Summary
Falling in love with Elle is hard. Objectively, it doesn't make a lot of sense. She’s not his type at all - excitable, rich, a little too focused on her appearance and very, well…, girly. Emmett, while generally not the type to fall in love easily, considers himself to be someone who judges people based on their character rather than their looks. It’s kind of hard not to notice Elle’s looks though, when she keeps strutting around campus in high-heels and alarmingly short miniskirts.

Summary
That’s when another voice is added to the mix and Peter’s pulse spikes a second time. “Oh, thank God, you found her,” a person, who looks and sounds suspiciously like Tony Stark, says. Peter looks back over at the woman and – yeah okay, that is definitely Pepper Potts.
Oh God, Peter just tried to explain a science pun to Tony Stark’s daughter.
Morgan rolls her eyes, finally letting go of his hand in favour of being picked up by her father. “No, daddy, I found him,” she says and gives Mr. Stark a meaningful look. Peter just isn’t sure what said meaning is supposed to be.Or: 5 reasons not to adopt Peter Parker + 5 times his attempts to fix them were never necessary in the first place

Summary
Tony grits his teeth. “What do you want me to do?”
At that, the first genuine smile flits across Ross's face. It’s quickly hidden behind his usual mask of casual indifference. “We need you to watch the boy over the holidays.”
Tony blinks. “What?”
Ross leans back in the chair, regarding him with a calculating look. For a moment, Tony thinks he going to kick his dirty shoes up on the table. “Well, you know, with everyone gone for the holidays there is no one else to do it.” He stops, obviously enjoying the thought of his next words. “And you wouldn’t mind doing it, would you? Seeing as you don’t have any family to visit yourself.”Or: The Holdovers AU that nobody needed but I really wanted to write

Summary
Peter is still fussing with his shirt, mentally rehearsing the usual pleasantries, when he turns the corner—and stops dead. The anxious couple he expected to be perched on the edge of the battered sofa is nowhere to be found. Instead, Tony Stark is draped in one of the office chairs, dressed in a pristine white suit and shades, as if he’s stepped straight off the pages of a fashion magazine.
“Ah, Peter, there you are,” Mrs. Williams says, smiling at him from behind her desk. “This here is Mr. Stark,” she explains, like that isn’t blatantly obvious. Like Tony Stark is just any other parent. “He’s here to visit you.”

Summary
“Is this distracting?” Elle asked, fingers twisting and twirling at the hair at the back of his head. And then they ran up, threading through to scratch at his scalp, and his eyelids fluttered. Absolutely. It felt like his scalp was being massaged by Aphrodite, of course it was distracting.

Summary
“Your parents have been grooming you to take over the company, correct? You’ve been working closely alongside them, alongside their best scientists and technicians. I’m sure you’ve learned a fair deal. We could use that expertise at Stark Industries.”
“Essentially,” Parker says, “you want to pay me to reveal my parents’ company secrets.”
“Yes,” Tony says, cheerfully. “Thank you for catching on so quickly.”
—
Tony’s week just turned a lot more promising: Rich kid Peter Parker has apparently dropped out of college and provoked the ire of his parents. A delicious scandal for the tabloids. And an opportunity too good to waste, even if it means putting up with a snooty, preppy college kid as his new intern.- Language:

Summary
Daddy looks faraway, like he’s daydreaming or remembering something. “Peter and I grew really close. He wasn’t my kid, but I—I cared about him like he was.”
Morgan definitely doesn’t like that. She doesn’t want to share her dad with some random boy! Besides, Peter is practically a grown-up in the picture Daddy had given her. Surely he doesn’t need parents anymore! He’d already had his own dad.
Why should he get to have hers, too?
***
Or, Morgan Stark isn't sure how she feels about this whole Peter-coming-back-from-the-dead thing.
