A good fanfiction in this regard should have a strong bond between Tony and his best friend. For example, they should be able to understand each other without many words. Their interactions should feel natural, like real friends.
There's a fanfic called 'Tony Stark and His Inseparable Friend'. In this one, the best friend is a brilliant scientist too. They have a friendly rivalry that adds a lot of fun to the story. It also delves into how they inspire each other in their scientific pursuits.
Developing the OC in a Tony Stark best friend fanfiction requires a multi - faceted approach. Their goals and dreams are important. If they want to make the world a better place through their inventions, it sets the tone for their character. Their flaws are equally crucial. Maybe they are a bit too idealistic, which sometimes causes problems in their friendship with Tony. Their hobbies can also be a part of their character development. If they love old - fashioned vinyl records, it shows a side of them that is different from the high - tech world of Tony. Interactions with other characters in the Marvel universe, not just Tony, can further develop the OC.
A great plot could involve the OC being a journalist. They are assigned to do a story on Tony Stark. At first, Tony is reluctant to cooperate, but the OC's tenacity and genuine interest in his work as Iron Man make him change his mind. As they spend more time together for the story, they become friends. Then, they end up using their combined skills to expose a conspiracy within the government that is targeting superheroes.
There's also 'Tony Stark and Jarvis: A Bond Beyond Tech'. This one focuses on the emotional bond between them. It shows how Tony has come to rely on Jarvis not just for his intelligence but also for the comfort of having someone always there. It has some heart - warming moments where they have deep conversations, and it really makes you appreciate their unique relationship.
One great Spiderman and Tony Stark fanfiction is 'The Stark Internship'. It shows how Peter Parker's relationship with Tony develops in a really cool way. They go on adventures together and Tony acts as a mentor to Peter.
One great 'Bell and Tony Stark fanfiction' is 'Stark's Unlikely Ally'. In this story, Bell, a character with unique abilities, stumbles into Tony Stark's world. The story is exciting as it shows how Bell's naivete contrasts with Stark's high - tech sophistication. It has great character development and some really cool action scenes where Bell's powers and Stark's Iron Man suit work together in unexpected ways.
Well, 'Tony Stark: The Mutant Avenger' is quite interesting. In this fanfiction, Tony discovers his mutant powers during a lab accident. It shows his struggle to control these new powers while still being Iron Man. There are also some really cool fight scenes where he uses his mutant abilities in combination with his high - tech gadgets. And then there's 'Mutant Tech - Tony Stark's New Era' which delves into how his mutant status changes his approach to technology and his relationships with the other Avengers.
Well, I really like the fanfiction 'Tony Stark's Ultimate Sacrifice'. It's a heart - wrenching story where Tony has to make a huge sacrifice to save the Avengers and the world. The way it's written really captures the essence of his character. 'Avengers: Tony's Clone Dilemma' is also quite engaging. Here, a clone of Tony is created and the Avengers have to figure out if it's friend or foe. It plays with the idea of identity and loyalty. And 'The Iron Man and the Alien Alliance' is a story where Tony teams up with an alien race to help the Avengers in a fight against a common enemy. It has some really cool alien technology and battle scenes.
Pepper Potts can also be a great addition in some of these fanfictions. Even though she's mainly related to Tony, her presence can add a different dynamic. For example, if the fanfiction is about Tony dealing with Howard's legacy, Pepper can be the voice of reason, helping Tony see things more clearly. She can also interact with the memory or apparition of Howard in some creative ways, which makes for a great read.
