Summary

“That was a disaster. The press is having a field day.”“It wasn’t my fault,” Tony defends. “That Spider-Guy never knows when to shut up. He distracted me.”“Your reputation took a blow,” Pepper tells him. “Which will be fixed, of course. I’ve already set it up.”“Set what up? What, am I going to make flower arrangements with the elderly?”Pepper slides a piece of paper towards him. “Try an orphan. His name is Peter Parker. His biggest dream is to meet you. But…” She hesitates.“But?”“Apparently he doesn’t talk much. Sometimes not at all. Trauma-related.”“A smart kid who doesn’t talk? Perfect combination. If only all my employees were like that.”---Or: Between Peter Parker barely speaking, and Spider-Man being the ultimate chatterbox, how was Tony ever supposed to figure out that they were one and the same person?

Holy Canada I did not know this was the fic I needed until I saw it. This is so so good, and I am stoked to read more! Please please please update soon. Please. I beg you. The characterizations are amazing and I am so excited to see the direction this takes. If you don't mind me asking, does Peter sign at all? Can the Scarlett Witch read Peter's mind and find out his secret? Or is she polite and asks before using her telepathy?

This is adorable! Tony is already becoming IronDad! Can you write Peter interacting with Pepper and the other Avengers?

—“Fair enough. At least you’re honest.” Tony picks up the tracker. “Hmmm. You know what, maybe I’ll rethink this. If I use a really small tracker, I bet I could get away with it. And it’ll definitely be effective. Thanks, kid. If this works, I’ll buy you a beer. Oh, shit, no. I’ll buy you a lemonade, I guess.”Peter smiles.—Pfft I see what you mean about him being a little shit. He’s a major shit ahahahaI. Love. This. So. Much.

I like the premise of the fic, but I have to ask:"Peter nods, holding two fingers up in a peace sign, like a Chinese schoolgirl posing for a holiday snapshot. Tony snorts."Is there a reason you specified that the pose is a "Chinese schoolgirl" pose? It sounds stereotypical and in my experience it's not something Chinese schoolgirls are known for? I'm a little confused,,,
