    Summary

    Second year. Same number on his back, same field beneath his feet - but everything was different now.

    Sam’s sophomore season had started strong: his heart was stable, the team tighter than ever, and his dad even let him ride shotgun without triple-checking his seatbelt. But recovery wasn’t a straight line, and healing didn’t mean the past stayed quiet.

    When flickers of something other started bleeding into Sam’s waking life - visions, static, doors that weren’t there a second ago - he did what he’d always done: kept his head down, held it in. His teammates worried. His dad asked. But Sam shut them out, just far enough to keep the truth buried. Something was watching, and it knew his name.

    Soccer, school, family, survival. Sam had juggled all four. But this season, it wasn’t just his future on the line. It was his reality.

    Summary

    It started with the exhaustion. Peter Parker was used to exhaustion. It came with the territory—late nights swinging across the city, keeping the streets safe, balancing school, homework, clubs, and being part of the Stark family. But this was different; it had taken on a new weight, something that sleep didn’t fix. His limbs ached, his head pounded, and his vision blurred at the worst times.
    It was getting harder to pretend everything was fine.

    Summary

    Tony knows something is up when the research of ex-Hydra agents gets recycled in an underground Oscorp lab… what he doesn’t expect is the boy in a hospital gown sticking to the ceiling; or, how said boy proceeds to imprint on him like a baby duckling (a poor decision on his part, really). Did he mention he wasn’t intending on bringing home a kid that day?

    Summary

    Tony had dragged Peter from the depths of despair after May's death. It was normal that he'd grown to care a little about him, right?

    Yeah, okay. He freaking loved the kid.

    So naturally he would feel a little weird when Richard Parker randomly shows up in Peter's life. Naturally he'd feel protective, nervous, and confused because where has Richard been all this time? And why does Tony feel sick every time he sees him around Peter?

    All he knows is if Richard hurts his kid, Tony's gonna give him hell.

    Summary

    After joining the notorious gang of bandits known as the Avengers almost six months ago, Peter had learnt two things very quickly. One, nature was filled with wonderful, beautiful creations, from the land to the animals to the ever-expanding sky that watched over them. And two, nature was absolutely brutal.

    But even if the road was harsh and the seasons unforgiving, it seemed far less daunting with a team as fierce as the Avengers at his side. The sun less blazing when the Iron Bandit dropped his hat over Peter’s head, and the rain less icy when a familiar black jacket was draped over his shoulders.

    Tony never said a word when he made such gracious gestures, and Peter never dared to mention them in fear of him taking it back. Not that the bandit ever would. No, if there was one thing Peter was certain of, it was that the Iron Bandit was a man of his word. The promise he had given the boy to keep him alive, to keep him safe since that night back at the farm had never once been broken, and there was not a day that went by that Peter didn’t silently thank the man for all he had done.
