Mental health, which might be triggering for some, is the main theme in the story.
The author does well to include trigger warnings.

The author explores friendship, family, and slow-burning love in this relatable story.
6. It’s a Secret To Everybody
Peter Parker, who’s spending his summer break at the Tower, and The Avengers are back at Avengers Tower.
The Avengers aren’t buying the ‘Personal Intern’ story.
Tony and Peter need a ruse to protect Peter’s identity as Spiderman.
The Avengers think Peter is Tony’s secret love son, so the two decide to play along.
It turns out it’s not a tiresome story for the duo to play.
The emotions between the two have grown strong, and they have a whole summer to keep this secret.
7. The Ghost Of Heroes
There’s a dragon leading a ghost infestation in Manhattan, home of the Avengers.
With refugees from Asgard in tow, the Avengers are back.
But not without unspoken tension still brewing among them.
It’s another crappy Thursday according to Peter, so no wonder the ghosts chose today to show up.
Almost all Avenger weapons are useless against the intruders.
Spiderman notices that they are being helped by a teenage ghost, Danny Phantom.
(If you want to read about some of the most popular Danny Phantom fanfic, check it out here.)
Danny may have as much magic as Loki, Dr. Strange, and Wanda, but he also has tons of ghost technology for the Avengers.
Alongside his weapons, he possesses a sassy mouth full of puns making him a blast to be around.
And like every teenager, following instructions doesn’t seem to be his thing.
I guess the afterlife doesn’t take much away from teenage sass.
Despite Danny’s help, the Avengers aren’t very welcoming.
Before he leaves, he drops hints about the afterlife and promises to hang out with Spiderman soon.
I guess it’s a typical Manhattan Thursday.
8. The Avengers Vs The Peter Factor
Teenagers are often nobody’s favorite for obvious reasons.
Still, in this story, we see Peter Parker spin his way into the hearts of the Avengers, starting with Tony Stark.
With some of your favorite superheroes going “rogue,” the Avengers have grown apart.
Peter Parker comes to the rescue, saving Tony from spiraling.
With a little help from those closest to Tony, Peter brings joy back to our Ironman.
Not only does Peter have Tony webbed in, but the robots in Tony’s lab also seem to be developing some emotion toward Peter too.
Teenagers might not be so annoying after all, if the great Avengers can get themselves swooned by Spiderman.
9. That Awkward Moment When Your Whole Class Shows Up At Your House
Being able to skip school and not get caught is any teenager’s dream, but not Peters.
After stumbling on one of the most armed drug factories in New York on a solo investigation.
Peter Parker has no choice but to stay home and for legitimate reasons.
Sporting a broken ankle, five broken ribs, and a bullet wound, school isn’t an option for the next few weeks.
After losing their house in a fight, Peter and Aunt May are staying over at the Stark Tower.
Peter needs about two weeks to heal completely and he even gets to have his chemistry test moved to a later date.
Living with Tony aka Ironman sure has its perks.
It’s all fun until he has all his classmates showing up at the Stark Tour and not to pay Peter a visit.
The class had planned a school trip to visit the famous Avengers Tower, which turns out to be Parker’s home now.
Could things get any more awkward?
10. The Darkest Hour Is Just Before The Dawn
Who knew ice cream could cause death?
Aunt May didn’t, nor did Peter.
Peter Parker, suffering from nightmares, falls asleep waiting for Aunt May to return.
She had gone out for some comfort ice cream.
The only thing is, instead of ice cream, Peter gets the ice-cold news that his aunt is dead.
Peter now has to fight social services, be Spiderman and still save Manhattan all as a minor.
Soon Tony Stark comes for him.
After spending days in bed, mourning and crying himself to sleep, they buried Aunt May.
The nightmares don’t stop, but Tony is there all the way.
Peter meets the Avengers.
Living and training with them might be what Peter needs.
Even though the future isn’t certain for Peter, there might be a light at the end of this tunnel.
