It’s sad but the best version of Peter Parker to me (probably because it’s the most relatable one) is when he’s broke as hell, but at a certain point it doesn’t make sense for him to be such a genius without running a tech company, so here’s the bs reasons he’s still broke in the au’s I imagine:
He can’t partner up with anyone because everyone knows what happened with Dr. Connors, Dr. Octavius, and, depending on the au, Norman Osborn, which no one thinks Norman was working with Peter, but he is another person who knew Peter and became a supervillain
Essentially, everyone thinks he’s cursed™️
And he can’t sell any of his inventions on his own to start funding his own company because S.H.I.E.L.D. keeps getting involved and stopping it, both because whatever he creates works way too well and they don’t want it to fall into the wrong hands, and also because they’re all pretty sure that Peter’s gonna turn into a supervillain and they’re trying to stop him from gaining any power to do so
Also, because of all the above reasons, and because the best Peter Parker in my opinion is one that’s tired, snarky, and has a bit of an anger problem, that along with his genius, accidentally has everyone convinced he’s a supervillain in the making, the very specific dynamic that I picture Reed Richards having with him before he finds out he’s Spiderman is:

Peter Parker reminds him of Dr. Doom, he’s got the smarts, the anger, he’s a loner, and the way he commiserates on everything stopping him from achieving his goals (that famous way he blames his Parker luck on everything), just all reminds him of Victor, back when they attended college together
So he doesn’t get Peter to work with him, although he’d make such a promising mentee, cause he doesn’t need to accidentally get another supervillain to declare war on him, but also because he reminds him of Victor he can’t stay away, wanting some version of him to “see the light”
So occasionally he’ll begrudgingly team up with Peter Parker and the entire time he’ll awkwardly preach the merits of using science for Good™️ and how following villainy will only leave a person feeling empty inside, as his way of having a second chance at reaching Victor before he becomes Dr. Doom
Peter, meanwhile, has no idea this is how Reed sees their interactions, he’s just so happy whenever he gets a chance to work with one of his science heroes (then his identity eventually gets revealed and Reed has no idea how to view Peter)

so how do you think house & wilson would get engaged?
personally i imagine it’s something they bicker over for awhile. house argues that it’s an unnecessary piece of paper; deep down maybe he’s just worried that some day wilson will grow to hate him for his faults and he’d become another broken marriage for wilson to grieve. wilson makes his pitch that house is worthy of being linked to even if just by a piece of paper and a silver band; that they deserve to be stuck together for as long as they can stand each other because who else could?; that they deserve to be in love without the fear of heartbreak.
and every time, house lets the speech break down the wall that insists he must always be right. secretly maybe he really wants to be wrong because he finds himself drifting off into fantasies of them in a courthouse, just the two of them before a judge assuring one another that they’re not going anywhere. he imagines walking into his office with a ring on his finger and the badly-hidden grins of his department as they spot the symbol for the first time, excited to nag and tease him for having a heart and being in love. and these fantasies make him ache at the idea that he’s depriving wilson—and himself—of this life.
he’s sure when he walks out of the clinic one evening. wilson leans against the car, waiting to drive home together. his face lights up when he sees house, and the latter swears he used to think the whole “feeling like the only two people in a room” thing was bullshit until now.
“hey,” wilson chimes with a smile. “what did you wanna do for dinner? i know we just had chinese the other night, but hear me out–“
“let’s get married.”
wilson’s eyebrows pop up in question. “that’s… what you wanna do for dinner?”
house cracks a soft, humorous smile. “i’m serious.”
“okay.” wilson beams and steps closer to him. “let’s get married.”
anyway that’s just my thoughts. hbu?

“Jabitha endgame. Just like I knew we would be.”
“Is that what we’re calling ourselves now? Jabitha?” Jughead teases, giving her a wide smile.
She returns a grin. “It was either that or Tughead, so take your pick.”
He winces, then gives her another kiss. “Jabitha is definitely the better ship name.”

The idea of Morpheus being the pregnant one in mpreg fics is so fucking funny to me. Imagine all the horrifying ways that could affect the Dreaming. Morpheus is already a moody bitch. Add pregnancy mood swings to the mix? Every denizen of the Dreaming is praying to any god listening that his pregnancy is as short as Lyta’s after like the third natural not natural (cuz it’s the dreaming could be a sharknado could be raining eye balls) disaster.
