Summary
Tony Stark would never describe his relationship with his father as anything other than difficult. So what would possess him to suddenly agree to become the guardian of some random kid from Queens?
Peter Parker lost his parents when he was barely old enough to remember them, leaving him in the care of Uncle Ben and Aunt May. But when tragedy strikes again during the Stark Expo, it's none other than Iron Man himself, his hero, who comes to rescue him.
As the months and years pass, bringing with them new challenges and threats, both Tony and Peter will be forced to come to grips with their troubled pasts, and learn that their greatest strengths come from each other.

Summary
“Mummy,” Sirius croaks, gray eyes gleaming with unshed tears. Walburga accidentally breaks several bones in Orion's hand. “Mummy, help me, please help.”
The room smells horrid, Walburga absentmindedly notes as she rushes to her son. There’s an unmistakable scent of piss in the air that makes her want to gag. As she gets closer, she has to smother down her rage to keep from exploding.
Shamefaced, Sirius drops his gaze to his desk. “M’sorry, Mummy, I didn’t mean to… but I’m stuck. I can't get out of my chair.”
Walburga bites the inside of her own cheeks to keep from screaming. Not at him, but at what happened to him. Her darling boy, the pride of their house, left to sit in his own waste. The gall of that -
“It’s okay, sweetheart, mummy will help.” The term of endearment feels foreign on her tongue, but Sirius visibly relaxes at it. “Tell me what happened. Where is the tutor we left you with?”

Or the incident that resulted in six-year-old Regulus being able to see the thestrals at his birthday party.

Summary
In another timeline, Regulus Black died young. Eighteen years old, drowned in an underground lake, left to rot among the Inferi. His note addressed “To the Dark Lord” never reached its intended recipient, and the secret he discovered remained unnoticed until over a decade later, when a twelve-year-old killed a basilisk and destroyed a diary infected with the darkest of magic.
This is not that world.
In this one, Regulus Black fought his way out of the lake. He has the locket. He’s on a mission to destroy it. And his work is just beginning.

Summary
"I shouldn't even be alive. For all intents and purposes I should have died that night in the cave but I didn't, and I can't help but think it was for a reason. I know what I have to do, and I know it is the right thing to. I will not betray you, I will not kill you, I will not save you either, I will not give you what you think you deserve. My choice is easier: I will not give up on our family. The rest is entirely up to you."
--

Summary
Sirius had never expected to watch his mother die.
Sure there had been times, when he was locked in his room nursing broken bones and bloodied bruises, that he had fantasized of her dropping dead with a thud on the hardwood floor. Yet to actually see it, her wide eyes staring at him in abject horror, only to close as she shuddered out a squelching gurgle and fell to her knees, was an entirely different game.
Ball park, Moony might have said, but Sirius was trying to focus on the present.
