“It is time for the strongest among us to take our place as the rightful rulers of this world,” Apocalypse says.
“You mean mutants?” Erik asks, finally feeling like he understands where this is going.
Apocalypse nods slightly.
“Sorry,” Erik tells him. “I don’t do that anymore.” Apocalypse tilts his head, mouth pressing into a thin line, and Erik adds, “You know how it is. You have kids and then all your career goals just go to shit.”
Or: the one where Apocalypse tries to use Erik’s family to take over the world.

Summary
Peter has a recurring nightmare about being locked up.
There’s probably some psychological reason for it, and he tries not to dwell on it. He’s busy being chased by the villain of the week, dealing with scrounging up enough money to pay the rent on his shitty apartment, and hanging around outside the donut shop where MJ works, trying not to look like a creep when he checks up on her.
Until he falls asleep, and doesn’t wake up again.
Until he falls asleep, and Tony breaks into the room where he’s locked up to rescue him.
- - -
Or, Peter was kidnapped shortly after Endgame by Quentin Beck, and he’s spent the past year and a half trapped in a series of illusions. Is everything that happened since the Battle Against Thanos real, or just an elaborate storyline Beck played out for his own amusement, with Peter as his personal puppet? Are Tony and May really alive, or is this just a dream?
How is Peter supposed to tell what’s real and what’s fake when everything seems too good to be true?

Summary
The DODC makes good on their threat to charge May with child endangerment, sending Peter into foster care. But in a universe where Tony Stark is still alive, his actions have repercussions as well, and May Parker isn’t the only one fighting to get custody of her child back.
Meanwhile, Peter’s left completely alone and unable to contact any of his loved ones, trying to navigate a system he thought he’d left behind after his aunt and uncle picked him up a few weeks after his parents’ deaths. And he’s absolutely not going to let anything like what happened to him happen to Morgan, no matter what he has to do to make sure she’s safe.

Extraction by niniblack

Summary
Peter Parker has several parental figures: a hippie aunt, a dorky uncle, an absentee father, and a deceased mother. Trying to find out more about his mother got him bitten by a radioactive spider last week, which resulted in superpowers (awesome!) while his dad’s mysterious government job has just gotten him kidnapped and dragged halfway around the world (not awesome!) The last person he’s expecting to be rescued by is Tony Stark, famous mostly for being rich and famous, but at this point he’ll take anyone who’s not pointing a gun in his face.
Tony Stark—genius, billionaire, philanthropist, and SHIELD consultant—would really rather be examining the shiny scepter that the Avengers just recovered and charging an exorbitant fee for offering his expertise on it, but he’s a sucker for missions involving kids and Natasha knows it. It’s just his luck that absolutely nothing is going to plan, and what should have been an easy in-and-out rescue op has turned into a race through Madripoor with a scared, untrained teenager, and half the city out to kill him.
An AU of Extraction, minus the drug cartels and plus the typical Marvel shenanigans.

“He says he’s, uh…” The guard seems to be at a loss.
“You’re my dad!” Peter says, still smiling brightly.
Tony’s whole body flinches.

Summary
The top story on Buzzfeed on February 16, 2017, is “Everything We Know About Peter Parker, Who May or May Not Actually Be Peter Stark.” Turns out Tony Stark might have been hiding the fact that he has a kid all these years. We’re just as shocked as you are, the subheadline reads.
It should be an easy rumor to dispel, seeing as it’s not true. But, it turns out, nothing is ever quite that simple when dealing with a celebrity scandal.
- - -
In which Tony is Very Famous™️ and that bleeds over into fans paying attention to the people around him as well. Which includes Peter, now. And would be fine, if they would all just stop assuming that Tony is his dad.

Summary
Tony doesn’t look at her. He’s staring at the abstract painting over the bed. “This looks like a hotel room.”
“It looks like all the other guest rooms in this apartment,” Pepper says.
“It’s not a guest room anymore,” he says. “It’s Nico’s room.” His expression is grim. “Malibu house is gone. All of his… Everything is gone. So, this is his room now.”
Oh. So that’s why they’re getting drunk.

Summary
“This isn’t what it looks like,” Peter says, voice rather high pitched, as he tries to cover himself with his hands.
“It isn’t?” MJ manages to ask. She bites her lip, before voicing a suspicion that she has been 69% sure of for the past semester but is now creeping up on 95% surety. “Because it kinda looks like you’re Spider-Man, and you like thong underwear.”

“No,” Happy says. He steps towards the turkey, hands raised as though to ward them both off. “You two are not blowing up another turkey.”
Peter turns to him, eyes wide. “But… it’s for science.”
Happy raises a finger at him. “No.”
“Hap–” Tony tries.
“No.”
