Peter suffering from amnesia

Broken Thoughts (I Remember Everything) by blackwatchandromeda

“Peter, who am I?“He hesitates. “I’m sorry. I… I don’t know.” -Peter Parker has been missing for thirty-six days. When Tony Stark finally finds him, he’s wandering around New York with no memories, unaware of where and who he is. The missing month is a mystery, and nobody knows what happened to him - least of all the kid himself.Peter, meanwhile, is trying to piece together who he was. What doesn’t help is the big secret he’s sure Tony is keeping from him, or the way the man is avoiding him.Nobody notices how the missing month is catching up to them until everything goes wrong. -(Not Infinity War compliant, but takes place after Civil War.)

Peter’s head snapped back to face him and he winced. “I-I’m sorry, sir. I don’t know…” He looked around the room helplessly. “I don’t know what’s going on.”Tony was almost too afraid to ask, “What was the last thing you remember?”Peter closed his eyes, thinking for a brief moment before he opened them again and answered, “Ice cream. My mom and dad were taking me out to get ice cream.”Now it was Tony’s turn to be scared. “Pete…do you know what year it is?” “Of course. It’s 2009.”

“Glad you’re back,” he smiles, and Peter can see the raw relief in it.My kid.Oh, of course. That’s his dad.“ or:After a particularly bad injury, Peter wakes up in a hospital room with a blank mind.He’s lost and confused until a man steps in, ruffles his hair and smiles gently.He immediately guesses that’s his father, obviously. He’s not stupid.

The Curly-Haired Boy In The Paper by agib 

When Tony sees the blurry, grey scale photograph of someone he thought he had lost years ago, he follows the trail to a newspaper company, to a hospital, to an adoption agency, to the police station and finally to May Parker’s house.

In The Woods Somewhere by iamq

Re-write of “The Rituals of You and Me”.Tony Stark finds HYDRA’s latest weapon in the cold Russian woods, half starved and frozen near to death. Tony Stark adopts HYDRA’s latest weapon and takes him to the New York concrete jungle, makes him a home, and gives him a family.

When the day’s over, will you remember me? by Webtrinsic

June 20, 2016 had been the day his son had been taken. Tortured. Hit over the head one to many times, and everyday now. It was June 20th. It’d always be that day to him, and Tony knew it’d always be his fault.

Retrograde by madasthesea

Prompt: what about the remember me one? seen a lot of fics with peter getting amnesia but never one of tony forgetting anything? could be a nice switch to see how peter would deal with that + tony trying to figure out how he went from a wild playboy to a supposed superhero with a teenager.  Tony gets amnesia. When Peter comes to visit him in the hospital, Tony takes one look at him and immediately assumes that Peter’s his son.

Tabula Rasa by PinkEasterEggs

“Tony,” the blonde sighed his name, as if it were a prayer. “Thank God you’re okay. We were worried for a second.”Tony frowned, staring at the hand holding his own. What was going on?“I’m sorry,” the teenage boy sniffed, eyes pooling with tears as he stared down at Tony with such a sorry expression that the genius wondered if he was meant to actually feel bad for this kid.“Peter,” the blonde man gave the teenager a look. It was clear they’d had this conversation a million times. “What have i said? It wasn’t your fault; Dad doesn’t blame you— right Tony?”Tony cleared his throat, both pairs of blue and brown eyes getting brought back to him. “Okay, this has been fun but who the hell are you?”When a mission goes wrong, Tony gets hurt and loses his memory. The last 25 years is wiped from his mind and he wakes up in a 47 year old body with a 22 year old mind. Apparently he has a family now?

Don’t Let it Make You Cry by amine

”‘And who are you?‘Peter recoiled, stunned by the harsh unfamiliarity of those words. God, did that hurt. He was so used to being greeted with a warm ‘hey, kid!’ and an arm around his shoulders that tears nearly sprung to his eyes at seeing and hearing for himself that Tony really did not remember them.“

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

SURPRISE BITCH Revealed

IT SEEMS FAKE BUT OKAY/HA ACTUALLY FUNNY BUT I DON’T WANT TO LAUGH OUT LOUD Scoffed Snickered Snorted

BITCHY Tattled Taunted Teased

Shaggy leans back against the seat of the van. The small box in his lap feels like it carries the weight of the sky, but he wouldn’t let go. No matter what.

The lanky teen gently rubs his finger over top of the silver box. “Scoob... I- I love you buddy.”

He can’t stop the tears. He doesn’t want to. He wants to scream and throw things because it’s not fair. Why Scoob? Why his best friend?

His sobs turn into into choked puffs of air. Shaggy had told the other to leave him be. The gang wasn’t the same without Scoob.

Shaggy sniffles, but furrows his brow as an uneasy feeling grows in his stomach. The air around him grows heavy. His eyes snap up to the back doors of the van as an eerie red glow shines through.

The doors suddenly fly open.

“Hey-Ho, Kermit the frog here. Shagg, it’s time.”

The teen glares daggers at the figure before him.

“Like.. Kermit, man. Now isn’t a good time.”

The muppet pulls down his dark cloak, revealing his sinister smile. “On the contrary, now is a perfect time.”

The scruffy teen turns his head away, clutching the silver box close to his chest. “I promised to like.. never use my power for evil man.”

Kermit just chuckles. “That’s what Mickey said too. And ah, look where he’s at.”

Shaggy remains silent. He looks down at the box in his arms as his breaths start to grow ragged.

The frog enters the van slowly and places a hand on Shaggy’s shoulder. “I’ll tell you a secret Shagg. Everything I do, it’s for Miss Piggy. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her.”

The teen continues to remain silent, so Kermit leans closer. “Don’t you want to avenge Scooby-Doo? Get back at that man who took him away.”

Shaggy thinks for a moment, then his eyes harden in determination. “Like... yeah man. You’re right.” He opens the silver box and pulls out Scooby’s collar.

He clenches the collar as his eyes begin to glow. The van starts shaking, pulses of light shooting out from around the lanky teen. His eyes go completely green as he surges to 1% of his power. “I will find you Scooby. And then I’ll kill the man who took you from me.”

The rest of the gang watches in horror from just outside the van. Their eyes trained on the glowing figure that blows a hole through the top of their van. They’re transfixed. And they completely miss the small shadowy green figure that slinks away.

I’ve done it. I’ve found my type. Shaggy haired men with emotional issues being drawn to the dark side in a vulnerable state. I’ve found my favorite media. I’ve moved past the need to watch content I like I shall now m a k e.

Yeeteth

that same anon just sent me ketchup 15 times what did i do to deserve this

D:

you ever see a post that just fucks you up a little?

A backstory is one of the essential parts of a character. It dictates the character’s mindset, place in the world and their subsequent arc throughout a story. A character’s backstory is the key for opening the vault of character options, ideas and journeys. The reason for this principle is due to cause and effect. It is the answer for why your characters act and think a certain way. For example, Bruce Wayne doesn’t become Batman just because he wants to. He becomes Batman because of his parents death. He wants to make sure that no other child in Gotham will suffer the same traumatic event he did, so he then becomes Batman. This character is an excellent example of using backstory in writing since it uses the cause and effect method.

What is Backstory

As I said before, backstory should be about explaining how your character got into their specific state at the beginning of the story. It is merely answering the subconscious questions in a reader’s mind. Why are they acting like this? Why do they want this goal? How did they get to that specific mindset? It is a device to give a character history, so it is not like they appear out of nowhere for this particular story, but rather, they were a person all along. This principle makes a character a real person with depth and breadth.

Why is Backstory Important

Backstory is one of the key features of any character, and it should not be ignored. Backstory does not need to complicated but rather a simple explanation. A character might be struggling with parenthood. Their backstory is that they had a rough childhood that damaged the way they seek familial relationships. There. Done. All backstory needs to do is show how a character’s past has shaped their present. Not only this but backstory paves the road for character development. Backstory can provide the lie your character believes or the moral belief that holds them back from being the best that they can be. It will give you the foundations and beginnings of character development.

How to Communicate Backstory

Since backstory is events that take place in the past and not directly in the narrative, it is sometimes hard to tell your audience about it without having lengthy exposition. It is crucial to make sure that backstory isn’t revealed without context. It would make no sense for a character to start monologuing about how his parents died, and how he must avenge them when he is eating breakfast. Moreover, by pacing the release of your character’s backstory, it gives them more mystery and suspense. There are several different ways to communicate backstory while keeping suspense. You can use diary entries to communicate backstory. This concept usually has a story in a story principal and shows readers a deeper, more raw version of a character. Another way you can communicate backstory is through flashbacks or dream sequences. It is important that these sequences don’t come out of anywhere but have a believable trigger. For example, if a character is in a situation which has a similarity in their backstory, you would explore that.
