My Dying Wish
a Ranma1/2 fanfiction by Ukyou Kuonji

Sigh... be careful what you wish for, I guess. And I have been
wishing for more Ranma-Ukyou fics. That was wonderfully done,
a downer and an upper of a fic at the same time, joyful because
Ukyou, for at least a short time, got what she wished for, and
sorrowful because of the inevitable outcome and the sad fact that
it's probably one of the few ways Ukyou could actually 'win'.

(Terminal cancer or not though, whether everyone else accepted it
or no, I can bet that Kodachi wouldn't...)

I must admit, I found it curious that Akane started calling
Ukyou 'Ucchan'. I guess being terminal breaks some barriers.

And the way Ukyou goes just seems to be, well, Ukyou.  'Better to die
in the arms of your lover than to die alone'.

A fic with death that actually affected me. Wow. I remember apologising
to Zen because I wasn't at all affected by the end of Bitter End. Death
in stories have never really moved me, due to certain things that have 
happened in my life, but this one did. Perhaps because of the way she
went, not just happy smiles and "I love you"s, but with a "let's have one
last coupling" attitude that seemed so right.

Rarity of rarities, this one I'll actually keep and not delete
(I almost never keep a fic, no matter how good I think they are).
