Plays and Sleep Can Make You Late

Hello again, readers. I’m sorry this is late. As I write this on Sunday, I know this because I’m trying to get a better sleep cycle. I’ve been waking up during the night and not sleeping well again, so I decided to follow some suggestions that I looked up and leave screens off for around an hour before I go to sleep. As I usually write most of this right before bed, I need to start writing this earlier. I would have today, but I went and saw Back To The Future: The Musical and that took up a lot of my Sunday afternoon combined with travel time, dinner and food shopping.

My listening changes are as thus – first I finished Reborn as a Space Mercenary vol 14 and am now listening to Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! Vol 1By FUNA. This one is actually on the quest list but is under Mile because that’s the name the webnovel I original got it from had at the start of the title. I started it on Audible because this one just came out on it. It’s about a school genius who dies right after high school graduation saving a little girl. It turns out that girl will do something great in the future and God wants to reincarnate her with powers as a thank you. However, she’s already seen the bad side of having power and tells him she wants to be average in her new life. God grants her wish, but makes it so that she’s average compared to everything that lives on the new world. Watch as this ditsy girl does her best to life an average life (and fails).

I also finished Harry Potter and the Chance at a New Life and I decided to relisten to my one of my favorite fics, Black Sky by Umei no Mai. It’s the first fanfiction I mention on this Blog and I listen to it often. It’s a Harry Potter and KHR crossover with a female Harry who’s actually Sirius’ daughter. It follows her as she goes through her life at Hogwarts and onto meeting and interacting with the KHR characters starting in her fifth year. It currently has 343 chapters and was sadly last updated in 2024. Looking forward to it being updated at some point.

And now, onto the quest: first is Flames of the Black Cat by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR and Black Cat crossover that I first mentioned here. It has Train (the MC of Black Cat) reborn as a female Tsuna. She quickly figures out that things would be bad if she stays at her house, so she becomes a hitman. She affects the Vongola without really trying and finds some fellow reincarnates. It has 12 chapters and was last updated in 2018.

Second is Flames of the Creed by sakurademonalchemist. This one is a KHR and Assassin’s Creed crossover that I first mentioned here. Tsuna is from an Assassin bloodline but is sealed due to a Templar plot. Assassins find him, release the seal and train him. Now that he’s been tagged to be the 10th boss of the Vongola, he has to get rid of the rot of the Templars infecting their investigative branch. It’s 9 chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2018.

Third is Flames of the Night Sky by sakurademonalchemist. This one is a KHR and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover that I first mentioned here. Tsuna’s mom dies and they can’t contact his dad. So, he is adopted by the Takamichis and grows up with Nanoha. He gets caught up in the events of Lyrical Nanoha and gets his own device. They also run into Xansus and his crew. It’s an interesting 12 chapters but it also has not been updated since 2018.

Fourth is Float With Me – 1st Semester by FifthDancer. This is a MHA fic where Izuku gets a different power first from One-For-All. Instead of Stockpile and its energy, he gets Nana’s quirk, Float. This changes things quite a bit. It’s a Izuku/Ochaco fic, but with many other ships. This one is complete and goes through the Finals of the first semester.

Fifth and final is the first sequel to the previous fic (and the only one I’ll mention as the rest weren’t available when I started this quest) Float With Me: TWO HEROES by FifthDancer. This is this stories version of the first movie – Two Heroes. Izuku and the gang go to I-Island, what could go wrong. This is complete and has two sequels (though the 2nd one hasn’t been updated in a while).

I hope everyone has a great week and that I get better sleep. I’m hoping to have this week’s post out on time. 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!

App Issues Can Cause You To Be Late!

Hello, friends. Sorry this is late, I got caught up in something and yesterday I was working on posting the second chapter of my fic, Theurgy Thru Replevy. As a reminder, it’s on both ff.net and ao3. My friend and I had a good time while he was here and I’m going to visit him later in the year.

The main reason I didn’t post this weekend was that Friday before last, my text to speech app kept crashing when I opened it. I tried several things but had to delete and reinstall it. Sadly, it didn’t want to load the library saved in my cloud storage, so I’ve had to reload everything in there. I’m currently in the middle of the S section now.

Luckly, I still have my old phone with the folders that I can use as a basis as I hadn’t added many new stories to it. I did something that managed to get some of the old files on it, but I decided to rearrange and update them if I had to redo it anyway. Instead of the fics having a file for each chapter, I made sure I had all the current ones in one file using Fichub. I also put all the completed stories into a completed stories file by starting letter and putting the ones that start with ‘A’, ‘An’ or ‘The’ in order of the second word. Finally, I’m putting all the stories from a series in the same folder.

That being said, my reading list is currently shot, but I’m slowly getting back into it. The main one I’ll talk about is that I finished The Eminence in Shadow Vol 2 and moved onto Baccano! V3. This one tells the rest of the story from the previous book, starting from the beginning and filling in the holes left over. Follow the Alchemist, the Woman in Coveralls and the Rail Tracer (!) as they bring the story of the ‘Flying Pussyfoot’ to a close.

I’ll have a longer quest list to make up for it. First is Fate: Hammer Time by TedTheRabbit. This is a Fate/Stay Night and MCU slight crossover I’ve mentioned before here. MCU Thor at the end of his life sends Mjölnir to find its new wielder with all of his powers. Middle school Shirou ends up with it (though other potentials from other anime are mentioned in a way to imply they’ll get their own powers from the MCU and become kind of like the new Avengers. But not in this fic and later in the future) and he runs with it. Watch as Asgardian Shirou does his best to become the best Hero he can! It has 68 chapters and was last updated in Feb.

Second is Fate Extra: Grand Glorious Games (GGG) by SeerKing. This is a ‘Fate/Stay Night’ fic, but it’s more a semi sequel to Fate/Extra and Fate/Extra: CCC. The master, Saber Nero and Caster Tamamo have to fight in the Third Moon Cell Holy Grail War. Things are different, but it doesn’t get far. This one only has three chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2018.

Third is Fate’s Gamble by Lupine Horror. It’s a Harry Potter and Type Moon crossover that I first mentioned here. Zelretch does an experiment that ends up affecting many Harry Potters, and not always for the better. However, one ends up with Stheno and Euryale, Medusa’s sisters, in Zelretch’s universe at a young age. He becomes the Wizard Marshal’s grandson and changes his and many others’ fate. It’s completed with 88 chapters and has a sequel.

Fourth is the sequel, Fate’s Gamble Round Two by Lupine Horror. Harry’s done a lot and is asked to take the place of another counterpart that wasn’t able to fulfil the prophecy. He’s summoned with some friends, but those that summoned him aren’t getting what they expected. He decides to have fun and make some changes, for both good and bad. It’s complete, but the author wants to rewrite the whole series. Sadly, they haven’t posted anything since 2020.

Fifth is Fate’s Mistake by kb0. This is a Harry Potter 3-shot where Fate changes things the night he’s dropped off at the Dursley’s house. Things are worse for Harry until he ends up a Hogwarts, but this leads to better things happening after that. I’m not going to spoil it, but it is a Harry/Ginny story. Completed and worth a read.

Sixth is Naruto Emiya by sakurademonalchemist. The next one is actually the sequel, so this one’s first. It’s a Naruto and Fate series crossover that I’ve talked about during the last quest here. A five-year-old Naruto is found by Kiritsugu Emiya and taken in and raised with Illya. He changes many things, including how the fifth grail war goes.

Seventh is Fate/Confusion, the sequel. Naruto drags all the survivors of the fifth grail war into an alternate fourth war. It’s odd but only has three chapter and hasn’t updated since 2014.

Eighth is Fated Bonds by sakurademonalchemist. This another Naruto and Fate/Stay Night crossover, but the other direction. I’ve mentioned this one before as well, here. Archer ends up in Konoha and training Naruto and Sasuke. It has 9 chapters and was last updated in 2017.

Ninth and last is Fiery Rebirth by sakurademonalchemist. This one is a Harry Potter and KHR crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Mukuro has a secret that he reveals when he’s possessed in the Esterneo arc. He can burn like a phoenix and then grow up. However, this reveals he’s not who he thought he was and must go to a certain magic school to get his inheritance (with everyone). It has 10 chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2018.

That’s all for this week and I hope to be on time next week and be able to tell you that I’ve got my text to speech up again. I hope things are great for you 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!

PoGo Tour Kalos! and Other Info

Hello everyone! As I said, this is late because I went to the Pokémon Go Tour at the Rose Bowl Stadium and the fact I’ve had things going on during the week so far that have made it so I didn’t have time to post until now. I’ll talk about that in a second, but I wanted to let everyone know that I’m taking a break from posting for a week to update the archive links. I don’t know how long ago I last caught up on the links, so I’m going to make sure they’re caught up through this post. I’ll probably also make a list of the stories from the current quest. Maybe one for my favorite fanfics/books/anime and one for what I’m listening to as well. Basically, my next post will probably be on the 8th of March.

I also made a promise to my anime group that I’d post the first chapter of my fanfic this month, so I’ll probably post that on the 28th. Its name is Theurgy Thru Replevy and my handle on fanfiction.net is TheReader2011 and on AO3 is TheReader2017. As a reminder, it’s a Cardcaptor Sakura and My Hero Academia crossover. Basically, Izuku becomes the new Cardcaptor, but it brings most if not all of the characters from Cardcaptor Sakura into the MHA world, eventually (and maybe not all in this first ‘book’). I’m going to work on the description, and I want one of my alpha(?) readers to give me a little feedback back at least on the first chapter. However, my first choice isn’t doing it, and my other four are busy themselves. I hope one of the two I’ll see on Saturday will at least give me some about the first few chapters. I’ll be looking for an actual Beta reader when I post it.

Anyway, onto the Go Tour, I got 16ish new shinnies including Xerneas, 2 Furfrou, 2 of the 4 Hat Pikachus (one gender for each hat) and some Unowns. I walked a lot and my legs are finally almost back to normal. I didn’t really interact with anyone, but that was fine. I’ll have another chance at getting more this weekend with the Global version. I got back on Monday night and was tired, so I didn’t work on this. Tuesday, I had to work on my church’s website because even though I’ve handed the upkeep to others, they didn’t know how to do something, so it fell to me. Yesterday I had another event and so it falls to today.

Work’s been fine, I’m by myself for today and tomorrow and of course this is when it gets busy. I’m not looking forward to when my supervisor gets back on Monday because he set something up right before he left on vacation and didn’t explain it very well. We asked his supervisor (and the one who’s in charge of us while he’s gone) if she knew what he wanted with it. She took off the notices he put on our desks because she didn’t feel he should set something up, not explain it, then go on vacation. However, he and I get in before she does and I’m not looking forward to having to explain why they’re not there if she hasn’t notified him beforehand.

So, my listening schedule was messed up for a little while because of the Go Tour. My text to speech app takes a lot of power and I only brought one battery pack with me (because that’s all we were supposedly allowed). I used an old phone, but it didn’t have some of the newer ones I put on the app (like the EiS and Mobuseka crossover I mentioned recently). So I just listened to Hogwarts- An Escalation by Temporal Knight. This on is a Harry Potter and Worm crossover. A slightly AU Taylor is transported to the Greengrass’ manor during a confrontation with Bakuda (who also comes along and is killed). After she figures out she’s not in Kansas anymore, she agrees to be the Greengrass sister’s bodyguard at Hogwarts. How will 5th year HP deal with the Queen of Escalation? Read and find out, slightly, as it only has 17 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2023.

I only had two changes I had in my actual schedule last week, the first was that I finished with Solidarity Among Students, Class 1-A Edition by Jetstream and had a quick listen to Weasley Brothers’ Enterprises by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a short four-chapter story where Harry asks first year, why don’t the Weasley siblings do more to earn money if they need it. He gives them suggestions and they run with it. It’s complete and a fun little story. I didn’t start the new story after that until this week, so I’ll wait until the next post to announce the replacement.

The second was that I finished Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs vol 1and decided to listen to (you guessed it) The Eminence in Shadow Vol 1 by Daisuke Aizawa. Listening to the light novel gives me a bit more insight into characters (especially the Seven Shades). The first volume goes through the school invasion arc, so there’s a lot to work through. Cid, or Shadow, is basically the same, just maybe a little more straightforward (like actually asking Gamma for money, but taking more than the grabbed even though he offered him a lot more).

Onto the quest, first is Enough by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter fic I first mentioned here. Harry has been hiding his real skills from everyone as he knows that Dumbles and his supposed friends aren’t looking out for him. He takes him NEWTS right after he passes his OWLS and escapes from England. Voldie is still defeated, but not by Harry. It’s a fun little completed 8-chapter story.

Second is Equus by sakurademonalchemist. This is a KHR and Harry Potter crossover I’ve mentioned before here. Fem Harry (Harmony) escapes from England after her 5th year and lives in Italy as a horse rancher. However, this leads her to meet and eventually marry Dino Cavallone. Everything is great, until England comes knocking. It’s an interesting fic with 17 chapters, but is, of course, incomplete and hasn’t updated since 2017.

Third is Erazerhead – The Unknown Hero by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown). This one is a MHA fic where Izuku finds a piece of Eraserhead’s capture weapon and accidentally becomes a vigilante. However, no one knows except him, as they all think he’s the real one. It has 7 chapters and is still being updated every once in a while. The author has also indicated that it will only have 15 chapters.

Third is Escape From the Hokage’s Hat by anothvortex. It’s another Missing Hokage Naruto fic where he’s kicked out after bring back Sasuke that I’ve mentioned before here. In this one, Shizune, Tsunade and Hinata join him. They end up many different places and it currently ends up with the Hidden Village of the Star arc. It’s a good read and has 42 chapters, however it was last updated in 2012.

Fourth is Eternal Sands by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Harry Potter and Aladdin crossover. Fem Harry (Acacia) finds Jafar’s lamp and releases him. They get along well and end up together (the author tells Aladdin from Jafar’s perspective with more world building). There’s more to it, but more importantly, this one is actually finished with 11 chapters.

Fifth and finally is Even the Wizards Must Pay Their Due by Gamma Cavy. This is Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist crossover. The Harry Potter world is ‘Outside’ and Ed and Al are sent to investigate. Dumbles tries to control Ed and he snaps the Deathstick and steals young Harry. When the wizards eventually get to the FMA world, the main battle is done and they’ll learn, as the title says. It’s complete with 16 chapters.

Okay, remember, I’m not going to have a post this week, but look out for changes. Also, be on the lookout for my fanfic! Happy Pokémon Day tomorrow! 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!

A Busy Week

Hello, readers! It’s been another week and things are mostly the same. I did get an interview date for the job next week. Based on previous experience, I don’t think I’ll hear back until closer to the end up for the month about the job, but here’s hoping! I did a lot of driving on Friday and it tired me out. I haven’t done much reading for the quest this week because of starting to study Spanish. Because of that I don’t think I’ll be able to finish the last S this month, but I need to do this, so it is what it is. Because of previously mentioned stuff, I also haven’t really had a chance to try and find Alpha ? Unown.

I also finally posted the first chapter of my fic on a My Hero Academia discord to get feedback and edits yesterday. Sadly, no-one has looked it over yet, so we’ll see how it goes.

So, my listening changes this week are – I finished In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 5 and started Reborn as a Space Mercenary vol 13 as it finally came out on Audible!  This one’s always fun and I like getting back to it once in a while. Captain Hiro is back and he’s planning to head back to his second stop to officially add Doctor Shoko to his crew, however first, he has to deal with a giant space monster being unsealed. And even when he gets there, someone is waiting with a grudge. Listen to the latest book of Hiro’s misadventures!

I also got to a point I didn’t remember in A Hero Rises by Zabeck and so I switched to the compilation fic My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist. I’ve talked about it recently here, though the posts after that one have more information on specific stories in it.

That’s it, so it’s time for the quest – first is Displacement by cloud_nine_and_three_quarters. This is an MHA story set at some point after they leave UA and Izuku still has One-For-All. Izuku is thought to have been killed two years ago and Bakugo is still chasing the villain that did it. However, things are not as they seem and he wasn’t killed, just displaced, in time. This is great fic and is even completed, worth a read.

Second is Distance Learning for Fun and Profit by mp3.1415player. This is a Worm AU where Taylor is very smart without powers and manages to make a machine that can pick up what she assumes is alien learning programs. She uses them to learn how to make things that aren’t tinker tech and confuses the world. There’s no Emma conflict in this one as she’s been in a coma since the attack. Sadly incomplete, but I hope it gets finished eventually.

Third is actually a omake of the previous story – Distress Calls Can Go a Long Way by mp3.1415player. It’s a Mass Effect crossover where Tali’Zorah is stranded in a dead ship and manages to make a weird gravity machine to help bring her help. However, it gets the attention of Taylor and she makes contact. Tali’Zorah and her people are in for some interesting times. Also incomplete, but at a good stopping point.

Fourth is Do I Have a Purpose Anymore? by Kingkakashi. This is a Naruto fic with a bit of Bleach crossover. After having all three of his girlfriends be stolen from him by their teammates, Naruto has enough. He leaves the village to find his purpose, however people just won’t let him be for one reason or another. Also he finds out that swords have souls, what’s that about? This is a heart-wrenching story that is complete! Also, don’t read if you like Kiba, that’s all I’ll say.

Fifth is Do You Even Lift? By TanJaded. This one is Youjo Senki two-shot about Tanya/Visha. Visha finds out about Tanya’s muscles when she walks in on Tanya winning a competition in the gym. This leads to her mouth getting ahead of her and blurting out a suggestion. Tanya takes that as a challenge and that’s history. A fun little fic.

Sixth and final is Dodging Prison and Stealing Witches – Revenge is Best Served Raw by LeadVonE . This is a wrong Boy-Who-Lived Harry Potter time travel fic that I’ve talked about before here. Harry is sent to Azkaban at the end of his second year for supposedly killing Ginny (his brother’s [John] girlfriend). He stays there for many years until after Voldemort takes over. He’s accidentally sent through the Veil of Death and Death and Fate show up. It turns out this is the second time through and last time they sent John back even though he wasn’t the Boy-Who-Lived. This time they send him back even farther. The catch? The John that was sent back will be there too eventually. He decides to get the good witches first while working the political landscape to his liking. However, this doesn’t mean things won’t go wrong. This is a very interesting fic with 69 chapters; however it hasn’t been updated since late 2024.

That’s it for this week. I hope everyone has a safe week and I’ll see you at the end of it. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

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 Blade 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 by Calanor. 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.

Happy Late Christmas

Hello, readers! Sorry this is late, with traveling it’s been a bit hectic. I hope you all had a great holiday, whatever one you celebrate. Mine was fine, but weird because I didn’t open anything on Christmas Day. This was because I did most last week (because we didn’t want to bring presents for ourselves with us) and because we opened with the extended family the night before because of extended family drama (that’s not mine, so I’m not going to post it here). I even opened some on Saturday because some of the family didn’t get in until after Christmas. Had some family health issues, but it’s not bad and is being worked through. I also reached my reading goal for the end of the year Saturday and reached the Th’s on my list.

The only change in my listening was that I finished By The Grace of the Gods Vol 6 and am now listening to That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol 3. Rimuru has to deal with the aftermath of the Orc Lord and his new kingdom. However, new allies and foes including some of the demon lords are starting to have an interest in his new kingdom. How will he deal with it? This will probably be the last book I listen to for this one as it is on the list and I’m rapidly getting to it, so will probably just read the rest of the ones that are out.

Just because it was the only one I finished doesn’t mean I haven’t been listening to a lot, just that the others are longer and they’re not finished yet (at least one is very close though). I actually listened to a lot while I was playing Pokémon: Legends Z-A as I had a lot of free time during the week. I’m still 2 Pokémon away from completing the DLC Pokédex (1 special scan legendary and trading a Feebas), but I’ve made good progress on completing the DLC Alpha Pokédex as well (including the regional variants [not including the Hisuian ones as I already have them]).

Onto the quest; first is Death March Part 1- 17. This is the web novel version. I’ve only read through Part 17 as that’s when the main story ends, but I’ll read Part 18 sometime after I finish the list. The main change early between this and the light novels on is that Nana is the only one of her sisters that survive. More changes are there, but I’ve talked about that on earlier posts. Huh, I just found out that there’s even more than on this website that I’ll have to look into later as it ends on 18-39 and I figured there were more and found them. There’s even a what if chapter 19 apparently.

Second is Deku, I think he’s some pro… by Clouds (myheadinthecoudnotcomingdown). It’s a My Hero Academia fic that I mentioned recently on my listening to list here. A quick reminder: Izuku doesn’t get a quirk from All Might and decides to send hero analyses to underground heroes, and they help him become a hero.

Third is Demon Dragon Rider by Leaf Ranger. This one is weird crossover between the Inheritance Cycle series by Chistopher Paolini and Naruto. Eragon finds a Naruto who is thought to be dead during the training trip after an Oto-nin attacks. He trains him as a Rider and Naruto hides his identity. Hinata becomes an ice princess and meets him. Eventual Naru/Hina that’s actually finished.

Fourth is Demon Skylark by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR and Naruto crossover that I’ve talked about before here. Kyouya is reborn as Naruto and changes things a lot. He eventually meets Fem Gaara when he runs away. It’s not very long with 8 chapters and it hasn’t been updated since 2019.

Fifth is Demonic Jewels by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR AU that I’ve talked about before here. Fem. Tsuna (Honoka) is attending an academy for summoners and is assigned to be Hibari’s roommate. Watch as she tries to be the best summoner she can. It has 15 chapters and sadly hasn’t been updated since 2018.

Sixth and last is Desperate by Epeefencer. This is a Harry Potter one-shot set in the summer after fourth year. Arthur Weasley sees Harry’s despair when he visits him because his children are worried about him (they’re not at Sirius’ house). He realizes that he needs to get him out and works to do that. It’s an eventual Harry/Ginny story and worth a read.

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year and you follow your resolutions if you make them. I’m still working on it and how far I hope to get in this quest. I haven’t calculated if I think I can finish it yet. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Finally the End of the C’s!

Hello everyone! It’s been a quiet week for, but I expect the coming week to be busier. I’ve mostly gotten an Alpha dex in Pokémon Legends Z-A. All that’s left is the fossils and the some of the one that need to be traded to evolve. I don’t have anyone I trust to trade them back afterwards, so they’ll just need to wait. The fossils will be a long slog of turning the game on and off until I get an Alpha (or a shiny, if I find one).

So, as I finished Yet again, with a little extra help by Third Fang last week, I’ll talk about its replacement(s). First was Shifting Foxes by sakurademonalchemist that I’ve talked about before here. It’s a Pokémon and Naruto crossover set in the Naruto world. Sometime after the time of the games/show/manga a world changing event happened and Pokémon disappeared for a few decades. Now only ninja can get Pokémon. Naruto finds an Eevee that has been experimented on to be able to change into all of its evolutions except the first three. He names it Shifter and it’s his main partner. He has many adventures over the 41 short chapter, including going into the far past. However, it has been updated since 2015.

I actually finished that one as well and am now on Nozomi of the Sand also by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Naruto crossover I’ve mentioned before here. Fem Harry (Nozomi or Hope) goes to Suna with her ‘family’ after second year and befriends the Gaara and Temari. See the way things were going after third year, she escapes to Suna and becomes a civilian contractor. Watch as she changes things including the Konoha Chunin Exams. It has 15 chapters and was last updated in 2012.

I actually also finished what I had for Broken Dreams by ThunderReborn. However, I haven’t need its replacement yet, so will talk about it next week.

Onto the quest; the first one is Crushing on a Devil by  TanJaded. It’s a Youjo Senki fic with Tanya/Visha. The war has ended and they are living in the capital training. After admitting to her fellow commanders that she likes Tanya, they decide to help Visha get together with her. Que amusing antics to try and get the Tanya to realize that she likes Visha. However, they also have to deal with the nobles also trying to get Tanya to marry one of them. It’s a fun 25 chapters, however it hasn’t been updated since 2023. The author has been posting other fics, so maybe they’ll eventually finish this one?

Second is Cuban Pete by Platinumsabr. This is an amusing Avengers one-shot with The Mask influences. During the first Avengers movie, instead of allowing himself to be captured in Germany, Loki decides to do a Cuban Pete scene from The Mask. It’s very funny and worth a read.

Third is  Cure to Evil by Mirrond. This is My Hero Academia fic that is a bit different than normal. Izuku is All For One’s son (and has his quirk) with Inko (who’s really a retired villain herself). He’s in charge of the League of Villains and wants to use it to change Hero Society for the better. Starting with killing the OC third ranked hero who almost killed Inko while she was home during a villain fight (not with her). It’s finished and a great read with 62 chapters. Shigaraki even gets a girl!

Fourth and the last C is Cutting Moon, Eclipsed Moon by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Bleach and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover that I’ve talked about before here. Ichigo goes to Uminari and finds a book device and meets up with the TSA.  This changes things when he meets Rukia and becomes a Shinigami. It only has 4 chapters and was last updated in 2012.

That’s all I’ll mention this week, as I need to get links for the D’s now. Next Sunday, I have a singing recital. This shouldn’t affect my post next week, but if I’m late, that’s probably why. Have a great week and as always; May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
