Exploding Head Syndrome (ao3) - foolscapper pepper/tony, gamora/peter, mj/peter T, 81k

Summary: Tony's having a hard time remembering how he crossed the distance from the grassy knoll to Peter, and he can't really recollect how his hands ended up on either side of the kid's face. Before he knows it, he's gripping the kid's shoulders just as tightly as Rhodey had gripped his own, his hands trembling. "Pete, kid, c'mon. Say something. If you don't say something I'm gonna seriously lose it here. Don't fucking do this."

A pair of headphones rattle around Pete's neck. Tony's shaking him.

Maybe he'll come to, like a half-drowned puppy you pull out of the gutter.

Then just as suddenly he's not shaking him, because Quill is prying his hands back from the kid protectively, and Strange's palm is pushing Tony's shoulder to put some distance between him and the boy. Everyone knows Peter is a special case, for him. A special mission set aside to complete. He promised May. He promised Peter. He held him while he disintegrated. He washed him down a sink and apologized in multitudes. Someone seethes, "What do you mean, he didn't come back? What do you mean?" and he recognizes it belatedly as his own voice.

*******

Everyone comes back, when the snap is undone. Or, well — almost everyone.

Summary: Peter Parker had never been properly kidnapped before. Sure he'd been captured for brief amounts of time as Spiderman, but as Peter Parker, son of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, it had never happened. Until now, that is.

(it) came in like a wrecking ball. (ao3) - starbucks22 T, 8k

Summary: Peter Parker’s Spidey senses, for lack of better title, have been going off all day and he cannot, for the life of him, find out why. Despite that, he’s been having a pretty good day. Parker luck is on his side for once.

Then Aunt May seems to go missing, everyone is lowkey freaking out, his senses are going insane, everyone gets hurt, and cars are crashing.

...Maybe Parker luck is not on his side after all.

It's Just A Scratch! (ao3) - slowly-losing-my-mind (ironthesun) T, 3k

Summary: When Peter is stabbed whilst out on patrol, he swings himself to the Tower to fix himself up. Tony is busy at an important meeting, so he doesn't want to interrupt the man with something silly like this. And the rest of the Avengers are away on a mission, so it's not like they can really help. Peter knows where the first aid kit is. He can sort himself out. Right?

Protecting Peter (ao3) - Bullwinkle12 steve/tony N/R, 27k

Then resulted in physical abuse. May started to drink and use drugs. To top it all off Peter is constantly being pushed around by Flash and his goons.

Show Me Where the Sun Comes Through the Sky (ao3) - duskblue G, 75k

He doesn't want to go on a vacation to Mr Stark's lake house to see Pepper and Morgan, but May doesn't leave it up to him, and on the last day of school, Happy is waiting to drive him there. What--or who--awaits him at the lake house, is not what he's expecting.

But why is everything so secretive?

sons and daughters of hungry ghosts (ao3) - blondsak, seekrest T, 3k

Summary: “You look awful,” Natasha says in lieu of a greeting, Peter rolling his eyes underneath the mask as he rubs his hands against his arms.

“Yeah well, I’ve had better nights. What’s up?”

Natasha shrugs. “It won't take long.”

“You mind telling me what it is?” Peter asks as he hops back and forth again.

Natasha turns away from him and down the alleyway, Peter following closely behind as she says, “Need your help with something, like I said. And I knew I could count on you.”

The Littlest Stark (ao3) - samandbucky rhodey/tony N/R, 3k

Summary: Tony never had the intentions of ever becoming a parent, not with how busy he is with Stark Industries and the Avengers, and then Peter Parker comes into his life and changes his whole world. Tony never thought he'd fall in love with a child so fast, and now here he is. But, Tony wouldn't change it for the world.

The Avengers find out that Tony suddenly have a kid in his life, and they all quickly fall in love with the little boy too.

the rumours about peter parker (ao3) - tempestaurora pepper/tony G, 7k

Summary: “No way,” Flash said, when he heard. “Stark Industries doesn’t even hire high schoolers.”

Peter shrugged, schooling his face to remain unbothered. “Yet here I am.”

So the rumour spread that Peter Parker, top of the class and the only competent member of the track team, had a Stark Industries internship. That made it more difficult when Miss Adler, the Chemistry teacher, announced their field trip there.

Things I Almost Remember (ao3) - IcedAquarius mj/peter, pepper/tony T, 112k

Through The Lens (ao3) - captain__smash peter/wade, steve/tony, clint/natasha, sam/bucky M, 61k

Summary: Peter was having a strange streak of good luck. He moved to a new school and he didn't get punched on the first day. His new town was warm and sunny and the new house was perfect. He had finally made some friends and even had good teachers. Aunt May loved her new job. Things were going almost too well.

Luckily, Wade Wilson is more than happy to step in and ruin all of it with four stupid words.

"You're in my seat."

When I Am On Your Shoulders (ao3) - Lady_Blackwater steve/bucky, peter/johnny storm M, 165k

Summary: Peter didn't want to think that this year was the worst of his life given he's only sixteen— things could be much worse than his fathers getting a divorce. He can (kinda) deal with the two most important men in his life splitting up, but he hadn't counted on living with his dad Steve, and his new boyfriend for the summer.

With a Child's Heart (ao3) - Scarlet_Ribbons mild steve/tony T, 5k

Summary: “Oh, god.” Steve whispers, sounding as horrified as Tony feels. “You’re so young. Tony, he’s so young.”
