my current pet peeve is I keep seeing people portraying Michelle Jones as this cool, savvy, confident character. what world do y'all live in??? that dork is a mess. she keeps accidentally insulting her crush because she can’t deal with feelings and panics every time he so much as smiles at her. she literally follows him around and sketches pictures of him in her notebook when he’s not aware of it. I swear to God the girl watched Hey Arnold, saw Helga’s method of ‘dealing’ with her crush, and took notes.
like, if Peter’s plan had succeeded? If he had given MJ a gorgeous black dahlia necklace on top of the Eiffel Tower? she would have developed a debilitating fever before he had a chance to go in for a kiss. she 100% once coerced Ned into helping her hack into Peter’s medical records so she could calculate his star chart instead of just like, asking Peter if he knew what time he was born during a normal conversation. after she found out he was a Leo sun/ Aires moon/ Aires rising, and she realized she wasn’t horrified by that combination, she literally went to her therapist and begged her to walk her through why this wasn’t killing her crush on him. One time Peter got really passionate during a debate in class and afterwards MJ had to go lay down in the nurses office for a few minutes because she was so into that side of him and it freaked her out. On her birthday one year Peter got her some very specific niche candy that’s hard to find and doodled a few hearts in her card and she thought about it for weeks afterward. She probably unironically listens to Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” and sadly stalks through his instagram after she sees his lab parter Gwen flirting with him one time.
she’s 16!! she’s awkward!! Peter’s not the only one freaking out about their relationship! lol

It's a Little Bit Like Falling Up by
GremlinSR
When Penny Parker saved Morgan Stark she didn't expect anything to come of it. In fact, she'd learned not to expect much of anything from anybody after returning from being dust.
She hadn't counted on Tony Stark's inability to let a little thing like finding and thanking the person who saved his daughter go. Or on his determination to save her right back.
I feel like I should post two days out of the week because there’s like seventy more fics in my inventory and I won’t stop reading to play catch up
I Sure Do Like Those Christmas Cookies by

Tony is spending a fun afternoon baking cookies with his kids, but his older one isn't acting like himself.
Whatever the problem is, it's up to the now-retired hero to figure it out.

Every Monday, Peter Parker calls his social worker and asks the same question.
"Did you find a foster home that is willing to take in six kids?"
After a year of receiving the same answer, Peter has resigned himself to a life of avoiding his strict foster father, looking out for his brothers, and counting down the days between visitation with his other brother and sisters, all while trying to navigate new powers he doesn't fully understand. Peter has almost given up hope of getting all his siblings under the same roof, until he spots an article on his Twitter feed: "STARKS LOOKING TO EXPAND THEIR FAMILY THROUGH FOSTER CARE."
Will a long-buried family secret and a sob story be enough to reunite the Parker siblings?

The Adventures of Peter Parker and Shuri by aceschwarz222

More Adventures of Peter Parker and Shuri by

Peter Parker and Shuri are science bros for life. It's been a year since they first met, and with the second summer upon them, it's time for more crazy shenanigans. And what better place to start those shenanigans than with a wedding in Las Vegas?
What’s with the newfound fear of little girls wanting to be princesses?
If your five-year-old starts saying she wants to be a princess, tell her ‘princess’ is a political position and that she has a responsibility to look out for her kingdom. Say you’ll be her royal advisor and help her improve her stuffed animal subjects’ standard of living.
See THAT’S how you empower little girls. Not by taking away something they like, but showing them how what they like can be empowering.
