One possible story could be about Tony's moral struggle within the 'Merchant of Death' scenario. Maybe he tries to find a way to redeem himself from his dark deeds. For example, he might start using his skills to protect the innocent instead of causing harm.
Another aspect could be Tony's technological innovations in this 'Merchant of Death' setting. He might create new weapons or defenses not just for himself but also for those he wants to protect. His genius could be explored in a different light, where he has to balance his past actions with his newfound purpose.
The 'Merchant of Death' concept probably means that Tony is involved in activities related to death in a commercial way. For example, he might be selling things that can cause death, such as weapons or poisons.
I'm not sure who Tony specifically is in this fanfiction without reading it. It could be an original character created by the author, or perhaps a reimagined version of a known character in a particular fictional universe.
Another theme is self - discovery. Tony realizes that his identity as a weapons - maker isn't all he wants to be. He starts to explore other aspects of himself, like his ability to be a true hero and protector. In some fanfictions, he discovers new values and beliefs that change his perspective on life. For example, he might start to value human life more than profits from weapons sales. This self - discovery often goes hand in hand with his journey of redemption.
One popular 'Tony is the Merchant of Death' fanfiction is 'The Iron Path'. It delves deep into Tony's complex character and his journey after being labeled as such. It shows how he grapples with his reputation and tries to make amends in a very engaging way.
Well, obviously Tony is the central character. But there could also be other characters like his business partners who might be involved in his 'Merchant of Death' activities, either helping or hindering him. There could also be some love interests for Tony, which could add a romantic sub - plot to the fanfiction.
Perhaps it's a story set in a post - apocalyptic world. Harry and Tony Merchant were trying to survive. They got into a conflict with a brutal gang. During the fight, Merchant got fatally injured. Harry then had to carry on with Merchant's unfinished business and seek revenge.
Yes, there are quite a few. Some might explore the concept of Death having an unusual attraction to Tony Stark in a very dark and complex way, often delving into themes of sacrifice and the afterlife.
Obviously, Harry and Tony Merchant are the main characters. Harry could be a heroic type, with special abilities or skills. Tony Merchant might be a more complex character, perhaps a bit of a rogue but with a good heart.
One possible plot could be that Harry and Tony are both merchants in a dangerous world. Master is a powerful figure who controls the market. Death starts to target the merchants due to some ancient curse. Harry and Tony must team up, using their skills as merchants to find a way to break the curse and avoid death, while also dealing with Master's underhanded attempts to take over their businesses.
The plot could involve Tony starting to sell his high - tech weapons to the highest bidders without considering the consequences. He might get involved with some shady underworld characters who are interested in using his weapons for their own evil purposes, like starting wars or assassinations.
