Lost Track of Time

Sorry, this is late everyone. I actually forgot that it was 2 weeks since the last post and am just working on this post today. Works been still kinda slow, but I finished the first step of my pet project and even went to my first at out-of-town location assistance for this position (with a co-worker). I also posted my 7th chapter of my fic!

Other than that, there’s not much so I’ll just talk about what I’m listening to. First is that I finished She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 5 and started Now I’m a Demon Lord! Happily Ever After with Monster Girls in My Dungeon Vol 2. After retrieving Illuna in the previous volume, a Hero is sent to deal with him. However, she’s just a scared little girl and Yuki takes pity on her. Together, they and Leffy go to the town to figure out what’s going on; Only to be caught in an attack on the town by zombies. What’s going on and will Yuki actually have to work? Find out in this volume (It’s the last one currently on Audible).

I also finished it (yesterday) and started Campfire Cooking in Another World Vol 3. In this one Mukohda has to deal with his now three familiars asking for food. They’re heading to a dungeon city; both to dive into the dungeon (though Mukohda doesn’t want to) and to find someone to butcher an Earth Dragon. Will everything work out? Find out in this volume.

I also finally finished Black Sky. I did my random number generator and first got Queens of Cosplay by sakurademonalchemist. This one is a crossover between Sekirei and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. In this one, Uzume is winged by Hayate before the Wolkenritter show up. How will the Sekirei handle the other aliens that want to deal with the book? And will a certain hacker deal with the book’s issue? Find out, somewhat, in this one. It’s incomplete with 4 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Next in the RNG was Between Lies and Truth by sakurademonalchemist. This one is Harry Potter and KHR crossover, where Harry is Colonello. After the war, Harry runs away, changes his looks and joins the Italian Military. There he meets Lal Mirch, who he eventually manages to win the heart of. How will his old friends react to this? This one is also incomplete with 10 chapters and was last updated in 2018.

Finally, the RNG landed me on Chaos Hunter by (and this just shows how many fics I have from this author. It was not intentional) sakurademonalchemist. This one is Supernatural and Slayers crossover where Lina ends up in the SPN universe. Lina meets Sam at his college and they hit it off. She ends up joining them on their hunts and reveals her magic. Turns out The Lady of Nightmares made a bet that she couldn’t change the Apocalypse. How will Lina change things? Find out partially in this fic. It’s also incomplete with 11 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Finally, is that I finished Lone Traveler: The Greatest Minister in History and Stories of the Lone Traveler. I moved onto the next one in the series Further Adventures of the Lone Traveler. This one continues LT Harry on his trip to help those he’s sent to. This includes Klingons and other people. The story is 33 chapters and complete. However, this one also has side stories, and I reached the first one.

It’s called Lone Traveler: Cockups and Snorcacks. In this traveling, LT Harry finds himself at the Second Task and things have gone wrong. The Merpeople are about to kill Gabrielle and he stops them. This leads to the revelation of many problems and Harry is left to solve them. And what’s this about Snorcacks? It’s complete with 11 chapters.

Onto the quest; first is Harry Potter and the Dimensional Trunk by Ophiuchus. After 5th year, Ron sends Harry one of a paired trunk that has a dimension that connects them. The other is owned by Ginny and they use it to train and help Harry during the summer. Harry gets closer to Ginny. Umbridge is still around and causing problems. How will things turn out? This is a complete fic with 23 chapters and is worth a read.

Second is Harry Potter and the Four Founders by Darth Marrs. *Content Warning* This one has underage sex and a harem. Don’t like don’t read. *Content Warning* Harry is the heir of the four founders and bonds with one girl from each house (and eventually one of his own) and their power is the one Voldie knows not. It’s complete with 30 chapters and has several sequels (but those are all crossovers and much later in the list).

Third is Harry Potter and the Four Heirs by Sinyk. This is fic where Harry and three other characters (Neville, Susan and Hermione) are the four heirs of Hogwarts. Merlin doesn’t like how the future turns out and so decides to train Harry and then the others young. This is their story. It’s complete with 30 chapters.

Fourth is Harry Potter and the Journey Through Time by sbmcneil. This is a one-shot where Harry and Ginny travel back in time to change the future. It’s set after he gets to shell cottage and they’re using a time turner from Malfoy’s. They end up at the beginning of 5th year and I wonder who they can save from then? It’s a good read.

Fifth is Harry Potter and the Long Summer by sbmcneil. This is another one-shot, but it’s set at the summer before second year. Harry is not rescued by the Weasleys and does not show up for school. This is the story of Minerva McGonagall going to find out what’s going on.

Sixth and last is Harry Potter and the Mutant Obscurus Gamer by GnomeBob. This is a crossover between Harry Potter, Marvel and the Gamer. Harry becomes an Obscurial and blows up before he goes to Hogwarts. Several Godlike entities change his fate and resurrect him with the Gamer power. He accidentally speed-runs his Hogwarts years and ends up in the wider Marvel universe. It’s interesting but weird. It has 123 chapters and is complete.

That’s it for this week and I hope to see you in 2 weeks. I’ll have more information on things then. Have a great few week and as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

Listening Changes and Life Update

Hello, readers! It’s been two weeks and I hope you’ve been having fun and keeping busy. I’ve been doing that with learning what I need to do for my new position! There’s a lot to learn and I’m glad everyone’s willing to help me learn it. In other news, it’s becoming more of a pain to look up the first time I’ve mentioned a fic, so I won’t be adding that link to the fanfic descriptions anymore.

I’m also still going through my Pokémon card collection. I’ve got all the extras out and now I’m going through them to see if there are any that people online are interested in. There’s still a lot of bulk, but some are worth a bit. I’ve also started scanning my dvd/blu-ray collection to make a cloud drive so the household can watch them without having to ask me for them and also not rent a movie when I have it because they don’t know/remember about it.

Though I haven’t had as much time to listen, it’s been two weeks and I was close to finishing a few fics so there’s more than what I thought had changed. This is what has changed; first is that I finished Now I’m a Demon Lord! Happily Ever After with Monster Girls in My Dungeon Vol 1 and moved onto Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Vol 2. In this one Mukouda continues to travel with his two familiars; Fel and Sui. He’s just arrived in a country and learns he has to re-register with the Adventure’s guild because he’s hasn’t been able to do a quest in a while because of traveling. He aims to slowly build up his rank before continuing on his journey, but will his familiars have something to say about that. Also, it seems more goddesses have learned about him and is this a new familiar? Read all about it in this volume.

I also finished that one and moved onto She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 5. In this one, Mira continues to look into clues about her missing comrades. She rides the incongruous train to follow the trail looking for Soul Howl. With new comrades and her summons will she get any closer to finding anyone? Find out in this volume.

I also finally finished A Young Girls War Between the Stars and decided to relisten to the DSR series by PixelWriter1, starting from the prequel stories. First is It All Started At The Museum. This one is a one-shot that tells the story of how the four OC magical girls in the main story got their powers and started to do magical girl work. Second is When Ranma Met Aiko (and Tamiko and Fumiko and Misaki). This one is another one-shot that like the title says, is about how Ranma met the four previously mentioned magical girls. This one is set a while before the end of Ranma ½.

Third is Aftermath. This one is a two-shot that tells what happened in the incident after the failed wedding at the end of Ranma ½ from both Kasumi and Ranma’s POVs. The last prequel story is The Fugitives. This directly follows the previous and shows the two how got away started hiding from the Narima Wrecking Crew and were able to live their own life.

Finally, I’m now onto the main fic, Desperately Seeking Ranma. This is a crossover between Ranma ½ and Sailor Moon, but SM is on the sidelines until the later chapters. However, the last arc has been dealing with them. It tells the story of Ranma and Kasumi as magical girls, but told from the POV of Nabuki. She eventually finds them and ends up getting sucked into their orbit (and become a magical girl too). It’s fun and a great fic with 98 chapters. Sadly, it hasn’t been updated since 2016, but the author likes to post that they’ll finish it. Their last post on their profile was in 2022 though.

While not finished, I momentarily paused Black Sky because there was a side story to read, Yesterday’s Tomorrow by Umei no Mai. This one tells of Tsuna’s experiences in the fake future; something he can tell immediately, because *spoiler* he’s not the tenth anymore as he lost the ring battles *spoiler*. He thinks of it more like a video game, and to be frank, it acts like it. This one is finished with 3 longer chapters. Now that it’s finished, it’s back to the main fic and the consequences of that happening, and Dorea and Xanxus are not happy.

Next we finally finished the Game On series that I’d already read. I finished Game On! 3.2 and moved onto Game on! 3.5. This is a one-shot that is the transition chapter between the 3.0 stories and 4.0. It shows how the world changes from Earth to the world of the Naruto world. Tuskiko is much diminished because of helping her people and the aftermath of the human’s war. This is interesting and shows how things are different and the same in this new Naruto world.

When I finished that one, I decided to relisten to Life’s a Pay to Win Game by UnholyExcaliber. If you don’t remember this one, it’s a crossover between Mobseka (Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs) and The Eminence in Shadow. The two worlds are merged and both MCs are born in their respective families. The author does a fantastic job of mixing both plots and making them make sense and interesting. It’s currently complete with 117 chapters, but the author essentially paused it because there’s not much more story for EiS and most likely will continue when either several volumes of it comes out or it finishes.

Next is more side stories for Stories of the Lone Traveler, but we’re actually almost to the end of this story in the list. The first one is Lone Traveler: Babylon 5 Universes. This one contains all the Babylon 5 crossovers from this ficlets, eventually separated because many people (like me) haven’t watched it and so don’t know much about the characters. It has 18 chapters and is listed as completed. I haven’t finished it because I’m focused on the chapters directly referenced in the main story at this time.

The second one is Lone Traveler: Initiative and is with a crossover world with both Buffy and West Wing in it. LT Harry appears when the military is messing around in Sunnydale. He goes to the president and is lucky because he happened to save Josh’s sister from the fire (that killed her in the main series) in the past. How will they handle it? It’s an interesting little story and is also complete with 8 chapters.

The third and the one I’m currently on, is Lone Traveler: The Greatest Minister in History. LT Harry shows up right after Fudge is elected and helps him to become a competent minister and deal with issues so Harry doesn’t have to. Thus, he becomes the title. It’s also complete with 17 chapters.

Skittering Campione was also completed and I chose to listen to Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies That Won’t Stop Bugging Me by Seerking. This one is archive of Worm AU first chapters and sometimes first arcs of stories that the author didn’t want to continue and left for others to use if they wanted to (and give them credit). It’s mostly Taylor getting other powers or where things went differently in the main story. There are many crossovers and I’ve talked about most of them before. This author still hasn’t posted at all since last year, but the last time this one was in 2024.

Lastly, I finished My Hero Academia: The Golden Light of Hamon and decided to add a recently finished fic and listen to it. The Finding by kb0 is Harry Potter fic where Harry and Ginny touch before he leaves on the train before first year and have a Greater Finding. This is in essence them finding the best person for them, there are also Lesser Findings (that Arthur and Molly have). This and Harry’s wandless magic that he’s been using for a while are the main first changes. He decides to live at the Burrow and learn magic with Ginny for his first year. There are many more changes in the 39 chapters of the story. It’s worth a read.

Now it’s time for the quest stories; first is Harry Potter and the Bonds of Blood by Darth Marrs. This is a darker soul bond story. Riddle tries to take Ginny’s soul before he’s destroyed but Harry saves her. However, things don’t go back the way they came and their bonded. This is not all good, as they are not automatically in love and clash. They have learn to live with each other and survive. This is complete with 52 chapters.

Second is Harry Potter and the Chance at a New Life by kossboss. This one is a crossover with Stargate: SG1. Harry combines with Riddle’s memories after the basalisk vemon destroys the Horcrux. This eventually leads him to decide to leave the wizarding world (after years of preparation) through the Veil, which is really their version of the Quantum Mirror. He comes out from Stargate’s Mirror long before SG1 finds it. He takes over Pelops when he tries to possess him. Watch as Harry takes over and makes his own kingdom to fight for the galaxy. It’s incomplete with 19 chapters and was last updated in 2024.

Third is the last fic in a series *Content Warning* There is sex, quite a bit, in all of these. As it’s set at the beginning of 5th year quite a few of them are mid to late teens and adults with Harry. Don’t like, Don’t Read.  *Content Warning* So the first one is Harry Potter and the Witch’s Secret by Selector. When Harry arrives at Grimwald Place, the unattached ladies can tell his magic is calling to them as he wasn’t taught to control it. So his magic calls to unattached ladies to help control it through the above-mentioned activity. This is very ridiculous, but it caught my attention when I was younger. It also has some early Underworld elements. It’s complete with 53 chapters

The second one and actual sixth fic for toda is Harry Potter and the Dark Lady. A Dark Lady wants Harry, but only for herself. She and her minions attack to bring him to her side. It’s complete with 36 chapters.

The third one (in both places) is Harry Potter and the Corvinus Strain. This one is the full crossover with the Underworld series. Harry and the girls help and interfere in said events to help get to the ending best for them. It’s also complete with 17 chapters.

The fourth is also the second in a series. The first one is Harry Potter and the Power of Emotion by Melindaleo. Harry is not okay after the end of his fifth year, but will he be able to accept the help he needs to heal? Ginny helps him and they get closer. A 6th year fic where Harry learns his power is affected by the love of those around him. It’s complete with 37 chapters.

Its sequel is Harry Potter and the Curse of the Damned. Harry has to continue to grow in power while dealing with Vodlie. However, now Voldie knows the prophecy and is working to turn it in his favor. How will Harry end the war? And what is the Curse of the Damned? It’s complete with 33 chapters.

The fifth fic and last fic for today is Harry Potter and the Daft Morons by Sinyk. This is another favorite fics with a smart Harry. Harry uses the first task of the Triwizard tournament to reveal a lot of manipulations that he’s had to deal with. How does he know this? Because he is immune to mind magic and so when he’s been Obliviated, he remembers. Harry works to deal with the daft morons around him to get the wizarding world back on track. It’s a Harry/Hermione/Daphne/Fleur story. Sadly incomplete with 84 chapters and not updated since 2018.

That’s it for this week. It’s a bit longer than I thought with all the side stories in the listening list. Have a great two weeks and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

A Slight Change and the Continuation of the Harry Potters

Hello, readers! Sorry this is late, but I decided over that first week to start doing every two weeks from now on. This is mostly because I’m starting my new job in the coming week and I want to focus on that.

I’ve several other things I’m also working on as well. The quest, obviously, of which I’m still switching between the really long webnovel (that I’m on chapter 884 or so of over 2000) and the next fanfic in order. I’m currently on “The H”es. I’m going through my Pokémon card collection in preparation of taking all my extras to somewhere in town to sell it in bulk. I’m also trying to get through both my manga and anime backlog. All while trying to work on my fanfic (which I just today finished Chapter 15 of).

Anyway, onto the listening changes: I finished She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 4 and moved onto a new light novel Now I’m a Demon Lord! Happily Ever After with Monster Girls in My Dungeon Vol 1 by Ryuyu. This one is a classic isekai where the MC, Yuki, dies and is reincarnated as the Dungeon Master. In this case, he becomes a Demon Lord and encounters the might dragon Lefisios. After subduing her with sweets she lives in his dungeon. He’ll meet plenty others to bring him more into this world and it’s issues.

I also finished Game On! 3.1 and moved onto Game On! 3.2. This one also continues in the same life, thus 3.2. As previously mentioned, this one is a crossover with ½ Prince the manhua. Years after 3.1, Fate lets her know of a hero who could use her help. Fang Lan gets angry at her twin brother and decides to play the new VRMMO Second Life as a male. She’s allowed this special exemption as the first player. Tsukiko joins her to help her get more confidence and to find out about the souls she can feel in the game. How will things turn out? Read in this completed fic with 10 chapters.

This next ones are more side stories for Stories of the Lone Traveler. First was Lone Traveler: Here Comes the Marine. This one is a crossover with NCIS where Gibbs’ wife is Lily’s cousin. The Lone Traveler arrives to help the local Harry as a child, only to discover that he’s actually Gibbs’ son as James couldn’t have children (Harry was blood adopted). It follows them finding the Gibbs and Harry life with them afterwards. It only goes to leaving for Hogwarts, but is complete.

Second was Lone Traveler: Harry Potter in Arcadia. This one is a crossover with Joan of Arcadia. It’s a two-season series about a girl who can talk to God and he gives her tasks (that I now own but haven’t watched). This one starts near the end of the series and actually completes the plot that the series ends on. Harry meets God himself and learns that one of his children set him on his journey. Harry himself teaches Joan a bit about the ripples of events. It’s complete as well.

Third was The Lone Traveler in a Galaxy Far, Far Away. This one is a crossover with Stars Wars: A New Hope. Harry pops up in a certain pub and meets God there. His form is a punk  kid (apparently there’s a horrible species that dresses like that) and he goes with Harry on the Falcon with the rest of the crew. It’s a short silly fic.

Fourth and last of the side stories was Lone Traveler: The Slytherin Chronicles. Harry pops up the Snape’s first day as a professor. He decides to help the house learn was ambitious really means. Snape begrudgingly goes along. It’s complete and goes an interesting direction.

Next I finished The Rising of the Shield Heroine and moved onto Reality Bites Worm by Selector. This is a Worm fic that I first mentioned here. Taylor triggers earlier and gains a slightly different power. She soon gathers an all-female team that makes changes soon after debuting. It’s an interesting fic, but sadly is incomplete with 37 chapters. It hasn’t been updated since 2019.

I also finished with that one and started Skittering Campione by Greatazuredragon. This one is a Worm and Campione! crossover that I first mentioned here. At the end of Worm, Taylor is instead to the Campione world where she reincarnates as one based on killing Scion. She soon faces off against Heretic Gods with names that are familiar to her. How will she deal with everything as a Campione? Read here for a least some of it as it is incomplete with 16 chapters. It was last updated in 2020.

Finally, I finished Cloudy, with a Chance of Freedom and did a random roll that landed on My Hero Academia: The Golden Light of Hamon by SeerKing. This is MHA fic (no duh) with a slight JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure crossover. At almost the last day, Izuku ‘awakens’ a quirk with the powers of Hamon from JoJo. This allows him to defend himself against Bakugo and exposes the inattention of the teachers. Both children are moved to other schools and Izuku learns more about his quirk. It’s very interesting, but sadly only has 6 chapters. It was last updated in 2023.

Now for the quest; first is Harry Potter – Three to Backstep by Sinyk. This is a Harry Potter time travel story that I first mentioned here. Harry dies in a different Final battle and learns this is the 6th time he’s died. His Guardian Angel lets him know that he’s being sent back with his memories this time along with Hermione and Daphine Greengrass to 4th year. They are given a soul bond and begin to fight back against those looking to oppress and enslave them. It’s competed with 50 chapters.

Second is Harry Potter: To Love is To Live by kb0. This is a Harry Potter AU where Ginny actually gets over Harry in his 4th year. However, Harry likes her and in 5th year when it seems like she is completely uninterested in him, he gets sicker and sicker. Will Harry and Ginny get together or will things end badly? Find out in this completed fic with12 chapters.

Third is Harry Potter: Unspeakable by kb0. In this one, Harry is approached by the Unspeakables after his fifth year and is offered a position with them. He takes it and they help him find a way to defeat Voldie. It’s complete with 14 chapters. It even has two different endings with two different girls (and the omake one is Ginny).

Fourth is Harry Potter: Choices by kb0. This is a Harry/Ginny story I first mentioned here. Harry decides after his 5th year that he needs to start making his own choices. Firstly, changing his Magical Guardian and then who he’s interested in. It’s a Soul Bond story, but with more depth and an interesting ending for Voldie. It’s completed with 34.

Fifth is Harry Potter and Fate’s Debt by Intromit. Before Harry leaves to go to Hogwarts for the first time, he receives a letter from his future self. It tells him that Fate owed him one to get to know Ginny. He does and this changes many things. Yes, it’s another Soul Bond story. Sadly, it’s incomplete with 27 chapters. It was last updated in 2008.

Sixth is Harry Potter and Godric’s Legacy by hermyd. This is yet another Soul Bond Harry/Ginny story (I didn’t realize there were three in a row). After 5th year, Harry is fed up with Dumbles and gets help from an unexpected source. Turns out there’s a second part to the prophecy and Dumbles is trying to take a role he’s not meant for. Harry and Ginny get together and work to defeat Vodlie (who’s worse in this one). Completed with 15 chapters.

Seventh and last is Harry Potter and the Artificer Legacy by Kairomaru. This is a favorite and was first mentioned here. Harry discovers his magic early because the Dursleys are nicer. This allows him to start creating magic artifacts before Hogwarts and that becomes his passion. He wants to become an Artificer and ends up with three girls; Penelope, Tonks and Fleur. It’s complete (I guess I haven’t read it recently) with 85 chapters and is a great fic.

That’s it for this time. As I mentioned, my next post will be in two weeks and I’ll let you know how my new position pans out! Be Excellent to Each Other and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Setbacks Can Affect More Than Just Your Mood

Hello, readers! Sorry this is a week late.  I’ll talk more about why a bit later. I’m back home and it was a fun trip. I did go there for a small church thing, that went well. I saw some old friends and met new people. I also hung out with my friend and we visited a few places in the area. Overall, it was a nice relaxing trip. Both of my flights on Thursday even landed early (which was good as I might not have made my connection otherwise).

While I was on my trip, I got notified that the interview for the position I applied (within the company) for would be on the coming Monday. I prep for that and because I had a few things to do, I planned to write last week’s post on Monday. However, I got notified before I even left that I didn’t get the position, not even 2 hours after my interview. This got me a bit depressed, even if I didn’t expect to get it after some mistakes in the interview.

I’m just a bit tired that I’ve worked for the company for over 5 years (including when I was a temp) and I’ve only had a slight pay increase (after the state/city pay increases). I mentioned wanting to prove I had company loyalty in staying 5 years to a friend and he said that no one cares about that anymore. I’ll have to really think about what I want to do.

Anyway, the rest of the week was busy and the coming weeks will probably be on and off. I did the Pokémon Go Community Day and got all three shinnies to have a complete set. Forgot to evolve them yesterday, but whatever.

So for reading changes, most of them are changed. Starting off is that I finished off She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 2 and then listened to Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life Vol 3 (unfortunately it’s not connected correctly to the first 2 on Audible). In this one, two of the Crimson Vow have their history come back to haunt them, and surprisingly one of the Isn’t Mile. Mavis’ noble family want her back and Pauline’s adopted father wants her back for nefarious purposes. Will they be able to deal with both them and stay as a team? And what’s this about a wyvern?

I also finished that one and continued onto The Saga of Tanya the Evil Vol 3. In this one, Tanya is involved in an outrageous attack to try and put an end to the war on the Rhine Front. Can she and her team do what they need to do and deal with the consequences? And even if they do, will the rest of the world allow them to be the victors? Find out in this volume!

I also finished A Place in My Dreams and moved onto another fanfic from Seerking, Swordsaint. It’s a SAO AU that I first mentioned here. It follows an OC who goes by the game handle Joan. She’s also a beta tester and programmer and has a great hatred for Kiyaba. She’s one of Kirito’s best friends and has no romantic interest in him. It currently has 29 chapters and they’ve escaped SAO. However, even though it’s the next in the schedule for the author, like I’ve mentioned before, they haven’t posted at all this year.

Next, I finished Game On! and moved onto the next one Game On! 2.0 by nordiamus. I’ve mentioned this one recently, but it follows growing god, Harriet Potter to her next life helping in the Fullmetal Alchemist universe as the youngest Elrich. Will a certain person from her last life find her and remember who he was?

Also finished was Muggleborn Teacher and I moved onto Harry Potter: The Lone Traveler by The Professional. As mentioned previously here, this is an AU where Harry is alone after the war and tries to go back, but it goes wrong. He ends up being sent to places in time to help deal with an issue before going to the next place. One of the stories is expanded into its own story, so I have include it as I’m on the that one before coming back to this one.

It’s called The Story of the Guys by The Professional. In the original section, there’s a small intro chapter before the Lone Traveler shows up. However in this the story has at least 7 chapters before he shows up. In this universe, Harry is the in the trope of the Wrong Boy Who Lived and they think that his brother Michael is the BWL. He is neglected by his parents and siblings and ends up in Slytherin. There he gets along with several other outcasts that becomes The Guys. Follow them and their eventual meet up with The Lone Traveler.

Star gazing is finished and I started listening to Legion by NeverTooOld. This is a Worm AU that I first mentioned here. Things change when Taylor is left for days in the locker and comes out maimed. Withdrawing from school, she moves on with her life until the heroes come asking about bullying and powers because their pet killer claims she was attacked. Taylor triggers again, expanding her powers, and Amy has to spend four days healing her. They bond and start a friendship then a relationship (that might be pushed on by their powers). I wish I knew how this story ends, but it hasn’t updated since 2017 and based on the health issues the author had I don’t think they’re with us anymore. There’s still a great 24 chapters to read though!

Finally, I also finished Pokemon: Shadow of Time – Kanto Arc. As I don’t remember much of the next one in the series, I moved onto an oldie but goodie, Ashes of the Past by Saphroneth. It was one of the first fanfics I mentioned on the sites, here. This is another Ash time travel story, but nicer. Cyrus comes back at the end of Unova and resets the universe. Arceus saves Ash and Sir Aaron trains him in aura. They send him to the start of his journey and he’s able to remind his team and friends (though Arceus, Aaron and the Space and Time Dragons are in a time bubble and are a continuing amusing side story). It’s currently got 305 chapters and they’re at the end of Sinnoh. Sadly, while the author is still writing fanfics, they haven’t updated this one since a update of the first 42 chaps in 2023. Still worth a read!

At last, we move onto the quest; first is God Slaying Blade Works by Marcus Galen Sands. This is a Fate/Heaven’s Feel True Ending and Campione! Crossover that I first mentioned here. In the True Ending, Shirou doesn’t come back and in this fic, he, Illya and Angra Mayu are transported to the Campione world. There Shirou kills Angra Mayu and becomes the eighth Campione. They try to get back to their world, while figuring out their new powers. They crash the main story after the Voban fight and Shirou tries his best to act kingly, which is very amusing. It currently has 47 chapters and was unfortunately last updated in 2021 because they are working on their original novel, which I just found, that can be found here.

Second is Going on a Unicorn Hunt by sbmcneil. This is a cute little one-shot about Ginny, Bill and Harry. The summer before his third year, Harry runs into the siblings going to get a wand made for Ginny. We then learn of how she got the unicorn hair when she was young.

Third is Golden King of Zero by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Familiar of Zero and Fate series crossover that I first mentioned here. Louise summons Kid Gilgamesh instead of Saito. This changes things and it turns out a grail war is happening now. It only has 10 chapters and is an okay read. It was last updated in 2016.

Fourth is Golden Queen by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Harry Potter and Fate/Stay Night crossover I first mentioned here. Fem Harry (Kaede) ran away from a deal to sell her in Fuyuki after the 4th war and accidently summons a part of Gilgamesh. He saves her and becomes a kid to be closer to his summoner. It’s an interesting little 16 chapters, but it was last updated in 2014.

Fifth is Gorgon by sakurademonalchemist. This is another Harry Potter and Fate/Stay Night (UBW) crossover that I first mentioned here. Illya ends up in Diagon Alley after she’s killed and finds she’s in the past. She goes to Hogwarts to make Harry’s life better. It’s amusing but sadly only has 7 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Sixth is taken by a prequel, but it’s actually the third in the series. Lights Will Guide You Home (And I Promise I Will Burn For You) by by rayrae118 is the sequel to It’s OK Not to Be OK (But I Promise, I’m Trying) and Every Tear Fall Down for a Reason (But I Promise I Won’t Cry for You). This fic covers Harry and Ginny’s sixth year. How will butterfly effect continue to influence this year? Will Dumbles still die? This is completed with 22 chapters.

Seventh is the actual sixth, the final fic in the series, Got One Hundred Steps to Go (Tonight I’ll Make It Ninety Nine) by rayrae118. Harry and his group work together to make Voldy mortal again in a massively changed war. Will everyone make it out alive in this fic? Read to find out. It’s complete with 24 chapters.

Eighth and last is Gothic by Brennus. This one is a Harry Potter AU where Harry was raised by Sirius and is a bit darker than normal versions. Ginny never met Harry at school, and he finds her being blackmailed by Draco Malfoy sometime after the end of school. He convinces her to work for him to find the pieces of a precious jewel. They go on an adventure and may find out more about themselves. It’s darker then you think and complete with 9 chapters.

Well, it’s long to make up for being late. Hope everyone has a great week and I’ll see you at the end of the week. I almost forgot to mention the new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer and that it looks like it’s coming out next year. At least I hope so! As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

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!
