Reorganizing Can Make You Late

Hello, everyone. Sorry for missing last week’s post. I was busy rearranging my books and other items during the long weekend. Then I tried to donate blood, but there were issues that meant I wasn’t able to actually donate (to do with situational issues not anything new) and had to wait for another two months. I gave up at that point and decided to do a double update this week.

As for work, it’s been the same. I applied to a slightly off the mark (for me) position and haven’t heard back if I even actually qualify. We’ve also started doing the summer work and it’s causing space issues. There was even a meeting on Friday that went late, so I get to leave early tomorrow!

I’m also on the last four Alpha Pokémon in Legends Arceus (the four fossils) after that it’s just GMax female Venosaur and I’ll have all the extended Living Dex (that I made up myself). That means all the forms, gender differences, GMax and Alphas (plus the hat Pikachu that can be on Home) [Along with both genders of the last two with gender differences]. I also did get the regular Switch version of Legends Z-A and did the trade Alpha evolutions of Pumpkaboo (all Sizes) and Feebas (Male and female). All that’s left is to continue working to get all of them to level 100. They’re all at least level 35 and most are level 50. Some are 100, but it’s a matter of stages; 20, 35, 50, 70, 90 and then 100. Oh, and I just posted the fourth chapter of my fic, Theurgy Thru Replevy. Please check it out with the link on My Fanfics.

Anyway, it’s time for the listening changes. I finished Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life Vol 2 and listened to Youjo Senki Vol 2. In this one, Tanya gets to take her newly formed battalion and go to three fronts of the war! She follows her orders, complaining in her head the entire time about them and her troops being battle happy. However, everyone else sees her as the battle happy one. Follow her on a trip of misunderstandings and war.

I just finished that one and started on She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 2. I haven’t gotten far in this one (like 5 minutes), but I’m fairly sure this one is more about Mira trying to find the other 7 sages. She’ll go to a dungeon to try and get some more information about one of them. Will she find one or more? I guess we’ll find out.

I also finished Parenting is not a Varia Quality part of the story and so that slot will just be Black Sky for now. Then I finished Back to the Beginning and decided to listen to I am [Redacted] by Titus621. It’s an MHA fic where Izuku didn’t got to UA but went to America to study with All Might instead (and it’s implied that AFO and his group followed him there). It’s set three years after the 1-A graduated and Nimbus or Redacted is the number 1 hero. He’s called Redacted because his identity is hidden to protect his family and all the line says is Redacted. In reality, it’s Izuku and he starts to get close to Ochaco when her new agency is near the restaurant his parents own. Watch their relationship grow and Izuku realize that maybe he’s going about things the wrong way. It’s completed with 22 chapters!

I got a point in A Darker Path that I don’t remember, so I stopped listening and changed it to Constellations by UnwelcomeStorm. It’s a Worm and Okami crossover that I first mentioned here. Taylor meets Amaterasu in her Great Wolf form when she’s young and gets lost at camp. She pops up again after Taylor’s mom dies and continues to come and cheer her up and encourage her to draw. When her flute is damaged, Sunny (what Taylor calls her) fixes it. This eventually leads to her becoming the Miko of a falling apart shrine. She fixes it up and even makes Oni Lee less of a monster. Danny’s a cape in this one as well. It still only has 54 chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2021.

Finally, I also finished The Road Not Taken and decided to listen to Pokemon: Shadow of Time – Kanto Arc by Ron the True Fan. This is another Pokémon time travel fic, but darker. Cyrus taking control of Palkia and Dialga eventually leads to them destroying the world while Ash is in Alola. Celebi sends Ash back with a copy of his Pokémon’s memories in his head to stop Cyrus from controlling them in the first place. However, the world he wakes up in the start of his journey is very different. Shadow Pokémon roam the land and guns are normal. Watch an angry Ash do what he can to fix things while finding his Pokémon, or they find him. It’s an Ash/multi and has several fics, this is just the first.

Well, time for the quest; first is Gamer of the Sword by fg7dragon. This is a Fate/Stay Night SI with Gamer powers that I first mentioned here. Shirou is taken over by someone who knows the series and is given The Gamer power soon after Kiritsugu dies. He decides to train and make changes to help himself and those he likes. His main partner is Sakura, but he has a harem. It has 15 chapters and is completed with a set up for another fic. Sadly, the author hasn’t posted since 2018, but they are still around because they favorited a fic that was only published in March.

Second is an odd one. It was originally Gate to the elven god, Tanya’s republic but the author completely rewrote in and renamed it to Gate to the Tanyan Republics by ShirouKuroEmiya. It’s a Youjo Senki and Gate: Thus the JDF Fought There crossover where Tanya is a god on the other side of the Gate. After she dies after a long and happy life, but her spirit wanders and ends up on the Gate world. 100 years later, she’s a god. In the original she was the God of the Elves that the team finds (who don’t die) and she doesn’t meet them until they get to the village. The rewrite, she and a team infiltrate the team sent to Japan originally and help them stop the attack. They both only had 3 chapters and the reboot was last updated in 2024. Honestly, this author isn’t my favorite and it’s only on here because I thought the original was an interesting idea.

Third is General Zod by TheBeardedOne. This is a prequel to another of this author’s main fics but this is just in the DC Comics. This tells the story of how Zod’s story goes in this fic, which is a bit different then cannon. I won’t say much more to not spoil it. It’s completed but the characters don’t interact with the main story it’s in until the fic.

Fourth is also odd as the reason it’s here is because I call it German fic, but it’s really Aufstand Gegen Danzou by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Naruto one-shot and it’s translation is Uprising Against Danzou. I put it through a translator to read it, but essentially, Naruto is imprisoned and his friends rise up against Danzou. It’s interesting, but I wish there was an official translation.

Fifth is Ginny Returns by kb0. This is a Harry Potter fic that really like and mentioned first here. The war is over and only Ginny and a disabled Hermione are left. Ginny refuses to leave things as they are and finds a way back in time. Hermione helps her (at the cost of her life) and Ginny goes back to the summer before her first year. She makes many changes and Harry and Sirius are the only ones who finds out she’s from an alternate future. It’s great and has a Harry who doesn’t just accept her because his past self did and works to find out who her really likes. It’s complete and worth the read.

Sixth is Ginny’s Decision by Epeefencer. This is a Harry Potter one-shot where things go differently when Harry goes to break up with Ginny. She doesn’t just accept it and pushes back with her own decision. It really only goes over the start of her influence, and the most important part, but it’s an interesting premise if anyone ever does something like it.

Seventh and the last today is Ginny’s Plan by kb0. This one is similar, but her plan is different. It’s Harry Potter and I’ve mentioned it before here. She convinces him to be smarter about it and that she’ll never take him back if he leaves. Her plan changes things and Dumbles is shattered. It has 13 chapters and it complete.

That’s it for this post. I’ll be travelling next weekend, but I’ll still try and get post out by Sunday. Have a great week and 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!

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!

PoGo Tour Kalos! and Other Info

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sorry For Missing Last Week

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Finished the Alpha Dex!

Hello, readers! I’m back and on time! This week was fine as I went back to work. A position in another department that I’m qualified for has opened up again and I applied again. I also finally got the Spanish workbook from the company that I’ve been trying to get for quite a while, but that’s because there are a lot of Spanish speakers here and it’s a prerequisite for most of the higher level positions.

Moving onto the Pokémon: Legends Z-A, as the title says I finally pretty much finished the Alpha Dex! I have all the new Alphas (including their regional forms and other forms) except for evolving Alpha Feebas and the other three Pumpkaboo sizes. I’m seriously considering getting another copy of the game just to trade, but I’m willing to wait for now as I have the needed unevolved forms. Now I’m getting back to Pokemon: Legends Arceus to get the final Alphas I need from it; ? Unown, Cranidos, Rampados, Shieldon, Bastidon and Oshawott. I’m focusing on ? Unown for now, but I hope to get it soon.

Next is what I’m listening to, I actually finished By The Grace of the Gods Vol 7 before I posted my last post, but as it was on like Tuesday, I decided to leave it for today. So, now I’m listening to In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 5. In it, Touya has to deal with the fact that he’s now the Grand Duke of his own country and get it set up. While that’s happening he gets an envoy from a Theocracy and they seem intent on making him change the religion of his new country to theirs. As Touya has met God, he refuses. How will this turn out!

I also got to the chapters I hadn’t read yet for Harry Potter, Squatter by Enterprise1701-d so I decided to switch to Forging Destiny by White Angel of Auralon. This is a 3rd year Harry Potter AU. Harry finds Sirius after he runs away and is convinced to stay with him. It has some tropes like, having good goblins, manipulative Dumbles, suppressed Harry and multiple lordships. It’s an interesting fic, there’s not really a love interest and best of all, it’s completed! It even has a sequel!

Also finished is Ashs Just Reward by The Warmongers of Simora so I decided to listen to The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. This is because the last fic in the series is coming up on my reading list and I want to finish it before then. My calculations put it potentially in late Feburary or early March, but who knows? Any way, I talked about it recently, so here’s a link to it.

Now, onto the quest; first is Devil Arts Online by Greatazuredragon. This is Sword Art Online and High School DxD crossover. After getting free of the game and freeing Asuna, she’s hurt by Sugou and ends up in a coma. Kirito makes a wish for her to be saved and ends up summoning Rias. Rias is happy to grant his wish (this is set after Asia joins), however when she calculates what the price is, it keeps coming up with him joining her peerage. She does, but soon ends up back at the hospital to grant Asuna a wish, thus completing her peerage. She doesn’t know why they were chosen, but maybe they’ll be a help? Also, who’s this devil asking about them? This is a fun one, with the basic story based off another fic later on my list (a long one-shot). Sadly incomplete with 32 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2018 (though the author posted to another story almost a year ago).

Second is Different Than You Dream by brown phantom. It’s a Ranma ½ Au where Akane dreamed the whole story before it started. She sees how she acted and wants a new start. However, when Ranma shows up, it’s immediately obvious that things are different. Eventual Ranma/Akane/Shampoo/Ukyo. This one is also incomplete with 25 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2016. The author has posted to plenty of other stories, but hasn’t completed this one for some reason.

Third is Direct Thee To Peace by Umei no Mai. This is the sequel of Compass of My Soul. It’s a Naruto Clan Wars AU. Kita (SI) has managed to convince the Uchiha and Senju to work towards a lasting peace between them with both sets of brothers alive. Now all she to is navigate the peace talks and what comes after. The village is set up, but things are different from how we know them. How will this new Konoha survive in the end of the clan wars? It is complete and there are no more sequels.

Fourth is Dirty Little Secret by QueenKalasin. This a Harry Potter 7th book AU. [Content Warning – there are quite a few underage sex scenes. Don’t Like, Don’t Read.] Harry and Ginny decide to fake breaking up at the end of his 6th year to get Voldy off her back. She sneaks over to Privet Drive after the Dursleys take a vacation and leave him alone. They spend a few days alone. Everyone goes back to Hogwarts and Harry and Ginny have a strange back and forth. A fun and overly emotional fic (especially at the end). And it’s finished!

Fifth and last is Discovering the Legend 1-3 by RoseDragonWitch. This is another Harry Potter characters read the books from the early 2010s. I think this one is the author because there’s an ending fic. They reference that they finished book 4, but my copy only goes through most of book 3. Remus visits the castle during the Order of Phoenix and finds the first 4 books in the Room of Requirement. He takes them back to Grimmwald Place and reads them with Sirus and later other order members. It’s interesting, but I wish I had the rest of the story. (I looked it up and I can find more, but it’ll take a little work)

So, that’s it for this week. I hope things go well for you this week and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, readers! Sorry this is so late, I got caught up in other things and kept forgetting to finish the post. Hopefully your new year was better than mine. A close family member accidentally got hurt and I took them to the emergency room. They were able to be back before the turn of the year, but we don’t know how long they’ll have to deal with the effects. However, it’s not as bad as we thought, so that’s good.

Other than that, I’ve finished the DCL Pokédex, but I’m still working on the Alpha dex for both (though I’m only missing Aerodactyl for the main original and trade and evolve the other alpha Pumpkaboo sizes [after I find the largest one]). Some time I’ll talk about what I’m watching for the current season, but I’ll leave that to another time.

The listening changes are – I finished That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol 3 and am now listening to By The Grace of the Gods Vol 7. In it, Ryoma visits the Duke’s house and helps set up for a wedding. He also gets a slave for the first time to help work towards helping rehabilitate criminals.

Also, it turns out last week, I forgot to include that had finished In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 4 as I had gotten to Slime Vol 3 by the end. In this one, Touya goes looking for the second Babylon section. However, the Phrase are still causing problems. Also, he makes a bookshop and ends up helping during a military coup in another country. What will happen next.

Next, I finished Usagi’s Struggles: Revelations From the Future by Serena530 and I decided to listen to In Flight by gabriel blessing. This is an Unlimited Blade Works Shirou (Fate series) and Sekirei crossover. In this one, Shirou is really the main character (Minato) who lost his memories in the fire. He accidentally finds his birth mother while running from the Clocktower and ends up living in Shinto Teito. The Sekirei around are something to be on guard about and use to hide him from the Clocktower. That is until he ends up winging one (or a few) and ends up in another hidden tournament. How will he change things? This is a great completed fic and one of my favorites. I may have to post the silliness the Omakes of this one spawned. There’s even an ‘Emiya Clan’ based on this that crosses over with many stories.

Finally, I reached Vol 11 of The Irregular at Magic High School. This is as far as I wanted to listen to, so the rest will have to wait until I get to it on the list. So I decided to listen to one not from the list, Dahlia in Bloom – Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools by Hisaya Amagishi. It’s an Isekai light novel that follows Dahlia, a magical tool crafter. On the eve of their marriage, her arranged fiancé tells her that he’s found true love and calls off the marriage. This causes her to realize that she’s changed herself to satisfy him and decides to take her life back, by focusing on her work. During a trip, she saves Volf, a noble soldier who had been taken away by a monster. Now their destinies are entwined, the question is – will either ever realize they like each other? It’s a fun and ongoing series and it even has an anime (which isn’t great, but it’s not bad either).

Now, onto the quest, first is Desperately Seeking Ranma by PixelWriter1. This is one that I’ve talked about a few times before, starting here. It’s a Ranma ½ (with slight Sailor Moon crossover at first that becomes more blatant later) AU after the end of the story and things go wrong. Ranma and Kasumi run away, and the Nerima Wrecking Crew is searching for them. This one is written following Nabiki, occasionally others, but mostly her. She manages to find them years later, but many things have changed. It’s very good and long, however the author hasn’t updated it in 9 and ½ years and not posted an update on their profile in almost 4 years. It might be dead, but until I hear it is, I’ll still hold out hope.

Second is the first of the side stories for the above fic, a one-shot It All Started At The Museum. This is the actual first fic in the collection as it is the story of how the OCs (Aiko, Tamiko, Fumiko and Misaki) get their magical girl powers. It’s silly and a bit traumatic for them.

Third is the next story, another one-shot, When Ranma Met Aiko (and Tamiko and Fumiko and Misaki). This one is the story of how (as the title says) Ranma met the OCs before the end of Ranma ½. This one has a very angry Ranma, the magical girls and a demon. Oh, and Ranma dresses-up as a magical girl as well.

Fourth is the two-shot Aftermath. This one actually has the incident where Ranma and Kasumi leave. The first chapter is from Kasumi’s POV and the second one is Ranma’s POV.

Fifth is the final side story, another one-shot The Fugitives. It directly follows the previous one and tells how the two get set up to end up where they are at the beginning of DSR.

Sixth is Destiny is a Hazy Thing by Calanor. This is a massively AU Naruto fic. A fallen fragment of a God ends up in the Naruto world and teams up with the Kyuubi to help heal itself. They decide take a young Naruto in and raise him their way (in a mind-scape). This leads to a different Naruto and a changed landscape as what they did caused massive changes. It’s a great fic with 45 chapters, however it sadly hasn’t been updated since 2014.

The seventh and final is Detective Midoriya by rogueptoridactyl. This is a My Hero Academia AU where Izuku takes All Might’s words to heart and works to become a police officer. Tsukauchi wasn’t expected Izuku to become an officer so quickly, but he’s not going to allow All Might to cause his new colleague to die. It’s an interesting fic, but sadly only has 47 chapters and was last updated in 2021.

That’s it for the week. Oh yeah, I also finished writing the 10th chapter of my fic and just want someone to tell me how it is before I publish it. I plan to publish it by next month sometime, and I’ll post a link to it here when I do. Have a great week and see you next Sunday. As always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

It’s a Travel Weekend

Hello, readers. Sorry this one is late. I’ve been traveling for the weekend and while I’ve had time to write; I wanted to relax for the first time in a while. I did get want I’d been trying to done on Tuesday. I’m now visiting with relatives for a week or so. I’ve also finished the complete storyline of the Pokémon: Legends Z-A DLC. I’m still working on getting all the Pokémon because of rerolling the gates and the special scan. I’ve also started getting the alphas for the DLC.

Onto what I’m listening to, I finished Usagi’s Struggles by Serena530 and decided to continue onto its sequel – Usagi’s Struggles: Revelations From the Future. It’s essentially Sailor Moon R in its continuity. In this one, everyone has their memories but that doesn’t mean there aren’t people with lost memory. The Dark Generals are back but with no memory. Also, because of their stronger connection, the bad guy twins have no way to get in between Usagi and Mamoru. It’s on going with 11 chapters and was recently updated.

I also finished Naruto: Rise of the West by azndrgn. I decided to continue with Ashs Just Reward by The Warmongers of Simora. It’s a Pokemon fic I’ve talked about before here. The Legendaries decide to reward Ash for helping them throughout the years. He’s in Alola and has no idea what is coming for him. Sadly still un-updated since 2017.

The final listening update is replacing Crushing on a Devil by TanJaded with Amor Enim Vult by BleedingBlade. It’s a Youjo Senki fic I’ve talked about before here. It’s a Tanya/Visha fic set after Tanya ends the war. It’s one of my favorite ones, but sadly it hasn’t been updated since 2022. Don’t be surprised if you see it again.

So, the first of the quest is Dauntless Dimensions by Night Raydes. It’s a Harry Potter crossover with multiple stories but the main one it says is Skulduggury Pleasant. Harry and Valkyrie are two paired gods that can travel the multiverse. They’ll eventually meet up. It was originally Burst Reality, but the author tended to rewrite and change their fics. I talked about it here when they were Myrddin le Fay. Ginny was his original other half.

The second is Dawn of Magic by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Yuna of the Dawn crossover I talked about before here. Fem Harry is reborn as Yuna. She escapes by herself and changes things. It has 8 chapters and sadly hasn’t updated since 2019.

The third is Dawn of the Valkyrie by QueenMilaAshdown. It’s a Harry Potter and Avengers crossover. Fem Harry is sent to Loki after he’s taken down in the first Avengers movie by Hela (not MCU one) and after she was put in a bad situation after the war. They fell in love and changed things in the MCU. However, things go wrong and she and Loki use Soul Magic to send her back in time, but she’s not the only one. Watch as they try and fix things. There are also some gay relationships, so don’t like, don’t read. It has 27 chapters and was surprisingly updated after a while early this year.

The fourth is Deadly Curse by seritha. It’s a Harry/Ginny fic set after third year. Harry is bitten by Remus during the time travel part and is now a werewolf. Ginny learns of it and becomes an animagus to help him. It’s complete and an interesting fic.

The fifth and last one is Dear kami, there’s two of them by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Naruto fic that I’ve talked about before here. It’s about Anko’s twin sister Mochi. She kidnaps several characters to help them. It’s unfinished and has 5 chapters, even though it has a semi-sequel.

That’s it for today. Have a Happy Holiday for whatever one you have and as always; May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Lack of Sleep is Not Fun

Hello, readers! Sorry, this is late (I wrote quite a bit on Monday, but even the listen to part was really long), I went to sleep early on Sunday to make sure I got enough for what I needed to do Monday. Or rather, what I thought was Monday, it’s really Tuesday and all the prep I did for it was for naught because I forgot to check the date, so I have to prepare again. It’s fine, I hope I get better sleep (I did a little bit better and managed to make the appointment).

This isn’t even counting that I tried to do this last week and my sleep was so bad I barely made it through the workday (and obviously canceled). However, I finished the main story for the Pokémon Legends Z-A DCL and just have to catch the last legendries and the other Pokémon I don’t have yet. Then I go DCL alpha hunting.

So, what I’m listening to, it’s changed quite a bit, or rather one has. I finished Nozomi of the Sand by sakurademonalchemist. Then I decided to listen to The Quiet Fox by TheBeardedOne. It’s a Naruto fic that’s a little different than others. Other than in-between chapters set in the current time, most of the story is told from one character’s perspective. No character is repeated and this makes it interesting. Naruto saves Hinata from getting kidnapped by making the mob chasing him think the kidnapper is trying to help him. They then end up at the Namikaze estate. It’s an interesting story and even finished!

When that one was finished I started listening to where I’m at currently with Naruto: Rise of the West by azndrgn. It’s a fic based on the Emperor Naruto of the West challenge from a while back. In the challenge – Naruto is kicked out of Konoha after the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. Hinata eventually becomes his Empress, typically leaving with him. They go to West, where they unite it as they are waring. Years later, Konoha is in a bad spot and go to them for help unknowing that Naruto is Emperor. There are also typically many characters from other stories that are part of the West.

In this one, Tsunade is forced to exile him (there are ones where she agrees) and Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Konohamaru and Hanabi follow him. They are almost captured either by Itachi and Kisame or Root agents. They’re saved by Yusuke (from Yu Yu Hakusho) and they follow him to the West (with Itachi and Kisame who voluntarily leave Akatsuki). All the villages are approached many years later to compete in several tournaments in the West. All agree. This fic is completed with 20 chapters.

I also finished In Another World With My Smartphone Vol 3 like, last week, I think? I then listened That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol 2. In it Rimuru meets some new friends and ends up in a battle for the forest. We also get some insight into some characters that will eventually have relevance.

After I finished that one earlier this week, I started listening to By The Grace of the Gods Vol 6. Ryoma participates in an adventurer training camp as a teacher and teaches quite a bit. After that he scares the participants with his battle prowess. Then he manages to save a man who was attacked by bandits, all while getting some new slimes!

As I mentioned I finished Broken Dreams by ThunderReborn last week, I then listened to Breaking the Sky by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Dragon Drive and KHR crossover that I’ve talked about before here. Fem Tsuna gets into Dragon Drive and gets a special box to manifest her dragon Sora into the real world. She shouldn’t have been able to and certain people are trying to find her because of it. It’s only got 11 chapters and is obviously unfinished. After I finished that I started Crushing on a Devil by TanJaded. I mentioned it last week so I won’t go over it again.

Onto the quest, first is Dark Evangel’s Final Task by fg7dragon. This is a Negima! Magister Negi Magi and Harry Potter crossover. Evangeline A.K. McDowell tries to finally kill herself hundreds of years after the end of the Negima! manga. She finds that she can’t and meets Death, who gives her a task to do and then he will make sure she dies. What is that task, but live in and help shape Harry and make sure he destroys one of the Deathly Hallows so they aren’t united. She can’t actually contact him before he’s fourteen, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t doing things. It’s a fun little fic, but it’s sadly incomplete with 9 (actual) chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2012.

Second is Dark Knights by TheBeardedOne. This is a DC Comics story where Clark is found by the Waynes and is raised as Bruce’s brother. When Bruce becomes Batman, Clark becomes Nightwing. It’s got 13 chapters and is finished. It even has a sequel that intersects with another of the author’s fics that is later on the list.

Third is Dark Phoenix of Konoha by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Naruto fic I’ve talked about before here. I’ve even mentioned listening to it recently. It’s a Naruto trains in secret and is more badass than normal. Sadly incomplete.

Fourth is Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo by AkumaKami64. It’s a Star Wars story, that I apparently only mentioned when I got updates and didn’t talk about the story. So Vader is sent back in time while chasing the Millennium Falcon in Episode 5. He finds himself back on Naboo during the invasion in Episode 1. He determines he’ll change things to go his way. However, he’s not the only one who’s in the past. It’s finished and has a sequel that is currently updating.

The fifth and final is Daughter of Flame by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist crossover I’ve talked about before here. In it Fem Harry is actually Roy’s daughter and goes through the Gate to meet him after her fourth year. There she travels with Ed and Al to eventually meet her dad. It’s got 14 chapters and is obviously unfinished with no updates since 2015.

Well, this took a while. Hopefully things are going well with y’all with the Holidays coming up. I’m planning on making sure I relax and maybe reach my quest goal by the end of the year (in case you forgot it’s reaching the Th stories in my side stories). I might be able to finish my final main S story, but who knows. It really depends on how much I read between now and then. I only have 5ish cycles before I reach a Th story, but I have over 10 to finish the S one. Anyway, as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Links Can Make You Late (Reprise)

Hello once again, readers. Sorry this is so late. As the title says, once again I didn’t pay attention to the links for the quest and had to take time to do them. I could have done this yesterday, but I really wanted to finish a physical book I was reading, Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. I got it for Christmas last year and I hadn’t gotten around to it because I was focusing on the quest. However, I completed the side S stories early last week and wanted to spend time finishing a few other stories including this one. It was fun and I’ll read the rest at some point. I’ll talk about it next week because I have a bit to say this time.

I am pleased to announce that I have finished Digimon: Time Stranger! I got all the Digimon I could get before finishing, then completed the game and got the last 5 I needed (all Aegiomon digivolutions). I could do new game + or finish all the achievements (I only have 5 left), but those matter little to me so, maybe, if I get bored.

Onto my week, it was a bit stressful because of the rain and learning that the company didn’t get the leaks fixed from the last time. The clean-up wasn’t as bad as last time and nothing was irrevocably damaged. We had to do some set-up because of the rain that did happen this weekend. I get to see how that worked tomorrow. Fun, right?

I also learned that a slightly higher paying job I’ve tried to get in the company before is most likely opening up. A higher-level position was vacated and someone in the position I’ve mentioned is most likely to get it. I can hope I’ll get it, but past experience hasn’t made me that enthusiastic that I will.

Anyway, to what I’m listening to, the first change is that I finished By the Grace of the Gods Vol 5 and started In Another World With My Smartphone Vol 3. Toya once again manages to stumble on conflict, but this time in Eashen, this world’s equivalent of ancient Japan. Turns out there’s someone using the dead to attack. Will Toya and his girls be able to save the day? And what’s happening in the ruins they originally went to find? Finally, will he finally learn that the girls like him?! All that and more!

I also finished Ginny Returns by kb0 and am listening to Harry Potter, Squatter by Enterprise1701-d. It’s a Harry Potter and Percy Jackson crossover. In it, Harry is taken to New York by the Dursley’s on a business trip and they abandon him. He’s lucky enough to find the Empire State building and end up on Olympus. He squats in a semi-abandoned temple and Hestia finds him. She looks after him and becomes a mother to him. However, some aren’t happy he’s there. I won’t reveal who his Godly parent is, but I did give a small hint. It’s interesting and has 82 chapters. It’s even still updating!

Deku? I think he’s some pro… by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown) was finished as well and I started The Echo Ranger by Xavon Wrentaile. It’s a My Hero Academia and Power Ranger crossover. Izuku ends up in an antique shop running from his bullies. There he finds an odd three-headed coin that turns into a morphing watch. Tommy Oliver shows up in his dreams and reveals that after the Earth was cut off from the morphing grid and Quirks started to show up, the rangers worked to create the Echo Ranger. They used the still mostly intact power coins of Tommy to give it three modes based on his Green, White and Black powers. Watch as Izuku becomes a Power Ranger in a world of quirks. And will he be the only one? Read and find out! It has 29 chapters and is still ongoing!

 So, onto the quest! The first one is Compass of Thy Soul by Umei no Mai. It’s a Naruto fic that I’ve mentioned before here. A person from our world ends up reincarnated into the Naruto world, but instead of the main Naruto storyline; they’re born into the Uchiha in the time of Madara. Kita doesn’t remember much at a young age, but tries to help out. This leads to her being engaged to Madara! Watch as Kita changes things for the better, but maybe not the way canon went.
