Oh wowww

Wow. That was intense. I liked the transparency Ranma gave her about his love for her...and her musings in the begginning were very emotional. i identify with her-I had alway s thought of her as a deep character in the manga. I like how Ranma has a passionate side. Beautiful story.

LOVE THIS! 3

ay esta historia me encanto esta genail

I like the story :)

The first half of that fic was just so heartbreaking. I know it really swirled the emotions in me and made me teary eyed. Some people just don't understand that after long periods of repeatedily telling you things that you believed to be untrue they become such to you. And especially from those you love and trust. And poor akane heard it from so many people and of course she doubted those who said the opposite as they could be thought of unstable or thinking equally the same of everyone. (Hell, there is a reason why subliminal tapes and other such things work-the power of suggestion is an incredible force.)
And I like that ranma kept repeating " I love you" . It made sense after that letter, how much he had believed wrong, and having 1.5yrs to dwell on that alone- how he would want to assure her and make sure he said and to make up for his regret for not saying it all the time before.
And its been driving me nuts every time you said blue eyes. I kept saying "they are grey, dammit!" But then I just looked at some pics and they seem to go through an array of shades so , oh well, we are both right. (However, I still feel more right :) maybe the manga covers always had them grey? Well, whatever. Though these fics have totally have put me in the mood to watch them all as soon as possible since I finally do have them all.) I hope you are now settled in your new home and are inspired to get back to your ranma ff writing. I will get onto read your hp fic ,as I am a sucker for hg timetravel fics, and probably mosey onto dw since I am a rose/doctor fan. However, I aint reading pepper potts and tony stark since ugh and the fact that comic wise she much more smartly decides on a better option. :) well anyway, if you can't guess, I've become a big fan of yours and am devouring your works. I hope new zealand is the fantasy land I dreamed it was.

A short but very intense story.

I can see this happening, especially with how poorly Ranma and Akane communicated verbally throughout the manga. Their actions did betray their feelings even though they verbally denied them, so I can understand Ranma being under the impression that was enough given they had to hide the truth from their fathers. I gathered it was working somewhat for them, as dysfunctional as it was, until whatever point after the failed wedding that Akane's depression really ramped up.

I felt the whole picture of her situation was quite accurate until the point she left, though I'll come back to that. The way she hid it from everyone and only broke down in private rang true to me, as did the feelings of emptiness or numbness. The thing I found harder to understand was why she kept not only training but moving at all.

I'm not saying all depressed people have to be actively suicidal or anything like that, but I have trouble understanding how she had the motivation to do so much once she'd got away and 'freed' everyone from her presence. I suppose assuming someone was on her trail combined with the drive to not be found, and having martial arts such an integral part of her identity explain it to a degree. I just have trouble joining the dots between how warped her thinking was about Ranma and her whole family before she left, and her not simply laying down somewhere and passively waiting to die. She seemed so incredibly sick and then functioned so much better than I'd expected. I know she wouldn't have been thinking rationally... Perhaps she got a little better once she was on her own? Or perhaps my interpretation is skewed too much by my own experiences? Or maybe I missed something seeing as I read this well after midnight?

Regardless, this was a very moving tale and well worth the read. I haven't encountered anything like this before, at least in this fandom. Overall it was very well done.

I love it.

That was amazing! I wish it were longer and you continued the story after they returned home

I love this story ! I wasn't able to find it again after reading it offline.
I'm glad I'm finally able to leave I review.
I like what you did because the situation is very far from what could occure in the manga (it's always kind of shallow) but you manage to make it believable, characters shows behavior respecting the canon set by the manga ! I loved it and it was a pleasure to read it ! :D

Well done! I especially liked the way you had Akane's depression slide into apathy, beside the melancholia - and I hope you told those reviewers who complained about the power levels that what they read was Akanes perception, coloured by said depression, and not your own. :)

There is one line that disturbed me, though:

"I think you are forgetting that an engagement involves two parties. I did not agree, therefore no annulment. As easy as that. You are still my fiancée just as I am still yours."

While I can see that Ranma doesn't really mean it that way (and that it is probably good for Akane at this point to hear that he still considers them a couple), this is actually a rather creepy and stalkerish thing to say; basically, it boils down to "It is up to me to decide when you have had enough." An engagement does indeed involve two parties, but the proper implication would be the opposite: that it is *exactly* *therefore* voided if *either* party decides to pull out. I'm not sure what would be a good replacement - you'd probably want something with a bit more pathos than the point that she, as a minor, doesn't have the legal right to annul it (especially considering what they've previously thought of the legal rights of their parents to engage them) - but I really think you ought to at least rephrase it. Maybe something along the lines of "Whether you're still mine or not, I will always be yours" could work?

I love this sort of sappy, romantic, heart clenching story lines! Especially when it's ranmaXakane cause , really, this couple has more problems then I have fingers and toes. It actually moved the darkness that was my heart (jokes) which never happens so seriously, you should be proud. Xoxo

ahhhh, a little WAFFY never hurt no one, all one-shots should be a least this long, your writing is excellent as always...

Just... woooow! This one-shot was long as hell! But worth all the time, I'd love the way you choose to put Akane and Ranma, it was so entertaining that I didn't get bored or annoyed with the long story, thanks for sharing this with us.

it made me cry. I could feel their emotions like it was mine. So well written.
