So, You’re About To Take The PACER Test

Summary:

Peter Parker: im about to change your life
mr. stark: Congratulations
mr. stark: I’m concerned
Peter Parker: hi concerned
Peter Parker: im dad
mr. stark: Excuse you?
Peter Parker: yep my bad
Peter Parker: wont happen again sir

 

Peter has an idea about Captain America’s PSAs. Tony simply must hear about it.

Notes:

hiiiiiiiiiiiii. welcome back.

so, for starters: a Busy Man got 70 kudos in a week. I thought that was insane for something that really didn’t take me that long. then, The Concerning Hypotheticals got 100 IN A DAY. GUYS. WHAT. WHY. EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.

anyways. rhodey isn’t actually in this one, because I thought it would be a good representation of how peter feels about him at this point. and it gave me a bigger excuse for irondad. sue me.

I’ve decided that timeline-wise, this fic exists somewhere after homecoming, and then just veers from canon into a peaceful universe in which thanos can’t impede (a total cop-out, I know, but I didn’t care enough to do anything else).

the title should be narrated in a stern chris evans voice, by the way.

enjoy.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Tony liked the kid, he really did.

His ideas, though? Questionable at best. No, slightly stress-inducing at best. That is the nicest thing Tony could say about his ideas. And there was absolutely nothing he could do to change that.

Peter Parker: i just thought of something even better

Peter Parker: bc caps a war criminal and terrorist and all

Peter Parker: they should replace him with colonel rhodes

Peter Parker: colonel rhodes is a good role model right

Peter Parker: i mean

Peter Parker: hes not a fugitive AND hes really cool

Peter Parker: so hes better than cap

Peter Parker: so he should be in those videos

mr. stark: You know kid

mr. stark: Sometimes

mr. stark: Occasionally

mr. stark: You have a truly brilliant idea

mr. stark: This is one of those times

Peter Parker: so youre gonna get colonel rhodes to do it

mr. stark: We’ll see

Peter Parker: yessssssssssssss

Tones: So Peter had an idea

On second thought, Tony might be able to learn to appreciate the kid’s ideas. Just a little bit.
