Fusion and Iron

Reader's Final Thoughts

Well, there it is, the end of the fic! Wow, I never thought I'd get this far.

I will be taking a break for the time being for writing big fics like these just so I can prepare myself for the next one, since I really got hooked on working on this storyline. At first, it was just a vent for getting some old nostalgia off my chest, but it looks like it's developing into something fully-fledged and I'm all for it. In the meantime, I'll be dropping a couple chapters here and there for the in-betweens as a little bit of content, so be on the lookout and check out my page for when it drops.

Again, mostly the In-Betweens is content I wanted to add to the fic but never got around to doing. Mostly it'll be like sides of Niles I didn't explore as much, dialogue between characters which would've felt too long or redundant to the story, and so on.

The characters I picked to be the main ones, including important ones, were all from shows I remembered fondly as a kid. I did the most research by looking at their wikis, watching their shows, and interpreting how other people wrote them to get a feel for how I could implement them. Of course, it's a little different since everyone is older, but that doesn't change much.

Additionally, I will be rewriting the first ten chapters and add an author's note here once it's done.

There will be some other stuff in the next fic like:

* Niles and Ben Tennyson working together to solve some problems, and honestly become bros.

* The Battle of the Cul-de-sac.

* The prophecy fully revealed.

* A war arc as Lord Fuse himself gets involved now against the heroes.

* Exploring Niles' romantic side with the Powerpuff Girls.

* The Project Exonaut suit 'Iron Titan' finally being used.

So the point of this fic was to establish our protagonist Niles, following his story and transferring from the doomed timeline and into the new one. In the next one, it's going to focus a little more on the world and the overall invasion with Fuse as a whole. Technically we did touch up on it in this one, but we focused moreso on Niles' perspective. We're still going to in the next, but this time it'll be Niles jumping around from place to place and really exploring the Fusionfall world altogether.

Since it's over, I've been meaning to ask you readers a question I've been holding onto for some time. Knowing about everything he's accomplished, his abilities, and his goals, what do you think? If you had to choose one, do you think that Niles is still a soldier, or do you think he's a hero?
Let me know what your thoughts were on this fic, and anything you'd like to see. I'm always down for unique ideas and concepts you'd like to see in the future. Or, if you want to leave it all to me, that's okay too! As long as you enjoy it, I'm all for it.

I wanted to thank you again for taking the time to read my fan fiction, and I hope you stick around for the next project

Iron and Glory.

The first few chapters have been rewritten or reformatted, since not all of them needed to be re-written! On top of that, all chapters have been adjusted for easier reading experience.
