Changes are a Coming

Hello, everyone! I hope everyone had a great week. Mine was fine, I’m most likely going to have to start earlier for the next month or so because of a change at one of our locations that needs a morning delivery. I had hoped it would be overtime, but because it’s just about half an hour I’ll just be leaving earlier (and I also potentially have jury duty this coming week).

I did go and see the new Reincarnated as a Slime movie on Friday, and it was amusing. I honestly never thought I’d be rooting for Gobta in the romance department. I posted the third chapter of my fanfic Thursday and you can find the links in the My Fanfics at the top of the homepage.

My first listening change was that I finished Hero Academia DxD and decided to relisten to Back to the Beginning by Aliandris. It’s another MHA fic that I first mentioned in the quest here. It’s an Izuku/Ochaco fic where they both got OFA in different timelines. Things go wrong in Jaku City and they both die at the same time. 2nd has a time travel quirk and they both get sent back in the same timeline. Watch as they try and fic as much as they can. It still hasn’t been updated since 2024, but it has 92 chapters.

The second change was that I also finished Avatar Taylor and decided to relisten to The Reincarnator’s Tavern by GnomeBob. I’m actually surprised I don’t have this on the site considering I like listening to it, but who knows. This one is a bit complicated, so 100 people are reincarnated by an afterlife tavern and asked to play a game. They can chose one of two body types and roll six 6-sided dice (2 of each color to add together) to choose which what the power level each of the classes is (It’s more complicated, but the first chapter is an info dump). The ultimate game is played in the MCU, but the two body types are made up of other stories that you learn before the main story of the MCU starts. The first body type has the DBZ, HP and Naruto power systems and you have to learn them in the world during the story. The second body type has the HxH, One Piece and SW power systems. In each of them you’re the same age as the MC, but the players forget everything about all the worlds of the game.

The player we follow is Rayleigh Rush. He chooses SW as his main power and starts off there. He ends up on Tython and learn how to use his chosen main skill, Psychometry. Watch as he trains to become a swordsman, and helps mess up the stories he’s in. It has 83 chapters and he’s gone to the MCU to train with Hawkeye as a kid, HxH for most of its storyline, One Piece thru Ace’s death (though the players messed the conclusion to that) and has just returned to SW around the time of Episode 2. It’s fun and worth the read, sadly it was last updated at the end of last year.

Lastly, I reached the last chapter I remember reading from Tome of the Orange Sky (Though I’m now reading them to finish it as it is complete) and decided to change to Obscured By Clouds by Umei no Mai and InsaneScriptist. A warning before I describe this one, it’s locked to AO3 users only. This is a KHR fic, where almost a year after the ‘Cradle Affair’ (which I agree with several fics [including this one] is a stupid name), the cloud officer tries to kill off a civilian who disrespected him. However, she survives and kills him with Cloud flames, making her the new Cloud Officer. Other than being sad at her parents deaths during the incident, she acts like an adult and makes things better at the Varia. Including getting Xanxus out a lot earlier. It’s a good fic and is complete with 9 chapters.

So, onto the quest, first is Forgetting by sbmcneil. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot prequel to another one of this author’s fics. It’s the summer after The Chamber of Secrets and Ginny is not doing well. Both she and Harry are saying they need to see each other, but the adults around them are scared of what’s happening. Dumbledore convinces the Weasleys to obliviate her of her first year and does the same to Harry. Afterwards, the two meet up in a dream and Ginny is sent to Beauxbatons on Harry’s dime. It’s all set up and a mess of bad choices and mostly unnecessary as most is explained in the main fic.

Second is one I’ve talked about listening to before: Forging Destiny by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter fic I first mentioned here. Harry meets Sirius before he goes to London and decides to stay with him. Sirius takes him to Grimwald Place and helps him to take control of his life. Sirius also gets a new identity and sets things up to bring down Dumbles influence. It’s complete with 38 chapters and a sequel.

Third is Forgotten Angel by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Harry Potter, Supernatural and Consantine crossover that I first mentioned during the last quest, here. Harry is projected to die at birth, so the angels send Castiel to make sure Voldie dies. However, his memories are scrambled by the killing curse so he lives a Harry. He becomes Cas Shields and is John Constantine’s little brother. Hogwarts won’t know what’ll hit them. It’s incomplete with 12 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Fourth is Forgotten Famigilia by sakurademonalchemist. This one is a Harry Potter and KHR fic that I also mentioned in the last quest, here. Harry learns his has family before third year and contacts his Great-Aunt Daniela Vongola. Learning about his situation, she takes over his guardianship after the Sirius mess. She decides to send Xanxus to Hogwarts with him to make sure Harry should stay there. It has 20 chapters and was last updated in 2017.

Fifth and last is Formed From Clay by sakurademonalchemist. This is one is a Harry Potter and Fate/Stay Night crossover I having mentioned yet as it came out after the quest. When Lily has trouble conceiving (because James’s seed was damaged), she uses a ritual and her child is an incarnation of Enkido. Fem Harry (Rhea) eventually finds this out and leaves the wizarding world behind. She ends up in Fuyuki for the 4th grail war and meets a certain ancient king. It’s fun, but only has 7 chapters and was last updated in 2020.

Well, there’s plenty more I could mention, but I need to turn off my screens soon. I’ll see you next week and I’ll mention if I was on a jury (but not the details, obviously). As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

I’ve Been Distracted By Another Long Fic Again

Hello everyone! It’s been a busy week of lots of driving and I’m looking forward to my supervisor being off next week. There’s not much coming up but I’m currently working on clearing out my photos as I have almost 43 GBs of them on my phone. It’s mostly screen shots of manga names or pics to identify them later, so I’m adding them to my manga to read app.

Anyway, I’ve just today started to get back into the listening schedule, but I’ve made a few changes (to the current listening list, not how it works). First, my replacement for the fourth block is Avatar Taylor by Dalxein. It’s a Worm and Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover that I’ve mentioned on the current quest, here. When Aang almost dies at the end of Season 2, Raava gathers the energy for a new Avatar. However, when he lives, she just lets it go and dissipate on its own. The Queen Administrator shard finds and absorbs it. It changes how it plans to go about connecting to Taylor and her powers. Now Taylor has the Avatar powers and is changing people and powers. It has 54 chapters, but sadly it hasn’t updated since late 2024.

I’m also finished Baccano! Vol 3 and plan to listen to the newest volume of Reborn as a Space Mercenary, vol 14. I haven’t started listening to it yet, but I’m fairly sure this one is when they go to one of the Dwarf twin’s hometown spaceports to deal with an epidemic. It’s sure to be different from the webnovel, so I’m looking forward to it.

Finally, I was tired of The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, so I’m changing it to a new fic that I’m still in the process of reading (and that the title is referencing). It’s called A Nascent Kaleidoscope by AStoryForOne. It’s a multi-crossover that starts off with Fate series and High School DxD, then quickly goes into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s about a semi-reborn Zelretch who’s reborn as Sirzetch’s bastard Half Devil son with barely any devil energy. When he awakens his memories, he realizes that he’s barely living and decides to so to another timeline. However, not before stealing the Boosted Gear from Issei and blowing up a bomb in Sona’s face for how she treated him. It has 676 chapters currently and it was updated last week. It’s definitely worth a read, however if you don’t know a series, you may be a bit confused. He goes to many of the Fate series, RWBY, Bleach, Harry Potter, and Campione to start. There’s a very amusing Bleach omake around chap 400 that made me burst out laughing and I still smile whenever I think about it.

And now, onto the quest, first is First Crisis by TheBeardedOne. This is a sequel to Dark Knights and a crossover with The Institute Saga series (that I’ll get into later). DK Superman (raised as Bruce’s brother) accidentally gets transported to THS world and they work to get him back. It’s complete with six chapters.

Second is First Kiss by seritha. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot set in fifth year. Harry and Ginny both are hoping for their first kiss soon with Cho and Michael. However, when Ginny says she would rather have her first kiss to be with Harry, he decides to grant her wish.

Third is Fixing Messes by Phantom1s. This one is a Harry Potter time travel story. At the end of Harry’s life, he and Hermione plan to use his magic to turn back time to right the wrongs of the war and past it. It’s a Harry/Ginny and Hermione/Ron fic. It’s completed and an interesting read.

Fourth is Flameheart by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR and MHA crossover that I first talked about here. Tsuna is considered quirkless, but it was really sealed by his father. He’s living the best he can until he finds out that All Might is his grandfather. Watch as he takes Yuuei by storm, or as much as you can with only 8 chapters. Izuku still gets One-For-All in this fic that hasn’t been updated since 2019.

Fifth and final is Flames by Fencer22. This is a Worm fic with KHR powers that I mentioned before here. Taylor triggers with Dying Will Flames (Not Sky) and decides to just give up on Earth Bet. She lets you know why she thinks it’s dying and wants to escape with as much as she can. It’s completed with 23 chapters.

That’s everything for this post. I hope everyone has a great week and I’ll see you next week. I’m off to read more of A Nascent Kaleidoscope, so as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Happy Easter 2026

Hello, readers! Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. It’s been another quiet week for me. Work’s slow, but this coming week is busy with trips. I did finish the work on getting my text to speech back to working order.

I’ve not really been following the schedule for either my reading list quest or listening cycle and will probably need to get back into it. However, I have listened to a few things and completed some, so here we go!

I completed Go Away I’m Watching Porn, by reading the last 10 or so chapters. Mostly because I’ve maybe read that once and it’s also really emotional. I also listened to and finished Exodus by Zaru. It’s the Worm and Big Hero 6 fic I mentioned in the quest recently and first mentioned here. It’s an interesting little fic that’s essentially a sequel of sorts for both.

I also finished the 3-part fic Secret Love by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter fic that I first mentioned here. Harry and Ginny get together in his Fifth year after Christmas, but don’t tell anyone. The main story starts at the end of sixth year, and they decide to fake a breakup to keep her safe. It’s a great fic and worth a read. There were others, but none are really a replacement for the fourth block and I hope to get back into the schedules.

And now, onto the quest, first is Fifteen Ways to Make You Prince RememberYouExist! By SailorLeia. This one is a Sailor Moon R AU where Serena (the English Dub name for Usagi) tries her best to make Darian remember what they had before the end of season 1. It’s wacky and weird at times, but a fun completed fic with 23 chapters.

Second is Fillies and Colt by sakurademonalchemist. This is a KHR and Harry Potter crossover that I first mentioned here. Lily marries into the Chaivarone and is Dino’s mother. She is lured back to because of the war and James causes her to forget her life in Italy to marry her. After Dino takes over, he goes to find out what happen to her and finds Melody (Fem. Harry), his half-sister. He’s taking her home, come hell or high water. It’s got 9 chapters and was last updated in 2018.

Third is Finding Answers by sbmcneil. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot where Harry goes after some Death Eaters who escaped. Hannah Abbott mentions that they never found the killer. When Harry and others look into, they find that some DEs escaped because they weren’t well known. Follow him as they look into it. An interesting little fic.

Fourth is Finding the Way by ack1308. This one is a Worm fic where Taylor and Danny both trigger on the day of the locker. Danny can teleport and Taylor can find things and people. Both join the Protectorate and Wards, but don’t always agree with how things are done. It’s complete and has an alternate version that’s more than a bit NSFW and has incest (If you can find it).

Fifth and last is Fire and Rain by rayrae118. It’s a X-Men: First Class AU that I’ve mentioned before here. It’s one where they go for a different mutant other than Darwin. They instead find Jamie in a horrible situation. She helps things for the better. It’s complete with 13 chapters and has a semi-sequel.

That’s all I have time for today. I hope everyone has a great week and maybe read and comment on my fanfic. As always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Lateness Happens – No Really

Hello, readers. Sorry this is late, I got busy and didn’t have time to write yesterday. It was been a quiet week at work and I even donated blood recently! There’s not much to say for that, though I did play Pokopia. It’s interesting, but I haven’t had time to really do much with it. Still looking for a Beta reader, but am being proactive about it.

For the listening changes, I finished Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs Vol 2 and moved on to The Eminence in Shadow Vol 2. It follows Cid as he goes to see the Sacred Land for the Goddess’s Trail. Will he allow it to happen without interrupting it with his shadow games? Obviously not. However, things end up going weird and he meets and interesting person from the past. Also, what’s this about tournament? He’ll never let things be Mundane, except himself. Read and find out.

I also finished Free Life and chose Harry Potter and the Chance at a New Life by kossboss. It’s a Harry Potter and Stargate SG-1 crossover that mentioned before here. After the battle of the chamber, the horcrux in his scar is destroyed by the basilisk’s venom. Harry inherits Tom’s memories and decides that it isn’t worth staying in the wizarding world. After making sure Tom won’t come back after 4th year, he goes through the Veil of Death and ends up in the Quantum Mirror room. He takes over a Gould and makes his own territory, changing things. It’s worth a read, but author has lots of technical descriptions. It has 19 chapters and was last updated in 2024.

Finally, I finished off Issei – The Gaming Gear and moved to the oddly named Go Away I’m Watching Porn by Third Fang. It’s another High School DxD fic, but with an OC from YAWALEH, Ghost, that I’ve mentioned before here. I’ll start off by saying there’s no sex in the fic, but porn is a common subject. Issei is a pervert, but the story is derailed when Ghost goes to find the ‘Oppai (breast) Dragon’.  Instead, he finds himself stuck as a power in a young Issei’s hand (who would become said dragon). However, things go badly sometime before the main story and Issei becomes a shut-in. [Content Warning] There is a horrible situation that happens to him, that I’m not going to reveal as it’s a mystery for a while. He is traumatized by it and for good reason. [Content Warning] It’s currently got 30 chapters and was updated last month.

Now, for the quest, first is Faith by sbmcneil. This is a Harry Potter fic that some may not be comfortable with. [Content Warning] Harry is raped by Bellatrix after his 5th year. It’s not explicit, but there it is [Content Warning]. She gives birth to a daughter and sends her back to him. This is a story about trauma and overcoming it with Ginny’s help. It’s complete with 4 chapters.

Second is Falling Iron by Arthur Hansen. This is an Iron Man and Worm crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Tony ends up in the Worm Universe (before the beginning of the story) instead of New York after redirecting the nuke in Avengers. Taylor finds and helps him. Watch as she helps him get things together in this new world. It has 14 chapters and was last updated in 2017.

Third is Famiglia Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist. This is a drabbles story based on KHR (which has been confirmed for a complete reboot!) that I’ve talked about here. It has many crossovers. There are 175 chapters and some have been made into actual stories. It was last updated late last year.

Fourth is Familia Myth: Journey to Hero by Kairomaru. This is a Familia Myth (Danmachi) AU where Bell is older when he gets to Orario. He’s wiser and more willing to respond to the women’s advances. [Content Warning] There is sex in this one, but you can skip it and it won’t affect the story [Content Warning]. It’s an interesting fic that has 43 chapters and was updated earlier this month.

Fifth and last is Farming Life In Another World by Kinosuke Naito. Hiraku dies after a long sickness and asks to be able to farm in a new world, away from other people. He works to make his farm with the tool God gave him. Many people and creatures are surprised to find him there. Watch him become a power in this world, without meaning to. This is the web novel version, so things are probably different from the light novel. I read chapters 1-837 because that was all that was translated when I read it. It now has over 1000. It has an anime and the second season was announced.

I’m letting you know that I’m skipping next week’s post because my friend is visiting again. I’ll post again in April. Have an awesome few weeks and as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

My Fic is Up!

Hello, everyone. I’ve worked and finally gotten all the added links added where they should and have the current quest list up (in A-Z order [including later ones mentioned that are prequels]). I even have a favorite list that I’ll add to as I mention more of them in posts.

Things were fine at work, but it’s been really busy. I also finally posted the first chapter of my fic on the 28th as I promised my group I would. However, one of group got back to me Thursday with recommendations for the first chapter. I spent part of the weekend (including when I would normally work on this) to finish the editing and repost it. So! Here are the links to Theurgy Thru Replevy on FF.net and AO3. I hope people enjoy it, but I’m honestly doing this for me. I’d love to write my own stories, and this is helping me. Also, I really wanted to have a completed MHA/CCS crossover even if it takes me forever.

So, onto the listening changes, I finished The Eminence in Shadow Vol 1 and moved back to Baccano! Vol 2. This is one of my favorite ones from the anime, the story of what happened on the Flying Pussyfoot train at the end of 1931, or rather, half the story. There are three groups that have their own plans for the train. Throw in two silly thieves who don’t know anything, several independents doing their own thing and the mysterious ‘Rail Tracer’. How will things turn out?

Because I didn’t post last week, I also finished that one, so now I’m on Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs Vol 2. Leon is continuing at school after the duel. Everyone hates him because they lost tons of money on the betting. Now there’s a school festival and several people are plotting against him. Will he be able to deal with it? And will anything ever happen with Livia or Angie?

Next I finished Taking Control and went to its sequel Free Life also by fake a smile. I mentioned it here before. It takes place during the summer after 6th year. Harry has escaped Dumbledore’s control and is fighting the Death Eaters that go after his students. Will he be able to see Ginny? And will things be resolved with Dumbles? Some questions are answered, but not all as it only has 6 chapters and it was last updated in 2011.

I also finished A Body Roll or Two and decided to move onto Hero Academia DxD by DinoCam1234. This one is mainly an MHA and High School DxD crossover where Izuku takes Issei’s place as the Red Dragon Emperor. It’s set in MHA and Rias is in UA already. There’re also characters from Bungou Stray Dogs (that I haven’t read or watched yet) and other anime (like Code Geass) and some MHA characters take the place of DxD characters. Its 64 chapters long and was just updated at the end of last year!

Mauling Snarks was also finished and I read the Apocrypha of the fic Mauling Canon. It’s also written by CmptrWz. It takes a different version of chap 58 and MS Taylor ends up in Canon Worm the night Taylor goes out. Shenanigans ensue. The link is to the first chapter, and it has links to all 14 chapters at the bottom.

After that I decided to listen to Issei – The Gaming Gear by Seerking again. It’s a High School DxD and The Gamer crossover I first mentioned here. Issei and his family are attacked by a rouge agent of an unknown faction, the Purifiers, before he meets Raynare and awakens his Sacred Gear. However, he has two, Boosted Gear and the Gamers Gear (Gaia). They help him defeat the Purifier, but now he has to deal with the rest. An interesting way to introduce Issei to the supernatural world, no? It has 24 chapters and sadly, Seerking still hasn’t updated this year.

In Flight was finished and I chose Heart of the Soul by sakurademonalchemist next. It’s a KHR and Ghost Hunt crossover I first mentioned here. Mai (Fem. Tsuna) breaks the seal on her flames in the middle of a case. This allows ‘Naru’s’ brother ‘Yuu-chan’ to escape where he is to her house. Now how will flames affect the supernatural? It has 21 chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2017.

I completed that one and listened to Hero Class Civil Warfare by RogueDruid (Icarius51). I honestly thought I had mentioned this one before, but it’s a MHA AU where there’s a ‘civil war’ every year between the students of 1-A and 1-B. Two of them are chosen to be the leaders of the Heroes and Villains. Of course, Bakugo is chosen as the hero leader, but Izuku is chosen as the villains. Will he be able to step into the role and help his fellow ‘villains’ win? Find out as it’s complete and has a sequel and a spin-off.

Sadly, I also completed that and turned to Tome of the Orange Sky by CmptrWz again. It’s a Naruto and slight Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover that I first mentioned here. Naruto finds an old and broken device and it uses the Kyuubi to help recreate itself. Now Kurama is dead and everything changes. It’s completed!

To end, my replacement for Weasley Brothers’ Enterprises is Hybird Hive – Eat Shard by CmptrWz. Its a Worm and Magical Lyrical Nanoha crossover that I first mentioned here. When Taylor triggers in the locker, a Belkan device is pulled along. It absorbs her shard and connects with her. How will magic affect this grim dark world? This one is also complete! With that said, I just put a link that shows what my current listening list is.

Finally, the quest continues! First is It’s OK Not to Be OK (But I Promise, I’m Trying) by rayrae118. It’s here because it’s the first in the series of the actual next one. In this one, McGonagall finds out what Harry is going through at the Dursleys and takes him in at the end of third year. It follows the summer after and fourth year. It’s mostly Harry/Ginny with some Ron/Hermione in there. It’s a good completed series overall and a favorite.

The actual first is Every Tear Fall Down for a Reason (But I Promise I Won’t Cry for You) by rayrae118. This one is the fifth-year story. How will this Harry deal with Umbridge? And will he learn the prophecy? All this and more!

Second is the Evil Gohan Series by Dr. Trunks Briefs. I’ve mentioned them before here and they’re no longer on ff.net. However, I found a drive that has all the fics here. Impasse has Future Gohan and Trunks coming to help with the androids, with a little helper. There it’s revealed that Gohan in the that future, snapped and needs meds to stay normal. They want to stop the androids and make sure Gohan stays sane.

Finesse is the sequel set when Gohan goes to high school. The future gang is back to make sure Gohan doesn’t snap and make sure things go well with Videl. However, they don’t expect Buu and Gohan being controlled. How will things work out?

Pavisse is the prequel, the story of Future Gohan and what happened with him.

Technically third is Exiles by kb0. This is a Harry Potter fic that goes AU after the final battle. The remaining Des take out the adults when they relax after the battle. The Ministry Six and George are captured and put in Azkaban. They escape and exile themselves rather than face trial. This one is completed with six chapters, a sad, but good read.

Lastly, fourth and the final E is Exodus by Ld1449. It’s a Worm and Big Hero 6 crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Taylor is tossed into the realm where Calhan’s daughter is at the end of Worm as Hiro and Baymax are saving her. They grab her as well and she heals. Find out how a former villain helps out the world’s first hero team. And are those new parahumans popping up? This is completed!

That’s it for me. Read and comment on my fic if you have time. Have a great week and as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Sorry For Missing Last Week

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Links Can Make You Late – 2026

Hello, readers. Sorry this is late, once again getting links has made me late. I have to sadly report that I didn’t get the position. Apparently, I made it into the top 5, but someone else was chosen. I don’t know who as it hasn’t been announced, but I really hope it’s someone from outside and not inside the company. Anyway, we’re busy now with an event coming up, so I’m putting off thinking about other things (maybe finding another job as I won’t leave until I have another job) until after that’s done.

I have a few changes in my listening list; first is that, on Audible, I finished Reborn as a Space Mercenary vol 13 and then read By the Grace of the Gods vol 8. Ryoma helps out at his friend’s wedding before heading home. However, he soon leaves to go help out another set of friend’s village. There he’ll have many interesting experiences, including his first negative interaction with a God. Read and find out how things go!

I also finished with that one and started In Another World with My Smartphone vol 6. Touya is searching for a part of Babylon that can help him fight the Phrase. However, things aren’t as easy as that. Especially when one of his friends comes to him begging to become his fiancée as well. Otherwise, she’ll might be engaged to a vile prince. How will he deal with this situation? Read and see!

I also finished My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist and decided to read Beyond the Outer Gate Lies by gaberiel blessing. It’s a Harry Dresden and High School DxD crossover I’ve mentioned it before here. A Harry from the later books, ends up in the void battling the Those Who Came. He defeats them, but after escaping from Great Red, he ends up in Kouh de-aged to a teenager. His humor and interactions with the supernatural elements is hilarious after he gets used to the fact things are different from his world. This is complete and even has spin off fics from another author.

Forging Destiny by White Angel of Auralon is completed as well as it’s sequel – Embracing Destiny. This one is for Harry’s fourth year after the events of Forging Destiny. Sirius is free and Minister. He interferes and changes the tournament to make it more interesting. Now Harry is able to enter if he wants and be part of a team. How will it go and will Dumbles manage to get Harry back on his side? Find out part of it as the 17 chapters end in the middle of the second task. The author hasn’t been back to this one since 2017, even though they’ve written a lot after.

When I finished with that one I started Taking Control by fake a smile. It’s an after fifth year Harry Potter fic that I’ve mentioned before here. Sirius visits Harry the summer after his death to help him prepare for what’s the come. This includes teaching him magic and how to become an animagus! However, Dumbles doesn’t exactly like Harry’s new plans and Hermione and Ron keep sticking their feet in their mouths. Ginny, however, is his biggest supporter. It’s complete and even has a sequel.

Finally, I finished vol 4 of Dahlia in Bloom – Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools, where I remember leaving off, I really need to finish the series at some point. I decided to restart and relisten to Life’s a Pay to Win Game by UnholyExcaliber as part of the cycle. It’s fun and I don’t mind listening to it again now that I’ve finished all the current chapters (109 just came out).

Onto the quest; first is Dumbledore’s Army by Bobmin356. It’s a sixth year Harry Potter fic that I’ve mentioned before here. Harry gets a magically spelled letter from his dead parents and Sirius (spelled before Lily died, but from their spirits) telling him how to get his life in order. A retired American squib helps him and his friends get ready for the war. It’s Harry/Ginny and has some dark scenes. It’s completed and has a sequel!

Second is the last of the D’s – Dusk and Dawn by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and My Little Pony crossover I’ve talked about before here. Fem. Harry (Dawn) is really Twilight’s sister who was stolen by Fawkes. She finds a spell to take her home after the trial goes wrong before 5th year. She and Sirius take it and interact with the MLP cast. It has 14 chapters and was last updated in 2014.

Third is the first of the E’s – Earning Her Stripes by ack1308. This is a Worm AU where the trio (yes, those ones) get three power granting vials. Emma and Madison take them and join Sophia in becoming superheroes. However, they want their own villain so dose Taylor. However, as things do, she Escalates. How will things go? Read and see. It has 48 chapters currently and was last updated last year.

Fourth is Effects and Side Effects by Pheonix Dawn. This is an end of 5th year Harry Potter AU that I’ve mentioned before here. Harry is turned into a girl after the Department of Mysteries when Voldie makes Draco give Harry a potion to get his soul fragment back (yes, he figured it out when he possessed Harry). However, Harry fights back and becomes more powerful. Eight school-age witches decide to help him and swear an oath to do so. Of course, this magically marries them and they all train to fight. It has 37 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Fifth and last is Elemental Harry by hermyd. This one is another Harry Potter sixth year AU. Harry and Ginny get elemental powers after his fifth year. They have to bond to control their powers (like the werewolves from Twilight, but from both sides [the author said that, not me[). How will having the power affect the fight against the dark? You’ll know if you read as it’s complete with 12 chapters.

That’s it from me and I hope we all have a better week this time. See you next time and as always; May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

Finished the Alpha Dex!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Digimon Can Make You Late

Hello, my readers! It’s been another week, and it’s been a busy one. I had to finish up things that my co-worker couldn’t do or didn’t know about during my time off when my friend visited. Then my supervisor came back, and we got more things but can’t do anything with them until his says so. It’s frustrating, but what can you do. *shrug*

Sorry this is late, it was combination of being unable to sleep, hosting a zoom for most of Saturday and playing Digimon Story: Time Stranger. I’ve been enjoying it, but I need to get better at exp farming. It seems my Digimon are not at the correct levels for where I am, at least for the boss battles. I’m currently in the Digital World, but I just fixed the trains. I’m going to take some time to grind and get a few of my Digimon to Ultimate before I move on. (lol, the original Digimon theme (Butterfly) performed by the cast just popped up on my playlist as I was writing this.)

If I had written this yesterday, there wouldn’t have been any changes to my listening list. However, today I finished Reincarnated as a Sword vol 14 on Audible and switched to By the Grace of the Gods Vol 2. In this one, Ryoma joins in a monster hunting quest in an abandoned mine. He also gets an idea for using his slimes to do laundry. How will his new business work out?

Moving on to the reading quest; first is Burnt Genes by Night Raydes. This is a one-shot Harry Potter and X-Men crossover, or rather now it is. I vaguely remember it having ten chapters, but this author used to change their name multiple times and rewrite their stories. Now as I previously mentioned, they had a break down and aren’t currently writing. It has Harry awakening a mutation and the X-Men finding him before he goes to Hogwarts. That’s really all that it has currently.

Second is By The Grace of the Gods Book 1-7. This was really added because I listened to them on Audible during the quest and added them. As I’m going to be relistening to them soon, I’m not going describe more for now. Third and last of the B’s is By Your Side is Where I Belong by TexasBean. It’s a Naruto and One Piece crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Zoro gets lost and ends up in the Elemental Nations before meeting Luffy. He does some bounty hunting work and ends up in Konoha where he meets and defends Naruto from an attacker. Kakashi takes this chance to get Naruto a better childhood and manages to “let” Zoro get “lost” with Naruto and convinces him to take him with him. They get young Gaara too and then head out to eventually meet Luffy. It’s fun and has 26 chapters. Sadly, it hasn’t been updated since early 2021.

Fourth and first of the C’s is Cambion by Quatermass. It’s a Harry Potter and High School DxD crossover I’ve talked about before here. Harry is a half devil and James kicks him out of the Potters for having a different father. Hermione reveals that Riser Phenex is his father and asked him to fight him for Rias’ hand in marriage. It has 20 chapters but sadly hasn’t been updated since 2019.

Fifth is Campione of the Holy Grail by fg7dragon. It’s a Fate Stay Night (Heaven’s Feel Route) and Campione crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Things go differently and Ilya gets revenge on Angra Mainyu as they’re in the middle of traveling in the Kaleoscope and blows herself up. This happens in the Campione universe and Ilya is reincarnated in that world with several powers as she had the other Servants spirits in her. Follow her as she has fun in her new world. It has 6 chapters and it’s interesting. Unfortunately, it hasn’t updated since 2017.

Sixth and last as I’m tired is, Campione of the Raging Tide by SeerKing. It’s a Campione fic that I’ve mentioned before here. Basically, a different eighth campione is reborn before the Guinevere arc. She accepts Pandora as her new mother and is directed to get the seventh, Godou, to accept his place before the big battle with the campione slayer that’s coming. Jean, the MC, is mostly interested in women and thus if you don’t like, don’t read. It has 31 chapters and is still updating, though it’s in the author’s schedule so it’s months before an update.

To end, I contacted my old friend to edit what I’ve written for my fanfic. They don’t know the stories much at all, but I know they read and write a lot. Therefore, I’m mostly asking them to edit for readability and if they feel I need to add more because the chapters seem short to me. We’ll see how it goes. Anyway, have a great week and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Rather Short Then Late, Right?

Hello, my readers. This week has been a bit more interesting, but next week is going to be busier. We pre-did some of the work for next week so it would go faster, but I still don’t get why it was changed from the last week of August to the first week of September. We’ve always done the work then and it made sense because in that everything would be ready for September. But there’s nothing I can really do about that other than do the work when told to.

I haven’t changed much in my listening stories. I finished Pick Up The Pieces and Take Stock by Umei no Mai and started it’s sequel, Pick Up the Pieces and Move On. It follows Xanxus as he deals with newly discovered family and figuring out where he wants to go from where he is currently. [*Content Warning*] There are male and male sexual situations in this. It’s not crucial to the fic so can be skipped. Otherwise, don’t like, don’t read. [*Content Warning*] I’ve talked about it before here.

I also finished Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship vol 12 and started Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Vol 3 (the current last one on Audible). In it, Yuna is finally at the capital and has to deal with the people there, while finding food stuffs needed to make some of her favorite foods.

Moving onto the quest, first is Beltane Child by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter fic where during the Horcrux quest in book 7, he goes to a Beltane celebration and gets roped into being the horned warrior to Daphne Greengrass’s goddess. She gets pregnant and when Harry discovers her after things don’t go well with Ginny after the war, he decides to take his fatherly duties seriously. [*Content Warning*] Slight sexual situations, all characters are above the English age of consent (16) [*Content Warning*]. Completed with 11 chapters.

Second is Best Served Cold by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter time travel fic with a slight Hellsing crossover. I’ve talked about it before here.  It’s unfinished and hasn’t updated since 2017. Third is Better Left Unsaid by Kenchi618. It’s a Naruto fic where Mizuki didn’t tell him about the Kyuubi during their battle. I’ve talked about it before here. It has 85 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2023.

Next is Between Lies and Truth by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and KHR fic where Colonello is Harry. It’s set before they’re cursed. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s unfinished with 10 chaps and hasn’t updated since 2018.

After that is Beyond the Outer Gates Lies by gabriel blessing. It’s a Harry Dresden and High School DxD crossover. I haven’t read the Harry Dresden series (even though I own and have read a little of the first book), but he’s a wizard in New York who is essentially a private detective. The one in this story is a version from latter in the series and he locks some extradimensional attackers out of his world at the cost of being on the wrong side. He defeats them all, barely, but uses a tricky power to escape from Great Red. He ends up in Kouh de-aged to a teenager and ends up in Kouh Academy. How will he react when he learns of the supernatural elements of this world? And how are they different from his own? It’s a fun, completed, 3 chapter fic.

Finally, there’s a trilogy by megamatt09; Beyond the Veil Volume One: Arrival , Beyond the Veil Book 2 Challenges, and Beyond the Veil Book 3: Deception. It’s a Harry Potter and Marvel crossover, with DC elements coming in starting in Book 2. Harry follows Sirius through the Veil of Death, and ends up in the Marvel universe. Eventually, he ends up at the Xavior Institute (in the X-Men: Evolution timeline) and tries to find Sirius and maybe a way back. He ends up with many Marvel and DC characters, starting with Kitty Pryde. [*Content Warning*] There are many sex scenes and underage sex (though they’re still in high school) and Harry with older women as well. Sex scenes can be skipped [*Content Warning*]. The trilogy is complete.

Anyway, I finally got a Switch 2, though I don’t have any new games for it. I mainly got it because I wanted to get it before the price potentially rises (I know it might not, but you never know) and in prep for Pokémon Legends Z-A. I’ve preordered it and Digimon: Time Stranger and am looking forward to them in October. At some point soon, I’ll try and update my Fanfiction database with all the new fics I’ve talked about. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
