For the fanfic ask game: f, i, s, u.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you've written and explain why you're proud of it.

okay i love this scene from silent spidey (hasn't been posted yet)(debatable whether it will ever be posted):

[4:38pm]

peter: NED peter: MAY FOUND OUT peter: IN CASE I DIE IM LEAVING MY PHONE AND LAPTOP TO YOU. ALSO THE LEGO SETS 

ned: is she MAD??  ned: PETER??? 

[6:02pm]

peter: may said i can keep being spider-man!!!

ned: awesome!! wanna come over to my house and celebrate with legos??

peter: that sounds awesome but unfortunately i’m grounded until i die

obviously i like it because i think it's funny and i like how you can kinda tell what's happening outside of the texts, like peter texting back over an hour later because may yelled at him for a while

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

idk if its guilty because im not that ashamed of anything i do but i love overpowered peter. specifically where everyone else finds out he's overpowered and is like "holy shit this kid we've been making fun of for being weak is actually holding back" shoutout to flash in one of my wips btw, abt to get your shit wrecked dude

S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?

i'm a sucker for biodad/adopted dad tony stark especially if it's super soft and adorable and tony learning to be a better person specifically for peter. haven't written much of it myself because my tony is very snarky and fits much better with the peter he met as a teenager as opposed to the peter he raised from infancy but i still love it

U: Share three of your favourite fic writers and why you like them so much.

i love onlyforward because they have such a good writing style, it like reaches into my brain and pulls out all the heir!peter, class finding out, etc that i always want to read. plus like i like reading about characters being in charge of things, it's a part of why i love ghost king danny phantom where he actually does king stuff, i love heir!peter where he actually does CEO things it's Amazing

opal_earrings writes AMAZING soulmate au fics, which is what i first subscribed to them for, but i love their gala fic (blow your mind) because it's the perfect mix of spidey being a newbie and also being incredibly good at what he does. 10/10 wonderful

derpmallow wrote the best outsider pov fic from abes perspective when peter picks up pizza, and i think i reread it like every 2 weeks. it's super funny and that introduced me to the rest of their works (desperate measurers?? i CRIED) and to this date is the ONLY person i will read any sort of alternate universe from, like fantasy and pirate and stuff. incredible

anyway! thanks for the ask!

So Far So Good

https://archiveofourown.org/works/50289034 by Derpmallow "I'm not a maniac, Peter." "Diggity denial! I love it." A young voice shouts from across the lab. Rhoedy stares. What the fuck? "Denial?" Tony shouts, head popping up from behind a workbench. "Peter, my dearest intern, I'll have you know I pay you too much for this kind of sass." The kid makes a face and he taps the table, inspecting his robot. Tony throws a tool to the boy, Peter, apparently, who catches with ease without looking up. Or, Rhodey meets Peter Parker. He decides being a cool uncle is a not a want, but a need.

Pain Relief

Happy New Year!! I had to stay up and I'm about to ring it in in the car so I can pick up a teenager just after midnight, so you guys get one more story this year!

It's December 16th. The anniversary of Tony's parents' death. He's usually not alone on this day, and struggles with how to handle his grief, with a little too much temptation at hand. Thankfully, one of his reasons for avoiding temptation and old, toxic habits these days shows up to remind him why. But what's wrong with the kid's hair?

@derpmallow your idea made me think of this fanart which I adore

Hes an acquired exotic pet

Hiii just wondering how do u recommend finding those good Peter fics especially the underrated ones???

i got this, here we go!!!

sort by date updated!! i know it’s tempting to sort by kudos, but you’ll never find any underrated ones that way.

don’t be afraid to read incomplete fics!! sometimes, your comments will be what makes the author want to continue writing and posting!! i know i’ve got a stranger things fic going rn that i’ve completely finished writing, but the lack of interaction is making me not want to upload it all.

when you find an author you like, go to their page and check their bookmarks! odds are, if they’ve written something you like, they’ll have read something that you like as well. that’s how i found one of my favorite authors ever, OnlyForward!!

follow @ao3feed-irondadspiderson !! it automatically posts anything posted in the tony&peter tag on ao3, and that way you can see on your tumblr dash the summaries and tags of fics, and decide if you want to read it! you could be someone’s very first hit that way!

if authors put their tumblr blogs in their notes, follow them! they’re probably friends with other authors on tumblr, which opens up a web of people to read and follow!!

and i’ll leave you with @derpmallow who is to this date one of my very favorite underrated authors and i would love to see them brought into the light more! here’s the ao3!!

have a good day, bestie!! remember to toss a comment to your authors!

[multiverse-irondad-july]

awe you did it perfectly!! Welcome aboard Seven Seas July, matey 🏴‍☠️ And my gosh what a summary that has us hook, line, and sinker! Honestly, this is such a good way to set the stage and Tony going soft?? What a sweet father-son duo :’) go check out @derpmallow​’s fic to see the amazing story and “a wee bit of arson” 👀🔥

Figured I'd try out Seven Seas July lol! Idk how ur supposed to do this?? I'm just going along with old posts :))

"Peter’s always loved the ocean, though he’s only read about it in stories. He’s read tales of pirates, pillaging the seven seas, and explores setting out to find new land. He’s read about buried treasure, and riches beyond belief.

Peter’s always wanted to be a pirate, but it's here on this ship, headed for lands far beyond where Peter grew up that he realizes the sea’s true unforgiving nature."

U can find more info on the event on this account! @multiverse-irondad-july

Irondad fic ideas #24

Irondad lab days but Peter comes straight from school, and on the days Happy doesn't drive Peter to and from school, he finds weirder and weirder shit to carry with him to the lab. One day he comes in with a cat he's watching for Ned, another day it's an enter sign he found on the floor at school (or any sign, really), it's rusty keys he found it the gutter on someone's roof, a really cool stone he finds when passing the Sanctum (It's probably not gonna kill us, Mr. Stark! Look how it glows! Isn't that cool?) And every time he brings something by Tony's just like "HOW DO YOU KEEP FINDING STUFF LIKE THIS??"

Peter walking into Tony's lab like "Hey Mr. Stark!" And carrying, like, a bench

This idea was submitted by @derpmallow !

Edit to add!!! Bonus:

Peter doesn't start it intentionally: he doesn't have the whole sticky-thing under control yet, so it just kinda happens. But after he finds Tony's reactions amusing he's just like, "I'm gonna go find the weirdest shit to bring over here"

Irondad fic ideas #23

Flash gets ahold of Peter's phone somehow. Maybe Peter left it at a table at a party while getting another drink (probably water given his metabolism). Maybe Flash just snatched it while Peter was distracted at decathlon. Regardless, somehow, someway, Flash ends up with Peter's phone. He sees a contact labeled "Mr Stark" (*other possibilities also include "Yoda" and "Dad"). Flash being Flash, he decides to call bullshit. For a laugh, he texts that number, "we have ur son."

Flash does not expect Tony Stark to nearly blow out the windows with the force of his Iron Man suit as he lands outside.

He ultimately has to fess up about it in front of everyone and hand Peter's phone back to him. And if Tony Stark says anything regarding Flash's future if he chooses to keep bothering Peter, no one in that room heard it.

Irondad fic ideas #101

Peter keeps little trinkets/fanart that people give to him on patrol by hanging it up on his walls, putting things on shelves, etc.

Now, ever since May learned about Spider-Man she's made Tony come over to their house for takeout regularly so she knows exactly what Peter's been hiding from her. (This is not bonding time because May has plenty of friends of her own. Tony Stark is definitely not her friend. That would never happen. He is just a guy. Obviously.)

Fic where Tony comes over for his monthly Parker dinner and sees some of the fanart and little toys on the tables because Peter ran out of space in his bedroom. He's like, "Where's all this coming from?" and Peter gets super excited, explaining how people come up to him during patrol and tell him how grateful they are that he does what he does.

Bonus:

When it gets cold out, a fan gives him a knitted sweater, and Peter wears it every day out on patrol until it is literally 80 degrees out and he can't wear it without risking heatstroke (sometimes he sees the fan out and about and asks them for help with repairs, because he's tried to do all the research imaginable and it's just not working out)

This fic idea was submitted by @derpmallow!

Bonus thought from idkb:

Tony, after listening to Peter explain the fanart/gifts and how he's run out of space in his bedroom so now they're spilling out into the house: You know, you could put some of them in your room at the tower if you want

Peter: I have a room at the tower??????

[idk-bruh-20]

Irondad fic ideas #70

Peter is really quiet and still when he sleeps. Like, he's completely different from when he's awake. Cue Peter falling asleep in the lab and scaring the shit out of Tony. Falling asleep on the couch after a long patrol and scaring the shit out of Tony. Falling asleep on his bedroom floor, too tired to make it to his bed, and, you guessed it: scaring the absolute shit out of Tony. Every time Tony has to ask FRIDAY to run Peter's vitals because he's so still when he sleeps that Tony finds it disturbing.

After a particularly hard mission with the avengers, Peter collapses on one of the chairs in the quinjet. He wore himself out because it was his first one while Tony and Rhodey were both away (Rhodey often babysits Peter on missions when Tony can't be around because he's cool and great we love and support Uncle Rhodey). The avengers, who have never seen Peter asleep before and cannot think straight through their panic, believe Peter is dead. They're immediately like "oh shit ohshitohshit Tony's gonna kill us" and the ride to the tower is over too quickly to even check for sure and Tony is waiting there, having returned home early so he can greet Peter.

The avengers are like "haha heyyy Tony. Listen, about your kid..." And someone carries Peter out and it, you know, scares the shit out of Tony for like half a second - before he realizes. He turns to the avengers like, "Oh yeah, he does that sometimes," and Peter wakes up not even 2 minutes later, completely fine

Add in some nice father-son (we ain't nasty here folks) cuddles or something between the boys because <3 comfort

Irondad fic ideas #55

Peter read online (or learns in a class) that hugging people lowers blood pressure, and reduces anxiety (it does a lot more than that, but those are the things he focuses on). Knowing Tony is probably low on hugs, he decides to take matters into his own hands by hugging Tony as much as possible. Peter's hesitant at first, because the first time Tony goes stiff, but the hugs actually begin to work wonders, so slowly he does it more often. Soon, he hugs Tony every chance he gets. In the hallway, passing him in the kitchen, entering the lab, just all the time.

It works so well that Tony just starts relaxing whenever Peter is in the room, and he can't figure out why. Pepper will invite Peter over on the days when Tony can't sleep, caught up in worrying about things that could go wrong, but Peter's hugs always help him come back to reality.

Bonus for angst:

Alternatively, Tony does know why he relaxes around Peter, because when he was a kid he actually tried to learn about the healthy benefits of hugs so that his own father would hug him more. The only person his research ever got through to was Jarvis, who did his best.

Tony can see that Peter is doing his best too, which only makes him hold Peter that much closer, because Peter cares enough to try.

Irondad fic ideas #45

Peter finds a tiny kitten in a car engine one night (could be on patrol or on the way home from school) and May, surprisingly, is on board with keeping it. Peter reads online that in the early ages cats need to socialize a lot so that they're more friendly with new people, so, since he's on summer break, whenever May's not home he just takes the cat everywhere. Just holds it in his hand.

He shows up to Tony's lab like, "Hey Mr. Stark!" completely normal, and Tony's like, "...what's with all the meowing?" and Peter pulls a cat out, presenting it proudly.

Tony's heard all sorts of animal horror stories from his parents because Howard didn't want a pet, so at first Tony's like, "Get it out of my lab." But he can't resist Peter's puppy eyes. The cat stays. Cut to like a month later and Tony has to watch Peter's cat for some reason, and Tony does that thing that dads do where they're like "we're not getting a pet >:(" then "this is my child and if anything happened to it I would kill all of you and then myself."

He says it's because Peter would be devastated. But really, that's only half of it.
