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 Blad 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 byCalanor. 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 Another Post with Mostly sakurademonalchemist Stories

Hi everyone, I’m on time this post! It was a short week, but I was kept busy with my job. I’ve started rereading Mauling Snarks and finished A Distant Storm, but other than that I haven’t really read something I’ve already talked about. The new chapters this week are: Naruto: The Game of Life, Heroes Assemble!, Hive Daughter, Taylor Varga (Omake Continued), Ashes to Flame (finishing it), Breaking the Gilded Cage, Angels and Demons and Mauling Snarks.

Moving on, I’m gonna continue with what I read by sakurademonalchemist. The first one I reread was Messenger of Hope. It’s a Naruto and Sonic the Hedgehog crossover. Sonic the Hedgehog is a game and cartoon about a very fast blue hedgehog that goes against Dr. Robotnik.

In the fic, Sonic and his friends are summons that fem. Naruto gets before she graduates the academy. She starts up a messenger service under another name and when she doesn’t graduate, makes it her fulltime job. Watch her and the Sonic crew change things, including the Akatsuki. It hasn’t been updated since 2015.

Second I reread was Gorgon, a Harry Potter and Fate/Unlimited Blade Works crossover. It has Illya waking up in Diagon Alley years in the past after being killed in UBW. She discovers it is when Harry Potter starts Hogwarts and goes with him to make his life better. Watch as she changes his and her lives to make them better. Also not updated since 2015.

Then came the ones I read for the first time. First one was Iced Darkness, a Harry Potter and Rise of the Guardians crossover. Rise of the Guardians is a movie about Jack Frost, a spirit who is chosen to join spirits like Santa Claus and Easter Bunny in the Guardians. However, Pitch wants to drag them all into the blackness. Who will win?

The fic has fem Harry becoming the dark version of Jack’s powers after her owl is killed and nothing is done about it. She and Jack are eventually told to join the Guardians, but Pitch has his own plans, including one that led fem Harry to where she is. Last updated in 2014.

Second is Golden Queen, a Fate/Stay Night and Harry Potter crossover. It has an under ten fem. Harry being assalted by a man in Japan and accidentally summoning a Saber version of Gilgamesh from the Archer at the church. He deages to Kol Gil and they grow up together under the Magus Killer’s fathering. How will this change things? Same update time as previous one.

Next is The Death God and the Mystic Eyes, which is a Bleach and Tsukihime crossover. Tsukihime is from the Type-Moon Universe. It’s about Shiki Tohno, a boy who, unless he wears special glasses, can see lines on everything that if he traces them, kills them. This ability is called, The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. He has to deal with Dead Apostles and a True Ancestor that come to his city. Arceuid, the True Ancestor, is after one of the Dad Apostles that keeps reviving himself. In the Visual Novel, like with Fate/Stay Night, you can pursue different girls.

In the fic, Ichigo finds himself with these eyes and wants to change them. He works with Rin (from Fate/Stay Night) and Zelretch to do this. There isn’t much in the Bleach storyline yet, but that time period just started. Again not updated since 2014.

Lastly is one I mentioned about near the beginning of my blog, but didn’t link to or talk about. I reread Memories of Nobody, which is a Kingdom Hearts and Harry Potter crossover. It has Xion, #14 from Organization 13, taking Fem Harry’s place after the killing curse kills Fem Harry to put her and her parents into Kingdom Hearts to be reborn. Watch as Xion goes to Hogwarts and tries to save her fellow Nobodies (that she actually likes). Not updated since 2017.

Finally I reread parts of the fic, Here in My Arms by Platinumsabr. It’s a Rosario + Vampire fic. Rosario + Vampire is a manga turned anime about Tsukine Aono. He is a human boy who’s parents accidentally sign him up for a school for monsters (youkai) called Youkai Academy. He meets a female vampire named Moka who really likes his blood. However, she has an powerful inner personality that only he can free. Watch as he tries to get by while hiding that he’s a human.

In the fic, it’s after the first two years of schooling and Tsukine decides he’s gonna confess to Moka. It doesn’t go well and he chooses to let go of something that he already knew he had already lost, changing everything. It’s a good story with 30 chapters, but unfortunately hasn’t been updated since 2017.

That’s all for the rest of the week. I’ll be on time next week and hope everyone has a great weekend and those of you who play PoGo, good luck on Clampearl tomorrow. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
