Summary
He pulls in a deep breath and lets it out. “I dunno, Bee. What do you think I want?”
She regards him under the low light of the waning moon for a long time before she says softly, “I think you want a simple easy life with someone you love with all your heart and who loves you back just as much.”
His heart squeezes in his chest until he can’t breathe. He swallows past the lump in his throat and says, “That’s you and me, honeybee.”
She smiles sadly. “You know what I mean, Harley.”
He looks back to the stars. “I dunno what that’s got to do with mama leavin’ them brochures out for me all the time.”
“It ain’t mama doin’ it.”
He blinks at her, surprised and for some reason hurt. “Why would you do that?”
“You can’t make your whole life revolve around me, Harley.”
“Well, what’s it supposed to revolve around then?”
She looks at him the saddest she’s ever looked. “You, dumbass.”
Oh.
OR: Harley Keener and his sister Abbie have never had an easy life, but they've always had each other and that's enough. They'll make it be enough.

Summary
Peter Parker never considered himself special. Maybe, yeah, having radioactive blood and spider-like abilities makes him different and his vigilante career is out of the norm and fine, yeah, he's on the autism spectrum. Call that "special" if you want. But under all that, he's a regular college student juggling three jobs, an internship, a sad mockery of a social life, and saving the city day and night. The usual stuff.
So when he somehow catches the eye of a casually gorgeous country boy with an accent that could turn even Aunt May's brick-hard mashed potatoes to mush, he's only thrown for a minute before he writes it off as a fluke. What could a guy like that see in a guy like him anyway?
