* [[Dark Fic]]: This story deconstructs the [[Fanon]] "psychobitch" Akane into a real person with a real mental disorder, and then follows this premise all the way to its dark, bloody and horrifying conclusion. It is considered ''the'' definitive ''Ranma'' Dark Fic. |

** Eventually, Ukyo convinces Ranma to join a support group for battered spouses... which is entirely made up of women, most of whom can't understand why this strong-looking man is among them. |

* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]: Perhaps the single most powerful ''rejection'' of this trope in the ''Ranma'' fandom, this fic is the pinnacle of applying [[Reality Ensues]] to the original work's [[Slapstick]] violence. Instead of taking her blows like anyone else would take a light slap upside the head, Ranma was actually and seriously ''injured'' by Akane's abuse, ending up in the hospital ''twice'' over the course of the story. And like many abuse victims, not only did he refuse to get away from Akane or even acknowledge that what she did was wrong, but his passivity led to progressively worse treatment. |
