Summary
Peter Parker didn’t blip, he instead lost the only family he ever knew. Instead of entirely throwing his life away, he became one of the most successful CEOs, head of P.B Inc, top of the top in biochemicals, engineering and weaponry. At twenty one years old he has zero self control; the partying, the alcohol, the drugs, it’s what he does best. So when his family returns again after a harsh five years, the last thing they expected to see was Peter Parker - Now Peter Benjamin, taller, older, and far more famous - larger than Tony Stark ever was. His families presence brings Peter immense pain as he battles with his 16 year old self who he left in the past, and his 21 year old self whom of which can only seem to resort to extremes. Will Peter allow himself to love again. Or will he, like his teenage self, leave them in the past too? Will he keep his 'everlasting' scowl and continue with his fury filled lifestyle?

Summary
Tony Stark had lost his son when he was only 2 years old, stolen away in broad daylight with nobody the wiser of what exactly happened. Years later, Tony has just made it through the disaster with Ultron. He is trying to keep himself and the team together but relationships are strained and tempers are running high.
Then a random turn of events leads to his path crossing with that of a particular vigilante. They are strangers to each other, or so they think.Peter Parker is on top of the world. After a few shitty years, losing his parents and then losing his Uncle, things are finally looking up. Sure he lives in a crappy little apartment with his Aunt but he might have just found his mission in life.

This is an AU story obvious by some of the tags. I'm starting out a few weeks after Age of Ultron took place. Civil War will be a thing.

Summary
If you were to tell Peter Parker nearly nine years ago that he would grow up to be considered one of the greatest heroes of all time, he definitely wouldn’t believe you.
After all, how could he, Peter Parker, King of Geeks, Midtown Highschool’s Professional Wallflower, and Lord of the Dorks, ever grow up to be a hero that could be considered in the same league as Captain Freakin’ America?

Summary
Red.
Red was quite the color.
The color of love, the color of hate.
The color of glowing cheeks under a streetlight, of smiling lips and sweet rose petals. The color of a sour lollipop in a child’s young hand.
The color of war, of blood, of pain. The color that plagued the nightmares of the bravest men.
Yes, red was quite a few things at once, but right now, it was the color that coated Peter Parker’s hands as he stumbled away from the warm corpses of his aunt and uncle, silhouetted cruelly by the neon store signs, and into the unknown of a quiet, star-dotted night in Queens.
——
Or, the homeless Peter au where civil war didn’t happen, Spiderman’s Identity is still a mystery, and May got shot with Ben. Enjoy.
