-->-- '''Chaos Break''', Chapter 1
'''Eternal Tails''' is a [[PseudocanonicalFic pseudocanonical]] SeriesFic of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' by that [[ADayInTheLimelight focuses]] on the game continuity's Miles "Tails" Prower.
While Miles is a fair bit darker than his canon counterpart, [[StepfordSmiler at least on the inside]], he still behaves very much like his canon counterpart, at least until the chips are down.
The series comes in two types of story. Longer stories focusing on Miles' adventures outside of the main canon, and shorter "introspectives", which focus mainly on Miles' relationships with his friends and his behaviour in canon through the lens of his gloomy mental state.
Currently has ten stories which can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4735868/ here]].
----
!!''Eternal Tails'' provides examples of:
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Eternal Tails runs on this trope. Miles' entire personality is run through a lens of PTSD, self-doubt, abandonment anxiety, and unhealthy coping mechanisms as he struggles to even consider himself a hero, let alone act like one.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Played with. Miles himself says he is AlwaysSecondBest, weaker than Knuckles, slower than Sonic, dumber than Eggman, while he also points out that just because he is second best doesn't mean he is ''bad'' at any of those things. Played more straight regarding Miles' attitude towards Sonic, who the fox views with wonder at his ability to save the day non-lethally and always attempts to emulate.
* ApocalypticLog: Chaos Break is a recording left by Miles after Eggman wins, defeating all of his friends with him as the only known survivor planning to do something stupid.
* BadassBookworm: Miles is just as smart as his other incarnations, while still being a LightningBruiser strong enough to punch through solid rock and fast enough to keep up with Sonic the Hedgehog.
* BadassNormal: Amy Rose. While she lacks the speed and strength of more powerful characters, Miles is legitimately worried about facing her due to her unpredictability being the perfect counter for his AwesomeByAnalysis combat style.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Miles is every bit as friendly and helpful as his canon counterpart, but when the chips are down he becomes a ruthless pragmatist willing to use every advantage he can get, especially to protect the people he cares about.
* ChildSoldier: In Eternal Tails, not only are the events of Tails' Adventure considered canon, they lack any of the FamilyFriendly nature of the game and fully averts the NoEndorHolocaust aspects of the game's ending. Miles at one point lists his kill count in the tens of thousands, and the only reason nobody knows about it is because there were no survivors.
* CuteBruiser: Even by mobian standards, Miles is small, fluffy, and perfectly capable of tearing a robot in half with his bare hands, or tails.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Applied liberally to the games that Eternal Tails is based on. Tails Adventure was a dark, brutal guerrilla war, the main Sonic games and Miles' "Player Two" tendency to shrug off damage is explored in brutal detail.
* TheDeterminator: While he doesn't quite die and respawn like his videogame self, Miles goes through ''ridiculous'' amounts of trauma through the series while barely slowing down.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: For the Happy Days trilogy especially.
* MadefIron: Mobians as a species are this. They can survive falling long distances, slam into walls at ridiculous speed, and so long as they have power rings they can survive almost any injury just like the characters in the game can. Their only major weaknesses are drowning and being crushed.
* MoralityPet: ''Sonic'' of all people serves as this for Miles, allowing him to use his talents without having to worry about killing anyone because he thinks Sonic will be able to stop him. [[spoiler: If the events of Bad Seed are any indication, he's ''wrong''.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sonic accidentally caused Miles to develop his current passive and cowardly NonActionGuy persona while trying to push him towards a safer, back line, role to keep him safe.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: While by no means stupid, Miles deliberately avoids using his full intelligence or strength whenever possible, hiding behind a cowardly facade as a non-action guy.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Like his game counterpart, Miles was eight years old in the Classic era, continued to be eight years old in the Modern era, and still looks to be eight years old years later. His actual age is such a mystery that his friends actually throw him unbirthday parties where he blows out a cake with eight candles year after year.
* OppositeSexClone: [[spoiler: Of multiple people, including Doodle, a clone of Robotnik, and Reason, a clone of Miles. Miles himself has so many at one point they effectively become a eusocial society as a result.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: The only thing Miles has from his parents is a piece of paper with his name on. [[spoiler:There's a good chance it's not even from them.]]
* StableTimeLoop: Featured heavily in Chronos Divide. [[spoiler:Implied to be one causing him to end up on Cocoa Island, shrunk down to child size and losing much of his memories.]]
* StepfordSmiler: Miles usually maintains a smiling, positive demeanour despite, usually, being anything but.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Justified. Mobians are considerably denser than water and sink like a stone, just like a real life hippopotamus. Miles' ability to swim in universe is frequently treated as more impressive than his ability to fly.
* TheLastOfHisKind: It's unclear if it's this or SingleSpecimenSpecies, but Miles is both the only fox, and the two-tailed fox. [[spoiler: Apart from his clones.]]
* UnreliableNarrator: Miles himself in Chaos Break, [[spoiler: Especially later as his mental state starts to degrade.]]
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Miles constantly worries about being in a desperate situation with nobody around to stand behind purely out of the fear that he will be driven to become a villain himself.
