Geez, where to start?

Okay, first, when I decided to take a chance and come back to Ranma fanfiction after like three years away, I did not expect my first find to be that rarest of treasures: a competently written, enjoyable Ranma/Nabiki fic.

Seriously, there are like... maybe four of them. Five, now. That's like 0.01% of Ranma fanfiction on the Internet. Probably because the canon characterization of Nabiki is inimical to romance, but I think you got her closer to in-character than is usually possible in this kind of fic, so go you.

I also have to give you kudos for your OCs. They aren't just tolerable, they're likable. I'm already looking forward to reading more of them—especially Asahi. Well done.

So yeah... favorited, followed. Looking forward to more. :)

A Twist and a couple conundrums, I like where its been, anxious to see where its going.

I just finished reading the third chapter of your story, and I think that you're off to a pretty good start. It reminded me of the song "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" by Elvin Bishop: "Free, on my own is the way I used to be, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me..."

I'm enjoying the story so far. I like the pacing, but to this point you've only been dealing with Ranma and Nabiki with a little Kasumi on the side. It will be interesting to see how you cope with the rest of the cast of characters when they start poring in.

I was in Tokyo in December. I wish that I could have found Jiro's tea shop. Lemon with Earl Grey, really? And two sugars is a bit much is a bit much for me, but Nabiki is known to have a sweet tooth.

Good start, I'm quite curious to read how Nabiki can solve the mess. Who will end up with who and where, is the question, not to mention how entertaining it will be for the when.

I'm looking forward to read more of this work.
Happy Writing!

Boxes and Screwdrivers and hating pears...I see what you did there

brilliant dialogue, especially the internal arguments. love this story.

That last line seems to imply expected return visits.

This chapter was really cute and just made me feel all warm and fuzzy, or was that the wine?

Really enjoyed this starter chapter as it had me laughing hard enough to cry at times.

love it, smiling while reading

Absolutely brilliant. Also, you did more for Kasumi in one scene than Rumiko Takahashi did in the entirety of the original and that is awesome.
And I somehow remembered the mangaka's name without a moment of hesitation or fact checking...though I did have to make sure I got it right.
I feel that Jiro's tea shop is a reference, though, and I am finding it impossible to remember...help?

Excellent chapter! Good job exploring Nabiki's conflicting thoughts. I also liked the odd way Ranma sees his girl side.
I thought Kasumi was perhaps a bit too perfect here. It's nice to have her on Ranma's side, but I miss her cluelessness. This Kasumi doesn't seem like someone who would cheerfully wave goodbye to a phoenix that had been terrorizing the household and say "Bye bye, birdie!"
Overall a nice progression from the earlier chapters. I can't wait to see what damage Genma and Akane have done to each other during their training.
Thanks for posting!

Except for the part with Akane, I found this a very good chapter. Excellent character development, good mix of humour (loved Jiro) and seriousness. About Akane though... She gave no impression at all of someone who had made a difficult and emotional choice. Admittedly her section was small, but very jarring because of that. It was if nothing had happened between herself and Ranma.
Nabiki, on the other hand, is definitely wrestling with her own demons. Be they Drunk Nabiki or a little voice calling "mine". Please continue the story, and thank you for the work you've done so far!

Oh my, Oh Akane, you have no idea the hell your going to be in.

I'm loving this so far, and I can't wait to see what new craziness will be unleashed due to the action of Nabiki and Ranma.

Oh the stuff with Kuno will be a joy to see.

Huh, so Jiro is like a less creepy version of Yoko from xxxholic? I like.

Curious to see just how the Kuno situation progresses, heh, I can just see Ranma suffering from Kuno wanting to "hang out" with his new little brother. :D And oh lord, Akane is gonna regret those last words of hers'.

Also, once again I'll state that I'm enjoying your take on Nabiki's personality. Nice to see that while she's considering her situation and her emotions, yet hasn't gonna all... emo? No, angsty, that's the word I'm looking for.
