History Fanfic / BreakingTheDeal

Written in response to ComicBook/OneMoreDay, ''Breaking the Deal'' is Creator/{{NKSCF}}'s way of showing what should have happened to ComicBook/SpiderMan after the derailment of his characterization that led to Comicbook/MaryJaneWatson and him giving away their marriage to Comicbook/{{Mephisto}}, Marvel's closest analogue to the Devil. Ten chapters, one epilogue, and one Q & A session long, the story follows Spider-Man as he figures out that he sold away his marriage to Mephisto thanks to the intervention of the former Dr. Strange and current Sorcerer Supreme Dr. Voodoo, as his allies work on a way to give him a chance to restore reality to its proper place. Mephisto, meanwhile, has used the deal as a means of gaining power and is now working on a way to control the entire multiverse, and has kidnapped Mary Jane as a means of making sure Spider-Man can't stop him before he succeeds in taking over all of reality. Going out alone into Mephisto's dimension, Spider-Man does whatever it takes to get her back and restore reality to its proper state.

* [[spoiler:AvengersAssemble]]: [[spoiler:Spider-Man gets to say the line once the gathered group of every hero he has ever worked with has arrived to help him rescue Mary Jane from Mephisto.]]

Written by a continuity buff, especially of the old Marvel Team-Up series, ''Breaking the Deal'' is a FixFic premise and attempts to show the consequences for the incident that needs fixing.

* AuthorAppeal: The author flat out [[WordofGod admits]] that he loves BigDamnHeroes moments, the original run of Marvel Team-Up, and Spider-Man in general.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Just about every single hero in Marvel either appears or is mentioned here.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Used to describe the transition from the Deadpool scene to the more serious parts of the last battle.

* OneOfUs: NKSCF is an unabashed lover of Spider-Man, comics in general, and is a member of Wiki/TVTropes under the same name he uses to write his fan-fics. The fact that he wrote this fic proves that he hates OMD as bad as most of us here.

* LoveItOrHateIt:[[invoked]] Some of the scenes near the end that showcase {{Deadpool}} and his usual goofiness. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in story by the author.

------------------

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: On his way to [[spoiler:victory over Mephisto]], Spider-Man lets out a subsequent TakeThat and CrowningMomentOfAwesome at once:

* [[spoiler:SequelHook]]: [[spoiler:NKSCF deliberately left one with Mephisto plotting his revenge against Spider-Man for making him lose his powers, which, along with the fact that N'astirh promised revenge as well, and now Spider-Man is in a new continuity with his marriage restored, leaves many possibilities open for new stories. [[WordOfGod Confirmed by NKSCF.]]]]

* TakeThat: Despite [[WordofGod saying]] that he enjoys some of the stories that have come about as a result of ComicBook/OneMoreDay, NKSCF has also called out the writers for their mishandling of the deal with Mephisto, the personality changes of some of the more well-beloved characters from the series, as well as some lighthearted shots at UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} {{Superman}}'s powers, such as super-ventriloquism.

* [[spoiler:Doctor Doom]]: [[spoiler:One of many individuals that come to save Spider-Man, but he claims that he's only in it to get back at Mephisto for manipulating him during the events of ComicBook/OneMoreDay, and not allowing him full control of his own mind.]]

* ShoutOut: Many, including to Creator/MontyPython, DCComics, and past Marvel story lines.

* GenreSavvy: Spider-Man has been doing the same job for years, and can call out the different tropes he encounters just as easily as spouting out his trademarked banter.

* TheDeterminator: As befits his nature, Spider-Man uses his natural resolve and will to defeat [[spoiler:N'astirh, Blackheart, and even Mephisto. In fact his inability to accept defeat almost caused him to be killed slowly and painfully by Hybrid, but he was weak from defeating Blackheart at the time and was saved thanks to the intervention of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, SelfDemonstrating/DoctorDoom, ComicBook/RomSpaceKnight, Elixir and Comicbook/GhostRider.]]

* BigBad: Mephisto, naturally, because this fic is about undoing OneMoreDay.

* [[spoiler:DoctorDoom]]: [[spoiler:One of many individuals that come to save Spider-Man, but he claims that he's only in it to get back at Mephisto for manipulating him during the events of OneMoreDay, and not allowing him full control of his own mind.]]

* OneMoreDay: Displayed as a means for Mephisto to [[spoiler:gain immense power due to taking something so pure--the Parker's marriage--which almost succeeds in giving him the chance to take over the entire multiverse. It also provides a means to get rid of Peter and Mary Jane's future daughter, who is destined to become the Sorcerer Supreme that eliminates him for good.]]

* OutOfCharacterMoment: The events of ''OneMoreDay'' are explained as Mephisto deliberately messing with the minds of Spider-Man and everyone he sought out for help when he tried to save Aunt May. Needless to say, none of the characters effected are happy to have acted that way.

* TakeThat: Despite [[WordofGod saying]] that he enjoys some of the stories that have come about as a result of OneMoreDay, NKSCF has also called out the writers for their mishandling of the deal with Mephisto, the personality changes of some of the more well-beloved characters from the series, as well as some lighthearted shots at SilverAge {{Superman}}'s powers, such as super-ventriloquism.

* CurbStompBattle: When Prowler and Rocket Racer attempt to save Mary Jane from N'astirh, this is what happens. The scene was compared by one reviewer like this: "It's like sending Crimson Avenger and Speedy against {{Darkseid}}."
