    Summary

    Peter couldn’t remember the last time he could just… breathe.

    Instead, he sits on the edge of an apartment building’s roof and rolls up the bottom of his mask, gulps in burning lungfuls of the unforgiving night air, and tugs his mask back on. Crime stops for no one, not even Spiderman.

    Or: May dies, and Peter devolves into homelessness and isolation. Past demons reappear, old wars are waged, and it feels like Peter has no one to turn to, not even Mr. Stark. Like always, Peter’s life gets better before it gets worse, and it gets worse before it gets better.

    Summary

    When Team Red started, and people took notice, a general consensus rose. No one knew how it started, but the idea that a weaker lied within the ‘team’ became common knowledge. See, Daredevil’s claim to fame was putting people into comas or taking down huge crime bosses. Deadpool’s reputation... everyone knew the merc with a mouth’s reputation.

    Spider-Man... was your friendly neighborhood hero. Technically a vigilante, but a hero. He was kinder, softer, helped mundane people with mundane things. He wasn’t some big monster. Being a part of Team Red seemed akin to a little brother following his older siblings around because they were cool. Sure, when they fought together, Spider-Man’s fangs were sharper while the older two took less violent messures. Since they teamed up, Deadpool’s monthly kill count dropped, and Daredevil no longer caused terror in ordinary citizens along with the criminals. So, most considered Spider-Man non-essential, unimportant.

    Until, Spider-Man went missing, and all the city learned that Spider-Man held a very, very vital role in Team Red. After all, when dealing with these vicious vigilantes and deadly mercenaries, someone had to keep the monsters on the right side of the path.

    Summary

    “Why are you making such a big deal over this?!” Peter all but growls, wishing he hadn't agreed to be trapped in such a small space with Tony.

    “Because kid, I made a promise! So it would be in your best interest to listen to what I have to say."

    “You mean your best interest.”

    Tony slams on the breaks, startling Peter. Cars honk behind him, but their complaints go unnoticed as he swerves to the side of the road, turning his head and shouting “What has gotten into you Peter?!”

    “What do you care?” Peter asks, Anger simmering and on the verge of exploding.

    “I care a lot. Now ‘fess up kiddo, or do I have to call May?”

    The car gets quiet, the low rumble of the vehicle mixing with the labored breaths of its occupants. Tony is glaring at Peter, who reaches for the door handle.

    “Go right ahead, won’t help anyway. Calling a dead person won't magically get them to answer.”

    Summary

    Homecoming AU.

    Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

    So he leaves.

    Simple.

    Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

    And that’s when things get complicated.
