I Am Folded, and Unfolded, and Unfolding

There’s a moment before the end where you just know. It’s after the storm, when the dust begins to settle. Metaphorical dust, literal dust; well, in this case literal; it doesn’t matter when you know that this is the end of the line. After the events of Civil War, the Avengers work out their issues together, make amends, and create accords that everyone can agree to.Peter Parker learns what it really means to be a hero at age 15, and spends the next year-and-a-half of his vigilante life finding a family in a team that just might be as broken as he is.Then Thanos comes and demolishes everything they built together. The Avengers are gone in seconds as the wind carries the dust away.But the thing is, Peter was never an avenger, was he.Well, what doesn't kill you gives you nightmares, sixteen bottles of Ibuprofen, and a broken heart.(read notes)

Here's the rough timeline for this fic, based on when the movies take place:- Spring 2016: Civil War- Summer 2016: The Avengers get back together.- Fall 2016: Homecoming, the Avengers move to the compound upstate, Peter saves the plane and Tony offers him a spot on the team that he turns down. Tony and Peter start lab days and Peter starts getting to know the Avengers and even goes on missions with them.- Late Spring 2018: Thanos comes to Earth, the team is separated like they are in the movie. Thanos snaps and only dusts the official Avengers, and disappears to the other side of the universe.- Spring 2019: Peter is forced to stop being Spider-Man because of his declining physical and mental health.- Fall 2021: Stephen Strange recruits a 20-year-old Peter Parker, and others, to bring back the rest of the Avengers. My tumblr url: jpluvbug
