Summary

“Here are your personal effects as submitted at the time of your arrest.” The officer said, sliding a clear bag through the plexiglass into Peter’s hands. Upending the bag, a black wallet, set of keys and a single gold ring fall out onto the counter.
When he’d been arrested and tried, May had begged him to keep his head down.
‘Don’t pick fights, don’t talk back, and Peter please. Please. Do not cause trouble that’s going to keep you there any longer than you have to be.’
He had done his best keeping his promise to her during this time - four years, arrested and found guilty of obstruction of justice - but he wasn’t in prison anymore.
Peter Parker was a free man, and he is tired of holding his tongue.
Alternatively: Peter Parker stages a heist for the good of New York.

Any Other Name Is A Scandal by abcd_em

Summary

MJ rounds the corner to the kitchen and expecting to see Pepper and James at the counter, instead confronted with the sight of Peter Parker perched on the breakfast bar speaking with FRIDAY like he belongs there.
MJ might not spend the most amount of time in the tower but she is fairly certain that he does not.
Through some cosmic intervention, Peter Parker is apparently a person her father trusts enough to say, “Peter, this is my daughter, Michelle… Although, you two seem to know each other already. Anyone wanna catch me up on that?”

Merry Christmas (Please Don't Call) by abcd_em

Summary

Behind the counter is Peter Parker, someone Ned technically shouldn’t even know the name of, except that he does.
Ned completely got his memories back a few months ago. Peter Parker had taken up so much space in his life that it was nearly impossible to ignore the massive gap in his memories, even as his unconscious mind tried to redirect him away from questioning it too much, he found that the decade long space that Peter occupied was too much.
It took him three weeks after he got his memories back to tell MJ. The ordeal wasn’t something he wanted to put anyone through, let alone if she would even believe him, but he had to. She deserved to know.
Neither of them have tried to reach out to Peter. MJ had seemed adamant that she wouldn’t at all. She was rightfully angry and believed herself to have moved on. Ned wasn’t sure he could agree, but he wasn’t going to take that decision away from her.
Ironically, the universe hadn’t given Ned the same choice.

Summary

“Maybe MJ does actually like Boston. It’s quieter than the city. And maybe, you’re projecting your own stress about your finals on to your friends?”
Caring about his own failing grades when he was doomed to repeat the year, didn't matter. Gwen already had a job secured– her last few grades wouldn’t affect her position there but she didn’t settle.
Peter liked that most about her.
Gwen inhales, hip resting against the counter as she watches him dry her mug. Were these the small little moments he had missed when he was busy thinking about his next patrol?

Summary

She doesn’t know if it’s been minutes or hours, by the time she hears it. Like muscle memory, MJ lifts her gaze to the rooftops.
He’s maskless, grinning down at her from the rooftop of that abandoned cafe like she’s the only thing in a ten-mile radius worth looking at and speaking in that voice that feels to MJ a little bit like coming home and a little bit like she never left at all.
“Now what on God’s green earth,” Peter Parker calls down to her from his perch, eyes sparkling with mirth, “is a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?"
The way he asks— posture relaxed and mask forgotten, eyes crinkled like the whole thing is some big inside joke— it’s like he already knows the answer.
It’s like she does, too.

Summary

It takes time for Peter to adjust to his new schedule for patrolling, the desire to be home with his growing family taking precedence.
More than anything, his new patrolling schedule meant he got to be home with his family more often, refusing to miss any milestone.
With Sloane, who’d relished in prolonging bedtime with longer stories and requests for cuddles in bed while they looked at the glow in the dark stars he’d hung on her ceiling amidst her love for astrology.
With Oliver, who at five months old seemed to be getting older faster than Peter could comprehend, coming home from work to find he’d learned something new while he was gone, his little personality showing glimpses of shining through.
With MJ, who he somehow fell in love with even more each day, savoring their quiet evenings catching up on their TV shows or watching movies, unwinding from making it through the day as parents of two kids.
--
Peter and MJ navigate life as a family of four.

Summary

When May Met Sally the series; alternate scenes, alternate POVs, outtakes, missing scenes, etc.
To no one’s surprise, I have plenty of ideas and thoughts for what happens in this world. No promises on expanding everything but if you had the thought “I wonder what Percy was doing during X” or “what did Peter think about y” there’s a good chance I did too (and might end up writing it).
(mostly) canon compliant:
• beginning post-The Lightning Thief and ending after The Blood of Olympus
• beginning pre-Civil War and ending post-No Way Home.
1. When May Met Sally: Main Fic
2. i’ll call you mine: divergent scene from Chapter 8
3. When Tony Met Sally: Tony POV, Chapters 8-15

Summary

The ache in his chest pulls at him, in a way that feels suffocating as Peter closes his eyes and tries hard not to think of how Harry had looked at him in the seconds before he–
Not died– he’s alive, Miles brought him back but it’s different now, worse than it had been when he was in “Europe” for a treatment plan that neither he nor MJ knew about.
Now, Peter knows exactly where Harry is and what his days look like, knows the full extent of his injuries and the lack of brain activity that if Norman Obsorn were a gentler man, might have let Harry go.
Peter exhales, hating himself for thinking that way. There was a chance, small as it was, that Harry could wake up again– Peter refused to let go of that small hope. If Norman Osborn could hold on to it, Peter could too.
Or:
Peter takes a break.
