Peter Parker's life was at a point where he was content. He could manage his dysphoria and was on the way to relieve a whole lot of it. Spider-man had not gotten a major injury in two months. Aunt May and him were in an agreement on Spider-man. He had food, he had a roof above his head and he was doing alright. No one's life was perfect, but the good and the bad things balanced out.

Until they did not.

It all started when May was placed into quarantine. Whooping Cough, she said. A patient had coughed on her during her triage, it was just a precaution. Completely treatable, he knew.
But Aunt May had lied. Or she didn't know.

Always Silent, Peter Darling by LlibLo

After a traumatic experience at age 6, Peter Parker hasn't spoken a word. Most blame it on the fact that he witnessed his Uncle die in a horrible fire, this is only partly true. Now, almost 10 years later Peter is given the chance to finally speak, but will he take it? Or is the fear of his Aunt to much for him to take that chance? Either way, Tony Stark can tell something's not quite right about the "kind hearted" May Parker. (Don't get me wrong I love Aunt May! But I always wondered what if we put a little darkness in the character? That's where this AU was born. Peter's life as Spider-Man wasn't easy before and now with a manipulative and abusive guardian, things only get more complicated but he's still determined to listen to his uncles words: "With great power comes great responsibility) [Book 1 of The Broken Nor Series] [Book 2: Octo Callidus Debitum]

Pain Will Always Come Back to Haunt You by Kevy_Grayce

Peter Parker attempts to juggle being Spider-Man, a high school student, and traumatized all at the age of sixteen. Aunt May does her best to be supportive of her superhero nephew and Ned is always there to be his Guy in the Chair. Sometimes, it's still too much for Peter. When he thinks things can't get even more complicated, a villain inserts themselves into the mix. Tony Stark decides to awkwardly step in and tries to help Peter understand that his own health needs to come before Spider-Man. Peter isn't sure if he agrees.

He knows he's in danger and, this time, he won't be able to save himself on his own. *** warnings and side notes; !

Tick Tock Goes the Clock by Kale_Kabbage

Things have been a little rocky for Peter lately, but he's still standing. He's still doing his best to succeed, going to college and patrolling in his spare time. Sure, it's lonely, what with his family being dead, Ned and MJ in Boston, Mr. Stark off living his life happily with his family, and Happy avoiding him. But whatever, it's all fine. Everything is fine. Or it was until a mysterious new disease pops up and Peter gets some unwanted news. Good 'ol Parker luck, right?
