    Summary

    “You’ll come to learn that there’s only one thing worse than having nothing.”

    Trying to hold onto his fight, Peter shoots back, “Yeah? And what’s that?”

    “To have nothing, after being able to believe you could have everything.”

    The streets are dirty, crowded, and the jagged bumps in the asphalt are hardly comfortable to sleep on. They’re home, though.

    Peter is just about finished with New York City. It’s gotten impossibly harder to find even a scrap of food, and what little belongings he does have are unlikely to keep him alive through the winter. And the memories. God, the painful memories here.

    So he saves up. Makes a plan to get out of there.

    Then, somehow, he accidentally saves Tony fucking Stark from a gang of eight mercenaries, and the majestic plan disintegrates into ash.

    The worst part about it, he knows, isn’t even that he met Tony. It’s that Tony met him.

    Summary

    Tony Stark had lost his son when he was only 2 years old, stolen away in broad daylight with nobody the wiser of what exactly happened. Years later, Tony has just made it through the disaster with Ultron. He is trying to keep himself and the team together but relationships are strained and tempers are running high.
    Then a random turn of events leads to his path crossing with that of a particular vigilante. They are strangers to each other, or so they think.

    Peter Parker is on top of the world. After a few shitty years, losing his parents and then losing his Uncle, things are finally looking up. Sure he lives in a crappy little apartment with his Aunt but he might have just found his mission in life.

    ------

    This is an AU story obvious by some of the tags. I'm starting out a few weeks after Age of Ultron took place. Civil War will be a thing.

    Summary

    When Peter saw a spelling mistake on the Stark Industries website, he decided that he had to fix it, no matter what the consequences could be.

    When Tony saw that the hacker that managed to evade him was a reckless, too-skinny foster kid, he decided that he was going to offer him an internship.

    No ulterior motives.

    Not at all.

    Summary

    Summary

    “Listen,” Pepper says. “I’m at the food bank right now and Ms. Zavala from R&D called in sick. She has two students coming in this morning to be interviewed for the internship, 9 AM. I won’t be back in time, so if you could just talk to them, or at least start with the first one, until I get back.”
    Tony processes all that a moment.
    “Tony?” she asks.
    “You’re at the food bank? How much do I pay you?”
    She gives another little huff. “Charity, Tony. Did any of the actually important things I just said register in your brain?”
    “Oh, all right. Consider it my charity work for today.”
    -
    Pepper should have known it was a mistake, setting Tony’s dumb ass on these kids.
