Robin's Choice

by Strangerine

Robin made his decision. He left behind one woman in pursuit of another, and now is trying to defend the only family he has left. But fate is not kind to Oberon's jester. He will lose everything, and must join the fight to make or break an empire. Sequel to Puck's Journey. Cover Art belongs to lingy-0 @ Deviant Art.

13. The End!

Well, that's the last chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed reading, 'cause I enjoyed writing it. There will be no further Robin and Capala stories (as far as I know) and no further Iron Fey stories (as far as I know). The reason I wrote these two fics is because I wanted to give Puck a story all his own, to give him a world where he was loved and accepted, not just a love interest for Meghan. I wanted him to be happy. And I think I achieved that.

Earlier in the story, a long time ago back when "Puck's Journey" was still in it's first draft, I had this idea that the story was going to be meta. I thought he'd realise he was in a book, or rather a fic, and that he'd choose to make his own decisions and make his own life, and not just be told to fall in love with Meghan and be unhappy forever. I kind of kept that element through the whole story as I worked through the different drafts, with Grimalkin leaving all these weird clues that he was 'special' in some way.

The point of it all was supposed to be that Julie Kagawa gave him life, but didn't necessarily make him all that he could be, but that there were hundreds of different worlds where he became a different person each time, each of those different worlds being a fanfiction. Honestly, I'm still not sure if it's a brilliant idea or an idiotic one, but I'm curious what you guys thought, now that it's been explained (sort of.) Do you guys know what I mean? Do you like it? Do you think I should have left it in or out? Feel free to give me feedback.

In any case. I doubt I'll have any Iron Fey stories in future, but I might do an occasional drabble here and there if I get a good idea. For now, I'm going to work on some Frozen and Walking Dead stuff, among other things. If you're into some fandoms I do (they're all listed in my Beta Profile; side note, I work as a Beta) and you like my writing, follow me! I might do some stories for your fandoms, I might be willing to do some collabs, and I might be willing to do some requests. Who knows?

But at the end of the day, I just hope you enjoyed reading and had fun with my story. I have been Strangerine, you have been amazing, and I'll see you in the next fic. :)
