    Summary

    Fun fact about Peter Grayson-Wayne: that wasn't always his name.

    Ever since he was a kid, he's had nightmares he couldn't explain: falling, a city on fire, a woman's hand going cold in his, a promise made over a body of a man he couldn't save. Grief so heavy he could never explain, so ingrained in his heart long before he understood why it was there. He's seventeen before he finds out why. A whole other life, waiting years to be remembered and it's about to cost this family every secret the've ever kept from him.

    Or: Twelve years ago, Bruce Wayne carried a five-year-old out of a circus tent and promised him he was safe now. Some ghost don't haunt houses. Some of them just grow up in one, quietly, neglected in plain sight, until they remember exactly who they used to be and every secret the family has tried to bury starts climbing back out with him. Gotham's about to get a hero it never saw coming and the family that spent years deciding what Peter was strong enough to know will find out how much stronger he already was.

    Summary

    When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

    Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

    Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

    Summary

    Tony Stark saves the world. He dies minutes later. Peter comes back from the battle to a world that’s changed three times over: first with the Snap and his death, the next with the Reverse Snap that ends the Blip, and one more change, courtesy of an accidental thought during the Reverse Snap: the unification of two separate universes into one. This last results in a physically larger planet, and several new cities, fully formed and inhabited, popping into existence around the world. Gotham City. Metropolis, Keystone City. A few others.

    Peter takes this news the only way he can: he accepts it and moves on. So he does. Peter is still reeling from the war against Thanos, but he keeps pushing forward. The realities of this new world find him later, when he visits Metropolis with J. Jonah Jameson for a conference.

    Summary

    After a moment, Strange finishes his spell, letting out a sigh as he drops his magic. The arc reactor in his hand shimmers with power, both magical and regular, the steady white-blue now accented by shivering, red-orange symbols that gently orbit the metal casing.

    “Fancy,” Tony says, reaching out to take it.

    Strange pulls his hand back instead and says, “Forgive me, Tony.”

    Tony can’t move. He freezes in place, hand twitching above the changed arc reactor. Confusion, followed by shock, followed very quickly by fear driven anger as Tony snap his eyes back to Strange.

    Strange meets his gaze and says, “When you find him, ask Tim for help.”
