    Summary

    You knew, in your heart, that such a craving was unhealthy.

    Dependency was not a good thing. You should not let your heart rest on the uncertain emotions of people around you.

    This.. this infatuation was terribly unhealthy.

    But you could hardly help it. Not when they were so beautiful, when they were so jovial and mysterious and so magical to you.

    ---

    You are the Fool. They are the Jesters. You are the laughingstock and they are the ones who laugh.

    You crave and you crave and you crave. Everything you do, it is to dazzle them, to entrance them, to make them adore you as you adore them and as the crowds adore them.

    But you are a Fool.

    Summary

    Moon understands romance.

    He's been studying the stories, the ones with love and romance and true loves kiss, both from his theatre days and bed time stories alike. There weren't many within the daycare, simply hints within other, grander stories of knights and dragons and triumph over evil. The children under their care were not often old enough to think of romances as anything other than yucky. But not Moon. These days, he finds himself more and more invested, devoting much of his free time to reading and rereading every scrap he could find. He memorizes and compares patterns, gathering as much data as possible.

    He's come to several conclusions, none of which are particularly helpful to his situation.

    Summary

    “That was a disaster. The press is having a field day.”
    “It wasn’t my fault,” Tony defends. “That Spider-Guy never knows when to shut up. He distracted me.”
    “Your reputation took a blow,” Pepper tells him. “Which will be fixed, of course. I’ve already set it up.”
    “Set what up? What, am I going to make flower arrangements with the elderly?”
    Pepper slides a piece of paper towards him. “Try an orphan. His name is Peter Parker. His biggest dream is to meet you. But…” She hesitates.
    “But?”
    “Apparently he doesn’t talk much. Sometimes not at all. Trauma-related.”
    “A smart kid who doesn’t talk? Perfect combination. If only all my employees were like that.”
    ---
    Or: Between Peter Parker barely speaking, and Spider-Man being the ultimate chatterbox, how was Tony ever supposed to figure out that they were one and the same person?

    Summary

    There should have been nothing remarkable about two people in a busy cafeteria, but Becket takes in the familiar sight of curly hair, brown eyes, and a t-shirt with a science pun on it talking animatedly alongside Actual Anthony Edward Stark and promptly drops his lunch.

    He gapes for a solid second, seeing but not believing. It definitely doesn’t look like Mr. Stark is forcing the kid to leave, or firing him, or escorting him to security given the relaxed smiles on both of their faces. If anything, Becket thinks Mr. Stark looks rather proud.

    “So, uh, Mr. Stark definitely knows Roomba-Kid,” Becket says and discreetly tilts his head in the direction of the pair.

    “Oh my god,” Jess says. She almost sounds gleeful. “Oh my god, he’s not just some random kid. He’s Mr. Stark’s kid.”

    or: the interns at Stark Industries have some questions about Peter Parker. The answers aren’t quite what they expect.
