    Summary

    “What’s going on?” Tony asks, walking over to the security guard. The man is sitting at his desk and talking to a kid who’s gesturing animatedly. “Is it bring your kid to work day or something?”

    “Hi!” the kid says, smiling brightly and waving at Tony. “I’m Peter.”

    “He says he’s, uh…” The guard seems to be at a loss.

    “You’re my dad!” Peter says, still smiling brightly.

    Tony’s whole body flinches.

    ---

    An AU of The Game Plan, set right after Civil War and featuring a very lonely Tony Stark with poor coping mechanisms; a very young Peter Parker who is losing track of how many lies he’s told; and a very busy Pepper Potts who is starting to see her ex-boyfriend in a new light.

    Summary

    The top story on Buzzfeed on February 16, 2017, is “Everything We Know About Peter Parker, Who May or May Not Actually Be Peter Stark.” Turns out Tony Stark might have been hiding the fact that he has a kid all these years. We’re just as shocked as you are, the subheadline reads.

    It should be an easy rumor to dispel, seeing as it’s not true. But, it turns out, nothing is ever quite that simple when dealing with a celebrity scandal.

    - - -

    In which Tony is Very Famous™️ and that bleeds over into fans paying attention to the people around him as well. Which includes Peter, now. And would be fine, if they would all just stop assuming that Tony is his dad.

    Summary

    Tony Stark had lost his son when he was only 2 years old, stolen away in broad daylight with nobody the wiser of what exactly happened. Years later, Tony has just made it through the disaster with Ultron. He is trying to keep himself and the team together but relationships are strained and tempers are running high.
    Then a random turn of events leads to his path crossing with that of a particular vigilante. They are strangers to each other, or so they think.

    Peter Parker is on top of the world. After a few shitty years, losing his parents and then losing his Uncle, things are finally looking up. Sure he lives in a crappy little apartment with his Aunt but he might have just found his mission in life.

    ------

    This is an AU story obvious by some of the tags. I'm starting out a few weeks after Age of Ultron took place. Civil War will be a thing.

    Summary

    Peter Parker was back from the dead. At least that is what everybody told him. He'd been snapped out of existence until some sort of time travel and an active death wish by his mentor had saved him and the universe. Just your average sort of life for a 16 year old from Queens.

    Peter comes back to find May has a husband and a kid. A new family he has to fit into. But he has done it before, he can do it again.

    The only thing that feels solid is Tony: the Blip and fatherhood have mellowed him and Peter loves the bond they have now. He knows Tony would be there for him through anything. But Tony needs to focus on his own recovery - not small time Peter Parker problems. When things at home take a turn for the worse, Peter decides that he'll handle it himself. He is Spider-man. He's been to space and fought aliens. He can get through anything. After all, if May is happy, he is happy, right? Right?

    Summary

    "I'm sorry. Repeat that again." Tony leaned forward in his seat from across the table. He even stuck a finger in his ear as if he was cleaning it out. "I don't think I heard you right."

    Fury rolled his eyes-- or well, eye. "You and Rogers need to go undercover as a married couple in a community out on Long Island."

    --

    After Civil War, Tony and Steve are sent on an undercover mission as a couple to try and find Hydra informants. Somehow, they end up with Peter as their undercover son who decides to play matchmaker even if the two of them are doing their best to ignore their feelings after Siberia.

    Summary

    Peter Parker's known for his entire life that things just don't work out for him. Not with an Uncle prone to violence and his apartment on the wrong side of run-down. He's made peace with that, used Spider-Man as an outlet for the hunger and bruises.

    But then Tony Stark shows up, dressed in an expensive suit and carrying an internship opportunity. Peter can balance that on top of everything. He can keep a secret, he knows he can. And keeping this from Tony Stark won't be much different. Won't it?

    Summary

    When Tony made an off-hand comment about adopting a child, he never expected Steve would jump on the idea so quickly. He definitely didn't expect to adopt two kids. And even if they did expect to love them dearly, they weren't ready for the fierce protectiveness that raged within them for their boys. They couldn't save them from the past, but they could protect them from the future and whatever dared to threaten their safety.

    Through fostering Harley and Peter, Steve and Tony learn a lot from them, who have experienced more than any child ever should. But they have something to teach the boys themselves: family doesn't end in blood.

    Summary

    The Avengers find themselves in need of Spider-Man’s help to improve their reputation. Peter Parker, however, doesn't exactly have the best reputation: he has been dabbling in a life of crime.

    Tony really doesn't care about picking up after some degenerate teen.
    Peter really doesn't care about some dumb adults telling him what to do.

    And nothing will ever, ever change their minds.

    Summary

    Dammit, it’s that stupid governmental initiative. Peter clenched his fist against the desk, resisting the urge to shake his head at the small print; Secretary of Education, Maria Rosendale, maintains the nation-wide Open For All initiative for the enhancement of students and progressive learning by taking the classroom to the companies.

    It's that delightful time of the year again: the Field Trip and, of course, it's to Stark Industries because where else would it be with Peter's luck?

    //Starts off as field trip trope, goes into something more//

    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.
