Fanfics with their own pages (listed in chronological order from their first publication):

Tropes used by this author include:

  • Adaptational Badass: Want to identify who's going to be the Crossover Villain-in-Chief of the fanfic? Check which one of the villain groups whose power level in canon is less than the one in the fanfic.
  • April Fools' Day: He commissioned framraw to draw this picture here, as an April Fool’s Day joke.
  • Author Catchphrase: He loves to reuse a lot of lines and dialogue concepts across his fanfics with some variations. Notable examples include:
  • Big Badass Battle Sequence: There's at least one of these in all of his primary series. Most of the time, it serves as the midpoint, but other times, it's how the story opens.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Serves as an indicator as to which of the two franchises in a crossover has a bit more dominance in terms of lore, characters, and worldbuilding.
  • Charge-into-Combat Cut: It's not uncommon for both sides of a faction to charge at each other before cutting away to a different fight or other important scene happening simultaneously, then eventually cutting back to the prior fight still in progress to see the important bits.
  • Crossover: The general form of Iron117Prime fics. His most preferred franchises to work with revolve around Anime & Manga, Western Animation, Animated Films, and Video Games, though if some of them have tie-in comics, he'll add to that as well.
  • Crossover Power Acquisition: The Crossover Villain-in-Chief of the fanfic will employ this 99% of the time to the other side that's less fortunate. And at times, the heroes will have to do this as well.
    • Frozen Turtles: Lampshaded in the first fic when part of the Shredder's plan is to obtain Elsa's powers for himself. By Into the Unknown, the Shredder has gained his own set of ice powers, putting him a bit on par with Elsa and the Turtles.
    • Tangled With Ninja: Downplayed in that the Overlord doesn't exactly gain new powers from the world of Tangled, but the way he gets his former power back is through the use of Rapunzel's innate magic, which is able to "bring back what once was mine".
    • Code Prime: When Megatron learns of the existence of Geass, he first has Shockwave examine the data he collected from Prince Clovis' Code R secret project. Then, after capturing Mao and later V.V., Shockwave is able to produce a liquid vial of Mao's Geass and V.V.'s code, and when Megatron infuses it with Dark Energon, he then uses the mixture to give himself a Dark Geass.
    • J-WITCH Series: Downplayed once more, in that Shendu still has his same powers as he had during the canonical show, but the way he manages to return is using Elyon's power.
    • Averted in A Red Rose in the Blue Wind. Ozpin tries and fails to awaken Sonic's Aura, even though he can tell that Sonic does have a soul, and after that, they pretty much stop trying. Of course, it's not like Sonic and the others really need Aura with their existing abilities.
      • Downplayed with Omega and Tails, who integrate Dust into their arsenal and the Cyclone respectively, giving them a broader selection of weapons.
  • Crossover Villain-in-Chief: His fanfics tend to have only one villain faction come out as the primary villain during the latter parts of the story.
    • Frozen Turtles: The 2012 Shredder proves himself as the more formidable villain, outright killing Hans (having also terrified him) and growing obsessed with obtaining Elsa's power. By Into the Unknown, he's effectively gained ice powers of his own and, once again, becomes the most dominant force everyone has to face.
    • Tangled with Ninja: The Overlord becomes the main antagonist after he resurrects Mother Gothel so he can gain Rapunzel's power to restore himself to his former glory. When Gothel attempts to go after Rapunzel on her own, the Overlord is less than happy and instills a huge amount of fear in her. Throughout the story, the Overlord keeps Gothel on a leash to the point that when he returns to his peak power level, he "leashes" the villainess to his own power, meaning that she will die when he dies. Which is what actually happens (only Kai was the one to land the killing blow).
    • Avengers of the Multi-verse: General Modula is the head of the Cabal and the one who brought all the villains together and makes the plans to beat the Avengers. However, it's a tenuous position at best, as all the other villains include the likes of Vilgax, Vlad Plasmius, Van Kleiss, and the Dark Dragon, who are predictably vying for some leverage over each other for when the heroes are defeated.
    • Worlds Collide (TMNT): The 2003 Shredder quickly establishes himself as the more formidable villain. Right when he encounters Aang, he brutalizes the young hero in a complete Curb-Stomp Battle. Later on, he exterminates Long Feng and the Dai Li in order to keep his position and prevent any usurpers from undermining his schemes. On the Day of the Black Sun he launches Operation Dragon Slayer, in which he kills Ozai, orders the Foot Clan to dispose of the War Council, and effectively drains the Fire Nation's resources to unleash Sozin's Comet like an extinction-level asteroid impact. Even Azula is terrified by him, so much that when she learns of Ozai's death by his hand, she loses it and hands it to the heroes to finish him off.
    • Fairy May Cry: By being the Greater-Scope Villain of the fanfic, Mundus has taken this position, though not as much as the others as the likes of Zeref and Acnologia are technically against him for their own reasons and don't even entertain the idea of a team-up with Zeref outright declaring war on him near the end of the first story. He's the one who provides Zeref's immortality curse and coerces Precht to turn to the dark side, and his agent/herald Nelo Angelo is working to instigate a demonic invasion of Edolas. He isn't as directly active as some of the other villains listed here due to being stuck in the Underworld, though the impact he has on the story is measurable by those characters and their deeds.
    • Code Prime: Megatron is bar-none the biggest threat for the Autobots and the Black Knights to deal with. He's responsible for the problems plaguing Earth as he served as a mentor to Charles zi Britannia during the latter's childhood, allowing him to rise to power and become Emperor of Britannia. Megatron fully cements this by killing Charles and sacking Pendragon because he was disappointed about Charles' ulterior motive in the Ragnarok Connection. This effectively decapitates Britannia, and the Decepticons emerge as the predominant villains of the entire series.
    • J-WITCH Series: Daolon Wong and Tarakudo are advisors to Phobos, but they prove to be far more vile than he could imagine. Then Wong brings back Shendu for him to take the helm...for a grand total of a chapter, but still kills Cedric and nearly kills Miranda.
      • Though it should be noted that unlike Hans, Gothel, Ozai, or Charles, Phobos manages to survive (albeit depowered).
      • Season 2: Nerissa succeeds the helm after Wong, Tarakudo, and Shendu, leading the Knights of Vengeance (whose ranks include Drago, Hak Foo, and the Ice Gang) into gaining revenge against Team J-WITCH.
  • Doorstopper: Tends to have fics on the longer side, especially in terms of a series.
    • The Frozen Turtles series is at a total of 525,815 words.
    • As of May 1, 2023, Fairy May Cry has a combined total (both the first and Devil's Retribution) of 1,216,788 words.
    • As of May 1, 2023, Code Prime has a combined total of 1,041,786 words.
  • Experienced Protagonist: The common dynamic between the two main protagonists of the franchises that are being crossed over tends to be between this and the more "inexperienced" one.
  • Fix Fic: Starting with Code Prime if one of the franchises in a crossover is particularly divisive in terms of its elements, the author will try to fix those elements using various concepts, such as the other franchise's worldbuilding.
  • Formula with a Twist: While fics like Worlds Collide did the post- "major villain kills minor villain" plot beat, the core of the endgame remains the same (the heroes must still defeat a major villain to save their world). Code Prime establishes that the post-midpoint plot, though still following some similar beats here and there, would ultimately establish a very different endgame.
    • The J-WITCH Series is notable for actually having not one, but three Crossover Villains-in-Chief. First comes Daolon Wong, an advisor who serves as the driving force behind Prince Phobos' darkest behaviour. Then Wong is usurped by Shendu, the Disc-One Final Boss, who kills Cedric and incapacitates Miranda and Phobos, until he's sealed back in a statue...in the same chapter he makes his moves. By Season 2, the source franchise of the main villain flips and Nerissa takes the helm.
    • A Red Rose in the Blue Wind is shaping up to be this with regards to its supposed Crossover Villain-in-Chief (or lack thereof). It's much, much harder to tell who's the major villain in this series, as both factions (Eggman's and Salem's) are just as competent of overthrowing the other.
  • Franchise Codifier: Frozen Turtles initiates many of the most common themes, motifs, character archetypes, and plot beats that many of his works will follow.
  • Game Changer: One of the sides of the crossover manages to arrive onto the scene and cause a huge shakeup in the other side's status quo. As it is slightly traversing through The Stations of the Canon, the larger groups and elements in play ultimately shuffle the story to its core, and the results can be devastating to say the least.
  • An Ice Person: More or less stemming from Elsa (who served as one-half of his first fic's protagonists), characters with Ice powers seem to be rather prevalent in said fics, most notably Zane, Gray Fullbuster, Sapphire, Katara, Blitzwing, Strikemaster Ice, and Weiss Schnee.
  • La Résistance: A lot of major groups in the various fanfics tend to feature underdogs or rebels battling against a greater evil. Notable examples include Edolas Fairy Tail, Team Avatar, the Black Knights, and the Rebellion against Phobos.
  • Katanas Are Just Better: At least one major character in each of their works has one, either as in canon or they get one later on in each story, including Vergil, Caleb, Bumblebee and both versions of Leonardo.
  • Master of Disguise: Anyone who has this ability regardless of alignment (mostly evil though) will usually bring about a large change in the story's progression.
    • Fairy May Cry: In Devil's Retribution, Imitatia fulfills her role as a member of the Order of the Sword, posing as Michelle Lobster to infiltrate Fairy Tail's ranks from within. It's later revealed that she's the (unintentional) killer of Jude Heartfilia: Lucy's father.
    • Code Prime: Makeshift disguises himself as Wheeljack and attempts to infiltrate the Ark, which is the base of operations of the Autobots and Black Knights. Though he dies after the ordeal, the Decepticons learn that they are based on the Ark, though they haven't been able to find it until R2. Not only that, but his remains are later used to create a Pretender drone to pose as Euphemia and kickstart an orchestrated version of the SAZ Massacre, which forms the initial part of the Decepticons' successful plans to destroy Britannia.
    • J-WITCH Series: Cedric poses as a librarian trying to lure Elyon into the clutches of Prince Phobos. When he and Elyon both meet, he tells her about her true nature, background, and powers. He's part of the reason the climax even happens despite the actions the protagonist take against him, successfully bringing in Elyon to the prince. He's also continuously relevant; serving as The Dragon to Phobos and even plans of scheming against him, however, he meets his end before the events of Season 2 by Shendu's hands.
  • Men Are the Expendable Gender: Downplayed in his works, as both male and female villains and heroes are prone to dying at equal circumstances, but if there is a character that's going to be Spared by the Adaptation, that character is most likely to be female; male characters may end up having their fates unchanged or even killed when they're still alive in the home series.
  • The Rant: The notes for each chapter can go on a bit about what he thought was "wrong" with canon.
  • Recurring Element
    • One villain or villain faction will be glorified over the other villain faction (though this isn't due to favoritism but rather backed up). The said villain/faction may usurp the other villains during the later acts, forcing the heroes to step up their game. One way to establish this? The more foreign hero will remark something along the lines of, "If you trust villain A, you will regret it".
    • If there's any Noble Demon within the villain's ranks, expect them to immediately jump ship around the latter part of the story. Even if they didn't properly do so in the original series (Dreadwing), or took too long to do so (2003!Karai).
    • A usually-female high-ranking general note  of one of the villain faction's ranks, especially one that's hard to defeat in their home series, is taken out by another group of heroes in their first big battle against them, especially in a Curb-Stomp Battle. There's also the good chance they too switch sides.
    • The Eviler than Thou villain usually unleashes a Curb-Stomp Battle the first time they fight a new group of heroes. Justified due to that side lacking proper experience or foreknowledge regarding the latter's abilities.
    • Usually neutral characters will mostly take the good side of the conflict, aligning with their friends. Most notably Alchemy in J-WITCH Series and Shirley Fenette in Code Prime.
    • There's at least one member of the supporting cast who states their desire to do more for their respective group, wishing they could contribute more to the heroes' cause.
    • Most of the primary villain factions employ Sun Tzu-esque distraction tactics, all of which have been very successful. Results of these plans included the success of returning to prime power to destroying entire nations and empires.
    • Several protagonists will end up doing a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown against particular antagonists that has them utter statements that denote why every attack is dedicate to them.
    • Expect either hero or villain to at least toss one "The Reason You Suck" Speech before the fanfic even ends, though there's prone to be a lot of these.
    • The story starts out with quite a handful of protagonists and antagonists only to start involving even more characters from the series later on.
    • Much of the villains in the fics are themed after spiders.
    • If there is any character (either protagonist or antagonist, but mostly the latter) with the ability to become anyone at will, they usually have some of the biggest roles in the biggest plot points in the story, dead or alive.
    • As stated before, there's going to be a good amount of characters whose preferred weapons are katanas.
    • Serving as a throwback to Frozen Turtles, his first fic, there's also a frequent occurnce of characters with ice powers.
  • Reference Overdosed: Starting with Code Prime, if one of the featured franchises is a particular Long Runner, it's going to toss in tons of both intentional and unintentional Mythology Gags and Shout-Outs to as much of the source material as possible, from the most well-known to even the most obscure. It can even be found not just as throwaway lines and the like, but whole plots and characterization as well.
  • Signature Style: Grandiose action-oriented crossover fusion fics, with numerous characters complemented with strong Character Development, visionary villains with extremely evil plans, large-scale battles, and a hefty dose of drama. Not to mention how he writes villains; typical power-hungry warlords (or the like) with a strong group of followers and a rather strong threat level. When the crossover starts with two villain factions, only one will become the dominant faction, and the other will either submit to them or die. This in turn forces the heroes to upend their game for the new antagonist. The only significant flaw in his style is his slight tendency for telling instead of showing, but the story comes together right from the big picture. Oh, and expect at least one Big Badass Battle Sequence before the story ends.
    • The fics are also peppered with various Fix Fic tropes as well, maximizing the use of various universes' respective world-building to fix other problems in other universes and their plotlines.
    • Beginning with Code Prime, in the event that one of the franchises involved is a Long Runner, the fic is going to both directly and indirectly reference as much of the source material as possible.
  • Spiders Are Scary: Much of his major fics have spider-themed villainesses, such as Asmodeua, Airachnid, and Miranda.
  • Spiritual Antithesis:
    • According to Iron117Prime, J-WITCH was inspired by Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters. Both stories are similar, with them both being Jackie Chan Adventures/ W.I.T.C.H. crossovers where the characters are put in more realistic situations. However, both stories go in different directions at multiple points.
      • Both stories are Fusion Fics, but Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters is more of a literal example where the Book of Ages fuses the two shows' realities together, while J-WITCH's world is shown to have always been as it is.
      • J-WITCH is mostly Lighter and Softer, though at some times showing dark and realistic moments. Meanwhile, Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters is completely Darker and Edgier, with more dark moments as the characters deal with the horrors of war and killing.
      • In Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters, Prince Phobos was given Adaptational Villainy, having murdered his parents, and is a selfish power-hungry tyrant, while in J-WITCH he's given Adaptational Heroism, genuinely caring for his sister, being a Knight Templar at worst, and was actually framed for his parents' murder.
      • The nobility of Meridian had a big role in Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters, while in J-WITCH no nobility was shown because according to the author, there is no nobility in Meridian in his story.
      • Irma Lair and Jade Chan start a relationship in Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters, while they stay just friends in J-WITCH.
      • Jade gets different powers in each story. In Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters, she becomes a wolf Shapeshifter and gains Blood Magic, which is fitting the overall darker tone. In J-WITCH, she instead becomes a sixth Guardian, which is Truer to the Text.
      • The ending to both stories' Season 1 storyline contrasts each other with a similar but different event that will fundamentally change their Season 2. The end of this story in Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters featured the death of Phobos while the end of J-WITCH Season 1 has the death of Cedric.
    • Code Prime is this towards Transformers: Avatar Chronicles. Both are primarily based on the Aligned continuity and contain elements from each. However, there are elements that make each distinct from each other.
      • The starting points. Avatar Chronicles begins with a space bridge incident initiated by Megatron, and Optimus launching an attack on it, which, while plausible, couldn't have been done in canon. Code Prime begins straight out of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, indicating that the planet had long been corrupted and the Transformers are forced to find a new home.
      • Avatar Chronicles begins in a world of downplayed Black-and-White Morality, while Code Prime starts with Grey-and-Gray Morality with the Transformers' arrival causing it to become more of the latter.
      • The treatment of the Decepticons. In Avatar Chronicles, they become allies of the Fire Nation who are simply seeking to return to Cybertron, and become somewhat subservient to them despite their technological differences. In Code Prime, the Decepticons have somewhat existed for a long Earth-time, have been mentoring Britannia, and utilize their technological gap to fully ransack said empire, taking over as the new Big Bad by the sequel.
      • Whereas Avatar Chronicles follows the Avatar story bit by bit, Code Prime deviates from canon by giving its human protagonists affected character development, spare supposedly dead characters and, by the end, has the Decepticons take over as the main villains.
      • The stories' treatment of Transformers: Prime's Dreadwing. In Avatar Chronicles, he's established as someone who's hunting down the Autobots for Skyquake's death and doesn't properly explore his Noble Demon traits. However, he does switch sides upon finding out about the death's circumstances and fights Galvatron in the finale. In Code Prime, his Noble Demon traits are well-established, gains human partners in Suzaku and Euphemia, and dies performing a proper Heel–Face Turn, sacrificing himself to defeat a horde of Insecticons and saving Suzaku, Cornelia, and Euphie in the process.
    • With only a couple of months between each other's release, Fairy May Cry bears a lot of similarities and contradictions to Lil Soniq's Fairy of Darkness series. One could note this based on both the first Fairy of Darkness and Fairy May Cry's Vergil arc.
      • FoD is an Isekai story, and (somewhat) focuses on Sonic trying to adapt to the Fairy Tail world. FmC ingrains the Devil May Cry canon into the Fairy Tail universe, so while there are minor changes to DmC, it's all to ensure it melds well in the new environment.
      • The inciting incident of FoD is similar to FmC's. Sonic is forced to leave his old world behind after performing a Heroic Sacrifice to defeat Darkness the Hedgehog, and his attack sends both of them to said world. Dante pretty much experiences something identical to Devil May Cry 3, which is of course a prequel and sets up the environment he is thrust in.
      • The main antagonists of said arcs. Darkness is a Generic Doomsday Villain, existing solely as an antagonist with completely no growth whatsoever. While he does create life, they are merely Mooks with little interesting qualities and one-note dimensions. The reason Sonic is against him is that he merely attacked his world and his friends, so he simply acts to defend the new world against him. On the other hand, Vergil is a canon character written in a way that melds his story with the new world. The first minions he summons, though one-note, are all canonical monsters who also happen to provide hints of future plot developments. The reason Dante is against him is because of their existing family issues. Not to mention that Darkness simply attacks Sonic when they first meet in the Fairy Tail world without consideration of the actual guild, while Vergil attacks Dante and then unleashes a series of Curb-stomp battles onto the Fairy Tail cast, effectively sealing their reasons for hating him.
      • FoD is also told with a Harem Genre style mixed with Dragon Ball Z elements, later adding even more elements from completely difference series for the sake of the Rule of Cool. FmC, while spending time recounting prior plot points for both franchises manages to stick with just the two franchises and expands more on the elements of both franchises, all the while maintaining consistency with its elements. In fact, it does implement several elements(namely, several demons from Darksiders), but none of those characters form a core backbone of the overall plot, unlike Age of Darkness where almost the entire plot revolved around characters from completely different franchises.
  • Sliding Scale of Plot Versus Characters: An interesting way of denoting his works' progress and growth as a writer. His earlier work, notably Frozen Turtles (the first half) and Tangled with Ninjas have a more streamlined, basic good-versus-evil plot with somewhat little room for completely focused Character Development. Later works like Code Prime and A Red Rose in the Blue Wind start to lean more towards the characters, effectively balancing both.
  • The Worf Effect: In order to establish how strong newcomer heroes are to the plot, they are pit against a usually female high-ranking general who, in canon, is hard to defeat by their respective nemeses. It usually doesn't end well for the general, but once the Crossover Villain-in-Chief manages to take over and defeat their home factions, they side with the heroes.
