    Summary

    “You’ve got war in your heart boy,” Howard sneers, “don’t ever try and pretend to be anything but what you are.”

    Tony feels the familiar burn of a flower mark being etched into his skin but he doesn’t look, doesn’t try and check to see what it is. Instead he keeps his eyes on Howard and his hands cupped around his bleeding mouth and nose.

    Summary

    “She’s really gone,” Peter whispers, a single tear sliding down his cheek. Tony brushes it away with his thumb.

    “Yeah, kid,” he agrees quietly. They sit for a moment as Peter breathes through the aching realization that May isn’t coming back. When Peter seems steadier, Tony quietly stands up and holds a hand out to Peter.

    “Come here a second, bud. There’s something I want to show you.”

    or

    In the wake of May's death, Peter is overcome with darkness. Tony shows him how to make it light again.

    Summary

    On paper, Peter is, technically, a legitimate Stark Industries intern now. This whole visiting the tower every second weekend or so and actually getting to work with Tony Stark in his personal lab is a great improvement from being mostly-sort-of-ignored by Happy. And it’s not even all Spider-Man stuff! Which, okay, the Spider-Man stuff is definitely the coolest thing to tell Ned about and definitely the most important because it leads to him saving real, human lives - but this thing where Mr Stark seems willing (happy, even?) to just teach him about completely unrelated tech stuff? It makes it feel like Mr Stark isn’t just interested in spending time with Peter because he’s Spider-Man. Like he’s interested in spending time with Peter because he’s Peter. Which is honestly way more unbelievable and way more amazing than any of this superhero stuff.

    But anyway, none of that is the point. The point is that Peter’s internship is 100% real.

    AKA the standard Midtown goes on a field trip to Stark Industries fic.

    Summary

    There are three well-known facts at Shield High:

    1. The history teacher Mr. Barnes is a stone-cold terror, and it’s not even because he only has one arm.
    2. The other history teacher, Mr. Rogers, is a mysterious enigma, and it’s something to do with the body of a Greek God and contradicting stories of his past. (They’re all rumours, anyway.)
    3. Mr Barnes and Mr Rogers hate each other.

    Bucky wouldn’t have it any other way.
