The Start of the G’s

Hello, readers! Sorry this is late, like I said last time, I had to get the links for the next ones on the fic list, the Gs. However, I also had a performance with the music learning company I take classes from. I performed part of a song that I’ve been working on and after being slightly off at first, the rest was fine. Maybe if someone is actually interested, I’ll post a link to a recording of me singing, lol.

I’ve also finally gotten most of the Pokémon from Legends Arceus! All I have left is the Alpha versions of Oshawott and the 4 fossil Pokémon. I also have all of my extended Living Dex to at least level 35 (except the Spinda I have that I can’t even move out of Home). After I finish Arceus, all that’s left to complete what I can get of the extended Living Dex is a Male Alpha Houndoom and a Female GMax Venusaur.

So, I didn’t change much on my listening list, but there were some. First, I finished She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 1and went onto Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life Vol 2. Mile has graduated the hunter school and created the Crimson Vow with her friends. Now as C rank hunters they have to figure out their strengths, weaknesses and try all kinds of quests. From hunting monsters to escorting missions, they try it all. Now what’s this about a huge bandit issue? Watch as Mile continues to try and be average!

Second, I didn’t finish Black Sky, but I reached a point where another one of their stories intersected with it. It’s called Parenting is not a Varia Quality and it follows some OCs from this author. Two are a team from the Varia, Maínomai and Pyr, and the other is Nono Vongola’s granddaughter Erica Lanza, who’s working as the CDFs secretary. Maínomai is an easily distracted Mist and is Christmas shopping when he runs into Erica. He asks her to help him and they hit it off. They have a short fling and she gets pregnant. She keeps it and Pyr (his Cloud best friend) helps Maínomai discover about his family in case there’re any issues. There are also a few little silly side stories. There is a list on Umei no Mai’s profile of how it fits into the original story.

Finally, I also finished The Fire-eyed Princess (because it was short) and listened to Incandescence also by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR and Yu-Gi-Oh crossover that I first mentioned here. In this one, Tsuna is sent back in time, and an accident kills his mom when he’s young. He fakes his records on the way to the orphanage so Iemitsu can’t find him and adopts an active Sun who begins to think he’s really his brother. Needless to say, he becomes Kaiba but does things differently. He refuses to take over the Vongola and is working to make his own group. However, there’s also Yugi, who’s actually a girl and eventually becomes his love interest. It’s still at 20 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2021.

I finished it and moved onto Nightmare’s End by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Persona 5 and Harry Potter crossover. Fem Harry (Haruhi) transfers into Shujin Academy after leaving England (after the books) and then getting falsely accused (yes, she takes Joker’s place). She helps take down several of the targets from the game (that I’ve honestly never played) and starts to expand the metaverse to England. It only has 7 chapters and was last updated in 2020.

That one was also finished along with the next one, Liliko by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Naruto and Harry Potter crossover one-shot that I mentioned before here. Kushina is dragged from her deathbed during the Kyuubi attack into the past and de-aged. There she’s forced into the role of Lily Evans and she tries to figure out how to eventually get back home. However, she is later compelled to marry James and has Harry (or rather Haru). She breaks all the controls and escapes back home before the Kyuubi attack. How will she deal with the attack and what happens back in England? Read and find out.

The one I’m actually on now is The Road Not Taken by sbmcneil. It’s a Harry/Ginny story I first mentioned here. Sirius finds Harry soon after he leaves the Dursleys the summer before his third year. He convinces Harry to join him for the summer and tells him about Scabbers. Harry decides to do better at school and look out for Ginny. It’s complete and a great read.

So for the quest, we’re now on the G’s! First is Gabriel by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter fic that I first mentioned here. It’s a Twin Potters and Wrong BWL fic where Harry is thought to be a squib by Dumbles and is raised in an orphanage. He’s picked up by one of the best assassins and taken in to be trained by him. Years later, he’s Gabriel, the best upcoming assassin and is being hired to take out some Death Eaters. Will he discover his family links? Find out in this completed fic!

Second is Game On! by nordiamus. This is a KHR and Harry Potter fic that I mentioned before here. Harriet Potter (fem Harry) dies after becoming The Master of Death and discovers she’s immortal. She accepts several concept’s (including Chaos) plan to reincarnate her several times to build up her Godly powers. So she’s reincarnated as Tsuna’s twin in the recent past and changes how things go in that world. This one surprisingly has a good father Iemitsu and her love interest is is Reborn (or Renato) [This is because she was older when she died and is not weird]. There are references to where she goes in some of her later lives, but it ends when she dies in this life and learns of her new title, Shadow.

Third is the sequel, Game On! 2 0. This one is a crossover with Fullmetal Alchemist. Shadows’s reincarnated as Ed and Al’s younger sister. She changes many things, but the biggest thing is that she manages to help Al keep most of his body. Things are thrown more off track because someone has managed to join the game from her old life, someone who loves her. How will things go with Reborn as Roy? It also ends with her death is this life.

Fourth is the next one, Game On! 3 0. This one actually takes Shadow back to her original world, but in the farther in the past. This time she’s crossing over with InuYasha and as Sesshoumaru’s daughter, Tsukiko. She and Renato grow up and train until they eventually meet Kagome and follow her into the far past. After meeting her uncle, she helps him to understand her father and how to be a youkai. Watch as her pack grows. This one doesn’t actually end when she dies as she has to figure out where some of her pack that was in the past went.

Fifth is Game On! 3 1. This one is a continuation of 3.0’s life but starts a crossover with Yu Yu Hakusho. Tsukiko is trying to find out where the rest of her pack is and Chaos’ game leads her to Yusuke. She trains him and his friends while working on the mystery. This life also continues into the next one.

Sixth is Game On! 3 2. This one also continues 3.0’s life but is set in the future and is a crossover with ½ Prince (a manga about a genderbending avatar in a VR game). Tsukiko heads to T City and finds a Chaos Game notification about another hero. So she joins Second Life and meets up with Prince. It’s a silly little excursion, but interesting.

Seventh and the final one I’ll mention is Game On! 3 5. This one is the final one (and a one-shot) for this life and is a set up for the next one (that is not on the list as it wasn’t out when I first started). The pack learns that a Low Tide of magic coming and the magic people and creatures need to escape. They manage to get most out, but Tsukiko and a few others have to stay. They watch as the world evolves into the world of Naruto. To help things after she passes away, she decides to be reborn to help Naruto, which is in the next one. There are four more fics currently and the last one is being worked on.

Well, that took a while and most of it was one series. I also forgot to mention that on Friday I accidentally pulled a muscle in my left leg. It’s mostly fine now (no pain, just stiffness), I just have an odd gait. I hope it’s completely healed up soon. As always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

The End of the F’s

Hello, readers. It’s been a quiet week. We had the driving I mentioned, and I wish the extra early half hour I get there would be overtime. However, I get to leave early, so that’s something, I guess.

There are quite a few changes in the listening list, so I’ll get started on that. First, I finished The Saga of Tanya the Evil Vol 1 and decided to listen to She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 1 by Ryusen Hirotsugu. It’s a VRMMO isekai that has both a manga and an anime (1 season).  Mira was formerly a man who played an old man character named Danblf in the game Ark Earth Online. One night he bought a kit that allows character changes and created his perfect female avatar. However, he randomly fell asleep and woke up 30 years later in the game that has become real. With no way to prove he was Danblf (One of the Wise Men of their kingdom), she says she’s his pupil. Now she has to work together with her game friend (whose the king) to figure out why they’re in the game and find their friends. It’s interesting, as I’ve only previously read the manga.

Next I got to a point where I wanted to read the rest of Life’s a Pay to Win Game, so went through several smaller fics. First was Sight Unseen by sakurademonalchemist. This is Natsume’s Book of Friends, Gamer and KHR crossover I first mentioned here. ‘Takashi’ is really Natsume (Fem. Tsuna) who was taken from Nana when she didn’t react correctly when her daughter was beat up. She was shunted from relative to relative and eventually ran away (Stealing money from the hag who beat her up). However, this version is from the future and also gets the Gamer system. How will our triple power heroine handle her new life? It’s only got 10 chapters was last updated in 2018 and quite honestly, the author stuffed too many things on her.

Second was Elves by kb0. I mentioned this Harry Potter one-shot earlier in the quest, here. After the first chapter of the first book, the Potter’s elf spirits Harry away to raise herself. She finds the horcrux and other elves help her free him from it. They also get all the rest and destroy him without Dumbles knowing. Sirius is even released because of their actions.

Third was Firestorm by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a slight Harry Potter and Avatar: the Last Airbender crossover. Harry is reborn as Zuko and remembers after the fight with his father. With those memories, he leaves after being told that he has to find the Avatar. He spends his time as a glassmaker and finds a female airbender (not Fem. Aang). They travel together and change things. It’s worth a read and is still being updated.

Fourth and the current one is The Fire-eyed Princess also by sakurademonalchemist. This one is a Tsukihime and KHR crossover. Nana is really Arcuied who was had amnesia because of Zelretch. When she remembers, she’s more furious at Iemitsu but happy for her daughter, Tsukiyo. Watch as the ‘family’ makes many changes in the KHR world, including making Bel her storm. It’s a fun read, but was last updated in 2020 and has 7 chapters.

Finally, I also finished Obscured By Clouds and chose to read some more short fics. First was Messenger of Hope by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Naruto and Sonic crossover I first mentioned here. Nozomi is the fastest courier in the Elemental Counties, but in reality, she’s Naruko (Fem Naruto) who found the summoning contract for the Sonic characters. After she fails the academy the third time, she gives up on Konoha and decides to fully become Nozomi. After stealing Sasuke and Hinata, she works to expand her business. She even finds out Eggman is really her grandfather. It’s a fun little fic, but only has 7 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Second was Odyssey to the Orient by sbmcneil. It’s a fifth year Harry Potter short story that I first mentioned, here. Harry and Ginny accidentally grab a portkey while cleaning Grimmwald Place during the summer. They end up in a house in Asia and have to survive while figuring out where they are. The Order is trying to find them as well, so who will find the other first? It’s finished and a cute Harry/Ginny story.

Third and the current one is a favorite, The Accidental Bond by kb0. This is a Harry Potter AU I first mentioned here. It’s this is Harry/Multi with Hermione, Ginny and Gabrielle (Fleur’s sister). Harry has a special power that activates under certain circumstances (that I’m not revealing as it is secret for the first part of the fic) and bonds women to him. Watch as he bonds the girls and how they all get along. It’s complete and has 33 chapters.

Okay onto the quest (and I plan to finish the F’s today!); first is Fortunate Decision by jojor99. This is a Harry Potter one-shot set after the series. Harry and Ginny have been trying to get married, but one thing or another keeps moving the date. One day, they decide to elope to finally be married. This turns out to be a fortunate decision (lol) as they come the Burrow and find a situation that their wedding prevents. Read and find out what that is.

Second is Free Life by fake a smile. This one is the sequel to Taking Control that I previously mentioned here. Harry has run away after Dumbles found out his secret. Ginny soon joins him after being driven from the Burrow by the Order trying to find him. It had the makings of a good sequel, but currently only has 6 chapters and was last updated in 2011.

Third is From Fake Dreams by Third Fang. This one is another favorite. It’s a Fate series fic mostly focusing on the Fate/Stay Night and parallel stories that I first mentioned here. Kiritsugu Emiya dreams of his son going through the Fifth Holy Grail War and sees several different versions. Upon confirming that his son they’re possible futures by correcting how his son does magecraft, he decides to use the information to fix the future. Things spiral out of control and Shirou does as he does. It’s now at 81 chapters and was last updated at the end of last year.

Fourth is Fullmetal Flames by sakurademonalchemist. This is FMA and KHR crossover that I first mentioned here. Ed and Al are reborn as Tsuna and his younger brother. They escape being sealed and are trained by Fon. They’re not the only ones with memories, but who else does is a secret. Also, there are Yaoi pairing in this a implied lemons, don’t like don’t read. It has 12 chapters and was last updated in 2018.

Fifth is the first prequel to the actual next fic Harry Potter: The Lone Traveller by The Professional. This is a Harry Potter AU where things go wrong. He’s the only one left of his family and friends after finally ending the war. When he tries to go back in time to fix everything, he ends up traveling from world to world helping people. He eventually is put into Wizarding Lore as The Lone Traveler. This is incomplete, but others have continued it (though there is a spinoff of one of the stories that I’ll mention later), like the next one.

The next prequel is Stories of the Lone Traveler by dunuelos. This author continues Harry’s journey, though he expands the worlds he visits. It crosses over with Babylon 5, Naruto, David Eddings’ Belgariad (I’ve been meaning to find and read this, it sounds fun), Star Trek, The Destroyer series (started by Warrn Murphy and Richard Sapir), West Wing, The Big Bang Theory, JAG, NCIS, Joan of Arcadia, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and NYPD Blue. Things are always as they seem, so sometime characters you like are shown in a good light. It has several spin off that I’ll mention later that continue certain stories. It’s complete with 78 chapters.

It’s sequel and the actual next one is Further Adventures of a Lone Traveler by dunuelos. This one continues from the last one but starts with Harry able to visit the afterlife of his original world and see all his old friends. This one has more crossovers: Hogan’s Heroes and Stargate SG-1. It’s shorter with 33 chapters, but the last arc leads to a good conclusion that gives Harry a change in status.

The final F is Future Shock by megamatt09. It’s a Harry Potter, DCU, Smallville and Legion of Super Heroes crossover. If you’re wondering why there’s no link, it’s because it’s been taken off the website. I still have a copy, but that’s because I tend to get PDF of the stories I read for this purpose. Something goes wrong in HP and Harry puts himself in stasis. Years later, the Legion of Super Heroes investigate. It’s a normal megamatt fic with sex scenes, but it does have an interesting story.

Well, that’s it for this week. Now I’ve got to put the G’s on my list to find the links for them before the next post. I’ve also just found out that my sister-in-law’s grant was not renewed for her non-profit org, which I’m not happy about. Have a great week and as always (and now more than ever) – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

Progress!!!

Hello, readers. Another week has passed and on Friday I finally did something I’ve been trying to do for a long time… I finally got the last Unown Alpha (?)! I’m ecstatic and am now working on getting the different gender alphas I don’t have before I work on the fossils and Rowlet line in the space time rifts. I may get all the alphas I’m missing before long, yay!

Works been work. I have a training on Monday, but it’s just a normal renewal thing so I’m not worried. We have to work on rearranging stock to make way for actual desks for some co-workers (mostly because one of them wants an actual desk and the other two don’t care as they work out and about). We also have a location closing and my team has to help pack and move everything starting this week.

The first change to my listening list is that I finished Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! Vol 1 and decided to relisten to The Saga of Tanya the Evil Vol 1. This is because I know the 2nd season is coming out and I’ve never actually gotten past vol 3 even though I have all 14 books in person. The Salaryman dies and is reincarnated in an alternate world as a young girl. There through mostly his own misunderstandings is forced into more perilous situations (with some nudging from the heavenly side). It’s an interesting story and I’ve been wanting to read it through for a while.

The only other change is that I finished Hybird Hive – Eat Shard and it’s ‘sequels’. It’s not really sequels, just other Taylors that were accidentally created and where they ended up. One ends up in the MCU when Loki opens the portal in Avengers 1. The other one ends up in a canon Worm before that Taylor goes out. The last one is a what if Taylor found Star Wars in her universe before Alderaan was destroyed.

I replaced it with A Darker Path by ack1308. It’s a Worm AU that I’ve mentioned before in the list here. Taylor triggers with The Path to Ending instead of Queen Administrator. It allows her to kill whatever she wants with steps like Contessa. She takes is and runs with is like the Queen of Escalation that she is. It’s complete and a fun read.

Now, to the quest; first is Fluffy Firsts: Tales of H&G’s first kiss by MrIntel. This one is a set of 8 one-shots on how Harry and Ginny could get together/have their first kiss. They mostly fluffy, but some have angst as well. It’s worth the read!

Second is Follow the Phoenix by Rachelme177. I’ve mentioned this one earlier here because its sequel was in the As. Albus makes better decisions after the end of 5th year and takes Harry in. Ginny is his support and they get together earlier in the year. It’s complete (obviously as it has a sequel).

Third is For The Honor Of The Regiment by mp3.1415player. It’s a Worm and BOLO series crossover that I first mentioned here. A BOLO tank (AI driven) is sent to places unknown and ends up taking over Queen Administrator. It activates the connection early and trains Taylor early as it’s operator. The Story goes back and forth between past and present. Sadly incomplete with 25 chapters.

Fourth is For Want of an Outfit by CmptrWz. This is one of my favorites and is a Harry Potter AU with slight crossover with several stories including Kingdom Hearts. I actually just realized I’ve never mentioned it on here because I haven’t listened to it recently. The Dursley’s force Harry to dress like a girl when a trunk of Lily’s old clothes is dropped on their doorstep one day when he’s young. He gets used to it, but it forces them to realize how badly their treating him. By then he’s used to it and decides to do it to be close to his mother. He discovers magic early and many things are different. It’s incomplete but has 271 chapters (and I’m fairly sure the reason it’s not being updated is that the author is planning the next part out and writing it).

Fifth is Force of Souls by Kairomaru. It’s a Bleach AU where the main change I can remember at first is that Ichigo is with Orihime and Tatsuki before Rukia shows up and Ichigo is less restrained in his interest in girls. The girls also become soul reapers and that’s just one of the changes. It’s worth reading and has 36 chapters and was updated in Feb.

Sixth and final is Forever Red by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. I’ve also mentioned this one before here as it’s the 2nd sequel oneshot to The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies about the Power Rangers. It’s the in-fic version of the crossover from the series of the same name. The main differences are that the teams are closer in general, there are more concrete relationships and Kira (Tommy and Kim’s daughter) is involved.

That’s it for this week. There are 15 alphas I need from Legends Arceus, 2 from Legends Z-A (both gender alpha forms) and a female G-Max Venusaur to complete my living dex. I look forward to only having to get them all up to 100! As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

I’ve Been Distracted By Another Long Fic Again

Hello everyone! It’s been a busy week of lots of driving and I’m looking forward to my supervisor being off next week. There’s not much coming up but I’m currently working on clearing out my photos as I have almost 43 GBs of them on my phone. It’s mostly screen shots of manga names or pics to identify them later, so I’m adding them to my manga to read app.

Anyway, I’ve just today started to get back into the listening schedule, but I’ve made a few changes (to the current listening list, not how it works). First, my replacement for the fourth block is Avatar Taylor by Dalxein. It’s a Worm and Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover that I’ve mentioned on the current quest, here. When Aang almost dies at the end of Season 2, Raava gathers the energy for a new Avatar. However, when he lives, she just lets it go and dissipate on its own. The Queen Administrator shard finds and absorbs it. It changes how it plans to go about connecting to Taylor and her powers. Now Taylor has the Avatar powers and is changing people and powers. It has 54 chapters, but sadly it hasn’t updated since late 2024.

I’m also finished Baccano! Vol 3 and plan to listen to the newest volume of Reborn as a Space Mercenary, vol 14. I haven’t started listening to it yet, but I’m fairly sure this one is when they go to one of the Dwarf twin’s hometown spaceports to deal with an epidemic. It’s sure to be different from the webnovel, so I’m looking forward to it.

Finally, I was tired of The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, so I’m changing it to a new fic that I’m still in the process of reading (and that the title is referencing). It’s called A Nascent Kaleidoscope by AStoryForOne. It’s a multi-crossover that starts off with Fate series and High School DxD, then quickly goes into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s about a semi-reborn Zelretch who’s reborn as Sirzetch’s bastard Half Devil son with barely any devil energy. When he awakens his memories, he realizes that he’s barely living and decides to so to another timeline. However, not before stealing the Boosted Gear from Issei and blowing up a bomb in Sona’s face for how she treated him. It has 676 chapters currently and it was updated last week. It’s definitely worth a read, however if you don’t know a series, you may be a bit confused. He goes to many of the Fate series, RWBY, Bleach, Harry Potter, and Campione to start. There’s a very amusing Bleach omake around chap 400 that made me burst out laughing and I still smile whenever I think about it.

And now, onto the quest, first is First Crisis by TheBeardedOne. This is a sequel to Dark Knights and a crossover with The Institute Saga series (that I’ll get into later). DK Superman (raised as Bruce’s brother) accidentally gets transported to THS world and they work to get him back. It’s complete with six chapters.

Second is First Kiss by seritha. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot set in fifth year. Harry and Ginny both are hoping for their first kiss soon with Cho and Michael. However, when Ginny says she would rather have her first kiss to be with Harry, he decides to grant her wish.

Third is Fixing Messes by Phantom1s. This one is a Harry Potter time travel story. At the end of Harry’s life, he and Hermione plan to use his magic to turn back time to right the wrongs of the war and past it. It’s a Harry/Ginny and Hermione/Ron fic. It’s completed and an interesting read.

Fourth is Flameheart by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR and MHA crossover that I first talked about here. Tsuna is considered quirkless, but it was really sealed by his father. He’s living the best he can until he finds out that All Might is his grandfather. Watch as he takes Yuuei by storm, or as much as you can with only 8 chapters. Izuku still gets One-For-All in this fic that hasn’t been updated since 2019.

Fifth and final is Flames by Fencer22. This is a Worm fic with KHR powers that I mentioned before here. Taylor triggers with Dying Will Flames (Not Sky) and decides to just give up on Earth Bet. She lets you know why she thinks it’s dying and wants to escape with as much as she can. It’s completed with 23 chapters.

That’s everything for this post. I hope everyone has a great week and I’ll see you next week. I’m off to read more of A Nascent Kaleidoscope, so as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

My Fic is Up!

Hello, everyone. I’ve worked and finally gotten all the added links added where they should and have the current quest list up (in A-Z order [including later ones mentioned that are prequels]). I even have a favorite list that I’ll add to as I mention more of them in posts.

Things were fine at work, but it’s been really busy. I also finally posted the first chapter of my fic on the 28th as I promised my group I would. However, one of group got back to me Thursday with recommendations for the first chapter. I spent part of the weekend (including when I would normally work on this) to finish the editing and repost it. So! Here are the links to Theurgy Thru Replevy on FF.net and AO3. I hope people enjoy it, but I’m honestly doing this for me. I’d love to write my own stories, and this is helping me. Also, I really wanted to have a completed MHA/CCS crossover even if it takes me forever.

So, onto the listening changes, I finished The Eminence in Shadow Vol 1 and moved back to Baccano! Vol 2. This is one of my favorite ones from the anime, the story of what happened on the Flying Pussyfoot train at the end of 1931, or rather, half the story. There are three groups that have their own plans for the train. Throw in two silly thieves who don’t know anything, several independents doing their own thing and the mysterious ‘Rail Tracer’. How will things turn out?

Because I didn’t post last week, I also finished that one, so now I’m on Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs Vol 2. Leon is continuing at school after the duel. Everyone hates him because they lost tons of money on the betting. Now there’s a school festival and several people are plotting against him. Will he be able to deal with it? And will anything ever happen with Livia or Angie?

Next I finished Taking Control and went to its sequel Free Life also by fake a smile. I mentioned it here before. It takes place during the summer after 6th year. Harry has escaped Dumbledore’s control and is fighting the Death Eaters that go after his students. Will he be able to see Ginny? And will things be resolved with Dumbles? Some questions are answered, but not all as it only has 6 chapters and it was last updated in 2011.

I also finished A Body Roll or Two and decided to move onto Hero Academia DxD by DinoCam1234. This one is mainly an MHA and High School DxD crossover where Izuku takes Issei’s place as the Red Dragon Emperor. It’s set in MHA and Rias is in UA already. There’re also characters from Bungou Stray Dogs (that I haven’t read or watched yet) and other anime (like Code Geass) and some MHA characters take the place of DxD characters. Its 64 chapters long and was just updated at the end of last year!

Mauling Snarks was also finished and I read the Apocrypha of the fic Mauling Canon. It’s also written by CmptrWz. It takes a different version of chap 58 and MS Taylor ends up in Canon Worm the night Taylor goes out. Shenanigans ensue. The link is to the first chapter, and it has links to all 14 chapters at the bottom.

After that I decided to listen to Issei – The Gaming Gear by Seerking again. It’s a High School DxD and The Gamer crossover I first mentioned here. Issei and his family are attacked by a rouge agent of an unknown faction, the Purifiers, before he meets Raynare and awakens his Sacred Gear. However, he has two, Boosted Gear and the Gamers Gear (Gaia). They help him defeat the Purifier, but now he has to deal with the rest. An interesting way to introduce Issei to the supernatural world, no? It has 24 chapters and sadly, Seerking still hasn’t updated this year.

In Flight was finished and I chose Heart of the Soul by sakurademonalchemist next. It’s a KHR and Ghost Hunt crossover I first mentioned here. Mai (Fem. Tsuna) breaks the seal on her flames in the middle of a case. This allows ‘Naru’s’ brother ‘Yuu-chan’ to escape where he is to her house. Now how will flames affect the supernatural? It has 21 chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2017.

I completed that one and listened to Hero Class Civil Warfare by RogueDruid (Icarius51). I honestly thought I had mentioned this one before, but it’s a MHA AU where there’s a ‘civil war’ every year between the students of 1-A and 1-B. Two of them are chosen to be the leaders of the Heroes and Villains. Of course, Bakugo is chosen as the hero leader, but Izuku is chosen as the villains. Will he be able to step into the role and help his fellow ‘villains’ win? Find out as it’s complete and has a sequel and a spin-off.

Sadly, I also completed that and turned to Tome of the Orange Sky by CmptrWz again. It’s a Naruto and slight Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover that I first mentioned here. Naruto finds an old and broken device and it uses the Kyuubi to help recreate itself. Now Kurama is dead and everything changes. It’s completed!

To end, my replacement for Weasley Brothers’ Enterprises is Hybird Hive – Eat Shard by CmptrWz. Its a Worm and Magical Lyrical Nanoha crossover that I first mentioned here. When Taylor triggers in the locker, a Belkan device is pulled along. It absorbs her shard and connects with her. How will magic affect this grim dark world? This one is also complete! With that said, I just put a link that shows what my current listening list is.

Finally, the quest continues! First is It’s OK Not to Be OK (But I Promise, I’m Trying) by rayrae118. It’s here because it’s the first in the series of the actual next one. In this one, McGonagall finds out what Harry is going through at the Dursleys and takes him in at the end of third year. It follows the summer after and fourth year. It’s mostly Harry/Ginny with some Ron/Hermione in there. It’s a good completed series overall and a favorite.

The actual first is Every Tear Fall Down for a Reason (But I Promise I Won’t Cry for You) by rayrae118. This one is the fifth-year story. How will this Harry deal with Umbridge? And will he learn the prophecy? All this and more!

Second is the Evil Gohan Series by Dr. Trunks Briefs. I’ve mentioned them before here and they’re no longer on ff.net. However, I found a drive that has all the fics here. Impasse has Future Gohan and Trunks coming to help with the androids, with a little helper. There it’s revealed that Gohan in the that future, snapped and needs meds to stay normal. They want to stop the androids and make sure Gohan stays sane.

Finesse is the sequel set when Gohan goes to high school. The future gang is back to make sure Gohan doesn’t snap and make sure things go well with Videl. However, they don’t expect Buu and Gohan being controlled. How will things work out?

Pavisse is the prequel, the story of Future Gohan and what happened with him.

Technically third is Exiles by kb0. This is a Harry Potter fic that goes AU after the final battle. The remaining Des take out the adults when they relax after the battle. The Ministry Six and George are captured and put in Azkaban. They escape and exile themselves rather than face trial. This one is completed with six chapters, a sad, but good read.

Lastly, fourth and the final E is Exodus by Ld1449. It’s a Worm and Big Hero 6 crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Taylor is tossed into the realm where Calhan’s daughter is at the end of Worm as Hiro and Baymax are saving her. They grab her as well and she heals. Find out how a former villain helps out the world’s first hero team. And are those new parahumans popping up? This is completed!

That’s it for me. Read and comment on my fic if you have time. Have a great week and as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

PoGo Tour Kalos! and Other Info

Hello everyone! As I said, this is late because I went to the Pokémon Go Tour at the Rose Bowl Stadium and the fact I’ve had things going on during the week so far that have made it so I didn’t have time to post until now. I’ll talk about that in a second, but I wanted to let everyone know that I’m taking a break from posting for a week to update the archive links. I don’t know how long ago I last caught up on the links, so I’m going to make sure they’re caught up through this post. I’ll probably also make a list of the stories from the current quest. Maybe one for my favorite fanfics/books/anime and one for what I’m listening to as well. Basically, my next post will probably be on the 8th of March.

I also made a promise to my anime group that I’d post the first chapter of my fanfic this month, so I’ll probably post that on the 28th. Its name is Theurgy Thru Replevy and my handle on fanfiction.net is TheReader2011 and on AO3 is TheReader2017. As a reminder, it’s a Cardcaptor Sakura and My Hero Academia crossover. Basically, Izuku becomes the new Cardcaptor, but it brings most if not all of the characters from Cardcaptor Sakura into the MHA world, eventually (and maybe not all in this first ‘book’). I’m going to work on the description, and I want one of my alpha(?) readers to give me a little feedback back at least on the first chapter. However, my first choice isn’t doing it, and my other four are busy themselves. I hope one of the two I’ll see on Saturday will at least give me some about the first few chapters. I’ll be looking for an actual Beta reader when I post it.

Anyway, onto the Go Tour, I got 16ish new shinnies including Xerneas, 2 Furfrou, 2 of the 4 Hat Pikachus (one gender for each hat) and some Unowns. I walked a lot and my legs are finally almost back to normal. I didn’t really interact with anyone, but that was fine. I’ll have another chance at getting more this weekend with the Global version. I got back on Monday night and was tired, so I didn’t work on this. Tuesday, I had to work on my church’s website because even though I’ve handed the upkeep to others, they didn’t know how to do something, so it fell to me. Yesterday I had another event and so it falls to today.

Work’s been fine, I’m by myself for today and tomorrow and of course this is when it gets busy. I’m not looking forward to when my supervisor gets back on Monday because he set something up right before he left on vacation and didn’t explain it very well. We asked his supervisor (and the one who’s in charge of us while he’s gone) if she knew what he wanted with it. She took off the notices he put on our desks because she didn’t feel he should set something up, not explain it, then go on vacation. However, he and I get in before she does and I’m not looking forward to having to explain why they’re not there if she hasn’t notified him beforehand.

So, my listening schedule was messed up for a little while because of the Go Tour. My text to speech app takes a lot of power and I only brought one battery pack with me (because that’s all we were supposedly allowed). I used an old phone, but it didn’t have some of the newer ones I put on the app (like the EiS and Mobuseka crossover I mentioned recently). So I just listened to Hogwarts- An Escalation by Temporal Knight. This on is a Harry Potter and Worm crossover. A slightly AU Taylor is transported to the Greengrass’ manor during a confrontation with Bakuda (who also comes along and is killed). After she figures out she’s not in Kansas anymore, she agrees to be the Greengrass sister’s bodyguard at Hogwarts. How will 5th year HP deal with the Queen of Escalation? Read and find out, slightly, as it only has 17 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2023.

I only had two changes I had in my actual schedule last week, the first was that I finished with Solidarity Among Students, Class 1-A Edition by Jetstream and had a quick listen to Weasley Brothers’ Enterprises by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a short four-chapter story where Harry asks first year, why don’t the Weasley siblings do more to earn money if they need it. He gives them suggestions and they run with it. It’s complete and a fun little story. I didn’t start the new story after that until this week, so I’ll wait until the next post to announce the replacement.

The second was that I finished Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs vol 1and decided to listen to (you guessed it) The Eminence in Shadow Vol 1 by Daisuke Aizawa. Listening to the light novel gives me a bit more insight into characters (especially the Seven Shades). The first volume goes through the school invasion arc, so there’s a lot to work through. Cid, or Shadow, is basically the same, just maybe a little more straightforward (like actually asking Gamma for money, but taking more than the grabbed even though he offered him a lot more).

Onto the quest, first is Enough by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter fic I first mentioned here. Harry has been hiding his real skills from everyone as he knows that Dumbles and his supposed friends aren’t looking out for him. He takes him NEWTS right after he passes his OWLS and escapes from England. Voldie is still defeated, but not by Harry. It’s a fun little completed 8-chapter story.

Second is Equus by sakurademonalchemist. This is a KHR and Harry Potter crossover I’ve mentioned before here. Fem Harry (Harmony) escapes from England after her 5th year and lives in Italy as a horse rancher. However, this leads her to meet and eventually marry Dino Cavallone. Everything is great, until England comes knocking. It’s an interesting fic with 17 chapters, but is, of course, incomplete and hasn’t updated since 2017.

Third is Erazerhead – The Unknown Hero by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown). This one is a MHA fic where Izuku finds a piece of Eraserhead’s capture weapon and accidentally becomes a vigilante. However, no one knows except him, as they all think he’s the real one. It has 7 chapters and is still being updated every once in a while. The author has also indicated that it will only have 15 chapters.

Third is Escape From the Hokage’s Hat by anothvortex. It’s another Missing Hokage Naruto fic where he’s kicked out after bring back Sasuke that I’ve mentioned before here. In this one, Shizune, Tsunade and Hinata join him. They end up many different places and it currently ends up with the Hidden Village of the Star arc. It’s a good read and has 42 chapters, however it was last updated in 2012.

Fourth is Eternal Sands by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Harry Potter and Aladdin crossover. Fem Harry (Acacia) finds Jafar’s lamp and releases him. They get along well and end up together (the author tells Aladdin from Jafar’s perspective with more world building). There’s more to it, but more importantly, this one is actually finished with 11 chapters.

Fifth and finally is Even the Wizards Must Pay Their Due by Gamma Cavy. This is Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist crossover. The Harry Potter world is ‘Outside’ and Ed and Al are sent to investigate. Dumbles tries to control Ed and he snaps the Deathstick and steals young Harry. When the wizards eventually get to the FMA world, the main battle is done and they’ll learn, as the title says. It’s complete with 16 chapters.

Okay, remember, I’m not going to have a post this week, but look out for changes. Also, be on the lookout for my fanfic! Happy Pokémon Day tomorrow! As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Sorry For Missing Last Week

Hello, readers. Sorry I didn’t post last week. I just got busy and kept putting it off. So, I decided to just do a double long post this week. It’s been a couple of slow weeks at work. I managed to deduce who got the position last Friday and I guess it makes sense because she is bilingual and has more contact with the other locations. However, this is the second time someone originally from that position has gotten the job over me. It’s kinda annoying.

Anyway, I’ve also been spending time reorganizing my Pokemon Home to make space for the Alphas from Z-A. I’ve used a data site to help me do so and now I have all the spaces I need for when it is able to connect. I also need to get rid of some photos from my phone because I have like 40 GBs of it and I’m like, how? It’s mostly because I don’t get rid of screenshots I don’t need anymore.

On to what I’ve been listening to, I finished In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 6 and that’s where I’ll stop this one as I don’t think I’ve read more than that. So I started Baccano! Vol 1 By Ryohgo Narita and Katsumi Enami. It’s an interesting series I actually found through the anime years ago.

It’s about alchemists who summoned a demon in the 1700s to make themselves immortal. Only the leader was given the recipe to make more immortals. He told part of it to his brother, only to decide there wouldn’t be any more immortals. The thing is that they could die by someone putting their right hand on the person’s head and ‘eating’ them, getting their knowledge. Another immortal ‘eats’ his brother instead of him and escapes. Go forward to the time of prohibition, the immortal is still trying to make the correct recipe. His people succeed, however a ‘not’ mafia gang and two oddball thieves accidentally gets involved and their might be another immortal involved. It’s fun and the other novels go to different time periods, including 2001 (excluding that the story is being told to someone in 2002).

It very interesting and has many different characters it follows. The anime is silly and jumps between different parts in the story to make it more interesting. It only has the one season, but there might be more eventually.

After I finished Baccano!, I started Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs vol 1 by Yomu Mishima. Yes, I did this because of Life’s a Pay to Win Game.  I’ve never read the light novels, just read the manga and seen the anime (along with fanfics I’ve read). Actually, I might have read the webnovel at some point, I think. I’ve already explained the base of this series, but this volume covers through a bit after the mecha fight with the five idiots (based on the chap titles).

Next, I finished with Amor Enim Vult and decided to listen to A Body Roll or Two by TheAmazingWadey. It’s a Miraculous Ladybug fic that I’ve mentioned before in the current quest, here. It’s set during their college years after Adrian left with his father to America. During the intervening years, Marinette has gotten in Bachata and goes into an audition. She succeeds and finds that recently returned Adrian is her partner. How will this go and will they ever reveal their identities? You can find out, but sadly it’s about one chapter short (I think, an epilogue would be good) and hasn’t been updated since 2017.

Following that, I finished Beyond the Outer Gate Lies and decided to listen to The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor by Heesung Nam. It’s a Korean webnovel that’s been translated online. The link will take you to the first chapter and you can read most of it there, but you’ll have to search out the rest online like I did. It’s about Lee Hyun, a 20-year-old orphan and a high school dropout. He just became an adult and was finally allowed to work legally. He decides to sell his old game account instead of deleting it. This makes news because he’s the highest player in the game. He gets over 3 billion won for it and starts to make things better for his sister and grandmother. However, the loan sharks that drove him to leave high school come for most of it because of his father’s debt. Hyun decides to train for a year with the money left over and then join the new VR game Royal Road to gain money that way. He’ll eventually become the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (against his will) and have many adventures. It has 58 ‘volumes’ and is complete.

Finally, I also finished The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. I continued with Countdown to Destruction the first one-shot. I’ve mentioned it before here, but it’s the fanfic storyline of the end of Power Rangers In Space. After that it was Forever Red, the second one-shot. This one follows the crossover of the same name, in the Winged Lord storyline. However, Tommy and Kim’s daughter is kidnapped as part of it, and he doesn’t tell Kim. I’m sure you can see how that’ll end. Now I’m ready to read the sequel!

After I finished those, I decided to listen to Solidarity Among Students, Class 1-A Edition by Jetstream. This is a My Hero Academia fic told through chat-logs. After the elections, Eraserhead creates a class chat and the usual shenanigans happen. Relationships happen because of it (including homosexual ones [Don’t Like, Don’t Read]). The main ones are: Toru/Mashirao, Kyoka/Momo and Izuku/Ochaco(With maybe Tsuyu later). It’s fun with 33 chapters, but is sadly unfinished and hasn’t updated since 2021.

Onto the quest, first is Elemental Sky by sakurademonalchemist. This is a KHR and Naruto crossover that I’ve talked about before here. Basically Nana is sisters with Gaara and his siblings mother. Fem. Tsuna (Nozomi) learns of this when she’s ten and goes to visit them. She’s able to keep Shukaku calm and allow Gaara to sleep. She ends up going with the siblings to Konoha for the Chunin exams and changes things. It has 9 chapters and sadly hasn’t updated since 2018.

Second is Elimination by White Angel of Auralon. This is a Naruto AU one-shot set after Mizuki’s betrayal. Someone sets things up for three of the new graduates to die before the team announcements. They are Sakura, Sasuke and a random other graduate. This leads the Hokage to change the teams and Naruto ends up with two new characters. How will this change things?

Third is Elves by kb0. This is Harry Potter one-shot where the Potters had an elf. She follows Hagrid to the Dursleys and calls other elves to help free him from unwanted magics. This includes the Horcux. She takes him away and sets things up for the Horcuxes to be destroyed. Her actions even manage to accidentally free Sirius. It’s a fun little fic.

Fourth is Embracing Destiny by White Angel of Auralon. This one I talked about last post here. Fifth is Emerald Flight Book One: Union by megamatt09. This is a Harry Potter and Superman: The Animated Series crossover with Harry/Kara. Harry and Kara meet at Vegas after fifth year (though Sirius faked his death) and the end of the Superman series and get married. This has lots of consequences, but they’ll get through it together. [Content Warning] All three of this series are Mature fics with sex scenes like all of this author’s fics. [Content Warning]

Sixth is the sequel Emerald Flight Book Two: Conqueror by megamatt09. It’s been a year since they got married and Harry and Kara are dealing with a lot. However, Zod is on his way and the two add several other Karas to their relationship. Seventh is the final Emerald Flight Book Three: New Krypton by megamatt09. Harry and his Kara wives have dealt with Zod, but now Darkseid is back and they have to deal with him and whatever else comes. This is the last book in this series.

Eigth is Endothermic Reaction by ShamelessWhisper. This is a My Hero Academia AU. Izuku is born with a quirk, but it’s too powerful and can harm people if he makes a sound. After an accident after getting his quirk he’s worked to never speak. He gets into UA, but not everyone thinks he should be a hero. In fact, Tomura actively wants him on his side. However, Ochaco wants him to stay with her. What happens? We’re told, but the story is incomplete. The author didn’t want to write to rest and so just did a summary in the last ‘chapter’. Put this in here before the last chapter, lots of angst and not many happy things make me think I’ll probably delete this fic from my app.

Ninth and last is Energy Materialization by Layser_22. This is another MHA AU where Izuku has a quirk. However, that doesn’t mean he’s not an outlier anyway. In this universe, only women got quirks and men gradually stopped being born. Now there aren’t any men until Izuku is born. How will his life go as the only man in a world of superpowered women? It has 14 chapters and has been on extended hiatus since 2021.

So, hopefully the extended post helps make up for the missing one last week. Hope you have a great week! Next week’s post might be late as well because I’m going to the Go Tour at the Rose Bowl Stadium. I’ll be wearing an Instinct yellow shirt and hat. See you then and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Links Can Make You Late – 2026

Hello, readers. Sorry this is late, once again getting links has made me late. I have to sadly report that I didn’t get the position. Apparently, I made it into the top 5, but someone else was chosen. I don’t know who as it hasn’t been announced, but I really hope it’s someone from outside and not inside the company. Anyway, we’re busy now with an event coming up, so I’m putting off thinking about other things (maybe finding another job as I won’t leave until I have another job) until after that’s done.

I have a few changes in my listening list; first is that, on Audible, I finished Reborn as a Space Mercenary vol 13 and then read By the Grace of the Gods vol 8. Ryoma helps out at his friend’s wedding before heading home. However, he soon leaves to go help out another set of friend’s village. There he’ll have many interesting experiences, including his first negative interaction with a God. Read and find out how things go!

I also finished with that one and started In Another World with My Smartphone vol 6. Touya is searching for a part of Babylon that can help him fight the Phrase. However, things aren’t as easy as that. Especially when one of his friends comes to him begging to become his fiancée as well. Otherwise, she’ll might be engaged to a vile prince. How will he deal with this situation? Read and see!

I also finished My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist and decided to read Beyond the Outer Gate Lies by gaberiel blessing. It’s a Harry Dresden and High School DxD crossover I’ve mentioned it before here. A Harry from the later books, ends up in the void battling the Those Who Came. He defeats them, but after escaping from Great Red, he ends up in Kouh de-aged to a teenager. His humor and interactions with the supernatural elements is hilarious after he gets used to the fact things are different from his world. This is complete and even has spin off fics from another author.

Forging Destiny by White Angel of Auralon is completed as well as it’s sequel – Embracing Destiny. This one is for Harry’s fourth year after the events of Forging Destiny. Sirius is free and Minister. He interferes and changes the tournament to make it more interesting. Now Harry is able to enter if he wants and be part of a team. How will it go and will Dumbles manage to get Harry back on his side? Find out part of it as the 17 chapters end in the middle of the second task. The author hasn’t been back to this one since 2017, even though they’ve written a lot after.

When I finished with that one I started Taking Control by fake a smile. It’s an after fifth year Harry Potter fic that I’ve mentioned before here. Sirius visits Harry the summer after his death to help him prepare for what’s the come. This includes teaching him magic and how to become an animagus! However, Dumbles doesn’t exactly like Harry’s new plans and Hermione and Ron keep sticking their feet in their mouths. Ginny, however, is his biggest supporter. It’s complete and even has a sequel.

Finally, I finished vol 4 of Dahlia in Bloom – Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools, where I remember leaving off, I really need to finish the series at some point. I decided to restart and relisten to Life’s a Pay to Win Game by UnholyExcaliber as part of the cycle. It’s fun and I don’t mind listening to it again now that I’ve finished all the current chapters (109 just came out).

Onto the quest; first is Dumbledore’s Army by Bobmin356. It’s a sixth year Harry Potter fic that I’ve mentioned before here. Harry gets a magically spelled letter from his dead parents and Sirius (spelled before Lily died, but from their spirits) telling him how to get his life in order. A retired American squib helps him and his friends get ready for the war. It’s Harry/Ginny and has some dark scenes. It’s completed and has a sequel!

Second is the last of the D’s – Dusk and Dawn by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and My Little Pony crossover I’ve talked about before here. Fem. Harry (Dawn) is really Twilight’s sister who was stolen by Fawkes. She finds a spell to take her home after the trial goes wrong before 5th year. She and Sirius take it and interact with the MLP cast. It has 14 chapters and was last updated in 2014.

Third is the first of the E’s – Earning Her Stripes by ack1308. This is a Worm AU where the trio (yes, those ones) get three power granting vials. Emma and Madison take them and join Sophia in becoming superheroes. However, they want their own villain so dose Taylor. However, as things do, she Escalates. How will things go? Read and see. It has 48 chapters currently and was last updated last year.

Fourth is Effects and Side Effects by Pheonix Dawn. This is an end of 5th year Harry Potter AU that I’ve mentioned before here. Harry is turned into a girl after the Department of Mysteries when Voldie makes Draco give Harry a potion to get his soul fragment back (yes, he figured it out when he possessed Harry). However, Harry fights back and becomes more powerful. Eight school-age witches decide to help him and swear an oath to do so. Of course, this magically marries them and they all train to fight. It has 37 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Fifth and last is Elemental Harry by hermyd. This one is another Harry Potter sixth year AU. Harry and Ginny get elemental powers after his fifth year. They have to bond to control their powers (like the werewolves from Twilight, but from both sides [the author said that, not me[). How will having the power affect the fight against the dark? You’ll know if you read as it’s complete with 12 chapters.

That’s it from me and I hope we all have a better week this time. See you next time and as always; May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

A Busy Week

Hello, readers! It’s been another week and things are mostly the same. I did get an interview date for the job next week. Based on previous experience, I don’t think I’ll hear back until closer to the end up for the month about the job, but here’s hoping! I did a lot of driving on Friday and it tired me out. I haven’t done much reading for the quest this week because of starting to study Spanish. Because of that I don’t think I’ll be able to finish the last S this month, but I need to do this, so it is what it is. Because of previously mentioned stuff, I also haven’t really had a chance to try and find Alpha ? Unown.

I also finally posted the first chapter of my fic on a My Hero Academia discord to get feedback and edits yesterday. Sadly, no-one has looked it over yet, so we’ll see how it goes.

So, my listening changes this week are – I finished In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 5 and started Reborn as a Space Mercenary vol 13 as it finally came out on Audible!  This one’s always fun and I like getting back to it once in a while. Captain Hiro is back and he’s planning to head back to his second stop to officially add Doctor Shoko to his crew, however first, he has to deal with a giant space monster being unsealed. And even when he gets there, someone is waiting with a grudge. Listen to the latest book of Hiro’s misadventures!

I also got to a point I didn’t remember in A Hero Rises by Zabeck and so I switched to the compilation fic My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist. I’ve talked about it recently here, though the posts after that one have more information on specific stories in it.

That’s it, so it’s time for the quest – first is Displacement by cloud_nine_and_three_quarters. This is an MHA story set at some point after they leave UA and Izuku still has One-For-All. Izuku is thought to have been killed two years ago and Bakugo is still chasing the villain that did it. However, things are not as they seem and he wasn’t killed, just displaced, in time. This is great fic and is even completed, worth a read.

Second is Distance Learning for Fun and Profit by mp3.1415player. This is a Worm AU where Taylor is very smart without powers and manages to make a machine that can pick up what she assumes is alien learning programs. She uses them to learn how to make things that aren’t tinker tech and confuses the world. There’s no Emma conflict in this one as she’s been in a coma since the attack. Sadly incomplete, but I hope it gets finished eventually.

Third is actually a omake of the previous story – Distress Calls Can Go a Long Way by mp3.1415player. It’s a Mass Effect crossover where Tali’Zorah is stranded in a dead ship and manages to make a weird gravity machine to help bring her help. However, it gets the attention of Taylor and she makes contact. Tali’Zorah and her people are in for some interesting times. Also incomplete, but at a good stopping point.

Fourth is Do I Have a Purpose Anymore? by Kingkakashi. This is a Naruto fic with a bit of Bleach crossover. After having all three of his girlfriends be stolen from him by their teammates, Naruto has enough. He leaves the village to find his purpose, however people just won’t let him be for one reason or another. Also he finds out that swords have souls, what’s that about? This is a heart-wrenching story that is complete! Also, don’t read if you like Kiba, that’s all I’ll say.

Fifth is Do You Even Lift? By TanJaded. This one is Youjo Senki two-shot about Tanya/Visha. Visha finds out about Tanya’s muscles when she walks in on Tanya winning a competition in the gym. This leads to her mouth getting ahead of her and blurting out a suggestion. Tanya takes that as a challenge and that’s history. A fun little fic.

Sixth and final is Dodging Prison and Stealing Witches – Revenge is Best Served Raw by LeadVonE . This is a wrong Boy-Who-Lived Harry Potter time travel fic that I’ve talked about before here. Harry is sent to Azkaban at the end of his second year for supposedly killing Ginny (his brother’s [John] girlfriend). He stays there for many years until after Voldemort takes over. He’s accidentally sent through the Veil of Death and Death and Fate show up. It turns out this is the second time through and last time they sent John back even though he wasn’t the Boy-Who-Lived. This time they send him back even farther. The catch? The John that was sent back will be there too eventually. He decides to get the good witches first while working the political landscape to his liking. However, this doesn’t mean things won’t go wrong. This is a very interesting fic with 69 chapters; however it hasn’t been updated since late 2024.

That’s it for this week. I hope everyone has a safe week and I’ll see you at the end of it. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Hello, everyone! I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a great one! Mine was fine, I had to do a lot of work during a church service because of system issues, but we think we’ve figured it out (I hope {We did!}). They announced who got the upper-level position at work but haven’t put lower-level job up to apply to. Hopefully, it’ll happen soon, but you never know.

So, I’ll talk a bit about the Dungeon Crawler Carl book that I mentioned last time. Carl was chasing his ex-girlfriend’s prized cat (Princess Donut [insert long name I’m not going to repeat]) at night, outside in a blizzard without pants, when the apocalypse came. Aliens flattened all structures and anything that had a ‘roof’. They then announced to the survivors that they had to either live with what was left or join a dungeon crawling game to try and win the planet back. Carl grabbed Donut and bolted to an entrance to survive. He didn’t expect for Donut to gain sapience. Now he has to go through the Dungeon without pants and with a ‘royal’ cat. His most common phrase is “Dammit, Donut.” It’s worth a read and is part of a series.

So, changes to what I’m listening to – I rushed through Yet again, with a little extra help by Third Fang. This is because of what I mentioned about its sequel being next on the list. I read the one right behind it, but I managed to finish and am now reading the sequel. I don’t have its replacement yet, so I’ll mention it next week.

Because of that, I only finished The Echo Ranger by Xavon Wrentaile and that only because I hadn’t read past the 22 chapter. I’m now almost finished catching up to it’s current chapter, 29. The next one I’m listening to is A Hero Rises by Zabeck. It’s a My Hero Academia fic that I’ve mentioned before in the quest here. It’s a longer fic, but I’ll remind people. [*A warning, this has explicit sex scenes, don’t read if you’re underage or aren’t interested*] It’s an Izuku/Himiko/1-A girls fic, just so you’re forwarded.

Onto the quest, first is Constellations by UnwelcomeStorm. This is a Worm and Okami games crossover. Taylor first meets Amaterasu in her great wolf form when she’s lost in the forest at summer camp when she’s young. Taylor names her Sunshine (Sunny) and they meet up irregularly. After her mom dies and she’s alone, Sunny comes saves her flute. After an odd sequence of events, including accidentally convincing Oni Lee that she’s a Miko; she and Sunny end up fixing up an abandoned shrine. It’s an amusing fic and Danny’s even a cape in this one. It has 54 chapters, but hasn’t been updated since 2021.

Second is Contractual Obligation: How Visha Secured her Position as Adjutant for Life by TanJaded. This is a Youjo Senki (which is finally getting a second season next year) short fic. After years, the war is finally over and the 203rd is back in the capital. Tanya (who’s 18 by now) tells Visha that she won’t be her adjutant forever. Visha decides she doesn’t like that and looks into how she can be her adjutant for life. This leads her an interesting document that means she can take care of Tanya for life. The only thing is getting her to sign it. (And yes, I’m referring to getting married). It’s amusing little finished fic.

Third is Coping Mechanisms by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR fic I’ve mention before here. Tsuna finds out that his mother is more lucid when he’s dressed up as a girl, so he decides to do it more. He’s found out and is helped by Hibari, as long as he helps keeps the girls away. Then Fon breaks the seal, and they really can switch genders. It has 8 chapters and is of course, unfinished since 2017.

Fourth is Corpse Cleaner by also by sakurademonalchemist. It also another KHR fic I’ve mentioned before here. Tsuna is a corpse cleaner in Italy at a young age. He gets along well with the Varia and they helped him to find his grandmother. How will the Vongola deal with a former cleaner as their heir? You’ll barely find out here, because it only has 7 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2019.

Fifth is later in a series, so the first one is The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. This one is a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger fic with Tommy/Kimberly. [Warning there is rape and noncon sex scenes at the beginning] While Tommy is under the evil spell, he kidnaps Kim. He does somethings he wouldn’t normally do and they become more connected then normal. They also have a kid. It goes through Turbo.

Next in the series is the actual next one for the quest, Countdown to Destruction. Tommy, Kim and the other rangers are contacted by the Space Rangers about an attack coming to Earth. Will things go the same way as in the show? Read this one-shot to find out.

Sixth and finally is Crimson Typhoon by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Naruto and One Piece crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Shanks is Kushina’s father and comes for fem. Naruto. She joins his crew and changes things up. It has 8 chapters and is hasn’t been updated since 2014.

I’m getting things ready for Christmas, and I have a recital coming up, but things are normal other than that. So, as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
