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!

A Sad End to a Week

Hello everyone!  This week was cooler, and I didn’t work as much, but it was also sad.  A co-worker I didn’t know that well passed out and was taken to a hospital yesterday.  We were informed this morning that she didn’t make it.  I don’t know the circumstances as my bosses didn’t know, but there were some emotional outbursts trying to get the company to change some things.  I can understand, but I didn’t feel comfortable with them using what happened to her to try and change things.  I know that people will be looking into how what happened, happened, but things done emotionally in this sort of situation, don’t usually end up going the way you want.

Moving on from that, I finished Harry Potter and the Mutant Academy and reread more of Desperately Seeking Ranma and started rereading Seerking’s Asylum.  The new chapters this week were: Relic of the Future, An Essence of Silver and Steel, Mending the Knots, The Unseen Hunt, Seerking’s Asylum, Compass of thy Soul, Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Service with a Smile, Short Story Drabbles (Tues & Fri), Trial by Fire (Tues & Fri), Cage, Price of Blood, History’s Strongest Disciple Again?, The Healing Touch, Heroes Assemble!, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, Titanfall, Taylor Varga, Ginny’s Plan, Under the Sea, Worm: More Than Meets The Eye, It Gets Worse & Harry Potter and the Chance at a New Life.

There was a Community Day for both Wizard’s Unite and Pokémon GO over the weekend.  The WU one was more of a having more of everything than more of one (although 9 ¾’s foundables were more common in my opinon) and the PoGo one was one mudkip (I got 4).  PoGo also introduced Team GO Rocket and Shadow Pokemon this week.  You can Purify them and make them stronger.

*Spoiler Warning*

So, I saw the new Lion King over the weekend and it wasn’t bad, but it was essentially an almost exact copy of the original, just in ‘live action’.  They changed some of the dialogue and some scenes slightly, but no much.  They made the ‘Be Prepared’ song more of a speech and had Nala leave for the Pride Lands before Simba had his revelation.

That wasn’t to say that I didn’t like it, but I didn’t feel that I really needed to spend the money to see it in theaters.  My biggest problem with it is that in the later scenes, I couldn’t always tell Nala and Sarabi apart.

*End Spoiler Warning*

So I decided to continue the Myrddin de Celestis quest this week.  Soul Armoury (and yes, that is how they spelled it) is a one-shot that I’m surprised wasn’t put in into Mystical Codex.  It’s a Harry Potter fic that has the Dursley’s dropping Harry at his grandparents soon after getting him and they go to Japan to get away Dumbles.  Not much here other than the info section has him at least getting together with the Greengrass sisters.

enLivened Player is a rewrite of at least the previously mentioned ‘Player.’ Sirius fakes his death and leaves a letter telling him (in double speak) and Harry decides to take control of his life (and do as many girls as he can).  He does become a vampire in this one.  There’s also a bit of DC Universe crossover at the end.

Cybertech: War of Evolution is a Marvel and Harry Potter crossover.  It has Harry abandoned with the Dursleys because of a prophecy saying he’ll reveal the Magical World.  He gets away from them and becomes a bigshot tech person.  He finds the Magical World and his twin sister while becoming a superhero and decides to reveal it.

Cybertech: Open Worlds is the sequel and has it and the DC universe merging over a few years.  It’s not finished, and I’m not sure it will be (but maybe because they also were not put in Mystical Codex).  Harry (or Kyle as he renamed himself) goes to the DC universe to help with the ‘convergence’ and helps his younger self from that universe.

Armoured Skill is supposed to be a rewrite of Cybertech stories, but earlier in the Marvel universe.  It’s not really very long and Open Worlds has been updated more recently than this one so… yeah.  Same premise, he just ends up with his ‘grandmother’ and goes against the Magical World because they ‘kill’ his girlfriend (he puts her on ice in the hopes he can revive her).

That’s all I’ll talk about today!  Hope you have a great week and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.
