What would you say are the top ten worst Tony stan fanfiction tropes?

OK! note that a lot of those will probably be post CW tropes tbh :

1. No fix-it (aka bitter/salty fics)
2. Anything with Tony being neglected/misunderstood by his teammates
3. Tony joins the GotG (because they treat him better)
4. Salty!tony moves on with his life and surrounds himself with ‘real’ friends and tells off his ex teammates when they come (inevitably) begging for his help
5. Laura, Vision, Pietro, Nat or even Bucky turning their backs on team Cap to support t*ny instead
6. Kinda similar to above but: the world has turned against team cap. The Accords are right, T*ny was right to support them.
7. T*ny dies in Siberia or is left severely injured after the fight
8. Irondad
9.  #hurt!tony, #ironmanpain in general
10. Writing stony BUT with Steve as the biggest asshole Earth has ever encountered

Excellent list. If I may just add a few (cause I got this exact ask and your list pretty much sums it up so I hope this is ok) –

11. Aunt Peggy yells at Steve/Aunt Peggy’s death hurt Tony way more than it did Steve because she practically raised him and Steve’s an asshole for not telling Tony about it (you’d think if Tony actually had any idea who she was he wouldn’t have needed to hear the news from Steve but anyway)

12. Tony is really involved in establishing the new order (while he hypocritically never reveals his own violation) under the Accords and is doing good productive work while Steve is sad and lonely.

13. Tony is forever traumatised by his murder attempt. He can’t look at Steve, can’t be in the same room as Steve because Steve’s mere presence triggers flashbacks of Tony’s traumatic murder rampage.

14. Steve and Tony were in a relationship before CW. Except the author makes it so only Tony’s actions and words towards Steve change as a result of this very crucial change in the story. Not Steve’s. So they can make Steve look like a cold, distant douchebag.

15. Steve keeps getting defensive about Howard Stark even though it causes Tony, Howard’s abused and mistreated son, great pain and anguish.

16. Wanda is teh Ebil.

17. Sam lost his free will when it came to friendships after Riley fell…because that makes sense somehow.

18. Tony has everything but love.
