    Summary

    Margaret is five, and mad at her mom for not letting her get a crew cut. She is almost 15, and doesn't know what to do when Colonel Brinks leans in close. She is 19, and can't bear the sight of her father's back as he turns his attention on anyone but her.
    Margaret is 30, and thinks she might kill Frank Burns. She is an eon, has always existed, and can hardly even feel her hands anymore. Pierce tells her they're there, though, and maybe she can trust him.

    All her life, Margaret Houlihan has been good at playing games. When reality hurts, when it scares her, why not just step into a role, make the pain go away? Play a game, please whatever man that happens to be watching.
    But eventually, all games must come to an end.

    Summary

    Tony steeled himself for something. A tearful embrace, maybe a hug that turned into an iron grip around the throat. Instead, Peter dropped his duffel on the couch he had just spent an hour perfecting. A small death inside.
    Right,” Tony muttered, clearing his throat. “So—”
    “When am I going home?”
    Sharp. No warm-up. Kid even left the earbuds in, music leaking loud enough to prove the point: not listening. Then he flopped onto the cushions with an undue hardness.
    Tony swallowed the wince. “Wow. Okay. Straight to the big existential. You only just got here.”
    Peter shrugged, gaze fixed somewhere past him. “Yeah. I know.”


    Tony Stark met Mary Parker at a party. Fourteen years later, there’s a furious teenager on his couch and a past he thought he’d buried at the door. Peter is brilliant, guarded, and far too old for fourteen. Between boardrooms & blown circuits, Tony’s learning the difference between fixing a problem and raising a kid. What he doesn’t see are the late calls, the easy lies, the ghosts in Peter’s orbit that smile too wide and take too much. Money and tech—none of it can patch what’s failing. But Tony’s starting to understand: some things are worth breaking for.

    Summary

    Tony didn't know what it would do to either of them, to play this out like a shadow cast by the real thing, real love and sex and intimacy. But it was what Peter was asking him for, so he did it.

    In the aftermath of a traumatic abduction by a villain, Tony and Peter have to cope with their not-entirely-in-sync coping mechanisms, concerned family and friends, figuring out who exactly really arranged the whole thing, and their evolving feelings for each other.
