Summary
"Yeah, we're all aware of how weird this is, kid," Mr. Stark said, leaning back against his desk."Can you still call me kid if you're 17 now?" Peter asked with a grin. Mr. Stark gave him a pointed look."First of all, you're 15-""-and 7 months.""-which means I'm still physically 2 years older than you," Mr. Stark carried on as if Peter never interrupted. "And second of all, I'm still mentally myself. All 46 years of me." He tapped his temple.------Or, after a run-in with an angry sorcerer, Tony is stuck in the body of his 17-year-old self. Until they can find the sorcerer again, he is shipped off to live with the Parkers for his own safety, much to everyone's chagrin. Over the course of his time as a newly minted teenager, Tony must suffer through high school, field trips, parties, and his actually-a-teenager protégé, who is acting stranger than ever.
Note
I've never written an Iron Dad fic, so I might deviate from a lot of the common tropes, while also mashing together other tropes that probably should've never been mashed together at all lol.Huge shout out to my beta, bledyn, for putting up with me over the course of writing this fic <3 I couldn't have done it without you!Also, I will be drawing a little inspiration from the comics in terms of Peter's characterization. Nothing too drastic, but I wanted to give him a little bit of the short temper and snark that he's known for. So if you notice that he's written a little differently here, that's why.And, Tony and Peter's relationship won't be explicitly of the Father-Son variety yet. At the start of this fic, it's just a few months after Homecoming. Peter and Tony's relationship is in a better place, but they aren't nearly as close as they were in Infinity War/Endgame. This fic will dive deeper into that relationship, Peter's desire to impress Tony, Tony's desire to fix his past mistakes with Peter, and a bunch of other issues. But since Tony literally looks 17 for most of the fic, Peter won't be calling him Dad or mentally categorizing him as such, both because I don't think Peter's brain would see another teenager and go "ah yes, father" y'know? And also, this fic has a relatively short timeline, and they won't get there that quickly. So if you came here to see explicit Iron Dad, just know it's going to be inexplicit "Tony looking out for Peter in a concerned, parent type way while ignoring his own issues with Howard, and peter just wants this cool older hero to think he's actually cool and good at the whole superhero thing".Actually, I should've just left it at "its complicated" lol.Anyways, enjoy! I appreciate any and all comments left!!
