    Summary

    After Civil War, Tony Stark’s lawyers tell him exactly how fragile Peter Parker’s future really is: one scandal, one injury, one bad ruling, and the fifteen-year-old boy Tony dragged out of a group home could be taken from him.

    Tony joins Asterbridge House to make sure that never happens.

    Stephen Strange joins because he has seen too many futures where power, duty, and isolation turn him into something brilliant and inhuman, and he wants an anchor before there is nothing left worth saving.

    Neither of them expects Peter Parker to be the center of the match.

    Then Steve Rogers pushes for an independent review of Peter’s home life, Norman Osborn starts pulling on threads he should never have found, and Peter’s school, his routine, and his secret identity stop being safe all at once.

    Somewhere between first dates, family integration reviews, panic attacks, tech summits, and a war declared on Tony’s home front, strategy becomes attachment, attachment becomes family, and family becomes the thing worth fighting for.
