Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.
---
Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

Summary
For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's. Steve's pretty clearly failed to live up to his expectations, in any case, and that's not hypocritical at all.

Summary
Peter sits back up to lean against the back of the seat again, and the nurse gently places a paper cup of water in his hand. Peter’s grateful that she doesn’t try to speak to him as he catches his breath, she just fetches a clean container for Peter to use in case he needs to puke again and takes away the trashcan. The sips of cool water are something for Peter to focus on, and he tries to stay in that mental zone for as long as possible, tuning out everything else. As he does, he realizes there’s only one person who could A) be his secondary contact, and B) get across Midtown in twenty minutes in the middle of the day. Mr. Stark.
.
.
.Peter has sensory overload at school, and Mr. Stark comes to pick him up. Good thing Mr. Stark is a suprisingly good mentor.

Summary
“So here’s the deal,” Tony says. “Here’s what’s rumbling in the back of my mind. That bookstore we just came from, I knew the previous owner. Her name was Mary. I got her knocked up, and then waved all my parental rights while the bun was still firmly in the oven. Didn’t even take a peek in the oven. Never saw her again, never saw the kid. Don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.”
“Say all that again,” Harley says, “but slowly, and using way more words.”

Summary
“Hi there,” Tony Stark says.
“Go away,” Peter replies. The drainpipe he is leaning against digs into his back, reminding him he doesn’t have a lot of room for escape.
“Can’t I buy you dinner?”
“Nope.” He shouldn’t refuse, probably. But the way Tony Stark stares at him, a bit like how a detective would study a cadaver, is giving him a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.
“Why not?” the man asks. He holds out both hands, palms turned upward. A ‘Look, safe’-sort of gesture. “I’ll let you pick the place.”
“Oh, goodie. And later will you let me pick where you’re going to bury my dead body?”- Language:

The fifth stage of grief by Bergen
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies)
19 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Look.
Losing someone close to you is rough. Grief is a strange thing, it affects appetite, sleep patterns, mood. May had reassured Peter many times that he was not crazy for feeling crazy. That he simply needed to give himself time.
He also read about the process of grief in a pamphlet Happy gave him.
So, when he gets back from the funeral at the lake house and walks into his bedroom to find Mr. Stark lying on the rug, ankles crossed, twirling his thumbs, and generally looking extremely alive…
…well…
…clearly this is what the pamphlet meant with ‘denial’ being the first stage of grief.- Language:

Summary
Peter got a Stark phone when he was ten. Adrian took him to a big store with lots of TV screens that all played the same video of Tony Stark declaring to the world that he was Iron Man. They ducked behind the microwaves, both of them giggling as Adrian stuffed the phone under Peter’s sweater.
They walked right out the door without tripping the alarm, and Adrian bought him ice cream to celebrate.

After his parents die, Peter is taken in by the Toomes family. Things slowly, then quickly spiral out of control. All Adrian wants is to take revenge on Tony Stark. All Peter wants is to do the right thing. Why is that so much harder than expected?- Language:

Summary
Tony’s eye is drawn to one candidate in particular. A kid wearing a suit he looks so uncomfortable in that it’s shooting straight past comical to just heartbreakingly endearing. Chewing on the nail of his thumb, his knee bobbing up and down. Drops his pen, and then drops his clipboard when he bends down to pick up the pen.
“Call him in first.”

Or: Pepper is interviewing potential new interns, each one looking more nervous than the last. Including one pale but determined kid named Peter Parker. What he has to say is not at all what Tony had expected.

Summary
“This young man claims to have been invited by you personally.”
Tony has learned to read Happy’s expressions. That one is disapproval, and it’s highly familiar. “Peter is helping me out in the workshop today.”
“Why?”
“Uh.” Tony has enough presence of mind not to carelessly throw Peter’s alternative identity around. “He won a competition.”
Happy’s expression flickers, grows tense. “I did not approve any competition that included a trip to Avengers Tower.”
“Okay. Well. If we had theoretically organized a competition, he would definitely have won it.”
-
Tony’s life lately has been a perfect storm of incompetence. But perhaps he can get some solid spiritual advice from a mischievous teenager with a secret identity he meets by the side of the road one evening, like a lucky little leprechaun. If only Happy would stop being so paranoid about Tony inviting a random kid into Avengers Tower, sheesh.- Language:

Summary
Bucky returns from a ninety-five-day-long mission to find a scrawny boy poking the lock of their supply closet. There is no way a random petty thief would be able to step into the compound for casual robbery, which is the only reason why Bucky doesn’t take the intruder into an immediate head lock.
“I think I’ll go warn the Avengers about you.”
The intruder lifts his chin and crosses his arms. “Good luck. But for your information, they all really like me.”
“Is that right.”
“Yes,” he says, and he adds, still in that menacing tone: “they think I’m adorable.”Series

A precious commodity by Bergen

Summary
Taking HYDRA down isn’t all that easy when you have a former HYDRA-teenager following you around like a duckling. Peter doesn’t particularly seem to care who he gets to follow around, as long as it is someone.
Most of the clothes they gave the boy are a few sizes too big. He keeps tripping over his pant legs. Which both endears Tony and every so often gives him a mini heart attack when Peter yelps and disappears behind a table again.
Somehow attempting to parent this incredibly resourceful, incredibly awkward, incredibly unpredictable, incredibly teenage teenager, is simply becoming part of daily life in the Avenger household.Series

Summary
They attack the HYDRA safe house shortly before sunrise.
The only people defending said safe house are Peter and Leo, and Leo slams his cell door open and starts spitting out orders, but then promptly gets clobbered over the head and keels sideways.
So that just leaves Peter. And he’s not even going to try to fight a whole team of Avengers. He looks up at Iron Man filling the doorway. “I surrender.”
He has never been captured before and he’s not sure what to do. Escape, probably.Series

Summary
A story about coffee, carjackers, and co-dad management.
Spider-Man is unpredictable and chaotic, never says no to free food and seems to spend most his time directing traffic. This rookie is in desperate need of a chaperone. And Tony doesn’t want to do it, but he’ll bear the burden as gracefully as he always does.
Local teen Peter Parker never wears warm enough clothes, and can’t always sleep at home for reasons he refuses to go into. So if the Avengers really expect Sam to join their hippie-commune-cult, someone is going to have to look after this kid for him.- Language:

“Your parents have been grooming you to take over the company, correct? You’ve been working closely alongside them, alongside their best scientists and technicians. I’m sure you’ve learned a fair deal. We could use that expertise at Stark Industries.”
“Essentially,” Parker says, “you want to pay me to reveal my parents’ company secrets.”
“Yes,” Tony says, cheerfully. “Thank you for catching on so quickly.”
—
Tony’s week just turned a lot more promising: Rich kid Peter Parker has apparently dropped out of college and provoked the ire of his parents. A delicious scandal for the tabloids. And an opportunity too good to waste, even if it means putting up with a snooty, preppy college kid as his new intern.- Language:

It all started the way it usually did; with Tony doubting his own sanity.
“Happy,” he said, turning the paper over, then turning it back, squinting at it. “What the hell is this?”
Happy barely glanced up from his phone. “How should I know? I just drive you around, I don’t try to understand your designs. You’re the one who left it in the back of the car yesterday.”
Tony turned the paper towards Happy, tapping a finger against the scribbles in the margin. “I didn’t write that. I thought it, but I didn’t write it. What sorcery is this?”
“Oh shit, sorry,” Happy said, expression resigned. “I’m guessing the kid went through them when I drove him to school this morning. He has no regard for personal boundaries.”
“The kid.”
“Um— My girlfriend, she has a—“
“Your stepson did these calculations?”
“That’s not entirely—“
“Bring him to me,” Tony commanded.- Language:
