    Summary

    The kid—Peter, apparently—clears his throat and rocks back on his heels. “No, no—that’s, um, that's not why I'm here. Look, I know this is gonna sound really crazy, but I just need five minutes of your time.” He holds up all the fingers on his right hand in a visual representation of the words.
    Tony raises his eyebrows at the prefacing remark. “Off to an exceptional start.” This should be interesting. “You know, usually most business proposals begin with something along the lines of—”
    “You're my dad.”

    Summary

    “It’s just a nickname, Mr. Stark. My entire sense of self worth isn’t wrapped up in it.”

    ----

    Pepper Potts' personal assistant got swept up into the dynamics of the Avenger's team. It's easy enough to do that. They're a charismatic group, and it doesn't exactly feel terrible to be part of something that makes a difference in the world. Particularly when you're no one, coming from nothing, and of little relevance otherwise.

    On the other hand, Michelle Sanchez used to be able to sleep at night.

    ----

    A slow grind through the MCU from the perspective of an OC. Outtakes and side quests within. Also, there's a cat, and she's carrying 90% of the story.

    Summary

    Trapped in a Chitauri-infested New York, the Avengers must fight for their lives. With the grid down and no help coming, the city quickly turns into a boiling pot of violence and destruction.

    While a gravely injured Tony battles with the consequences of his free-fall from space, Natasha tries to escape through Manhattan’s underground. In Queens, Peter Parker finds out what it means to lose everything while Kate Bishop watches as aliens lay waste to her home.

    But sometimes the direst situations can lead to the strongest of alliances.

    Summary

    Peter got a Stark phone when he was ten. Adrian took him to a big store with lots of TV screens that all played the same video of Tony Stark declaring to the world that he was Iron Man. They ducked behind the microwaves, both of them giggling as Adrian stuffed the phone under Peter’s sweater.
    They walked right out the door without tripping the alarm, and Adrian bought him ice cream to celebrate.

    After his parents die, Peter is taken in by the Toomes family. Things slowly, then quickly spiral out of control. All Adrian wants is to take revenge on Tony Stark. All Peter wants is to do the right thing. Why is that so much harder than expected?

    Summary

    “You’ll come to learn that there’s only one thing worse than having nothing.”

    Trying to hold onto his fight, Peter shoots back, “Yeah? And what’s that?”

    “To have nothing, after being able to believe you could have everything.”

    The streets are dirty, crowded, and the jagged bumps in the asphalt are hardly comfortable to sleep on. They’re home, though.

    Peter is just about finished with New York City. It’s gotten impossibly harder to find even a scrap of food, and what little belongings he does have are unlikely to keep him alive through the winter. And the memories. God, the painful memories here.

    So he saves up. Makes a plan to get out of there.

    Then, somehow, he accidentally saves Tony fucking Stark from a gang of eight mercenaries, and the majestic plan disintegrates into ash.

    The worst part about it, he knows, isn’t even that he met Tony. It’s that Tony met him.
