Summary
Peter is missing. Ned is in Queens.
He watches the videos. He makes a document. He submits fourteen tips to the FBI tip line and gets the same auto-response every time. He almost texts Happy Hogan six times.
There is nothing useful he can do from this distance. He does everything available to him anyway.
A one-shot from the margins of the kidnapping arc.

Summary
A parallax is the apparent shift in a star's position depending on where you're standing. The star doesn't move. You do.
Peter Parker is sixteen years old and physically healed. He knows what happened. He knows how it worked. He can explain the mechanism.
Knowing it and his nervous system knowing it are different things.
Three parts. One summer. The long way back to Spider-Man.

Summary
"Career day. I'll do it." Tony set the form back on the counter.
"You don't have to," Peter said.
Tony looked at him over the phone. "Do you not want me to?"
"It's fine," Peter said. "You can come."
Tony smiled. Small. Like he was trying not to make it a bigger deal than it was.
"Great," he said. "I'll wear a tie."
"Please don't," Peter said.

Now he faces his Senior year of high school - college applications, a love life, and beginning to act as the official heir of Stark Industries.
And, of course, how to protect Queens from a new, mysterious threat that is recruiting the vigilantes of New York.

Summary
The sequel to something like gravity.
Peter Parker is a senior – second semester, last first day, the last of everything coming fast and then gone. He knows what he is now: Tony Stark's son, Spider-Man, a kid from Queens who shows up on Saturday mornings in Brooklyn because the work is real and he can't not.
But knowing who you are and knowing how to manage that are two different things.
While Peter navigates wrist surgery, a no-swing restriction, a science program in Crown Heights, the slow work of becoming someone's brother, and a city that is starting to pay very close attention – Ross is rising, Toomes is patient, and the distance between Peter Parker and Spider-Man is getting harder to maintain.
Some things that were lost get found. Some things that were found get harder to keep.
The third installment in the What Didn't Go Out series.

Summary
Peter Parker goes to Dr. Strange at 4 a.m. with the math done and his mind made up. Three years of his identity public. Three years of Ross in the White House. Three years of a suppression technology built around his biology at sixteen, now with other enhanced people paying the consequences. The thread runs through him. He knows what that means.
He asks for the ending that will protect the most vulnerable.
Somewhere on the other side of that request, another version of him grows up as a Stark – given everything but the things that he needed most.
He thought not existing would be the easy part.
He is the only person alive who will remember what it cost.
negative space is the final story in the What Didn't Go Out series.
