    Summary

    Peter has a recurring nightmare about being locked up.

    There’s probably some psychological reason for it, and he tries not to dwell on it. He’s busy being chased by the villain of the week, dealing with scrounging up enough money to pay the rent on his shitty apartment, and hanging around outside the donut shop where MJ works, trying not to look like a creep when he checks up on her.

    Until he falls asleep, and doesn’t wake up again.

    Until he falls asleep, and Tony breaks into the room where he’s locked up to rescue him.

    - - -

    Or, Peter was kidnapped shortly after Endgame by Quentin Beck, and he’s spent the past year and a half trapped in a series of illusions. Is everything that happened since the Battle Against Thanos real, or just an elaborate storyline Beck played out for his own amusement, with Peter as his personal puppet? Are Tony and May really alive, or is this just a dream?

    How is Peter supposed to tell what’s real and what’s fake when everything seems too good to be true?

    Summary

    If anyone else had walked into the train compartment and taken a perfunctory look, they likely would’ve assumed that Sirius Black was sleeping. He was face down on the grimy bench, lips slightly parted, yielding to shallow but loud breaths, his hair splayed wildly across his back, clothed in layers of undershirts and robes despite the early September heat.

    But James Potter was not anyone else, and he understood that Sirius was not asleep. Sirius was in pain.

    OR

    The boys take care of Sirius on the Hogwarts Express after a rough summer.

    Summary

    Regulus swallows heavily, then lets the words crawl back up his throat and lets his lips part slightly to release them. They catch the air like butterflies and beat their wings rapidly in the vast azure.

    “I had to drag you,” Regulus whispers.

    OR

    Sirius’ abuse traumatized Regulus too.
