Happy Late Halloween

It’s been another week, friends. Happy late Halloween and sorry this is late. For me it was a mix of slow and fast, but there weren’t any big issues. I managed to (barely) finish my goal for my quest this month, which was to finish one of the longest S fanfics I had that has over 200 chapters. This was a little harder as I wanted to do it within the current rules of the quest.

For a bit of explanation, at first, I was going in alphabetical order. However, then I split up the ones I wanted to read from the ones to listen to. That continued for a bit before I realized there were ones that would take a while to get through and even I can get tired of a story. At some point around Books from the Future (I think), I decided to I needed to change between stories to keep myself interested. So, if there were many fics that had the same story (like Harry Potter) as a main component in it, I would put a story that didn’t have that one in it in-between. Then, I changed that to 15 or 30 chapters depending on how long they were. Eventually after a few small changes, I decided on what I’m using now, which is 400 pages of the current main story (based on length or number of stories) and then 400 of the next non-main story fic. I call the 800 total pages, one cycle.

So, I’m sure many of you are asking, but Matt, how to you know how many pages a Fanfic is? That’s easy, friends. It’s what I have fichub for! I have a large database of fanfic’s that I’ve downloaded for my reading pleasure. I also have the 2015 fanfic archive zip you can find if you look for it, but that thing’s huge and I only mess with it when I’m looking for a specific fic. For the last 5ish cycles I’ve been stuck between the 200ish chap fic that had been my main story and the next main one (that’s a Chinese webnovel that has over 3,000 shortish chapters). My goal for the November is to reach the T’s in the non-main stories. December is to read to the Th’s. Next year is to finally finish this quest (which even I’m not sure will happen because some of the ones left are really long). As for what I’ll do after that, I’m still thinking on it.

So, the first change in my listening is that I finished By the Grace of the Gods Vol 3 and started In Another World With My Smartphone Vol 2. In this one Touya spends time with the girls in his party and ends up traveling to the beastman kingdom. Who will he meet and what adventures will he and his party have? Read to find out! This is a trope-y story, but fun none-the-less.

The only other change I had was that I reached the point where I had read to in A Young Reaper’s Afterlife by L4 of the West and decided to change stories. I decided on The Irregular in Magic High School by Tsutomu Satō. This is because it’s on the list and I wanted to get what I had already read out of the way before I get to it so there’s less to read when I get there.

So, this web novel, turned light novel and anime is about Tatsuya Shiba and his sister Miyuki. This is set in future where magic has been proven to be real and now can be manipulated by technology. The siblings get the coveted First Magic High School, but are separated into different groups based on their test scores. Miyuki gets the highest overall school and is an Honor Student, while Tatsuya has high classroom scores, but low magic scores and is an Irregular Student.

Miyuki is unhappy with this as she knows he’s a great magician, but the tests don’t account for his strengths. Tatsuya is ambivalent to it, but has to deal with the harassment of the honor students. However, both hold secrets that will shake up not only the school, but the world. Fair warning to those who read this, the siblings are closer than siblings normally are and Miyuki has a habit of leaning her thoughts about him to the sexual (but nothing actually happens so far as I’ve read). This is explained later, but I’m not going to spoil an important plot point. If this isn’t something you can deal with, don’t read. Moving on, the anime is fine visually, but there are issues in explaining things (especially about magic), so if you don’t read the novel or manga you might be confused on some things.

Moving on to the quest, first is Changing the Future 1-3 by an unknown author (as in I don’t know currently). This is another one of the reading Harry Potter fanfics that was deleted a while back for actually having the book’s text in them. This one has Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys reading the books at some point before the books start. Remus joins them for the third book, but that one only goes through the chapter, The Knight Bus. It was fine, but I don’t think you’ll really be able to find it.

Second is Chaos Hunter by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Slayers and Supernatural crossover that I’ve talked about here. In it, Lina Inverse is sent to the Supernatural universe and falls in love with Sam while they’re at college. This won’t change anything, will it? It’s fun, but sadly only has 11 chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2015.

Third is a bit farther in the series that started with An Unexpected Christmas Miracle by goodtobealunatic, a Doctor Who AU that I mentioned here. The second fic in the series is Weathering the Storm. This is a Season 3 rewrite where Rose managed to stay with the Doctor. They’re together, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be rough patches. Especially when someone keeps taking the new companion on new adventures.

Third is Of Cruises and Christmas a Time Crash and Voyage of the Doctor rewrite. After leaving Martha behind after dealing with the Master, Rose and the The Doctor have to deal with their own scars from the Year That Never Was. On their way out, they manage to meet a previous Doctor and end up on The Titanic. No, not the Earth one, but a spaceship touring Earth. I mean, just because it has the same name, doesn’t mean that things will turn out the same way, right?

Chasing the Starlight is the actual next one and is the fourth fic in the series and the last of the main stories. It’s a Season 4 rewrite, but as we know with Rose. How will things change with her around? And what’s this, Torchwood even shows up as well!

Fourth is Cheat Code: Support Strategist by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown). This is a My Hero Academia fic where, Izuku doesn’t get One-For-All. Instead, he decides to become a support student at UA. While preparing for it, he meets Mei and they help each other out. However, after he gets in, he intervenes in the USJ incident and takes the name Cheat Code. Now the villains are after him, what will he do? Also, think you know the UA spy, well think again! This is a great completed fic and part of set of fics were Izuku does different things after being told off by All Might under the series, For Want of a Nail.

The final fic for today is Ranma Saotome, Chi Master by SeerKing. This one is here, because I have the fic under Chi Master on my list and I’ve talked about it before here. It’s a Ranma AU where he’s trained by someone else for a year before going to the cursed springs. This changes his attitude and makes it easier for him to get along with Tendos. There are other changes, but you should read to find out. It’s only 24 chapters, but sadly hasn’t been updated since 2018.

Other than the last Mabel Quest I’m working on is the battle 1,000 trainers, that’s it for the week. I hope you have a great week and I’ll see you later this week. May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

Glad It’s the End of Week

So, here we are again. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s time for Matt talk about how great of week I’ve had, NOT. Work was fine on Monday. But on Tuesday, after a delivery I wouldn’t usually do, I got back to the office around mid-day and things started to go downhill, physically. I left work early and was out of commission the rest of that day and Wednesday. Thursday, things were starting to get better, but because I still hadn’t slept that well, I didn’t go back to work until today (Friday).

Well, Matt, was that the last of the problems this week? Nope, I keep my work phone with me at home, even though I don’t need to. One of things I do with it is keep track of emails in case I need to know something. So, Wednesday, I finally saw that the previously mentioned person who got the job over me had officially left the position. I was happy and thought that maybe once I was better that I would be approached to see if I still wanted the position. That was dashed on Thursday as one of the emails that day was someone getting that position.

I wasn’t happy about that as no-one has even reached out and said, hey sorry, you weren’t even second choice even though we know you can do the work. I honestly think someone is intentionally keeping me in my position. Or maybe that they only want women in that position as all three have been, but I’d rather not think like that. It’s not like I didn’t do their work most of the previous week and that the coming month is the most strenuous for that position and the two above it, absolutely the worst time to be teaching someone the position. They don’t even start for another 2 and half weeks.

I don’t even know if this person leaves and they offer me the position as third choice, if I’ll even take the position because it just seems rude to me. I even know my supervisor is going to be off for two months coming up. If I didn’t know better, I would say he’s planning on retiring and wants to use some of the time he can’t get paid for before he leaves. Of course, if something like that was happening, you would think that someone would tell the de-facto second in command (not that he would ever call me that) so that they could learn to do some of his duties, even if it was to teach their replacement. But there’s been nothing.

If so, the secrecy of the whole organization is to blame (well in the case of my supervisor, he just doesn’t like to tell us things if he can help it). Like the fact that a position can’t be officially put up for application until it’s been officially announced that the person is leaving. And if that means that the person is a higher-level position and they’re leaving in a month, if you don’t have someone in position within that time, those below and above them have to do their work. If it’s a completely new person, then those around have to teach them rather than the previous person teaching the new person, even when someone is just retiring. Sometimes, they come back part-time to help teach, but it doesn’t seem reasonable.

Moving on from this page long rant on my week and work, here’s the changes in what I’m listening to. I just finished My Hero School Adventure is All Wrong, As Expected on my way home from work and I’m going to start on My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist. If you know of this author’s other drabble fics, then you’ll know it’s a bunch of stories with only a chapter or two that the author wrote with crossovers (or not) with one story in common, which is in case, My Hero Academia. I haven’t listened in a while so next time I’ll talk about which other stories they crossover with and if any really stick out.

Otherwise, I’ve moved onto volume 11 of Reincarnated as a Sword on Audible. Fran goes back to her country to meet up with a friend, but things don’t just work out for her and Teacher, do they? They find themselves in a conspiracy and save the city and find their friend. I’m still on seventeen of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody. The events are still generally the same, but they’ve still changed the bad guys slightly so the MC can interact with them early but not figure out that they’re the bad guy.

The quest is next, first is, An Angel and a Trickster by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Supernatural crossover with a fem. Harry and Loki. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s only 11 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2014.

Second is, An Impossible Task by ashthephoenix. It’s a My Hero Academia fic. In it, at the beginning of the year, UA gives a ‘Hell Test’ that is next to impossible to get much of score on, let alone pass. Izuku, who has been fudging his tests to not get in trouble, makes a mistake in even barely passing the test and catches Nezu’s attention. What secrets will be found? Not many, because it only has 7 chapters and hasn’t updated in three years. Still an interesting premise.

Third is, An Unexpected Christmas Miracle by goodtobealunatic. This is a Doctor Who fic where the 10th Doctor takes Rose Tyler to Noel, a planet where they celebrate Christmas every day. They have all sorts of couple-y fun. It’s the first of the Stars Aligned Series, where Rose doesn’t get forced into another reality. I’ve talked about it before, here. The author changed their name from batistangel15.

After that is, Anakin’s Puzzle by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Star Wars short story were Anakin uses his head. He sees a lot of inconsistencies and decides to take some time to figure it out. He does and this is how he deals with the issue. An amusing slight fix it fic.

Following that is, Analytics by Jurodan. It’s a MHA fic where Izuku uses his analytical abilities to help his classmates with their quirks. First is Sato where they test which sugars work best for what things. Things go on in that vein. Sadly, only has 7 chapters and is incomplete.

There are two follow on stories, first is Analytics Sidestories by Jurodan. It’s just the continuation of two chapters with things that weren’t important to the main story, but the author wanted to write. Second is Analytics: White Papers by Jurodan. It’s Valentines and all the guys get white papers with ideas to help them with the girls they’re interested in. Complete as it’s only meant to be a single chapter.

Then is And Why the Hell Not by ack1308. It’s an amusing Worm one-shot. Basically, what would happen if the Undersiders used their powers legally. That’s it.

The next fic is a sequel, so the first fic is, Jade Angel by sakurademonalchemist. It’s another fem Harry Potter (Jade) and Supernatural crossover. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s sequel, Angel Avengers by sakurademonalchemist, follows Jade and her family to MCU to fix things. I’ve talked about it before here. The second one is sadly incomplete and hasn’t been updated since 2015.

After that’s Angel’s Horn by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Magical Nanoha and Supernatural crossover. I’ve talked about it here. It also hasn’t been updated since 2014. Then is Angels Among Us by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Supernatural and Ghost Rider crossover. I’ve talked about it before here. Another 2014.

Another sakurademonalchemist story is next – Angels and Demons. It’s a FF7 and HP crossover where fem. Harry was summoned from FF7. I’ve talked about it before here. It has 13 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2019.

Next to last we’re away from that author for a second – Angry Harry and the Seven by Sinyk. I only recently re-mentioned this one as I’m almost finished relistening to it, but here is the link to me originally talking about it. Finally, back to sakurademonalchemist is Angry, Angry Wizards. It’s a HP and Sekirei crossover. I’ve talked about it before here. Still 5 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2016.

That’s it, because I haven’t had much time to read, since I’ve been sick and not really wanting to do anything. I hope you’ve had a better week than me and as always. May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

I’m back… Again

Well, after around 2 and half years, I’m back … again. I really have no excuse, I just never thought about it a lot and kept busy. I was officially hired in the job I mentioned in my last post Aug of 2021. I’ve been in and out of a higher temp position helping the higher-ups in my department when I wasn’t needed in my official position because we’ve been having trouble keeping temps. I’ve also been taking music lessons and have had two student performances with that organization. I’m still playing PoGo and sometimes go to in person events when I can make them. I did do the community day on Saturday and got all three shinnies I wanted. Wizard’s Unite shut down and I’ve not started any other Niantic mobile games so far.

I’ve been playing Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It’s fun and I’ve got all the current Pokémon and their various forms. I can’t remember if I mentioned it, but I’m all so working on my living dex to level 100. Most are at least level 35, except some that can’t be accessed in any of the Switch games. (I’m in the middle of The Indigo Disk epilogue now)

I joined an anime/manga group in the area and the manga part of the group is reading several series by volume. Of the ones we started with we’re now on volume five of both Black Lagoon and Toilet Bound Hanako-kun. I’ve previously read Black Lagoon, but didn’t mind rereading it. Black Lagoon is about a Japanese businessman who is sent to deliver a floppy drive (yeah, shows you the time it started, lol) with info on his company’s illegal dealings (that he didn’t know about before then), but is captured and ransomed to his company. They instead try to kill him and his captors on their torpedo boat. He renames himself ‘Rock’ and joins them in their ‘transport’ business. It’s not complete, but is no longer on hiatus, I think…

Toilet Bound Hanako-kun is about a high school girl named Neenee who tries to have a wish fulfilled by one of the 7 school legends, Hanako of the Toilet. Instead of a girl, a boy ghost calling himself Hanako comes. He doesn’t fulfill her wish, but she ends up connected to him. It’s about their adventures and finding out his history. 19 volumes have been released in the U.S. and it’s still releasing in Japan.

The other two we started out with were, Daemons of the Shadow Realm and Reincarnated as a Vending Machine. They were not continued as only one volume had been released for each at the time. Daemons of the Shadow Realm is the newest work by Hiromu Arakawa, who wrote Fullmetal Alchemist. It’s about a boy named Yuru who lives in a village and protects his sister. However, people come and attack the village and he learns that things aren’t as they seem and his sister and parents have been gone for a long time. Then he learns of Deamons and the prophecy about him and his sister. It’s about him trying to find them and what happened while people are after him. It’s still updating.

Reincarnated as a Vending Machine is as it says in the title, a man dies trying to save a vending machine and is reincarnated as one. He is in a dungeon and cannot say more than a few stock phrases. He meets a girl and manages to communicate that he is sentient. She’s strong enough to carry him around and takes him with her around the dungeons while changing to different types of vending machines as needed. It’s also still updating. I’ll talk more about what series we’re reading next time.

If any of you have read my previous posts, you’ll know I have ‘quests’ I like to do. This has continued even without me letting you know. I don’t remember if I mentioned this one before, but I was working on the chronological new Doctor Who series, including side series. I got through Season 5 Episode 2. I’ll pick this back up at some point.

Another one on hold is the Marvel extended cinematic universe in chronological order. I started with Captain America and am now on Season 3 Episode 3 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I’ll go more into this later, but this includes the Defenders series and their character’s ones.

The main quest I’m working on now is this, I have a text-to-speech app called Voice Dream on my phone. I copy chapters of fanfictions I like on it to listen to it so I can play them when driving or doing something else. Last year at some point I was bored and organized it into folders and put them in A-Z order. I decided to listen to them from the beginning and work on down. It hasn’t completely gone to plan as there are some I haven’t listened to in a long time and wanted to read instead, but I’m still plugging along. I also decided to split up my one-shots/fully completed fics (on one file) into alphabetical folders more then halfway through and made things harder on myself. On my listen list, I’m actually on the Ts, but the read list is in the Ds (though just one left) and there are a lot and some of them are long. There’s a C left in the oneshot read list, but it’s a sequel so I want to read the first one first, lol.

I’m reading several at once because I found somewhat early on that it was difficult to focus on one, especially long ones, continually. I started switching between several to make sure I wasn’t bored and made it kind of convoluted, but that’s the way I like it I guess. The last D to read is Dumbledore’s Army by Bobmin356. It’s a sixth year Harry Potter fic where Harry gets a letter from his parents in heaven (spelled by Lily before she died, somehow) and with the help of an ex-military American squib, gets himself and his friends ready for a war. It is a completed fic with a sequel. (I finished this later before I posted this)

One of the ones I’m listening to is Total Command by Epsilon110. It’s an AU version of My Hero Academia where only women got quirks and Izuku is one of the only characters not gender-bent. He still impresses Lady All Might and gets her quirk, but did he really not already have one? It’s an incomplete fic that hasn’t been updated since March 2021, though they’ve posted other stories since then.

Another I’m listening to is, Yet Again with a Little Extra Help by Third Fang. It’s a Naruto fic where things went weird before the Fourth Shinobi War and Naruto gets caught and the Kyuubi is being ripped out of him. One of the author’s OCs ends up in his mindscape and end up resetting the Narutoverse back to his academy days. It’s very weird and random. The OC, Ghost is just one of an immortal family who are insane. It’s finished and has a sequel that is still updating. (I also recently finished this one and am on its sequel).

While I’ll talk about the ones I’m working on, I’ll also be going down the list of ones I’ve already completed as well. To start off with is a one-shot called 1A is the Source of Kendo’s Headaches by multiple authors(?) but the one I found it through is Clouds (myheadinthecloudsnotcomingdown). It’s a weird one where Izuku potentially has plans to take over the world that Kendo finds out about (and Nedzu is helping, of course) and he’s being chased by 1A.

Next is 88 Miles Per Hour by Perfect Lionheart. It’s a Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover mainly with Back to the Future, but several other ones eventually. Xander puts on a Doctor Brown costume during the Halloween episode they’re turned into their costumes. That one does some time traveling and goes back to his past self and they go on an adventure. It’s currently 10 chapters and is not finished or updated (Like a lot of his fics) since 2012.

The last one I’ll mention is A Body Roll or Two by TheAmazingWadey. It’s a Miraculous Ladybug fic where Adrian left during High School, but is back for college. The attacks stopped, but now that he’s back will they start again? Also, Marinette has picked up Bachata dancing and joins a professional group, guess who her partner will be? And a certain Chat has taken to talking to her as well. What is going to happen? It’s a fun 54 chapters, but unfortunately is also incomplete (but just by a chapter or two) and not updated since 2017.

I’ll talk about some of the anime I’m watching next time. Finally, I’m still waiting for news on the newest Kingdom Hearts mobile app Missing Link or KH IV. Hopefully they’ll give us more information soon. As always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Lot of Updated Chapters Week (along with some Shield Hero and the Quest)

Hello my readers!  It’s been a normal week for me, but that’s not what you want to hear.  I’ve spent some time reading through The Rising of a Shield Hero web novel, but I haven’t finished it yet.  I watched the newest episode of the anime and it’s very different, I mean the spear hero honestly seemed to believe the shield hero was framed.  That doesn’t happen until much later in the web novel at least (no idea about the light novel).  Anyway, listened to more Death March and evolved some new Pokémon on PoGo (still have a few to evolve, but that will take more time catching (if I can find them), walking or rare candies.

Anyway, the new chapters this week are: Relic of the Future, An Essence of Silver and Steel (one chapter and an info chap), How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave My My Quirk, History Strongest Disciple Again?, Jaune Ryu-Long, The Dragon Contractor, Mending the Knots, The Unseen Hunt, Stories of Fate, Demon Skylark (Sun, Mon & Tues), Famgilia Drabbles, Under the Sea, Black Sky (Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri), Spirit Fire, Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Service with a Smile, Devil Ninja, Ginny’s Plan, Son of Holmes, Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo, Swordsaint, Heroes Assemble!, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, The Goblet of Fire’s Trap, Go Away I’m Watching Porn, Seerking’s Asylum, Titanfall, Ranma: Happenstance Gone Right, Marvel’s Maelstrom & Taylor Varga. (A lot this week, right?)

I started reading megamatt09’s crack fic (meaning crazy/making fun of things fanfiction) Deadpool’s New Job.  It’s a silly fic set in the Harry Potter universe where Deadpool ends up as Filch’s assistant before Harry’s first year.  Things go very differently … I’ve only convinced myself to read a few chapters, but it’s mostly nonsense.

I also started reading a fic I refound called RWBY: Destiny of Remnant by UGX7.  It’s an RWBY fic in reaction to the end of Vol. 3 so there’s not much elements of the volumes past it in it (at least yet).  Jaune, Nora, Ren and Ruby are going after Cinder in Mistral, but they meet a mysterious man a little before they get there looking for his sister.  With his help they find her, but is there more to him than what there seems (yes).  Also, what really happened to a certain character?

I read (what’s out) of Playing our Roles by The Grim Blade.  It’s an RWBY and The Gamer crossover where someone from our world ends up in the body of (younger) Roman Torchwick.  He decides to follow the path to become a great thief, but he has to prove himself and find his future partner.  With his Gamer abilities, will he be able to do it?

Moving on the Myrddin de Celestis quest, Chapter 31 is Avoiding Fate.  It was a two-chapter Naruto fic.  In it, Naruto wakes up in the past after his fight with Sasuke in the Valley of the End and discovered he dreamed it all.  However, his dream is proven right when he’s able to escape from an attack based on its knowledge.  He escapes and is adopted by Tenten’s dad.  Not much here, but it’s not bad.

Chapter 32 is Bridge to the EvoNet.  It’s a Harry Potter and Stargate crossover.  It was another two-chapter fic.  The first is a long-winded connection between the Stargate past and Harry Potter past.  The second is about an ignored Harry (what else?) about to start his schooling.  Could be okay, but not enough here to say.

Chapter 33 is Fallen Heaven.  It was a one-chapter Twilight fic.  Bella is bitten by James, but becomes a Vampire Creator (yeah, cliché much).  She gets together with Alice … that is all.

Chapter 34 is Carbon Blades.  It was a four-chapter Harry Potter, Avengers and MCU crossover.  Fem-Harry ends up married to X23 (Wolverne’s ‘daughter’) in Vegas.  They spend way too much time recapping their lives and are then drafted into the Avenger (pre-Avengers).  The last chapter is leading up to the first Avengers movie.

Chapter 35 is Collision Course.  It was a three-chapter Harry Potter and Twilight crossover.  It has Fem-Harry learning that Bella and her mom are cousins and going to live with them after fifth year.  When Bella’s mom dies, they go to Forks and clash with the Cullens.  Looks like the cannon pairing of Bella/Edward is there, but Fem-Harry is set up with Alice (though Ginny is also her girlfriend, but not really in the story, yet).

Chapter 36 is Deal to be Reaping.  It was a single-chapter Harry Potter fic.  In it, Fem-Harry dies to protect like in book 7 but learns it’s her seventh death.  He says he’ll send her back with her memories and that she has soul-mates, all female.  It’s okay, but only one chapter.

Chapter 37 is Distorted Time.  It was a single-chapter Harry Potter and Doctor Who crossover.  Harry is The Doctor’s son and Jenny (from The Doctor’s Daughter) and Susan (from the original seasons) come to him to have him fix the TARDIS they have.  Could be good, but like I said, its only one chapter.

Chapter 38 is Flip.  It was a two-chapter Harry Potter fic.  In it Harry finds a weird coin and decides to make all of his choices based on the flip of the coin.  It’s not bad, just, like I’ve said, not long enough to really see how it would go.

Chapter 39 is Lunar Eclipse.  It was a two-chapter Twilight fic.  Bella is ill around the ‘were’-wolves and when Jacob attacks her, is transformed into a Siren.  She eats girl flesh, in both ways, and yeah, not a really big fan of this one.

Chapter 40 is Seven Dark Emperors.  It was a nine-chapter Harry Potter fic.  Voldemort goes to awaken the Seven Dark Emperors in the hopes they’ll help him take over the world.  However, the first one rejects him and goes to train Harry.  It’s interesting and a Harry/Ginny Fic.  Even Luna gets someone (the emperor).

Chapter 41 is 7 Dark Emperors.  It’s a carbon copy of the first but is a crossover with Skulduggery Pleasant Series.  It’s only three chapters, but the emperor plans to set Harry up with Valkyrie (along with Ginny, later).

That’s it for this week, hope everyone has a great coming week.  Don’t forget next Saturday is the Slakoth PoGo community day!  As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

There’s more sakurademonalchemist this weekend (and some movies)

Friday

Today I started rereading the Pick Up the Piece series and got part way through the second one Move On. There were new chapters for – Tsunami, Viridescent, A Smile on Your Face and a Song in Your Heart, Mauling Snarks, Taylor Varga and Stand Together and Smile. I read more new sakurademonalchemist stories also.

The first one is called ‘Moon Sword’ and it is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Fate/Stay Night. It has Usagi and Shirou switching places in the fire (meaning Usagi was there for the fire and had her memories wiped, then Usagi ended up with Kiritsugu and Shirou was adopted into Usagi’s family, who thought she was dead). It also had the Moon and ‘Atlantis’ (where Endymion lived) around the time of Babylon, where Gilgamesh was also interested in Serenity (who only went after Endymion because her mother kept pushing her at him).   When she summons him away from the church, he recognizes her and decides to help her and stay around. Things change drastically. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11608405/1/Moon-Sword.

The second one was ‘Angel Fire’, which is a crossover between the Guild Hunter series and Harry Potter. The Guild Hunter series’ first book is “Angel’s Blood” and it was the other thing I read today. Angel’s Blood is about Elena Deveraux, who is a vampire hunter. It’s not like normal though, vampires are Made (yes, it’s also captiallized in the book) by Angels from people who want to live longer (most of the time). They have to serve the Angel who turns them for a long time before they’re free. When a vampire runs away from that service or starts hunting humans, people like Elena are sent to capture or kill them. Elena is one of the best, that’s why the local Archangel, Raphael, chooses her for a very special assignment, hunting down another Archangel who’s turning to bloodlust. She has to do this, while fighting off her attraction to Raphael.

It’s an interesting series and I only found it because I wanted to read Angel Fire. There’s romance, but no sex scenes. I would recommend it.

Angel Fire is about a female Harry who discovers she’s Angel born when Umbridge pushes her off a tower and her wings reveal themselves. She runs away and ends up in Raphael’s territory. Things happen from there (this happens a bit before the series starts. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11635487/1/Angel-Fire.

Nothing more today, see you tomorrow!

Saturday

Today I read more Pick Up the Piece series and got part way thought the third and last, Rebuild. The new chapters for today were Relic of the Future and Heroes Assemble! I once again read some new sakurademonalchemist stories.

The first was ‘Daughter of Flame’ and it is a Fullmetal Alchemist and Harry Potter crossover. It has female Harry being the daughter of Roy Mustang instead and her going through the Gate to meet him after her fourth year. There she eventually meets the Elric brothers and journeys with them. They follow her to Hogwarts to learn about magic. Oh, did I mention that the Wizarding World thinks she’s a boy? Find out here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11569177/1/Daughter-of-Flame.

The second one was ‘Summoner’s Sword’ and it is a Fate/Stay Night and Chrono Crusade crossover. Chrono Crusade (which I haven’t read in a long time) is about Rosette Christopher and her soul-bound demon Chrono, who are members of the Order of Magdalene. They hunt other demons across America while searching for Rosette’s brother, who was taken by another demon. It’s an interesting story and the anime and manga have different endings (I don’t know which one is better because I don’t think I’ve watched the anime).

Summoner’s Sword’s only real crossover with Chrono Crusade is that Shirou is from the Harvenheit clan (Satella Harvenheit is a jewel summoner in Chrono Crusade). His abilities as a Harvenheit can only be revived when Shirou is hypnotized and his other personality changes. Säbel is this other personality’s name. Shirou can still use his normal abilities as himself, but he can now change personalities to change his abilities. This changes many things and Säbel makes things better. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11567979/1/Summoner-s-Sword.

Finally, there was ‘Identity Crisis,’ a crossover between Doctor Who and Harry Potter. It has the Metacrisis Doctor (the one from the end of season 4 of the reboot, the duplicate of The Doctor who’s part human), being left by Rose because he isn’t The Doctor. He then finds a way to a parallel universe and uses a ritual to reincarnate himself so he can find a way to activate his Time Lord abilities. He ends up as Harry Potter. Harry decides to go to a Muggleborn created school and nothing is the same. Find out what happens, here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11204327/1/Identity-Crisis.

I also watched the new Robin Hood movie today. It was okay. I’m not really recommending it, but it’s not a horrible movie. They tried to humanize the Sheriff, but it kinda fell flat because he’s working for the people that abused him. I would have liked to maybe have them try to semi-save him (meaning he acted for the good guys in the end). I also felt that one character’s plot twist was a bit too much. I mean there’s spite and then there’s WTF. All in all, probably better off as a one-time Red Box rental.

That closes up today, tomorrow’s only a line away!

Sunday

I finished up the Pick Up the Pieces rereading and I finally made those lists I was talking about so I don’t reintroduce a fanfiction, story, show or movie! The new chapters were from – The Unseen Hunt and Tsunami. There are more new sakurademonalchemist (now SDA to not have to type that name every time) stories as well (I’m working through them backwards).

The first one is ‘Adamantium’ and it is an X-Men and Harry Potter crossover. It has Magneto waking up on the train to Hogwarts as an eleven year old with no idea how he got there. He befriends Harry and eventually finds some more ‘reincarnated’ mutants. It’s interesting, but once again, not finished. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11449634/1/Adamantium.

The next one is called, ‘Befriending Sword.’ It’s a Lyrical Nanoha and Fate/Stay Night crossover where Yunno meets Shirou instead and makes him a magical boy. Nanoha comes in later, but it’s only five chapters and we don’t know much because of that. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11409255/1/Befriending-Sword.

The last of SDA’s stories today is ‘Queens of Cosplay.’ It’s a crossover between Lyrical Nanoha and Sekirei that has Uzume’s ‘Destined One’ being Hayate. She ‘wings’ her a while before the Book of Darkness is activated. The corruption of the Book is found by accident and removed. Find out what happens in these four chapters, here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11409142/1/Queens-of-Cosplay.

There was also a weekend long Community Day this weekend (ending early tomorrow morning) that had all the old shinies more available on PoGo. I got a shiny Chikorita, Squirtle, Beldum and 2 Charmanders.  I also went to a Christmas chorus event!

That’s it for today, see everyone when I post tomorrow!

Monday

Today I read a few more chapters of Ashes of the Past. The new chapters for today are Mauling Snarks, The Gamer (webcomic) and Headstart. There are no new stories from SDA today, yay! I also activated another Meltan box.

I reread ‘Campione of the Holy Grail’ by fg7dragon. It’s a crossover between Heaven’s Feel (Type Moon Universe, same time frame but different route from Fate/Stay Night) and Campione! Illya ends up the last one alive to face Angra Mayu and ends up becoming a Campione for killing him. She becomes the 7th Campione and does what she wants (basically explore the world). There are only six chapters, but it’s pretty good! The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12288122/1/Campione-of-the-Holy-Grail.

I read a new story called ‘Reality Bites Worm’ by Selector. It’s a pure Worm fic that has Taylor triggering at a different time. She gathers an all female team together and with some help becomes a force for good. I find it interesting and it has 27 chapters, with more to come as it was updated on the 27th of last month. Assume most if not all female capes in Brockton Bay join or are influenced by them. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12952222/1/Reality-Bites-Worm.

Finally, I also watched “Christopher Robin.” I enjoyed it and it’s message, that living to work isn’t really living at all. I remember watching Winnie the Pooh when I was younger and thought the live action versions were nice. I like the symbolism that he’s the Heffalump taking all the happiness away. I would very much recommend it!

Nothing more today, friends! See you on Thursday!

Happy Veterans Day!

Friday

Today I finished Run With You and read the sixth through eighth novels of The Irregular at Magic High School. There were new chapters for Another Fine Mess, double jeu, Ashes to Flame, and Mauling Snarks. Sadly this is all I read today, but I did watch some more Doctor Who TV Movies.

The first was called “The Waters of Mars.” It has the 10th Doctor ending up with the crew of the first human Mars’ team. He knows from history that something bad happens the day he shows up. Thus he is faced with the choice to leave and let things happen or interfere and change things.

Next was both parts of “End of Time.” It has the Ood (yes, there is a species called the Ood and yes, and odd joke was made in their first episode), telling the Doctor that something that his old friend/enemy The Master was going to be revived. He rushes back and faces The Master and an unexpected enemy. This is also the last time the 10th Doctor is the main character. The 11th Doctor is regenerated into at the end of Part 2. The !0th’s last words are still very sad.

Since I don’t have anything else new, I’ll end this for today!

Saturday

Today, I read the ninth through eleventh novels of The Irregular at Magic High School. The new chapters today were for: Harry Potter and the Stargate, Another Fine Mess, Relic of the Future, Stand Together and Smile, Heroes Assemble!, and Tsunami. I actually read some stories I haven’t mentioned yet, so lets get to it!

First was starting to reread the first in the series ‘Stars Aligned’ called ‘An Unexpected Christmas Miracle’ by batistaangel15. It’s a Doctor Who fic about the 10th Doctor and Rose going to a Christmas planet before the battle of Canary Wharf. It’s fun and fluffy and the rest of the series happens when Rose isn’t lost to another universe. Haven’t finished cause I’m reading other things. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10892469/1/An-Unexpected-Christmas-Miracle.

I also read some chapters from the Type Moon side crossover manga “All Around Type Moon – Ahnenerbe no Nichijou.’ I found it by looking for a story where kaleid Illya meets original Illya. It’s a bunch of silly crossovers between Type Moon characters at a café called Ahnenerbe. I read long enough to find the chapter I was looking for (the chapters are linked, but not by very much.

I also got an update for a story named ‘Restart’ by Masseffect-TxS. It’s an RWBY story that has Jaune being one of the last humans and going up against the King of Grimm. When he wins at the cost of his life, he ends up waking up as he is being born. What will he do to make sure what happens in his first lifetime doesn’t happen again? Find out here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11663620/1/Restart. It was just the author saying that they edited the first few chapters based on something just released in a new episode of Season 6 (I’m way behind, need to watch and catch up sometime).

I also watched the first two episodes of Season 5 of Doctor Who. I officially met the 11th Doctor and his new companion, Amelia (Amy) Pond (and his to-be companion Rory Williams). After meeting Amelia when she was young (after he crashes into her garden), he promises to help her with something when he gets back in 20 mins. However, he comes back twelve years later and she’s not happy to see him. After helping her out he invites her to come with him. I’m looking forward to watching more later!

It was also the Community Day for Pokémon Go and Cyndaquil was the focus today. I only walked for 50 mins because of issues with logging in and that a memorial service for one of my church members was in the middle of it. She was a great woman and will be dearly missed. I did get two shinnies and that’s enough for me.

That’s it for today, see everyone tomorrow!

Sunday

Today, I read the twelfth and thirteenth novels of The Irregular at Magic High School and some more chapters of An Unexpected Christmas Miracle. There were new chapters for: The Unseen Hunt, SAO: The Eroge and Seerking’s Asylum. I also reread Flames of the Night Sky.

I reread parts of the second story in the ‘Reinforced’ series by Lupine Horror. The first one is called ‘Reinforced Magic’ and it’s a crossover between Lyrical Nanoha and Harry Potter. At the end of the second season of Lyrical Nanoha (called A’s) a character named Reinforce is destroyed to stop a threat. However instead of being destroyed, she ends up in front of a young Harry Potter who just had acid poured on half his face. She merges with him to help him and stays with him while teaching him her magic. When they end up at Hogwarts, things really get interesting. The link to the story can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10181533/1/Reinforced-Magic. The second one (the one I read) is called ‘Reinforced Chamber’ and deals with Harry’s second year and meeting the rest of the Lyrical Nanoha crew. This one can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10242368/1/Reinforced-Chamber. The author is still working on the third story at this time.

I spent most of the afternoon going around my town looking for a Pokéstop that had the task for a new Pokémon this month, nincada. I spent several hours doing it, but couldn’t find one. When I posted this to the GroupMe for the area, I was informed where one was not far from where I had been searching. … Needless to say I got it and caught the Pokémon. Sadly, last night the main GroupMe group for PoGo in my area semi-imploded and now there are more groups based on the factions. As I am neutral (if unhappy at being kicked out of a side group because of one of the instigators getting someone to add them and then they kicked everyone out. Luckly, they couldn’t kick out the owner and he kicked them out and reinstated us), I’m in all groups (except the Valor and Mystic ones, cause I’m Instinct. Not that I really care, honestly, it’s just a game) and hopefully things will get better.

Wow, these posts are really short this weekend, right? Tomorrow I’ll post, so see you then!

Monday

I read only the fourteenth novel of The Irregular at Magic High School today. I also re-watched episodes 8 to 10 of GATE because I wanted to re-watch Rory Mercury’s verbal beat down of the Japanese Senate representative. There were new chapters for Another Fine Mess (which lead me to the previous sentence), Mauling Snarks and Tsunami.

I also read/reread some more sakurademonalchemist stories. The first one I started rereading was called ‘Naruto Emiya.’ It’s a crossover between Naruto and the Fate part of the Type Moon universe (or Natsu-verse). It has Zelretch (the immortal troll) finding Naruto almost dead in Konoha (when he was young, like 8) and sends him to Kiritsugu soon after Illya is born. Being raised with the Einzberns and training under earlier mentioned immortal troll, he changes many things. Find out more here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10005938/1/Naruto-Emiya.

Another one I reread was ‘Sorcellerie Miraculeuse.’ It’s a Harry Potter and Ladybug and Cat Noir crossover. Female Harry leaves Britain after the Triwizard Tournaments with Fleur’s families help. She ends up in class with the Miraculous crew and becomes Ladybug instead of Marinette. This changes many things. Here’s the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12050723/1/Sorcellerie-Miraculeuse.

Finally, I read ‘On a Wing and a Prayer’ for the first time (Sadly nothing to do with The Greatest American Hero series even though the title is based off the theme song). It’s a Supernatural and Fate/Zero crossover. After season 2, Sam goes to Fuyuki to participate in a tournament to try and save his brother from Hell. However, he only gets a shade of a hero. Going anyway changes many things; find out what they are (even though it’s unfinished) here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12188071/1/On-a-Wing-and-a-Prayer.

I got a new chapter for a story called ‘Moving On: Tales of Marinette & Adrien’ by HawkwardDolphin. It’s a Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir story about Marinette thinking of moving on from Adrien and Chat Noir (what he’s called in the story) telling her to do what makes her happy. Things are a mess because of the ‘Love Square’ (only technically a square, but that’s what fans call it). Read what happens, here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11709578/1/Move-On-Tales-of-Marinette-Adrien.

I also started reading a story called ‘My Name is Harry Potter’ by megamatt09. It’s a crossover between the DC universe and Harry Potter. Harry is an auror who sees something he shouldn’t have and is thrown through the Veil. But he survives and plots how to get revenge with the League of Assassins. Watch how he carves a new life for himself, here – https://archiveofourown.org/works/4002850.

R-rated Content

So I’m just gonna flat out say it, I can only think of a few of megamatt09’s stories that are not more than liberally filled with sex scenes. In fact, a few of his stories are just a collection of one shots of Harry or Spiderman having sex with different women. I read them for the story, not the sex. However I’m also an adult, so I would hope that any underage people reading this will not follow the link. This one does have sex, but it doesn’t ever become as prominent as his other stories and starts after a few chapters. Fair warning.

R-rated Content

Today was also a very sad day for Marvel fans with the passing of The Legend – Stan Lee. He was the creator of some of our favorite Marvel heroes, including Spiderman and the X-Men. His cameos in the MCU will be missed and I look forward to him hopefully being in at least the Captain Marvel and Avengers 4 movies.

See everyone of Thursday, which will be the day before Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee comes out! See everyone then! (Posted at Midnight)

Yes, There are A Lot of New Original Stories in this One! (Mostly Because of sakurademonalchemist)

Tuesday

So finished rereading the last part of Black Sky and am looking forward to the author putting more out soon (hopefully). I also read a few more chapters of Ashes of the Past (early 50’s) because I’ve seen new chapters but I want to finish rereading first. There were updates for It’s in the Cards, Queen of the Seas, A Ninja Summoned, Worm: More Than Meets The Eye, and Seerking’s Asylum. I spend the rest of the day reading stories by sakurademonalchemist and watching shows from the Who-verse.

I decided to read some stories by sakurademonalchemist that I hadn’t before and the first one was ‘Demonic Jewels.’ It’s a KHR AU (Alternate Universe) where there are Demons and the female Tsuna is training to become a jewel summoner. She ends up as Hibari’s roommate because no one else will. It’s interesting and I like it. If you want to read (just remember that this author rarely finishes stories) it can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12877054/1/Demonic-Jewels.

The next one is called ‘Wrathful Skies’ and is a Harry Potter and KHR crossover. The female Harry is Xanxus’ half sister and calls Krampus to her neighborhood one Christmas when she’s young. She runs away and becomes ferial with Sky flames and a wolf partner. Squalo finds her and takes her back to the Varia where things become interesting. The story can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12457722/1/Wrathful-Skies,

Then was ‘Partners in Crime’ which is another Harry Potter and KHR crossover. It has a young Harry being abandoned in Itay and finds a young (female) Belphegor and they team up to steal. After killing a high up Varia officer, Xanxus comes and recruits them. Watch as things change here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12419551/1/Partners-in-Crime.

After that, there was ‘Queen of Conquerors’ which is a Harry Potter and Type Moon Universe crossover. It has a young female Harry being transported to the time of Alexander the Conqueror and is adopted as his daughter. She grows up and is his heir before she is called back to her time for the Triwizard Tournament. Watch as her upbringing affects the wizarding world, just click this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12168885/1/Queen-of-Conquerors.

Continuing, there was ‘Here in an Instant, Gone in a Flash’ which is a triple crossover. It has Harry as the main character, includes the DC TV Universe and has The Librarian TV movie elements too. When Ripper chases Harry into the tree (when he was young, see Book 3), it’s struck by lightning and he gains speedster powers. He then becomes the Magical Librarian (the other Librarian still gets his own job later) and eventually goes to Central City before the events of The Flash. There’s more too it, but that’s the jist of it. It can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12213589/1/Here-in-an-Instant-Gone-in-a-Flash.

Let’s take a quick break to talk about the DC TV Universe and The Librarian. The DC TV Universe consists of Arrow, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl. Arrow is about the Green Arrow and his return to his city and taking care of the criminals there. Eventually, The Flash comes in and Barry gets his speedster powers. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes villains and heroes from both series and has them travel through time to take out an immortal villain. Supergirl is about Supergirl and her debut, but eventually connects to the others.  (I know it’s kinda short, but there is a lot in the DC TV Universe.  Cut me a break).

Then there’s The Librarian. It’s about Flynn Carsen, who is kicked out of Uni after getting 20 degrees. He then interviews to become The Librarian (not that he knows what that is at first) and gets the job. He is then sent on an adventure and everything he knows helps him. There were originally three TV movies, but eventually they made a series about it called The Librarians. He activates three others who could have been The Librarian and they form a team.

I’ll cut the sakurademonalchemist stories for now and talk about more tomorrow so I can talk about the Who-verse things I watched. I watched the Doctor Who TV movie, “Planet of the Dead.” It has the Doctor joining a group of people on a bus (including a thief the police are chasing) that is transported to a planet where there’s only sand. They try to get back through the portal, but danger lurks in the distance. The Doctor also gets and ominous warning, “Your song is ending” and “He will knock four times”. Dun, Dun, DUN!

Then I watched the (technical) third season of Torchwood. It’s essentially a five part mini-series called “Torchwood: The Children of Earth.” It has the children of Earth stopping several times and telling people that ‘We are coming.’ An alien race is coming and they want children to make them go away. Watch as the Torchwood and the government clash and try and make them go away.

I also voted today! Not going to talk politics (because it makes people crazy, no really some people on both sides really need to grow up and stop the blame game), but it’s a right people need to exercise and I did!

That’s all I’ll talk about today see you tomorrow! Allon-y, as they say!

Wednesday

So today was mostly me reading the first three The Irregular at Magic High School novels and starting the fourth. Since I mentioned it last post it made me want to reread them. There were new chapters for Demon Lord of the End (the real third chapter), Burning Ice, The Healing Touch and Heroes Assemble! I also learned that Seerking is taking a break from his schedule until the 21ist.

I reread a Quatermass story called ‘Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, Ashikabi’s Life for Me.’ It’s a Sekirei and Pirates of Caribbean (I’m not gonna explain this one, look it up and watch it if you don’t know it. Well, at least the first one, the rest are take it or leave it) crossover. It has Captian Jack Sparrow being reincarnated into Minato. This changes many things. Find out here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12510813/1/Yo-Ho-Yo-Ho-An-Ashikabi-s-Life-for-Me. (I might have talked about this one, but whatever.  I should probably make a list of the series and fanfiction I’ve already recommended) That’s really all for today, but there are things I need to finish from yesterday (there was a lot yesterday and there’s more).

The last of the new stories (for me) from sakurademonalchemist was ‘Trick Hunt.’ It’s an Avengers (MCU) and Supernatural crossover. Supernatural is a popular demon hunting show following Dean and Sam Winchester who are ‘Hunters.’ They hunt and destroy things that hunt humans. Originally they’re looking for their dad, but things change. It has over 13 seasons and is still going.

The story has Loki being sent into a human body without his memories by Odin after the first movie as repentance. God sees this and changes his body to Dean Winchester. When Dean is brought back at the beginning of Season 3, Loki is awakened and he and Dean work to together to solve their problems. Oh, did I mention that he’s back before he attacked New York as well?  See how things are changed here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11805656/1/Trick-Hunt.

I also got a new chapter for a sakurademonalchemist story yesterday called ‘Flames of the Night Sky.’ It’s a KHR and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (from now on called Lyrical Nanoha) is about an elementary school girl (Nanoha Takamichi) who finds a magical ferret (from space and who is really a shape shifting young boy) named Yuuno. He wants her to find the Jewel Seeds that were on his crashed ship. However, there is another young named Fate who wants them as well. There are currently five seasons and four movies (the movies are a separate universe, with the first two covering the first two seasons and the third and fourth being a new story based on a games), though the fourth movie hasn’t aired in the US yet.

The story has Tsuna’s mom dying young and his dad cannot be contacted, so Tsuna ends up being adopted by his mom’s friends, the Takamichis. There gets mixed up in the events of Lyrical Nanoha and meets Xanxus and his crew. The story can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12455154/1/Flames-of-a-Night-Sky.

I also started rereading a sakurademonalchemist story called ‘Queen’s Redemption.’ It’s a KHR and Once Upon a Time crossover. Once Upon a Time is a show about a universe called ‘The Enchanted Forrest,’ where fairy tales originate from. However, there are many differences. It starts with Snow White and Prince Charming’s wedding, where the Evil Queen promises to take away their happy endings. She sets up a spell that transports everyone to a ‘world without magic’ (ya know, our world) and the only one who can break it is Snow’s and Charming’s daughter on her 28th birthday. They send her ahead as a baby before the spell hits. They are stuck in a time loop (without their memories) in Storybrook until Emma (their daughter) shows up. Watch as she helps them break the curse with the help of the son she gave up, Henry (who is the Evil Queen’s adopted son).

The story has Regina (the Evil Queen) getting hit by a curse by Snow right before the original curse that makes her a child. She grows up into Lal Mitch and regains her memories when the Arcobaleno curse hits. I read some yesterday and some today (but not finished rereading yet). See how things change here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12755096/1/Queen-s-Redemption.

That finishes yesterday as well (you can see why I split it right?). I’ll post tomorrow, see you then!

Thursday

Today I read the fourth through sixth novels of The Irregular at Magic High School. There were new chapters for Celestial Worm and Code Geass: Lionheart of the Revolution. I read more chapters for Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, An Ashikabi’s Life for Me and Queen’s Revenge, but haven’t finished either yet.

I reread a one shot by kb0 called ‘Harry’s Happy Christmas.’ It’s a Harry Potter story that has Harry meeting Santa in a mall ‘Meet Santa’ area and asking for help ending the war. Read as his wish is granted in an interesting way, at this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8830812/1/Harry-s-Happy-Christmas.

The only other thing I started rereading was ‘Run With You’ by mltrefry. It’s a Doctor Who Season 3 rewrite where Rose manages to hold on and stays with The Doctor. There are also sequels where the story continues, but I haven’t finished rereading this one yet. The story can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11312389/1/Run-With-You.

That concludes this post and I’ll see everyone on Monday next week!

The Weekend of the Who-verse

Friday

I finished An Accidental Bond and reread the last chapter of Pick Up the Pieces and Rebuild. There were new chapters for Seerking’s Asylum (2 chapters), Ashes to Flame, Mauling Snarks, Cambion and Another Fine Mess. I also reread some of sakurademonalchemists fics.

The first was ‘Iron Maiden,’ which is a Harry Potter and Iron Man crossover. It has a female Harry running away after sixth year and getting an internship under Tony. She does this because he is her real father and it takes a while for that to come out. It’s interesting and I like it, just as before wishing they worked to complete more of their fics. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12967300/1/Iron-Maiden.

The second was ‘Fillies and Colts,’ which is a Harry Potter and KHR crossover. It has Dino Chaivarone being the first-born son of Lily Evans (who married into the Chaivarone). She was lured back because of the war and ‘lost’ her memory (read, James wanted her, so he caused her to forget her life in Italy) and ‘married’ James (she was already married so it didn’t take). When Dino goes to find out what happened, he finds his young half-sister and takes her back with him. Find out more here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12983284/1/Fillies-and-Colts.

The next one, ‘Paranormal Investigator Squad,’ was a new one that came out on Halloween. There’s only one chapter so far, but it’s a KHR where Tsuna and his mother’s family are spiritualists and Tsuna can see ghosts. This changes many things, which you can find out here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13107803/1/Paranormal-Investigator-Squad.

The last one (from sakurademonalchemist and also a new one), is called ‘It’s in the Cards.’ It’s a KHR and Card Captor Sakura (CCS) fic where a female Tsuna finds the Clow book and becomes the Card Captor. There is a character from CCS, Syaoran, but that’s it other than Kero (so far at least). The fic can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13106363/1/It-s-in-the-Cards.

The last fanfic is ‘Overservations of a Wannabe Kunoichi’ by Quatermass. It’s a Naruto fic where Sakura decides to investigate things while in the academy and finds Naruto’s secret. I haven’t read far, but it looks sort of interesting. Here is the fic – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11483679/1/Observations-of-a-Wannabe-Kunoichi.

I also watch the Christmas special that started off the Sarah Jane Adventures, “Invasion of the Bane.” It’s about a former companion of The Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, and her teenage companions helping to save the earth and the people on it from aliens. It’s fairy interesting, but I’m only watching it because it’s next on the list to watch in the whole Doctor Who continuity.

That’s it for today!! See you on the next line!

Saturday

I started rereading Black Sky from about 100 chapters from the current chapter. There were also new chapters for Harry Potter and the Stargate, Relic of the Future, Tsunami, It’s in the Cards, Queen of the Seas, Heroes Assemble!, Cambion and Another Fine Mess. I spent the rest of the day watching shows from the Doctor Who continuity.

I watched the first season of The Sarah Jane Adventures. It was okay, but it honestly really see it as just another spin-off just to make money. It had only 10 episodes, with every story being two episodes long.

I also watched the Christmas special in between seasons three and four of Doctor Who called, ‘Voyage of the Damned.’ It has The Doctor finding himself aboard an alien cruise liner called ‘Titanic,’ “Because it’s the most famous ship name on Earth,” the crew says. Lol, yeah, but not for good reasons. Of course, with The Doctor and a ship named Titanic, thing are obviously going to go wrong. It was interesting and The Doctor got to say ‘Allons-y Alonso’ (which was mentioned at the end of season two). I also watched the first few episodes of the fourth season and was interested to see Donna back and see the 12th Doctor’s actor in one of the episodes (just as a cast member, still one more Doctor and several seasons he even learned he would be The Doctor).

I then started watching the second season of Torchwood. I actually like Torchwood. The cast actually feels real (unlike the kind of unrealistic relationships in Adventures) and you can empathize with them. Things are starting to go down and I wonder how many members will be there at the end?

Nothing more today, tomorrow’s only a line away!

Sunday

I reread some more Black Sky and slept a lot today because my dog woke me up because of a storm again last night. There was only an omake from Taylor Varga today to placate those wanting a new chapter. No other new chapters, but I did watch more from the Doctor Who continuity.

I finished Torchwood season two and wow is it a sad overall story. I’m not going to talk about it (ya know, spoilers wink), but so many things culminated at the end that it was kind in your face (especially with Gray). How to pick up from that I don’t know (well, Jack knows, sadly), but it’s not something to look forward to.

I also finished the fourth season of Doctor Who and got to see all the shows combine for the last storyline of the season (even some older characters!) I was sad that Donna was only a companion for a season like Martha was. However we also meet River Song for the ‘first’ time (she knows more than that, but ya know spoilers).

I watched the first two episodes (one story) of the second season of The Sarah Jane Adventures and I’m already less interested than the last season. Also, the kind of main female teenage character (who admittedly was not in the season four Doctor Who conclusion) leaving the show after one storyline is kinda sad (for the show, not sad, sad).

That’s it for today, hopefully there will be more tomorrow!

Monday

Once again I reread more Black Sky, but I may finish tomorrow! There were new chapters for Tsunami and Mauling Snarks, but that was it. I spent most of the day studying and playing KHUx and Fate/GO.

There was a new chapter from ‘Jaune Ryu-Long, the Dragon Contractor’ by azndrgn. It’s a RWBY fic where Jaune is kicked out of Arc family; only to find out he can use dragon powers and summon them. The only downside is that he has to marry six women (RWBY, Pyrrha and another side character). This is the 60th chapter and it’s the first update in a while (at least almost three months because I haven’t mentioned it here). It’s good and the first fic I read from this author. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12326537/1/Jaune-Ryu-Long-the-Dragon-Contractor.

The only other update I got was from an older story, ‘double jue’ by kurohaha. It’s a Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir story where Cat Noir is shot on a patrol and finds his way onto Marinette’s balcony. She come home (from a family event) and finds and helps him, this leads to them getting to know each other better. It update was just a note saying they don’t know if it’s going to continue or not. There are sixteen chapters to read, but know that the story might not continue. The story can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11835222/1/double-jeu.

Since there is nothing else for today (and I have some time), I’ll talk about The Irregular at Magic High School. It’s a Japanese light novel turned anime that I’m a fan of. The story is about Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba going to a magic high school. Magic is technology based and has a science behind it. While the older of the two ‘siblings’ Tatsuya is in the Course 2, while Miyuki is in Course 1. Tatsuya is also more subservient to Miyuki and things are not as they seem. There are 26 light novels in Japan (there are 9 out in America, so far) with another coming out on the 10th of this month. The anime was only one season and there is an movie (that I didn’t know about until now, it’s a side story that’s not in the light novels) that came out last year. I would recommend it, both the anime and light novels.

While I was looking up stuff about Irregular at Magic High School, I got an email saying that a new chapter of Cambion came out and I read it. That really is it for today and this post, so I’ll see everyone on Thursday. And vote tomorrow if you’re from USA and haven’t yet, I know I will!

 

The Scary Holidays

Tuesday

Today, I read a few new stories and continued The Accidental Bond. There were several new chapters for Celestial Worm, Seerking’s Asylum, Service with a Smile, and (of course) Pick up the Pieces and Rebuild. I read a few other fanfics by Arthur Hansen.

The first one was one I’d read before called ‘Stark Imprint.’ It’s an Ironman and Worm crossover that has Taylor finding a destroyed armor of Ironman and having most of Tony’s brain downloaded into her own. This happens when she’s at the summer camp and is able to get help for Emma. This changes many things and Taylor is a genius. The link can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12971451/1/Stark-Imprint.

The second one was one I read for the first time called ‘Worm Who?’ It’s a Doctor Who and Worm crossover where Taylor’s mother was a Time Lady who hid herself like the Doctor with a watch from the Daleks. She never recovered her memories, but when Taylor finds the watch after her mom dies and becomes a Time Lady herself. She goes out to help people and try and fix her TARDIS. She what happens! Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9972672/1/Worm-Who.

The third (and last) one was called ‘I, RWBY.’ It’s a crossover between RWBY and Iron Man: Armored Adventures (which has a teen Tony). (Start ending announcer voice) Tony is transported to the RWBY universe and finds himself at the initiation ceremony. How will the story change with a genius inventor around? Find out here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12087771/1/I-RWBY.

The last story I started reading today is called ‘Unstoppable Force’ by Saphrae. It’s a Worm story with some elements and characters (mostly the Harvelle’s Roadhouse crew) from Supernatural, but only references to the main cast. Its main character is an OC who defeats Behemoth pre-story and is forced into the Wards. She ends up in Brockton Bay. But everything about her is a mystery, including her real name and the price she paid to take care of Behemoth. It’s a very interesting story and I haven’t caught up yet, but I’m sure I will tomorrow. Here’s the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11267518/1/Unstoppable-Force.

Nothing more today, see you on the flip side!

Wednesday

Well, I thought that Pick up the Pieces and Rebuild would be finished today (because both prequels had only 8 chapters), but the last one will be tomorrow. In order to make sure I remembered everything, I reread the story today to be sure. I also read some more The Accidental Bond and finished off to the current chapter of Unstoppable Force (which sadly hasn’t been updated in over a year). There were also new chapters for Queen of the Seas (two chapters), Raptor of the 20th Ward, and Heroes Assemble!

Today’s Seerking’s new chapter for the rotation was for the story ‘Issei – The Gaming Gear.’ It’s a The Gamer and High School DxD crossover that has Issei activating the Boosted Gear early along with one of the two ‘Gamer’ gears. With a threat that was not in the original story, Issei has a long road ahead of him. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11862985/1/Issei-The-Gaming-Gear.

I also got a new chapter for a story by Kenichi618 called ‘Less Than Zero.’ It’s an OC character in Gotham city (DC universe not the TV show). He’s down on his luck and finds out he can use a suit that his late parents made to make his life better (through stealing). Null (as he is eventually called) isn’t really a villain, but he isn’t really a hero either. Find out what happens in his story by following this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10362076/1/Less-Than-Zero.

The next new story is called ‘Vitiate’ by Arthur Hansen. It’s a RWBY and real world crossover that has Team RWBY following Salem to our world. The bad thing, Salem brought the Grim too. It has three chapters and hasn’t been updated in over a year, but maybe it will be soon (hopefully). Find out what happens when this happens here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12148501/1/Vitiate

Finally, I started reading a kb0 fic I haven’t read before called ‘The Grass is Always Greener.’ It’s a Harry Potter fic where Harry saves Daphne Greengrass from being assaulted in 6th year and she teaches him Occlumency in return. Things change between them. See how this works out at this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4334542/1/The-Grass-Is-Always-Greener.

Happy Halloween and see everyone when I post tomorrow!

Thursday

Happy All Saints Day! Today I finished The Grass is Always Greener, read more The Accidental Bond, read the last chapter of Pick Up the Piece and Rebuild (but still no information on Black Sky, which makes me said) and reread Starting Over. There were also new chapters for Broken Dreams, Queen of the Seas, Cambion and Dreams of Dragons.

There was a new chapter for a story by ThunderReborn called ‘Konsō.’ It’s a Bleach story where Ichigo doesn’t get his powers back and dies after a full life (though with no wife and raising the kids of his family and friends). He decides to pretend to be someone else and finds that no one knows the truth of the Winter War in the academy, how will he change things? There is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13020484/1/Kons%C5%8D.

There was also a new story (just posted yesterday) called ‘Burning Ice’ by MoonRaven1412. It’s a self-insert (SI) story that has the SI character thinks she’s in the Harry Potter universe when she’s really in the Black Sky universe. Starts several years before Dorea is born. It’s a KHR and Harry Potter crossover because that’s what Black Sky is. It looks interesting and can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13107911/1/Burning-Ice.

I decided to reread a one-shot called ‘The Board’ by Clell65619. It’s about several Hogwarts recent graduates taking their seats on the Board of Governors after the War (Not Harry) and how they change things based on their experiences at school.   The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6326956/1/The-Board.

I also read the first four chapters for a new Quatermass fic (just posted today) called ‘Another Fine Mess.’ It’s another Harry Potter and GATE crossover that has Harry going to Japan to meet his second cousin (Mari Kurokawa) who sets him up on a date with Shino Kuribayashi on the day the GATE appears. They help defend the people and Harry gets sent along with them through the GATE. It can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13108910/1/Another-Fine-Mess.

Lastly, the real narina posted a new story today called ‘Tsunami.’ It’s a Fairy Tail and Avengers story that has a future version of their Ripples characters dying and getting the chance to go to the Avengers universe. I’m looking forward to more chapters! Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13104348/1/Tsunami.

Have a great weekend and see everyone on Monday!

 

Have a Happy Halloween!

Friday

Today, I finished Angry Harry and the Seven, read a few more chapters of Fate’s Gamble and reread Hollow Magic (yeah, it was as bad as I remembered). I also read new chapters for Queen of the Seas (2 chapters one late last night after I posted and another midday), Ashes to Flame, Mauling Snarks, Stand Together and Smile, and Rising Dragon, Hidden Hammers (2 same times as Queen). I also read 2 Tokyo Ghoul crossovers by Quatermass.

The first one is a one shot that is called ‘The Cleaner with a Kagune.’ It’s a crossover with Black Lagoon and has the cleaner Sawyer being a Ghoul. It’s not much, but it’s okay. The link to it is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13088851/1/The-Cleaner-with-a-Kagune.

The second one is called ‘The Raptor of the 20th Ward.’ It’s a Harry Potter crossover that has Harry being a human taken in by the Fueguchi’s (Hinami’s family if you don’t recongnize it). He grows up in Japan and ends up masking up to help the non-evil ghouls and to take back Kagune from the Doves. He ends up helping Ken getting through his situation. There are six chapters for this fic currently. This is M-rated for Tokyo Ghoul universe, so watch out! It can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13097687/1/Raptor-of-the-20th-Ward.

I also read another of Seerking’s fics that’s not being updated, ‘Ranma Saotome, Chi Master.’ It’s a Ranma ½ fic that has Ranma being smarter and more powerful because he and his father left for China a year earlier and he had a different teacher for the first year. He’s stable (and had his father’s influence flushed away) and works to help Akane soon after he gets to Nerima. I like it a lot, but I wish he would update it more. The 24 current chapters can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10092339/1/Ranma-Saotome-Chi-Master.

Lastly started rereading a Ranma ½ time travel fic called ‘Ranma, the Second Time Around’ by kayemsi. It has Ranma getting killed by a demon while a college because of Happosai. He is sent back to the morning when he gets the curse. He cannot stop himself or his father from getting their curses, but is able to save Ryoga. After heading back to Nerima he works to make things better with Akane and let them have a better relationship. The author hasn’t updated since 2009, so I doubt it’ll  be finished. It’s still a good story with 93 chapters so, if you want to read it, its link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1988140/1/Ranma-the-Second-Time-Around.

I’ll end here and see you all on the next line!

Saturday

I read some more Ranma, the Second Time Around, but nowhere near the end. There were also new chapters for Harry Potter and the Stargate, Harry Potter and the Immortals, Relic of the Future, and Demon Lord of the End (an Omake). I finished watching the third season of the rebooted Doctor Who (I’ve read fanfiction, but never really watched past the beginning of the third season) and the short called Time Crash inbetween it and the Christmas Special that year.

I also watched the rest of season one of “Torchwood,” which is an off-shoot of Doctor Who. It follows Jack Harkness’ (from the first season of the Doctor Who reboot) Torchwood crew up until his showing up at the end episodes of DW season 3. They deal with Rift events at Cardiff and other abnormal events. It’s pretty good (and LBGT for those who are interested in that).

I also watched the first episode of “The Good Place.” I’m not sure if I’ll watch more, but it seems weird and that not all of them deserve to be in a ‘Heaven’ place. It’s okay, but yeah not sure.

I read a short but interesting Harry Potter fic called ‘Memoriae’ by Crymson Ash. It has the Goblet showing memories for each champion to show why they were chosen. It was okay, but nothing to write home about if you know what I mean. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12315769/1/Memoriae.

Next I read a new story called ‘Massacre in the Dungeons’ by Marylou. It has the troll from first year really being in the dungeons and killing and hurting some Slytherins. The story deals with the fallout and Dumble-dork’s plans falling apart. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12065437/1/Massacre-in-the-Dungeons.

The last new story I started reading was ‘The XXXX You Say’ by Selector. The X’s mean exactly what you think they do (it’s the first line of the story too). It has Harry going to the Goblins after he gets his notice because of the Dementor attack before his 5th year. He decides to xxxx the British wizarding world and goes to America with Hermione and everyone he can save. It also has muggle government and powerful Harry. I’ll also put a trigger warning here for mentions of non-con sex (no actual, just implied). The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12264641/1/The-XXXX-You-Say.

Lastly, I started rereading ‘The Realm of Passing’ by Oracle2Phoenix. It’s a Harry Potter fic that has him getting hit by the killing curse in the graveyard. He meets his parents and they help him and give him some information. He works to find out how to get rid of Voldie while away from Dumbles. It’s a 10 chapter, unfinished Harry/Ginny fic and hasn’t been updated since 2013 (though one of their fics was updated in August). Here’s the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8207941/1/The-Realm-of-Passing.

Nothing more today, see you on the flip-side.

Sunday

I read some more The XXXX You Say and Harry Potter: Choices and finished the Realm of Passing. There were new chapters for Raptor of the 20th Ward, The Unseen Hunt, and Queen of the Seas. I also read a few one-shots today.

The first two are from Oracle2Phoenix. The first is called ‘Harry, the Doctor and the Ponds’ and is a Harry Potter and Doctor Who crossover. Okay it’s not really a one-shot, but the author hasn’t posted a new chapter since 2012 so it’s a one shot to me. It has the Doctor finding Harry as Voldie dies in 1981. He takes him in to raise him. It can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7903544/1/Harry-the-Doctor-and-the-Ponds.

The second one is a one shot called, ‘Setting the Record Straight.’ It’s a Harry Potter story where Harry goes to Little Hangleton after the war to exonerate Frank Bryce in the eyes of the town. You can read it here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8017133/1/Setting-the-Record-Straight.

I also read two one-shots by kb0. The first one was Harry Potter: Unchampion. It has Harry deciding to not participate and rebel a year earlier. It’s a Harry/Ginny fic and can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3793741/1/Harry-Potter-Unchampion. The second one was ‘Harry Potter’s Reaction to the Marriage Law.’ It has a marriage law being made the year after the war (led by the surviving blood purists). Harry decides to run with as many people as he can save to France and to leave the British wizarding world to slowly fall apart. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6049450/1/Harry-Potter-s-Reaction-to-the-Marriage-Law.

I also read a fic I haven’t read before by kb0 called, ‘Harry Potter: Ironwizard.’ It’s a Harry/Hermione story that has Hermione helping Harry make an Ironman armor to go against the Death Eaters and Voldemort. It’s a completed 10 chapter story that’s pretty interesting. Here’s the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12706376/1/Harry-Potter-IronWizard.

I started rereading a fic by Arthur Hansen called ‘Falling Iron.’ It’s an Avengers and Worm crossover that has Ironman ending up in the Worm-verse before he can fall back through the wormhole in the first Avengers movie. Taylor helps him and she becomes his assistant. The link to the fic – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9705512/1/Falling-Iron.

Lastly I started reading a fic called ‘Memories of Iron’ by becuzitswrong. It’s an Ironman and Worm-verse crossover.  It has Taylor getting accused of stealing test answers the semester before the locker. The night it happened she is given the memories of a dying Tony Stark from a doomed universe (a much later than where the MCU is currently Tony). She uses this to help save her universe. It’s almost finished (I think) but hasn’t been updated since 2016, so … Anyway, here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10230499/1/Memories-of-Iron.

See everyone when I post this tomorrow!

Monday

I read some more Memories of Iron and finished Falling Iron. There were new chapters for Mauling Snarks, Queen of the Seas and (drum roll please) Pick Up the Pieces and Rebuild! The author is going to be posting the last (I assume) two chapters over the next two days, so I’m looking forward to it! Maybe they’ll start working on Black Sky again!!!

Other than that I started rereading ‘The Accidental Bond’ by kb0. It’s a Harry Potter fic were Harry has a power to bond witches he saves to himself. He cannot control it and it’s about how he deals with it. The story is a Harry/Hermione/Ginny/Gabrielle Delacour fic. It’s a very good fic in my opinion and I look forward to rereading more of it tomorrow. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5604382/1/The-Accidental-Bond.

I’ll wish everyone a Happy Halloween a few days early and I’ll post next on All Saints’ Day!
