Hell is a Martial Artist updated.

Nabiki being dealt with is the main event. The AN at the end sums up the situation and the problems inherent with it. I don't think there was any way to elegantly do torturing Nabiki and yes, I'm aware of how fucked up a comment that is. It's about as much justice as Nabiki could hope for with how she tremendously fucked up. It more or less had to happen from a narrative viewpoint, and I think that it's also a character growth moment for several people. This includes Hild; it's looking like Kami-sama intends for him to soften Hild and serve as a counterbalance.

The rest of the chapter's okay. Sorting out who remembers Ranma and who doesn't needed to happen too. I'm surprised Nodoka doesn't but everyone else makes sense.

Bellatrix is in D&D-land, and for all Milo's been able to take advantage of being an out of context problem for the Harry Potter characters, Bella looks to be giving the D&D characters even more grief.

I don't read Harry Potter fanfics, but I clicked on the link and saw the author's note at the end. Hehehhehehehehheh. Does he do those a lot? That amused me.

The D&D tip bits are recent, but there's various notes on mechanics and their applications to the story throughout the story's author notes.

It's a fun story to read, if only for the creative ways he applies the Wizard class to 'reality'

This just finished.  Rather good story too.  I'd rather not go too much into it because I fear I would not do it justice.

edit: superlate typo fix.  Shows me not to post on my phone.
I think we live our lives in other people's hearts and minds. Alone by ourselves we're not very much good at all. But when we let someone else in with their stories and all their sights and sounds and songs and smells and sensations, we suddenly start filling our shelves and boxes with books and books of them and building up our libraries.

Kirei Kotomine meets Kyuubey. Shenanigans ensue over spicy tofu. A fun one-shot.

Child of the Emperor

So long as you can accept the conceit that a repentant Traitor Marine from one of the more infamous Chaos Legions can be given even five seconds to demonstrate his good intentions before getting blammed, this is a really good 40k fic. It's quite refreshing in its way since while it makes no bones about the Imperium being terrible, it's also filled with lots of pretty decent people, with the Space Marines being presented as pretty reasonable in turn. On the other hand few punches are pulled in regards to Chaos (it earns its M rating with descriptions of what happens when a demon of Slannesh is being summoned on an Imperial resort). Worth a read if you'd like some optimism to go with your Grimdark.

Read this fic:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4119917/8/Hakumei

It's actually semi-okay.  I will point out that I'm linking chapter eight instead of chapter one because the fic works better that way.  The premise is crazy, and the justification for it does more harm to the story than good ... so just jump into part two, which is post-prologue.

You miss very little, and it's worth what you do miss. :|

I've read that one.  The writer barely posts anymore, so I suspect that this is all there will ever be of the fic.

I'm in complete agreement about skipping the first part (although I'd probably suggest reading the very first chapter just for the necessary background info).

Updated. I haven't seen it mentioned here, so I'll start by giving the premise. It's another one of those timetravel fics with Naruto mucking up Hiraishin and blasting himself back in time. He gets thrown back to the final hours of the fourth's reign. Surprisingly well done considering Naruto's probably coming into this replacing the fourth instead of being a helpful spectator as is the usual case. It's fairly new, so most of the recent canon developments are taken into account.

Interesting fun stuff.

I'll give it a shot as well.

If you don't mind, though, could you please edit that link so it doesn't point to ff.net's mobile version of the site?  Replacing the "m" with "www" should be all that's needed.

It's not really a big thing, but I just like the consistency.  :)

Wasn't really sure why it was a mobile link in the first place....  Then again, I'm old fashioned, and use my phone mostly as a communication device. >_>
