a boy, he realizes. He doesn’t look more than 14 or 15, and he’s wearing some over-the-top superhero costume with a spider design on its chest. But that’s not what Tony focuses on– no, what he focuses on is the way the kid is holding an arm protectively over his stomach.

    “Hi– uh, could I get a ride p-please?”

    Summary

    ... and one time he did not.

    Post Spider-Man: Homecoming — Tony is just trying his damn hardest to keep this reckless kid from Queens safe, but it's hard when Peter is, occasionally, ridiculous as all hell.

    Summary

    Josephine Davis was saved from a deranged father by none other than the Van der Linde gang in 1878, and this fic follows her life as she grows up alongside Arthur, and, as these things usually go, falls for him.

    Purely self-indulgent.
