“I know I’ve told this story before, but my abusive ex refused to let me take birth control. I was on the pill until he found them in my purse. I went to the Student Health Center—they were completely unhelpful, choosing to lecture me about the importance of safe sex (recommending condoms) instead of actually listening to my problem. Then I went to Planned Parenthood. The Nurse Practitioner took one look at my fading bruises and stopped the exam. She called in the doctor. The doctor came in and simply asked me: “Are you ready to leave him?” When I denied that I was being abused, she didn’t argue with me. She just asked me what I needed. I said I need a birth control method that my boyfriend couldn’t detect. She recommended a few options and we decided on Depo. When I told her that my boyfriend read my emails and listened to my phone messages and was known to follow me, she suggested to do the Depo injections at off hours when the clinic was normally closed. She made a note in my chart and instructed the front desk never to leave messages for me—instead, she programmed her personal cell phone number into my phone under the name “Nora”. She told me she would call me to schedule my appointments; she wouldn’t leave a message, but I should call her back when I was able to. And that was it. No judgment. No lecture. She walked me to the door and told me to call her day or night if I needed anything. That she lived 5 blocks from campus and would come get me. That I wasn’t alone. That she just wanted me to be safe. I never called her to come to my rescue. But I have no doubt that she would have come if I had called. She kept me on Depo for a year, giving me those monthly injections in secret, helping me prevent a desperately unwanted pregnancy. I cannot thank Planned Parenthood enough for the work they do.”

I know I’ve reblogged this before, but it bears re-reblogging (?).  This is how you respond to abuse, this is how you give people control over their bodies/uteruses, this is how you act as a generally non-judgmental and compassionate person.  I love this story so fucking much.

To be honest, what hits me the most about the Ant-Man and the Wasp credit scenes is the aftermath shown in the final, second, post-credit scene. The ringing, caution notice on the television sitting abandoned in Scott’s house

Because just imagine Aunt May or Ned staring at their television sets, wondering desperately, frantically, what happened, who did this, what went wrong, where is Peter, where is Peter, where is Peter -

Imagine Pepper sitting back at the compound, trying to call Tony’s suit over and over again, pressing the call button on her phone with a pit in her stomach and dread in her heart, attempting to reach FRIDAY somehow, anyhow, just needing to know where Tony is, if he made it back to Earth, if he’s okay

Imagine Mr. and Mrs. Wilson hearing the broadcast from the other room, running into the living room, trying to contact their son through any phone number possible because they haven’t been able to talk to him in two years but they just need to know if he’s okay, please

And imagine Cassie, and her mother, and her step-father, if they’re even alive at all, running through the chaotic streets after seeing the notice on their televisions, searching Scott’s house up and down, looking and hoping and trying to find him, but they can’t, they can’t, they just can’t

Alexa? Play Lose Yourself By Eminem by losingmymindtonight

“Oh, gosh, I’m so sorry, Mister Stark. I thought that maybe the kids were playing a prank. I’m Rebecca Ascot from Midtown School of Science and Technology. You’re listed as Peter Parker’s secondary emergency contact, and he asked us to call you instead of his aunt, since she’s on shift.”

He stood abruptly, carefully slipping around Morgan’s newest Lego skyscraper and heading down the hall, to the guest room they’d appropriated as Pepper’s office. “Is he alright?”

“He is, but I do need someone to come pick him up. See, we’re having a blood drive, for the Red Cross, and-”

Tony didn’t even try to hide his laughter. “He tried to donate, and he passed out, didn’t he?”

“Uh, yes. How did you-”

“This happens a lot, actually.”

“I wanted to be an astronaut when I was little.” Michelle says.

“Why didn't you?” Peter asks.

“Too much math.” Michelle says, in such a serious voice that Peter snorts. “Hey! The amount of maths required crushed my dreams to get up into space!”

I was wondering if you had any Annie ish fics. Like it’s for publicity but eventually tony loves peter and can’t let him go. Sorta like publicity parent. Love your page!

We made a list like this about a year ago, here’s a link! :) Also, here’s a few more recs.

 Good publicity by Bergen

“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?

 Spidey Tot by Kevy_Grayce

Tony Stark is convinced by his family friend Obadiah Stane to adopt a kid in order to improve the tarnished image of Stark Industries. The media always loves a soft, single dad, so it’s perfect to get the PR they need. Pepper is enraged. Rhodey is disappointed. Happy is confused. All of this, Tony expected.

What he doesn’t expect is to bring home a kind-hearted, intelligent, four-year-old kid named Peter who slowly gets him to come out of his egocentric shell.

Where You Never Would Have Looked by jwriter819

When Tony Stark walked into that diner he knew he was a lot of things. He was a billionaire, a superhero, and very pissed off that he had to wait in line for his coffee.

Gawkers were looking and paparazzi was swirling all around him trying to get pictures. He really wished he’d listened to Pepper and just got another assistant…then he saw him, that adorable little boy with those blue-rimmed glasses kicking his legs and reading the Science Today Magazine.

Or where Peter is a kid during CACW and he meets Peter right after Siberia.

The Captain and His Queen by lynddsbeth

Regina protects Killian from her mother. They realize that they have more in common than they thought and start to fall for each other. Will they be able to forget their need for revenge? Or will life get in the way of their budding relationship?
