Second idea is a Ranma fic.  We all know that Genma is not an honorable

man.

 What if, right after his wedding to Nodoka, he went out and slept with
 another woman.  She bore his child, and he never recognized it as his.

 Now,

 to make this all fun, let's say this other woman was Achika Hibiki.  That
 makes Ranma and Ryoga half brothers.  This can either be a great fun fic,
 with Ryoga and Ranma actually learing to live and work together, or this
 could bring about a violent end to the Ranma/Ryoga fight.  Either way, one
 thing is assured.  Genma is going to die.

I might borrow this but I doubt I could blow it up into a full story line of
its own.
