Redemption is a common theme. Since Tony gets a second chance, he often tries to fix his past wrongs, whether it was a mistake in a relationship or a strategic error. Another theme is self - discovery. Through time travel, he gets to see different versions of himself and understand who he really is.
One popular 'Tony time travel second chance fanfiction' is 'A Second Chance in Time'. It has an interesting plot where Tony gets to go back and fix some of his past mistakes. He uses his knowledge from the future to make different choices, which changes the course of events in a really exciting way.
The theme of changing fate is also prevalent. Naruto tries to change the destinies of his friends and the whole shinobi world. He doesn't want to see the same tragedies occur again. Also, self - discovery is a theme. As he changes things, he also discovers new aspects of himself and his capabilities. He might realize he could have been a better leader earlier if he had known certain things.
In this type of fanfiction, a frequent plot is Naruto traveling back to the time when Orochimaru was still a threat. He could use his knowledge of Orochimaru's plans to stop him before he became too powerful. He might also be able to save some of Orochimaru's victims, like the people he experimented on. Another plot is Naruto going back to the time when Pain attacked the village. He could come up with a better strategy to defeat Pain and save more of the villagers. And sometimes, the plot involves Naruto using his second chance to understand the secrets of the tailed beasts earlier and form a stronger bond with Kurama.
One popular second chance time travel novel is 'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon. It follows a World War II nurse who travels back in time to 18th - century Scotland.
One characteristic is the chance for the protagonist to correct past mistakes. For example, in 'Re:Zero', Subaru can learn from his previous failures and try to change the outcome. Another is the exploration of new worlds. Since they are time - traveling, often to a different world, like in 'The Devil is a Part - Timer!', they get to experience new cultures and magic systems. Also, character growth is a big part. They start with their old selves but through the second chance, they develop into stronger, wiser characters.
Another one is 'Naruto's Second Chance at Life'. Here, Naruto is given a second chance and he decides to focus on training earlier and building stronger relationships. The story delves into his character development as he tries to become a better shinobi while also changing the fates of his friends. It's a really engaging read with a lot of heart.
One interesting plot could be Tony Stark getting a second chance to prevent the Snap. He might use his genius in a different way this time, perhaps by creating a more powerful shield around the Earth to stop Thanos from getting the Stones. Another could be him having a second chance at his relationship with Pepper, fixing all the mistakes he made before.
The main character is Tony Stark. In many of these fanfictions, Jarvis (or his later forms like Friday) can be a significant character. Since Jarvis was always with Tony in his tech - filled world, in a second - chance story, Jarvis could provide different kinds of advice or assistance. Additionally, villains from the Marvel universe might also be involved if the story is about Tony getting a second chance to defeat them more effectively.
One popular 'second chance time travel light novel' is 'Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World'.

And 'KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!' also involves characters in a new world with some elements of starting anew and time - travel - like situations.
