    Summary

    The Petrova Task Force saved Sol and Earth, but an organization never really goes away. Ryland Grace has a teaching job at a high school in New York two years after getting back to Earth. He misses Rocky, and his health still sucks. There are good reasons he didn't want to go to space.

    Grace learned his lesson, though, when Eva Stratt says, "jump," you ask, "how high?" She will get what she wants one way or another. So when she captures and tries to recruit Spider-Man (who is apparently his fifteen-year-old student) to the task force, he is going to help.

    Now, if Ryland can just ignore his history with Tony Stark, he should be able to get through this in one piece, even if some annoying feelings never went away.

    Summary

    What if Ryland never insulted anyone bad enough to be kicked out of the scientific research team? What if he was actively still a now rather decently famous scientist?

    Now what if Simon was living in the same world as him?

    And what if Jack was a fan of Ryland and took Simon to one of Rylands talks?

    ----

    Aka: Ryland meets Simon at one of his Science talks and falls absolutely in love with him

    Simon first thinks Ryland is pretentious and nothing special, but quickly also learns to love his charm

    Summary

    "- and Mr. Grace really took most of the fall for me and honestly I feel kinda bad because he's already in trouble with Principal Morita for that thing he said to the Brooklyn Visions' coach at the last Academic Decathlon and-"

    Peter's voice whittles down to a high pitched whistle, forgetting that he needs to breathe to continue creating more sound.

    After a few more agonizing seconds during which Peter weighs the possibilities that he just gave his mentor and the savior of the world a heart attack, Mr. Stark looks up at him, eyes suddenly wide.

    A beat passes.

    "What's your teacher's name again?"

    AKA, Ryland Grace and Tony Stark hooked up in college. This is fine, until 20 years later, Peter Parker gets involved. It's all downhill from there.
