A Dream that Never Died

Peter didn’t remember much of it; his brain mainly had shut it out, locking the memory away in a drawer that gathered dust and was never to be opened again. But from what little he did remember, he knew it was bad. In his nightmares, he still heard his trainers yelling at him to push harder, push faster, to beat the clock.

The last thing he remembered was the odd shrieking sound that he now knew had come from his horse before it all faded to black.

Or

Peter Parker grew up with horses, in a world where Ben and May could afford that for him. One day and two accidents took that all away from him. But someone else might be able to give that back to him.

Non-superhero AU.
