Can’t Think of a Title (2025)

Hello readers, it’s been another week. It was mostly a quiet week and I focused on reading for the quest and finishing Digimon: Time Stranger. I’m on track to finish the side story S’s this month. Lol, I’m not sure I’ll even finish the last main S story this year as I have around 30 cycles left to finish it (based on my calculations). And I still have around 65 Digimon left to get and one more side quest on Time Stranger. I’m AFK leveling right now to get some up to Digivolve.

Now for listening changes, I finished That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime Vol 1 and started By the Grace of the Gods Vol 5. In it, Ryoma has learned that there’s a festival coming up in his town. He and begin to prepare for it and end up more involved than he originally thought. He also goes on a hunt, but all isn’t as it seems.

I also finished Fate: Hammer Time by TedTheRabbit or rather all the chapters I had on my text-to-speech app. There’s 8 chapters I still need to catch up on currently. Then I quickly went through Yo-Ho Yo-Ho An Ashikabi’s Life for Me by Quatermass. It’s a Sekirei and Pirates of the Caribbean crossover I’ve mentioned before here. Jack is reborn as the MC Minato. He writes his story as books and becomes a famous author. Watch how he changes the Sekirei story. Sadly, unfinished and only has 13 real chapters.

After I finished that, I decided to read Usagi’s Struggles by Serena530. It’s a Sailor Moon AU set during the first season. During the hunt for the rainbow crystals, Usagi is condemned by the other senshi for her conduct normally and as a senshi. She quits and then becomes sick. This is the story of her learning her real destiny. It’s Usagi/Mamoru and don’t read if you like Rei/Mars. It’s finished with 22 chapters and even has a periodically updating sequel!

Onto the quest, first is Code Geass: Roar of the Rebellion by RyoshiMorino. This is a Code Geass and Zoids crossover that I mentioned here. I didn’t mention much about the story when I first talked about it, so I’ll do it now. Lelouch takes over as Zero during the Shinjuko Massacre, but he brings in his own units instead of stealing them – the Zoids. Turns out the Ashfords had some up with them before their fall, but didn’t have time to do anything with them. Lelouch uses this resource to help in his rebellion. It hasn’t been updated since 2018, so we might just have to be happy with the 27 chapters posted.

Second is Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion V2 by SeerKing. It’s a Code Geass AU fic I’ve mentioned before here. Lelouch figures out early that he needs to get in shape if he wants to overthrow his father. This changes many things, including getting him a harem. [Content Warning] As I mentioned the first time I mentioned it, there are sex scenes in it. but most of these are in the AO3 site [Content Warning] It currently has 59 chapters (including interludes) and is updated on a schedule (which means mostly once or twice a year. He has quite a few fics going on right now).

Third is Code Geass: The Rise of the Black Prince by nanoman79. This is another Code Geass fic, with a twist that I’ve mentioned before here. In it, Marianne, the mother of Lelouch and Nunnally doesn’t die and this changes everything. Lelouch stays in Britannia and Nunnally isn’t crippled. This doesn’t mean things don’t still happen, it’s just that the Japanese invasion is Lelouch and his siblings coming to visit. It completed with 107 chapters, but the sequel is not likely to be updated.

Fourth is Collateral Damage by ack1308. This is a Worm AU where Danny, Taylor’s father, is a very dangerous cape that’s been retired. When Taylor triggers she gets similar power and she and her father take out their anger on those who should have known better. It’s unfinished with 9 chapters since early last year.

Fifth is Collector Hero: Synthesis by Kairomaru. I recently mention this one here so I’ll skip the description. So, Sixth is Coming Home to Us by jojor99. This one is a Harry Potter one-shot. In it, Ginny isn’t giving Harry the chance to really talk and seems to avoid him. He decides to prove he wants her back. It’s a cute little story.

Seventh and last is Coming of Age by Siriuslives5. It’s another Harry Potter fic but focusing on Ginny during the seventh book. Watch as Ginny goes through Hogwarts controlled by Death Eaters. Sadly, unfinished with 6 chapters since 2005.

Nothing more for this week. Wait, I forgot to mention I got a necklace with Aqua’s wayfinder on it. I’ve been trying to get a wayfinder for a while and it’s great! Hope the lead up to the holidays goes well for everyone. May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Links Can Make You Late (and not the Zelda ones)

Hello, readers! I’m sorry this is two days late, but it’s because I forgot to get the links for the quest early and I had to do it on Sunday. I wrote most of this before the quest parts on Sunday, but I needed to sleep. Then I had a night meeting on Monday and couldn’t finish this until today. Onto your normal Matt blabber –

It’s been a normal-ish week, but I did finally get the shiny charm in Pokémon: Legends Z-A. So – I’m getting back to Digimon: Time Stranger to finish it up. More time travel for me and saving Digimon! And learning that the origin you thought you knew for your character is a lie, yay!

[Spoilers]

I mean, the hints were there from near the beginning that your origin story might have been made up. The human characters commonly say that your outfit reminds them of the anime “Agent Alpha”. It turns out that you are just a ‘dark shadow’ a remnant of Aegiomon who tried and failed to save Inori and wanted to have their backstory based on the anime her brother loved. Homeostasis, the ‘God’, of the world you’re in creates you to try and fix your own mistakes. We don’t know how the original timeline went, but we’re created to loop through and save Digimon that would have died to allow us to finally move time forward.

[Spoilers]

There’s more I could say, but I’m not finished with the game yet. I’m doing all the side quests and will probably try and get all the Digimon before the game ends. Will I end up doing a new game +? Not unless there is a good reason to. Like if I learn that there is more content that way, then sure, but otherwise I’ll put it to the side in favor of something like getting all the Alphas in the Pokémon Legends games or continuing the grind to 100.

As for changes in what I’m listening to, I finished In Another World With My Smartphone Vol 2 and decided to start That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime Vol 1 by FUSE. I chose this one because it’s on my list, but I wanted to listen as far as I can before I get there. I’ve read the manga and watched some of the anime, so I should be able to at least get to the last of the audio books, which is 5 currently.

For an explanation, Satou Mikami is killed by a robber defending co-workers. He’s reincarnated as a slime, but with special powers chosen by his thoughts when dying. There he meets one of the great Dragons, Veldora, who is trapped. They become friends and Satou is renamed as Rimuru Tempest, while Veldora gets the last name Tempest as well. Rimuru ‘eats’ Veldora to try and help free him and decides to go on an adventure while it’s working. Follow him as he meets new friends and enemies!

I also finished a fic I now realize I didn’t mention on here when I started it, Harry Potter and Artificer Legacy by Kairomaru. This is a fic where the Dursley’s didn’t treat Harry badly and in fact allow him to go to crafting camp and learn different crafts. This and Harry discovering his mom’s trunk by accident, leads to Harry crafting magical objects before he goes to Hogwarts. Harry ends up together with Penelope (Clearwater, you know Percy’s girlfriend from books 2-3), Tonks and Fleur. [Content Warning] There is sex and sexual situations in it, some with an underage Harry (starting at 14). Don’t like, don’t read. [Content Warning] This is not complete, but it has 85 chapters and it’s still being updated.

Onto what I’m actually listening to now is, Ginny Returns by kb0. It’s a Harry Potter time travel fic, where Ginny is the one going back in time. The war ends badly, and Ginny and a crippled Hermione are the only ones left. Ginny goes back in time to change the future for the better and ends up before her first year. How will things go? And will she and Harry still end up together? Find out in this finished fic!

I also finished Collector Hero: Synthesis by Kairomaru. I decided to listen to Deku? I think he’s some pro… by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown). It’s actually the first of the For The Want of a Nail series by this author I mentioned last time. In it, (after he’s rejected by All Might) Izuku decides to send his analysis of certain underground heroes to them on a secret hero forum that he’s figured out the identities of the users. This leads them to think he’s a old pro, they ask for his hero name and after a bad day, tells them it’s Deku. Watch Izuku as he trains to become the first quirkless hero, no matter who says it’s impossible. This one is actually finished!

Now, onto the quest, first is Choices by Epeefencer. This is a Harry Potter one-shot. Harry and Ginny are married, and Ginny is worried about Harry being an Auror. This is compounded when she gets notice that he was injured again. They have a frank discussion on her concerns. It’s an interesting little fic and even has at least one sequel.

Second is Christmas Gifts by DukeBrymin. It’s a Harry Potter short fic with four chapters. In it, Harry and Ginny are very busy with being an Auror and a Quidditch player. They rarely see each other and leave notes. So, they decide to do something about it. (And yes, I know that the two topics are very similar, but it’s just a coincidence.) It’s also complete!

Third is Christmas Wishes by Epeefencer. This one is a Harry Potter two-shot song fic. The song is I’ll Be Home For Christmas and it’s set during the 7th book. Harry and Ginny write letters to each other for Christmas and Kreacher helps get them to each other. A cute little story.

Fourth is Chunin Exam Day by Perfect Lionheart. This was a popular Naruto fic, but it’s been inactive since 2010. It’s one of the first loop fics based on the concept from Groundhog Day. Naruto goes to sleep after the invasion on the last of the chunin exam and wakes up on the first day of the exam again. He doesn’t understand how it happened, but unless he advances in the exam, he wakes up on the first exam again. He learns who really believes in him and starts to become a really serious ninja, if only to actually get out of the loops. It has 77 chapters, but it becomes a slog after a while. It’s worth a read, but I wouldn’t expect it to ever be finished even if the author has updated one of their fics for the first time recently.

Fifth is Chunin Exam Sabotage by White Angel of Auralon. This is a Naruto one shot. The Third Hokage gets Naruto a secret teacher after he becomes genin to help him catch up. He becomes stronger and is give a task before the chunin exam, sabotage those who aren’t ready for the exam, including his own team. He uses all his skills to do this. You’ll be very surprised on who his teacher is. An interesting read.

Sixth is Closest Encounters by Captain Compass. This is a side story to the Honestly Harry fics I’ve talked about before. It’s several little stories between Harry, Hermione and Ginny from the first story through third year. [Content Warning] There are sexual scenes in the fic between underage characters. However, they are magically grown up and married in them. Don’t like, don’t read. [Content Warning] There are five chapters and it’s probably finished because the main story is complete.

Seventh and final one today is Cloudy, with a Chance of Freedom by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Katekyo Hitman Reborn crossover that I’ve talked about before here. In it, after Skull de Mort dies in the Future Arc, he wakes up in his seven-year-old body as Harry Potter. He decides to change things and sets the original timeline on its head. Hogwarts isn’t ready for Skull de Mort and maybe he can even meet and help his fellow Arcabaleno. It’s one of this author’s longer fics with 41 chaps (I know I said 42 in by previous post, but that was wrong I guess), but it’s not finished and was last updated in 2018.

In the mentioned meeting yesterday, I was elected to an important role in the church. However, it shouldn’t be as time consuming as the other main role I was almost elected to or even the one I’m in now. That’s all from me and as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

The First Day of the New Job and Going to Pick Up KHIII Soon!

So, it was a long first day on the job, but I’m grateful I have one! Because of that and other things, I don’t have much for this weekend. However, I have gotten started on the fanfiction links I promised. You’ll notice on the top of the page next to the Archive link, there is now a Fanfiction & Links link. I’ve split it so you can look for the fics by Author or by Original Story. There are links to these sections in the Fanfiction link, along with other links I’ve given that aren’t fanfictions. Since I didn’t have as much time as I would like, I’ve only add two author’s stories into both sections. Have a look if you like (I don’t know why the color is pink, I also haven’t had time to look into how to change it). Also, I’ve decided to have the name of the fic be the link to the story from now on my posts and the Fanfiction section.

Moving on, I read more Taylor Varga and Sky Bunny along with the Slime Web Novel and reread Justice, Justice Shall You Pursue and Petrification Proliferation. I also watch some more of the Black Clover anime, but switch to the manga after episode 30 and read up to the latest chapter, 190. The new chapters from this weekend are: Mauling Snarks, Tsunami, Seerking’s Asylum, The Unseen Hunt, Devil Ninja, and History’s Strongest Disciple Again? (azndrgn is taking Feb off to focus on Kingdom Hearts III). I wish I could, but I’m gonna get the game in less than an hour then probably crash.

I did read a few new fanfics anyway. The first one is Red String by Lady Hallen. It’s a KHR and Harry Potter story where fem. Harry meets Reborn after her war and after he grows up again. They hit it off and start spending time together, however with both of their secret lives, can they stay together? Find out if you read.

The only other one I read is called, Luna Lovegood and the Dark Lord’s Diary by The madness in me. It has Luna ending up with Voldemort’s diary a few months into her first year. When she writes in it, Tom of course writes back and wants to go back to Ginny. However, Luna likes him and doesn’t think he has Ginny’s interests at heart (lol, yeah no), so she keeps the diary. So the question must be asked, will Luna fall under his influence … or will Tom end up under hers?

Sorry it’s so short, but I’m tired and really will probably crash after I pick up KHII (as much as I would love to play it, I really need sleep). See everyone on Friday and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

I Got a Job! (YAY!)

Hey everyone, I finally got a job that isn’t temporary! I start on Monday and it’s a 10 hour work day so I may start posting earlier on Monday cause I start at 6 in the morning. I’ll have less time to read, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll stop posting. So look forward to many more posts my readers. I’ve decided that I’m going to create a fanfiction page where you can look through either the author’s name or originating story to find a certain fanfic. I’ll try and implement it this weekend.

This week was again more Taylor Varga while I continue to work through the web novel of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and finished rereading Demonic Jewels. No new episodes of the Slime anime yet cause that comes out on Monday. The new chapters for this week are: Flames, Reality Bites Worm, Knight of Betrayal and Taiga Cub, Hive Daughter, Seerking’s Asylum, Campione of the Raging Tides, A Ninja Summoned, Heroes Assemble!, Mauling Snarks (Friday) & Omake(Wednesday), The Gamer, Titanfall, Raptor of the 20th Ward, Ashes to Flame, Mending the Knots, Breaking the Guilded Cage, Angels and Demons and Taylor Varga Omake (MCU).

In the fanfiction world, I started reading (but haven’t continued cause it couldn’t fully keep my attention) ‘Forged in Hellfire: Lost Soul Reborn’ by RainthelingeringSentiment. It’s a Naruto and Mortal Kombat crossover. Mortal Kombat is an arcade game turned movie and cartoon/anime? I don’t normally pay attention to it, but the fanfic sounded interesting at first. It has Naruto falling in love with Haku on the Wave mission and sacrificing himself to save her from Kakashi’s attack. This awakens the sleeping portion of his soul that was formerly Scorpion’s (Hasashi Hanzo) and they have to merge to stay alive. The resulting personality is a mix of the two and he has to figure out who he is now. It’s a harem fic. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11624888/1/Forged-in-Hellfire-Lost-Soul-Reborn.

The second one in the same situation as the first is ‘Time Traveling Prince’ by Tactition101. It’s a Naruto and Sailor Moon crossover where Naruto is Chibiusa’s older twin brother who was sent to the allied Konoha to learn. He is sent after her to help her when she goes to the past and does his best to help her. It just didn’t catch my interest that day. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6492083/1/Time-Traveling-Prince.

The only other new stories I read were, of course, more sakurademonalchemist ones! Only four this time though. The first is ‘Lost Name’ and is a crossover between Cardcaptor Sakura and Harry Potter. It has Harry being Eriol from the second series and making his own cards. Clow even gets his own body for a while. Unfortunately, it’s another one of those stories that hasn’t been updated in a long time. But, if you want to read it, the link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10450983/1/Lost-Name.

The second one is ‘Angels Among Us,’ which is a crossover between Supernatural and Ghost Rider. It has an angel that has been captured in Hell being the power behind the Ghost Rider. When Dean is in Hell, he sees the angel and becomes her vessel to break her out of Hell when he gets out. Having her around changes things and mostly for the better. Find out how here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10442197/1/Angels-Among-Us.

Third is ‘Soul and Sword,’ a crossover between Yu Yu Hakusho and Fate/Stay Night. Shiro heard about Genkai from his father before he died, so he goes to her to help him train as a Magus. He ends up in her tournament and ends up getting training from her alongside Yusuke. Shiro unlocks his magic and learns how to be a psychic while helping Yusuke and the gang. Read it here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10232459/1/Soul-and-Sword.

The final on is the one I’d already read, ‘Sky Bunny.’ It’s one of the newer(ish) of their stories and is a crossover between KHR and Yu-Gi-Oh! I’ve mentioned it before, but haven’t talked about it. So, Yu-Gi-Oh! Is an anime based on a card games of the same title. The original series is about Yugi Muto, an aspiring duelist who has an old gold Egyptian puzzle necklace that looks like and upside down pyramid. This necklace has the spirit of an old Egyptian pharaoh who takes over and helps Yugi duel. He soon learns that just because it’s a game, it doesn’t make it any less real.

The story has a Fem. Tsuna becoming Yugi’s rival’s, Seto Kaiba, assistant to get away from her hometown. Seto ends up keeping her as his assistant and even transfers her to his and Yugi’s school (before the series starts). She gets caught up in the madness, but she does her best to help out those around her. Find the story here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12629452/1/Sky-Bunny.

I also watched the first episodes of the anime, “Black Clover.” It’s about a young boy named Asta who wants to become the Magic King to prove a poor orphan can do it. The only problem, he doesn’t have any magic. When everyone else, including his rival Yuno, gets a grimoire and he doesn’t, he’s devastated. However, when he stands up to a magician to save his friend, he gets a grimoire that manifests a sword that cuts through magic. The one issue, it has a five-leaf clover on it. That indicates that it’s related to a demon, the very beings the original Wizard King defeated. What will happen next? I don’t know, I just started watching it, but it’s really interesting anyway.

So! Look forward to the new fanfiction database? (the best description I have for it) next time. See everyone then (alongside the time I get KHIII!) and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

It’s a Week to KH3!

Hey everyone! It’s been an fun weekend.  No polls and I haven’t had time to work on getting the list of fanfic I’ve mentioned up yet, still figuring out how I want to do it.  In PoGo news, I got a shiny Feebas on Saturday’s event but no one on my town’s chat can find this month’s Spinda task.  Anyway, I continued with Taylor Varga and Drifting, along with starting to rereading Demonic Jewels and catching up with Titanfall (Fanfic).  I also watched Back Cover and Kingdom Hearts 0.2, so I am completely ready for KH3 a week from now!  This weekend’s new chapters were: The Gamer (Webcomic), Breaking the Guilded Cage, Angels and Demons, Relic of the Future, An Essence of Silver and Steel, Taylor Varga Omake (Sat, Sun, Mon), Headstart, Warlock, Price of Blood, The Unseen Hunt, Gun Bunny and Mauling Snarks.  I also learned I need to catch up with Ashes of the Past cause it had the battle the whole fic has been leading up to in a few chapters update (not that it’s finished, just that the original point of having gone back is done).

I actually read a few new stories this weekend, so get ready, cause here they come!  First is ‘Hive Daughter’ by PlateGlassArmour.  It’s a Worm fic with a slight Warhammer 40,000 crossover.  It has Taylor connecting to their Hive mind when she Triggers and learning how they do what they do.  Watch as Taylor becomes a Bio-tinker Master and try to work with the good guys (which is hard because some of them are against her), here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13012317/1/Hive-Daughter.

Next is ‘Teeth and Claws’ by TheShadowSwan.  It’s a Harry Potter and KHR crossover with a fem. Harry.  She has multiple personalities to deal with different parts of her life and eventually ends up with one called ‘Skull de Mort.’  She is called to the table of greatest because of another personality who was The Greatest Thief, Noir.  She doesn’t trust any of them, but especially Luce, Lal Mitch and Iron Hat.  Find out how she changes things by following this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12928533/1/Teeth-and-Claws.

Then, there was ‘Marvel’s Maelstrom’ by Pibbinator.  It’s a Naruto and MCU crossover that has Naruto being transported to save him by Sasuke during the battle against Kaguya.  He ends up landing near Kamar-Taj and the Ancient One takes him in and helps him.  He wants to get back to help his friends, but can’t find out how to do it.  He ends up looking for the Space Stone to help him and gets caught up in the MCU’s problems.  Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12365777/1/Marvel-s-Maelstrom.

On to more sakurademonalchemist, the first is on that is only on AO3, ‘Transcending Time and Space.’  It’s another crossover between Harry Potter and KHR and has fem. Harry being Fran from the future timeline.  She gets her memories back early and leaves after her OWLS to join the Varia.  She joins as a maid to easily get in, but what’s up with her and Prince the Ripper?  Find out here – https://archiveofourown.org/works/14302704/chapters/32997702.

After that is ‘An Angel and a Trickster,’ which is a Supernatural and Harry Potter crossover.  In it, fem. Harry is depressed for her fifth year when Gred and Forge summon Loki to the castle to take care of Umbridge.  Loki takes a liking to her and decides to make a deal that if he can make her happy again, she’ll go out with him.  Can he win the bet or will things come crumbling down.  Find out at this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10142032/1/An-Angel-and-a-Trickster.

Third is ‘Shattered Mask’ a crossover between Naruto and MCU.  When the council tries to screw her over after the War, Fem Naruto takes the other Bijuu and vessels out of the Elemental Countries.  They scatter, but she ends up on Asgard as a bar maid.  There she meets Thor, Loki and friends.  The only one she can tolerate is Loki and she decides to help him out.  Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10709418/1/Shattered-Mask.

Fourth is ‘Crimson Typhoon,’ which is a One Piece and Naruto.  Kushina’s dad is Shanks and he picks up Fem. Naruto after his parents are killed.  She joins him on her crew and ends up working on her own. Oh, and something happened causing each nation to be it’s own island.  All of that and more, here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10574085/1/Crimson-Typhoon.

Fifth is ‘Hidden Song,’ another Harry Potter and Supernatural crossover.  This time though, Harry is Bobby (more aged for reasons).  Watch as he helps the Winchesters out while dealing with England come for him. And this time England is not coming home! (sorry, when I typed the sentence before that it came to me and I couldn’t stop myself.  For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, look up Football England Coming Home Song and you’ll find it.)  The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10496217/1/Hidden-Song.

Sixth (and last that I’ve read currently of their fics) is ‘Kitsune Otome,’ which is a Mai HIME (Mai OTOME) crossover.  In the battle between Sasuke and Fem. Naruto when the former is defecting, a portal is accidentally opened and she ends up in the world of Mai OTOME.  She trains to become an Otome until she can go home.  But will things be the same when she does?   Find out here –  https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10368153/1/Kitsune-Otome.

Moving On, I also watched “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.”  The anime is only 16 episodes long now, but the web novel (turned light novel) is finished.  After watching all the episodes, I started reading the web novel.  Anyway, it’s about an almost 40 salary worker who saves his junior from being stabbed and gets killed.  He ends up reincarnated in another world as a slime, but a powerful one.  I haven’t finished it yet (by a long shot), but it’s interesting.

That’s everything for the weekend, but I’m going to see the new Dragon Ball Super movie tomorrow!  See you readers on Friday and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
