    Summary

    He could not, she realised, drag an unwilling bride to the altar, but if he succeeded in transporting her all the way to Dijon she felt that she would be then in so much worse a predicament that marriage with him would be the only thing left to her.

    In Paris the quarrel between Mr Comyn and Miss Marling reaches a much more satisfactory conclusion. With no preux chevalier to offer her his hand in marriage, Miss Challoner does not succeed in preventing Lord Vidal from carrying her off to Dijon.

    Summary

    “Where’s Happy?” Morgan asked after a minute or two, determinedly moping out the window.
    “He’s got the flu,” Peter said slowly, still turning the puzzle over in his head. “Didn’t you get your dad’s text?”
    “I didn’t look.” She shifted. “Why’d he send you?”
    The accusation in the question stung. He’d spent over a decade as the object of Morgan’s blind affection. Losing it now, without any warning and no explanation, made his whole perspective shift off-kilter.

    --
    Or, Morgan's angry with Peter, Peter's oblivious, and Tony's self-sacrificial streak goes a little too far.

    Summary

    Peter is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Or more literally, he's stuck between the will of ten other teenagers and the knowledge that if anyone finds out he's living with the Avengers he can kiss his normal high school life goodbye. Can he keep it a secret from his classmates that he's living with the world's loudest superheroes? And can he keep it a secret from the Avengers that he's accidentally bringing his classmates home for a field trip?

    And once he starts hiding things, keeping secrets, and lying, will he be able to stop?

    And even more importantly: will Ned be able to keep his mouth shut long enough for Peter's secrets to stay a secret?

    At least MJ can be trusted to keep a lid on things

    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.
