Thanks for this story, I enjoyed reading it. And I enjoyed your final Author's Notes, because I fully agree with them. I also dislike it when authors use cheap tricks or even no tricks at all to make a pairing come true. I can actually buy (almost?) any pairing, as long as it's backed up and well written. I actually found the trick with Tomoko's curse a bit on the weak side, but if you indeed intended this as a parody, then it is clear why it is so. And for the rest, you did a good job on the writing, so congrats. After you AN reminding that it's a tragedy, I too expected a much more tragic ending, but I'm glad it was not that bad. ;)

... I think if Ryoga ever showed more love for his future son or daughter, Ranko could be so jealous she would kill the baby

I get the distinct impression this story would be better w/o the magic fountain.

Well you know
If i were on ranma's shoes ( situation)
Even i would get sick of life lol
1) fiancee that always fight with violence and loud
2) contant challenger
3) even food may not safe to consume ( refer to akane's cooking and shampoo's potion)
4) kuno sibling

Though the story is really amusing
It give me chill thinking who know somewhere someone's wish may affect mind

A good resolution, and a real fridge horror ending.

holy shit this is deep i mean i kind of knew what i was getting into when i read the title but man i just did not see this coming.

This is a great story, it was only towards the end that I really understood the tragedy aspect. but boy, it really hit home in chapter 12.

I loved this story, it was a very interesting twist on Ryouga x Ranko and was written very well.

What the hell... this story is distubing on so many levels u can't even begin. Good story just really gives me chills thinking about the shit that happened to ranma

Not justified IMO. Whatever?..

... you'd think with all the other stuff going on that tomoko's curse would run into interference.

Even if theirs simply no bringing Ranma back, and I dont want him back being honest I prefer Ranko...

But even then Ryouga could find out about Tomoko hunt her down and slay her would be catharatic.

The sad ending is reminiscent of a cautionary tale

good story so far going to leave off reading it at this point for now , the writing and story is great, enjoy it , but when I read this I just get this irritating feeling, the reason is basicly because of the curse, I just sympathise with ranma even though he doesn't know, mainly because of what she said "you have caused many women un happiness" or w.e , I just tend to get irritated when that kind of stuff happens I mean, hes been through plenty of shiz, his fiances are quite big causes for them, and most people don't are how he feels or how bad he has it. so adding this kind of thing to it just to make him unhappy is irritating to me I guess I feel like this is cus I "feel" for ranma, even though I have said all that I will most likely carry on reading it ;p just not all at once prob ;p still good story and well written.

I can just see this
10 years have passed since Ranma died and Ranko took his place and just after Ranma & Ukyo's tenth birthday had passed Saffron arrived in Nerima & in that battle the entire NWC fought him and Kimma and it was during that that

Ukyo received a concussion and a broken leg, Akane was paralyzed from the waste down, Shampoo lost one arm & partial use of the other, Mousse received burns (think Deathlock in Agents of SHIELD)
however it was when Saffron killed Ranko that the battle ended as
Ranma & Ukyo Hibiki combined there Perfect Shishi Hokodans with there father's killing Saffron

Meanwhile Tomoko was at a bar in Asgard visiting her friend Loki when two figures walked in and upto her

"Tomoko"

"Yeah who wants to know"

"Ranma" one said as he removed his cloak "Ranko" said the other as she removed his cloak "& we owe you for what you did to us" they cracked their knuckles

"What you can't be here"

"Oh yes, we can"

"You see you made like Kasumi which mean I gave up the art so when Saffron came for a rematch I died"

"& I was freed from our soul, so Kami-sama made us God & Goddess as an apology for not stopping you"
