I wondered if I could hold it
And fall in love with it too
You told me to buy a pony
But all I wanted was you

IMPORTANT: There's a hidden collapsible with a little after credits scene in the large space at the very end.

So. Here we are.

This once had a big ol' fight. Then I realized I didn't want this to have one of them, and it… became much more personal.

It… It feels weird to have finished something I've spend hundreds of hours on on almost a daily basis over the last year, but… it's done. 330 days and 70 745 words later, it's done.

Some might like the way it has ended, some might not. That's fine. I'm immensely happy with how the series turned out and love every single piece I've produced for it since the last year.

Special thanks to Jasiu06 | R4_EX | redredred | Phantom8 | b4sic | LORDXVNV for giving this finale a look before I posted. Oh, and the title is obviously inspired by the title of Neon Genesis Evangelion's final episode.

But, an even bigger thank you to you, the readers: I wouldn't be here without any of you. Thank you for coming along with me on this wonderful journey. I don't think words can say just how much it means for me.

It has truly been a pleasure.

This is beautiful. Holy shit man, this is rellay beautiful. I have so many emotions rn, and like holy shit, how do you keep making such good work after another? Man, this entire tale hurts, and is beautiful at the same time. Might be one of mine favourite works of yours again. I seriously didn't expect to come here after starting to read the series back at the end of August out of curiosity of what to expect, and now I sit here like the movie's ending in theatre, and holy damn. You really made my day, even though it is ending. I hope your work quality won't fade with time.

Some really, really gorgeous imagery in here dude. You've outdone yourself. Congratulations on accomplishing your sprawling epic, you should be very proud indeed.

Extremely good finale. I love that this wasn't some big battle but a more emotional one. This was really good and deserves every last upvote.

Amazing story!

This was an amazing canon that you wrote! It’s probably one of my favorites. You did an amazing job with fleshing out these characters as well as the world building and lore. How you managed to include both Fae and Children of the Night into the lore of this story is probably my favorite aspect, as Fae and Children of the Night are two of my favorite topics in SCP. I also love the idea you implemented where there are not only Fae communities still on Earth and in Three Portland “Free Ports”, but also Fae that still have names unlike the nameless in SCP-4000 “honestly at this point someone should make a tag just for normal Fae instead of just being one for Nameless Fae”. The whole thing with the lore around the two deities “Father and The Beast” was really creative and implemented very well into the story. I honestly would love it if you would fully explain these two deities and their origin since they sound so fascinating.

I’m also happy that you gave Natalie somewhat of a happy ending, as she was finally able to rest after all the suffering she went through. I also liked how you had Daniel also bury Nowak. While he was a psycho and a manipulator, in the end you can’t deny he did have righteous intentions, even if he was likely unaware of the danger of his actions. Plus Daniel couldn’t deny that Nowak was in a sense a part of him and that in the end even he deserved peace. Then that hidden section…straight up hilarious!

All in all, this was an amazing canon you wrote! I hope to see you make more canons like this in the future.

One thing: What exactly happened to the fedora dude? Unless I missed something he just disappears from the plot after 6120.

Otherwise pretty great piece.

honestly? he originally appeared in the finale and fought asheworth in a final duel, but then i cut it entirely and forgot to mention him. just edited what happened to him in back in.

I am so glad that I’ve finally finished this series. I could feel how much love was put into every part of this story, and I really felt that love by the end of it. This is beautiful.
