Summary
“You seem to be in a predicament. I can send for one of my men to retrieve you, or I could retrieve you myself, if that is what you would prefer.”
If it's what I’d prefer? Luke thought, hysterically. An uncontrollable laugh bubbled out of his throat.
“What if I fall, huh? What if I fall and die before you get me?!” Luke yelled, his breathing quickening. The bark was beginning to dig into his skin, almost certainly leaving impressions along his arms.
Or: Luke discovers he has a fear of heights, and Dad Vader shows up to pull him out of a tree

Summary
“Why would it be ‘irresponsible,’ hm? I'll fall back asleep eventually, you know.” Luke said as he tried to gather his bearings. He focused on the things that grounded him, such as the dull ache of his head and the sound of his own breathing. The latter was one he quickly abandoned once he recognized the shallow quality it held.
“I'm aware of that,” Vader intoned, “Yet you have proven yourself to be prone to moments of impulsivity in times of distress. As you are far from calm, it would be irresponsible to leave you.”
Or: Luke is suffering from insomnia and can't hide his nightmares from his father

Summary
This was going to be great, Lightning thinks optimistically, giving his girlfriend a big kiss on the lips.
A road trip with his mentor, his… something.
It was definitely going to be one for the books.
If only he knew what would happen, maybe then he would have told Doc to suck it up and take a damn plane instead.
(Or the one where Doc and Lightning road trip to the first race of the new season. Somewhere along the way, Lightning gets sick) (And then Doc gets sickerrr - Lightning has a lot of feelings about it)

Summary
“Kid…remember that documentary we watched on spiders the other day?”
Peter hums in agreement.
“When they, uh, when they’re pretty shaken up-” fearing for their lives, goes unsaid, “-they curl up, remember? They play dead, the death curl,” Tony explains, growing more and more certain as he talks.
“That’s what this is? How do we fix it? You said the threat was gone,” Peter asks, the trust he puts in Tony so apparent in his words.
“Well, I could always carry you back to the quinjet. I’m sure you’ll naturally just decompress on the way back,” Tony shrugs. He’s not entirely assured of his ability to support Peter’s weight at his age but he’ll grit his teeth and give it a go regardless. If not, he has a plethora of enhanced beings to choose from.
“You are not carrying me,” Peter says firmly.
Or: After a nasty shock in battle, Peter finds himself stuck curled up and has to calm himself down in order to regain mobility.

Summary
"Christ, Max, I hope your communication skills improve before Michael is my age. I don't think the latest parenting books really advocate for giving a teenager the silent treatment when there's a learning opportunity at hand. Or is it safe to assume that you wouldn't treat your own kid this way? I understand, you know. A lot of my clients are like that. The politicians? They'd never touch a real kid, especially not their own. It's just not worth the scandal, not when there's always a bought and paid-for whore available, no questions asked."
That was it. That was the tipping point. Max's head snaps up, and he glares at Ash with a vitriol Ash has never seen on him before. He takes a half step closer to Ash, leaning in, and Ash instinctively braces himself for the incoming hands on his body.
"This, Ash! This is my problem!" Max screams. His voice doesn't quite break, but it's got the desperate, unsteady pitch that comes on near a vocal passaggio. "Have I really not made that clear to you by now?"
Max wasn't ready to parent a teenager, not yet. Sometimes he makes mistakes, and sometimes he's even forgiven.
