    Summary

    “That was a disaster. The press is having a field day.”
    “It wasn’t my fault,” Tony defends. “That Spider-Guy never knows when to shut up. He distracted me.”
    “Your reputation took a blow,” Pepper tells him. “Which will be fixed, of course. I’ve already set it up.”
    “Set what up? What, am I going to make flower arrangements with the elderly?”
    Pepper slides a piece of paper towards him. “Try an orphan. His name is Peter Parker. His biggest dream is to meet you. But…” She hesitates.
    “But?”
    “Apparently he doesn’t talk much. Sometimes not at all. Trauma-related.”
    “A smart kid who doesn’t talk? Perfect combination. If only all my employees were like that.”
    ---
    Or: Between Peter Parker barely speaking, and Spider-Man being the ultimate chatterbox, how was Tony ever supposed to figure out that they were one and the same person?

    Summary

    “I hate my life,” Alex says, walking into the studio, directly into the arm of the couch and face planting on to it.

    “Hey!” Reggie yelps as Alex’s torso drapes across his lap. He shifts under Alex and huffs.

    “Did you break a nail again?” Luke asks and, like, screw him, does he know how uncomfortable playing the drums is with a broken nail?

    Julie, lovely Julie, is the only one who loves him, and she demonstrates this by walking over and crouching down in front of him. She cards her fingers through his hair and hums. “What’s up, Alex?”

    “Babysitter,” he says. She’s quiet. He blinks up at her and she’s got a confused look on her face, which, like, okay, that’s fair. That’s not much to go on. “Cute babysitter.”

    (*)

    or: the Mercers lose their babysitter for Alex’s younger siblings and are left scrambling to find a new one. Their new hire is maybe a bit of a problem for Alex.

    Summary

    When Julie wakes up in 1995, with her very much alive Phantoms, just days before their show at the Orpheum, she's got to figure out how to get back to her time. Why is she here? For what reason was she brought here? Will she ever really get used to Alex, Luke and Reggie being... well, alive? How is she supposed to explain this to them without sounding crazy?

    She'd thought telling Flynn she could not only see, but could play music with, three twenty-five year old teenaged ghosts would make her sound insane-- but, what about telling those same three ghosts (who were very much alive here) that she was from twenty-five years in the future, where they were in fact ghosts? That might just top telling Flynn about the guys on the crazy scale.

    Summary

    'Luke rests a hand on his shoulder.
    "Dude, you have to calm down. We're here to have a good time, right? Just the six of us, two weeks at the sea, free food and the Caribbean. Honestly, I don't get how you aren't excited. I mean, look at Reggie. He's excited."
    Reggie nods effusively, licking his ice cream. "I am."
    Alex knows he should be thankful and excited and everything that his friends are, but there's this anxiety nagging at the back of his head, an insect-like buzzing that tells him that a lot of things could go wrong. He's seen Titanic a lof of times, okay? It's a good movie. And he knows how it ends.'

    Or, Alex falls in love with a cruise ship worker, and it's even more complicated than you think it is.
