    Summary

    In early spring of 209 AC, on the cusp of his heat, Lyonel Baratheon takes the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall to his bed. It ought mean nothing. But when Baelor Breakspear survives the Trial of Seven, the hours Lyonel spent with the hedge knight and the babe that comes of them set in motion a cascade of changes that warp the fate of the realm.

    Plague, drought, politics -- Duncan has little opinion on any of them. He only knows that somewhere, at the point where the sky meets the sea, Lyonel is waiting for a true knight to return to him. But to become a man worthy of Lyonel Baratheon requires growth, and the Red Keep is quick to grind its heel upon the unwary.

    Summary

    "Kid," says Tony Stark wearily, "Please gimme a reason Loki's been spotted talking to Spiderman that isn't 'I wanted to be his friend'. Please. Tell me you can do that."

    Peter hums. "I could?"

    "And that reason would be the truth?"

    Peter shrugs into his sweater. "If you wanted it to be the truth it could be."

    "That right there, that right there, is why I know it's gonna be a lie."

     

    ***

    Peter befriends Loki, and then some.

    Summary

    "It's not the world that needs saving right now. It's you."

    Tony Stark had loved and lost. He had loved and was left alone. He had trusted and was betrayed. He had trusted and got his heart scarred.

    So the solution is obvious to him now. Don't trust. Don't love. Don't fall. Don't care. Don't be stupid. Not again.

    If only he hadn't stumbled upon a certain sorcerer and made those same mistakes all over again, everything would have been so easy.

    Also, Peter Parker went from zero father figure to two.

    Summary

    So apparently Tony's got a kid. And apparently everyone's out to get said kid. Hydra wants to use him to get to Tony, his uncle likes beating on him, and the kids at school are cruel and hurtful.

    All right, so his son needs a little protecting. That shouldn't be too hard. The boy's adorable. Plus, his dad is Iron Man.
