    Summary

    New York is messy, loud, brittle, and loyal to the bone. It doesn't have heroes—not really, not in the way it matters. But it has Spider-Man, and that's enough. It’ll do anything to keep him, even keep its loudest secrets in the dark.

    Summary

    After the world forgot him, Peter kept fighting. He was Spider-Man after all. But as the villains get worse and the heroes dwindle, Peter finally grows tired. Hasn't he done his time? He's never once shirked the responsibility forced upon him. Never once has he put himself first.

    Eventually, the straw breaks the camel's back. Peter finally hangs up the cape.

    Unfortunately the universe seems to disagree. When Peter wakes up in Gotham he knows he should probably find a way home. But what's the point? Normal people don't find their way home across the multiverse, and Peter is normal now. He refuses to be anything else.

    So why do unfamiliar heroes keep ending up on his doorstep? And can he really turn them away?

    --

    In which Peter Parker just wants to retire but instead he becomes a mentor for young dcu heroes and his home becomes a vigilante halfway house

    Summary

    The Mutants are scattered. On the night of the annual Hellfire Gala, Krakoa is destroyed, and Professor Xavier goes missing. With Krakoa gone, there is no more sovereign Mutant nation, and there is no more resurrection. Worse, a new president has been elected in America on the back of anti-Mutant sentiment, and has installed Bolivar Trask as the head of the newly formed Department of Mutant Relations. Once again, the Mutants are forced to try to live in a world that hates and fears them. As their final act, the Quiet Council of Krakoa declares that any remaining Mutants must go to ground until a plan can be formulated for their people. Hide. Survive.

    The X-Men determine that they will be high profile targets for Trask and DMR, and therefore must not only hide, but must go places that no one would ever think to look for them.

    Which is how Emma Frost, the White Queen, wearing all of her Hellfire finery, finds herself knocking at the door of Peter Parker's shabby little apartment.

    Summary

    Jean Grey is nine years old and running out of road. Peter Parker is nine years old and just wants to skateboard in the snow. Neither of them is supposed to be in that park. Neither of them is supposed to matter to the other. They do anyway.
