    Summary

    In which... Peter's AP Psychology teacher assigns a project centered around fathers and father figures, and Peter has to swallow his pride and fear of rejection to ask the only person in his life that can somewhat qualify under those terms—Tony Stark.

    “So… you’re struggling to find a role model?” he says, the hurt exaggerated but the undertone suspiciously genuine. “Because, kid, I’ve got to admit—I’m pretty offended. You’ve got prime real estate sitting right here.”

    He gestures to himself, throwing in a dramatic flourish for good measure. “Do you know how many people are lining up, just begging for an interview with the Tony Stark? A lot. And they’re all waitlisted, by the way, because I don’t do interviews anymore.”

    Peter glances at him, fighting back a grin. He can already see the spark in Tony’s eye—the itch to climb onto his soapbox and launch into a tirade about how modern interviewers lack imagination. It’s one of Tony’s favorite topics, right up there with “how coffee in America is an abomination” and “the absolute travesty of poorly designed tech.”

    Summary

    In which Tony Stark has told the Rogues time and time again that calling in Spider-Man is not an option on the table... and yet, Steve Rogers thinks he knows best.

    “I’m just saying, Tony, logistically speaking, having the Spider-Guy here would be a huge help,” Steve says, his tone even and infuriatingly reasonable.

    Tony’s fists clench, his patience wearing thinner than the Arc Reactor’s plating. “And I’m telling you, no. Not a chance. Spider-Man is off-limits,” he snaps, his voice sharp enough to cut through the tension hanging in the air.

    Summary

    Also, turns out… Death wasn’t good nutrition for a relationship. Especially not when said relationship was probably the most unhealthy known to the public. He and Pepper had broken up more times than he’d kept track off. Getting in that relationship had been a risk. Getting engaged had been a risk.

    Then he lost Peter.

    He lost half the people he knew.

    Then he tried again. Tried to make things right. And Pepper let him, even though she knew the risks. Then he died.

    Turns out, that was the last straw.

    He’d been in the ICU. He’d burnt half his face off. He’d lost his arm – however he’d been gifted a mechanical one from Wakanda. – Golden, like his heart, was what Shuri had said.

    And as soon as he was out of the hospital, Pepper had filed for a divorce. He didn’t blame her.
