Listening Changes and Life Update

Hello, readers! It’s been two weeks and I hope you’ve been having fun and keeping busy. I’ve been doing that with learning what I need to do for my new position! There’s a lot to learn and I’m glad everyone’s willing to help me learn it. In other news, it’s becoming more of a pain to look up the first time I’ve mentioned a fic, so I won’t be adding that link to the fanfic descriptions anymore.

I’m also still going through my Pokémon card collection. I’ve got all the extras out and now I’m going through them to see if there are any that people online are interested in. There’s still a lot of bulk, but some are worth a bit. I’ve also started scanning my dvd/blu-ray collection to make a cloud drive so the household can watch them without having to ask me for them and also not rent a movie when I have it because they don’t know/remember about it.

Though I haven’t had as much time to listen, it’s been two weeks and I was close to finishing a few fics so there’s more than what I thought had changed. This is what has changed; first is that I finished Now I’m a Demon Lord! Happily Ever After with Monster Girls in My Dungeon Vol 1 and moved onto Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Vol 2. In this one Mukouda continues to travel with his two familiars; Fel and Sui. He’s just arrived in a country and learns he has to re-register with the Adventure’s guild because he’s hasn’t been able to do a quest in a while because of traveling. He aims to slowly build up his rank before continuing on his journey, but will his familiars have something to say about that. Also, it seems more goddesses have learned about him and is this a new familiar? Read all about it in this volume.

I also finished that one and moved onto She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 5. In this one, Mira continues to look into clues about her missing comrades. She rides the incongruous train to follow the trail looking for Soul Howl. With new comrades and her summons will she get any closer to finding anyone? Find out in this volume.

I also finally finished A Young Girls War Between the Stars and decided to relisten to the DSR series by PixelWriter1, starting from the prequel stories. First is It All Started At The Museum. This one is a one-shot that tells the story of how the four OC magical girls in the main story got their powers and started to do magical girl work. Second is When Ranma Met Aiko (and Tamiko and Fumiko and Misaki). This one is another one-shot that like the title says, is about how Ranma met the four previously mentioned magical girls. This one is set a while before the end of Ranma ½.

Third is Aftermath. This one is a two-shot that tells what happened in the incident after the failed wedding at the end of Ranma ½ from both Kasumi and Ranma’s POVs. The last prequel story is The Fugitives. This directly follows the previous and shows the two how got away started hiding from the Narima Wrecking Crew and were able to live their own life.

Finally, I’m now onto the main fic, Desperately Seeking Ranma. This is a crossover between Ranma ½ and Sailor Moon, but SM is on the sidelines until the later chapters. However, the last arc has been dealing with them. It tells the story of Ranma and Kasumi as magical girls, but told from the POV of Nabuki. She eventually finds them and ends up getting sucked into their orbit (and become a magical girl too). It’s fun and a great fic with 98 chapters. Sadly, it hasn’t been updated since 2016, but the author likes to post that they’ll finish it. Their last post on their profile was in 2022 though.

While not finished, I momentarily paused Black Sky because there was a side story to read, Yesterday’s Tomorrow by Umei no Mai. This one tells of Tsuna’s experiences in the fake future; something he can tell immediately, because *spoiler* he’s not the tenth anymore as he lost the ring battles *spoiler*. He thinks of it more like a video game, and to be frank, it acts like it. This one is finished with 3 longer chapters. Now that it’s finished, it’s back to the main fic and the consequences of that happening, and Dorea and Xanxus are not happy.

Next we finally finished the Game On series that I’d already read. I finished Game On! 3.2 and moved onto Game on! 3.5. This is a one-shot that is the transition chapter between the 3.0 stories and 4.0. It shows how the world changes from Earth to the world of the Naruto world. Tuskiko is much diminished because of helping her people and the aftermath of the human’s war. This is interesting and shows how things are different and the same in this new Naruto world.

When I finished that one, I decided to relisten to Life’s a Pay to Win Game by UnholyExcaliber. If you don’t remember this one, it’s a crossover between Mobseka (Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs) and The Eminence in Shadow. The two worlds are merged and both MCs are born in their respective families. The author does a fantastic job of mixing both plots and making them make sense and interesting. It’s currently complete with 117 chapters, but the author essentially paused it because there’s not much more story for EiS and most likely will continue when either several volumes of it comes out or it finishes.

Next is more side stories for Stories of the Lone Traveler, but we’re actually almost to the end of this story in the list. The first one is Lone Traveler: Babylon 5 Universes. This one contains all the Babylon 5 crossovers from this ficlets, eventually separated because many people (like me) haven’t watched it and so don’t know much about the characters. It has 18 chapters and is listed as completed. I haven’t finished it because I’m focused on the chapters directly referenced in the main story at this time.

The second one is Lone Traveler: Initiative and is with a crossover world with both Buffy and West Wing in it. LT Harry appears when the military is messing around in Sunnydale. He goes to the president and is lucky because he happened to save Josh’s sister from the fire (that killed her in the main series) in the past. How will they handle it? It’s an interesting little story and is also complete with 8 chapters.

The third and the one I’m currently on, is Lone Traveler: The Greatest Minister in History. LT Harry shows up right after Fudge is elected and helps him to become a competent minister and deal with issues so Harry doesn’t have to. Thus, he becomes the title. It’s also complete with 17 chapters.

Skittering Campione was also completed and I chose to listen to Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies That Won’t Stop Bugging Me by Seerking. This one is archive of Worm AU first chapters and sometimes first arcs of stories that the author didn’t want to continue and left for others to use if they wanted to (and give them credit). It’s mostly Taylor getting other powers or where things went differently in the main story. There are many crossovers and I’ve talked about most of them before. This author still hasn’t posted at all since last year, but the last time this one was in 2024.

Lastly, I finished My Hero Academia: The Golden Light of Hamon and decided to add a recently finished fic and listen to it. The Finding by kb0 is Harry Potter fic where Harry and Ginny touch before he leaves on the train before first year and have a Greater Finding. This is in essence them finding the best person for them, there are also Lesser Findings (that Arthur and Molly have). This and Harry’s wandless magic that he’s been using for a while are the main first changes. He decides to live at the Burrow and learn magic with Ginny for his first year. There are many more changes in the 39 chapters of the story. It’s worth a read.

Now it’s time for the quest stories; first is Harry Potter and the Bonds of Blood by Darth Marrs. This is a darker soul bond story. Riddle tries to take Ginny’s soul before he’s destroyed but Harry saves her. However, things don’t go back the way they came and their bonded. This is not all good, as they are not automatically in love and clash. They have learn to live with each other and survive. This is complete with 52 chapters.

Second is Harry Potter and the Chance at a New Life by kossboss. This one is a crossover with Stargate: SG1. Harry combines with Riddle’s memories after the basalisk vemon destroys the Horcrux. This eventually leads him to decide to leave the wizarding world (after years of preparation) through the Veil, which is really their version of the Quantum Mirror. He comes out from Stargate’s Mirror long before SG1 finds it. He takes over Pelops when he tries to possess him. Watch as Harry takes over and makes his own kingdom to fight for the galaxy. It’s incomplete with 19 chapters and was last updated in 2024.

Third is the last fic in a series *Content Warning* There is sex, quite a bit, in all of these. As it’s set at the beginning of 5^th year quite a few of them are mid to late teens and adults with Harry. Don’t like, Don’t Read. *Content Warning* So the first one is Harry Potter and the Witch’s Secret by Selector. When Harry arrives at Grimwald Place, the unattached ladies can tell his magic is calling to them as he wasn’t taught to control it. So his magic calls to unattached ladies to help control it through the above-mentioned activity. This is very ridiculous, but it caught my attention when I was younger. It also has some early Underworld elements. It’s complete with 53 chapters

The second one and actual sixth fic for toda is Harry Potter and the Dark Lady. A Dark Lady wants Harry, but only for herself. She and her minions attack to bring him to her side. It’s complete with 36 chapters.

The third one (in both places) is Harry Potter and the Corvinus Strain. This one is the full crossover with the Underworld series. Harry and the girls help and interfere in said events to help get to the ending best for them. It’s also complete with 17 chapters.

The fourth is also the second in a series. The first one is Harry Potter and the Power of Emotion by Melindaleo. Harry is not okay after the end of his fifth year, but will he be able to accept the help he needs to heal? Ginny helps him and they get closer. A 6^th year fic where Harry learns his power is affected by the love of those around him. It’s complete with 37 chapters.

Its sequel is Harry Potter and the Curse of the Damned. Harry has to continue to grow in power while dealing with Vodlie. However, now Voldie knows the prophecy and is working to turn it in his favor. How will Harry end the war? And what is the Curse of the Damned? It’s complete with 33 chapters.

The fifth fic and last fic for today is Harry Potter and the Daft Morons by Sinyk. This is another favorite fics with a smart Harry. Harry uses the first task of the Triwizard tournament to reveal a lot of manipulations that he’s had to deal with. How does he know this? Because he is immune to mind magic and so when he’s been Obliviated, he remembers. Harry works to deal with the daft morons around him to get the wizarding world back on track. It’s a Harry/Hermione/Daphne/Fleur story. Sadly incomplete with 84 chapters and not updated since 2018.

That’s it for this week. It’s a bit longer than I thought with all the side stories in the listening list. Have a great two weeks and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

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.
