Hello, everyone! I hope everyone had a great week. Mine was fine, I’m most likely going to have to start earlier for the next month or so because of a change at one of our locations that needs a morning delivery. I had hoped it would be overtime, but because it’s just about half an hour I’ll just be leaving earlier (and I also potentially have jury duty this coming week).
I did go and see the new Reincarnated as a Slime movie on Friday, and it was amusing. I honestly never thought I’d be rooting for Gobta in the romance department. I posted the third chapter of my fanfic Thursday and you can find the links in the My Fanfics at the top of the homepage.
My first listening change was that I finished Hero Academia DxD and decided to relisten to Back to the Beginning by Aliandris. It’s another MHA fic that I first mentioned in the quest here. It’s an Izuku/Ochaco fic where they both got OFA in different timelines. Things go wrong in Jaku City and they both die at the same time. 2nd has a time travel quirk and they both get sent back in the same timeline. Watch as they try and fic as much as they can. It still hasn’t been updated since 2024, but it has 92 chapters.
The second change was that I also finished Avatar Taylor and decided to relisten to The Reincarnator’s Tavern by GnomeBob. I’m actually surprised I don’t have this on the site considering I like listening to it, but who knows. This one is a bit complicated, so 100 people are reincarnated by an afterlife tavern and asked to play a game. They can chose one of two body types and roll six 6-sided dice (2 of each color to add together) to choose which what the power level each of the classes is (It’s more complicated, but the first chapter is an info dump). The ultimate game is played in the MCU, but the two body types are made up of other stories that you learn before the main story of the MCU starts. The first body type has the DBZ, HP and Naruto power systems and you have to learn them in the world during the story. The second body type has the HxH, One Piece and SW power systems. In each of them you’re the same age as the MC, but the players forget everything about all the worlds of the game.
The player we follow is Rayleigh Rush. He chooses SW as his main power and starts off there. He ends up on Tython and learn how to use his chosen main skill, Psychometry. Watch as he trains to become a swordsman, and helps mess up the stories he’s in. It has 83 chapters and he’s gone to the MCU to train with Hawkeye as a kid, HxH for most of its storyline, One Piece thru Ace’s death (though the players messed the conclusion to that) and has just returned to SW around the time of Episode 2. It’s fun and worth the read, sadly it was last updated at the end of last year.
Lastly, I reached the last chapter I remember reading from Tome of the Orange Sky (Though I’m now reading them to finish it as it is complete) and decided to change to Obscured By Clouds by Umei no Mai and InsaneScriptist. A warning before I describe this one, it’s locked to AO3 users only. This is a KHR fic, where almost a year after the ‘Cradle Affair’ (which I agree with several fics [including this one] is a stupid name), the cloud officer tries to kill off a civilian who disrespected him. However, she survives and kills him with Cloud flames, making her the new Cloud Officer. Other than being sad at her parents deaths during the incident, she acts like an adult and makes things better at the Varia. Including getting Xanxus out a lot earlier. It’s a good fic and is complete with 9 chapters.
So, onto the quest, first is Forgetting by sbmcneil. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot prequel to another one of this author’s fics. It’s the summer after The Chamber of Secrets and Ginny is not doing well. Both she and Harry are saying they need to see each other, but the adults around them are scared of what’s happening. Dumbledore convinces the Weasleys to obliviate her of her first year and does the same to Harry. Afterwards, the two meet up in a dream and Ginny is sent to Beauxbatons on Harry’s dime. It’s all set up and a mess of bad choices and mostly unnecessary as most is explained in the main fic.
Second is one I’ve talked about listening to before: Forging Destiny by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter fic I first mentioned here. Harry meets Sirius before he goes to London and decides to stay with him. Sirius takes him to Grimwald Place and helps him to take control of his life. Sirius also gets a new identity and sets things up to bring down Dumbles influence. It’s complete with 38 chapters and a sequel.
Third is Forgotten Angel by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Harry Potter, Supernatural and Consantine crossover that I first mentioned during the last quest, here. Harry is projected to die at birth, so the angels send Castiel to make sure Voldie dies. However, his memories are scrambled by the killing curse so he lives a Harry. He becomes Cas Shields and is John Constantine’s little brother. Hogwarts won’t know what’ll hit them. It’s incomplete with 12 chapters and was last updated in 2015.
Fourth is Forgotten Famigilia by sakurademonalchemist. This one is a Harry Potter and KHR fic that I also mentioned in the last quest, here. Harry learns his has family before third year and contacts his Great-Aunt Daniela Vongola. Learning about his situation, she takes over his guardianship after the Sirius mess. She decides to send Xanxus to Hogwarts with him to make sure Harry should stay there. It has 20 chapters and was last updated in 2017.
Fifth and last is Formed From Clay by sakurademonalchemist. This is one is a Harry Potter and Fate/Stay Night crossover I having mentioned yet as it came out after the quest. When Lily has trouble conceiving (because James’s seed was damaged), she uses a ritual and her child is an incarnation of Enkido. Fem Harry (Rhea) eventually finds this out and leaves the wizarding world behind. She ends up in Fuyuki for the 4th grail war and meets a certain ancient king. It’s fun, but only has 7 chapters and was last updated in 2020.
Well, there’s plenty more I could mention, but I need to turn off my screens soon. I’ll see you next week and I’ll mention if I was on a jury (but not the details, obviously). As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
