    Summary

    Ned shrugs. "But be prepared, man. You can't save everyone."

    At the exact same time, MJ and Peter say - "But you have to try."

    And both of them freeze.

    Peter gives her a look out of the corner of his eye, soft and searching. His mouth quirks up into a half-smile.

    Which is rude. She's still trying not to think about him. She's been trying not to think about the way he had cradled her face earlier when he saved her from the wreckage in Manhattan; like she was something precious.

    .

    (In the year after she finds out he's been wiped from her memory, MJ tries and fails to not fall for Peter Parker again.)

    SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY SPOILERS: DO NOT READ BEFORE WATCHING!!!

     “I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life knowing I’d never get the chance to tell you how much you meant to me.”

    Four years after Doctor Strange’s spell erased Peter Parker from the world, twenty-two-year-old Peter has gotten used to being alone. After MJ and Ned's housewarming party, Peter leaves heartbroken, only to fall through a portal, be transported through time, and land straight in the living room of the man he watched die.

    For Tony Stark, it has been four years since Peter disappeared in the Snap. Now Peter has a chance to prevent the future that destroyed everything he loved, bring back everyone lost to Thanos, and save Tony before it’s too late.

    Summary

    Homecoming AU.

    Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.

    So he leaves.

    Simple.

    Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.

    And that’s when things get complicated.

    A story about grief, depression, recovery, and choosing to stay.

    Summary

    “You’re putting too much pressure on it,” MJ tells him, when Ned confides in her how he’s feeling, two months into it. "He’s messed up. Like, super messed up. It’s not gonna just—fix itself, overnight.”

    “And whose fault is that?” Ned asks, reaching up to the ceiling in exasperation from where he’s laying on the carpet, staring upwards. “Whose fault is it that he was playing—the hermit version of masked crusader, on hard mode for half of a decade, without us?”

    "Not yours," MJ says simply.

    --

    OR: Ned remembers. That’s the easy part.
