    Summary

    For the sake of the fic, (or, my excuse to ignore time dilation) it has only been fifteenish years on Earth since Grace left, putting him in his mid fourties and Stratt in her early fifties

    Summary

    She's read about this, she reminds herself.

    This'll be a meltdown - cognitive overwhelm, an involuntary loss of control. A brain overloaded beyond its ability to cope, a body held hostage by emotional and sensory input.


    "Please leave me alone," he says, the heels of his palms still pressed into his eyes. "Please."

    Eva looks around at the cold, empty corridor, and back to him.

    "I don't really want to do that right now."

    Summary

    Simon is newly graduated on the government's dime, recovering mentally and physically from the Navy submarine accident that took his arm and scarred his face, and equal parts excited and nervous for his first year teaching. Somehow, after everything he's done, he gets to be the one kids ask questions and trust to give the right answer. The paycheck and sense of purpose more than make up for how alone he is.

    Ryland Grace has two best friends who love and care for him, the job of his dreams, a boss he loves, and a suspiciously high paycheck for a middle school science teacher. So why is he still so lonely?

    A tour of the building, matching scars, and a fragile comraderie, and suddenly their lives are far more intertwined than either is fully comfortable with.

    Their friends and colleagues are almost as invested in their budding relationship as the nerdy middle schoolers are in shipping their favorite teachers.

    These oblivious idiots might need a little push in the right direction

    Summary

    “Please, call me Mr Williams.” The man- Mr Williams insisted. Peter nodded shakily. Although Peter seemed very timid and suppressed, his brain was ricocheting through multiple scenarios and reasons why, such a hard-working and incredible man like Dr Connor Williams, would want to be present in the same room as him.

    There was a small pause before Mr Morita began speaking again. “Well, Peter, Dr Connor Williams here has an incredible opportunity to offer you.”

    Mr Williams took that as his lead to start an explanation. “Mr Parker, we have been monitoring your grades, projects, science fairs and incredible GPA and we have come to the decision to offer you a chance to become a Stark Industries intern.”

    Or,
    Peter Parker has been offered the opportunity to become the youngest intern at Stark Industries, which causes much jealousy from others. Having been in a similar position when he was younger, Tony Stark decides to take Peter under his wing. However, as Tony's protectiveness over Peter grows more parental, he suspects that Peter was not safe at school, nor the cramped foster home he lived in ruled by a strict man.
