Author’s Note: ‘Steel Nightmare’ is a Megaman X fanfiction project that I wrote back in 2015, and originally published on a website dedicated entirely to such fiction works by members of various fandoms. I have long been a gamer, and the Blue Bomber and his successor’s adventures are easily some of my favorite sidescrolling challenges, games I enjoyed from start to finish. Over the years, I saw some brief flashes of potential in the X games for some genuinely bleak or grim storylines or narrative techniques, all of which ended up being softened in final presentation, and I came away somewhat disappointed. In the end, I decided that if I wanted a truly unpleasant experience, story-wise, with this beloved property, I was going to have to write it myself.
