there's a couple of crossover ideas i had that i don't think
anyone's done. i'm just tossing them out there as these are
two which i don't think i can fit into AVSB...

 "Remember, Akane, this was YOUR idea." 
Ranma-chan grumbled and pulled her top off. 

 "Remember, Happosai, you'll stop interfering 
with the wedding if he does this!" 

 "I remember, I remember." Happosai wiped
the leer from his face with considerable effort. "After
we finish up here. Now just let me put this on you,
Ranma..."

 "How embarrassing." Ranma blushed but
had to admit the old lech was holding himself back
quite well.

 Akane watched as Happosai fitted the bra
into place and Nabiki snapped the picture. She also
noticed the suddenly empty look come into Ranma's
eyes. "Ranma?"

 "Now, Ranma." Happosai pulled a tiger
striped pair of panties out of a sleeve. "Put these on."

 "Hey!" Akane turned towards Happi,
then back to Ranma as Ranma slipped pants and
boxers off and took the panties from Happosai. "HEY!"

 Nabiki just shrugged and continued to
take pictures.

 "HEY!" Akane repeated, starting to lunge
forward as Ranma started putting the panties on.

 Happosai's pipe slapped into her back,
the aged martial arts master moving faster than 
anyone his age had a right to. "Just stay still and
watch, Akane-chan."

 "Just out of curiosity," Nabiki said after
a moment. "What was all this about. And why is
that bra falling off?"

 "That. That was a cursed Training Bra.
As for the panties. Those are the legendary cursed
panties of Torajima! By putting them on, Ranma-chan
will be cursed forever after to be a cat-slave! As for
the bra falling off. Well, it is a training bra, and with
Ranma-chan now being completely submissive... 
Besides it won't fit anymore anyway."

 Nabiki's eyes grew wide as she watched
the transformation take place. She could hear an
involuntary sob from Akane. No, there would be
no need to interfere in the wedding anymore.

 It wasn't enough to keep Nabiki from 
continuing to snap photos.

CROSSOVER: "Dragon Pink" + "Ranma 1/2"
=======================
 "STUPID!" Ranma slid inside Kuno's
guard and struck out. "You think after the last time
you used a magic sword, that I'd even wait for you
to get the speech done?"

 The first strike disarmed the kendoist.
The second strike laid the unfortunate Tatewaki
Kuno out on the ground beside the koi pond.

 "I don't trust magic. It ain't done ONE
good thing in my experience," Ranma announced
to his fallen opponent. "Now if it could cure that
uncute tomboy of trying to cook for me or do 
something else useful."

 Akane had just picked the sword up
when she heard the comment. "RANMA!" She
swung the scabbarded blade at his head, fully
intending to give a relatively minor reprimand.

 The scabbard flew off as if it had 
been jet propelled. Akane watched in horror as
Ranma almost twisted out of the way in time.
As the blade inserted itself into his ribcage.

 Ranma screamed, drawing the 
attention of even those who had not been
watching the fight. 

 Akane tried to release the blade,
tried to make her hands let go. As she felt
something flowing from Ranma into her.

 Even after the dessicated corpse 
of her fiance hit the ground, Akane found she
couldn't let go of the sword.

 "There's no blood," said Nabiki
in a shocked tone. "Why is there...no..."

 Akane looked herself. There was
no blood near ...what used to be Ranma. 
There was also no blood on the sword,
which remained a black so deep it seemed
to drink the light in and leave the whole yard
a little colder.

 A voice seemed to whisper in her
head, urging her on to greater and greater
carnage. She could be invincible. She could
be the greatest fighter in the world.

 All she had to do was continue
to feed the sword. The sword Stormbringer.

CROSSOVER: Elric of Melnibone + Ranma.

tempting moment."

AVSB 3b is at the prereaders. i've been
advised to go for an Ukyou murders Ranma
in his sleep ending for Featherbrite's Tale
(i'm thinking about it as i admire the writer's
work even if he has an unfair pro-Akane bias)

also a "Spells R Us" story has been added to
the list to follow up, while I've dropped the
Akuma story.
