no. 4 - a short and sweet Hornblower fic called I Will Not Sleep by speakmefair

no. 5 - another Hornblower fic (they're all so poetically written ??) called No Quarter Given by Paraxdisepink

no. 6 - a s3 au of the walking dead (part 3 of a series) called If You Love Something by CrossBowDontMiss

no. 7 - a beautiful klance fic called never saw you coming by dimpleforyourthoughts (one of my faves!)

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: 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.

Author: Uncertainty_Principle

Note from submitter: Mind the tags. Peter does suffer abuse while in the foster care system before meeting Tony.

Earning The Okay - Chapter 1 - Alia_JuneBug - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

Peter Parker is absolutely fine. Never mind the fact that he's Spider-Man and dealing with an abusive uncle. Enter Tony Stark, The Avengers, an internship opportunity, and a homeless guy named Walt. Now we watch Peter try to keep everything a secret. Because that always turns out well.

Identity Theft - Chapter 1 - KitCat992 - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

It's been months since the events of Civil War, and the Avengers are doing their best to remain a team, having promised to forgive and forget. Unfortunately for them, Tony Stark's latest invention has been stolen and recovering it causes tension to reappear.

Meanwhile, in Queens, Peter Parker has two main priorities on his plate — complete his midterm finals, and track down a fishbowl wearing criminal that may or may not lead him right into the hands of the Avengers.

Somehow between all of this, Spider-Man's identity is revealed to the Avengers, Steve and Tony's friendship may permanently be damaged due to continued hidden secrets, and Happy struggles to buy a youth-sized casket for Peter's funeral.

Things were a lot easier when they were fighting over Bucky Barnes.

(Or: The Avengers welcome Peter into their crazy superhero family and will do anything to protect him.)

Shameless Peter whump and Protective Tony Stark.

A Peter Parker Problem - Chapter 1 - spagbol99 - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

Peter Parker was back from the dead. At least that is what everybody told him. He'd been snapped out of existence until some sort of time travel and an active death wish by his mentor had saved him and the universe. Just your average sort of life for a 16 year old from Queens.

Peter comes back to find May has a husband and a kid. A new family he has to fit into. But he has done it before, he can do it again.

The only thing that feels solid is Tony: the Blip and fatherhood have mellowed him and Peter loves the bond they have now. He knows Tony would be there for him through anything. But Tony needs to focus on his own recovery - not small time Peter Parker problems. When things at home take a turn for the worse, Peter decides that he'll handle it himself. He is Spider-man. He's been to space and fought aliens. He can get through anything. After all, if May is happy, he is happy, right? Right?

Family Don’t End With Blood - Squibbles94 - Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]

“I had Pepper and my retirement. We had Morgan and I had a chance not to screw things up anymore. I had everything I wanted. Except you. You deserved better than being stuck inside a rock because I was too afraid to lose what I had. That’s why I did what I did. You.”

In which Peter comes back from the soul stone to find everything changed.

Peter whump? Check. Tony adopting Peter? Check (Sorry May). Kidnapping? Check. Torture? Check. Tooth rotting fluff? Check. Self preservation? Missing.

Keep Bending; Don't Break - Chapter 1 - dreadmyquill - Spider-Man - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Peter Parker has been kidnapped by HYDRA and doesn't know what to expect, especially after he is joined by super soldiers Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. Peter hasn't encountered the rogue Avengers since the events of Civil War, and Tony Stark is still the only Avenger who knows Spider Man's secret identity. The three kidnapped heroes are quickly forced to learn to trust one another as a group of calculating HYDRA scientists begin a series of frightening and painful experiments on each of them. How long can they hold on in captivity? Will they be able to fight their way out? Will the other Avengers rescue them before the experiments have shattered them both mentally and physically? Only time will tell.

So, I want some fics where Peter hides his identity from Tony and the Avengers, especially with identity shenanigans. I need something to read all night, after all. This includes fics where he's an intern. Longer fics would be appreciated! Only on ao3 please, my Kindle Paperwhite can't go on FF.net due to Cloudflare.

Fics that I already know about (so don't recommend them):

Missing Links by spagbol99

The Rogues are back; Tony Stark couldn't even be mad about it - it was his idea after all. He's an Avenger and that means protecting the Earth at any cost - even if he has to deal with a certain star-spangled man and his sullen sidekick. After all, he's been through worse in his life; the loss of his wife and the disappearance of his son 12 years ago. Compared to that, this would be a walk in the park. Bucky Barnes is back on US soil as a free man. But freedom is more than just physical. On top of that, Steve is desperate for him to be the man he was before. The only problem is; that man is long dead. Peter Parker has been through the mill but he knows he just had to adapt, roll with the (many) punches and keep going. Spider-man is his safe place now, the one time he could truly feel like himself. Like he is making a difference. He'd make sure no one would suffer like he has, even if he has to track down the perpetrator himself.

Thunder and Attrition by magniloquentChanteuse

Peter Parker had been Spider-Man for five months and things were looking up. The beautiful and intelligent Gwen Stacy was showing interest in him. He found budding friendships with the Avengers. His reputation was growing in New York City. Spider-Man seemed to be at the top of his game and Peter Parker was finally regaining his footing after the death of his Uncle Ben. But as Gwen lamented his lack of attentiveness, the Avengers sniffed around Spider-Man's secret identity, and a mysterious man with a strange power and a terrifying plot emerged, Peter realized that he still had a lot to learn about leading this life he'd chosen. And with tragedy poised over his head, ready to fall, Peter was going to need to learn fast.

It’s Above My Clearance Level by tsk In which Peter's class goes on a field trip to Stark Tower, and no one knows why this kid has such high clearance.

Hot Chocolate by Isnt_it_pretty_to_think_so “So,” Natasha says smoothly, raising an eyebrow. “You’re Spiderman.” The kid is practically hyperventilating, staring at her with those damn eyes. “You . . . you . . .” “Relax,” she says, heading over to her secret stash of cocoa. “If I wanted to kill you, you’d be dead. Do you want some hot chocolate?” OR: The first time Natasha meets Stark's kid, it's almost three in the morning; spiders don't sleep, after all. Natasha is just used to being the only spider.

Gone Kid by Jen27ny Tony tries to mind his own business, he really does - but when he finds out someone sneaks into one of the rooms of the vacant Stark Tower, he gets curious. Especially when he sees the footage of said someone climbing the outside of the Tower by sticking to the smooth surface to reach the room on the 92nd floor. But when he finds the blood in that room, the concept of “minding his own business” is quickly thrown out of the window. That’s how Tony finds himself trying to befriend the costumed vigilante who comes and goes as he pleases and seems to have a talent for getting stabbed and - wait, how old is he?

do u ever look at the word count after you finish reading a really good fic all day long and realize you basically just read a epic novel (110,000+ words) and then have a minor existential crisis because you haven’t read like that since third grade when you were trying to escape reality.
