** While Howard Stark was implied to be aloof and judgemental to Tony in canon, here Tony recalls him being a physically violent alcoholic to him and his mother and considers his own neglectfulness to Peter a step-up.



* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: It's revealed that Howard was physically abusive and judgemental to Tony and his mother, so Tony thinks that he was leagues better by giving Peter his space and that Peter is ungrateful for denouncing him. Unfortunately for him, the story (and everyone in it) has none of it, treating Tony's ParentalNeglect as just a different form of abusive parenting.

* HiddenDisdainReveal: Peter's goodbye video addressed to Tony (and free to view to the entire world) was made to [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty keep Tony from getting away with his terrible parenting]].
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Tony and Peter's relationship sounds a lot like Tony's relationship with his own father Howard, including the part where Peter spent most of his education out of the way at Boarding School.
* MemeticMutation: The fanfic is riddled with InUniverse examples based around the rocky personal lives of the Stark Family.
* ParentalNeglect: Tony and Peter's relationship as father and son is virtually non-existent. While Tony and Peter are only ever seen together in convenient PR-related activities like galas and charities, he has his company provide for any of the "personal stuff", with multiple mentions that Tony doesn't even know when Peter's birthday is.
* NeverMyFault: When confronted after Peter's video, Tony denies culpability for Peter's resentment towards him and treating it like the tantrum of a SpoiledBrat, this being TheLastStraw for Pepper.
