    Summary

    Pethar remembers the sky when it broke.

    He remembers fire, and noise, and the way his world—his home—was there one moment and gone the next. He remembers being put into the shuttle, being told to survive, to live, even if it meant being alone.

    Then Earth.

    Loud, bright, overwhelming Earth, with its strange air and stranger people, and a city that never seems to stop hurting. Gotham isn’t Varos, and humans aren’t anything like his own kind… but they take him in anyway. The Waynes are confusing, stubborn, and far too kind for their own good.

    It’s fine. Everything is fine. He is definitely not slowly becoming attached to a pack of emotionally damaged humans who insist on feeding him and calling him “kid.”

    Definitely not.

    (or: alien spider-child survives planetary extinction, gets adopted by Gotham’s most dysfunctional family, and slowly starts to hate the idea of leaving)

    Summary

    After Peter agrees to let Strange erase his memory from the universe, he never thought he would wake up in a tube of nasty green liquid. Nor did he think it would lead to meeting his dead dad and the rest of his dad's family while figuring out his new mutations.
    The bats are just happy to make fun of Dick for inheriting the adoption gene.

    Summary

    “Oh,” the kid says, head turning to look back at the bathroom. “It’s fine. I’ve got it figured out.”

    Dick’s face pulls to a pinched expression, shaking his head slowly. “As much as I’d love to believe you, I can’t. That stuff can’t just be emptied down the drain.”

    The kid’s own face scrunches this time. “Why not?”

    Jason has a feeling this kid doesn’t remember quite as much of his experience in the pit as Jason did himself. With a sudden jolt, Jason realizes this kid might not know he’s dead.

    Great.

    Summary

    When he finally gets the door open, there's a man standing in the middle of his room. Red Hood. He looks incongruous in Peter’s space, with his sturdy combat boots brushing against a dirty t-shirt that got left on the floor last night.

    “Hey, that was pretty fast,” he says brightly. “I’d love to see how fast you can go when you aren’t taking detours to lose a tail first.”

    OR

    That one where Peter ends up in Gotham after the events of NWH and is determined to stay on his own so that nobody can get hurt, but the Bats refuse to get the memo.

    Summary

    "You're a father."

    In other words, here is my take on Dick Grayson being Peter Parker's parent.

    After the snap, Peter does not get the sweet release of death that he expected. No. Instead, he wakes up in a four-year-old body roaming the streets of New York City with nothing but fragments of memories and the whispers of ghosts to keep him company.

    Dick feels like throwing up. Jason uses humor to cope. Tim is an energy-drinking stalker fiend. Bruce is trying not to overstep boundaries. Damian thinks his entire family is full of idiots.

    Summary will probably change once I get a better idea of how I want this story to go.
