It took a longer time than expected to finish this, and most of the prereaders were busy when I sent out the finished version last week, so I'm making a second request several months later than the last, and hope this doesn't constitute a problem or violation of policies, in which case I apologise. Constructive input would be very appreciated.
Please take note that this final part of the story constitutes 11 chapters, or over 61000 words, and I personally consider it a massive divergence and leap in quality from the first half. (Hosted at http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/141218 ) The introduction, and first chapter title follow below. ------------- Nabiki & Ranma – Together 4ever - Part II ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nabiki has a plan. Urd has an itchy trigger-finger. Ranma has a life turned upside-down. Ryuu has a duty. Taro has a purpose. Ryoga has problems, and an unwanted nanny. The antagonists have delightful characters. Kuno talks funny. A yarn for those who want to read something experimental, darkly ironic, a bit challenging, and very different. ------------- Ranma ½ © Rumiko Takahashi, Oh! My Goddess! © Kosuke Fujishima, as well as any local licensee affiliates. However everything of my own creation connected to this story, including scenarios, titles, dialogue, text, and any original characters are © to myself, and may not be used without permission. Any similarity to existing people or organisations is unintentional and entirely coincidental, beyond archetypical significance. No animals were harmed through the writing of this story. ------------- Warning: This story will contain a great deal of potentially offensive, politically incorrect, unfamiliar, or emotionally challenging material, virtually regardless of personal disposition, including swearing, disturbing characters and philosophies, innuendo, and graphic violence. Please consider if this is something that you are capable of handling before continuing. It’s using a loose timeframe between scenes, much like the manga itself. Jumps may imply anything from a few hours to several days. The characterisation is also almost exclusively firmly sourced in the manga, rather than the anime, in which several characters turned far less vicious or powerful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The story thus far Nabiki has a plan to use her available resources. Corporate life-sentences, Japanese glass-ceilings, and accountability are very bad words. Urd is a bored, higher-dimensional, time-spinning, semi-amoral meddler with an itchy trigger-finger, and very suspicious views of what constitutes an interesting ‘solution’ or ‘perfect girlfriend’. Ranma momentarily wishes to get out of a circular routine. Uh-oh… Nabiki turns herself into an über-metamorph. Absolute power is kind of neat, and corruption is underrated. Urd gives Nabiki a conscience. She's NOT happy. Urd makes Nabiki obsessed with Ranma. She's really giddy. Peorth isn't pleased. Nabiki puts Ranma in intense hypnotic sex therapy to refocus his affections. Cue to brief lemon segment. Ranma is happy, content, needy, horny, ashamed, angry, suspicious and enthralled. They become a dysfunctional couple! Goofy situations, and wordy character interactions follow. Nabiki thinks it's perfectly normal to torture antagonists. Ranma disagrees, but forgives her ‘cause she's funny and cute. They still have nearly nothing in common, but that hasn’t stopped most people. And now for something completely different… ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The neutral, the bad, and the badasses ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
