EDIT: Oh, and there's now Chapter 10 of That Time I Was Reincarnated... up, at least on AO3, freshly posted last night.
It's been a while since I stumbled over one of his accounts, but it has that familiar feel...

Journey (Ranma/Rifts) has updated after a two year hiatus. According to the Ranma fanfic wiki, the first chapter was posted back in 1999. I may actually have started reading it back then.
How long has it been since I did one of these?
Wikikenna (retrieved August 22, 1871) Wrote:The First Battle of the Seine River was fought in August AD 1043 by the combined forces of the Hooligan Tribe of Berk and William Haddock, Duke of Normandy, against the forces of several rebel Norman barons, led by Sir Henry of Brittany, son of Regent Godefroy of Brittany, in their efforts to seat Gui de Brionne, the son of Reginald I, Count of Brionne, on the ducal throne of Normandy.
The battle—technically a series of holding actions along the length of the Seine River at various bridges near Rouen—was a strategic victory for the Hooligans, despite the loss of the Hooligan Marshal, Spitelout Jorgenson I, and a number of other men and dragons to the attacking Francian forces. The holding actions allowed for the strategic goal of complete evacuation of the various Jewish communities from North Francia to the Alban Isles…
…often referred to as the opening battle of the Norse Reformation, the battle was instrumental in a Norse cultural shift of its warrior ideal from aggressors to protectors…
In Vedrarfjord, Hákon gets the briefing from Padráig on his faith-based screw-up (detailed in our last inciting exstallment), and they're starting work to make it right when the news comes in from Normandy. Hiccup and his family arrive on Berk to get the same news. In the mountains east of Almatu, chief Özhan plans a strike against Drago. Back on Berk, the newly-appointed Marshal Astrid draws up her plans for the next battle(s). In Sir Henry's encampment outside the walls of Rouen, Rivkah, recently forcibly baptized, tends to a prisoner whose value she doesn't know. At his smithy on Eigg, Gobber accepts the commission of a thousand-foot chain for Astrid's plan, then accepts Boarguts' delivery of one (1)

Wellebou, not far from the action, one Father Pierre sees a vision, which he misinterprets even as he understands it. In the Ingerman house on Berk, Heather laments the loss of her Jewish clerks, even as she understands them needed elsewhere, and contemplates alternatives moving forward. In London, Magnus attends an emergency witan to discuss the resettlement of the Francian Jews, which discussion gets quite spirited at times. And we close on Berk, where a crowd that had been waiting for Heather now has an awkwardly-timed, but reasonable-sounding, request for Stoick...

Has there been ANY chapter without them in this story, though?

True, but in this case, it's also an explicit hate crime against a real life group, which hits me that little bit harder than hate crimes against a fictional minority. I know the shit mutants are dealing with in the story is realistic, but there's that extra layer of separation that makes it easier for me to process and take in. This chapter made me need to walk away from the computer for a few minutes to calm down.
