《To Be A Dad (Irondad and Spiderson)》6:Birthday
Advertisement
Tony couldn't believe that his son was now a year old. A whole year! And Peter had only been with him for a couple of months. 3 months to be exact. In May he got the best birthday present ever, which was Peter, and now Tony had to return the favor. It was a huge deal to Tony because he never had a true birthday party and he was determined to give Peter the best first birthday ever. So him, Rhodey, and Pepper made some pasta and had Happy pick up a cake.
Peter usually clung to Tony while he tried to help in the kitchen. The father didn't mind, just picked him up when he wasn't helping and gave him kisses and hugs. Peter would giggle and try to talk to them, mostly just babble and trying to get their attention. Rhodey would mostly talk to him, entertained by the 'talkative' boy.
Tony was pleased that his son was healthy and happy for his first birthday. Peter had really wiggled his way into his life and Tony enjoyed coming home to his bubbly little boy. He was surprised that Obie hadn't figured it out. Hell Tony sometimes buys toys for Peter when he's at a store or on a business trip, and Obie doesn't question it.
The father didn't mind, the longer he kept Stane out of the picture the better. "Daddy!" Peter called out as Tony grabbed some plates. Tony smiled down at peter.
"What is it, Tesoro," Tony asked as he set down the plates and crouched down to Peter. The one-year-old just reached up to him, and Tony just smiled and picked him, holding him with one arm and setting the table with the other.
"Elmo," Peter spoke as he pointed to the Elmo balloon the billionaire had gotten him. Tony smiled and nodded, of course, Peter would know the stupid red furball. Peter so far knew four words, and the four were, Jar for JARVIS, Ro for Rhodey, Daddy of course for Tony and Elmo.

Pepper and Happy, were a bit sad that they weren't in Peter's vocabulary but were glad he was talking. Peter seemed to love all of them, getting excited when he would see them and loved getting hugs from all of them. Although the clear favorite was JARVIS.
Anytime the AI spoke the baby would cheer and giggle, speaking up to the ceiling in order to hear him again. JARVIS loved talking to him and Tony caught the AI speaking to his son more than once. Somehow J learned how to baby talk.
"Alright is everything ready?" Tony asked as he walked back to the kitchen. Pepper nodded, taking Peter from him and kissing his cheek. "Let's eat!" They all sat down, Peter being placed in a highchair next to Tony, a small plate of spaghetti was placed in front of him. Pepper sat across from Tony as Rhodey sat on the other side of him and Happy across from him.
The night was filled with laughter and Tony imagined this is what family looked like. Just a night with people you care about and a feeling of safety and happiness fill your chest. Tony hoped that this is what family felt like.
By the time they finished Peter had tomato sauce all over him but was grinning and laughing. Tony took charge of cleaning him while Happy set up the cake with Pepper's help. Soon they all had their phones out and we're singing while Peter stared at the candles in amazement.
"Okay Pete, make a wish!" Happy smiled as Peter tilted his head in a confused like manner.
"You can do it, Cucciolo." Tony encouraged his son and gently blew on the candles so Peter got the point. Peter did, being the little genius he is, and blew on the candles. Of course, he didn't blow them out by himself but Rhodey helped, and together they blew out the candles.

The adults cheered as Peter clapped, giggling at the attention. Peter loved the cake, grabbing handfuls of the chocolate cake. Blue frosting was sneered all over his face, but Tony didn't care. All he cared about was the bright smile on Peter's face.
After cleaning him up for the second time, they decide to open presents. Peter enjoyed ripping the bright colored wrapping paper but would hug the soft stuff animals he found in them. Tony had gotten him an Elmo plushie and Peter loved the thing. He didn't even want to open the other presents afterward.
Tony laughed and gently took away the toy and placed another neatly wrapped gift in front of him. Peter loved all the toys he got and by the end, he fell asleep surrounded by them.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.

Liber Nominum Universalia
In this world there are things and beings who roam freely in the corners of our visions and places where the light of the sun and moon do not reach. There are things that raindrops have never touched, lands where humans may rarely set foot. And there are those whose names have been forgotten. Maeno Ayumu wanted to be one of the majority who lived without the knowledge of such things. But one summer, a pocketbook and a black cat opened the doors to the Other Side- doors he could no longer keep locked. And thus begins his journey towards learning forgotten names and forging unlikely bonds, so that those who live in darkness may never fade forgotten. Cover picture taken by Julissa Helmuth
