A fun treasure trove of awesome. This was an unexpected treat that I really should have noticed sooner. Even in a random hodgepodge of ideas, your work stands out.

Nomad's by far my favorite, it just conveys the emotion of a deep characterization piece while at the same time retaining a feel of lighthearted adventure. The others are by no means anything less than great, as well. Great work as usual

Not bad though I always felt it was kind silly how easily sealed all other demons were. No village wide destruction no real effort, just a nice little shopping trip for ulltmate power. I also feel that Konoha really failed to think this plan through using Naruto in this case. If he truely got the memories of his parents.. and then memories of his adopted father Minato.. he's going know the village did this to get a weapon and further his father agreed to it.

It's worse then the 'Kyuubi attacked and your father sealed it in you' it's 'your dad had no balls and bowed to old men seeking power and ** the demon off.' And ofcoures house arrest? Didnt even kill those involved that brought such death to Konoha? More then likely those responsible fled the village at first word of failure if they could or in safest bunkers.. not fighting and dying.

I did like the bloodline memory thing. Powerful but not insanely so and makes alot of sense. Kind reminds me of the Gou'ald's genetic memory from Stargate Sg1. Though I did feel it's always funny that such powerful bloodlines.. seem always be restricted to one or two people. Are they nearly sterlie? Are they so dumb they stop at one or two kids when the surival rate for their bloodline is horrible since everyone wants it? None the men have a wandering eye and sleep with a few hookers to 'spread the line out'? Truely funniest bit in Naruto-verse is the love of bloodlines, but beyond the Hyuuga, and pre-massacre Uchiha the line is limited to one or two people who risk their lives as regular ninja.

Interesting idea, couldn't really believe the Dursley abuse though. Not that it could not happen, but it just really clashes badly with what we know of canon. Harry had accidental magic from something as little as being pushed down by Dudley at the zoo or Aunt Marge insulting Harry's mother. To say he wouldn't lash out magicaly at a beating of that magintude.. especialy when he started to fight back is a bit hard believe. It's a issue even in canon, that the acidental magic acts up in rather minor events, but totaly absent in life or death situations but still one biggest reasons I usualy believe Dursley's abuse did not include physical beatings.

I do believe Dumbledore had to cover up what ever neglect and at least emotional abuse the Dursley's inflicted, their just not smart enough to lie well enough to hide Harry from school officials, neighbors, cops etc. No one would believe harry's the bully instead of Dudley without magic helping.

I was some what disapointed with Dumbledore thus far, he got caught utterly red handed criminaly abusing a boy.. the BOY WHO LIVED no less. and still given 'a way out' and wasn't instantly kissed or put in jail? Threatening to bring him to justice as far as Amelia went? She supposively cared for harry and wouldn't even see justice done?

I think this idea could go places, but as of what's here it's really nothing but a list of rather common events in Azkaban and Lord harry fics so far.

As always, a great loves story with Ranma and Kasumi there, and always great to see Ranma take control of his life, with the bonus of seeing it happen with Kasumi as well. Glad to see her go off on her father after she got more info, and wondering if she'll ever have the love and respect for him that she did.

Holy crap! Should have seen that coming as soon as Padma and Pavarti were named and aged.

Oh well. Infinitely interesting anyway. Next!

Oh, man, even your random stories borne from your odd ideas are incredibly detailed, fleshed out, and a joy to read! I really love the Ranma/Kasumi dynamic, and the way you've built up Nomad is quite awesome. Ranma's observations during his "dream" sequence are quite entertaining, and despite how different his behavior seems, you still make it believable. Hell, after that disaster of a wedding, I would expect his mind to be a little frazzled. It's a little bit of a surprise how he handles it all, but his "It's a dream, screw it!" attitude helped make the transition more believable. It certainly helped that you discuss his full reversal in intimacy with Kasumi in the first chapter. I wonder how panicked Ranma must have been the first morning after he and Kasumi had left and he'd realized his "dream" had been quite real. :D

Your inclusion of the Hellboy universe was rather interesting; don't think I've seen that crossed with Ranma before. I love the byplay between the foursome as they make their way to the temple. I bet Hellboy and Ranma have had a lot of rather hilarious banter pass between them. Seeing a vibrantly-characterized Kasumi interacting with them is also quite marvelous.

I did a bit of hunting, as you've developed Realms into quite an epic story of different series (with Progeny a good second), and I discovered that Sharan Kang is an actual character from a sci-fi novel. I've never read "The Warlord of the Air", but the way events transpired in Nomad makes me want to check it out. Not to mention it's a rather brilliant yet non-redundant (read: cliche plot device from a popular, current, topical series) method for shuffling Ranma and Kasumi to a different time (and dimension?).

Leading to, the inclusion of the Harry Potter-verse. Looking forward to how Ranma and Kasumi manage in a world with abundant magic and witchcraft. I know that Ranma will definitely get into trouble when he tries to locate a cure for his curse in that world.

All in all, a pleasant read, and if you with to continue with Nomad in the future, I would be quite thrilled.

At least he chose the right sister. Kasumi always did want to see the world.
