Narrator's POV
Tony paced back and forth in the room.
It'd been two hours since they had taken Peter.
Stephen and Oliver sat on the couch, watching Tony go back and forth.
"Tony, please come sit. You've been going around in circles for two hours. You must be ti-"
A small crack formed at the door.
Tony and Stephen's attention was totally taken by the door. Tony stood frozen in his tracks. Stephen stood up.
The door opened a little more. Bare feet stepped into the room, followed by four little black wheels.
Peter stood at the doorway, in his hospital gown. He was holding an IV stand in his left hand, rolling it into the room as he stepped in.
He saw his family.
"Peter!" Oliver ran over to him and wrapped his arms around him.
"Oh." Peter groaned a little, he chuckled afterward. "Hey bud." He smiled and held his brother close with one hand. He looked up at his dads.
Tony kept his gaze on him. He was so relived. Pools of tears formed in his eyes, threatening to unleash a sea of tears. A small smile formed on his lips. Peter smiled back him.

"I don't understand. Peter you had been in a coma for six weeks. Most people wake up at two or four, but six? There's a low percentage of people who wake up after six weeks." Stephen said, looking at Peter's arms, examining his veins.
"Well, I don't know how I did it Doctor Dad." Peter chuckled nervously.
"I'm here! I'm here!" Wade busted through the door.
Peter's gaze shot at the opened door. Wade stood there. "Wade?" Peter asked. A small smile formed on his lips.
Wade looked at Peter. The expression on his face softened. He sighed, a relived, happy sigh. "Petey!" He went over to his bed side and covered him in kisses. "I came as soon as I heard."

"W-Wade." Peter laughed a little. "My dads are watching." He said.
Wade pulled away and looked at Peter. "I don't care. I was so scared." Wade took Peter's face in his hands. "I was afraid I'd lost you forever."
"Well, I'm here now." Peter smiled.
Wade put his forehead to Peter's and sighed. He closed his eyes. "Please don't do that again."
Peter held Wade close in his arms. "I promise." He smiled.
Tony and Stephen stared at their son and his unapproved (according to Tony) boyfriend and smiled.
Oliver looked at his dads, then at Peter and Wade. "Peter..." He said.
Peter turned to Oliver. He had his arms up, pouting a little; waiting to be picked up. Peter smiled. "Come here Oliver." Peter tried picking him up, but it hurt.
"Careful." Tony said.
"Here, let me." Wade picked Oliver up and placed him on the bed.
"I missed you Peter." Oliver said, looking up his brother.
Peter pulled him a little closer to him. "Me too Oliver." He smiled.
Hurried steps filled the hallway and more people filled the room. Peter looked up.
Ned, Mj, and Harry stood at the doorway. A huge smile plastered in each one of their faces. Peter gave them a small wave accompanied by a small smile. Ned had a huge muffin basket in his hands.
"Peter!" Ned smiled.

"Oh." Peter moaned. He blinked once or twice before he recognized the ceiling above him. He knew it was his ceiling. He was home. He sat up. "Huh?" He saw a lot of people standing all around him.
"Peter!" Came Thor's voice. Peter was taken into his arms. "I missed you so much! I thought you were dead." Thor said.

"T-Thanks Uncle Thor." Peter groaned. Thor was crushing him. "Uh..." He said.
"Thor, you're crushing him." Loki said.
"Oh. Right." Thor put Peter down. "Forgot how weak you mortals are." Thor said.
"Not as weak as you think." Suddenly Clint's voice entered the room. Everyone turned to him. "Sorry I'm late. I was picking up a gift for this kid." Clint said. He walked over to Peter's bed side with a small gift box. "Happy late birthday kid." He said.
"Oh. Thank you Mr. Barton." Peter gave him a smile. Clint winked at him. Peter opened the box. "Wow. How did you know?" He asked as he pulled out some mixture of vibranium/steel alloy.
"I was a nerd once too." Clint said.
"Wow Clint. Where did you get this?" Steve asked, looking at the shiny element.
"Let's just say it was very hard to get." Clint said.
"Thank you so much." Peter smiled at Clint again.
"We're really happy that you're okay Peter." Vision said.
"We were all worried about you." Wanda said, next to him.
"It was very hard for us to see you lying in that hospital bed." Natasha told him.
"Wait. So all of you came to see me?" Peter asked. The whole Avengers team looked at him. "Wow, you guys really care about me?"
"We all do." Answered Bruce. "We're all a family here Peter, and you're part of this family. We watch out for each other, we've got one another. If one of us is in trouble, we will come to aid. In this case, we couldn't really do anything..." Bruce said. "But we came and visited you, wishing you return to us safe and sound."
"We're all a family." Wanda said. She looked over at Stephen and Tony.
"Wow. Thank you guys." Peter said.
"Alright. Group hug!" Thor pulled everyone into a tight embrace around Peter. "Oh yes. I can feel the love we all share in our hearts for the young boy."
"You are crushing me brother." Loki groaned.
"Oh. So you really are here." Thor said, looking at Loki.
"Of course. I wouldn't miss Peter's homecoming for anything." Loki smiled at Peter.
"Whoa." Everyone backed up when something pushed through them and held Peter protectively. It was Levi.
"What is-"
"It's okay. It's just Levi." Peter explained. "He's very protective." Peter said. "It's okay bud, they're all my friends."

Blank: a Story of Good Intentions
Many Millennia ago in a time of peace and innovation, a disaster of epic proportions, known as the Great Reverse, ravaged the world.

Under the mysterious circumstances, they reclaimed an ability that was once long lost to them, the restored ability to wield magic. Thus a period of great prosperity and enlightenment swept over the world. With the help of magic, humanity reclaimed its throne above the world's other inhabitants and created civilizations almost as grand and extravagant as the kingdoms and republics of the past. But with every piece of innovation, arises a piece of chaos. The Great Reverse gave rise to horrendous and terrifying creatures. Not much is known about them, because their very nature makes them hard to study. It is believed that they arise from human turmoil itself. They have tangible bodies, but they're mercurial and erratic. Additionally their sole purpose of life is to instill despair within the world. They are those who walk through the night with no soul, no heat, no individual thought. The story follows siblings Tom and Sally Blanc, who train to become slayers, or 'Knights' and quickly learn the hardships of their line of work.

Wolf's Oath Book 1: Oath Sworn
In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants. Lian Kynsei’s arrival upends Aralt’s life, but there is nothing he can do about it. Oath-bound to Lian, the last of a priestly clan, he is now defender of the scion of a faith he no longer shares. But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz

For King and Kin: A Fox's Journey
Two fox-kin siblings set out to serve a human king, hoping to secure ties with the royals that had formed in times of war. Yet, much is demanded of them as their father's reputation precedes them. They find the King struggling to keep his vassals from breaking the terms of the armistice. With reports of smuggling increasing and the nation's strategic resources at stake, their father is sent to oversee the border. The king, fearing for his own children, hopes for six more months. Meanwhile, tavern brawls turn bloody as a cry spreads across the land, "Loyalty? Or bread!". What to expect: - cold steel weapons with magic- colonial-esque era- elements of strategy (including logistics)- powerful mages that can't block a crossbow bolt. Except for some earth mages.- realistic depictions of violence. I don't care to focus on it. - other races introduced eventually, if they fit. - Australian english, except when I slip. Not much slang though, I reckon.
