'''''No Tendo: A Fusion Tale''''' is a [[Mega Crossover]] fanfic by "Kestrel" (AKA Gregg "Metroanime" Sharp, the driving force behind ''[[The Bet (fan work)|The Bet]]'') and "Kender_SCI". ''No Tendo'' revolves around characters from ''[[Ranma ½]], [[Sailor Moon]]'' and ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', with guest appearances by characters and concepts from many other sources. Originally written [[Round Robin]]-style in an episodic [[Choose Your Own Adventure]] format on the (currently defunct) [[Anime Addventure]] between 2004 and 2013, it has since been cleaned up into a more conventional narrative in forty chapters and reposted on [[Fanfiction.net]].
[[In a World]] where Soun Tendo never became a student of Happosai and never met Genma Saotome, Genma still manages to escape the clutches of his evil master. He meets and marries Nodoka, and then takes their young son Ranma on what will be a fateful trip -- but not the one it might have been in another world. Here, Genma meets Souichi Tomoe, and despite the differences between the martial arts master and the physicist, they become fast friends, to the point that Genma [[Arranged Marriage|affiances]] young Ranma to Tomoe's toddler daughter Hotaru. Ranma is, of course, not told this. But Genma does inform him that he is to train to protect Hotaru, and to always be there for her.

And from there, things start getting ''complicated''.
Unfortunately while it's an enjoyable read, ''No Tendo''{{'}}s greatest weakness comes from its episodic and round
And it doesn't conclude so much as simply [[Dead Fic|''stop'' in mid-story]], with every plotline set in motion ''still'' in motion. As such it has one of the most unsatisfying ends to be encountered in fan fiction, with not even a ''hint'' of a possible resolution in sight. That final page is a complete let-down, especially since so many plotlines were set in motion and effectively abandoned. But until you get there, it's a fun ride.
Line 133:
* [[Latex Space Suit]]: Hotaru, Ranma, Minako and the children from Refuge get them as "school uniforms" when their school moves into a salvaged spacecraft.
* [[Left Hanging]]/[[No Ending]]: The conclusion, for lack of a better word, of the story. It doesn't finish so much as just halt abruptly, with no resolution to any of the plot threads in motion. This is attributable, at least in part, to an apparent case of [[Author Existence Failure]] on the part of one half of the two-writer team behind the majority of the story.
* [[Male Pack Mule]]: Ranma gets recruited by Hotaru and several other women when they decide to introduce KOS-MOS to shopping. Despite doing so in what amounts to a Bronze Age marketplace on a distant planet, Ranma still ends up laden with all manner of purchases.
* [[Mass Super-Empowering Event]]: Something happened during the assault on the Dark Kingdom to change a few people, including Sousuke Sagara and Colonel Maybourne.
* [[Miranda Rights]]: Averted. When <s>Jadeite</s> Jedite is captured (as an enemy combatant, in Japan), he's told by a Marine, "Since you're an alien monster preying on humans -- you have no rights, you shouldn't remain silent, and anything you say can keep you from being getting severely hurt. You're under arrest."
