    Summary

    Homecoming AU.

    Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

    So he leaves.

    Simple.

    Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

    And that’s when things get complicated.

    Summary

    Anthony Bridgerton was never supposed to confide in Penelope Featherington. But between the lines of their letters and the spaces between their meetings, something tender takes root.
    As seasons change and scandals rise, they remain each other’s quiet constant—until friendship begins to look an awful lot like love.

    ---

    “You write like a man twice your age,” Penelope scrawled at the bottom of her reply.

    Anthony’s next letter arrived with only one line:
    “That’s rich coming from a woman who hides behind an alias to scold the entire ton.”

    The Anatomy of a Scandal: A Bridgerton’s Guide to Ruin by

    Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn

    Summary

    The Bridgertons have always had a talent for drawing attention, whether through triumph or whispered disgrace, they are a family forever teethering on the edge of scandal. Passion and consequence weave through their lives like an unbreakable thread, drawing the eyes of the ton with every misstep.

    Penelope Featherington, however, has spent years accepting her place on the fringes, her sharp mind dismissed, her presence overlooked. The irony, of course, is that no one knows London’s scandals better than she does. After all, she is the one writing them.

    That is, until Benedict Bridgerton takes notice. And suddenly, she is no longer a mere observer of ruin, but a player in the very game she has chronicled, ensnared in the very thing she has always observed from a distance.

    A flirtation that tempts fate. A dance along the razor's edge. A secret that should never be spoken. A game of chance played in shadowed corners, where a single misstep could mean ruin.

    Because when the writer of scandal entangles herself with a family born to create it, there is only one certainty: sooner or later, the next scandal will be theirs.

    Summary

    “I—” she stared up at him and said in a small voice, “it’s too much to ask of you.”

    “It’s not,” Colin said firmly. “Don’t overthink it,” he urged her.

    Ten minutes ago, she had no home and no chance that she would ever know where her dad was. Colin had just walked into the room and taken control of everything within a matter of minutes, like her own personal white knight.

    “Just let someone take care of you for once.”

    In which Colin slowly, inadvertently, and inevitably becomes Penelope’s sugar daddy.
