    Summary

    “Hey, hey, I’m en route to you now, kid. Just hold on a bit longer for me, okay?”

    Through the din and fog of his ringing ears, he could only vaguely hear the older man's voice attempting to soothe him. And it was in that exact moment that he wished he had been more forthcoming with Tony.

    Maybe then he wouldn’t be in this situation, with an ominous man walking towards him—tilting and turning sideways, like he was melting. With a start, he realized it was, in fact, he who was the one doing the tilting. He couldn’t seem to stop himself, and his head smacked painfully against the pavement as he dropped.

    Silently, he sent a prayer out into the universe, hoping something would be merciful enough to answer it.

    Please, please, please, let Mr. Stark find me.

    or; Everyone Peter has ever cared about has left him. A stint in the foster system, a radioactive spider-bite, and one secret identity later, leads him to the conclusion that enough is enough and he does the only thing left that he can think of: he makes a run for it.

    He just never expected that Tony Stark would be the one to find him.

    Summary

    Tony steeled himself for something. A tearful embrace, maybe a hug that turned into an iron grip around the throat. Instead, Peter dropped his duffel on the couch he had just spent an hour perfecting. A small death inside.
    Right,” Tony muttered, clearing his throat. “So—”
    “When am I going home?”
    Sharp. No warm-up. Kid even left the earbuds in, music leaking loud enough to prove the point: not listening. Then he flopped onto the cushions with an undue hardness.
    Tony swallowed the wince. “Wow. Okay. Straight to the big existential. You only just got here.”
    Peter shrugged, gaze fixed somewhere past him. “Yeah. I know.”


    Tony Stark met Mary Parker at a party. Fourteen years later, there’s a furious teenager on his couch and a past he thought he’d buried at the door. Peter is brilliant, guarded, and far too old for fourteen. Between boardrooms & blown circuits, Tony’s learning the difference between fixing a problem and raising a kid. What he doesn’t see are the late calls, the easy lies, the ghosts in Peter’s orbit that smile too wide and take too much. Money and tech—none of it can patch what’s failing. But Tony’s starting to understand: some things are worth breaking for.

    Summary

    Peter has always known, since the days that he was capable of proper, cognitive thought, that he was a bad boy and that no one loved him.

    He'd also known, since he was very young that his father is billionaire and national hero, Tony Stark.

    But he probably doesn't love him either.

    Summary

    After an encounter with an overly-enthusiastic mugger, Peter finds himself recovering in Avengers Tower, under the watchful eye of Tony Stark. Between healing up a nasty injury, a mentor that was mother-henning him way too much, and two snarky A.Is who refused to give him a break, Peter discovers that maybe, just maybe, he isn't as observant as he really thought.
