Old School for Younger Readers!

Anyway, you can find it on MediaMiner here, or on Fanfiction.net here (link goes to chapter 2, because chapter 1 is actually a genealogy full of spoilers).

Ah, that brings up some memories.

AToTW was loosely affiliated with a multi-author collective of Ranma fics from the early 2000s known as "The Altered Destinies." One of them--A Scary Thought (once the engagement is made, Genma tries to dump Ranma on the Tendos to raise, and Soun, suspecting his friend of laziness, insists Genma raise one of his daughters in exchange--in this case, Kasumi)--is still ongoing and would probably not count as old school, but most of the rest are either complete or long dead.

That includes A Very Scary Thought (another work by Bader--same premise as A Scary Thought, but with Nabiki instead of Kasumi), Switching Heirs (similar premise, but with Gendo raising Ukyo and Ranma staying with his mother), Most Unlikely of Friends (early meeting and friendship between the Tendo Family and the Chinese Amazons) and others.
