    The Only Light I See

    'Cause when I needed a place to hang my heart
    You were there to wear it from the start
    And with every breath of me
    You'll be the only light I see

    ------
    Tony Stark was a lot of things. Billionaire, genius, philanthropist, playboy.

    One thing Tony Stark didn't think he was, was stupid. But staring at the very pregnant woman in front of him, he knew that today that was not going to be the case.


    Dark Before the Dawn

    Even when it's dark before the dawn
    I'll feel your grace and carry on.
    And with every breath of me
    You'll be the only light I see

    ----
    It wasn't three days.

    Tony had promised he would be gone for only three days. So Peter was counting down the seconds until his dad got home.


    The Peace of Mind I Left Behind

    I'm racing to the finish line
    Of a lifetime that's barely started
    The peace of mind I left behind
    I pray you'll keep in your perfect garden

    ----

    After the Avengers left, Peter had hoped that everything would go back to normal. Everything was fine and they had saved the day right? But things didn’t go back to normal.

  3. Summary

    Tony Stark would never describe his relationship with his father as anything other than difficult. So what would possess him to suddenly agree to become the guardian of some random kid from Queens?

    Peter Parker lost his parents when he was barely old enough to remember them, leaving him in the care of Uncle Ben and Aunt May. But when tragedy strikes again during the Stark Expo, it's none other than Iron Man himself, his hero, who comes to rescue him.

    As the months and years pass, bringing with them new challenges and threats, both Tony and Peter will be forced to come to grips with their troubled pasts, and learn that their greatest strengths come from each other.

    Summary
    Anthology containing:

    You're Stuck With Me Now, Tony Stark

    “No,” is all Tony can say with another dry swallow. Happens a lot when he’s especially anxious. Who knew that simply speaking to an eleven-year-old could trigger such a reaction?

    Peter cocks a brow and asks Tony why he’s here.

    And Tony blurts out the first thing that comes to mind.

    Peter looks at him confusedly in response and asks, “Why would you want to replace my glasses?”

    ---

    Tony has almost nothing to look forward to. Nothing to drive him. Nothing to move him. He's stuck in a funk, living day-to-day, the horrors of his past and the realities of his present bearing down on him harder and harder with each passing day; his mind coming up with new ways to belittle him every day.

    That is, of course, until he meets a baby-faced kid with a proclivity towards scientific advancement.

    And, suddenly, things don't seem too bad anymore. Shame Tony can't really understand why.


    I'm Stuck on You, Tony Stark

    The grin’s sincere, but it’s not quite reaching his eyes, and the man can’t stop fidgeting in his seat, and every so often he’ll flick a gaze over towards the clock Steve knows to be behind his head despite the fact that he’s already wearing a watch.

    He asks if he's okay before he even thinks twice about it.

    Tony laughs, “Peachy keen. Never better. I’m just full of sunshines and rainbows and unicorns.”

    “And of shit, too, apparently,” Steve responds.

    ---

    Those who said that Tony Stark didn't have a heart, in Steve's most esteemed opinion, were morons who didn't know a fragment of the man he does, because it's safe to say that, if anything, Tony Stark has probably too much heart. And Steve can't help but love him for it - though he knows he can never have him.


    We'll Stick With You, Steve Rogers

    “Steve, I wanna get you and Tony together.”

    “I thought you were done with this,” Steve manages to groan, suddenly unable to make eye contact with a person not even a fourth of his (chronological) age.

    “No, not done,” Peter says with decision heavy in his voice, “Just put on the backburner for a bit.”

    ‘A bit’ is a bit of an understatement, considering it’s been weeks since they had the conversation about Peter’s obvious desire to see Steve and Tony together.

    Steve doesn’t note on that, however.

    ---

    A lot's happened these past few months- Peter's officially joined the family, everybody's happy, everything's just great- but he figures that just means that it was high time for drama to start ripping what he's gained to shreds and dare to try and take one of his most precious people from him.


    Please Stick With Me, Steve Rogers

    Steve stands awkwardly at the doorway, as if he must be invited in so that he may enter.

    “Are you a secret vampire, Steve?” Tony asks, eyebrow raised to mask the worry.

    Steve smiles a bit. “No,” he says, shaking his head, “Just not quite sure what’s supposed to happen next is all.”

    “What happens next?” he echoes.

    Steve shifts a bit, obviously embarrassed. “I’m not an idiot,” Steve mumbles, “I’m just not sure of the… the protocol of what’s supposed to happen.”

    He can’t help but parrot right back the word, “Protocol?”, not as so much confused as he is amused now, because he can’t help but imagine them drafting a battle plan for sex.

    ---

    It's been over a month since the incident with the Mandarin, and Tony couldn't be happier now, with his newfound relationship with Steve and the loving, paternal relationship he has with his son - but a small part of him (maybe, admittedly, not very small at all) can't ignore the sense of crippling doubt to the durability of their relationship, especially given the kind of man he knows himself to be.


    To Become

    But he doesn’t. He’s come too far and Dad says that Stark men are made of iron, and Peter’s not a Stark but he’s the son of one so that counts for something. He’s got a big name to live up to, and as such he stands his ground, imagining himself to be a iron pole ripping up through the concrete, opens his mouth and says,

    ”HiI’mPeterParkerandIthinkyou’vebeenlookingformemayIcomeinplease?"

    ...

    Our teenage years are a time for us, as people, to find out who we are, who we are made to be in the world around us, which is hard enough to figure out if you're normal. Try being the secret adopted son of Captain America and Iron Man.


    I Wanted to Stick by You, Tony Stark

    WARNING: Infinity War spoilers. Canonical character death will ensue.
    ...

    He has his share of slip ups, obviously, because nobody’s perfect but Dad has come to forgive him for them. Sure, he was pretty steamed about that for a while, but even Dad admits the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is looking to become a remarkable influence of good for the city.

    ...

    As the time winds down, Peter recounts the five points he’d agreed to when Tony allowed him to take up the mantle of Spider-Man, and the regrets he has obtained from the life he has led.
