And here is the Ranma poll. Yes, there is a third choice on here, the Mobuseka/Ranma cross. I have a hankering for some Kasumi-ness for some reason. Not a big deal, but I figure with all the mental damage I’m going to do to myself going over my past fics, formatting and transferring stuff to A03, I deserve some fun.
I won’t vote for it unless it has a chance to win and considering that Stallion will get a ¼ carry over of 362 I don’t see that happening, but you never know. This poll will end on the 19th.
I was about to say I had figured out how to limit my chapter size for Ranma fics, so I could stick it in between the Patreon poll winner and the HP fic, but then I remembered Butterfly Wings Chapter 8… NOPE. Still, I have a better track record of keeping chapters below 35,000 for Ranma fics… mostly.
Stallion of the Line – Ranma/One Piece crossover: Sanji and his attempts to flirt are paying off right up until it isn’t, after which his day goes from glorious to blood-soaked rather quickly, forcing him to fight to his utmost against both his ‘chivalric’ instincts and a foe who is well beyond him at present. Franky proves the mind is more dangerous than anything else in a running battle, while elsewhere, a group of Fishman pirates roll a 0 on their threat assessment, and Robin proceeds to make the acquaintance of another princess, listening to some recent history before a shark comes clean and is shouted at. The Cipher pol agents continue to watch events, pleased with how things are going. Ranma and the princes close in on their quarry as the king descends from on high, much to the chagrin of many. A small fish is squished, and Ranma becomes aware of trouble back on Fishman island. Events there continue, while he is rushed back, before lighting flashes across the island, and Smoothy finds herself faced with a burgeoning Yonko.
Butterfly Wings = A Horse’s Hoofs – Ranma/DC crossover: Ranma and his trio of attractive companions arrive at a real western ranch, where General Eiling’s extended family is ready to put their best feet forward in the way of food, and places for the girls to change into more appropriate, non-exercise type attire. Cassie proves to be a music mavin while Ranma and Eiling have a conversation over steak, Kara makes friends with a few scientists, and Kori makes friends with everyone and all the animals she can. Impressions are made, romantic moments had and patents put in place along with offers of help made, before news interrupts the fun of someone looking like Bizarro making trouble in Metropolis. Kara decides she should be the one to handle this, while Ranma and the others go with her, with Ranma and Kori pushing their flight speed well beyond anything they’ve used before, arriving on the scene to give Bizarro and his new companion a very, very bad day.
Alto Out There – Ranma/Mobuseka Crossover: With Kasumi doing the talking, Ranma and her alter-dimensional origins come out, to the confusion and disdain of Duke Redgrave. Ranma responds to their disdain poorly, but Kasumi sooths things over, before a plan is made to employ both of them for a time. Angie and Ranma have a moment as he starts his official duties as her trainer, and Kasumi takes over the kitchen so smoothly she lives people wondering how it happened. Tea is had, and shared, before the trio and the other survivors of the events I the dungeon travel to the capital. The Queen makes Ranma and Kasumi’s acquaintance prematurely, while Julius makes an ass of himself, and Angie has a moment until Ranma interrupts it. A formal audience is had, and Ranma’s capabilities both shown off and underestimated, and a king chastised, before Angie decides the trio should look into another dungeon where strange mechanical monsters are known to appear on the lower floors…
