Looking for a fic

[classicdrogn]

Obce upon a time, late 80s to early 90s, I read a professionally published sci-fi piece where the premise was the crew of a human exploration ship finding the ruins of alien world after alien world where civilization had fallen and eventually everything not sealed inside super-tech metamaterials was devoured by the ever escalating war of evolution between weeds and bugs, having been kickstarted during that world's golden age by pesticides and engineering of monoculture crops. I'm reasonably sure it was part of a multi-author omnibus paperback, and from the style may have been written a decade or so earlier, but probably not before the mid-60s. That may of course be completely off.

I'd hardly call it some landmark in my life, but it occasionally pokes its face out and makes an annoyance of itself, like trying to put a name to the face of an old schoolmate you might have talked to twice but definitely not three times.

Sorry, can't say that it rings a bell.

 I HEARBY CHALLANGE...<cough>  OK, enough of that.  I have two, maybe three Harry Potter fics I have some memories of and I'd like to find them again (if they haven't been pulled from the net).

The first is one where Harry is a Metamorphmagus (or however it's spelled) and Tonks teaches him to switch genders.  Harry ends up pretending to be a French pen pal from the Triwizard, and in the great hall bitch-slaps Draco then complains about chipping a nail.

The second one I have good memories of is one where Harry introduces allergic reaction testing for potions, and has things like Snape no longer having greasy hair and much better attitude, and the Malfoy's no longer using a predefined recipe potion for veela looks and being much nicer in general.

The third one (which I think is part of the first fic) is where the Twins get Harry a coat with thunder elemental properties and with a bit of rubbing of arms/hands on the sleeves (static like) allows Harry to throw lightning bolts.  Maybe on Ron.

Did anyone ever come across any of these?  Because in rereading the thread I find I still want to read them.

And since it's been nearly four years since the last time I asked, has anyone rediscovered any of these fics?  Or have they simply gotten lost deeper in the mists of history?

And since it's once again been nearly four years since the last time I asked, has anyone rediscovered any of these fics? Although honestly, it's been like ten years or more since they first appeared in this thread, and all trace of them has probably been lost. Still, I need to ask.

And now another fic I'm searching for:

This is an old one. I would be surprised if it came out later than 1999; it's almost certainly an FFML-only or FFML-adjacent fic. It's a Ranma/Sailor Moon cross -- but not a Fuku Fic. The new senshi is Nabiki, who is Sailor Earth. That's about all I remember about it, except for a general impression that she's much nicer than canon, but she maintains her canon personality as part of her secret identity. This one's been bugging me for years. I know it had at least a few released installments; I remember a scene where Nabiki has to respond to some kind of emergency. But that's about all I can dredge up from my memory.

Does that ring a bell for any of you who, like me, is an old fanfic grognard?

I think this might be it, but I also can't shake the feeling I've mentioned this fic before in the search thread. 
It starts out from Nabiki's point of view and short time later Ami shows up to call her "back to action". Can't remember if Nabiki is Sailor Earth in it  or not, but the fanfic is 

"A call to Action  by Mke Koos" .
