For @starkerhowlter and many thanks to @the-mad-starker for being an amazing beta.

It had been a shitty day, if Peter were being honest. His chem lab partner had failed to do their portion of the lab, and the professor didn’t particularly care about Peter’s plight. His grade didn’t hinge on it but it wasn’t fair to lose 5% of his grade just because his partner was a trust fund baby who couldn’t care less about college. And sure, Tony paid for everything so Peter wasn’t in danger of losing his funding if he didn’t get an A in the class, but it was a pride thing. Peter worked hard and his grades reflected it. He loved to make Tony and May proud, loved to feel like he would one day be able to match Tony’s brains and achievements and be more than just a boy toy to his peers. 

“Welcome back, Mrs. Boss,” Friday said as Peter entered the private elevator. 

“Is he ever going to let me change that back?” Peter groaned. “It was a joke. I said it one time to Pepper.”

“Sorry, Mrs. Boss, but Boss’s orders,” Friday replied teasingly. Peter started to reply when Friday flickered the lights and Peter felt the elevator shift directions.

“Friday?” Peter asked, senses going to full alert.

“Boss just began experiencing a panic attack. I am redirecting you to the lab,” Friday said. Peter frowned but nodded.

“Thank you, Friday. Get me to him asap.”

Since they’d started dating Peter’s sophomore year of college, they’d both handled their fair share of panic attacks. It had been embarrassing at first but then they’d both realized they just wanted to help, to make it better. After that, they worked to put together systems and protocols for each other until it became old hat. 

Peter grabbed blankets from his station as he headed for where Dum-E sat beeping forlornly. 

“It’s ok, bud, we’ll take care of him,” Peter promised. It may have been routine to an extent, but it still made Peter’s chest ache when he saw his fiance on the floor, panic on his face, his breathing coming in sharp gasps. “Hey Tones. Can you breathe with me?”

Peter drew exaggerated breaths, pulling Tony’s hand onto his chest so he could feel Peter’s heart beat and the rise and fall of his chest. 

“I’m here, Tony,” Peter said. “I’m here. Everything is ok. Everyone is fine. Just breathe with me.”

Peter continued speaking soothingly while breathing deeply, and slowly, Tony matched his breathing to Peter’s. 

“Hey, there you are,” Peter said softly. “Want to talk about it?”

“Just triggered a memory,” Tony said softly. Peter nodded and grabbed a blanket.

“Floor or couch?”

“Here.”

Peter grabbed a few more blankets and the soft floor chair he had found with Tony in mind. Without a word, he set the chair down and gently lifted Tony onto it, then tucked him in with the blankets. Dum-E brought a few water bottles over, and Peter sat with his back pressed against Tony’s side as they waited out the jitters. 

At first, Peter tried to do homework, but he was still frustrated from the lab, so he switched to his phone instead. That worked for all of three minutes before his hands were itching for something to do. 

Luckily, all it took was a quickly typed message to Friday, and Dum-E brought him a lego kit that Tony kept down here for when Peter just needed to zone out. 

It was a small kit but that was ok. Peter had other kits if he finished this one before Tony was ready to move again. The click of pieces was soothing, and Peter felt his muscles slowly relaxing as he got further and further into it. Before he knew it, the model was done and Peter looked up to see Dum-E with another one. 

“Thanks, buddy,” Peter said. This one was bigger, so Peter started by sorting pieces before getting started. He was barely two pages into the instruction when Tony surprised him and started grabbing pieces. The older man didn’t say anything so Peter just shrugged and kept working, only to frown when he couldn’t find a piece he needed a few steps later. 

“It’s the ten year anniversary apparently,” Tony said out of nowhere. “Of the Battle for New York. They ran a special on the news. Showed the old footage of the fight, and ah- my impromptu trip to space.”

“That must have been hard to watch,” Peter said softly, intentionally staying focused on his build. Tony always found it easier to talk when he wasn’t put on the spot. 

“You’d think after ten years I’d be over it,” Tony said, and Peter could hear the bitterness in Tony’s voice. “Instead, all it took was 30 seconds of shaky camera work to make it feel like I was trapped again.”

“It’s been nearly 7 years since the Vulture, and I still have nightmares about being crushed,” Peter admitted. “Not as often, and it’s been a lot better since I’ve had you to wake up with, but they’re still there.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Tony asked softly.

“Everyone else runs into stuff like that and just seems to keep going,” Peter said with a shrug. “I figured since no one ever talked about it that it was either just me or they handled it and it eventually went away so there wasn’t a point in mentioning it.”

“But you know I still struggle,” Tony pointed out.

“Yeah, but like, you worry about the next attack and keeping everyone safe,” Peter replied. “Things that are still active threats. You never talk about the old stuff. About Afghanistan or New York, or Ultron.”

“Even now, they’re hard to talk about,” Tony admitted, and Peter shot him a gentle smile.

“That’s ok. You don’t have to talk about things if you’re not ready,” Peter said, parroting back what Tony always told him. “Though it normally makes it easier to manage. At least, that’s what I’ve been told.”

“Ok, smartass, no using my words against me,” Tony grumbled but Peter could see his lips twitching as the older man fought to hide his smile. 

“Hey, you’re like the smartest guy I know,” Peter said, his smile even bigger. “Who else’s words am I supposed to use?”

“Your own are just fine,” Tony said, giving Peter a pointed look. 

“I’ll consider it,” Peter retorted. Silence fell between them again but it was much more comfortable, and they both continued clicking legos together.

“Tony, have you seen this 4 by 1 by 1?” Peter asked, pointing to the book. 

Tony just shrugged, and Peter looked more closely at what Tony was doing. For the first time, Peter realized whatever Tony was building looked nothing like the picture on the kit. 

“Tony, what are you making?” Peter asked, confused. 

“Just wait, nearly done,” Tony said, completely focused. Peter did, watching silently as Tony kept grabbing pieces, and even stole a few from Peter’s pile. When the older man was done, Peter still wasn’t sure what he was looking at.

“Tony?” 

“What, can't recognize a web shooter configuration just because it’s made of legos?”

Peter examined the legos more closely and realized Tony was right. It was like the inside of part of his web shooter. 

“How? Why? Tony?” Peter questioned, fighting laughter. “What am I supposed to do with this?” 

“Put it on display with your other ones of course,” the man said confidently. “It’s a one of a kind Tony Stark special after all. Now, how about you tell me what’s got my little spider worked up.”

“Let’s move to the couch first,” Peter said with a sigh. “I want proper cuddles.”

“Of course, babe,” Tony said with a gentle smile. Peter helped Tony up and they dragged their blankets to the couch.

It took a bit of work to get everyone arranged comfortably, but soon, Peter had his head on Tony’s shoulder, curled up along the length of his body. 

“So what happened, Tesoro?” Tony asked. 

“My lab partner didn’t complete their portion of the lab so we failed it,” Peter said, struggling to keep his voice even. “It’s only 5% of our grade but the professor won’t even let me redo it for partial credit.”

“I’m sorry, Tesoro,” Tony said, placing kisses on Peter’s head. “Seems like a bad day for everyone, huh?”

“Yeah. We’ll be ok though,” Peter said with a shaky smile.

“Of course we will,” Tony said confidently. “We have each other after all.”

Later, after Tony’s hands had stopped shaking and Peter didn’t feel like crying, they had Friday order pizza and put a movie on. And when Tony wasn’t looking, Peter grabbed the lego web shooter and pocketed it to put with his collection. After it, it was a Tony Stark special, and Peter always took care of those.

Sassy Peter is a MENACE.

not only is he a menace he's also a spitting image of Tony when he was younger.

No.

Not his playboy days, or his snarky remark days.

The days where Tony would ramble on like the nerdy scientist he is.

So that's why, when rhodey comes back, seeing a nerdy little kid with curly brown hair that strikingly resembled tonys, He didn't question it.

He simply patted Peter on the back and went to go grab Tony to interrogate the poor man on why he kept his nephew from him.

Supreme family? I don't know her, all I know is Team Well, Shit.

#jk I love supreme family with my heart #I love their different “well shit” faces in this scene #Peter looking so amazed by everything my sweet child #the grown ups stressing over the universe AND the spider kid #precious #supreme family #doctor strange #stephen strange #tony stark #iron man #I had to make Tony's suit a bit more angular because jesus I really dislike how smooth and insect like the IW suit is to draw #spiderman #peter parker #spider man #ironstrange

realistically, spider-man has probably befriended loads of vigilantes ( maybe even kind of sort of criminals ) while patrolling and he’s probably got thousands of connections without realizing it.

at this point in time he’s been to loads of avengers meetings and debriefs and while it’ll never NOT be cool, he isn’t.. it just isn’t something he looks forward too or stressed about anymore.

so he’s been caught late a few times, stumbling in mumbling apologies and excuses ( tony teases him for it— oh are we not cool enough for you? )

he’s late for a briefing this time, some sort of underground network of bases ( it’s a secret lair, why can’t they just call it a secret lair? ) and peter isn’t really surprised, he’s worked on these sorts of missions before—

“oh, mr captain rogers — deadpool is already working on this one, he invited me yesterday but i was napping and missed the call, don’t tell him that though he’ll get sad.”

and suddenly he’s being questioned by everyone but clint who wasn’t all that surprised ( neither was natasha, but what bussiness did peter have talking to people like deadpool? )

“when the hell did you start talking to deadpool—”

“ he has your NUMBER?—”

“ we’re friends mr stark— what do you mean— i know other— of course i’m friends with other vigila— is anyone listening?? ”

“did you hack karen? why wasn’t i— this should be in the baby monitor—”

“why did he contact you of all people— is he doing this alone? do you know how dangerous—”

Big big fan of SI employees being intimidated by Tony at first because wtf iron man is my boss but then a couple months into the job they see Tony in the same room as Steve and realize he's just a science nerd with a big dorky crush on Captain America there's nothing to fear he's just like us fr

Irondad fic ideas #151

There is a LOT of Iron Man merch out there. One day, Stark Industries comes out with a line of Iron Man themed night lights that look like arc reactors. The marketing? "For kids who are scared of the dark: Iron Man will protect you."

In completely unrelated news, a whole bunch of child abusers across the country have recently been arrested as a result of  anonymous tips to local authorities.

Bonus:

It's an open secret at some point. Teens who are being abused start buying the night lights. Hell, adults start buying them. Charities pop up to cover the cost for anyone who needs it. Kids who are newly safe often send their night lights on to others ("I'm not scared of the dark anymore," they say).

Even with all of this, nobody snitches to the media or government. They all know grown-ups tend to complicate and ruin precious things.

It helps that the night lights clearly can distinguish between different types of situations. Kids whose parents need mental health or addiction support suddenly find they're being contacted by free services that actually help. If ICE is a concern, the people knocking on the door are not cops but immigrant rights activists. Kids who are hungry get food. Families who need housing support coincidentally find it.

"Iron Man will protect you," indeed.

This fic idea was inspired by this post from @fotibrit!!

DP x DC x Marvel

This is an idea I had yesterday, but I didn't want it to be swept away from the Dannypocalypse, so let's gooooo!

The Lazarus Pits are just more than just leaked ectoplasm into the material world, they're unstable rifts that could potentially tear apart the whole Infinite Realms! (The Fenton Portal doesn't count because technology keeps it stable.)

While one or two could be somehow manageable, the League of Assassins found a way to recreate them and the new model was definitely more unstable than the old ones...

SO this clearly needed an intervention.

Luckily, Clockwork has two apprentices heroes that own them some favors...

This is how Danny Fenton/Phantom, Peter Parker/Spider-man and the ghost of one (1) Tony Stark (as an emotional support ghost) found themselves being loaned to the DC Universe to close every single one of these Pits.

(Danny became CW's unofficial apprentice after they helped him with TUE.)

(@stealingyourbones @ashoutinthedarkness @the-sprog if y'all are interested... >:3c)

(Spoilers from Spider-man: No Way Home under the cut.)

(Peter is the one from the MCU after No Way Home, but he gets his happy ending thanks to CW who fixed Strange's Spell and so MJ and Ned still remember him... in exchange for a future favor, AKA being transferred to the DCU to fix things.)

#danny phantom #marvel mcu #dcu #dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x marvel #dp x dc x marvel #danny fenton #peter parker #tony stark #ghost tony stark #at first only Danny could see him #but staying in his proximity fed g!tony enough passive ectoplasm to be seen by everyone #and then he makes it everyone's problem #fic prompt #someone give Peter a little bit of happiness #not as much angst as I saw in every spider-man (MCU) x dcu I came across until now #unleashing this beast/prompt in wild in hope that someone latches on it #because while I would love to be the change I want in the world I have so little time

Peter: Why do we even celebrate Valentine's Day? It's just a made-up holiday to sell greeting cards and chocolates.

Pepper: Oh, come on, Peter. Don't be so cynical. Valentine's Day is a time to show your loved ones how much you care about them.

Tony: Yeah, and it's also a great excuse to get drunk and hook up with strangers.
