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.

Progress!!!

Hello, readers. Another week has passed and on Friday I finally did something I’ve been trying to do for a long time… I finally got the last Unown Alpha (?)! I’m ecstatic and am now working on getting the different gender alphas I don’t have before I work on the fossils and Rowlet line in the space time rifts. I may get all the alphas I’m missing before long, yay!

Works been work. I have a training on Monday, but it’s just a normal renewal thing so I’m not worried. We have to work on rearranging stock to make way for actual desks for some co-workers (mostly because one of them wants an actual desk and the other two don’t care as they work out and about). We also have a location closing and my team has to help pack and move everything starting this week.

The first change to my listening list is that I finished Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! Vol 1 and decided to relisten to The Saga of Tanya the Evil Vol 1. This is because I know the 2^nd season is coming out and I’ve never actually gotten past vol 3 even though I have all 14 books in person. The Salaryman dies and is reincarnated in an alternate world as a young girl. There through mostly his own misunderstandings is forced into more perilous situations (with some nudging from the heavenly side). It’s an interesting story and I’ve been wanting to read it through for a while.

The only other change is that I finished Hybird Hive – Eat Shard and it’s ‘sequels’. It’s not really sequels, just other Taylors that were accidentally created and where they ended up. One ends up in the MCU when Loki opens the portal in Avengers 1. The other one ends up in a canon Worm before that Taylor goes out. The last one is a what if Taylor found Star Wars in her universe before Alderaan was destroyed.

I replaced it with A Darker Path by ack1308. It’s a Worm AU that I’ve mentioned before in the list here. Taylor triggers with The Path to Ending instead of Queen Administrator. It allows her to kill whatever she wants with steps like Contessa. She takes is and runs with is like the Queen of Escalation that she is. It’s complete and a fun read.

Now, to the quest; first is Fluffy Firsts: Tales of H&G’s first kiss by MrIntel. This one is a set of 8 one-shots on how Harry and Ginny could get together/have their first kiss. They mostly fluffy, but some have angst as well. It’s worth the read!

Second is Follow the Phoenix by Rachelme177. I’ve mentioned this one earlier here because its sequel was in the As. Albus makes better decisions after the end of 5^th year and takes Harry in. Ginny is his support and they get together earlier in the year. It’s complete (obviously as it has a sequel).

Third is For The Honor Of The Regiment by mp3.1415player. It’s a Worm and BOLO series crossover that I first mentioned here. A BOLO tank (AI driven) is sent to places unknown and ends up taking over Queen Administrator. It activates the connection early and trains Taylor early as it’s operator. The Story goes back and forth between past and present. Sadly incomplete with 25 chapters.

Fourth is For Want of an Outfit by CmptrWz. This is one of my favorites and is a Harry Potter AU with slight crossover with several stories including Kingdom Hearts. I actually just realized I’ve never mentioned it on here because I haven’t listened to it recently. The Dursley’s force Harry to dress like a girl when a trunk of Lily’s old clothes is dropped on their doorstep one day when he’s young. He gets used to it, but it forces them to realize how badly their treating him. By then he’s used to it and decides to do it to be close to his mother. He discovers magic early and many things are different. It’s incomplete but has 271 chapters (and I’m fairly sure the reason it’s not being updated is that the author is planning the next part out and writing it).

Fifth is Force of Souls by Kairomaru. It’s a Bleach AU where the main change I can remember at first is that Ichigo is with Orihime and Tatsuki before Rukia shows up and Ichigo is less restrained in his interest in girls. The girls also become soul reapers and that’s just one of the changes. It’s worth reading and has 36 chapters and was updated in Feb.

Sixth and final is Forever Red by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. I’ve also mentioned this one before here as it’s the 2^nd sequel oneshot to The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies about the Power Rangers. It’s the in-fic version of the crossover from the series of the same name. The main differences are that the teams are closer in general, there are more concrete relationships and Kira (Tommy and Kim’s daughter) is involved.

That’s it for this week. There are 15 alphas I need from Legends Arceus, 2 from Legends Z-A (both gender alpha forms) and a female G-Max Venusaur to complete my living dex. I look forward to only having to get them all up to 100! As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Sorry For Missing Last Week

Hello, readers. Sorry I didn’t post last week. I just got busy and kept putting it off. So, I decided to just do a double long post this week. It’s been a couple of slow weeks at work. I managed to deduce who got the position last Friday and I guess it makes sense because she is bilingual and has more contact with the other locations. However, this is the second time someone originally from that position has gotten the job over me. It’s kinda annoying.

Anyway, I’ve also been spending time reorganizing my Pokemon Home to make space for the Alphas from Z-A. I’ve used a data site to help me do so and now I have all the spaces I need for when it is able to connect. I also need to get rid of some photos from my phone because I have like 40 GBs of it and I’m like, how? It’s mostly because I don’t get rid of screenshots I don’t need anymore.

On to what I’ve been listening to, I finished In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 6 and that’s where I’ll stop this one as I don’t think I’ve read more than that. So I started Baccano! Vol 1 By Ryohgo Narita and Katsumi Enami. It’s an interesting series I actually found through the anime years ago.

It’s about alchemists who summoned a demon in the 1700s to make themselves immortal. Only the leader was given the recipe to make more immortals. He told part of it to his brother, only to decide there wouldn’t be any more immortals. The thing is that they could die by someone putting their right hand on the person’s head and ‘eating’ them, getting their knowledge. Another immortal ‘eats’ his brother instead of him and escapes. Go forward to the time of prohibition, the immortal is still trying to make the correct recipe. His people succeed, however a ‘not’ mafia gang and two oddball thieves accidentally gets involved and their might be another immortal involved. It’s fun and the other novels go to different time periods, including 2001 (excluding that the story is being told to someone in 2002).

It very interesting and has many different characters it follows. The anime is silly and jumps between different parts in the story to make it more interesting. It only has the one season, but there might be more eventually.

After I finished Baccano!, I started Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs vol 1 by Yomu Mishima. Yes, I did this because of Life’s a Pay to Win Game. I’ve never read the light novels, just read the manga and seen the anime (along with fanfics I’ve read). Actually, I might have read the webnovel at some point, I think. I’ve already explained the base of this series, but this volume covers through a bit after the mecha fight with the five idiots (based on the chap titles).

Next, I finished with Amor Enim Vult and decided to listen to A Body Roll or Two by TheAmazingWadey. It’s a Miraculous Ladybug fic that I’ve mentioned before in the current quest, here. It’s set during their college years after Adrian left with his father to America. During the intervening years, Marinette has gotten in Bachata and goes into an audition. She succeeds and finds that recently returned Adrian is her partner. How will this go and will they ever reveal their identities? You can find out, but sadly it’s about one chapter short (I think, an epilogue would be good) and hasn’t been updated since 2017.

Following that, I finished Beyond the Outer Gate Lies and decided to listen to The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor by Heesung Nam. It’s a Korean webnovel that’s been translated online. The link will take you to the first chapter and you can read most of it there, but you’ll have to search out the rest online like I did. It’s about Lee Hyun, a 20-year-old orphan and a high school dropout. He just became an adult and was finally allowed to work legally. He decides to sell his old game account instead of deleting it. This makes news because he’s the highest player in the game. He gets over 3 billion won for it and starts to make things better for his sister and grandmother. However, the loan sharks that drove him to leave high school come for most of it because of his father’s debt. Hyun decides to train for a year with the money left over and then join the new VR game Royal Road to gain money that way. He’ll eventually become the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (against his will) and have many adventures. It has 58 ‘volumes’ and is complete.

Finally, I also finished The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. I continued with Countdown to Destruction the first one-shot. I’ve mentioned it before here, but it’s the fanfic storyline of the end of Power Rangers In Space. After that it was Forever Red, the second one-shot. This one follows the crossover of the same name, in the Winged Lord storyline. However, Tommy and Kim’s daughter is kidnapped as part of it, and he doesn’t tell Kim. I’m sure you can see how that’ll end. Now I’m ready to read the sequel!

After I finished those, I decided to listen to Solidarity Among Students, Class 1-A Edition by Jetstream. This is a My Hero Academia fic told through chat-logs. After the elections, Eraserhead creates a class chat and the usual shenanigans happen. Relationships happen because of it (including homosexual ones [Don’t Like, Don’t Read]). The main ones are: Toru/Mashirao, Kyoka/Momo and Izuku/Ochaco(With maybe Tsuyu later). It’s fun with 33 chapters, but is sadly unfinished and hasn’t updated since 2021.

Onto the quest, first is Elemental Sky by sakurademonalchemist. This is a KHR and Naruto crossover that I’ve talked about before here. Basically Nana is sisters with Gaara and his siblings mother. Fem. Tsuna (Nozomi) learns of this when she’s ten and goes to visit them. She’s able to keep Shukaku calm and allow Gaara to sleep. She ends up going with the siblings to Konoha for the Chunin exams and changes things. It has 9 chapters and sadly hasn’t updated since 2018.

Second is Elimination by White Angel of Auralon. This is a Naruto AU one-shot set after Mizuki’s betrayal. Someone sets things up for three of the new graduates to die before the team announcements. They are Sakura, Sasuke and a random other graduate. This leads the Hokage to change the teams and Naruto ends up with two new characters. How will this change things?

Third is Elves by kb0. This is Harry Potter one-shot where the Potters had an elf. She follows Hagrid to the Dursleys and calls other elves to help free him from unwanted magics. This includes the Horcux. She takes him away and sets things up for the Horcuxes to be destroyed. Her actions even manage to accidentally free Sirius. It’s a fun little fic.

Fourth is Embracing Destiny by White Angel of Auralon. This one I talked about last post here. Fifth is Emerald Flight Book One: Union by megamatt09. This is a Harry Potter and Superman: The Animated Series crossover with Harry/Kara. Harry and Kara meet at Vegas after fifth year (though Sirius faked his death) and the end of the Superman series and get married. This has lots of consequences, but they’ll get through it together. [Content Warning] All three of this series are Mature fics with sex scenes like all of this author’s fics. [Content Warning]

Sixth is the sequel Emerald Flight Book Two: Conqueror by megamatt09. It’s been a year since they got married and Harry and Kara are dealing with a lot. However, Zod is on his way and the two add several other Karas to their relationship. Seventh is the final Emerald Flight Book Three: New Krypton by megamatt09. Harry and his Kara wives have dealt with Zod, but now Darkseid is back and they have to deal with him and whatever else comes. This is the last book in this series.

Eigth is Endothermic Reaction by ShamelessWhisper. This is a My Hero Academia AU. Izuku is born with a quirk, but it’s too powerful and can harm people if he makes a sound. After an accident after getting his quirk he’s worked to never speak. He gets into UA, but not everyone thinks he should be a hero. In fact, Tomura actively wants him on his side. However, Ochaco wants him to stay with her. What happens? We’re told, but the story is incomplete. The author didn’t want to write to rest and so just did a summary in the last ‘chapter’. Put this in here before the last chapter, lots of angst and not many happy things make me think I’ll probably delete this fic from my app.

Ninth and last is Energy Materialization by Layser_22. This is another MHA AU where Izuku has a quirk. However, that doesn’t mean he’s not an outlier anyway. In this universe, only women got quirks and men gradually stopped being born. Now there aren’t any men until Izuku is born. How will his life go as the only man in a world of superpowered women? It has 14 chapters and has been on extended hiatus since 2021.

So, hopefully the extended post helps make up for the missing one last week. Hope you have a great week! Next week’s post might be late as well because I’m going to the Go Tour at the Rose Bowl Stadium. I’ll be wearing an Instinct yellow shirt and hat. See you then and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

A Busy Week

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s a Travel Weekend

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lack of Sleep is Not Fun

Hello, readers! Sorry, this is late (I wrote quite a bit on Monday, but even the listen to part was really long), I went to sleep early on Sunday to make sure I got enough for what I needed to do Monday. Or rather, what I thought was Monday, it’s really Tuesday and all the prep I did for it was for naught because I forgot to check the date, so I have to prepare again. It’s fine, I hope I get better sleep (I did a little bit better and managed to make the appointment).

This isn’t even counting that I tried to do this last week and my sleep was so bad I barely made it through the workday (and obviously canceled). However, I finished the main story for the Pokémon Legends Z-A DCL and just have to catch the last legendries and the other Pokémon I don’t have yet. Then I go DCL alpha hunting.

So, what I’m listening to, it’s changed quite a bit, or rather one has. I finished Nozomi of the Sand by sakurademonalchemist. Then I decided to listen to The Quiet Fox by TheBeardedOne. It’s a Naruto fic that’s a little different than others. Other than in-between chapters set in the current time, most of the story is told from one character’s perspective. No character is repeated and this makes it interesting. Naruto saves Hinata from getting kidnapped by making the mob chasing him think the kidnapper is trying to help him. They then end up at the Namikaze estate. It’s an interesting story and even finished!

When that one was finished I started listening to where I’m at currently with Naruto: Rise of the West by azndrgn. It’s a fic based on the Emperor Naruto of the West challenge from a while back. In the challenge – Naruto is kicked out of Konoha after the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. Hinata eventually becomes his Empress, typically leaving with him. They go to West, where they unite it as they are waring. Years later, Konoha is in a bad spot and go to them for help unknowing that Naruto is Emperor. There are also typically many characters from other stories that are part of the West.

In this one, Tsunade is forced to exile him (there are ones where she agrees) and Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Konohamaru and Hanabi follow him. They are almost captured either by Itachi and Kisame or Root agents. They’re saved by Yusuke (from Yu Yu Hakusho) and they follow him to the West (with Itachi and Kisame who voluntarily leave Akatsuki). All the villages are approached many years later to compete in several tournaments in the West. All agree. This fic is completed with 20 chapters.

I also finished In Another World With My Smartphone Vol 3 like, last week, I think? I then listened That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol 2. In it Rimuru meets some new friends and ends up in a battle for the forest. We also get some insight into some characters that will eventually have relevance.

After I finished that one earlier this week, I started listening to By The Grace of the Gods Vol 6. Ryoma participates in an adventurer training camp as a teacher and teaches quite a bit. After that he scares the participants with his battle prowess. Then he manages to save a man who was attacked by bandits, all while getting some new slimes!

As I mentioned I finished Broken Dreams by ThunderReborn last week, I then listened to Breaking the Sky by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Dragon Drive and KHR crossover that I’ve talked about before here. Fem Tsuna gets into Dragon Drive and gets a special box to manifest her dragon Sora into the real world. She shouldn’t have been able to and certain people are trying to find her because of it. It’s only got 11 chapters and is obviously unfinished. After I finished that I started Crushing on a Devil by TanJaded. I mentioned it last week so I won’t go over it again.

Onto the quest, first is Dark Evangel’s Final Task by fg7dragon. This is a Negima! Magister Negi Magi and Harry Potter crossover. Evangeline A.K. McDowell tries to finally kill herself hundreds of years after the end of the Negima! manga. She finds that she can’t and meets Death, who gives her a task to do and then he will make sure she dies. What is that task, but live in and help shape Harry and make sure he destroys one of the Deathly Hallows so they aren’t united. She can’t actually contact him before he’s fourteen, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t doing things. It’s a fun little fic, but it’s sadly incomplete with 9 (actual) chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2012.

Second is Dark Knights by TheBeardedOne. This is a DC Comics story where Clark is found by the Waynes and is raised as Bruce’s brother. When Bruce becomes Batman, Clark becomes Nightwing. It’s got 13 chapters and is finished. It even has a sequel that intersects with another of the author’s fics that is later on the list.

Third is Dark Phoenix of Konoha by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Naruto fic I’ve talked about before here. I’ve even mentioned listening to it recently. It’s a Naruto trains in secret and is more badass than normal. Sadly incomplete.

Fourth is Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo by AkumaKami64. It’s a Star Wars story, that I apparently only mentioned when I got updates and didn’t talk about the story. So Vader is sent back in time while chasing the Millennium Falcon in Episode 5. He finds himself back on Naboo during the invasion in Episode 1. He determines he’ll change things to go his way. However, he’s not the only one who’s in the past. It’s finished and has a sequel that is currently updating.

The fifth and final is Daughter of Flame by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist crossover I’ve talked about before here. In it Fem Harry is actually Roy’s daughter and goes through the Gate to meet him after her fourth year. There she travels with Ed and Al to eventually meet her dad. It’s got 14 chapters and is obviously unfinished with no updates since 2015.

Well, this took a while. Hopefully things are going well with y’all with the Holidays coming up. I’m planning on making sure I relax and maybe reach my quest goal by the end of the year (in case you forgot it’s reaching the Th stories in my side stories). I might be able to finish my final main S story, but who knows. It really depends on how much I read between now and then. I only have 5ish cycles before I reach a Th story, but I have over 10 to finish the S one. Anyway, as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Finally the End of the C’s!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Hello, everyone! I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a great one! Mine was fine, I had to do a lot of work during a church service because of system issues, but we think we’ve figured it out (I hope {We did!}). They announced who got the upper-level position at work but haven’t put lower-level job up to apply to. Hopefully, it’ll happen soon, but you never know.

So, I’ll talk a bit about the Dungeon Crawler Carl book that I mentioned last time. Carl was chasing his ex-girlfriend’s prized cat (Princess Donut [insert long name I’m not going to repeat]) at night, outside in a blizzard without pants, when the apocalypse came. Aliens flattened all structures and anything that had a ‘roof’. They then announced to the survivors that they had to either live with what was left or join a dungeon crawling game to try and win the planet back. Carl grabbed Donut and bolted to an entrance to survive. He didn’t expect for Donut to gain sapience. Now he has to go through the Dungeon without pants and with a ‘royal’ cat. His most common phrase is “Dammit, Donut.” It’s worth a read and is part of a series.

So, changes to what I’m listening to – I rushed through Yet again, with a little extra help by Third Fang. This is because of what I mentioned about its sequel being next on the list. I read the one right behind it, but I managed to finish and am now reading the sequel. I don’t have its replacement yet, so I’ll mention it next week.

Because of that, I only finished The Echo Ranger by Xavon Wrentaile and that only because I hadn’t read past the 22 chapter. I’m now almost finished catching up to it’s current chapter, 29. The next one I’m listening to is A Hero Rises by Zabeck. It’s a My Hero Academia fic that I’ve mentioned before in the quest here. It’s a longer fic, but I’ll remind people. [*A warning, this has explicit sex scenes, don’t read if you’re underage or aren’t interested*] It’s an Izuku/Himiko/1-A girls fic, just so you’re forwarded.

Onto the quest, first is Constellations by UnwelcomeStorm. This is a Worm and Okami games crossover. Taylor first meets Amaterasu in her great wolf form when she’s lost in the forest at summer camp when she’s young. Taylor names her Sunshine (Sunny) and they meet up irregularly. After her mom dies and she’s alone, Sunny comes saves her flute. After an odd sequence of events, including accidentally convincing Oni Lee that she’s a Miko; she and Sunny end up fixing up an abandoned shrine. It’s an amusing fic and Danny’s even a cape in this one. It has 54 chapters, but hasn’t been updated since 2021.

Second is Contractual Obligation: How Visha Secured her Position as Adjutant for Life by TanJaded. This is a Youjo Senki (which is finally getting a second season next year) short fic. After years, the war is finally over and the 203^rd is back in the capital. Tanya (who’s 18 by now) tells Visha that she won’t be her adjutant forever. Visha decides she doesn’t like that and looks into how she can be her adjutant for life. This leads her an interesting document that means she can take care of Tanya for life. The only thing is getting her to sign it. (And yes, I’m referring to getting married). It’s amusing little finished fic.

Third is Coping Mechanisms by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR fic I’ve mention before here. Tsuna finds out that his mother is more lucid when he’s dressed up as a girl, so he decides to do it more. He’s found out and is helped by Hibari, as long as he helps keeps the girls away. Then Fon breaks the seal, and they really can switch genders. It has 8 chapters and is of course, unfinished since 2017.

Fourth is Corpse Cleaner by also by sakurademonalchemist. It also another KHR fic I’ve mentioned before here. Tsuna is a corpse cleaner in Italy at a young age. He gets along well with the Varia and they helped him to find his grandmother. How will the Vongola deal with a former cleaner as their heir? You’ll barely find out here, because it only has 7 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2019.

Fifth is later in a series, so the first one is The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. This one is a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger fic with Tommy/Kimberly. [Warning there is rape and noncon sex scenes at the beginning] While Tommy is under the evil spell, he kidnaps Kim. He does somethings he wouldn’t normally do and they become more connected then normal. They also have a kid. It goes through Turbo.

Next in the series is the actual next one for the quest, Countdown to Destruction. Tommy, Kim and the other rangers are contacted by the Space Rangers about an attack coming to Earth. Will things go the same way as in the show? Read this one-shot to find out.

Sixth and finally is Crimson Typhoon by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Naruto and One Piece crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Shanks is Kushina’s father and comes for fem. Naruto. She joins his crew and changes things up. It has 8 chapters and is hasn’t been updated since 2014.

I’m getting things ready for Christmas, and I have a recital coming up, but things are normal other than that. So, as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Happy Late Halloween

It’s been another week, friends. Happy late Halloween and sorry this is late. For me it was a mix of slow and fast, but there weren’t any big issues. I managed to (barely) finish my goal for my quest this month, which was to finish one of the longest S fanfics I had that has over 200 chapters. This was a little harder as I wanted to do it within the current rules of the quest.

For a bit of explanation, at first, I was going in alphabetical order. However, then I split up the ones I wanted to read from the ones to listen to. That continued for a bit before I realized there were ones that would take a while to get through and even I can get tired of a story. At some point around Books from the Future (I think), I decided to I needed to change between stories to keep myself interested. So, if there were many fics that had the same story (like Harry Potter) as a main component in it, I would put a story that didn’t have that one in it in-between. Then, I changed that to 15 or 30 chapters depending on how long they were. Eventually after a few small changes, I decided on what I’m using now, which is 400 pages of the current main story (based on length or number of stories) and then 400 of the next non-main story fic. I call the 800 total pages, one cycle.

So, I’m sure many of you are asking, but Matt, how to you know how many pages a Fanfic is? That’s easy, friends. It’s what I have fichub for! I have a large database of fanfic’s that I’ve downloaded for my reading pleasure. I also have the 2015 fanfic archive zip you can find if you look for it, but that thing’s huge and I only mess with it when I’m looking for a specific fic. For the last 5ish cycles I’ve been stuck between the 200ish chap fic that had been my main story and the next main one (that’s a Chinese webnovel that has over 3,000 shortish chapters). My goal for the November is to reach the T’s in the non-main stories. December is to read to the Th’s. Next year is to finally finish this quest (which even I’m not sure will happen because some of the ones left are really long). As for what I’ll do after that, I’m still thinking on it.

So, the first change in my listening is that I finished By the Grace of the Gods Vol 3 and started In Another World With My Smartphone Vol 2. In this one Touya spends time with the girls in his party and ends up traveling to the beastman kingdom. Who will he meet and what adventures will he and his party have? Read to find out! This is a trope-y story, but fun none-the-less.

The only other change I had was that I reached the point where I had read to in A Young Reaper’s Afterlife by L4 of the West and decided to change stories. I decided on The Irregular in Magic High School by Tsutomu Satō. This is because it’s on the list and I wanted to get what I had already read out of the way before I get to it so there’s less to read when I get there.

So, this web novel, turned light novel and anime is about Tatsuya Shiba and his sister Miyuki. This is set in future where magic has been proven to be real and now can be manipulated by technology. The siblings get the coveted First Magic High School, but are separated into different groups based on their test scores. Miyuki gets the highest overall school and is an Honor Student, while Tatsuya has high classroom scores, but low magic scores and is an Irregular Student.

Miyuki is unhappy with this as she knows he’s a great magician, but the tests don’t account for his strengths. Tatsuya is ambivalent to it, but has to deal with the harassment of the honor students. However, both hold secrets that will shake up not only the school, but the world. Fair warning to those who read this, the siblings are closer than siblings normally are and Miyuki has a habit of leaning her thoughts about him to the sexual (but nothing actually happens so far as I’ve read). This is explained later, but I’m not going to spoil an important plot point. If this isn’t something you can deal with, don’t read. Moving on, the anime is fine visually, but there are issues in explaining things (especially about magic), so if you don’t read the novel or manga you might be confused on some things.

Moving on to the quest, first is Changing the Future 1-3 by an unknown author (as in I don’t know currently). This is another one of the reading Harry Potter fanfics that was deleted a while back for actually having the book’s text in them. This one has Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys reading the books at some point before the books start. Remus joins them for the third book, but that one only goes through the chapter, The Knight Bus. It was fine, but I don’t think you’ll really be able to find it.

Second is Chaos Hunter by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Slayers and Supernatural crossover that I’ve talked about here. In it, Lina Inverse is sent to the Supernatural universe and falls in love with Sam while they’re at college. This won’t change anything, will it? It’s fun, but sadly only has 11 chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2015.

Third is a bit farther in the series that started with An Unexpected Christmas Miracle by goodtobealunatic, a Doctor Who AU that I mentioned here. The second fic in the series is Weathering the Storm. This is a Season 3 rewrite where Rose managed to stay with the Doctor. They’re together, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be rough patches. Especially when someone keeps taking the new companion on new adventures.

Third is Of Cruises and Christmas a Time Crash and Voyage of the Doctor rewrite. After leaving Martha behind after dealing with the Master, Rose and the The Doctor have to deal with their own scars from the Year That Never Was. On their way out, they manage to meet a previous Doctor and end up on The Titanic. No, not the Earth one, but a spaceship touring Earth. I mean, just because it has the same name, doesn’t mean that things will turn out the same way, right?

Chasing the Starlight is the actual next one and is the fourth fic in the series and the last of the main stories. It’s a Season 4 rewrite, but as we know with Rose. How will things change with her around? And what’s this, Torchwood even shows up as well!

Fourth is Cheat Code: Support Strategist by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown). This is a My Hero Academia fic where, Izuku doesn’t get One-For-All. Instead, he decides to become a support student at UA. While preparing for it, he meets Mei and they help each other out. However, after he gets in, he intervenes in the USJ incident and takes the name Cheat Code. Now the villains are after him, what will he do? Also, think you know the UA spy, well think again! This is a great completed fic and part of set of fics were Izuku does different things after being told off by All Might under the series, For Want of a Nail.

The final fic for today is Ranma Saotome, Chi Master by SeerKing. This one is here, because I have the fic under Chi Master on my list and I’ve talked about it before here. It’s a Ranma AU where he’s trained by someone else for a year before going to the cursed springs. This changes his attitude and makes it easier for him to get along with Tendos. There are other changes, but you should read to find out. It’s only 24 chapters, but sadly hasn’t been updated since 2018.

Other than the last Mabel Quest I’m working on is the battle 1,000 trainers, that’s it for the week. I hope you have a great week and I’ll see you later this week. May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

Review the Demon Slayer Movie

Hello everyone! It’s been a busier week. Work has been coming to us more as the week goes on. I even stayed late one day to finish off something for the next day. There are still times it’s slow, but that’s because the lady who sends us the work has other work she does and sometimes she has a weird schedule. I never know, but maybe my supervisor does? If so, he doesn’t typically tell us.

I did the Flabébé community day on PoGo and got all three for the yellow and white versions, but sadly only got one of the orange ones. I’ll have to try again in December when they come back for the weekend. The blue and red are in other parts of the world, so I obviously didn’t get any of them.

Anyway, I watched the Demon Slayer movie – Infinity Castle on Friday so I’ll tell you what I thought of it.

[Spoilers]

So, it has great visuals, just like the anime. I’ve completed the manga and from my memory, they did a good job keeping to the plot from it. A friend said 1 to 1, but I haven’t read it recently. I watched the Dub version, because that was what my group wanted to do. Because of that I can’t say how the subbed version sounded, but the dubbed VA’s did a good job. I personally don’t have an issue with them, but many people disliked all the flashbacks, especially how long the last one. My biggest issue with it, other than the fact we have to wait two and four years for the 2^nd and 3^rd movies, is that this honestly could have been a series and not been much different.

It obviously started with them falling into the Infinity Castle. You see the corp. team up start their plan to end the demons. The first fight we have is Shinobu vs. Upper Moon 2 – Doma. She tries her best, but sadly dies against him, just like her sister. Her adopted sister, Kanao finds them rights as she dies and sees her sister give her a signal, then is eaten by Doma. Having read the manga, I know what that meant, but they didn’t finish this fight in the movie.

The next big fight is between Zenitsu and New Upper Moon 6 – Kaigaku. Kaigaku was Zenitsu’s senpai and fellow inheritor of Thunder breathing. Kaigaku couldn’t use form 1, while Zenitsu can only use form 1. Kaigaku couldn’t stand being equal to someone he saw as below him and took the chance to become a demon. This led to their ‘gramps’ Jigoro to commit seppuku, causing Zenitsu to seek Kaigaku out for revenge. Zenitsu seems to be losing, until he realizes there’s not getting through to him and he uses the new Thunder breathing move he made up to kill Kaigaku, though he has many injuries.

The final and longest battle in the movie is between Tanjiro and Giyu vs Upper Moon 3 – Akaza. This is a grudge match because Akaza killed Rengoku in front of Tanjiro and the others. They both take turns trying to kill Akaza, but it’s not doing much because he can sense their ‘fighting spirit’. Tanjiro begins to remind Akaza of someone from his forgotten human memories and wants to kill him even more. Tanjiro eventually remembers something his father taught him and learns how to shut off his fighting spirit. He decapitates Akaza, but he forces his head back on. Giyu knocks it off, but Akaza lives on. However, now he’s starting to remember his human memories.

We learn all about Akaza’s life and how he cared for his sick father, even stealing for him. When he kills himself to give Akaza a better life, Akaza goes a little crazy. Keizo, a martial artist stops him and trains him. Akaza takes care of his sick daughter, Koyuki and they fall in love. They agree to get married, but when he goes away for a night, the neighbor dojo who want the building poison and kill Keizo and Koyuki. Akaza kills all of them and Muzan makes him a demon who wants to be the strongest. Akaza apologizes to his father and adopted family and tries to kill himself. It doesn’t work at first, but then Koyuki appears and they both go to hell together. Giyu and Tanjiro are injured and knocked out, not to mention Giyu’s sword is broken.

Overall, a good, but long movie.

[Spoilers]

After that long movie review, I’ll talk about the changes in what I’m listening to. First off, I finished Reincarnated as a Sword Vol 13. Then, I started relistening to By the Grace of the Gods Vol 1 by Roy. It’s a cute light novel about a worker from a black company who dies and is reincarnated in another world as a young boy. He had many misfortunes in his first life and just wants to be by himself for a while. So, he lives in a forest for three years learning about magic and studying slimes. He eventually is found by the local noble by accident. They convince him to leave live among people. It’s his story in the this new world. However, the three Gods who reincarnated him are researching why his former life was so bad at the whims of Earth’s God. There’re even side stories about what happens to those around him in his previous life.

I finished No Need for Harry by Pheonix Dawn and then listened to The Ad by kb0. It’s a three-part story Harry Potter fic, where Harry finds an ad to deal with pests in the Quibbler after fourth year. He contacts them to take out the death eaters and Vodlie. It’s interesting and doesn’t really say much about what happens after the main part of the story.

I quickly finished it and started listening to The Accidental Bond by kb0. It’s another Harry Potter fic that I’ve talked about here. It’s a Harry/Hermione/Ginny/Gabrielle fic where Harry bonds with girls he’s saved. It’s finished and fairly good.

I also finished Pick Up the Pieces and Rebuild by Umei no Mai and started Broken Dreams by ThunderReborn. It’s a Bleach crossover fic I’ve talked about before here. It’s an Ichigo/Many girls from many stories. He gets the spirits of Kyoka Suigetsu and the Hogokyu after the fight with Aizen and they train him under everyone’s noses. Then he leaves to seek his fortunes. [Content Warning] There is incest, but Ichigo is more than human, so it’s not as skeevy. [Content Warning] It’s ongoing and has 107 chapters and is updated once a month.

Finally, I restarted the section I stopped and added, Princess of Mandalore by L4 of the WEST. It’s a Star Wars and Youjo Senki crossover. Tanya is reborn after her life as the niece of Satine Kryze, Dutches of Manadlore around when Anakin is born. In her efforts to bring her people together, she begins to change things, not only in her territory, but the galaxy. And some people don’t like that. I’ve read most of it, but stopped because I wanted to wait for a situation to be completed. I think it might be soon, so I loaded into my text-to-speech app to listen to.

Okay, I’ll do a quick few ones from my quest as this has become a longer one. The first one is Blacklight by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Forgotten Realms crossover. Fem Harry, Cerridwen accidentally gets reborn as a Drow in Drizzit’s family, but older than him. She escapes first, but they eventually meet up. Sadly only 7 chapters and incomplete.

Second is Blades of an Unlimited Sky by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR and Fate/Stay Night crossover that I’ve talked about before here. It has Shiro as a Tsuna who’s lost his memories. It has 16 chapters and is of course incomplete. Third is Bleach Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Bleach one-shot/short story collection for this author and thus is never complete while they’re still posting. I’ve talked about it before here.

Fourth is actually a lost fic, Boku no Hero Academia – Heroism and Villainy At It’s Best. I don’t know the author because when I went looking for it a little while back for this list, I couldn’t find it. I have the two chapters on my text to speech app, so it is what it is. It’s a My Hero Academia two-shot where Izuku, Himiko and Ochaco get together. It has sex scenes in it, but I’m not gonna put warnings because as far as I know, you can’t find it.

Fifth and final is Bolt Fashion by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a two-shot Harry Potter fic that I’ve talked about before here. Harry becomes a fashion designer and saves the day. That’s literally it, just in more words, but still worth a read.

So have a great week and I’ll see you next week. Maybe it won’t be as long. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.
