Summary
Post-"Strands in the Rope" Series kick-off. Reading that series will give you the best background for this, but theoretically you could also assume we pick up where Infinity War would start, but then don't do any of that.
Bruce Banner returns to earth (with Thor, and part of his people) and reunites with Tony Stark at the Compound. A certain Spider-kid hears about the Avengers' return and manages to show up as well. Conversations and realizations ensue.Series

Summary
Peter finally gets to meet Thor (and Loki) in an unlikely spot, and Tony does a little more co-parenting with May. Kind of a throwback to how most of the early "Strands in the Rope" stories were. :) Just our favorites living their lives.

Summary
Peter huffed a laugh and finally moved forward, gently shouldering his mentor out of the way, and hefted the dusty piece of tech the older man had been tugging at. “Where do you want it? And is this a mainframe unit? An old one?”
“There on the ground next to the other one,” Tony said, walking ahead of him into the main lab area, and gesturing to where he had another unit hard-wired into the wall. “And yes, it is a mainframe unit circa 2012, I believe. Well, more like 2015 for the general public.”
“Did you set it on fire or something?” Peter joked. It definitely looked charred.
“Not me. It’s from the Malibu house,” Tony said quietly.

Summary
Happy Hogan asks Daren Anderson to help him out with a little project.
My take on idk-bruh-20's irondad fic ideas #128: Fic where, after a security incident in which some bozo accused Peter of trespassing at Stark Tower, Happy holds an emergency briefing for the entire SI security team.
The topic of the briefing? The absolutely untouchable, vital-to-know-if-you-want-to-keep-your-job level of importance of one Peter Parker.

Some Reassembly Required by Sara (stillctrsara)
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)

Summary
With the discovery of an entire sub-section of extraterrestrials who may not have peaceful intentions, and who will mostly likely want some things they have, the U.N. is worried about Earth's protection. They move quickly to pardon the rogue Avengers, as well as re-work the Accords to be less restrictive, with the condition that the team get back together (and do their best to build a good working relationship quickly). Of course it falls to Tony to house lead the reunification efforts, but Peter's not about to let him go down and welcome his former teammates by himself, and neither is Pepper.

Stay With Me by Sara (stillctrsara)
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies)
01 Sep 2023
Tags
Summary
Tony's been so busy he hasn't had time to spend with any of his favorite people, and it's starting to make him feel grumpy. Or is that maybe the tickle in his throat?
Totally unnecessary to read anything else in this series to enjoy this one. (But know that this AU has diverged when "Infinity War" would have happened, and that it's the summer before Peter's senior year.)
Sicktember 2023 prompts "Hopelessly Bad at Self-Care," "But if you stay, you'll get sick too," and Cozytober prompts "Favorite Warm Sweatshirt," and "Catching a Cold."

Summary
Peter's birthday plans fall apart due to sick friends, and Tony wants to make it special for him anyway. He asks May about Peter's "bucket list," and the resulting trip (with Natasha and Clint, and some of their family) holds even more adventure than they expected.
Part of my "Strands in the Rope" and "Unbroken Strands" universe, but could be enjoyed on its own.

Summary
“Can you get the door for me?” Peter had his arms full, and Tony eyed him critically, hand paused on the knob.
“How are you planning to get up there with all that?”
“I’m sticky, remember?”
“I remember, I just doubt your innate grace, kiddo. Also, it’s cold out there. Don’t stay too long.”
Peter rolled his eyes. “I’ve got it. Don’t worry so much.”
“Well, hopefully you can offer some comfort. I don’t doubt your skills in that area, at least,” he said with a smile.
“Thanks. Hopefully he’ll talk to me.”Series

Aunt Infestation by Sara (stillctrsara)

Summary
Pepper's out of town, and Peter had sort of invited Tony to spend Thanksgiving with him and May.
“You can totally come, Tony, but I gotta warn you about May’s aunts,” Peter had said, his face very serious. “They’re crazy.”
When Tony had given him a questioning look, Peter had continued. “I mean, they were crazy the last time I saw them, and that was like six years ago, so they’re probably even crazier now that they’re older.”Chaos and busybody-ness ensue.
(Also, this title is funnier if you pronounce "aunt" like we do out in the western U.S...)

Summary
Fury pulls the new Avengers team together for a training exercise but makes a poor choice, and Peter gets the brunt of it. Tony reacts predictably, especially when he realizes he doesn't know everything that happened back during the Homecoming fiasco.
(Part of the Strands in the Rope/Unbroken Strands series, but honestly any of these stories can mostly be enjoyed as stand-alones if you fill in background relationships yourself. :) Just know that everything in canon happened (but a lot more!) up until Infinity War would have happened, but then we took a hard right and reimagined everything after that point! The Avengers are back and trying to figure out how to work together again, and Tony and Peter are basically family, and everything is as it should be!
