My Least And Most Favorite Irondad Spiderson Tropes
Favorite Irondad Spiderson Fanfiction Tropes
Anorexic Peter/Peter with an eating disorder- I read this really cool one, I don’t remember the name or the author, but inside of it, Peter was purging himself and he wouldn’t eat anything with bread for some reason. Tony finds out because Peter passes out while going on a run.
Abusive partner/Guardian- My absolute two favorites of these fics are “Please Understand” by Jipseebree and “Hindsight,” by elphreak they are masterpieces. I originally read those like five years ago, and I recently read them again. I really recommend them if they also like that trope.
Caring for the other person after a bad fight- I don’t really have any recommendations for this one, but I do really like this trope. It’s always so heartwarming.
Sickfic- I love this one. Especially when Tony gets called to Peter’s school to pick him up.
Cuddles- Literally what I live for. It’s so cute, especially if they’re watching movies together.
Intoxicated Peter/Tony- I read one of these where Peter gets intoxicated on a roof and tries to jump off it, but Tony stops him.
Peter being scared and confused in hospital- I don’t know any good ones for this one either, but I’ve read so many of these and they’re so good. I remember reading one a while back where Peter ends up ripping the IV’s out of himself while trying to run away.
Concussions- There aren’t many of these and I wish there were more. I love this one, especially when Peter confuses Tony with his Uncle Ben and he has a breakdown.
One of Tony’s suits gets hacked- I read one, I think it was called “Taxi” where Tony’s suit gets hacked and Tony has to watch the suit beat up Peter.
Peter staying at the lakehouse with the Stark family to deal with something traumatic (ex. After Far From Home, After May dies, Bad time settling in college ect.)- I also love these. I read one where Peter comes to stay with Tony after Far From Home and Tony has to remind Peter every few minutes that he’s not in an illusion or else Peter has a breakdown.
Torture fics- I’m reading this one called “Someday (I’ll make it out of here)” by the-color-pomegranet. It is literally the best torture fic I’ve read. It’s like forty something chapters, but I promise it’s worth it.
The Avengers make fun of Peter and Tony gets angry at them- I read one of these where they make fun of Peter for not knowing how to shave and so Peter tries to shave on his own. He ends up cutting himself and so Tony steps in and shows him how to shave.
Baby Peter- I would like them if they all weren’t written similar with Peter doing something that normal Peter does all the time, but Tony is scared about bc he’s a baby, like Peter crawling on the ceiling and Tony trying to get him down in fear of him getting hurt
Field Trip/Peter’s friends meeting Tony- I used to like this trope, but I feel like it’s been a bit overdone. I also honestly think if Peter actually visited the Tower/Compound with his class or friends, Tony and the other Avengers would just treat Peter like another kid visiting the tower/compound in fear of giving away his identity.
Movie Night with Avengers- I also feel like this trope has also been overdone and they all are similar. It’s just the Avengers cooing over Peter or telling Tony he’s such a dad and in these fics in particular, Tony always ends up having custom made pajamas for him and Peter that are Spider-Man or Iron Man onesies.
Harley and Peter being siblings- I honestly don’t know why I don’t like this one. I have a similar opinion on the fics with Nebula or Wanda being his older sisters. I think it’s just bc I feel like those characters wouldn’t get along with Peter’s bubbly additude. Harley is usually written as a grudge emo boy, Nebula is really cold, and Wanda is always in a sad depressed mood in the most recent movies. Like I could see Peter and Morgan getting along bc they have similar bubbly personalities.
Fics that take place during olden times- I don’t really like these ones, like the medieval, old wild west, and just writing them in the past. I feel like it takes away from their characters. Especially with Tony since his whole personality is based around him being a genius with futuristic technology.
