Start of the Harry Potters (It’ll Be a Few Posts)

There’s not much to say for this week. It was a normal week, except that I had a long drive on Monday to go pick up a vehicle. I also started working on a past timeline for my fanfic. It’s mostly for me so I know what I’ve decided and don’t contradict it. The main reason I did this is because a comment (one of the few) on my fic wanted to know if was including Vigilantes in the story.

I’d actually never read it, so I just recently (this week) read most of it and found multiple timelines to try and get where in the original story it fits. Turns out I started the fic during the time skip in Vigilantes. That means I just need to mention the two main vigilantes in a few scenes for continuity (and that my view of a certain character’s thoughts about vigilantes was correct so I don’t need to change it). Not sure if I want my Izuku involved in the after time skip events as I really don’t want AfO to look into Izuku until later (and he’s heavily involved in that part of Vigilantes). I’ll be posting the sixth chapter this week, so look forward to it!

Now it’s time for the listening list changes; first is that I finished Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Vol 1 and moved onto She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 4. In this one, Mira follows some clues to see if they’ll help her find one of the missing Wise Men, Soul Howl. However, strong monsters are causing problems and she has to help. Then she finds a conflict between Chimera Clausen and the Isuzu Alliance. The former is kidnapping spirits, and the latter is trying to stop and take the former down. How will Mira deal with this? Find out in this volume!

Then I finished Game On! 3.0 and moved onto Game On! 3.1 by nordiamus. This one follows in the same life, but with a new hero as Tsukiko tries find her missing pack. This crosses over with Yu Yu Hakusho from the very beginning. Kagome’s brother, Souta, now a high schooler, sees Yusuke die and lets Tsukiko know. Seeing that something is wrong with the process, being Death’s sister, she decides to intervene. How will her intervention affect things and will she find her pack? Find out in this completed fic.

I also ran into and completed another side story for Stories of the Lone Traveler and so I’m back at it. It was Lone Traveler: Building a Better Burrow by dunuelos. In this one, the Lone Traveler finds himself at the Burrow as they’re planning to expand from the first floor. LT Harry decides to help them make a neater house while also upgrading the wards. It’s actually a complete story!

Finally, I also finished Naruto: Rise of the Lord of Foxes and did my random roll and it rolled to Cloudy, with a Chance of Freedom by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR and Harry Potter crossover I first mentioned here. In it, Skull de Mort is sent much farther back in time after the future arc and ends up in his young body. Turns out he’s really Harry Potter and decides to change things so he’s not screwed over. He finds most of the other Arcabaleno before he even gets to Hogwarts. He changes many things, but one of the biggest is bringing Viper back into the Black Family. Slight warning for those who are interested in Yaoi (boyxboy), there is a slight bit later in the story (don’t like, don’t read). It’s incomplete with 41 chapters and was last updated in 2018.

Next is the quest list, and as I mentioned these are all Harry Potter fics or a least crossovers. First is Harry and Ginny: A Love Story by Epeefencer. This is a Harry Potter AU that I first mentioned here. Harry is drawn to Ginny after the chamber and they figure out it’s a soul bond. McGonagall helps them to stay together and keep everything from old Dumbles. It’s interesting, but sadly is unfinished. It has 33 chapters which doesn’t even get them to third year. It was last updated in 2015.

Second is Harry Goes on Holiday by kb0. This is a Harry Potter two-shot set after fifth year. The Grangers convince Harry to come back with them for the summer and a vacation in Australia. There he meets a nice girl and makes him question what he wants to do with his life. This is completed and an interesting way to deal with his scar.

Third is Harry Loves Ginny and Ginny Loves Harry by Epeefencer. This is compilation Harry Potter fic of various ways Harry and Ginny could have gotten together earlier throughout the books. There’s no rhyme or reason to the order, but it’s essentially multiple one-shots. There’s 45 chapters and since it’s this kind of fic, it’ll only be completed when the author quits writing. However, it was last updated in 2015 and the author hasn’t posted since 2022.

Fourth is Harry Potter: Archangel by Phantom1s. This is a Harry Potter AU (with a slight Avengers crossover) that I first mentioned here. Harry’s accidental magic takes him the Flamels at a young age and they take care of him. He meets Tony Stark and makes a magical Ironman suit. He saves Ginny and Hermione (5^th and 6^th year) in Diagon and meets his soul mate for the first time (Ginny, Hermione is not the child of who you think she is). It’s about the two of them and friends dealing with Voldie and helping the Magical world. It’s complete with 28 chapters.

Fifth is Harry Potter: Ironwizard by kb0. Ironically, this one is another Harry Potter with an Ironman suit AU that first mentioned here. After fifth year, Hermione helps Harry make a Magical Ironman suit based on the comics. Harry uses that to deal with Voldie and ends up with Hermione. It’s complete with 10 chapters.

Sixth and last is Harry Potter: Lily’s Child by kb0. This one is a Harry Potter AU where Lily survives and raises Harry away from England. Harry is trained to combat Voldie and they come back in the middle of what would be his fifth year. It’s sadly barely started with only 3 chapters.

That’s it for the week. I have the yearly company-wide meeting this week, so yay. Hope you have a great week and 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 4^th 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 5^th 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!

The Week and a Superman Movie Review

Hello everyone, it’s me again. It’s been a pretty boring week for me. Work’s been the same, but I have now been to almost all the company locations except the farthest out ones. I did see the new Superman movie last weekend, I didn’t talk about it last post because I didn’t have time. I’ll talk a bit about it now, but before that

[*Spoilers Start*]

I thought it was an interesting movie. I’ve never really seen or heard of Kal-El’s parents being portrayed as telling him to take over the planet. The fact that part of the recording was corrupted was just dying for someone to either fix it or fake it to make things worse. Of course, most of Superman’s story is about his humanity and how he sees himself as human over being Kryptonian. He even straight out said it when confronting Lex. Superman is the mask and Clark is how he sees himself. This is interesting as Batman is the opposite. In Batman Beyond, someone tries to make Bruce think he’s crazy, but Bruce knows it’s not his subconscious speaking because it called him Bruce. He implies that he calls himself Batman in his head.

Moving on, Krypto being an untrained menace really makes the movie amusing. That Krypto is a cause or mitigating factor of most of the issues throughout the movie, makes it great that Clark uses him to help defeat Ultraman. Of course, Kara being a drunk party girl is an interesting take, but we’ll have to see where that goes.

Ultraman being a Superman clone, yeah, I could tell just as soon as Lex and his crew just straight up walked into the Fortress of Solitude. I mean really, the One character who wears a mask and doesn’t speak for the whole movie, even if I didn’t already know about Bizarro, I would have thought clone. Yo no est stupido.

Lex being in touch with his feelings and admitting that he’s jealous or envies Superman, seemed slightly out of character for him. Not the fact that he knows he’s jealous or envious, the fact he admits it, to Superman, in front of subordinates. Lex’s got an ego and my take on him is that he might if they were alone, but in front of others? Not unless he was in full meltdown mode, which he wasn’t at that point in time.

Lois being about to break up with Clark was an interesting choice. I mean, she was worried about their differences, but she got over her doubts when she saw his humanity over his being an alien. Her going to his house and seeing his history there in his room, soothed her that he was as human as she was.

Guy and the Justice Gang… Lol, Nathan Fillion did a great job portraying Guy’s Ego with a slight willingness to help people. Hawkgirl was great, though it took me a second to get used to her scream when she first started to attack. Mr. Terrific, I honestly don’t know enough about the character to say much, but he was fun.

Overall, a good movie. I’ll wait and see how they do with the new DC verse.

[*End Spoilers*]

So, I actually changed a few of the stories I’m listening to. First is, like I mentioned last week, My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist. I’ll go over the more interesting one, two or three shots that I’ve gone through. I’m not going by chapter on this one, but the name of the chapter/s.

First is A Hero’s Wings, which has two chapters. It’s a crossover with Gundam Wing, where Izuku is Heero. Interesting and has a smarter Heero. The next interesting one-shot is Cheshire. In it, Shota (Eraserhead) has a kid from a one-night stand that acts like a cat. Not much to go on, but would have been interesting to see more. Then there’s Crystalized Hope, it’s a two-shot where fem. Izuku (Hikari) actually has ice powers, but accidentally killed a cat when they manifested and hid them because the cat’s owner wanted to jail the one who did it. She would have become an figure skater if All Might hadn’t given her his powers. Again, would have liked to see more.

After that there’s Do Bad Well, which is a two-shot crossover with Yu Yu Hakusho. Izuku is Yusuke and comes back in time. Atsuko is actually his aunt and he moved in with her and changed his name after Inko died. After the main story (at least I assume so, it doesn’t actually say), he ends up before his mom dies. He decides to change things for the better. Eclipsed Heroics is a two-shot that has fem. Izuku (Hikari again) starts a hero review website Eclipse. This is one of my favorite type of fics, where Izuku actually uses his hero notes. Ferrous is a two-shot Iron Man crossover. Izuku gets an internship at Stark Industries at a young age and moves to America. It turns out he’s Tony’s son and he takes over when Tony is captured. This changes things.

Flying Free is a two-shot crossover with Dragon Ball Z. Izuku is the result of a magic(?) flower that cause Goku and Inko to hook up some time before the end of Dragon Ball when he and Chichi get married. Izuku has dream where he meets and is trained by Bardock. This leads to him and Gine being brought back. This causes changes when Raditz shows up. The final one I’ll mention is the one three-shot I’ve gotten to, Queen of Chaos. Harley Quinn is reborn as fem. Izuku and lives a normal life until All Might shoots down her dream. Then she decides to change things her way, as a supervillain. She teams up with Dabi and Toga (even helping her). She even stops the League of Villains attack on UA and saves Todoroki’s mother. I wish there had been more of this.

I’ve gotten to volume 19 of Death March in Parallel World Rhapsody. There were quite a few changes. One, Satou still can’t chant as he never got that orb in the auction. Two, Satou isn’t from Hikaru’s (Mito’s) world, but a parallel one. So, she waiting for her Satou. Three, they never had to deal with ‘his majesty’ turning into a demon as he was never even mentioned. Four, Arisa has another brother who is alive and trying to retake their kingdom. He still had to deal with the ‘Evil’ God’s offshoots the same way, so that’s something. There’s more changes, but those are the biggest ones.

I’m on volume 5 of The Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter. The War has started and Iris has deal with that and other things in her territory. It’s the last one from her story. Finally, I’ve started Effects and Side Effects by Pheonix Dawn. It’s a Harry Potter AU that changes after the Department of Mysteries. Voldie wants his soul fragment back and sends a potion to Draco to give to Harry that will help with that. When it’s given to Harry, he fights back and destroys the fragment, but there are side effects. The most prominent being that he’s turned into a girl. Eight witches swear themselves into his services and accidentally end up married to him. This is their story. Sadly incomplete and was last updated in 2015.

Onto the quest, first is Another Little White Lie by rayrae118. This is a Star Trek AU from the most recent movies (2009). James T. Krik runs away at a young age to his aunt and uncle. This is his story as his genius gets him in and out of trouble. He even meets most of his crew early. This is the first of a set of stories and goes through the end of the first movie. The whole series is finished. I’ve actually talked about it before here.

Second is Another Path by DragonflyDream. It’s a Katekyo Hitman Reborn fic where things are very different. Tsuna has a twin who his mother treats better than him. This leads Tsuna to meet and befriend Hibari and Shoichi and early. They eventually have to flee when his twin tries to kill him. It’s very interesting, but sadly unfinished and hasn’t updated since 2022.

Third is Another Path by Selector. It’s a Worm fic, where Taylor gets another power. To be completely honest even glancing over this one I don’t remember much about it, which is something in and of itself. It has six chapters and I can’t even tell if it’s finished looking at the end of the last chapter.

Next is Another Soldier Reporting by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Harry Potter crossover. Lal Mirch is fem Harry and is sent back in time. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s incomplete and hasn’t been updated since 2019. After that is Another Way by ack1308. It’s a Worm AU where Marquis wasn’t captured and raised Amelia. I’ve also talked about it before here. It’s still updating but has 40 chapters so far.

Then is Answering the Call by Mirrond. It’s a My Hero Academia AU where Izuku is All for One’s son and wants to be a hero and manages to convince other villain’s kids to become heroes too. All for One decides if you can’t beat them, join them and blackmails Nezu into becoming vice principal and to make a new class for the villains’ kids. It’s definitely crack as All Might gets really weird. Incomplete, but unsure if continuing.

Finally is Appearances Can Be Deceiving by soulofdarkandlight. It’s another My Hero Academia UA, but not as cracky. After All Might offers Izuku his quirk, he goes home and finds his cousin. Said cousin doesn’t care if he’s quirkless or not and decides to do something about how he’s treated. It has 64 chapters, but sadly hasn’t updated since July 2023.

Got a few trainings and the massive company conference coming up, so it’ll be a busy week. Have a great week and… May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
