    Summary

    Ryland Grace, AP Biology teacher and Academic Decathlon supervisor of Midtown High, is hit with the news that he would have to fill in as student chaperone on a field trip to his alma mater, UC Berkeley.

    Halfway across the world, Colt Gentry Seavers calls his twin brother to tell him he was coming home.

    At the Compound, Tony Stark is put on (unnecessary) probation and now has a very familiar, very brooding shadow on his heels.

    And in the middle of it all, Peter Parker, is weirdly insistent on being on the field trip to UC Berkeley, and also weirdly against Grace being a student chaperone for it. Whatever that meant.

    ---
    Or: Grace is trying not to have an aneurysm as he has to deal with his weirdly-jittery student, two brothers who fake-died on him and never explained why, and a certain genius billionaire who decides that this was the perfect time to re-enter his life.

    Summary

    "- and Mr. Grace really took most of the fall for me and honestly I feel kinda bad because he's already in trouble with Principal Morita for that thing he said to the Brooklyn Visions' coach at the last Academic Decathlon and-"

    Peter's voice whittles down to a high pitched whistle, forgetting that he needs to breathe to continue creating more sound.

    After a few more agonizing seconds during which Peter weighs the possibilities that he just gave his mentor and the savior of the world a heart attack, Mr. Stark looks up at him, eyes suddenly wide.

    A beat passes.

    "What's your teacher's name again?"

    AKA, Ryland Grace and Tony Stark hooked up in college. This is fine, until 20 years later, Peter Parker gets involved. It's all downhill from there.

    Summary

    The man reaches for a screwdriver, returning to fiddling with the gear in front of him, “What, you don’t want to? Are you embarrassed of us? Embarrassed of me? Really, kid, I thought that you—”

    “I’m not embarrassed,” Peter rushes to defend himself, “I just… I don’t know. It’s weird. I live here. We’re basically going on a tour of my house. And half my classmates don’t believe that I’ve even stepped foot in the tower, so they’re all going to be weird about it tomorrow, and it’s… it’s weird. But I’m not embarrassed.”

    “Great! If you’re not embarrassed, you don’t mind if I tag along, right?”

    His eyes widen, and he gapes, mouth opening and closing wordlessly like a fish out of water. He thinks about Mr Stark meeting Dr Grace, and decides the longer he can go without an impromptu teacher-parent meeting, the better.

     

    or

     

    Of all the things Peter thought would happen on their field trip, finding out that his parental figure used to date his science teacher was not one of them.

    Summary

    The Sokovia Accords were supposed to leash the Avengers. Instead, they gave Eva Stratt a shopping list for the end of the world.

    Fresh off the bleeding edge of Siberia, a broken Tony Stark discovers the sun is dying—and that Stratt has weaponized his stolen genetic records in an attempt to draft him for a four-year, one-way suicide mission into the dark. At the Compound alongside Dr. Ryland Grace, a rumpled junior high science teacher who just figured out how the solar parasite breeds, Tony is forced into a chaotic partnership over volatile space sludge.

    To Stratt, sacrificing three lives to save seven billion is basic math. To Tony Stark, a one-way ticket isn't a tragic necessity—it’s just a design flaw. It’s time to break the rules, rewrite the physics, and make damn sure the universe's most expensive floating coffin gets a steering wheel.

    And he, and Doctor Ryland Grace, would not be taking it.
