    Summary

    “You’ll come to learn that there’s only one thing worse than having nothing.”

    Trying to hold onto his fight, Peter shoots back, “Yeah? And what’s that?”

    “To have nothing, after being able to believe you could have everything.”

    The streets are dirty, crowded, and the jagged bumps in the asphalt are hardly comfortable to sleep on. They’re home, though.

    Peter is just about finished with New York City. It’s gotten impossibly harder to find even a scrap of food, and what little belongings he does have are unlikely to keep him alive through the winter. And the memories. God, the painful memories here.

    So he saves up. Makes a plan to get out of there.

    Then, somehow, he accidentally saves Tony fucking Stark from a gang of eight mercenaries, and the majestic plan disintegrates into ash.

    The worst part about it, he knows, isn’t even that he met Tony. It’s that Tony met him.

    Summary

    Tony gets straight to the point. “What happened?”

    Instead of an answer he gets the sound of Benji wailing down the line—huge, inconsolable sobs that Tony can hear Michelle trying frantically to shush. It launches his panic straight into the goddamn stratosphere.

    “Michelle! MJ, talk to me, what’s going on?”

    “Tony,” Michelle says, voice cracking. “Thank god. It—shh shh, Benji, come here, it’s okay, it’s okay. Tony, it’s Peter.”

    Summary

    It was dark. Peter couldn’t see anything, nor move his limbs; this was feeling a lot more like a kidnapping than an arrest.

    It was only when he heard the sloshing of water against metal that it fully hit him, and the accompanying fear sunk icy claws into his heart.

    He was being taken to the Raft.

    Tony Stark hoped that with the split of the Avengers and half of the team on the run, the Accords would fizzle out. Unfortunately, the opposite happened, and the committee decided to expand the Accords even more to encompass all enhanced vigilantes, no matter their level of involvement (read: Spider-Man).

    One of the proposed laws would involve unmasking and regulating all such individuals, with one exception: a signing member of the Accords could elect to sponsor them, at the risk of their own reputation if things went sideways. So Tony signed for Spider-Man. The kid had solid morals. What could possibly go wrong?

    Answer: Peter gets involved with alien tech, splits open a Staten Island ferry, crashes Tony’s plane into Coney Island, and gets thrown into a max security prison in the middle of the ocean. In that order.

    Tony has to see Steve Rogers' face again much sooner than he anticipated.

    Summary

    “You…” Tony’s eyes narrowed. “Where are you staying, then?” he asked, carefully, like he was afraid of the answer.

    “May is staying in one of the post-snap womens’ shelters down the street from our old apartment,” Peter responded, watching as Tony’s shoulders relaxed incrementally at the mention of May— before tensing up again when Peter didn’t continue.

    “And you?” his mentor prodded, though knowing that the non-answer in and of itself was answer enough.

    “Rooftop on 53rd, when I’m lucky.”

    OR: The Endgame fixit in which I:
    a) make everyone live,
    b) simultaneously traumatize Peter further by making him homeless due to his scroungy resourceful stubborn self-sacrificial self, and
    c) actually deal with the countless ramifications of bringing back half of the entire world’s population in a single instant— as seen through Peter’s eyes as he helps the city as Spider-Man.

    Summary

    Peter often wondered about the atomic bomb.

    More than most teenagers should, probably. Though most teenagers weren’t vigilantes either. In any event, his wonderings had nothing to do with his extracurriculars. It was only tangentially related, in the way he seemed to be able to detonate his entire life in seconds, in an exorbitantly bright and colorful manner.

    The thing was, an atomic bomb didn’t start with the explosion, although everyone always focused on that bit. Humans always did have a fascination with things that killed them, and from a humanitarian perspective, the damage was what was important. But coming from a more chemical perspective, the explosion was almost incidental.

    The real danger was in the preparation, in the way two things that were stable on their own could be forced together under exactly the right — or wrong — conditions. Not inherently volatile, nor doomed from the start, but close enough and aligned until a reaction became inevitable.

    –-

    OR: Peter nearly dies, goes into a coma, wakes up, and then gets himself into a hostage situation, all while Tony is acting strangely distant. It is, objectively, not a good month for him.
