Fics like What Slips Through the Cracks

Peter loses things all the time. It’s the way of things, it’s normal, it’s what children do. A pencil here, a book there, a balloon snatched away by the wind. He starts attending Midtown Prep, the school for budding genius, and still he loses things. They slip through his fingers and out of his mind like they never existed, school papers and bags of candy, his glasses one morning, his phone the next. But that’s okay, it’s normal to lose things, it’s what teenagers do. There’s a crack in his wall. It’s been there for some time, and for some time, things in Peter’s life have been slowly slipping away. Slipping through the cracks, and that’s normal, because things do that and it happens to everyone, everyone loses things, even people whose cracks are more metaphorical than literal. It's only when he has lost his parents, and his uncle, and any hope of a normal life, that he realizes what he should have seen all along. Peter Parker's life doesn't make any sense, and it hasn't for a very, very long time.
