I’m So Sorry and Finally the End of the Quest

Hey everyone… Yeah, sorry I haven’t posted these last few weeks.  I was busy, but I’m not afraid to say that I’m generally slightly depressed and that hasn’t really helped.  It’s nothing new, but it hasn’t affected the blog so far, so sorry again.  Other than that, things have been happening in PoGo and Wizards Unite.  PoGo has the Jirachi special research out and the Legendary Dogs are available for a few more days with a shiny chance along with Unowns spelling ULTRA out in 10km eggs.  Next week is a shiny Mewtwo chance and the following week 5th gen starts to come out.

For Wizards Unite there was an event last weekend where eggs were available through different colored 1km portkeys.  The rewards for that event will happen tomorrow with a dragon that’s not usually available in your region available for 3 hours.

Pokemon Masters app is also available now for your phones.  It’s a three vs three fight with gym leaders and other Pokémon trainers as your partners and opponents.  It’s fun but not as good as PoGo.

I spent a lot of the time rereading Pick Up the Pieces and Rebuild, Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion V2, Black Sky, Yesterday’s Tomorrow, and am now rereading Ripples, & Another Fine Mess.  The new chapters are (for the last three weeks): An Essence of Silver and Steel (1st Sun & 2nd Sat), Compass of thy Soul (1st Mon, 1st Thurs, 2nd Mon, 2nd Wed & 3rd Thurs – [Last Chapter]), Headstart, Trump Card (Last 2 Chapters), Mauling Snarks (1st Mon, 1st Fri, 2nd Mon, 2nd Fri, 3rd Mon & 3rd Fri), Exodus, Worm – Justice For All (2 Chaps), Luna Lovegood and Dark Lord’s Diary (Last Chapter), Hybird Hive: Eat Shard (1st Wed, 2nd Wed & 3rd Wed), Supernatural Drabbles, New Beginnings (1st Fri, 2nd Mon & 3rd Fri), Trail by Fire (1st Fri, 2nd Mon & 3rd Fri), Relic of the Future (2nd Sat & 3rd Sat), The Importance of Intent: After the Credits (Last 2 Chapters 2nd Sat & 3rd Sun), The Unseen Hunt (2nd Sun & 3rd Sat), Souls of the Heart, By Your Side is Where I Belong, Taylor Varga (Omake & Interlude), Service with a Smile, Campione of the Raging Tides, Seerking Asylum, Mending the Knots, Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo, RWBY: Destiny of Remnant, History’s Strongest Disciple Again?, I, Panacea, Less Than Zero, Code Geass: Lionheart of the Revolution, Playing Our Roles, Sealed Legacy, Broken Dreams, Go Away I’m Watching Porn, Flames, Ashikabi of Thunder and Lightning, Short Story Drabbles & Taylor Hebert, magical girl at your service. (Yeah, a lot I know)

So, I’ve read a lot, but I did finally finish the quest I set, I really forget how long ago.  Here are the last stories from Mryddin de Celestis.  EvoNet is a Harry Potter and Stargate: SG1 crossover.  Harry has his magic sealed and is exiled to the muggle world for trying to give everyone magic.  His parents and siblings do nothing, and most are in favor.  He finds a way to give magic to everyone anyway and helps the muggles become the third player in the war.  Also he helps SG1 with things.

A Supernatural World full of Paranormal Activity is the newest rewrite of their Harry Potter and King of Bandit crossover.  Harry runs away at five because he’s neglected in favor of the ‘Girl-Who-Lived’.   He’s trained by the King of Bandit and becomes powerful.  He goes to help his sister before her sixth year and ends up with a harem (or will).

hacker Magician: Smoke is a Harry Potter fic where Harry is technologically savvy and learns how to hack magic.  He becomes Smoke in his fourth year and starts gathering a team to change the magical world.  All under Albus’ nose.

Triad: Elements of Balance is a multi-crossover with Naruto, DC Universe, Twilight and Harry Potter being the main ones.  Many girl-girl relationships in this one.  Bella becomes a mutant able to control the powers of the different Lanterns, Fem. Harry vows revenge when they try to marry her off to Ron and Fem Naruto abandons Konoha and then leaves the planet.  Yeah, it’s weird, but fun.

Stop the Monster is a Harry Potter story where Daphne Greengrass decides to help Fem Harry in fourth year.  She wants to stop Dumbles from controlling her.  Also, she likes her.  And Luna and Ginny also get together with Slytherins.

I Know Your Secret is a Harry Potter fic where Fleur knows Harry is a girl in disguise and decides to seduce her.  They create a school newspaper and use it to expose all of Dumbles and the other’s secrets.  It has a short (not complete) sequel called I know Your Secret 2: Foretold where Skulduggery Pleseant is introduced.  That is also the end of the quest, Haza!

Brother, My Brother is a Harry Potter & Final Fantasy VII crossover by sakurademonalchemist.  This is another one where it was in the compliation fic.  Genesis is Harry’s older brother who was accidentally sent to the world of FF VII.  Harry goes to find him and makes life better, and more interesting.  Now has three chapters.

Blood in the Water is Naruto fic by Umei no Mei.  Shisui is saved by an OC who is a Kiri ninja he knocked up.  This changes things.  It’s a crack-fic (meaning is going to be silly) and the author claims Shisui is Hoshigaki Shizuma’s father.

Mirror, Mirror is a Harry Potter one-shot by kb0.  It has Sirius asks a few questions and gets Harry to answer his mirror early.  This changes many things.

Rituals is a Harry Potter fic by Epeefencer.  Ginny is super smart at a young age and starts doing rituals to help and protect Harry.  Only the first chapter is out.

Yeah, that’s it for the week(s).  Sorry again, I’ll do my best so that it doesn’t happen again.  See you next week and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

One Year Anniversary of the Blog!

Hello readers!  As you could tell from the title of this post, today is the one year anniversary of my blog!  Thanks for everyone’s support over this year!  So much has happened, both with the blog and my life since then.  I’ll make it nice and long post for everyone today!

The HP: Wizard’s Unite app is having an event for the next few days in preparation for the start of Hogwarts (Sept 1st if you didn’t know).  You’ll be able to find a student from each of the houses to save out in the wild and following the event tasks and getting 5 Portkeys you’ll be able to get everything (it’s not hard, I just have the Portkeys left myself).  Also tomorrow is the Shiny Suicune event on PoGo.  For three hours all gyms will have Suicune and there’ll be a Shiny chance!

This week was mostly rereading stories that I’ll talk about later, but I did reread a little of Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion V2.  The new chapters this week are: Relic of the Future, The Unseen Hunt, Compass of thy Soul (Mon & Thurs), Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Celestial Worm, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, FateKaleid Prisma Taylor, Trail by Fire, Short Story Drabbles, New Beginnings & Famiglia Drabbles.

First, I’ll talk about a web novel, that’s now a light novel I’ve been reading called ‘I Said Make My Abilities Average!’  It’s about a genius recent high school graduate who died saving a young girl from being killed by ‘Trunk-kun’ (lol, it seems many isekai (transported other world) stories happen because of a trunk and now it’s a meme).  God allows her to be reincarnated with her memories because the girl she saved will help humanity later in life.  She asks for her abilities to be average because she received too much attention and sadness for being a genius.  Needless to say, God averaged everything from all races, not just humanity… Thus began Mile’s (her new name from a little while in) amusingly ‘average’ life.  It’s fun and will be animated soon!

I started reading Mirrored Dimensions as part of the Myrddin de Celestis Quest.  It’s a rewrite of Burst Realities with Stephanie from Skulduggery Pleasant series as his main girl instead of Ginny.  It’s okay, but pretty much the same as before.

I also read more (recently, not just this week) from White Angel of Auralon.  How Harry Turned Hogwarts Around is a Harry Potter fic where Harry goes back in time to make things better.  He gets a mastery in Potions and becomes the potion professor instead of Snape.  Things are changed, but it’s kinda bland.

Liliko is a one-shot Harry Potter and Naruto crossover.  Kushina is taken from her deathbed and dragged into past and deaged.  She’s forced in to the role of Lily Evans and eventually forced to marry James.  This is her story about trying to escape and return home.

Overheard Conversations is Harry Potter fic.  It’s a two-chapter year one fic where Harry overhears McGonagall and Flitwick talking about how he’s not trying hard enough and living up to his parents.  He takes this to heart and decides to change.

The Witches Conspiracy is another Harry Potter fic.  In it four women (Longbottom, McGonagall, Sprout and Figg) decide to help Harry before he goes to Hogwarts.  They invite him to an specialty school after his first report card.  He goes to school with Nevile and eventually others.  It goes through first year and is really interesting.

I also read some interesting Worm fics – Exodus is a Worm and Big Hero 6 crossover by Zaru.  Taylor at the end of Worm is cast into the realm where Hiro and Baymax are saving Calhan’s daughter.  They bring her back and she eventually recovers.  She joins them and things get interesting.  Yep, people start to trigger…

Taylor Hebert, magical girl at your service is a Worm fic with magical girl elements by Aurora Moon.  The ‘light’ Gods decide to help Earth win and infiltrate the Queen Administrator shard and make Taylor a magical girl while at camp.  It’s not far in and Taylor doesn’t really trust her animal guide, but it looks fun!

Jurassic Tinker is a Worm and Jurassic Park crossover by Geno515.  A DNA tinker Taylor ends up on another Earth be for Zion shows up.  She decides to help Hammond create his Jurassic Park.  When people start to trigger, she helps those she can.

Taking Control is a Harry Potter fic by fake a smile.  It’s a complete fic where Sirius helps Harry in his dreams to take control of his life after fifth year.  It’s a Harry/Ginny fic and Ron and Hermione aren’t their greatest selves in this fic.  Has slightly OP Harry, but not overly so.

Free Life is the sequel to Taking Control.  He’s taken control and now he’s free from Dumbledore, but Voldie is still around.  It was interesting but hasn’t been updated since 2011.  Sad since I read it long ago and was hoping for more.

I hadn’t mentioned it before, but I’m a singer.  I haven’t done much with it, but I went to a meeting of a barber shop quartet chorus this week.  It looks to be interesting.  Would y’all be interested in hearing me sing?  Leave a comment with a yay or nay.  If people are interested, I’ll see what I can do.

That’s all for this week.  Thanks again for a great year!  See you next week and as always May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

A Long Week and More Fics (to Make Up for Last Week’s Absence)

Hello my readers!  Sorry about not posting last week.  I was busy and the weekend wasn’t any better.  I’ve worked 51 hours this week and am looking forward to a quiet weekend.  I’ve finished rereading Seerking’s Asylum and continued rereading some more of Ashes of the Past.  The new chapters over the last two weeks are: How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave Me My Quirk, Relic of the Future (1st & 2nd Sat), Gun Bunny, Taylor Varga [Main Story], Email Exchange (2 chaps), The Unseen Hunt (1st & 2nd Sun), Ginny’s Plan (Last Chapter), Deku: The Telekinetic Hero, Celestial Worm, Compass of thy Soul (1st & 2nd Mon, 1st & 2nd Thurs), Mauling Snarks (1st & 2nd Mon, 1st & 2nd Fri), Taylor Varga [Side Story/Omake] (1st Tues & 2nd Thurs), Trial by Fire (1st Tues, 2nd Mon & 2nd Fri), Wyvern, Playing Our Roles, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard? (1st & 2nd Wed), Broken Dreams, Seerking’s Asylum, An Essence of Silver and Steel, FateKaleid Prisma Taylor, Honestly Harry – Year of the Spares, The Importance of Intent: After the Credits, The Lady of the Flies (2nd Mon & 2nd Thurs), Famiglia Drabbles (2nd Mon & 2nd Fri), Service with a Smile, Heroes Assemble!, Titanfall, Luna Lovegood and the Dark Lord’s Diary, Archer and The Dragon’s Knight.

Before I get to the fanfiction, I wanted to talk about an interesting anime I rewatched the first season of recently.  Psycho Pass is psychological dystopian crime anime.  While the rest of the world is in chaos (or so we’re led to believe, there’s not much mentioned outside of Japan and that’s only in the Movie), Japan is a ‘utopia’ because the Sybil system can read people’s Psycho Pass (aka their intentions and motives [in general terms]) and judge if they are a ‘latent criminal.’  Instead of police there are now Inspectors and Enforcers.  Inspectors what you expect them to be.  However, Enforcers are ‘latent criminals’ that work for the law for a little bit of freedom.  Follow Akane as she becomes an Inspector and learns the reality behind their ‘utopia.’

For the Myrddin de Celestis quest, The Dragon Phoenix is a multi-crossover based on Harry Potter.  It has Harry becoming the Dragon Phoenix! A role that means the world is soon to be at risk from ‘The Storm’ a mysterious tragedy that will be the end of the world unless he defeats it.  Eventually a Harry/Ginny story, mostly.  It has elements from Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, W.I.T.C.H, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon and more!  It’s not complete and is sort of overcomplicated.

The Soul Within is a Harry Potter fic.  It has Harry having a twin only he can hear that he wants to give a body to eventually.  Looks to eventually have him with his twin and the Greengrasses. Only three chapters, not complete.

Shifting Destiny is a Harry Potter and X-Men crossover.  It has Harry ending up married to Pixie after a trip to Vegas.  He joins the X-Men and gets away from the Wizarding World.  Only four chapters, not finished.

Buffy of the Rebellion is a Buffy: The Vampire Slayer fic where Buffy dies, but has her heart restarted before she even goes to Sunnydale.  She escapes and learns more about the Supernatural world while learning how to defend herself.  Things still happen with the new Slayer in Sunnydale.  Sort of interesting, but isn’t much. Not finished.

Out of Reign is a Harry Potter fic.  Harry finds his mother’s trunk in the attic after second year and learns some new things.  He pretends he’s normal with the Dursley’s help to fool Aunt Marge.  Not finished, only three chapters.

The next few fics are by White Angel of AuralonRedirection is a Harry Potter fic.  It’s a Marauder era fic where Sirius figures out that some of their pranks are going to too far and changes himself.  A girl finds she likes his changes and they get together changing things drastically for the war.  It’s interesting for only 3 chapter.  It’s complete!

Changed Past is a Harry Potter one-shot.  When chasing a criminal, he ends up in the past.  He decides to change somethings, but not too much.  It’s interesting how things can change so much and yet stay the same.

Irish Home is another Harry Potter one-shot.  Harry decides to go live at one of his family’s houses instead of going back to the Dursley’s after first year.  It’s about how he adjusts and meets the people around him.

The last fic I’ll mention is another new one from sakurademonalchemist.  It’s a Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist crossover called New Beginnings.  In it, Ed is Fem Ed and Fem Harry (who is from sometime after the war) offers to cover the cost of Alphonse’s body and soul.  Now a voice in Fem Ed’s head Fem Harry helps them out.  Read the first chapter (at least) in the compilation fic and am looking forward to more chapters.

I could post more, but I need to add the links to the post and do some other things.  Look forward to next week’s post!  May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

A Sad End to a Week

Hello everyone!  This week was cooler, and I didn’t work as much, but it was also sad.  A co-worker I didn’t know that well passed out and was taken to a hospital yesterday.  We were informed this morning that she didn’t make it.  I don’t know the circumstances as my bosses didn’t know, but there were some emotional outbursts trying to get the company to change some things.  I can understand, but I didn’t feel comfortable with them using what happened to her to try and change things.  I know that people will be looking into how what happened, happened, but things done emotionally in this sort of situation, don’t usually end up going the way you want.

Moving on from that, I finished Harry Potter and the Mutant Academy and reread more of Desperately Seeking Ranma and started rereading Seerking’s Asylum.  The new chapters this week were: Relic of the Future, An Essence of Silver and Steel, Mending the Knots, The Unseen Hunt, Seerking’s Asylum, Compass of thy Soul, Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Service with a Smile, Short Story Drabbles (Tues & Fri), Trial by Fire (Tues & Fri), Cage, Price of Blood, History’s Strongest Disciple Again?, The Healing Touch, Heroes Assemble!, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, Titanfall, Taylor Varga, Ginny’s Plan, Under the Sea, Worm: More Than Meets The Eye, It Gets Worse & Harry Potter and the Chance at a New Life.

There was a Community Day for both Wizard’s Unite and Pokémon GO over the weekend.  The WU one was more of a having more of everything than more of one (although 9 ¾’s foundables were more common in my opinon) and the PoGo one was one mudkip (I got 4).  PoGo also introduced Team GO Rocket and Shadow Pokemon this week.  You can Purify them and make them stronger.

*Spoiler Warning*

So, I saw the new Lion King over the weekend and it wasn’t bad, but it was essentially an almost exact copy of the original, just in ‘live action’.  They changed some of the dialogue and some scenes slightly, but no much.  They made the ‘Be Prepared’ song more of a speech and had Nala leave for the Pride Lands before Simba had his revelation.

That wasn’t to say that I didn’t like it, but I didn’t feel that I really needed to spend the money to see it in theaters.  My biggest problem with it is that in the later scenes, I couldn’t always tell Nala and Sarabi apart.

*End Spoiler Warning*

So I decided to continue the Myrddin de Celestis quest this week.  Soul Armoury (and yes, that is how they spelled it) is a one-shot that I’m surprised wasn’t put in into Mystical Codex.  It’s a Harry Potter fic that has the Dursley’s dropping Harry at his grandparents soon after getting him and they go to Japan to get away Dumbles.  Not much here other than the info section has him at least getting together with the Greengrass sisters.

enLivened Player is a rewrite of at least the previously mentioned ‘Player.’ Sirius fakes his death and leaves a letter telling him (in double speak) and Harry decides to take control of his life (and do as many girls as he can).  He does become a vampire in this one.  There’s also a bit of DC Universe crossover at the end.

Cybertech: War of Evolution is a Marvel and Harry Potter crossover.  It has Harry abandoned with the Dursleys because of a prophecy saying he’ll reveal the Magical World.  He gets away from them and becomes a bigshot tech person.  He finds the Magical World and his twin sister while becoming a superhero and decides to reveal it.

Cybertech: Open Worlds is the sequel and has it and the DC universe merging over a few years.  It’s not finished, and I’m not sure it will be (but maybe because they also were not put in Mystical Codex).  Harry (or Kyle as he renamed himself) goes to the DC universe to help with the ‘convergence’ and helps his younger self from that universe.

Armoured Skill is supposed to be a rewrite of Cybertech stories, but earlier in the Marvel universe.  It’s not really very long and Open Worlds has been updated more recently than this one so… yeah.  Same premise, he just ends up with his ‘grandmother’ and goes against the Magical World because they ‘kill’ his girlfriend (he puts her on ice in the hopes he can revive her).

That’s all I’ll talk about today!  Hope you have a great week and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

An Arifureta Week (with Mostly Work Otherwise)

Hello friends!  Thanks to those who liked my last post!  How was your week?  Mine was okay and mostly filled with work.  I also had to deal with an ant invasion in my room this afternoon.  Any way mostly reread Desperately Seeking Ranma and continued reading Arifureta.  The new chapters this week are: An Essence of Silver and Steel, Gun Bunny, Relic of the Future, Hive Daughter (Sun & Mon), The Unseen Hunt, Taylor Varga (Omake Sun & Tues), Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo, Short Story Drabbles (Tues, Wed & Thurs), Trail by Fire (Tues, Wed & Thurs), Zero no Tsukaima: Saito the Onmyoji, Hybird Hive: Eat Shard (2 Chaps) Ginny’s Plan & For the Honor of the Regiment.

I really didn’t read much else over the week, but Umei no Mai did put out a chapter of a new fic called Compass of My Soul.  It’s a Naruto SI (or self-insert) where the character is born to a merchant family in the Uchiha Clan.  However, it’s not during the normal story, it’s set during the waring clan era. It looks interesting because she remembers things about the story as she grows up.

I’ll talk about other stories that I read last week or the week before that I didn’t have time to mention.  The first is Daphne Greengrass and the Importance of Intent by Petrificus Somewhatus.  It’s a completed Harry Potter story where in 6th year Harry goes to Daphne for help in killing Voldie.  It’s about how the intent of the spell influences the effect.  Obviously a Harry/Daphne story.

The Importance of Intent: After the Credits is a sequel by the same author.  It’s a set of side stories showing the future of the characters in the original story.  Interesting and still updating occasionally.

I also read some White Angel of Auralon stories.  Gabriel is a story of Potter twins, where things went very differently.  Harry is thought a squib and sent to a muggle orphanage, while his brother is sent to the Dursleys and lives the ‘normal’ Harry Potter life.  Harry, not knowing his name, becomes an assassin.  He is hired against some Death Eaters and ends up changing the war.  Fun and complete!

Another was Hagrid’s Fame.  It’s set when Tom first opens the Chamber of Secrets.  Hagrid does some investigating and helps find and destroy the basilisk.  This changes the course of the wizarding world.  A very nice little one-shot.

Noticed is a two-shot Harry Potter story where the bullying by his house in first year leads Harry to the Hospital Wing.  There Madam Pomfrey finds evidence of his abuse and helps him to leave his relatives.  This changes many things and that’s just in the first year.  It doesn’t cover any more,but leaves it open to maybe continue.

Not the Smartest Witch is another Harry Potter story (the author mostly has Harry Potter or Voltron stories, as I never watched Voltron I’m not going to read their stories).  It has Harry learning that Hermione isn’t as smart as she claims to be and changing the way he studies.  It’s short but sweet.

That’s all I’ll talk about today.  I’m going to go see the new Lion King on Sunday, so I’ll talk about it next post!  See you then and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

It’s Short This Week (Cause I Work Tomorrow)

Hello, everyone!  I’m here again and I started working for the company instead of for a temp agency this week.  There was a lot of overtime this week and I’m doing some tomorrow.  I reread Harry Potter and The Chance at a New Life and started rereading Desperately Seeking Ranma (from the point I last stopped) and did the same with Ashes of the Past.  The new chapters this week are: Black Sky, An Essence of Silver and Steel, Relic of the Future, For the Honor of the Regiment (2 Chaps), Seerking’s Asylum, The Unseen Hunt, Harry Potter and The Chance at a New Life, Service with a Smile, Code Geass: Lionheart of the Revolution, Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion V2, Hive Daughter, Heroes Assemble!, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard, Titanfall, Trial by Fire and Ginny’s Plan.

*Spoiler Warning*

I saw Spiderman: Far From Home this weekend and I really liked it.  I knew Mysterio was a bad guy from information I heard about the comics, so I wasn’t really surprised.  The Peter ‘Tingle’ was hilarious, and it was cute how he and MJ got together at the end.  The side ‘romance’ of their friends was weird, but I guess some relationships are like that.

While the main plots of the story were interesting in Peter finally accepting that he’s more than just a neighborhood hero and getting together with MJ, the twists (especially at the end) are more interesting to me.  So, he’s won, got the girl and everything’s right.  Then, WAM, J. James Jameson reveals a video that accuses Spiderman of being the bad guy and reveals his identity to the world.  Really did not see that coming.  Finally, the last end credit scene with Fury and Hill being the Skrull Talos and his wife.  They talked with the real Fury about what happened and he’s somewhere in space with other Skrull.  Wonder how both will play out in upcoming Marvel Films.

*End Spoiler Warning*

I took a bit of a break from the Myrddin de Celestis Quest, but I did start reading Harry Potter and the Mutant Academy of Magic.  It has Harry getting mutant powers at a young age and the X-Men finding him and bringing him back to the Institute.  Now older, he’s going to Hogwarts to learn magic and get back at those who wronged him.  Read only 5 of 10 chapters, but it hasn’t been updated since 2013.  However, since it wasn’t put with the others, I can only assume it’ll be finished at some point.

I also read some of the web novel of Arifureta: From Commonplace to the World’s Strongest by Ryo Shirakome.  It follows the story of Hajime Nagumo, an otaku that was transported with all of his class to a magical world.  He was weaker than everyone else but had the attention of one of the most popular girls in class.  This makes at least one classmate mad and when Hajime protected them from a powerful monster, a ‘stray’ spell knocks him deep into the abyss.  He evolves there and becomes powerful but stops caring about his class and others.  He meets and frees Yue (a vampire princess) and gains God killing powers there.  It follows their story.  The anime just started, and the second episode comes out Monday.

That’s all I’ll talk about this week because it’s late and I have work tomorrow.  I’ll write more next week! May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

I’m Back (and I Completed the First Part of the Current Quest)

Hello, my readers, I am back!  Happy Late 4th of July!  So I went to Nashville for last weekend and that’s why I wasn’t able to post last week.  I had an early flight Friday and went to sleep early.  Over the past two weeks I got all the collectables in the KHII worlds and was officially hired by my work.  My first day is soon!  I got Carnivine and Tropius in PoGo and hope to get Pachirisu soon!  I reread Angry Harry and the Seven, Harry Potter and the Old Friend, Titanfall, Reality Bites Worm, Archer and Ginny’s Plan.  The new chapters these two weeks are: Relic of the Future (1st and 2nd Sat), An Essence of Sliver and Steel (1st & 2nd  Sat), Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo, Celestial Worm (1st Sat, 1st Thurs), The Unseen Hunt (1st and 2nd Sat), Devil Ninja, Mending the Knots, Worm: More Than Meets The Eye (2 chaps), Honestly Harry – The Year of the Spares, Mauling Snarks (1st & 2nd Mon, 1st & 2nd Fri), Are You Afraid of the Dark?, History’s Strongest Disciple Again?, Service with a Smile (1st & 2nd Tues), Archer, Ripples, Demon Skylark, Short Story Drabbles, Heroes Assemble!, Famiglia Drabbles, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard? (1st & 2nd Wed), Souls of the Heart, RWBY: Destiny of Remnant, Ginny’s Plan (1st & 2nd Fri), How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave Me My Quirk, Headstart, Gun Bunny, Tsunami, Seerking’s Asylum, Playing Our Roles, Black Sky (2nd Mon – 2nd Fri), Broken Dreams, Dodging Prison and Stealing Witches – Revenge is Best Served Cold, Unexpected Restart, FateKaleid Prisma Taylor, Titanfall (1st Thurs & 2nd Wed), Knight of Betrayal and Taiga Cub & Harry Potter and the Visored (a lot I know).

*Spoiler Warning*

I finally went to go see Toy Story 4 yesterday and it was as good as I imagined.  Bo Peep showed up and we learned why she left the movies originally.  The movie also brought up the question of what really counts as a toy with Forky who was made from trash and wanted to go back into it.  It also covered how toys feel about just being left on a shelf forever.  Buzz’s ‘inner voice’ was funny.

There wasn’t really a ‘bad guy’ in the movie.  Even the toy who was in the role had her reasons and got an owner.  Woody made the decision to stay with Andy instead of going with Bo Peep, but since Bonnie didn’t need him he made the opposite decision.  It’s a great movie and I enjoyed the plush’s imaginary sequences.

*End Spoiler Warning*

Signed, Anonymous by Enchanted Pink Jade is a Saint Tail fic I reread last week.  It has Meimi and Asuka Jr. exchanging a dairy anonymously talking about their problems and how to solve them.  It’s a cute little ten chapter fic that was written many years ago.

Senju Naruto is a new fic by TheBeardedOne that was started last Monday and finished yesterday.  It has Danzo trying to steal Naruto soon after the Kyubi attack and Kakashi stopping it.  He takes Naruto away and they both end up under Tsunade’s protection as her ‘sons.’  It’s a fun fic and there might be a sequel!

For The Honor of the Regiment is by mp3.1415player.  It’s a Worm and BOLO series (haven’t read it, but it has AI tanks) crossover with one of the BOLO tanks eventually taking over Taylor’s Shard.  It activates early and she is trained from an early age.  It switches back and forth between the beginning and current time.  Fun, but may be confusing to some people.

Trial by Fire is the latest by sakurademonalchemist.  It was in a compilation fic and is a Harry Potter and One Piece fic.  It has ‘Harry becomes Ace’ as the difference from Ace is Harry so we’ll see how the continuation goes.

I’ll finish the first part of the Myrddin de Celestis quest since there’s only 24 chapters left.  Chapter 71 is The Truths of Avalon.  It was a one-shot Buffy and Harry Potter crossover.  There’s no Buffy in it, but Harry goes slightly insane, turns into a girl (or was always one and it was hidden, don’t know) and escapes the Dursleys.

Chapter 72 is Thrice Bound.  It was a five-chapter Harry Potter story I’d read before.  Harry is a triplet of the two boys-who-lived and is often forgotten.  He meets Ginny and Luna on his tenth birthday and becomes soul-bound to them.

Chapter 73 is Twisting Worlds.  It was a four-chapter Final Fantasy XIII and Harry Potter crossover.  Lighting and Vanille are separated from the others and find Serah.  They eventually end up on earth and meet Harry and his twin sister who are new l’Cie.  Don’t know anything about Final Fantasy so can’t say much about this.

Chapter 74 is Two Worlds.  It was one-shot Twilight and Hannah Montana crossover (or would be).  In it Renesmee doesn’t like Jacob and rejects him.  Alice helps her move to Malibu, but it doesn’t happen in the chapter.

Chapter 75 is Lost Art.  It was a one-shot Naruto fic.  Naruto leaves Jiraya early on their training trip to learn a lost art from a book.  Jiraya doesn’t left Konoha know until he gets back at the end of three years.  They were about to go looking for Naruto.

Chapter 76 is We Will Be Heroes.  It was a one-shot Twilight fic.  The husbands of the younger gen vampires are cheating and the girls decide to become superheroes. … yeah, it’s kinda weird.

Chapter 77 is Ionic Storm.  It’s longest story here at 44 chapters.  It has so many crossovers (especially in the last chapters) that I’ll only mention Harry Potter, inFamous and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  It’s like previously mentioned stories, Fem. Harry gets inFamous powers and is brought late to Hogwarts.  Is M for a reason!

Chapter 78 is Midnight Savior.  It was a two-chapter Twilight fic.  Bella is the reborn ‘savior’ and awakens her powers before she goes to Forks.  She’ll end up with Alice, but they haven’t gotten together yet.

Chapter 79 is Upgrade Override.  It was a two-chapter Twilight and Xenosaga crossover.  Taylor goes on a field trip after Edward lives and gets infused with nanobots.  She saves Jane and they travel together.

Chapter 80 is Demonic Bloodlines.  It was two-chapter Naruto fic.  Naruto meets the Kyubi when he’s thrown off the cliff and instead of summoning a toad, Fem. Kyubi helps him.  He meets Hinata and goes to train with Guy.

Chapter 81 is Neketo Uzumaki.  It was a seven-chapter Naruto fic.  Fem. Naruto gets the Sharingan and is much better.  Yeah, not very interesting.

Chapter 82 is Hidden Element Kunoichi.  It was a one-shot Naruto fic.  Fem. Naruto pretends to be fat and only reveals she’s a kunoichi.  Fem. Sasuke (those she’s his twin) and Hinata are her teammates and they’ll end up together.

Chapter 83 is Unoblivious.  It was a 13-chapter Harry Potter fic.  Mostly one-shot stories about Harry asking questions instead of just plowing forward.

Chapter 84 is Possible Abominations.  It was a one-shot Kim Possible fic.  Ron is murdered while she’s on a mission and she promises to avenge him.

Chapter 85 is Evolution of Mana.  It was a one-shot Harry Potter and X-Men crossover.  Harry becomes a mutant while saving a girl from kidnaping and Professor X senses him.

Chapter 86 is History Reborn.  It was a two-chapter Harry Potter fic.  It’s similar to another where Harry and Ginny plan to go back to the past but is mostly only his recollections of the past.

Chapter 87 is In the Era of the Fabled.  It was a two-chapter Harry Potter and Naruto crossover.  Naruto and Harry are born with each other’s expected powers and one odd eye.  They’re connected, but Naruto hasn’t even been mentioned in the story yet.  Just Harry meeting Ginny.

Chapter 88 is Memory of the Arts.  It was a two-chapter Naruto fic.  Essentially a Missing Hokage fic, but with Naruto losing his memory and not caring about others.

Chapter 89 is Burst Reality.  It was a 19-chapter Harry Potter, Final Fantasy VII, Buffy and Code Geass crossover.  Harry and Ginny are time and space Gods to be.  Harry knows he is and dimension travels to grow up in a better environment.  He de-ages and comes back to go to Hogwarts.  It was once much longer, and Ginny knew she was one.  It also has a rewrite I’ll cover later.

Chapter 90 is Mana Uncovered.  It was a one-shot Harry Potter fic.  It has a mad-scientist Harry who makes a clone of his beloved twin sisters.

Chapter 91 is The League of Justice.  It was a one-shot Naruto and DC crossover.  It’s a slight extension of a Mythical Night that explains about Batgirl and Artemis.

Chapter 92 is Player.  It was a four-chapter Harry Potter fic (eventual DC crossover).  It has Sirius faking his death and Harry goes to Gringotts to do things.  The Order is useless, and Harry wins some money.

Chapter 93 is White Flames.  It was a three-chapter Harry Potter fic.  In it Harry gets a mysterious power and bulks up.  Possibly has seer powers, maybe.

Chapter 94 is Infamous City.  It was a two-chapter Naruto fic.  The world has much better technology, but they still need ninjas.  Naruto saves Hinata and ends up betrothed to both her and her sister.  It’s the last one of Mystical Codex, but I’ll cover the other stories next!

That’s everything for this week.  I’ll see the new Spiderman this weekend and talk about it next week.  See you then and May You Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

A Little Bit of Old and a Little Bit of New (Along with a Notice)

Hi, Readers!  Once again, it’s time for Matt’s ramblings and thoughts.  First things first, I might not post next week because I know I’ll be busy for the end of the week and weekend.  I might post Sunday but if not, I’ll post on the 5th.  So new thing with me, I’ve been working through a temp agency, but the company is hiring me now.  May not be a large increase in pay, but better benefits, so yay!  Mostly read more Taylor Varga (though I’m most re-caught up again), though I did start rereading Reality Bites Worm and Titanfall.  The new chapters this week are: An Essence of Silver and Steel, Relic of the Future, Taylor Varga (Omakes Sat & Wed), The Unseen Hunt, Deku: The Golden Saiyan Hero of Hope, Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Code Geass: Lionheart of the Rebellion, Issei – The Gaming Gear, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, Cambion, Game On! 3 1 (3 chaps), Email Exchange, Tsunami, Bits & Bobs, FateKaleid Prisma Taylor & Seerking’s Asylum (Ginny’s Plan updated as I was writing, and I read it).

I remembered an older series that I watched and liked, and I figured I’d mention it here.  Saint Tail is about Meimi, a girl who goes to a catholic school (In Japan? Just thought about that and now unlikely it is).  Her father’s a magician and her best friend is a nun-in-training.  There’s just one thing that makes her different from her peers, she’s the phantom thief Saint Tail, who uses magic.  When her friend (the nun) hears about a situation where Saint Tail can steal to help someone (like they were stolen from or to help them from a situation they’re trying to fix), she tells Meimi and she goes to steal it.  However, Asuka Jr. (a classmate) has sworn to catch Saint Tail.  She facilitates this by sending him warning notes (why? Because she likes him of course!).  There are 43 episodes and 7 manga volumes.

Moving on to the Myrddin de Celestis quest, Chapter 61 is Friend or Foe.  It was a one-shot Hannah Montana story.  It’s a weird story with Hannah sleeping with Lilly and Mikayla.  I don’t know much about the show, but I wasn’t impressed with the story.

Chapter 62 is Starlight Breaker (why a Nanoha reference if it’s not a Nanoha story?).  It was a two-chapter Harry Potter and Star Trek crossover.  All Harry wanted to do was join Starfleet, but he was stolen away by the wizarding world and forced to stay.  One day he’s going to make first contact and join Starfleet!

Chapter 63 is Harry Evans and the Daemonic Stone.  It was a ten-chapter Harry Potter story.  I read this one when it was a regular story.  In it Neville is the BWL and Harry doesn’t know he’s a Potter (never really covered this).  At Hogwarts there are 5 houses (the 5th is a muggle-born house) and Pure-bloods start at 10 not 11 like the muggle-born, along with a year of day school before that.  Harry makes friends with Ginny on the train and convince her to join the 5th house with him.  They plan to change everything!  It’s a good story and I wish it was continued.  Chapter 64 is a remake called Harry Evans and the Daemonic Mirror.  It was only two-chapters and has a different 5th house, but that’s the main difference (other than meeting the Greengrassses).

Chapter 65 is It All Ends.  It was a three-chapter Harry Potter and Naruto Crossover.  In it six lonely children share a connection that allows them to see each other and communicate.  Harry, Ginny, Luna, Hinata, Naruto and Sasuke look to gain power and take back their lives.  Doesn’t really get far past intros and what their current situation is.

Chapter 66 is Harry Potter and the Ancient Deities.  It was a one-shot Harry Potter and Percy Jackson crossover.  Harry is a Half-blood, and it’s written like a memoir.  Doesn’t get much past some foreshadowing and ends right before he talks about how he discovered about his powers.

Chapter 67 is Lost Fate.  It was a two-chapter Harry Potter (with some Hellsing parts) story.  Harry is attacked by Vernon after fifth year and decides to leave the wizarding world behind.  He’s attacked again by Death Eaters on the Knight Bus.  He’s saved by Alucard’s daughter who decides he’ll be her mate.  That’s it, pretty much.

Chapter 68 is Duel Nephilm.  It was a four-chapter Harry Potter and Devil May Cry crossover.  Harry and his sister are born with devil’s and angel’s wings respectively.  Lily protects them from everyone until Voldie attacks.  Everyone clams his sister saved them, but Lily really overpowered him and took over his group.  Harry goes to live with ‘Aunt’ Bella who raises him.  Harry and his sister (who really dislikes their dad) meet for the first time at the World Cup.

Chapter 69 is Nine Tails.  It was a one-shot Harry Potter story.  Lily and her twin sons are saved by mother and son nine-tailed fox spirits.  Lily and Harry get the spirits sealed in them, but Dumbles decides Edward (the other twin) defeated Voldie.

Chapter 70 is Epic Chronicles.  It was a two-chapter Harry Potter and Justice League crossover.  Harry tells the story as though chronicling it.  Harry saves Astoria Greengrass instead of Ginny from the Chamber.  He discovers his powers and eventually learns James Potter might not have been his father.  (It’s interesting why it’s Astoria and not Ginny).

Oh!  I almost forgot, the Harry Potter game from Niantic finally came out yesterday.  It’s Harry Potter: Wizard’s Unite.  It’s okay, but I honestly like Pokemon Go better.  I feel it should be better after 2 years of hype.   Just my opinion.

It’s been a good week and I’ll go and see Toy Story 4 at some point and talk about it next post.  See you next week or the week after!  May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

Quest Week (and I’m on Time!)

Hello everyone!  I’m on time today, so yay!  More Taylor Varga and From Fake Dreams this week.  Another one full of work, including a ‘half’ day today.  With the Chicago Go Fest happening, shiny Pokémon are more prevalent and Horsea and Abra (maybe Clefairy) are now shiny.  The new chapters this week are: Seerking’s Asylum (Mon & Thurs), Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Service with a Smile, Worm – Waterworks, Game On! 3 1, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, Heroes Assemble!, Red String, Short Story Drabbles, Demon Skylark, Titanfall, Archer, Ginny’s Plan, Are You Afraid of the Dark? & Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo.

There’s not much this week, so I’ll just get to the Myrddin de Celestis quest, Chapter 51 was Rose Potter and the Mirror of Fate.  It was a three-chapter Harry Potter story where Rose Potter is Harry’s hidden twin sister.  They run into each other on their birthday before first year at Diagon Alley.  It only really covers them shopping and going to the Weasley’s house.  It’s okay, but short.

Chapter 52 is Juniper Rose Potter is a Prankster.  It’s a two-chapter story where Fem. Harry has both her parents and is heading to Hogwarts.  On the train she meets Ginny and they vow themselves to each other.  It doesn’t go much past a different sorting hat song.

Chapter 53 is King of Bandit.  It’s the longest story so far (I know a longer one later as I looked ahead) at 28 chapters originally.  It’s a Harry Potter, Breathe of Fire and Dragon Ball Z crossover (though I don’t really know how DBZ fits in).  Harry’s parents live, but his twin is thought to be the girl-who-lived.  Harry is ignored and runs away at a young age.  He meets the King of Bandit and is trained by him.  He comes back around 6th year for a stealing job and becomes the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (but very different).  He gets together with Luna, Ginny and an Original Character and sets his sister and Hermione up with OCs.  It’s good, I’ve read it before and I’m sad to see it in here.

Chapter 54 is Hunters Guild and is a sort of reworked version of the previous story.  It was six-chapters and is okay.  Harry is taken by the ‘Hunters Guild’ when it’s learned he’s not wanted and is trained by them.  After several people from the guild give up on protecting his sister because of idiots around them, Harry’s given the job.  Essentially the same pairings I assume.

Chapter 55 is Order of the Covenant.  It was a Harry Potter one-shot where the Potter triplets are split up to protect them and meet up on their birthday before Hogwarts.  The ‘Girl-Who-Lived’ was not supposed to go to the Dursleys, but Dumbles interfered.  Can’t tell how good it is because it’s only a chapter.

Chapter 56 is Demonic Wars.  It was a Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon (though it’s not shown) one-shot.  In the second series, Sakura is attacked by a demon after she turns Watery.  This leads her to liking Tomoyo(?) and running away to protect her family.  Like I said, no Sailor Moon yet.

Chapter 57 is Fade into the Shadows.  It was an eleven-chapter Twilight story.  Before Bella goes to Forks she learns she’s a reincarnated ninja and retrains herself.  Same basic plot except that Edward and Alice switch places (yes that means he’s with Jasper, get over it).  Things are different, but you’ll have to read to find out.

Chapter 58 is Uncharted Void.  It was a five-chapter Harry Potter and Skulduggery Pleasant crossover (though once again, no Skulduggery Pleasant in it as far as I know).  When Harry goes down the pipe to save Ginny in CoS, he ends up far deeper than he expected.  He fights ancient creatures and learns things before he fights Tom.  Skips most of third year and is changing the timeturner incident like the CoS.

Chapter 59 is Fallen Star. It was a two-chapter Twilight story.  It’s a stupid little one where after Edward dumps her she gets powers (from a meteorite?) and ends up gathering girls to have sex with and fight evil and stupidity (I think).  Yeah, don’t really like this one.

Chapter 60 is Fairytail World Tour.  It’s was Harry Potter and Fairy Tale(?) one-shot.  While at the DoM in Year 5 Harry ends up in the world of Fairy Tales, but things are very different.  Can he fix things, who knows, it’s only a chapter.

That’s it for today, thanks for reading and hope you have a great week.  May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Sorry! Longer Work Week (with the Quest!)

Sorry I’m late!  I ended up working Friday and went to sleep early and yesterday I was helping my mother out with an event along with Pogo Community day so I never got around to it… Anyway, been listening to more Taylor Varga and From Fake Dreams.  The new chapters this week are: Black Sky, Relic of the Future (1st Sat, 2nd Sat), The Unseen Hunt (Mon, 2nd Sun), Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Viridescent, Kaien’s Fate, Aizen’s Experiment and Ichigo’s Sister, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, Demon Skylark (Wed & Thurs), Ginny’s Plan, Famiglia Drabbles, Short Story Drabbles, Seerking’s Asylum, Devil Ninja, Titanfall, Deku: The Golden Sayian Hero of Hope & Game On! 3 1 (2 Chaps).

The first story this week was The Bug-Type Queen by LordCirce.  It’s a Pokémon and Worm crossover when Taylor is blasted into the Pokémon world by Bakuda.  There she finds she can communicate with bug-type Pokémon.  It covers her journey to find her way back while protecting her hive.  There are flashes of when she gets back, but there are only a few.  It hasn’t been updated since 2016, but hopefully it will be eventually!

Next is A Skittering Heart by stewart92.  It’s a Worm and Kingdom Hearts crossover where Taylor becomes a Keyblade wielder.  She teams up with Parian.  It also contains Final Fantasy elements.  It hasn’t been updated in a year, but it has 43 chapters.

Next was Newtype Bet by Arthur Hansen.  It’s a Gundam UC and Worm crossover where Taylor triggers as a Newtype.  She builds Gundams to fight the Endbringers, but it doesn’t get that far.  Only 5 chapters and it hasn’t been updated in a year, but it’s interesting.

With Time is a Danny Phantom fic by PhantomPhoenixGirl.  It’s a characters’ watch the show fic.  It doesn’t follow the show directly, but picks the episodes to view.  It’s fun, but only 4 chapters.

The next chapters for the Myrddin de Celestis quest start with chapter 42 – Lightning Slayer.  It’s a Harry Potter, inFAMOUS (the game) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover that was three-chapters.  It has Fem. Harry being dropped off in LA as a kid and getting the electrical powers from the inFAMOUS game series.  She becomes a protector and when she comes of age, she decides to head to Sunnydale and see the Hellsmouth and the Slayer.  Rated M for obvious reasons.

Chapter 43 was Lightning Strikes and was most likely the story that prompted the last story cause it was in 2012 and this one was in 2011.  Its ten-chapters and has Fem. Harry with the same powers, but in London.  She meets her ‘family’ fighting Death Eaters and learns she has a twin sister.  She decides to put up with her family that hates her (because of Dumbles) and enter the magical world during ‘third’ year.  It has a Negima crossover, but it’s inconsistent because Eva and Chachamaru are mentioned as being friends before they even enter the story and introduce themselves… so yeah.

Chapter 44 was Rise of the Black Phoenix.  It was an eleven-chapter Harry Potter story where Harry is left for dead in a forest so the Dursley’s can stop the letters.  He finds his way to where he meets Ginny.  Because of his injuries he doesn’t go to school that year and stays with Ginny.  They decide to make their own organization to correct the world.  It’s okay, but the author says his 12th birthday is his 11th before ‘2nd’ year.

Chapter 45 was Order of Souls (the sort of remake of the last story).  It was two chapters and is sort of the same, but he spends less time outside and they focus on the shopping trip for him.

Chapter 46 was End of Worlds.  It was a three-chapter Harry Potter story that was really weird.  Before Harry goes to Hogwarts, he and many others are killed in the ‘Kaleido Event.’  The Powers That Be bring him back… Yeah, I really don’t get this one very much.

Chapter 47 was Divine Sight.  It was a ten-chapter Naruto and Harry Potter crossover.  In it, Harry doesn’t have magic, but chakra.  He’s looked down upon but does his best anyway.  Eventually (like on the last ‘chapter’) Naruto and Hinata are transported to Hogwarts and don’t know how to get back.  It’s okay, but not the greatest in the world.

Chapter 48 is Hyper Saiyans.  It was a ten-chapter DBZ story where Chichi dies in childbirth.  Gohan takes care of Goten by himself and eventually goes to high school to be able to graduate.  He meets Videl and things happen almost the same up to where she finds out, which is where it ends. Chapter 49 is Dragon Ball Acceleration.  It’s the same (only one chapter), but has him meeting Videl in a tournament and getting a date.  They meet again in high school.

Chapter 50 was Blood War.  It was actually their first story and it shows.  It’s a seven-chapter Harry Potter story where Harry and Ginny are connected to the ‘Source’ and allows them to communicate with former hosts of the ‘Source’ (mostly Gods and such).  They’ll become the mysterious Lord and Lady Phoenix and fight Voldemort.

That’s it and sorry again.  I’m also working on a database of the Pokémon I have, so that’s interesting.  See you all on Friday!  May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key! (BTW the trailer for the KH III DLC is out!)
