Summary: “Oh, God,” he says, his voice almost unintelligible — it sounds like gears grating together, and his right hand presses hard against his throat. His panic over the state of his right eye is dwarfed by the panic that rises in him at the feeling of metal against his throat — metal, instead of the callused skin of his palm. The vitals monitor starts to chime shrilly, his heart rate climbing, as Tony attempts to burrow the fingers of his left hand underneath the panels of the suit gauntlet covering his right arm. Blood streams down the gauntlet as he frantically attempts to wrench his right arm free, the skin and delicate muscles of his fingers shredded by the metal panels. Tony is so intent on removing the gauntlet, sweat beading on his forehead, his teeth gritted together, the whites of his eyes flashing as his eyes roll madly — that he doesn’t feel the pinch of the needle as it is inserted into the base of his neck, the plunger of the syringe is depressed, and Tony falls limply back against the bed.

against all odds, tony stark survives using the infinity stones — but, god, he wishes he hadn't.

In Every Lie, There's a Truth (ao3) - tummyhurtss T, 18k

Summary: A spin on the classic Peter Parker field trip to Stark Industries, only he's not the one trying to hold together a not-so-carefully constructed lie; he's the one trying to expose it.

The elevator dings, and Peter steps out, words already tumbling out of his mouth as he trudges into the penthouse. “Uh, Dad… let’s just say—hypothetically, of course—what do you do when someone in your class is, um, claiming to be you? Or, not you-you, because, y’know, they don’t actually know you exist… Well, they know you exist, but…”

“Pete, buddy, spit it out!” Tony interrupts with a laugh, watching his son stumble through his explanation.

Peter huffs, his backpack dangling from one shoulder as he drops it near the couch. “Okay, fine. There’s this kid at school who’s been going around telling everyone he’s your secret son.”

A quiet voice at the back of his mind, the voice of his mother, had caused him to scribble over ‘no’ until the bottom of the page was almost entirely consumed by ink. Then, his handwriting cramped but legible, Tony had written yes — in case of medical emergencies or death of legal guardian(s).

a drunken dare made six years ago leads to a phone call that changes tony stark's life.

Of course he didn't know that he was the son of one of the most powerful person in the world but whatever. His name is Peter, and Peter is Peter. Thus, calling him 'young master' or 'boss' developed as his peeve.

The Addition of a Variable (ao3) - AliciaMirza pepper/tony T, 34k

Summary: A plus sign – an addition in the equation Tony Stark didn’t plan with, a new variable that just messed up all his previous calculations.

A liquor-filled fun night with his PA, Pepper Potts, has unexpected consequences for one billionaire playboy genius. No matter his brilliance, he wasn’t sure if he had the solution to this equation.

[yes-i-am-happyaspie]

It's been a while since I've had a nice long fic rec list cross my dash so, as my good friend said to me earlier today, I'm going to be the change I want to see.

Anyway, here are some of the in-progress Irondad fics and series been enjoying recently! (in no particular order)

❤ A Secret Or Two by Winterturtle @winter-turtle

Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings || Rated T

A single gunshot was all it took to turn the Parker family's lives upside-down. It's been rough couple of months, but Peter and May were slowly starting to pick up the pieces of their lives. For a moment, it was starting to feel normal again.

That is, until a mysterious man barged into their apartment, leading to a secret or two being revealed about both of them.

Or a (former) Shield agent May Parker fic because I couldn't find this trope anywhere.

❤ 5 times Peter Parker falls asleep in an uncomfortable position by lemonlillybee @lemonlillybee

Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings || Rated T

And 1 time he falls asleep like a normal person

❤ 5 Times Tony Tried to Be a Good Dad by InfinitesimalDna

Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings || Rated M

+1 time he knew he was.

Or, Tony trying to navigate new waters he never thought he would have to with the kid. He hopes he can handle at least one of 'em right.

❤ Social Butterfly Spidey by Jenniboo311 @jenniboo311

No Archive Warnings Apply || Rated T

A series filled with Spider-Man's adventures in social media.

❤ A New Point of View by waitingondaisies @waitingondaisies

No Archive Warnings Apply || Rated T

Peter doesn't hesitate before ditching school to go help fight the weird, purple, goo energy type stuff that's coming out of a portal over Manhattan. Perhaps he should have, though, because when he and Tony breathe the stuff in, they end up swapping bodies. With Dr. Strange not answering his phone, Peter and Tony are stuck living each others' lives for the time being. Really, though, what could go wrong?

❤ one single thread of gold by tonystarktrash

No Archive Warnings Apply || Rated M

Tony's answer to the final question of whether he would ever allow contact to be made prior to his offspring’s 18th birthday had been instinctive. Tony had checked ‘no’ and had clicked the end of the pen, satisfied by a job well done. A quiet voice at the back of his mind, the voice of his mother, had caused him to scribble over ‘no’ until the bottom of the page was almost entirely consumed by ink. Then, his handwriting cramped but legible, Tony had written yes — in case of medical emergencies or death of legal guardian(s).

a drunken dare made six years ago leads to a phone call that changes tony stark's life.

❤ Catch Your Own Happiness by truelovetakesawhile

Archive Warnings Apply! || Rated M

When Tony finds a strange, spidery experiment locked underground in a Hydra facility, he takes it upon himself to try rehabilitating a teenager who knows nothing about the outside world.

❤ The ghost at the back of your closet by niniblack @niniblack

Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings || Rated M

The DODC makes good on their threat to charge May with child endangerment, sending Peter into foster care. But in a universe where Tony Stark is still alive, his actions have repercussions as well, and May Parker isn’t the only one fighting to get custody of her child back.

Meanwhile, Peter’s left completely alone and unable to contact any of his loved ones, trying to navigate a system he thought he’d left behind after his aunt and uncle picked him up a few weeks after his parents’ deaths. And he’s absolutely not going to let anything like what happened to him happen to Morgan, no matter what he has to do to make sure she’s safe.

❤ Tales from the Tower MedBay by Call_Me_Coley @call-me-coley

No Archive Warnings Apply || Rated G

Also known as “MedBay Adventures” with a specific focus on Irondad and Spiderson, and of course some Avengers and Ironfam will be stopping by!

Or

A series of unrelated drabbles and oneshots that revolve around the Tower’s MedBay cuz if we’re being honest, you know those walls have got some stories to tell.

Please be sure to leave these amazing authors' comments and kudos!

Also! Stay tuned for a 'completed multi-chapter' and 'one-shot' rec list in the future!

[imgoingtocrash]

Hi! Can you recommend some of your favourite pepperony fics feat. one pseudo spideyson ?😁❤️

Ohhh, twist my arm if you must. 😏 You know you came to the right girl, so I'll try my best while admitting some are more technically fitting the concept versus being Pepperony/Ironparents-to-Peter centric the whole time. I’m picky about fic, so the list isn’t as long as I wish it was. If you have more fics to rec in this area, feel free to reblog and add them!

You’re probably here because you’ve read my fic, which is just me writing all of the Pepperony + Peter into the world that I want, but if you haven’t read my stuff…I have it in spades. ☺️

the hearth by sagemb

In this one, we’re ignoring canon and having fun picturing a future where Peter’s about to go off to college, and hanging out with Peter for a weekend makes Tony realize that he and Pepper are actually pretty interested in having kids. It’s good and soft and healthy about couples therapy stuff with Tony and Pepper and I love it.

good kid name by rainwaiter

Pepper BioMom!AU where Pepper doesn’t NEED Tony to help her have the child she didn’t plan for, but he’s there and moony about her and loves Peter from the jump.

hydra's not a home (series) by tempestaurora

Not exactly news that this series is amazing, but it was one of the first Tony/Pepper-as-Peter's-bioparents fics I'd ever read in the fandom (honestly one of the first SERIES I'd read in the fandom) and will always have a special place in my heart.

[More under the cut!]

built from scraps (series) by peterstank

Probably also incredibly well known in the fandom, but a favorite of mine for always. The way this fic/series deals with so much and gets every part right will never cease to amaze me, particularly on the Peter and Pepper front. The way they're allowed to grieve and grow and become family in the first fic alone...*chef's kiss*

the gift of you (series) by MayWilder

Specifically boundaries of myself and epilogue are Pepper-Peter centric, but the whole series does a great job at establishing a closeness between the Starks and Parkers, and in doing so how they end up so close when Peter needs a guardian after May passes. (I'll admit I'm not a huge Parkner shipper, so I mostly read the gen fics in this series, but if that ship is your thing, that's an added bonus later!)

From the Mixed-Up Files of Ms. Virginia "Pepper" Potts by sturionic

I highly recommend the series that this is in as a whole—it’s funny and sweet until it gets angsty too, and it’s all a good read! But particularly I love this fic because there’s so much casual intimacy as the Starks and both Parkers grow into family, and even short scenes feel very alive and warm by being so descriptive.

the best day with you by tonystarktrash

Tony is Peter’s single dad and Pepper is his teacher, a fluffy trope that always hits perfectly written by an author I love. (Keep an eye out for their latest fic, which I predict will be incredible and is in the Pepperony + Peter vein.)

a first time for everything by crowkag

Peter is sick while under Tony’s care. Tony anxiously calls Pepper about how to handle it. He realizes he kind of likes this whole parental thing.

In the merry month of June (series) by Gruoch

I'm going to say this counts because Grandparents Pepperony gets me the softest. Pepper's here and wonderfully written and obviously adores Peter growing up and giving them a new baby to fawn over as much as Tony does. Pepper isn't a main focus here but rather part of the whole Stark-Parker-Jones family focus that's so, so present and adorable.

I Would Lay My Armor Down by losingmymindtonight

This fic is really about Peter in the Stark family as a whole, but it's so REAL and interesting in interpreting the future of that family dynamic--family dinners with Drama™️, sibling dynamics, Tony and Pepper growing old as the parents of said siblings...once again including on a technicality but I love it so much!!!

Thank you for the ask!!! I love making a nice rec list! I would also suggest looking at the other works of some of these authors—there’s definitely more Pepper buried in their other fics that I may have forgotten or just felt didn’t qualify for this list in particular!

[trenchcoat-full-of-recs]

this is pretty much a spider-man: no way home special. post-nwh, i have competing but equally strong desires: to read all the fix-it fic, the fixier the better, OR then to read fic in which peter picks himself up and competently resumes his new life. okay, there’s also wallowing in sadness, and spider-bro bonding is very compelling to me... as such, these are the categories i will use today.

it goes without saying that this place is chock-full of spoilers. also, there’s a whole bunch of wips here--so of course it’s hard to know if all of them will stick the landing, but at least i had a good time reading till this point.

nwh sadness

halley’s comet by Zaypay - as said on the tin, this one is sad. tony time-travels to after nwh from right before endgame to see peter and make sure he's okay, that the plan succeeds. peter is obviously not okay, and tony isn’t staying, but at least peter gets to see him one last time...

Remember that Spider Guy? by uwukathie - short fic, sam and bucky forgetting peter mid-conversation about him.

can i have a moment before i go? by tonystarktrash - tony from another dimension accidentally ends up in peter’s universe after nwh. he doesn’t stay or take peter with him, hence the nwh sadness... this fic stood out to me for how peter is different. he's angry and he's sad and he's coping, and he doesn’t expect anyone to save him.

Memories Leave Bruises by Eqquator - peter hallucinates tony at his apartment. this momentarily makes things better, but, uh... obviously, also not.

nwh fix-its

Long Story Short (It Was A Bad Time) Or AIs Don't Forget by peacockgirl - when i read this, i was like, yess, this is the kind of fix-it i’m after. essentially, in a universe where tony is still alive, the mind wipe didn't work on ais, so peter still has karen, and karen contacts friday, and when peter's super injured friday contacts tony, who doesn't remember peter but who remembers eventually. and it's all very h/c and <3

Peter Parker and the AIs by Ocearna - a series of fics (the series is incomplete, but each fic is) focused on the premise that, post-nwh, all people have forgotten peter, but tony’s ais still remember him. which is obviously similar to the above, but tony is still dead in this one. however tony left protocols for the kid with friday and also with si, and friday is acting in peter’s best interests, which is very much what i needed.

to the lonely themselves it wears a mask by PicassoPickle - complete, and this one is peter and happy-centric. starts off sad because nobody remembers peter, but happy sort of worries about him even without remembering, and then his memories come back and it’s all heartwarming.

Universal Constants by bluesweatshirt - this involves dr strange sending peter into a different universe at the end of nwh. in this new universe, peter died with his parents in the plane crash and tony is alive. naturally, they (re)connect.

all the paths back home by sushicorps (Inclinant) - a series of short fics where nwh is fixed because tony stark is alive. in the first, he comes back to life before the spell is done, and prevents everything from happening. in the second, he's alive, and after nwh morgan remembers peter and makes tony remember too.

Forever Winter by Milstrim - a wip, we’ll see where this one goes! tony comes back from the dead like after nwh goes down and he's like ??? peter?? and nobody remembers peter, of course. so he’s trying to find him. hopefully they will and everybody will live happily ever after? who knows.

Hold On To It All My Son by Forthenightisdarkandfullofterror - a short fix-it where tony is alive (but in a coma during far from home) and realizes something is off when he wakes up. (naturally, then he finds peter and remembers him.)

Remember What They Stood For by Liliaphant (Seaphire) - a short fix-it where morgan remembers peter and makes pepper look for him after nwh. is it self-indulgent? yes. is that a bad thing? no, because that boy needs all the fix-its.

Sanctuary Volunteer Hours by JK_Terfling_Can_Suck_My_Silicone_Dick - it’s a promising wip, and sort of on the edge between sadness and fix-it. the idea here is that, post-nwh, peter hangs out at the sanctum santorum, and strange gets invested in his well-being even though he doesn’t remember him. 

The world kept you like a secret, but I kept you like an oath by Forthenightisdarkandfullofterror - well, i assume this wip will eventually lead to a fix-it! this presumes that tony was alive the whole time, but in a coma, and his heart stopped at the exact moment the spell was done, so it didn't affect him. he wakes up and still remembers peter and is looking for him. peter’s not doing too hot in this one (so there’s def nwh sadness as well) but yeah hopefully it’ll end well...

ned and mj remember

my tears ricochet by strwberrywaffle - a well done ‘mj and ned figure it out’ fic! some of it is peter’s pov, but most of it is theirs, worrying about this weird guy and bonding with him, and then mj remembers first.

Worth a Thousand Words by Komoru - a sweet fic wherein peter at first holds off on telling mj and ned about him, but then becomes friends with them anyway and ultimately tells them and they remember. it may be too easy, but that’s what peter deserves rn!

in the end i'd do it all again by joshriku - peter befriends mj and ned without telling them anything, so kinda similarly sweet to the above, but here they figure it out without being told.

to see through all the smoke and dirt by mjonesing (klassmartin) - peter goes to mit in this one, and meets harry and gwen, but also more importantly mj and ned are also there and they figure it out and remember peter independently, without him confessing. what sets this apart is that they're angry at peter for lying to them. i mean, it still ends well, but it was a cool take.

spiderbros bonding

rest your weary head by wednesdayevening - this is sweet so far! wip (well, a two-chapter one, and only one chapter is there now). peter two and peter three come through to peter's universe because they figure out what happened, and they still remember him, and give him a much-needed hug.

I’d Like to Be My Old Self Again (But I’m Still Trying to Find It) by fangirl_in_a_trenchcoat - this one is focused on peter three (so, garfield’s peter). it’s a bit less spider-bros bonding, maybe, but it’s got him looking at the other two peters who found their mjs, and wondering what it means for himself.

post-nwh competence

Spider-Man: Creating Home Again by Lebaas - wip. this runs with the idea that spider-man is invited to the new avengers (with yelena, kate, shang-chi) and forges new bonds from there. also, things generally look hopeful for him, and people appreciate him and his competence.

Happy FFWF! What are some of your favorite Fics you’ve read?

Happy FFWF! (Sorry I'm late 😅) Oookay let's go digging into my bookmarks shall we...

"The Room Where It Happens" by @notaparty-trick — the Irondad kidnapping fic that's an AU of the movie The Room. You know how there's some fics that you just know you're gonna reread someday because you liked it that much? I got that with this fic. Like, if I were stuck on an island with only a few fics to read, this would be one of the fics I'd choose. It's seriously so all-around good.

"For You" by Lansfics7 — oh look another Irondad kidnapping fic! Great action, great whump, and I love the banter and dialogue so much! Also, Tony opens up to Peter about Afghanistan and Yinsen 🥺

"At The Edge of Existence, An Ocean" by @ironfamjam — Tony in the afterlife (Endgame compliant). I remember reading this fic shortly after watching Endgame when the hurt was still fresh, and it made me feel... peaceful. I mean, when it comes to Tony, I will always and forever be camping in "denial" within the stages of grief. But in times when I could use a little acceptance, this fic is always there to provide it. And it does that so beautifully.

"the last five years" by @tonystarktrash — another Endgame compliant fic, but it mostly focuses on Tony and Pepper between IW and Endgame. Had to dig pretty deep for this one, it's one of the first fics in my bookmarks! The second-to-the-last chapter literally had me tearing up the first time I read it (remember it's Endgame compliant so, yeah). Sorry I just wanna share a small part that tore my heart (SPOILERS): when Tony, Pepper, and Morgan make plans for a family vacation, before Scott Lang and co. visited, and they were so excited for it (Disney World iirc, because Tony had apparently never been). But then, of course, Endgame happens. And at the end of the fic Pepper and Morgan still decide to go, but now it's only the two of them 😭

Whew this turned into an angst fest. Of course there are so so many more fics out there that I love, but I'm in an angsty mood tonight so, here ya go with a list of a few of my favorites!! 💕

Scrambling buck-ass-naked through the window of his own apartment was not how he intended to come out to Spiderman, but well, these sorts of things just happen to him. Gotta look into acid proof suits.

“Heya Spidey,” Wade says because, well, nothing to be done about it now. He holds his arms out looking down at his own body, and well—yeah, that’s still a sight, ain’t it? “Sorry, pal, didn’t mean to shaft the funhouse onto you unawares. Get it? Shaft?”

(Peter sees Wade naked and they jump into this head first. Pun intended.)

That and the fact that he's fucking done with staring at Steve staring (and drooling) at that guy on the other side of the bar. So he makes sure they have a good time. Possibly the best time either of them have ever had because of the way they seem to perfectly /fill out/ each other.

Or: Steve shows Bucky that his dick's size doesn't have to hinder his sex life.

Surprise Afternoon Shopping (ao3) - endlesstwanted bucky/tony E, 6k

Touch (ao3) - orphan_account steve/tony M, 1k

“You’ve got good form,” Steve says admiringly after watching Tony land a few hits. He moves to stand at his side, watching the muscles in Tony’s forearms tense with each punch. “Who taught you?”

“There’s not much to it,” Tony says between gritted teeth, sweat burning in his eyes, “I just picture your face on the bag and pummel the shit out of it.”

happy (belated) ffwf! Do you read anything to inspire you to write? If so, what do you read?

Happy FFWF, sorry this is a week late 😅

That is a very interesting question, I have been thinking about it! Hmm, sometimes I do reread angst fics to set the mood before I write angsty scenes. The one that immediately comes to mind is the second-to-the-last chapter of the last five years by @tonystarktrash. Without giving much away, this chapter in particular focuses on the Ironfam, in an Endgame compliant fic. So yeah... it's sad. And it gives glimpses into Tony's relationships with each of his family, so when I'm looking to remember snippets of relationship dynamics, I've found this to be a great chapter to reread.

And I reread lots of other stuff from my ao3 bookmarks! Mostly the angsty ones! It's really great to be able to come back to those fics and remember what I love about these characters and these stories, and use that to inspire my writing, too.
