Summary
Tony looks at the webbing appraisingly once more and makes an extremely impulsive decision, one that could change the course of both their lives.
“Would you like a job here, Penny?”
Instead of jumping in joy or thanking him profusely like most people do when he offers them a job, Penny just looks confused.
“I already work here,” she says.
Tony stares at her blankly.
Or, in which Tony gets an intern, Natasha gets a hobby, and Penny gets a new family (a real one this time.)

Summary
“Henderson was right about you, you really are just a teddy bear,” Eddie pokes him in the face.
“No, I’m not. I could kick your ass, man,” Steve shoves his shoulder, trying not to smile.
“I just brought you free weed and you’re gonna kick my ass? Rude.”
Steve starts to respond Robin interrupts from where she’s perched on the kitchen counter, trying to light the blunt with a candle lighter.
“Guys. Please stop flirting until I’m high enough not to notice it,” she jokes, finally getting the blunt to light and taking a hit.
-
or: the one where Steve can't stop noticing Eddie and he just can't figure out why.

Summary
When Ansari said, “Your father is Tony Stark,” Tony prepared himself for his son’s disappointment and anger but all he saw on Peter’s face was confusion.
He opened and closed his mouth several times, inhaling through his nose then slowly releasing the breath through his mouth. His eyebrows were furrowed and his nose was scrunched in a facial expression that read “okay, what the fuck.”
“Okay, what the fuck,” Peter said.
aka my take on biodad au where peter is kidnapped as a child and they're reunited years later by chance. featuring peter breaking out of a police interrogation room to get iced coffee, tony stark's childhood trauma, and a healthy dose of found family

Summary
Peter never made any plans to run away, until the day he leaves. It isn’t an idea that slowly creeps up on him. He just stands over the sink one day in early spring, watching his father’s bright red ashtray bob up through the soap bubbles, and feels an overwhelming urge to get the hell out of this place.
Two years later. Tony Stark has been keeping his identity as Iron Man a secret, successfully hiding behind his spoiled, rich asshole persona. It’s isolating, but he doesn’t even like people anyway, so it’s fine, he’s fine, he’s great. And then he gets saddled with a new intern, who isn’t just hiding secrets: he’s barely holding it together.- Language:

Summary
“This young man claims to have been invited by you personally.”
Tony has learned to read Happy’s expressions. That one is disapproval, and it’s highly familiar. “Peter is helping me out in the workshop today.”
“Why?”
“Uh.” Tony has enough presence of mind not to carelessly throw Peter’s alternative identity around. “He won a competition.”
Happy’s expression flickers, grows tense. “I did not approve any competition that included a trip to Avengers Tower.”
“Okay. Well. If we had theoretically organized a competition, he would definitely have won it.”
-
Tony’s life lately has been a perfect storm of incompetence. But perhaps he can get some solid spiritual advice from a mischievous teenager with a secret identity he meets by the side of the road one evening, like a lucky little leprechaun. If only Happy would stop being so paranoid about Tony inviting a random kid into Avengers Tower, sheesh.- Language:

Summary
MJ still remembers Ned’s initial disbelief when Peter—infamous for missing class back in sophomore year, suspended for two weeks freshman year—finished his bit of the group write-up four days early. The work was perfect, and so was Ned's chemistry grade. After that it was Peter this, Peter that, Peter parted the Red Sea, it’s true, MJ, I was there; I saw it. MJ, hey, are you listening?
Then Ned says, “We should invite Peter to join AcaDec.”
or;
peter isn’t rock bottom on midtown’s social ladder; he’s underground. friendless, rumoured to get into street fights. ned declares him bestie material anyway, and mj catches feelings.
she also meets tony stark(?) in foodtown, of all places, and makes a spider-man(??) sighting.

Summary
“So here’s the deal,” Tony says. “Here’s what’s rumbling in the back of my mind. That bookstore we just came from, I knew the previous owner. Her name was Mary. I got her knocked up, and then waved all my parental rights while the bun was still firmly in the oven. Didn’t even take a peek in the oven. Never saw her again, never saw the kid. Don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.”
“Say all that again,” Harley says, “but slowly, and using way more words.”

Summary
Much like the other day, Ellie ends up sitting on the porch steps. Joel’s back even quicker this time. Almost like he’d left his first aid supplies sitting out and ready to attend as needed.
More cleaning, this one hurts less. More gel liquid, this time rubbed in a bit better. And more bandaids, these ones something other than plain, boring beige. Not princesses either, usually the first thing adults reached for when they mixed the two factors of Little Girl and Injured together.
Nope. This guy has dinosaur bandaids.
“Dude, I fucking love dinos!”
Joel’s head swivels up, eyes going from her carefully patched up elbow to meet Ellie’s gaze. She wants to ask him how he knew. She wants to ask to see the rest of the designs in the box. She wants to tell him all of the other things she loves.
“S’pose I picked right then,” he says, almost like he’d been standing in the aisle, contemplating what exactly that might be.
“You did,” is how Ellie answers him, not bothering with a thank you.
//
or: Ellie is Joel's next door neighbor who's hellbent on learning to ride a bike to get where she needs to go. Little does she know that place is right across the street.
