Peter Parker's a Little. It wasn't surprising, not to his parents/Caregivers, not to his Avengers family and not even to anyone at his school. He's fine with it, he enjoys allowing others to care for him, to make sure he's happy and safe and had settled into his routine rather nicely. During a day when he feels like he *has* to go to school, Peter fights hard against his Little regression, knowing that a slip-up will ruin the only chance that, he feels, he has at doing well on a very important test. Too bad his instincts can't be held back, not when he hurts himself and when all he wants is Tony.

Harley stared at the contact on his phone, finger hovering above the call button. It had been five years since he'd seen him, but he didn't have anywhere else to go. He took a shaky breath and pressed call, raising the phone to his ear. "Hello?" came the familiar voice. Harley smiled weakly. "Hey, old man." -------------------------------- Harley was devastated when he heard his mother and sister had died in a plane crash. The bank saw the opportunity, and seized the home, leaving Harley on the streets and running from CPS. He kept the number for emergency purposes. Being an orphan and homeless counts as an emergency, right?

Tony Stark is convinced by his family friend Obadiah Stane to adopt a kid in order to improve the tarnished image of Stark Industries. The media always loves a soft, single dad, so it's perfect to get the PR they need. Pepper is enraged. Rhodey is disappointed. Happy is confused. All of this, Tony expected. What he doesn't expect is to bring home a kind-hearted, intelligent, four-year-old kid named Peter who slowly gets him to come out of his egocentric shell.

"Hey, slow down." Tony faces him, his mask lifting to make eye contact as he plants his hands on the kid's shoulders to ground him. "We'll take it one step at a time." With the reassurance, Peter's able to manage a slight smile. Then the floor swallows him whole. Before either of them can blink, he's being sucked into the ground, out of Tony's desperate grasp. "Peter!" Their eyes stay locked for that split second when the darkness closes around him, all light being shut out as he suddenly plummets. - Peter gets separated from Tony and Stephen, and the villain gets ahold of him first.

All Peter and Tony had to do was cross the mountains. That's it. Just climb a few hills and get to the annual Stark Convention. Tony wanted to try something different, a father-son trip as opposed to just taking the boring old private jet. Maybe stop at a cabin on the way back, taking a little family vacation. They didn't count on the snow, or the wind, or the fact that neither of them have cell service. And they definitely didn't count on the fact that they would be hunted-stalked-as they sit, freezing and shaking, on the side of the road.

When a young Peter Parker looses his family farm to the excessive taxation by the British, he doesn't have a lot of people to turn to for help. With May busy trying to handle the burden of the hole left behind by the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter takes it upon himself to get them the money they need to get their home back. By enlisting himself into the Continental Army. There, Peter meets cocky General Anthony "Iron Man" Stark, a man hanging by his last string of hope. A man, who by all titles, should not be as protective of this boy who has wondered into his camp; should not let the kid's innocent eyes and striking genius begin to thaw the ice around his heart. But he does and Tony honestly isn't sure what to think anymore. Together, they begin to forge the path to freedom for both themselves and the nation as a whole.

An Iron Man-themed Spirt Day at school sounds amazing to Peter in practice. Getting to spend the day talking about his hero? His father-figure? Nothing could beat that. When that day actually arrives, however, it brings with it some memories that the spidering would like, above anything, to forget.

Peter Parker is at the end of his rope. He's beginning to crumble under the weight of a not-so-great home life, a traumatic past, and the responsibility of being Queen's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Anthony Edward Stark has been struggling to move on from the tragic loss of his son, using caffeine, work, and his friends as a distraction from his grief. What happens when the universe brings these two hurting souls together and secrets are brought to light? Will they continue to self-destruct? Or will they help each other out of their misery and begin to heal? DISCLAIMER: I never read the comics, so I am basing this purely on the cinematic universe (except for maybe some character things).

Post-Endgame. Peter and Tony's life and adventures after Peter brings Tony back. Tony-Stark-Lives-Fix-it Timeline Collection of stories focussed on Irondad, his Spiderkid and the Stark family. I've been writing on my main Irondad/Spiderson fanfic for almost 2 years now and have found myself a little stuck in a rut recently. Using this to get some mojo back.

Tony Stark had lost his son when he was only 2 years old, stolen away in broad daylight. Years later, his path crosses with that of a particular vigilante. They are strangers to each other, or so they think. Tony has just made it through the disaster with Ultron. He is trying to keep himself and the team together but relationships are strained and tempers are running high. Peter Parker is on top of the world. After a few shitty years, losing his parents and then losing his Uncle, things are finally looking up. Sure he lives in a crappy little apartment with his Aunt but he might have just found his mission in life. ------ This is an AU story obvious by some of the tags. I'm starting out a few weeks after Age of Ultron took place. Civil War will be a thing. Other than that I'm not too concerned about sticking to every canon detail and storyline.
