It's been a very long time, but Wayward Son is still continuing. Here's chapter 72, posted last month, and 73, posted just now!

And with the publication of 73...it's official. Wayward Son has broken 1 million words! :D :D :D It's not quite done yet, though it is nearing completion, but I'd like to thank the folks on Serenes Forest for their time and patience is reading this fic. I love all of you guys <3

Well, this is it. As I've said on a bunch of forums, after 9 years and 1 million words, Wayward Son is finally complete. Here are the last three chapters:

Here's also a little present for you. A friend of mine, Databunny (databunny.tumblr.com) drew several pictures to me, and I set them to music (the ED of Armored Trooper VOTOMs) to serve as sort of an ending credits to my fic, if it were an anime. Hope you enjoy:

If you'd forgive the indulgence, allow me to say a few words.

As I've also mentioned elsewhere, completing Wayward Son will also mark the end, probably, of my time in the FE fandom. Please don't take this as a knock against Serenes Forest, or the FE fandom generally! I've had a truly great time here. Now, obviously, there's a lot of stuff I would change if I could go through it all over again. I've made more than my share of mistakes, engaged in all kinds of foolishness. But on balance, my time among the Fire Emblem fans has been *overwhelmingly* positive. I met so many amazing people, learned so many amazing things, and generally grew a great deal as a person, across FESS, the FE forums on FFn, and of course Serenes Forest. Even so, it's been years (well over a decade if you count from when I first joined FESS rather than starting Wayward Son), and I'm not as into FE as I used to be. So I think it's best I moved on. But maybe not permanently, though. If an FE game comes out that really captivates me, or if I decide to finish up "A Puppet's History," I'll be back :D

Until then, thanks so much for your support, everyone. I know this topic hasn't gotten a lot of replies, but it's gotten a *ton* of views. I'm really grateful to everyone who's read my work--I know you've been with me in spirit, and that's all that matters. Thanks again <3

Oh my god, it's actually finished

thank you so much for a great and emotional read. This is easily the best fanfic of Fire Emblem I've seen and read, as well as one of the greatest stories in the fandom, IMO

EDIT: Like holy shit that ending, man

Reread it and I'm still stunned by how well delivered it was

Not crying, but seriously, my hearts definitely is tellin me to

Man, I wonder how I've missed this gem for so long. I remember seeing this topic since I was in the forums, and then 2 years later I decided to give it a try and... It is a nice story, so far. I'm on chapter 5 and reading.

I'd say it is on par with Queen of Sorrow on quality. Don't diminish your own merits! And I'll be looking forward other of your works related to FE as well.
