    Summary

    “You’d do something for me if it helped me, right Peter?” May finally asks, her voice dull.

    Peter looks at his aunt, slipping his phone into his hoodie pocket on the floor and forcing himself to smile. “As long as it’s not illegal, yeah.”

    May’s lips curl faintly. They lapse back into silence. Another half hour goes by before they stop for dinner. May looks at him over her fries. “Do you think you could live somewhere other than the city?”

    Peter frowns. “I don’t know.” He thinks of the lake house tucked back in the woods. “I think that maybe I could. It would be weird at first but I don’t think it would be bad. Didn’t you grow up a couple hours from the city?”

    May nods. “Yeah, I grew up closer to Buffalo. We lived in the middle of nowhere. I met your Uncle Ben in college and followed him to the city.” She doesn’t meet his eyes. “I think you’d like living outside the city.”

    She doesn’t speak for the rest of the meal.

    Summary

    rival (n.) from Latin rivalis — one who shares a river. Originally: a neighbour at the waterline, drawing from the same source. Not an enemy. Someone who knows exactly how much you need, because they need the same thing.

    Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen have been sharing a river for fifteen years. A journalist finally writes it down. He brings a translator to help. Mariana Cavalcanti speaks French, Dutch, and Portuguese, and knows the difference between what a person says and what they mean. She makes three small decisions that are not small at all.

    Two weeks later, the piece runs. Then the phone calls start.

    Or: in which a translation goes perfectly, which is the problem.

    Summary

    Tony is many things to Peter- childhood hero, superhero mentor, unacknowledged father-figure, somehow turned family friend. The trouble is that none of these titles have much weight in the Real World.

    Tony can do a whole lot to protect Peter when he's in the Spider-Man suit, not so much when he gets accused of cheating at school when May is stuck at work and asks Tony to step in.
