The widower Soun Tendou's only child, Akane looked up at the strange woman
who had materialized out of her mirror a few minutes ago and said, "Oh, I
wish I had a wonderful big sister like you."

This is subtle and complex and delightful, Henry...  a three-way quantum
decision point.

Fork 1:  Belldandy becomes Kasumi, standard Ranma plot ensues, though where
Nabiki comes from, I haven't a clue.

Fork 2:  Akane becomes Skuld, standard A!MS plot ensues.  Kinda.

Fork 3:  Akane becomes Christopher Angel...

You realize, there are possibilities above and beyond a simple spamfic in this
single sentence?  Consider how a fic exploring all three timelines might come
out...
