Summary
... 'Cause I need you here. You keep me safe, you keep me safe and sound.
Peter wasn’t typically one for crowded places. It wasn’t that he didn’t like people, people were great, it was the sound, smell, and heat that so many bodies in one place created. And, no matter how physically affectionate Peter was, and he was very physically affectionate (it was something his friends accepted readily; even going out of their ways to give him countless hugs and hold his hand), he could never grow to be okay with how uncomfortably close strangers often got.
Overall, Peter didn’t like crowded places. But it didn’t matter because here he was, anxiously running his hand along his pants in the middle of a business gala.
OR
Peter really doesn't like crowds and has a sensory overload at an event for Stark Industries and Oscorp. Harry helps him out. -

Summary
“Mr. Stark. Really? Is the FIFTEEN YEAR OLD SPIDER MUTANT really the most responsible one in this situation?” Peter sighed, planting his hands on his hips after standing back up. Tony turned around slowly, and his faceplate slid up to reveal a grin, his eyes sparkling.
“Nah. I was just messing with him. Wouldn’t want to teach my kid anything… Childish.” Iron Man winked.
“... Mr. Stark? Do you think I could keep this money?”
OR
Tony takes Peter with him to meet Batman (AKA Bruce Wayne) and things take a turn for the better and the worse.

Summary
“Perhaps we are doing her a favor then,” he says, pausing to chew the inside of his cheek before adding in a measured, careful voice. “I wouldn’t want to live without my love, either.”
Arthur whips around in the saddle to stare at him, eyes hard and dark, like the storm clouds building on the distant horizon. “What love? You haven’t got a love,” he snaps, like he’s the sole keeper of all Merlin’s secrets.

Summary
Sometimes the thoughts are just too much. Sometimes Dan breaks. Sometimes he finds himself drowning on the kitchen floor, unwilling to ask for help and too insecure to think that anyone would want to help him anyway. Luckily, Phil loves him.

Daniel in the Den by gaydreaming

Summary
On the good days, Dan can acknowledge that he’s doing well, in the grand scheme of things.
When he’s in the pit, though, the darkness swallows him whole. He scrambles around blindly but all he can feel are the walls that he can’t climb. It’s as true now as it was ten years ago: when he’s living through the worst of it, it’s nearly impossible for him to understand that as things get worse, so too will they get better.
But just like ten years ago, always, in that darkness, there’s Phil.
----
or:
It's 2026, and Dan Howell has everything he only ever dared to dream about. He also still has depression, and days where nothing makes sense.

Summary
Tommy's a fuck up, he can't pay attention, and never sits still. He taps his hands, pushes people away, and has never had a best friend. He's a screwed up, forgotten kid lost in the foster system. He's also just been placed with a new family. Tommy knows how this goes, he never ends up staying long. After all, no one wants a fuck up like him.
Why would this house be any different?
-
Or: the obligatory sbi foster au, but with a focus on the neurodivergent kids that inevitably get lost in the system.
