Episode 471: Harry Potter and G.I. Joe: The Philosopher's Stone, Chapters 3-4

PPS, the Roboskull is real, lives on the dark side of the moon and is coming for you

We join our hero, Harry Potter the boy wizard as he leads a covert strike against a group of revolutionaries aimed at breaking up an arms deal that ends with him achieving a double-digit bodycount. Now you might be staggered at that idea, but trust me, it’s far from the stupidest part of the fic. Instead, we're treated to the sheer magic (joke not intended) that its Lily Potter's insane paranoid manifesto which will no doubt end with the revelation that Dumbledore is a lizard person. So grab your name-band firearms, your hardened milspec laptop and your hall pass for the second half of Harry Potter the G.I. Joe: The Philosopher's Stone. Also trust nobody, filter your water, and never leave home without your tinfoil hat.

Episode 470: Harry Potter and G.I. Joe: The Philosopher's Stone, Chapters 1-2

If this ends with G.I. Joe in court fighting for custody of Harry Potter, then this fic it will all be worth it

It’s rare that a fic gives you its entire premise in the title, but yet when you’ve got one called Harry Potter and G.I. Joe, you should probably know exactly what to expect. Even then, you’ll probably end up being surprised when Scarlett (heart-shaped face, high cheekbones, emerald green eyes, copper-red hair) decides that she’s going to move heaven and earth for a boy that she has only just met and who has spent all that time unconscious. So while everyone is shocked that two redheads exist in the world and the Dursleys suffer grisly deaths we’ll be describing characters’ clothes in stupidly elaborate detail for the first portion of Harry Potter and G.I. Joe. Features a bulldog and/or Dreadnok!

Episode 469 - Turtles' Big Sister, Chapters 2-3

 Episode 469: Turtles' Big Sister, Chapters 2-3

Her father was kidnapped by hideous brain aliens, but she’s fine now

It’s time for more of the amazing adventures of Pepper, the cat-headed goddess who defines all of existence and without whom we have no meaning. In this exciting pair of chapters, you'll be glued to your seat as Pepper rolls her eyes, lectures people, rolls her eyes, beats up bad guys, rolls her eyes, is completely insufferable at all times and is praised for it, rolls her eyes, is vaguely racist and then, as a break, rolls her eyes some more. Yes, its an utterly thrilling adventure here in the next segment of Turtles’ Big Sister, so you better buckle up and enjoy it. Or else Pepper will roll her eyes at you.

Episode 468 - Turtles' Big Sister, Profile and Chapter 1

Episode 468: Turtles' Big Sister, Profile and Chapter 1

Pepper has spoken! Her word is law!

Meet Pepper. Don’t worry if you have no idea who she is, as the fic will open with a ten-page infodump giving every detail about her appearance, the clothes she always wears, how she ranks her siblings, her long list of enemies, her favourite burrowing mammal and her thoughts on classical Chinese literature. And if you get through all of that you might just care about the fic which consists of regurgitated scripts with Pepper crudely added into them like some sort of Lucas recut. So get ready to enter the Pepperverse for Turtles Big Sister. Really, the entire premise is there in the title.

Episode 467 - The Neon Lily of Night City

Episode 467: The Neon Lily of Night City

Whoso pulleth this Mantis Blade from this thug’s pelvis is rightful crowned king of England

Meet Harry Potter and Fleur Delacour. He’s a merc who’s main skill is being loud and obnoxious, and she’s a corpo who’s mostly defined by her silly accent. They’re the two dumbest and horniest people in Night City, a fact that this fic will remind you of at every possible moment. Together they’re going to plan a heist, but that’s not what this is all about. Instead it’s about the pair of them trying to jump into each other’s pants at every opportunity while everyone around them tries to join in. So grab your mantis blade, your vending machine burrito and your obvious trap for The Neon Lily of Night City. Eeez very zilly ‘fic, no?

Bonus: Fanfic Summaries

When we sat down to do the fic summaries in A Stranger Named Six, we went through most if not all of the fics we've done in past. Ultimately, we only used those that we thought were the most amusing, or actually functioned as a neat encapsulation of the fic. There were a lot that didn't work for a number of reasons; they didn't work for our purposes, they didn't really accomplish what we were after or they just didn't mean anything. On top of that, we aimed for more 'big name' fics from our history. Ultimately, of the huge list we generated, we only picked a handful of them.

However, in the spirit of fun, here's a full list of all the ones we went through and came up with.

Episode 466 - A Stranger Named Six

Episode 466: A Stranger Named Six

Oh no! Not Surprisingly Chill Ninja! He was my favourite character!

Having ensured a better future for a reclusive billionaire techbro through nuking thousands of innocents, Courier Six is at something of a loss for what to do with his life. Fortunately, a chance encounter sends him hurtling across time, space and reality to another world where he finds the one thing he’s really been missing in his life; hot fox-girl booty. So enamoured is he with this idea that he immediately gets over his wangst about how life is a meaningless void of existential despair and hooks up with the group of obviously evil ninjas because they seem nice. So sit back, relax and have some pizza for A Stranger Named Six. You have to, it’s the rules.
