    Summary

    There are very few things that manage to capture Tony Stark's attention for more than five minutes at a time, but a month after deciding to unmask Spider-Man, and he's still reasonably obsessed with figuring out his identity. Okay, maybe a tad more than reasonably obsessed, even by his own standards.

    But at least he has a brand new intern to keep him distracted for the time being. Even if the kid doesn't respond to his own name half the time, and dodges every somewhat personal question Tony throws his way, he's kind of growing fond of him.

    Maybe he really is going crazy.

     

    Or: Peter Parker is confident he can keep his three identities separate. It's not like he has billionaire tracking his every move, or anything.

    Summary

    Peter almost deleted the email without even opening it. Anything with Stark in the subject line these days is a scam.

    But then his eyes scanned further, widening by the second.

    Welcome to the Stark Industries Summer Internship Program

     

    OR

    Internship at Stark Industries? Easy. Putting up with ghosts of his foster care past in a group project? Less easy. Meeting the Avengers?

    He doesn't know if his heart can take it.

     

    OR OR

    Peter is a genius, and gets adopted by Tony Stark. Oh, and someone's trying to blow up New York.

    Summary

    “But it hurts,” Optimus half-whines, and Megatron suddenly feels the urge to shake him, kiss him, fix him, because, Primus, Optimus never sounds like this. “I need your help. You’re the only one I want.”

    Megatron finds himself caring for an overly sentimental drunk Optimus Prime. They come to terms with their relationship after Optimus sobers up.

    Summary

    “What happened to marching him through the mines?” Optimus’ ambush never relented, in fact, he trudged stubbornly towards Megatron with a newfound reckoning. “Making him suffer and die in darkness?”

    He let you die in darkness. A cruel voice whispered in his audial. He tossed you aside like scrap metal.

    “Did you hate me more than him when you put a hole through my spark?”

    or...
    (Optimus struggles to maintain Iacon and his feelings for Megatron. Megatron suffers under the guilt of letting his best friend die. The Matrix forces them to confront their problems, one way or another.)

    Summary

    “You’re so pretty!” Optimus repeated, and then he furrowed his brows. He seemed to think about something very, very seriously. Then, hesitating, he asked: ”I - who are you?”

    Megatron stared at him for a klik, but Optimus’ brow remained furrowed, and there was no recognition in his voice.

    Megatron did the only thing he could think of. He slammed the “Request nurse” button and barked, “I need Ratchet! Now!”
