Summary
(I am Peter Benjamin Parker, and I exist.)
- - -
Three months after his existence was erased, Peter Parker was not doing so well. His solace came from knowing that at the very least he had managed to save his city in the end.
Apparently, though, Peter realized as Doctor Strange explained to him that he had to give up even more, losing everything-and-then-some just wasn't enough.
OR
The multiverse continues to collapse in on itself. Doctor Strange discovers the source of the problem as Peter Parker. The only viable solution is to remove Peter from his original universe so that no more entities will be drawn to his presence there.
Peter is sent to a world that lost its Peter Parker, and finds himself lost in a sea of people he'd grieved who had all grieved him in kind.

Summary
Peter wasn’t going to let May pay the rent all on her own. Not when there was two of them, not when being Spider-Man made everything that much harder.
And if that meant washing scratched up dishes and scrubbing old blood from the tile grout at Sister Margaret’s School for Wayward Girls, then so be it.
But then one night, his skin turned blue.
(If only his problems didn’t multiply from there.)

Summary
TW - suicide attempt, depression, disassociation
"The rain continued, monotonous and grounding. Only the rain. Never ending, churning, pattering, falling.
Fat, freezing droplets rolled down Peter’s face, clinging to his eyelashes and dripping from his nose. The teenager’s shoulders shook lightly and unevenly, wet hiccups silenced by the incessant roar of the rain.
What if… What if it were to just stop?
He took the step."Or
An angsty fic following what happens to Peter in the fall-out of NWH. Each chapter is inspired by an 80s song and there are lots of Star Wars references. Will be irondad centric when plot allows.

Summary
Peter is starting his freshman year at Columbia University. Like any other totally normal college student, he has totally normal things to worry about. Like getting to his 8 a.m. chemistry course on time. And finding people to sit with in the dining hall.
And meeting his new roommate.
…
Does having an incredibly powerful alien god and also (ex?) super-villain for a roommate make it easier or harder to keep being a teenage superhero? Peter’s only inquiring on a purely hypothetical basis, of course. Because he’s a totally normal college student.
Totally. Normal.
