Summary
The world ended on a Thursday.
Bucky Barnes wasn’t planning on surviving the apocalypse, but then he remembered the six-year-old who lived down the hall. When he pounds on Peter Parker’s door, he finds a teary-eyed little boy clutching a stuffed toy, too young to understand what’s really happening.
Bucky doesn’t know the first thing about kids, but he knows Peter can’t be left alone. So he packs a bag, scoops the boy up, and calls Steve and Sam. Together, they’ll figure out how to keep a child safe in a world that’s already falling apart.
Because sometimes, at the end of everything, the only reason to keep fighting is the small hand holding on to yours.

Summary
When the world collapses into silence and monsters, six-year-old Peter Parker is left alone in his apartment— until his neighbor Bucky Barnes breaks in to save him. The Avengers gather along the way, fight their way through ruined cities, betrayals, and swarms of blue-blooded creatures, all while keeping Peter close and alive.
After reuniting with Yelena and surviving one last tunnel ambush, the group reaches the ruined remains of Manhattan. Stark Tower glows faintly like a promise, but the streets are overrun. Forced underground, the team battles more creatures and nearly loses Peter again before Yelena brings him safely back.
Finally, they reach the tower through its maintenance hatch, discovering it still has emergency power — a miracle of safety in a dying world. Inside, they lock the doors, settle in, and begin to rebuild a life. For the first time since the world ended, Peter falls asleep in Bucky’s arms, surrounded by the family that chose him.
The world outside is broken.
But inside the tower, their found family survives together.Series

Summary
Stark Tower is safe…for now. In the aftermath of the alarms, the team gathers for a quiet memorial to honor (I won’t say who, you’ll have to suffer)who stayed behind so a six-year-old could live. There are no speeches meant for a crowd, no grand gestures, just shared silence, grief, and a small red bottle cap left at the base of an empty helmet. Peter clings tighter to those he has left, and the Avengers learn how to mourn while still moving forward in a world that won’t slow down for them.
