A Harry Potter/Hime-chan no Ribon crossover fanfic. Read it from the beginning here.

Tropes used in Ribbon and Stone include:
  • Crossover
  • Gratuitous Foreign Language: Harry's multi-language conversation with Dumbledore in Chapter 3.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: The author has gone on record saying that he never liked Harry losing Parselmouth because of not being a Horcrux anymore. Harry's Thing With Languages is his response to that.
  • Omniglot: Harry displays his ease with speaking seven languages in one conversation in Chapter 3. He is oblivious to his talent, thinking he spoke in English the entire time.
  • Translation Convention: Japanese conversations are written in English with [brackets].
  • Schmuck Bait: Discussed in Chapter 6
