The End of the F’s

Hello, readers. It’s been a quiet week. We had the driving I mentioned, and I wish the extra early half hour I get there would be overtime. However, I get to leave early, so that’s something, I guess.

There are quite a few changes in the listening list, so I’ll get started on that. First, I finished The Saga of Tanya the Evil Vol 1 and decided to listen to She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 1 by Ryusen Hirotsugu. It’s a VRMMO isekai that has both a manga and an anime (1 season).  Mira was formerly a man who played an old man character named Danblf in the game Ark Earth Online. One night he bought a kit that allows character changes and created his perfect female avatar. However, he randomly fell asleep and woke up 30 years later in the game that has become real. With no way to prove he was Danblf (One of the Wise Men of their kingdom), she says she’s his pupil. Now she has to work together with her game friend (whose the king) to figure out why they’re in the game and find their friends. It’s interesting, as I’ve only previously read the manga.

Next I got to a point where I wanted to read the rest of Life’s a Pay to Win Game, so went through several smaller fics. First was Sight Unseen by sakurademonalchemist. This is Natsume’s Book of Friends, Gamer and KHR crossover I first mentioned here. ‘Takashi’ is really Natsume (Fem. Tsuna) who was taken from Nana when she didn’t react correctly when her daughter was beat up. She was shunted from relative to relative and eventually ran away (Stealing money from the hag who beat her up). However, this version is from the future and also gets the Gamer system. How will our triple power heroine handle her new life? It’s only got 10 chapters was last updated in 2018 and quite honestly, the author stuffed too many things on her.

Second was Elves by kb0. I mentioned this Harry Potter one-shot earlier in the quest, here. After the first chapter of the first book, the Potter’s elf spirits Harry away to raise herself. She finds the horcrux and other elves help her free him from it. They also get all the rest and destroy him without Dumbles knowing. Sirius is even released because of their actions.

Third was Firestorm by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a slight Harry Potter and Avatar: the Last Airbender crossover. Harry is reborn as Zuko and remembers after the fight with his father. With those memories, he leaves after being told that he has to find the Avatar. He spends his time as a glassmaker and finds a female airbender (not Fem. Aang). They travel together and change things. It’s worth a read and is still being updated.

Fourth and the current one is The Fire-eyed Princess also by sakurademonalchemist. This one is a Tsukihime and KHR crossover. Nana is really Arcuied who was had amnesia because of Zelretch. When she remembers, she’s more furious at Iemitsu but happy for her daughter, Tsukiyo. Watch as the ‘family’ makes many changes in the KHR world, including making Bel her storm. It’s a fun read, but was last updated in 2020 and has 7 chapters.

Finally, I also finished Obscured By Clouds and chose to read some more short fics. First was Messenger of Hope by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Naruto and Sonic crossover I first mentioned here. Nozomi is the fastest courier in the Elemental Counties, but in reality, she’s Naruko (Fem Naruto) who found the summoning contract for the Sonic characters. After she fails the academy the third time, she gives up on Konoha and decides to fully become Nozomi. After stealing Sasuke and Hinata, she works to expand her business. She even finds out Eggman is really her grandfather. It’s a fun little fic, but only has 7 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Second was Odyssey to the Orient by sbmcneil. It’s a fifth year Harry Potter short story that I first mentioned, here. Harry and Ginny accidentally grab a portkey while cleaning Grimmwald Place during the summer. They end up in a house in Asia and have to survive while figuring out where they are. The Order is trying to find them as well, so who will find the other first? It’s finished and a cute Harry/Ginny story.

Third and the current one is a favorite, The Accidental Bond by kb0. This is a Harry Potter AU I first mentioned here. It’s this is Harry/Multi with Hermione, Ginny and Gabrielle (Fleur’s sister). Harry has a special power that activates under certain circumstances (that I’m not revealing as it is secret for the first part of the fic) and bonds women to him. Watch as he bonds the girls and how they all get along. It’s complete and has 33 chapters.

Okay onto the quest (and I plan to finish the F’s today!); first is Fortunate Decision by jojor99. This is a Harry Potter one-shot set after the series. Harry and Ginny have been trying to get married, but one thing or another keeps moving the date. One day, they decide to elope to finally be married. This turns out to be a fortunate decision (lol) as they come the Burrow and find a situation that their wedding prevents. Read and find out what that is.

Second is Free Life by fake a smile. This one is the sequel to Taking Control that I previously mentioned here. Harry has run away after Dumbles found out his secret. Ginny soon joins him after being driven from the Burrow by the Order trying to find him. It had the makings of a good sequel, but currently only has 6 chapters and was last updated in 2011.

Third is From Fake Dreams by Third Fang. This one is another favorite. It’s a Fate series fic mostly focusing on the Fate/Stay Night and parallel stories that I first mentioned here. Kiritsugu Emiya dreams of his son going through the Fifth Holy Grail War and sees several different versions. Upon confirming that his son they’re possible futures by correcting how his son does magecraft, he decides to use the information to fix the future. Things spiral out of control and Shirou does as he does. It’s now at 81 chapters and was last updated at the end of last year.

Fourth is Fullmetal Flames by sakurademonalchemist. This is FMA and KHR crossover that I first mentioned here. Ed and Al are reborn as Tsuna and his younger brother. They escape being sealed and are trained by Fon. They’re not the only ones with memories, but who else does is a secret. Also, there are Yaoi pairing in this a implied lemons, don’t like don’t read. It has 12 chapters and was last updated in 2018.

Fifth is the first prequel to the actual next fic Harry Potter: The Lone Traveller by The Professional. This is a Harry Potter AU where things go wrong. He’s the only one left of his family and friends after finally ending the war. When he tries to go back in time to fix everything, he ends up traveling from world to world helping people. He eventually is put into Wizarding Lore as The Lone Traveler. This is incomplete, but others have continued it (though there is a spinoff of one of the stories that I’ll mention later), like the next one.

The next prequel is Stories of the Lone Traveler by dunuelos. This author continues Harry’s journey, though he expands the worlds he visits. It crosses over with Babylon 5, Naruto, David Eddings’ Belgariad (I’ve been meaning to find and read this, it sounds fun), Star Trek, The Destroyer series (started by Warrn Murphy and Richard Sapir), West Wing, The Big Bang Theory, JAG, NCIS, Joan of Arcadia, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and NYPD Blue. Things are always as they seem, so sometime characters you like are shown in a good light. It has several spin off that I’ll mention later that continue certain stories. It’s complete with 78 chapters.

It’s sequel and the actual next one is Further Adventures of a Lone Traveler by dunuelos. This one continues from the last one but starts with Harry able to visit the afterlife of his original world and see all his old friends. This one has more crossovers: Hogan’s Heroes and Stargate SG-1. It’s shorter with 33 chapters, but the last arc leads to a good conclusion that gives Harry a change in status.

The final F is Future Shock by megamatt09. It’s a Harry Potter, DCU, Smallville and Legion of Super Heroes crossover. If you’re wondering why there’s no link, it’s because it’s been taken off the website. I still have a copy, but that’s because I tend to get PDF of the stories I read for this purpose. Something goes wrong in HP and Harry puts himself in stasis. Years later, the Legion of Super Heroes investigate. It’s a normal megamatt fic with sex scenes, but it does have an interesting story.

Well, that’s it for this week. Now I’ve got to put the G’s on my list to find the links for them before the next post. I’ve also just found out that my sister-in-law’s grant was not renewed for her non-profit org, which I’m not happy about. Have a great week and as always (and now more than ever) – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

It’s a Travel Weekend

Hello, readers. Sorry this one is late. I’ve been traveling for the weekend and while I’ve had time to write; I wanted to relax for the first time in a while. I did get want I’d been trying to done on Tuesday. I’m now visiting with relatives for a week or so. I’ve also finished the complete storyline of the Pokémon: Legends Z-A DLC. I’m still working on getting all the Pokémon because of rerolling the gates and the special scan. I’ve also started getting the alphas for the DLC.

Onto what I’m listening to, I finished Usagi’s Struggles by Serena530 and decided to continue onto its sequel – Usagi’s Struggles: Revelations From the Future. It’s essentially Sailor Moon R in its continuity. In this one, everyone has their memories but that doesn’t mean there aren’t people with lost memory. The Dark Generals are back but with no memory. Also, because of their stronger connection, the bad guy twins have no way to get in between Usagi and Mamoru. It’s on going with 11 chapters and was recently updated.

I also finished Naruto: Rise of the West by azndrgn. I decided to continue with Ashs Just Reward by The Warmongers of Simora. It’s a Pokemon fic I’ve talked about before here. The Legendaries decide to reward Ash for helping them throughout the years. He’s in Alola and has no idea what is coming for him. Sadly still un-updated since 2017.

The final listening update is replacing Crushing on a Devil by TanJaded with Amor Enim Vult by BleedingBlade. It’s a Youjo Senki fic I’ve talked about before here. It’s a Tanya/Visha fic set after Tanya ends the war. It’s one of my favorite ones, but sadly it hasn’t been updated since 2022. Don’t be surprised if you see it again.

So, the first of the quest is Dauntless Dimensions by Night Raydes. It’s a Harry Potter crossover with multiple stories but the main one it says is Skulduggury Pleasant. Harry and Valkyrie are two paired gods that can travel the multiverse. They’ll eventually meet up. It was originally Burst Reality, but the author tended to rewrite and change their fics. I talked about it here when they were Myrddin le Fay. Ginny was his original other half.

The second is Dawn of Magic by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Yuna of the Dawn crossover I talked about before here. Fem Harry is reborn as Yuna. She escapes by herself and changes things. It has 8 chapters and sadly hasn’t updated since 2019.

The third is Dawn of the Valkyrie by QueenMilaAshdown. It’s a Harry Potter and Avengers crossover. Fem Harry is sent to Loki after he’s taken down in the first Avengers movie by Hela (not MCU one) and after she was put in a bad situation after the war. They fell in love and changed things in the MCU. However, things go wrong and she and Loki use Soul Magic to send her back in time, but she’s not the only one. Watch as they try and fix things. There are also some gay relationships, so don’t like, don’t read. It has 27 chapters and was surprisingly updated after a while early this year.

The fourth is Deadly Curse by seritha. It’s a Harry/Ginny fic set after third year. Harry is bitten by Remus during the time travel part and is now a werewolf. Ginny learns of it and becomes an animagus to help him. It’s complete and an interesting fic.

The fifth and last one is Dear kami, there’s two of them by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Naruto fic that I’ve talked about before here. It’s about Anko’s twin sister Mochi. She kidnaps several characters to help them. It’s unfinished and has 5 chapters, even though it has a semi-sequel.

That’s it for today. Have a Happy Holiday for whatever one you have and as always; May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
