Summary
The last thing he remembers is leaving school. It was a half day, as he’d finished his exams early, texted May about staying over at Ned’s place, sent another text to MJ and then a twitch of his spider senses--Then a pinch at his neck, like a bee sting, but deeper. Darkness. Then here.Huh. Kidnapped. That’s new. If he was less emotionally dead from finals and sleep deprivation, he’d probably have a stronger and much more appropriate reaction to that.At least he's got Captain America and the Winter Soldier to keep him company.

2 months agoHello???? HELLO????? excuse me HELLO!?????Listen I have to be the first to admit and be that person who says “I don’t usually like x but—“ and yet here I am, a clown, saying “I don’t usually like kidnapping fics BUT!!!!”I said it on tumblr and I still wholeheartedly believe it— you’re a master at these kind of intricate plots. I can tell there’s a lot of world to mine from here and I’m so so SO curious to see where you’re gonna take it. Peter wanting to gag at calling Tony dad! Cap being his childhood hero!!!! The spider DNA showing up as cancer sorry can’t hear you IM SCREAMING!!! It’s all so good already and so clever that I just!!! I love references and callbacks and motifs and you’re already setting up so many that I just can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks for sharing!!!

2 months agoAhhhhhh. I have a thing for kidnapped Steve Pete and Bucky. It's my jam!!! Such a creative idea for them to think he has 'cancer'. They weightloss would totally back that up. So excited for more.

2 months agoI LOVE Peter being a sarcastic little shit running off at the mouth - being a smartass is one of his coping mechanisms, and the way he completely picked apart the shabby security system was brilliant!

2 months agoLooooove this!!! Kidnapping fics are my jam and you've included so many interesting elements in this one. I especially love Peter being such a little shit even in a harrowing situation, because he absolutely would be lol. That chapter ending is properly ominous too...Awesome work, I can't wait to see where you take things from here!!!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us <3 <3 <3

2 months ago“First of all, that's very creepy," Peter says. "Also, why did you keep that last one?""It amused me," the man replies smugly.”…..“Wait, you took my blood?" Peter asks. He rolls up the sleeve of his hoodie and finds a thin trickle of dried blood along the inside of his elbow."Yes, obviously,” the man says, exasperated. “We also kidnapped you. Why are you more offended by losing a vial of blood than you are for being kidnapped?”I’m sorry but this is the FUNNIEST thing I’ve ever read. I thought the vibe going in was going to be super serious but I really love how you’ve interjected a lot of levity in this story. Also, kidnappers mistaking Peter as Tony’s actual son? *chefs kiss* Is it bad that I also found the whole “hydra thinks Peter has cancer and is annoyed but it’s really the spider bite” scenario super funny? Because it’s kind of ironically hilarious. And genius, on your part. Although given the ending of this chapter I feel like the next ones gonna have a lot less lightheartedness and a lot more hurt (which I am not complaining about one bit because I’m so excited to see what you do)ALSO ALSO, I LOVE Peter, Bucky, and Steve fics. There’s not enough of them! I really love their dynamic, especially since I feel like Steve and Peter have so much in common. I’m so excited to read the rest!

2 months agoI don’t know how I’m just getting around to this one now, but I’ve been binge-reading as much as I can lately and I already LOVE this SOOOOO MUCH!!!I’m kind of a sucker for fics with Peter meeting Bucky and Steve to begin with — there’s so much untapped potential in those dynamics, shared life experiences and personalities and the MCU has deprived us!! — especially under high-stress scenarios, so I was already excited by the premise, but you have EXCEEDED my wildest expectations!! This is incredibly unique and interesting and it definitely strays away from the typical kinds of tropes we’re used to seeing when it comes to most kidnapping fics; It’s really nothing like I’ve ever read before in a REALLY good way. I loved that Peter’s first emotion upon waking up in a cell between Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers wasn’t horror, shock, confusion or even massive excitement at being in their presence, but rather, I feel awkward. Lmao. Really relatable and I was dying from the start at the strained silence and avoiding eye contact. And your Peter Parker is so CLASSIC and I love that he makes himself as annoying as possible and keeps throwing barbs at his bland and broke captor, because YES that is EXACTLY what Peter Parker would do and I LOVE that!!And to top it off, the fact that Hydra concluded that Peter must be Tony’s child based on their nifty slideshow and his killer wit was massively entertaining to me — especially when Peter admitted to himself that he’d been hanging out with Tony too much — and I loved that it gave Peter an identity crisis to picture himself actually calling Tony “dad,” aloud to his face at the dinner table, HAHA! The image of them competing to see who could jump out the nearest window quickest, while Pepper watches on, SENT me! It nearly wiped me out. It’s funny bc it’s true; they’re both so emotionally constipated. Truly, like father, like son… Are we honestly surprised Hydra would think such a thing?? 😂And THEN the KICKER, that Hydra interpreted Peter’s altered DNA/radioactive blood as an indication that he has advanced, end stage, terminal cancer???? And he has to play the part to protect his identity/let them underestimate him??? WOW. Way to go, that is certainly something I have never seen before and what an interesting, cool and realistic wrench to throw in! Hydra certainly ain’t the smartest and I’m really interesting in seeing how everyone will react when it becomes clear Peter isn’t a kid dying from cancer. Anyway, it was really interesting to see Peter have to hold up this front for his safety, not only to Hydra guy, but to Bucky and Steve, and I kind of want to hug them (AND PETER) for feeling guilty about Germany and him being here now, especially since they think he’s so sick. They’re just the best and they have my heart. :(( <333But AHH!! Now they want to torture Peter!! No way in heck!! I’m equally anxious and excited to read on and see what happens to this trio! Anyway, please forgive my lateness! But your writing is absolutely phenomenal and flawless and I can’t wait to see what happens. :) <333Love,As always,Cass

2 months ago"Peter would lob himself out of the nearest window if he accidentally said it during their weekly dinner and he’s pretty sure Tony would do the same from an opposite window, if only to avoid the awkwardness"This is so accurate and funny 😭😂😂
impersonal_villain
2 months agoreally enjoying this so far !! very suspenseful and mysterious and unique to other stories so far …. i know i’m over a year late but i wanted to point out towards the bottom u say peter needs half as much food as anyone else to make it thru the day when i’m pretty sure u meant twice as much… mental typo perhaps? just pointing it out cuz it reverses meaning!!

2 months agoI never expected anyone to say: “Fuck yeah, cancer.” But if that’s how you keep your identity then sure Peter 🤷♀️😂
CubedMice
2 months agoI mean.. Peter's hearing and other senses are a hell of a lot better than Steve's.. he definitely would have had no trouble hearing that phone call from across an entire building, much less in the same room.
SwordSisters
2 months agoThis is like my third time reading this and "Fuck yeah, cancer" still gets meLike back in highschool my teachers were spreading rumors about me having cancer so me and Peter are shaking hands. I ended up being able to get away with so much shit because of it, so congrats to Peter for taking advantage of the misunderstanding way faster than I did. You're an inspiration to us all
Chapter 1
2 months agoThis was so good! Extremely dynamic prose and great pacing! I absolutely LOVED the “stark’s son with cancer” story hydra goon made up, it was a great little sprinkle of humor for us and edge for the characters. Well written!!
