Whoever came up with this trope honestly deserves an award... every single one of them manages to do something different, and most of them are hilarious!
This is the worst timeline by Hittinmiss (6.6k)
this fic is absolutely hysterical from start to finish, with cameos from almost all of the Avengers and a (let's be honest) realistic number of vine references.
Mr Stark Enough For You? (another field trip fic bcs we dont have enough) by Livinei (7k)
this is one of my all time favourite field trip fics... the relationship with tony & peter is just written so perfectly and it is so sweet!

The Field Trip by DJ_unicornsgr8 (8.6k)
i think the tag "Flash has no sense of self preservation" sums this entire fic up pretty well!
Definitely Worth It by jennylarner (16k)
Peter is not having a good day in this, but it is so worth it, exactly as the title says!
from your perspective, the world is flat by blueh (18k)
this fic has a lot more peril than most of them do, and i would say it's probably it's the different to the rest of the fics... but it is written amazingly, and i just love all of the characters in this!
so...that's all of them. if you have any fic suggestions or you want me to make a specific fic rec list, feel free to ask! and, as always, thank you to all the wonderful authors for writing and sharing all of these :D
The thing is, with our skeletons the way they are, humans can bend. We make a point of becoming more flexible, bending this way and that and sometimes it for sure can look like we’ve got no structure. A lot of alien races are fascinated with how we move and bend because sometimes its so fluid.
Especially in fights.
They see us thrown against walls, flying through the air, our limbs bending in, what to us is unnatural ways, but the aliens don’t know we aren’t supposed to do that. To them, we seem like ragdolls, our bodies flopping and waving all over the place. They’re not gentle with us, throwing us over their shoulders in the rush to retreat and get back to the base, and even when not in a fight, they tend to throw us around with wild abandon (its usually no big deal, most humans think its hilarious and fun and no one really minds.)
And then they find out about our bones.
Its a quiet, tense moment. A team had been dispatched to ‘ease the switch in political leaders’ on one of the more difficult inner planets and the current monarch was not having it. In a final attempt to keep control, the monarch had thought using one of the humans on the team as a hostage was a good idea. They’re holding the human in a way that would look painful, arm twisting too far and the monarch is shouting, demanding that they be left in control. The others on the team are just grinning because if the monarch is threatening to break the human, they’re in for a big surprise. Humans don’t have a structure. They flop around as they please, held steady as simply a mass of meat!
The monarch, it seems, doesn’t like to be laughed at. The pull, and twist and-
SSS-NAP
And the human is screaming, their face contorted in pain. The monarch jerks the arm around. An audible -pop- fills the room, and the team hear it just over the screams of their friend. Then comes the other arm -SNAP- and the leg -CRACK-
The human is bent, but…its in a way that the others have seen often and isn’t that…isn’t that fine? Aren’t they supposed to do that? What was that horrible snap? As it turns out, one can’t hear very well the snapping of bones in the pandemonium of battle.
Everyone’s a bit quiet, struck by the shouts of pain and sobs coming from their human before finally, mercifully, they pass out. Then all hell breaks loose. The rest of the team dispatch the monarch with unusual ease and entirely too quickly. Then, as gently and slowly as they can, they pick up the human. The angles of their limbs look sickening to them now, and they bring them back to the base where, for once, they actually stay in the medical bay to watch them be patched up and their bones reset.
From then on, they are much more careful with their human companion and feel the proper amount of horror and concern upon seeing them thrown about in a fight. Still, it takes some time to convince them that yoga is an alright thing to do and that no, Susan is a contortionist, her body CAN do that.
Thanks for the tag @chopper-base

IS THIS SHOW ABOUT KINDNESS? I'M SO HAPPY.
Vero and Butch were both deathworlders. Different species and different deathworlders, but still. I was instructed not to let them meet, but how could I resist?
I stood there while they spoke, getting very excited about all their similarities. The shared experiences they had and the similar stories of horror.
I was becoming more and more uncomfortable the more they spoke. They habited planets where one had to pick which natural disaster they were the most comfortable with. Children learned at young ages to keep their favorite things close for quick packing. They desensitized themselves to the disasters they grew up with, to the point where they no longer feared them.
When they began discussing their histories, I grew nauseous. I created an excuse to end the conversation. Vero left with me, and Butch went elsewhere.
“Thank you. I’m not sure how much more I could have taken,” Vero said.
“What? I thought you two were getting along great?” I asked.
“We were. Until I asked how his people adapted to their environments. He said ingenuity. That’s not an answer, and it’s certainly no safeguard. My people created bio enhancements. His people just, grew more stubborn. It’s terrifying.”
So even deathworlders are scared of humans. How interesting.
I am so surprised at how well this came out. Trash can was surprisingly easy to work with.
If you like your story, then that’s a good enough reason to write it. If you like the plot twist, the character, the trope, then that’s more than enough of a reason to write it. It’s your story, your own little world, and what matters most is that it’s a story you love.

Rex: *standing there with adolescent monkey Ahsoka on his shoulder, quietly grooming his non existent hair*
Anakin: *comes over and looks at everyone for a long moment* Why is Echo crying?
Echo: *feeding bat Fives some watermelon*
Fives: *wrapped up like a burrito in a soft bat blankie while monching and cronching his noms*
Rex: Have you SEEN Fives eat watermelon? It’s cute. I cry sometimes too.
Anakin: *goes over to watch Fives eat his noms* Oh… oh no… they’re right…
Anakin: *turns back to look at Ahsoka* Hey! Why aren’t you cute like that? I watched you shove an entire banana in your mouth this morning, that wasn’t cute! Be cute!
Ahsoka: *fake sadness, hiding her laughing little monkey face in Rex’s neck*
Rex, upon mistaking that for real sadness: *holding her little body close, very protective* First of all, how DARE you-
