for some reason that I'm sure made sense at the time, possibly because I'd rather have controlled exposure than surprise myself, possibly because I hadn't depressed myself enough with the García Lorca fanfic the other day, possibly some unhallowed combination of the two, I decided to see if there were any fics for ShindoL's infamous H-manga 変身 (
Henshin, lit. "Transformation", usually translated in this case as
Metamorphosis or
Emergence). I've never actually read it; just reading the summary was bad enough for me, so I won't be taking this next writer's advice.
Not_You Wrote:If you are not familiar with Emergence, I would recommend looking into it first. Like, looking it up if you have a weak stomach, because it’s a seven-chapter descent into raw misery, with sexual abuse, drug addiction, and a bunch of other awful shit. It’s very fucked up in very specific ways, and I personally find it a semi-deconstruction of hentai as a thing. Horrible Horrible Consequences And Sociopathic Teenagers: The Hentai. But it’s still hentai, so I’m going to try to try and throw in some sex scenes, perhaps without my usual regard for what makes the most emotional sense. No exploiting the underage girl, though, there’s been more than enough of that.
This is yet another fix-it crossover with this famous trainwreck: Kaz is back in the homeland on business, and can't quite bring himself to turn away from a child in need.
That's the summary for
Yet Another Installment Of The Constant Kazuhira Miller Blues, one of the five fix-fics I actually read among the 35 (mostly fix-it) I discovered. (I think "Kaz" is Master Miller from
Metal Gear Solid, an ally {with benefits, at least in this version} of Revolver Ocelot.) It hasn't updated since December of 2021, but that still puts it ahead of
The Broken Girl and the Unbreakable Diamond, which left off on June 30 of that year.
Ranuix Wrote:After all the pain and cruelty Saki Yoshida has endured in her life, she decides to end it by overdosing in a subway bathroom.
But the last thing she expected was to be saved by a man with a funny old haircut, and a big heart who shine like a diamond.
WARNING: This fanfiction has spoilers of JoJo first 6 parts and Metamorphosis/emergence.

From June of this year is
Her Second Chance by Perez_K, in which Saki does succeed in overdosing, but is offered transmigration to the world of
My Hero Academia with: a Quirk that's basically Crusher Creel's absorbing powers; Mineta's place at UA (because, per general opinion of him, she deserves better than having to share it with the grape-headed perv); and the promise of winning Deku's heart. I only got partway into the first chapter before the meta got too heavy, but I might try again.
CrumbusScrungus1993 Wrote:What If Kiryu happened to save Saki from her fate at the hands of her former classmates? What would happen afterward and would she happen to bump into other Yakuza characters? This series answers those questions (and maybe more I'm kind of doing this as I go so idk maybe I'll throw some hypotheticals as well with Ichiban and Ryuji maybe)
That's the summary for the
Yakuza/
Ryuu ga Gotoku crossover
Like a Metamorphosis, last update July 12. (A lot of these fics kind of trail off. In the case of Miller Blues, it was trying to decide on a punishment for Saki's classmates that's both proportionate to their actual offense and karmically satisfying to the reader; I suspect that's the case for a lot of them.)
Tenkura Wrote:After the death of Saki Yoshida, a private investigator is hired by a guilt-ridden mother to go down the rabbit hole of Saki’s life to apprehend the criminals responsible for her self-destructive descent. On the journey of discovering the hell Saki had to suffer before her death, guilt, rage, and revenge builds inside of the P.I. He begins to teeter on the line on the law to deliver fair justice to the criminals the law could not be counted on to provide.
Finally (for now),
Metamorphosis Volume II: Promised Retribution was last updated on the 16th inst. and runs the risk of updating again at some point.
