    Summary

    8 year-old Morgan is struggling after the death of her mom. Her dad is working non-stop and her extended family of emotionally constipated superheroes are just as uncomfortable with her grief as their own. To top it off, she can't stop dreaming about a brother she's never had and all the trouble he might be in. When she convinces Tony to take her with him on a work trip to Caltech, she meets a student who looks a lot like the boy in her dreams. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem very interested in her. Good thing her dad always knows what to do.

    A sort of No Way Home, Everyone Lives (Except May and Pepper) Fix It story, where Morgan channels major Pepper Potts vibes, Tony channels major concerned Dad vibes, and Peter channels major college age-Tony Stark vibes. Served with a splash of angst, a heap of trauma, and a sprig of making adults take proper care of one depressed spider child.

    Summary

    Pain, Peter’s learned, is relative.

    Subjective. Fleeting. Impossible to measure.

    He knew from his biology classes that pain was less a feeling but more of a chemical— neurons traveling together and communicating. Brain synapses signaling to each other what is, what was, what will be.

    Pain is intangible, objectively speaking.

    Right up until the moment it isn’t.

    Summary

    Peter bit his lip hesitantly. Would he have been a good teacher? It sounded nice but it’s not like it was even possible.

    “There’s a teacher shortage,” she went on, digging through her bag for her keys. “The city’s doing a loan forgiveness program—college tuition covered if you agree to teach in one of the inner-city schools.”

    He blinked in surprise. “Really?”

    Or: The AU fic where a forgotten Peter Parker becomes a middle school science teacher at 19 years old.

    It's an Irondad story...eventually.

     

    Be back soon!
