Summary
------
He can imagine it. Being introduced with a new name and new skin. Is that what’s missing? He doesn’t have a heart because he’s not himself. How can it beat for someone who doesn’t exist?
------Please read the tags!
A trans Regulus fic heavily inspired by I Saw The TV Glow as well as my own experience when I was trans (yes, was... it was a very intense time so of course I put Regulus through it...), and yes, I gave him a deadname, it was easier than using she/her pronouns and less confusing. It is entirely to portray him figuring himself out in the decade this story takes place in, and to have a clear distinction between him and other female characters, and not done with mean intent.

Summary
In which Vance is an out of place person, like usual. He gets held back twice, and when he decides to tell bruce he likes him at the beginning of his eleventh grade year, things get a little off track.
Fair warning, the ending is abrupt with a few not-mentioned-things-that-were-supposed-to-be-mentioned... maybe one day I'll find the motivation to finish it :,)

Summary
“Alright, what gives?” Sam demands. “Why do you turn down every single person I try to set you up with?”
He expects Bucky to avoid the question, come up with all sorts of excuses. What he doesn’t expect is for Bucky to start laughing.
“C’mon, Sam. Seriously?”
“Yes, seriously.”
“Sam,” Bucky finally says, slow and deliberate. “I’m not interested in anyone you’ve tried to set me up with because I’ve been gone on you for ages.”

Summary
“Hey, Tony Stank” Rhodey starts speaking as soon as he opens the door, “is this the new in-“.
Rhodey freezes mid-step and mid-sentence when Tony and the intern both look up at his entrance, and he gets his first look at the intern.The intern who’s a kid.
A kid who looks an awful lot like Tony did back when he first met him at MIT.
It may have been 30 years, give or take, since he met his best friend, but he’d never forget the first time that he met the skinny little kid with a head full of curls, that had a busted lip because he had mouthed off to one of the much older students.
He’d never forget that little face.
The face that he was suddenly seeing all over again…sitting next to his best friend.

Don't Give Up On Me (Please) by Peters12and3bros

Summary
Since the death of his aunt and uncle a year ago, Peter Parker has bounced around foster homes faster than a pinball at full speed. Why? He blames Spiderman. His constant secret keeping, lying, and sneaking out because of his alter ego has kept him from staying in a home for too long, but he refuses to give up the vigilanteism (that's a word, right?) At this point, he's given up hope on ever finding a forever home.
Tony Stark never expected to get so attached to his young new intern, Peter Parker. But when he finds out that the kid is moving foster homes too far away for him to keep up the internship, he takes matters into his own hands. He soon finds out, though, that housing Peter Parker is a lot harder than mentoring him.
(eventual adoption, because how else would this end?)
ALSO--this story has officially been nominated for the Irondad Creator Awards 2022! If you enjoyed this fic, please consider voting for it on their tumblr blog! (and to whoever nominated it--I love you forever and think you're awesome, thank you 3000)

Summary
“I’m sure you know him from somewhere, Tony.” She’s leaning against the kitchen counter, studying the frame intensely, like the answer to Tony’s mild breakdown was hidden within in.
“Clearly not!” He flails for emphasis, frustrated. He’s supposed to be a genius, so why can’t he figure this out? “This is a prank, right?”
She scowls at him, face hardening with her lack of amusement. “Don’t be an idiot.” Pepper straightens, clearly wanting no more than to be done with this whole conversation. “Maybe it was one of those college interns.”
He shakes his head fiercely. “No. This must be- shit, what are those called? Something effect... the effect of something...”
A Mandela Effect, as his research would later reveal.

Summary
Cape Cod is not Queens.
Queens is Mr. Delmar’s shop, good pizza, waking up to the garbage truck rolling down the street, the smell of May’s latest disgusting meatloaf concoction wafting through the apartment hallways before Peter even steps through the door. Queens is home.
Cape Cod smells like saltwater and sounds like screaming children. There’s no good pizza, or garbage trucks with perpetually angry drivers; it’s just endless sand and sky and water. Cape Cod is the furthest thing from home that Peter could ever imagine.
-
Or: The Way Way Back AU where Peter is reluctantly dragged by May and her new asshole boyfriend, Quentin, to spend the summer in Cape Cod. Summer gets a whole lot more interesting when Peter makes friends with the eccentric manager of Water Wizz, who seems to take a liking to Peter in all his teenage-awkwardness glory.
