Peter Parker's life was at a point where he was content. He could manage his dysphoria and was on the way to relieve a whole lot of it. Spider-man had not gotten a major injury in two months. Aunt May and him were in an agreement on Spider-man. He had food, he had a roof above his head and he was doing alright. No one's life was perfect, but the good and the bad things balanced out.

Until they did not.

It all started when May was placed into quarantine. Whooping Cough, she said. A patient had coughed on her during her triage, it was just a precaution. Completely treatable, he knew.
But Aunt May had lied. Or she didn't know.

Follow Peter while he tries to survive and keep up the act.
Follow the Staff of Stark Industries while they navigate dealing with the Stark's unexpected announcements and new initiatives.
Learn how Stark Industries is a community, the avengers, employees and friends.

But I always wondered what if we put a little darkness in the character? That's where this AU was born. Peter's life as Spider-Man wasn't easy before and now with a manipulative and abusive guardian, things only get more complicated but he's still determined to listen to his uncles words: "With great power comes great responsibility) [Book 1 of The Broken Nor Series] [Book 2: Octo Callidus Debitum]

Save Me by lonely-nerd

Since the events at Homecoming Peter hadn't been the same. He began to remember things from the past that he'd worked so long and hard to forget. At first no one really noticed, except Tony. When May leaves the state for a six month work trip Peter is left with Tony Stark. Who soon realises that the Peter he got to know wasn't the real Peter, just someone he made up to show everyone that he was fine. Though something that's about to happen will change him completely. Will what's about to break him push him too far to come back from? Will he accept help? Can he come back from it? Will he even want to?

Sure, it's lonely, what with his family being dead, Ned and MJ in Boston, Mr. Stark off living his life happily with his family, and Happy avoiding him. But whatever, it's all fine.

A story about Peter Parker and his abusive aunt, and how Tony Stark shows him how to fight his demons. *** summary; Peter Parker's aunt, May Parker, has only ever known darkness. Despite living in an abusive household, Peter still remains hopeful in such a tormenting world, maintaining the belief that people are truly good at heart. And when Tony Stark walks into Peter's life, he felt as though he were living the dream. ...Until a dangerous organization contacts Peter. He knows he's in danger and, this time, he won't be able to save himself on his own. *** warnings and side notes; ! DON'T read this story if you get triggered by subjects like abuse, depression, suicide/suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, etc. ! there won't be any romantic relationships involving peter ! only ships that were canon before infinity war will be included ! this is tom holland's spider-man ! we're pretending civil war & infinity war & everything after homecoming didn't happen :) ! other avengers will be in it (yay!) ! cover art by the artist david nakayama ! the majority of the characters belong to MARVEL (only the villains and background characters are made up by me!)

Grab My Hand | Peter Parker by winterchildboobear

Tony and Peter have to come back together in time to save Peter from himself, set after homecoming. A broken and angry Peter has set himself apart from his world, sensing he is too dangerous. Can anyone convince him that he deserves better?

Pain Will Always Come Back to Haunt You by Kevy_Grayce

Peter Parker attempts to juggle being Spider-Man, a high school student, and traumatized all at the age of sixteen. Aunt May does her best to be supportive of her superhero nephew and Ned is always there to be his Guy in the Chair. Sometimes, it's still too much for Peter. When he thinks things can't get even more complicated, a villain inserts themselves into the mix. Tony Stark decides to awkwardly step in and tries to help Peter understand that his own health needs to come before Spider-Man. Peter isn't sure if he agrees.

The adorable Spider-Man (who is misunderstood by everyone) by Phoenyx18

Peter Parker has nothing left. He lost everything he loved. His parents died in a plane crash. His uncle was shot by a mugger he could've stopped. His aunt was killed and erased from this world because of his own incompetence. And to put a cherry on top of all of that he lost his home. Yes, Peter Parker aka your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, the lokal menace, is homeless. He tries his best to find enough food to not collapse, because without the possibility to go to college (because he has already finished school early so he isn't actually a dropout) he has more time to be Spider-Man, but that also requires energy. But the Avengers are there to safe the day! Because even a fellow hero sometimes needs help, right? Wishful thinking. Maybe they WOULD help a fellow hero. The only problem? They don't think of Spider-Man as such. They think of him more like a menace. So instead of helping him... they hunt him. This is a crossover of the MCU movies and Fantastic Four (2005)
