I Kept My Promise … Don’t Keep Your Distance (or I Posted Again!)

So, like the title says, I actually managed to write another post when I wanted to. Yay! As I start this post on Thursday, I am wearing my shirt with the KH quote like I said I would. Matt, you say, that’s great, but what’s happened for you this week?

At work, my supervisor is still being a pain. Yesterday, it was more so, enough so I talked with my previously mentioned supervisor’s supervisor today. My supervisor is off for today and tomorrow, but that isn’t really why I decided to talk to her. What made up my mind was my church’s service yesterday. The readings were pointing me that way, but the 2nd hymn had the words “Oft to every man and nation, Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side”. There was more to it, but I decided that for myself and the others who had to work under him, I needed to say something.

Did I go into the meeting and lambast him? No, if I had gone in wishing evil to him in my heart, I might have, but that’s not who I am and not how it went. I brought it to her that he was doing too many things and is stressed and it’s affecting his work relationships. I said that while I am going to talk to him on Monday when he gets back, I wanted her to know so she can also support him in fixing the causes of the stress. We talked for a good hour or so about what’s been going on from my point of view and some things I was told by a co-worker (with her permission). I didn’t accuse, I didn’t blame, I wanted to help.

She listened and let me know some of the things I had mentioned were things that they (the two of them) had talked about in their meetings (the concepts and background, like micromanaging). I will talk to him on Monday (not that I’m looking forward to it), so that’s something I’ll talk about next post. So, look forward to it or not, we’ll see what happens. (Friday was very busy, but more relaxed without him around.)

Matt, if you were so annoyed as demonstrated by last weeks post, why did you go this route? Because my choice in church was to do this in as loving a way as possible. Pragmatically, being calm and logical to a potentially angry outburst make you look better because people are most likely so side with you, correct? Me going into that meeting or the one on Monday being accusing and blaming, will get me nowhere except causing issues. So, I’m going to get my slightly frayed control over my anger back under it and be cool and calm.

Also, I asked about the courses and she had talked to the department director about it, but they wanted more information about why those courses (which was in the original email about this subject). I understand, they’re very busy and an email from month’s ago, wouldn’t be their top remembrance priority. I won’t get a Spanish course, but they’ll buy me a Spanish learning CD set. Which, to be completely honest, I already have one or two.

That might work better for one of my co-workers they did the same for as they’re constantly on the road to sites so can repeat and respond. However apparently, even if I got an actual online course, I would have to do it outside of work time. One of the reasons I wanted to have a course was to take up some of the down time I have a work, so this is better than nothing, I guess.

On to what I’m listening to, honestly, it’s mostly the same list from last time because all of them are longer listens. I’m currently on Black Sky by Umei no Mai. It was the first fanfiction I talked about on the blog. It’s currently at 343 chapters, but the author hasn’t posted since last October. Still a really good fic. Yesterday’s Tomorrow is finished, so I continued back to this one to finish my rereading (which I have now the next day, now I need a new one to replace it in the rotation).

The next change is that I’m on the 15th volume of Death March in a Parallel World Rhapsody. It’s mostly still following the web novel’s story with a few new elements along the way. I finished the 11th volume of Reborn as a Space Mercenary and my new Audible story is the 10th volume of Reincarnated as a Sword by Yuu Tanaka (also the last of the series currently available on Audible [except it’s not now, lol. The 11th volume just became available!]). I don’t think I’ve talked it yet on here, but it’s a classic isekai story where a guy dies and is reincarnated in another world. This time however, he just wakes up as a sword in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, he can view the world around him and psychically move. He eventually ends up being wielded by a Black Cat beast girl named Fran. She names him Teacher and wants to become the first Black Cat in history to evolve. It’s their story and it’s fun. There are 16 volumes out in print so plenty to read!

Finally, I forgot to mention a series I’m listening to in the rotation, My Hero School Adventure is All Wrong as Expected by storybookknight. It’s a My Hero Academia crossover with My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong, As I Expected. My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected (by Wataru Watari) is a slice of life story about Hikigaya Hachiman. He’s a loner high schooler that is a cynic about ‘youth’. He writes an essay about how it’s an illusion and degrading it, so his teacher forces him to join the Service Club. Watch as he’s forced to help students with their issues while dealing with the caustic President Yukino Yukinoshita. It’s amusing, but I don’t think I’ve read more than the first book.

In the fanfic, to prove other’s wrong and to show up the girl he confessed to (and was turned down), Hikigaya applies to UA hero school. Despite an alarming essay about heroics, caused by dealing with pain from a damaged leg (from when he saved a dog from being run over before the test), and only really helping people to copy their quirks, he gets in. Follow this cynic as he and his new friends (including many more characters from the original story) change the My Hero plot.

Moving on to my current quest, I’m planning on at least finishing all the that start with A then a space. It’s gonna be a long one. The first of these is A Family Duty by sbmcneil. It’s a short Harry/Ginny fic set after the war. Molly’s side of the family, the Prewetts had a mandate from royalty based on a prophesy that they have to keep from going the wrong way. After the war, the sign that prophesy’s time is approaching happens and Molly and those of her family more inclined to Prewett magic have to work to stop the worst from happening. Naturally, one of those is Ginny and Harry is allowed by the words of the prophesy to help. It’s a cute little story.

Second is A Family of Rogues by sakurademonalchemist. Surprisingly, I haven’t talked about it before, but it wasn’t posted until 2020 and I wasn’t posting then. It’s a crossover between Katekyo Hitman Reborn and DC comics (mostly Batman, but small mentions of the Justice League). In it, Harley and Ivy take out some yakuza and find a young fem. Tsuna is there being held hostage against her father (who has no idea she’s missing). The Gotham Rogues take care of her and she even gives them the idea to call out the fact that the evidence found by the Batman can’t be used as he’s not deputized and wondering why he’s allowing Robin out so late on school nights and in a revealing outfit. It’s amusing and I wish it had more, but I think that about most of their fics.

Next is A Friend Indeed by kb0. It’s another cute Harry/Ginny short story. I’ve talked about it before here, but it’s still a fun story I come back to every once in a while. Then there’s A Godfather’s Love by sbmcneil. It’s a sad little Harry Potter one shot. The big change is that Sirius never escapes Azkaban and Voldemort attacks it in Harry’s sixth year. Sirius is tortured and killed while Harry watches having never learned of him. This causes him to confront Dumbledore about it and change how he’s going about preparing for the battle against Vodlie. It’s of course Harry/Ginny and worth a read.

After that is A Growing Affection by Xavon Wrentaile. I’ve talked about it here, but it’s a longer Naruto story that’s Naruto/Hinata. A Hero is Built by Kyodon follows that. It’s a My Hero Academia story. It’s a story where Izuku never got OFA and is grown up and head of a tech and support company. He and Ochaco are married (she’s not a hero either as she didn’t get into the hero course as there wasn’t a Midoriya to help) and he’s kidnapped by the Shie Hassaikai. There he meets Eri and like Tony Stark, creates an armor to help get himself out. This is his story of how he becomes a hero despite his quirklessness. It’s unfortunately incomplete and has been since 2021, but there’s still 17 chapters to enjoy.

Then there’s A Hero Rises by Zabeck. It’s another My Hero Academia fic, but this one is a lot longer and is still updating (even if I’m personally a bit behind). [*Also a warning, this has explicit sex scenes, don’t read if you’re underage or aren’t interested*] Izuku’s and All Might’s first meeting goes slightly differently and it changes how All Might goes about things. It manages to set things up for Izuku to save Himiko and they eventually start going out. However, don’t think this is just a Izuku/Himiko story. No, it’s’ a Izuku/Himiko/All 1-A girls harem. It has a more morally flexable Izuku that has a more involved relationship with Tomura. It’s worth a read if you’re okay with the mentioned scenes and some, ah, kinks, that are mentioned in the tags.

Following that is, A Hunter’s Heroics by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a My Hero Academia and Hunter x Hunter crossover (that was also posted in 2020). Gon is Fem. Izuku’s (Ichigo) maternal cousin and Inko moves them to Whale Island after she sees how Ichigo is starting to be treated after being diagnosed quirkless. Ichigo follows Gon to the hunter exam and the story changes. It’s only 7 chapters and of course incomplete, but a fun fic none the less.

A Kernel of Truth by mp3.1415player is the next one. It’s a Worm fanfic set when Taylor is young. Like all of mp3.14’s fics, it’s very funny. Annette’s ancestry is very strange and that’s caused odd things to happen around Taylor. Like the monster under the bed being real and named Bob and her beating up the closet monster for not being quiet so she can go to sleep. It digresses from there. Very funny, unfortunately not complete and hasn’t updated since 2022.

Then there’s A Memorable Christmas by SailorLeia. It’s a Sailor Moon fic set during Sailor Moon R. It’s a Serena/Darien fic set during Christmas. Darien hasn’t remembered that he’s Tuxedo Mask and Usagi and the others are doing their best to remind him and get the two together. However, twins Ann and Alan won’t make it easy. It’s fun and complete!

To follow is A New Beginning by Breanie. It’s the sequel to A Different Beginning and it follows Harry and the others through their seventh year and beyond. It’s a Harry/Ginny story and worth reading. Then, A New Hero by Platinumsabr. It’s a Rosario + Vampire and slight Ben 10 crossover. I mainly read this because of one of their other fics that I’ve talked about on here before, Here in My Arms. This is only one chapter, but more were expected. The author hasn’t posted anything since 2017.

After that is A New Journey by Texas Longhorn. It’s a Pokémon fic where Ash wins at the Sinnoh tournament and becomes the Champion. Then, he’s offered the chance to become the Pokémon Master. However, before he can face the current one for the title, he has to catch all the Pokémon from the four regions. Misty joins him on his journey and their relationship evolves. It’s an interesting fic and is still updating.

Then A New Life by Serena530 follows. It’s a Harry Potter and Sailor Moon crossover. It starts off on a sad note as Ginny dies as well in the final battle. In the aftermath, Harry learns that he isn’t really the son of James and Lily. It turns out he’s really Japanese and his current looks are because of a disguise spell Dumbles put on him. After falling out with Ron and Hermione, he decides to take up his real name and go to Japan to learn about his real culture. So Mamoru Chiba goes to Japan and meets a certain dango-haired young girl. It’s interesting, but incomplete. It was last updated in February.

Next is what I call the A Not So Story trilogy. First is A Not So Story – Sirius Catches Up by Captain Compass. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot parody. Sirius escapes, but things are very different. Including singing gondolas, Snape in MLP pajamas and all you can eat haggis. It’s amusing.

Second is A Not So Story – The Fourth Champion by Captain Compass. It’s a Harry Potter short story parody about what would happen if Harry had declared Tom Riddle as his substitute. Silliness ensues. Third and finally is A Not So Story x The Graveyard by Captain Compass. Another one-shot parody where Harry and Cedric play rock, paper scissors to decide who will take the cup and they keep on tying. ‘Moody’ is sent to fix the issues and there is a very different outcome.

After that is A Place in My Dreams by SeerKing. It’s a Sword Art Online and Campione crossover. Set after the Campione story is over, Kirito defeats Kayaba Akihiko like he does in the series. However, the battle has a second stage as Kayaba is backed by a god. In slaying him, Kirito becomes a Campione. This is about how he discovers his powers and deals with the Japanese magic association. It’s still being updated, but irregularly as it’s not on SeerKing’s scheduled updates, not that he’s updated in a month and half.

A Protector’s Pride by NeoRyu777, which I’ve talked about before here, is next. It’s a Bleach fic where Ichigo deals with his inner hollow before the Vizards come to him. They decide to battle every two weeks and whoever wins is in control until the next battle. It’s finished, but the author didn’t end up writing the sequel he wanted to. The outline for it is on the last chapter and he should be publishing his first book this year.

Followed by A Push in the Right Direction by sbmcneil. It’s a cute little Harry/Ginny one-shot. Harry has trouble being romantic because of his past, but Ginny helps him figure it out. Worth a read. Then there’s, A Rain Cloud in a Stormy Sky by AmberPaladin. It’s a Harry Potter and Katekyo Hitman Reborn crossover. Fem. Harry, Ivy-Rose, runs away after her fourth year. She ends up working for the Varia after Xanxus is frozen. Then, she accidentally becomes the Cloud officer. It’s 17 chapters but hasn’t been updated since 2021.

Getting closer to the end there’s, A Ripple in the Pattern by Liam G. It’s a Bleach and Wheel of Time crossover. Ichigo is sent by the Reio to the world of Wheel of Time to fix one of his oldest mistakes. He’s sent to the White Tower around the time Ewgene and company arrive. Things change from there. The author has stopped writing since 2023 and if they come back will rewrite them.

One I’ve mentioned before during this authors quest, A Second Chance by sakurademonalchemist. Here is where I first talked about it. It’s a Harry Potter and Rosario + Vampire crossover. Harry decides to go to Youkai Academy before 5th year. It’s only three chapters and hasn’t updated since 2013.

A My Hero Academia one-shot is next, A Secret Torch by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown). A reporter finds out about One for All and Izuku has to deal with the fallout. It’s interesting. A Harry Potter short story follows, A Set Up Gone Wrong by jojor99. In it Harry didn’t go to Hogwarts and meets Ginny when she’s tricked into going to a Ministry dinner. It’s fun, complete and has 12 chapters.

Then there’s a Star Wars time travel story called A Sith’s Second Chance by VFSNAKE. After he dies, Vader wakes up on Naboo at the beginning of Episode 1. He decides to change things for the better. It’s an great story, but not for those who are Obi-Wan fans.

Next is a prequel to the actual next story Throw a Chair Through a Window and Call It a Day by jaded_ghoster. It’s a My Hero Academia story where Aizawa is put in charge of UA for a week. He makes Izuku his secretary and chaos ensues. It’s sequel, A Slight Emotional Manipulation of Peers by jaded_ghoster, is after Aizawa is now the vice-principial and more chaos happens. It’s 5 chapters and was updated last month.

Then there’s a Harry Potter three-shot, A Smarter Hunt by kb0. Harry decides to finish the war in a different way. He goes to hire the goblins to find the Horcruxes and hunt the Death Eaters. It goes well.

The next is a set of stories in the same Harry Potter world. While only the first one is one in the original list, the other two stories were in the same folder so I did them together. First is A Sovereign Summer by DukeBrymin. Harry goes to the Burrow at the beginning of book 6 and finds himself falling in love with Ginny. Second, Like a Queen by DukeBrymin (and the original story) Harry tells Ginny he would ‘treat her like a queen’ when she goes to meet Dean on the train going to Hogwarts in the 6th book. She has to decide who she’ll go out with. The third and final one is, A Princely Sum by DukeBrymin. It’s Christmas of the 6th book and the twins decide to help their sister’s boyfriend with a problem he has. It’s very funny and they’re all worth a read.

The next I’ve talked about before here. It’s A Tale of Two Swords by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter, Fate series and Hobbit crossover. Fem Harry pulls out Caliburn instead of the Sword of Gryffindor and things change. It’s incomplete (of course) and hasn’t been updated since 2018.

The next one is in the middle of a series I’ve already talked out. It’s the Honestly Harry Series by Captain Compass. The first one is, Honestly Harry – Getting to Hogwarts. I’ve talked about it before here. Hagrid takes Harry to Hogwarts instead of staying the night at the shack. Things change a lot and as a warning has underage messing around being pushed by magic. For the parts we’re talking about it’s a Harry/Ginny/Hermione story. Second is Honestly Harry – Year of the Rock. I talked about it before, here. It follows the first year of the three and the interesting things that happen. Third is Honestly Harry – The Founder’s Chambers. I talk about this one and the next one here. It tells the second year of the three. The actual one on the list happens in the middle of this fic during Christmas. It’s called A Very Granger Christmas by Captain Compass. [*It’s rated M for a reason, don’t like, don’t read*] Something has happened to Ginny, so she doesn’t remember them. So, Harry and Hermione go to her house for Christmas.

Next is another series, this one is A Very Special Series by Epeefencer. They’re all Harry Potter one-shots. The first one is, A Very Special Christmas by Epeefencer. At ten, Harry wishes for a happy Christmas and ends up at the Weasleys. Afterwards, Harry goes back to the Dursleys when he to sleep. Second is A Very Special Birthday by Epeefencer. Harry and Ginny wish to see each other on his birthday and he ends up there again. Third is A Very Special Birthday II – Ginny’s Birthday by Epeefencer. Harry ends up there again for Ginny’s birthday. But, something is different. Fourth is A Very Special Day: The Day After Ginny’s Birthday by Epeefencer. Harry actually stays the night after Ginny’s birthday and this is the aftermath. Fifth is A Very Special Day: Going to Hogwarts by Epeefencer. It tells the story of Harry going to Hogwarts without Ginny. Or is he? Finally is A Very Special Day: Attending Hogwarts by Epeefencer. It tells the story of Harry and Ginny’s first day at Hogwarts. They’re a fun set of stories.

The final story for today is A Young Girl’s Delinquency Record by Gremlin Jack. It’s a Youjo Senki fanfic. Tanya doesn’t get the stand down order and she and the other’s stop the Francois from evacuating. However, Tanya blows up the Type 95 and destroys part of a city. She’s arrested and eventually tried by several countries for war crimes. She escapes and has to make her own way in the world. Eventually, Visha finds her way back to her and several other members of the 203rd follow. Watch as they change the world. It’s a long time to get there, but it’s a Tanya/Visha story. It has 37 chapters and was last updated in 2023.

Okay, so like I said I’m looking forward to the new Pokémon game in October. However, the new Digimon Game, Time Stranger, comes out earlier in October. I’m a fan of Digimon too and am looking forward to it!

I’ll keep you guys (and gals) updated on the work situation, and maybe even talk about manga or anime next time. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Sorry, I’m Late Again

Sorry, I’ll explain in Thursday’s part of the post.

Tuesday

The first thing I read today was another new fic by TexasBean called ‘Harry Potter and The Immortals.’ It’s a Harry Potter and Baccano! crossover fic. Baccano! is a light novel/anime about several groups of people who became immortal at different points in time. The anime jumps around the timeline every episode, so if you’re not a fan of non-linear stories it may not be for you (although it’s a lot less than Homestuck). The books are better focusing on one time period at a time. There are a least sixteen books (in Japan at least) out now and the newest one has been delayed twice because the author hasn’t been feeling well.

The story has McGonagall meeting the main group after the anime finished (1933ish) and meeting up with them several times after that. When Dumbledore has to get a DADA teacher for Harry’s fifth year or get Umbridge, she suggests one of them. Watch the craziness unfold when the Baccano! crew is brought in! The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11173154/1/Harry-Potter-and-The-Immortals.

The second new fic for me was ‘Harry Potter and the Stargate’ by Sinyk. When I was rereading more chapters of Harry Potter and the Daft Morons, I went to the author’s stories page and found it. It is (as shown in the title) a Harry Potter and Stargate crossover. It has Harry going through the Veil of Death instead of Sirius and learning it is a Stargate and that he is the only one to have made it through the trip. Watch and see what happens (Stargate and Harry Potter in the same universe, not universe traveling). The link to the fanfic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13052799/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Stargate.

Then I read a few one-shots by senawario. The first one is ‘There’s more than one binding in that contract,’ which has Hermione helping Harry to get a copy of the rules of the Triwizard Tournament. This changes a lot. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12725660/1/There-s-more-than-one-binding-in-that-contract. Second was ‘Percy Helps’ which has Hermione tricking Percy into sending Aurors to Harry’s detentions to catch Umbridge. This also changes a lot. The link to this fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12711318/1/Percy-helps.

I also read another one-shot by Temporal Knight called ‘Hedwig Slightly Unhinged.’ This one has Hedwig wanting to help her master and gets him in a marriage contract before he even gets to Hogwarts. She then does her best to help him on his adventures. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12603861/1/Hedwig-Slightly-Unhinged.

Lastly there were new chapters for Queen of the Seas, Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies That Won’t Stop Bugging Me and Rising Dragon, Hidden Hammers. That’s it for today see you on the next day line

Wednesday

To start off, I read the weekly new story update from Seerking. The fic is called ‘Swordsaint’ and is a Sword Art Online story. It has an OC programmer joining SAO and her presence changes things greatly. It’s currently 16 chapters long and I enjoy reading it. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10973863/1/Swordsaint. The other chapter updates were for: Queen of the Seas, Heroes Assemble!, A Worthless Quirk, Harry Potter and the Stargate and Rising Dragon, Hidden Hammers.

I started reading ‘The Potter Coven’ by flowerchild33. It’s a fic about Hermione getting together with Harry after the tournament and learning the only way get rid of the horcrux is to make a coven.

R Rated Content

This fic has sex/smut, if your underage or don’t like female/female sex this one is not for you. There are also sex rituals so, like I’ve said before, don’t like, don’t read.

R Rated Content

(haven’t used that in a while). The link to this fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12563401/1/The-Potter-Coven. Moving on, I reread the fic ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Freedom’ by sakurademonalchemist. It’s 42 chapters long (so far) and is a Harry Potter and KHR crossover. After the future incident, the arcabaleno (starting with Skull) wake up in their younger bodies. Skull wakes up as a young boy in a cupboard in a life he tried to get away from. Skull changes many things and tries to help his fellow arcabaleno even if they don’t know who he is. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12741308/1/Cloudy-with-a-Chance-of-Freedom.

I also watched 8 episodes of the Baccano! anime. Nothing else for today, see you when I post tomorrow.

Thursday

Sorry this is a day late everyone! I fell asleep early and forgot to write and post. So, on Thursday I finished The Potter Coven. There were chapter updates for: Cambion, ‘Harry Potter, Lone Traveler, God and Wizard,’ Queen of the Seas, Ripples and Rising Dragon, Hidden Hammers.

I found an author I liked (kb0) posted a one-shot called ‘Starting Over.’ It’s a Harry Potter fic set in his first year where Harry doesn’t like how things are in Hogwarts and decides to leave. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13089071/1/Starting-Over. I remember that I reread another one-shot sometime this week called ‘Harry’s Happy Cursing’ by White Angel of Auralon. It has Harry activating a curse that causes people to suffer for as much as they’ve ruined other people’s lives.

I also read the last chapter of Darker Than Black – Heaven’s Gate. It was okay, a fun little fic, but not much else. I would suggest it, but not if you haven’t watched the series.

Other than that, I got to episode 13 (the end before the 3 specials) of Baccano! and read more of Harry Potter and the Daft Morons. Nothing much else on Thursday. I’ll get the Monday post up on time!

New Story in a Series!

Friday

Today I didn’t read much because of the previously mentioned interview. It took up most of the morning (mostly getting there and back). I thought it went well, but I I’ll find out when I hear back from them if I got the job.

I finished off The Dark Phoenix of Konoha and read the update of Mauling Snarks. Other than that there was an update for another fic I’ve read ‘The Goblet of Fire’s Trap’ by kopakanuvafan20. It’s a crossover between Harry Potter and Negima! Magister Negi Magi.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi (hereafter just called Negima) is about 9 year old Negi Springfield who just graduated from a magic school in Wales and is given his assignment to prove he can be a Magister (The highest rank of mage). This assignment is to teach English at a Japanese All-Girls Middle school. Oh, and he can’t reveal that he has magic or he’ll be turned into an ermine (if you don’t know what that is, just look it up). When he’s a younger teacher to a class of 31 curious young girls, that’s not gonna be easy.

So it’s been a while since I read this one and I’m not going to lie, the writing style is not that great and the story kinda jumps around. Essentially, Harry learn how to become a phoenix animagus after the Chamber of Secrets, goes to learn how to be a Jedi (for like a few paragraphs) then ends up going to Mahora (the school in Negima) and metamorphs into a girl (Roselyn Evans) and goes to school there until he is pulled to England for the Triwizard Tournament. I’m not that interested in it anymore because of the writing style. You can read it, but as I’ve already warned you, be prepared to not like it much.   The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9196393/1/The-Goblet-of-Fire-s-Trap.

That’s it for today, see you tomorrow!

Saturday

I read and watched a few new stories today so be prepared! The first was a story by White Angel of Auralon called ‘Enough’. It’s a Harry Potter story where Harry knows that Dumbledore and his ‘friends’ don’t have his best interests at heart and trains himself to take his NEWTs right after his OWLs. He deviates from the story by going to a summer camp after fourth year (and Dudley and his gang get kissed because Harry’s not there). There are more changes, but this is first major change to what happens. It has 4 chapters and was just started on the 1st of this month. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13052816/1/Enough.

I also read a two-part story by the same author called ‘Bolt Fashion’. In it Harry is more practical and works to gain more money from before he goes to Hogwarts. He decides to start his own Fashion line and does so his fifth year. Voldie and his minions get taken out by almost accident. Here is the link to the story – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11692854/1/Bolt-Fashion.

I reread Petrification Proliferation, read more of Honestly Harry – The Year of the Rock and read the new chapters of An Essence of Sliver and Steel, Relic of the Future and How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave Me My Quirk.

The next fic I reread is called ‘Aura Shinobi’ by guardsmansparky. It’s a Naruto and Pokemon crossover where Arceus saves Naruto when he tries to Summon without a contract at a young age. He sends Naruto back, but sends Lucario to train him and makes a Pokemon summoning contract for him. Sadly this author hasn’t updated any of his stories since 2015, but you never know they might come back. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9635635/1/Aura-Shinobi.

The next is a Sailor Moon story called ‘Unexpected Restart’ by Serena530. It has Serena (Usagi’s name in the english dub) wishing to restart from when she meet Darien after he dies/is captured (she doesn’t know) after the rest of her team doesn’t really care what happened to him. Her Silver Crystal grants her wish and she changes how everything happens to make it better. I like it and I’ve read other stories by this author that are good, so I recommend it. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12668566/1/Unexpected-Restart.

The last new story I read today is called ‘Underneath the Underneath’ by FlamexFullmetal.   It’s a Naruto story with a nice Kyuubi who helps him become stronger. It’s okay, I stopped reading about halfway through for now and I’ll finish it later. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7904046/1/Underneath-the-Underneath.

The last thing I did today was watch the first 3 episodes of the new anime called “Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria” or “The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar” in English. It’s a story about Yuto Suoh who takes a phone photo of himself in front of a ancient mirror that transports him to a different time where he becomes the leader of a warrior society. He wants to go back, if only to see his childhood friend that he can communicate with on his phone if he’s near his version of the mirror. This is his story.

Lastly, Umei no Mei updated Pick up the Pieces and Move On to say that starting Monday and until Friday she will post a chapter to the sequel to it (and the last on in the series) once a day. I’m looking forward to it! It’ll be on the Monday post I assume!

No more for today, see on the flip side (meaning right below this).

Sunday

Today I started rereading Ripples, I got to chapter 50, but that’s not all I read today. I read the new chapters of The Unseen Hunt and Stand Together and Smile. I also read some chapters for stories I haven’t mentioned yet.

The first is called ‘SAO: The Eroge’ by SaintInfernalNeos. It’s a Sword Art Online fic where Kirito gets the power of an eroge protagonist a little before the SAO incident. This means that girls fall in love with him and he can raise their interest points toward him. This causes massive changes this in the SAO universe. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12887197/1/SAO-The-Eroge.

The other update was from ‘Naberius Heir’ by Liam G. This author writes good stories, but none of them have finished. This one is the longest at 24 chapters (the chapters are fairly long though). This one is a Bleach and High School DxD crossover. It has Ichigo having his memories suppressed to save him from the council after the Winter War because his last linage wakes up (hint he’s from devil decent). His Great-Grandfather takes him in and has Rias (pre-story) take care of him. No one from Bleach really knows where he is, though they want to know. See how things turn out. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10023720/1/Naberius-Heir.

Other than that I watched some Youtube videos explaining some of the things that went into Homestuck. Like it being an origin story. I can post the links to them if anyone is actually interested.

Nothing else today, I’m looking forward to the new Pick up the Pieces story!

Monday

Well, first I finished off Ripples. I also read the new chapters for SeerKing’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies that Won’t Stop Bugging Me, Mauling Snarks and I, Panacea. I read the other only Fairy Tail that the real narina has ‘Dreams of Dragons’. It has Acnologia helping Mavis found Fairy Tail (though things still happen with Zeref) and staying on to help it along. Her OC from Ripples is in it, but with different circumstances. It’s pretty good. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12739742/1/Dreams-of-Dragons.

The only other story I read was the one I was looking forward to, ‘Pick up the Pieces and Rebuild’ by Umei no Mei. It’s a good start where Xanxus starts setting things up leave the failing Vongola behind while saving what he can. Really looking forward to the rest of the chapters coming out this week! The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13080563/1/Pick-up-the-Pieces-and-Rebuild.

Seeing as I have not read anything else, I’ll talk about “Fruits Basket.” It’s a manga by Natsuki Takaya about a girl named Tohru Honda. She’s a high school student who attempts to live in a tent after her mother dies. She is found out and ends up living with a few members of the Sohma family, only to learn that they and several other of their family members are cursed (it’s a reoccurring one in the family) to turn into the animals of the Zodiac and the cat. This happens when they are weak or a member of the opposite sex hugs them. Follow her as she meets all of them and tries to help them while learning about herself and even falling in love.

They made an anime for it and while it starts off okay; they just kind of have a tacked on ending for it. I would love to have a reboot of it (like Fullmetal Alchemist), I don’t think it will happen. I hope you look it up!

Thanks for reading and I’ll post again on Thursday!

A Normal Three Days

Tuesday

Today I spent a lot of time with Coeur Al’Aran’s fanfictions. I fully reread a previously mentioned fic, ‘Relic of the Future’ because I hadn’t been keeping up with the story and wanted to catch up. I also read the first chapter of their new story ‘The Unseen Hunt’. It’s a RWBY story set in the real world that deals with the supernatural. Like most of their fics it’s based around Jaune. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13073342/1/The-Unseen-Hunt.

I also started reading another of their fics I haven’t read before, ‘Not this time, Fate.’ It’s finished and deals with a Jaune that is tired of the repeat that happens every time he dies during the attack on Vale. He tries to not go to Beacon, but it seems Fate won’t let him not go. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11822902/1/Not-this-time-Fate.

I read a few more chapters of Honestly Harry – Getting to Hogwarts and read new chapters for Warlock, GATE: Thus the Chosen One Fought There and The Healing Touch. I also got an update for a fic I haven’t mentioned yet.

It’s called ‘Ripples’ by the real narnia. This is a sort of self-insert into the “Fairy Tail” universe. Fairy Tail is a manga/anime that is set in a world where magic is a normal part of life. It follows the story of the magic guild called Fairy Tail and their adventures. The main characters are Lucy (who can summon spirits, including ones based off the Zodiac), Natsu (whose a dragon slayer and is trying to find his the dragon who raised him), Happy (a talking blue cat with wings), Erza (a mage who equips swords and armor) and Gray (an Ice mage who can’t keep his cloths on).

In Ripples, the self-insert Ella, is sent to the Fairy Tail world after dying. She is young and has a new type of magic. She joins up long before most of the characters do and does her best to change things for the better. But her changes cause ripples (ah, see what she did there) and many things change, both good and bad. I really liked this fic and am glad it is continuing. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12477008/1/Ripples.

I only got a one grass type for my Celebi quest today, now I’m up to two. That’s it for today, gonna go crash. See ya’ll tomorrow.

Wednesday

As usual, I’ll start off with Seerking’s updated story that I mentioned last post, Uzumaki Naruko: To the Victor, the Spoils V2. It starts off after the Mizuki graduation incident and has a female Naruto – Naruko (which is often the name of his female transformed shadow clones if they’re around long enough). She has lived a similar, but different life and it shows in her friends and actions. See how these changes affect things. It’s version two because the first version was taken off because of the mature scenes. Said scenes are now on another website. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10723816/1/Uzumaki-Naruko-To-the-Victor-the-Spoils-V2.

I finished off Not this time, Fate and read more of Honestly Harry – Getting to Hogwarts. There were also new chapters for GATE: Thus The Chosen One Fought There (it’s been updating daily for the last week or so) and Heroes Assemble!

There were also updates from two stories I haven’t mentioned yet. The first fic I read is called ‘A Worthless Quirk’ by TitaniumDragon22. It has Izuku getting his mother’s quirk of attraction of small objects. He uses this to try and become a great hero. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12469438/1/A-Worthless-Quirk.

The second fic is called ‘Worm: More Than Meets the Eye’ by Zero-metallix. It’s a Worm and Transformers crossover. The actual Transformers aren’t really in it, but they do make their own power ‘shard’ and Taylor triggers with it making her able to create at least the smaller transformers. Many things change and it makes it a completely different story. It is now on it’s 108th chapter. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10788803/1/Worm-More-Than-Meets-The-Eye.

I also started rereading a fic called ‘Dark Phoenix of Konoha’ by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Naruto story that has Naruto hiding his abilities until he graduates. He’s still hiding more of his abilities, but goes under a disguise he calls Dark Phoenix to protect himself. It has a realistic way of helping both Sasuke and Sakura get through their issues and make them better ninja. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8508200/1/Dark-Phoenix-of-Konoha.

Other than that, I got a few psychic and grass types today bring my total up to 8! Only 32 more to complete the task. See you when I post this tomorrow!

Thursday

Figure I would say this first, I got a call to come in for a job interview tomorrow! Wish me luck! I also bought my ticket for the new Pokemon movie coming to theaters in the US in late November/early December. It’s called The Power of Us and I’m looking forward to it!

Moving on to the things I’ve read, I finished Honestly Harry – Getting to Hogwarts and have moved onto the second fic in the series, ‘Honestly Harry – The Year of the Rock.’ It tells the story of the first year at Hogwarts for Harry, Ginny, Hermione and their friends and family. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7093608/1/Honestly-Harry-The-Year-of-the-Rock.

The new story I read today is called ‘OverGamer’ by SaintInfernalNeos. It is a crossover between Sword Art Online and the Overlord games. To be honest, I don’t know much about the games. The story has Kazuto running away after he learns he’s adopted and accidentally learning he’s the descendent of the Overlord and is forced to train to become one himself. Watch out for Overlord Kirito.  It’s amusing, but currently only 5 chapters. Hope it gets more. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12714273/1/OverGamer.

I looked through a few of Fanfiction.net’s Homestuck fics, but nothing popped out at me. The only update for a story was of course, GATE: Thus the Chosen One Fought There.

I caught a few more grass types and have raised the count up to 11 and 29 more to go. Sorry this is so short, have to leave early to get to the interview tomorrow. See you on Monday!

A Walking Weekend

Friday

Today, I had more time and thus read a lot more, mostly Homestuck. I got to page 2378. Almost all of the trolls have been introduced, but they’re kinda really out there. It’s going through their ‘origins’ and many of the trolls are messed up (in the head mostly, but also a lot physically especially from each other). Yeah, might take a break from this one for a little bit.

I’ve been actually rereading the story From Fake Dreams that I’ve mentioned before. I’m able to reread many stories faster because I copy the text of a chapter onto a text to speech app called Voice Dream. It keeps the chapter copy so I can search for it if I want to listen to it again. I know some people don’t like the ‘computerized’ voice, but I have one with a British accent and I like it!

I read new chapters from both Taylor Varga (Yay!) and Mauling Snarks. Other than that I read the three newest chapters of the Korean manga called, “The Gamer”. It’s about a boy named Han Jee-Han who gains the power to treat life like a video game. He can level up, get items, learn skills from books, quests, and many more similar things. This leads him into the Abyss, the underworld of those with magic and other abilities. Watch as he learns to hone his skills (including the dish washing one) and make his own way in the Abyss. It has 239 chapters so far.

Wow no links today. Guess we’ll see about tomorrow.

Saturday

Today was a lazy day mostly, because it was very rainy. I don’t live on the east coast, but to all those that are (Especially in the Carolinas) stay safe! I mostly reread (listened to) From Fake Dreams, though I did go out and walk a little to hatch some eggs in PoGo to get those regionals (none today, I hatched to ones that I got before the event).

I rewatched the a few of Pokemon shorts called “Pokemon Generations” that animates some of the scenes from the game (including short side stories that you didn’t know). To name some are: Blue’s run through the Pokemon League before you from the Red and Blue games and life throughout the games in the eyes of a Pikachu. Other than that I got a new chapter of An Essence of Silver and Steel and one I haven’t mentioned before, ‘Stand Together and Smile’ by KnightEstoc. It’s a Sword Art Online fanfic that has the main characters Asuna and Kirito (Kazuto) meeting and becoming friends as kids IRL before the main storyline. See how things change (Including Kirito getting a harem). The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12894463/1/Stand-Together-and-Smile.

In absence of more things I’ve read today, I figured I just mention how diverse anime and manga are.   I mean you have the sci-fi and magical ones, but I’m just talking about in terms of ones about sports. They have ones for the ‘main’ sports: Football (Soccer to those of us from America. Because we just can’t have the same name for things that the rest of the world does. I mean take the way we tell time for example, Americans call the 24 hour clock ‘Military time’, when to the rest of the world it’s just normal time) represented by “Whistle”, America Football represented by “Eyeshield 21”, Tennis represented by “The Prince of Tennis”, Baseball represented by “Cross Game”, Boxing represented by “Hajime no Ippo”, and volleyball represented by “Haikyu!!” (Keep in mind these are just one example of each, there are more especially Baseball and Football).   However there are some for other, more obscure sports: Table Tennis represented by “Ping Pong” (Yes, that’s the name of the manga), Swimming represented by “Free!”, and Badminton by “Smash!” to name a few. Feel free to look these up!

That’s it for today! Thanks for listening to my rant!

Sunday

Today I also walked some more to hatch regional eggs (And 10km for Celebi quests), but the only regional I hatched was a Tauros. I did finish the first eevee 10km quest and evolved it into a shiny umbreon at night for the next set (just one more 10km!). I reread (listened) to more of From Fake Dreams and am almost finished, just another ten chapters or so to get to where it currently is at 52 chapters.

I finished up Pokemon Generations, but that’s it. I’ll talk about Doctor Who today. For those who don’t know, Doctor Who is a British show that started in the 1960’s about a Time Lord named The Doctor who traveled space and time with his companions. When he dies, he is reincarnated into a different body. The series went on for a few decades and made it through 8 regenerations before it stopped for a while. It was rebooted in the 2000’s and started on the 9th (really 10th) regeneration. I started watching a few years after the reboot, but they’re already on the 13th (really 14th) Doctor, who is now a woman. (The ‘9th’ doctor is called the War Doctor and is only in the movie ‘The Day of the Doctor”). Look it up, but you won’t find all the original episodes because some have been lost to time (lol).

See you tomorrow! See below!

Monday

I finished From Fake Dreams and started rereading a fic called ‘Ginny Returns’ by kb0. It’s a Harry Potter story about a future Ginny who only has a paralyzed Hermione left, who goes back in time to save her husband (Harry), family, friends, and the wizarding world. Kbo is a good writer and although not all of their fics are Harry/Ginny (a few are though), I still like most of them. The link to the fic is –https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4740107/1/Ginny-Returns and the link to the author’s page is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1251524/kb0.

I did read some new fanfictions today though! The first one is called “Persephone” by sunflowerb. It’s a How to Train Your Dragon Fic. (if you don’t know what it is, look it up. There are two movies currently and a third one coming out soonish). In this one, Hiccup is thought dead by Toothless after Astrid follows him. Then a Dragon Rider shows up and can ‘control’ the raiding dragons (he’s really trying to stop destruction). They give Astrid (now 20) up to him as a bride to make him stop the raids. It’s not a happy fic and deals with abandonment and alcoholism, but it’s a good story all the same. And it’s finished, there might be a sequel later. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10740714/1/Persephone.

The second story I read is called ‘Origin Story’ by Worldmaker. It’s a crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer/DC/Marvel. It has a copy of Xander in Power Girl’s body being made in the Marvel verse (Where things are very wrong) after the Halloween body switching spell. He has to get used to being in a female body with super powers, while on the run for next to nothing by the Marvel heroes & Villains. Check it out at -https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9801437/1/Origin-Story .

For those who don’t know Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it’s about a girl named Buffy who becomes the Slayer (the one who slays demons and vampires) and her friends as they battle vampires and demons while trying to live their lives. I would suggest it, even if it’s a bit old.

Other than that, I’ve started to try The Alchemist Code phone app, but am holding judgment and read the new chapter of Mauling Snarks. I walked again for eggs and km in PoGo and got halfway for the 10km and got a FarFetch’d (which I already had from the event last year. I need a Kangaskhan and a Mr. Mime).

That’s it for the weekend! See you on Thursday!

On the Correct Day!

Saturday

This should be on the correct day (Monday). Today I mostly read fanfictions I’ve already mentioned on here: Ichigo Awakens, Child of the Storm, and select chapters of Soul Chess. That doesn’t mean, I didn’t read or watch anything else. I read a new chapter for the fanfiction ‘An Essence of Silver and Steel” by James D. Fawkes. It’s a crossover fic between Worm and a story from TypeMoon “Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya” (lets shorten it to Prisma). Prisma is an in alternate universe to the Fate/Stay Night universe and has one the characters from that one (Illya, a homunculous) getting an alive magic stick named ‘Ruby’. She and others, including someone who has another magic stick named ‘Sapphire’, have to fine ‘Class Cards’ in order to save the tower. Things devolve from there. Oh, did I mention that the magic sticks have a warped personality from their creator, a Dead Apostle (TypeMoon’s vampires) named Zelretch who is the ultimate troll. Still it’s fun (think of it as a nicer Puella Magi Madoka Magica, if you understand the reference).

Basically in An Essence of Silver and Steel, Zelretch (who can travel and pull energy from parallel worlds) finds that the ‘Worm’ world does not really have magic anymore and sends another magic stick to find out why. It finds it’s way to becoming Taylor’s power. Things go right and wrong.   It’s one of the fics that shows that, yeah, Worm is a dark hero story, so things have to go wrong. I would recommend it. The link to the fanfiction is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12515214/1/An-Essence-of-Silver-and-Steel.

The other main thing I did was watch a few episodes of the Amazon Prime series, “Jack Ryan.” I haven’t read the books or watched any of the movie’s, but this is a really good series. Jack Ryan is a former Marine who is now a CIA analyst who sees a threat before anyone else and convinces his new boss to go after this guy. Things go wrong and now they’re trying to find him and stop him, while Jack is learning the experience of going out into the field. I recognized the actor for Jack Ryan from The Office (Though I haven’t seen much of it, mostly funny compilations on YouTube) and found I like Jack Ryan more than I thought I would.

That’s all for today, Ta Ta for Now!

Sunday

Today was a mostly focused on Ichigo Awakens, but I did read a few other things. The first one is a fic I started rereading, ‘A Protector’s Pride’ by NeoRyu777. It’s a Bleach fic that has Ichigo dealing with his inner Hollow before he meets the Vizards. Instead of one time beat down, they decide to do it every two weeks and whoever wins is in charge until the next time. Has a more forward thinking Ichigo. The link to the fanfiction is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5002293/1/A-Protector-s-Pride.

Then there was a fanfiction I read for the first time, ‘Unto the Breach’ by Backslash Echo. It’s a Naruto fic that’s 11 chapters and been around since 2015, but it was updated in August of this year, so maybe still good. It has Naruto being sent accidentally back in time in the fight against Tobi while holding the Tailed Beasts. All the jinchuuriki’s have their memories back, and maybe some others too. See how things change. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10973514/1/Unto-The-Breach.

I also dabbled in a fic (meaning I started reading, but will come back later and see if I want to read) that is a crossover between Fate/Stay Night and Sword Art Online called ‘Fate Revelation Online’ by daniel-gudman. Sword Art Online is a anime/light novel about a gamer ‘Kirito’ who along with thousands of others is trapped in a VR (Virtual Reality) MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that the title is named after until they can clear it. The main catch, if you die in the game, you die in reality. The helmet that allows to connect to the game will fry the player if taken off or if it losses power. Watch as Kirito, Asuna and their friends try to beat the game, for the first half of the first season. After that Asuna gets kind of sidelined and while it comes back to her, she’s only really important in that she’s with Kirito. I like the series, but know that some people don’t. Watch/read it if you want.

Fate Revelation Online has Shiro and Illya joining the game (which is different because the creator is also a magus). It didn’t catch my fancy at this time, but will come back and see later. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9740933/1/Fate-Revelation-Online.

I got a new chapter for a still short story called ‘Roofie” by Lunar-L. It’s a Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir fic that has an adult Marinette being roofied at a fashion party and being saved by Adrian. Her drugged state has her revealing that she likes him. It’s only on the fourth chapter and is finally the morning after (nothing happens, he just takes her home) and they’re both thinking about last night and what will happen from now on. This author also has a few other stories from the same series, mostly MariChat ones. The link to the author is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1727757/Lunar-L. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12610423/1/Roofie.

That was today, see you on the flip side.

Monday

I will post today, and man was today a large one for new fics. I caught up to where I hadn’t read of Ichigo Awakens and took a break from it for today. I read a new chapter of Mauling Snarks as it is Monday. Before I go into the fics I haven’t read before, I started rereading a RWBY fic called ‘Remnant’s Reclaimer’ by Hysterical Clerical Hijinks. It has an a little over 7 year’s older RWBY running so fast with her Semblance (along with an explosion) to accidentally travel back in time to her first year of Beacon (in a massively AU storyline that has Cinder as the main big bad). She then decides to stop Cinder’s plans (She didn’t merge with her younger self). It has lesbian couples in it, so if you don’t like, don’t read. The main sad thing is that it hasn’t been updated since 2016.  The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10813469/1/Remnant-s-Reclaimer.

The same author – Quatermass, wrote all the rest of the fanfictions I read today. The first one I read was called ‘Is Your Great-Aunt and AI!?’ and is a Harry Potter and Portal crossover. Portal is a set of two games about an insane AI, GLaDOS, who takes over a research facility after her human mind is uploaded and she goes insane. You play the mute character Chell, who must use a Portal Gun to solve challenges and escape. In this fic, Harry is sent to live with his great-aunt before she becomes GLaDOS and helps her stay (relatively) sane. She discovers his magic (which she calls ‘Will-based Tranmogrification Force’ or WFT) and he eventually goes to Hogwarts. However he has a more scientifically minded outlook, so things are interesting. Especially when the Morgan Freeman (from Half-Life) characterization from Freeman’s Mind (a YouTube video set on the channel Accursed Farms – the link to the channel is – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ6KZTTnkE-s2XFJJmoTAkw). I watched a few episodes and will watch more later, but my favorite line so far (which is also in the fic) is “I am Captain Gordon Freeman of the Intergalactic House of Pancakes ordering you to open”. The link to the author is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6716408/Quatermass.  The link to the fic is -https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11567521/1/Is-Your-Great-Aunt-an-AI. It also has an incomplete (for now) second year sequel called, ‘Just How Can a Computer Do Magic?!’ that can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12402919/1/Just-How-Can-a-Computer-Do-Magic.

The next one is called ‘Ex Umbra in Solem’ (which is Latin for ‘From the Shadows into the Light’) and is a Harry Potter and Fate/Zero crossover. Fate/Zero is the prequel to Fate/Stay Night and tells the story of the Fourth Grail War (Fate/Stay Night is the Fifth Grail War). The fic has Harry being thrown through the veil of death after things go wrong in the final battle and everyone he cares for dies. Umbridge (Umbitch) takes over the ministry and after trying to kill him in other ways (he’s the Master of Death) they kill him with the veil. He doesn’t die and ends up in a summoning circle along with Saber (Athuria Pendragon). He’s not a servant. Watch how his actions change the war. It is incomplete, but still being worked on. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12149998/1/Ex-Umbra-in-Solem.

(A quick interlude, I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I also read the fic by Quatermass called ‘HoneyMoon’. It’s their only Harry/Ginny story and has them honeymooning on the Moon in this cool one-shot. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11790040/1/HoneyMoon)

The one after that is ‘Pulvis et Umbra Sumus’ (which is Latin for ‘We are Dust and Shadow’) and is a Harry Potter and RWBY crossover. It has Harry being the son of Qrow and Gretchen Rainart (who was transported to the HP universe and died in childbirth after being tortured). Qrow and Raven go and get him at the end of third year. Read it if you want to learn more. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12856999/1/Pulvis-et-Umbra-Sumus.

I’ll leave the other’s I read to tomorrow as this is already over 1500 words. I’ll post again on Thursday!
