In this fic in particular, the Ranma/Akane pairing is... boring.
Ranma does practically everything RIGHT.
Of course, to fit canon, a typical post end-of-manga scene between Ranma and Akane would go:
"Pervert!"
"Tomboy!"
"I hate you!"
"I hate you more!"
*mad, passionate citrus scene*
Admittedly there are several authors *cough*Skysaber*cough* who demonize Akane in all of their works. Oddly I found Ornstead's SI Marty Stu fic set in an alternate Sailor Moon continuity to be enjoyable... until he added Ranma just to bash Akane...
On a similar note: has anyone seen any good Otaku fics lately? that is, an inverse of a SI, much like EPU's Undocumented Features.
For example, real-world author somehow stumbles upon/rescues a girl who uncannily resembles Skuld from Oh! My Goddess!. At first he thinks she's a really good cosplayer. A couple rocky road ice cream cones later, he discovers she's the real deal and dismayed to be in contact with an empty Yggdrasil system. She takes discovering that she's considered fictional poorly.
Another one, that I saw the start of, and it was abandoned: Rei Ayanami finds herself at an anime convention after self-destructing her EVA against Armisael. She wins a costume contest for her plug suit, and is led around by an Asuka cosplayer...
meh it's been a while...
