ended up wandering into the Goddess Relief Office shortly after Ranma and
Akane's wedding? (I'm making the premise at this point that Ryouga has
never met Akari, as i know very little about her, so he's still very
depressed.) Next, by some fluke (accidential collapse of the building,
clerical error, <<insert deus ex machina here>>) the former God of
Unrequited Love is disposed of, and Ryouga gets the job. And so, after
hearing his tale of woe Ryouga's tutor, the infamous "Goddess of Love",
Urd decides to supplement his studies by having him assist her in "fixing"
the mess left behind in Nermia. Well, what do you think?

Sounds somewhat "Handyesque" as in Brett Handy, author of "Oh My God!"  where in a mortal becomes an AMG God because of a wish and a recent demise among deities.

Perhaps the story you were reading is "Too Good To Be True"  Brett's crossover of his AMG universe with the Ranmaverse.  The first chapter is available in the fanfic section of his web page, as well as at Peter Ward's Urd Shrine Fanfic Library webpage.  Ryouga is one of the first Ranmites Brett's God has dealings with.

I know I'm not going to try to write this because I couldn't think of a clear way to differentiate it from what Brett's already written.

I do agree though that Ryouga is a compelling character, his intro episodes are some of my fav's from the original Ranma TV series.
