    Summary

    In the wake of Peter Parker erasing himself from the memories of his friends and family, not to mention the entire universe, he's doing as well as can be expected. Three years later, he's attending ESU, trying to work three jobs alongside getting two degrees, and still going out as Spider-Man. He's fine, really. Everything is just fine. That is until a run-in with the law and a DNA test shatter the carefully constructed facade that Peter had made his life.

    -

    “Your blood matches a sample the FBI has on file from a kidnapping case.” Agent Carisi opens the thicker file. “A four-year-old boy taken while on vacation with his father about twenty years ago.”
    Peter’s breathing speeds up.
    “Authorities took fingerprint and DNA samples from the boy’s room, and at the father’s behest, we continue to test them against any that are placed within any system we have access to.”
    A piece of paper with lab results lays atop the file. It gets picked up and placed on the table.
    “This afternoon, we finally got a match.”

    Summary

    What if timing had been just a bit different? Where the Weasleys got a ticket to Egypt several years earlier, Sirius escapes when Harry is just about to turn ten, and when he visits him to find he's in the care of the Dursleys, what godfather would leave him there?
    With no one from before the war to go to, however, Sirius can only think of one person who can fill all the requirements: Someone he can contact or find, someone who can heal both of them, someone who won't tell the wizarding world that Harry is gone from it's muggle version, and someone who cared for Harry's parents the same way Sirius did. Or at very least, cared for one of them enough to get involved to stop Harry's abuse.
    The only one who checks off all the boxes, though, is none other than Severus Snape.

    Summary

    The apartment was smaller than the word apartment deserved.

    Calling it a box would have been more honest. Four walls, a ceiling low enough that Peter felt like he’d bang his head trying to stand up from unpacking, and a window that technically opened but jammed half the time. The place smelled faintly of mildew, maybe because of the carpet - or maybe because this whole building had given up on life a few decades ago and was just waiting for someone merciful to bulldoze it.

    He told himself it was fine. He told himself worse things had happened. Which, technically, was true.

    That didn’t make him feel any better.
