I had a funny idea today. Just thought I'd share it, see if you can see why
I think this makes a bizzare sort of sense.

A story opens with two men, both red heads, but one much bigger then the
other.
The smaller one has a weasely look to him

Through the dialog, or the story, we find that they are foster brothers
who's father has ordered them to bury the hatchet, or else. It's the or
else that bother them.

Seeing as how they hate each other with a passion, they see no way to
accomplish this. so, on account of their heritage, they start a massive
pub-crawl.

When we join them, they are truly and really drunk, and I mean that in the
Terry Prachett manner, they have gone all the way through being regular
drunk, and out the other side.

They have gotten maudlin, and are now great and good buddies, lamenting all
the wasted years of hating each other.

They reminisce about their boy hoods, when they had gone on many fine
adventures.

It finally reaches the point where they start wishing they could be true
brothers, instead of just foster siblings.

The weasely one has an idea, that seems brilliant at the time, Why not
marry their children to each other, that way they can at least bring their
blood together.

The big one thinks its a great idea, but then voices an objection, all
their children are grown, they'll have to have some more to do it. He gets
up, all set to go and do the deed with his wife, when he notices the
smaller one is not moving.

He asks why, and is told that his brothers wife has told him in no
uncertain terms that if he comes anywhere near her with that look in his
eyes, she'll cut him off at the roots.

There is much muttering about damm woman's lib, and other perversions.

Then the big one comes up with the idea of using some surrogates, like
Uncle use to, both men agree, and to the shock of the bartender disappear
in a shower of gold.


A few hours later, they show up again, and order drinks to celebrate.
Weasely asks what the name of the guy was the big fellow replaced, and he
replies, and asks about the one the short fellow replaced, he also replies.

So, they declare, the two children of this night, will one day meet,and be
engaged.
They make a vow to check in on the Tendo and Saotome families in seventeen
years, then Thor and Loki vanish, back to Asgard, or Ygdrassel, to wake up
the next morning with a splitting head ache, and no idea of what has happened.

Too bad we can't fidle with the dates a little, because if Nabiki isn't
Loki's child...

Cool concept, though I don't see any real reason to bring AMG into it. 
Just use Ranma and conventional mythology for loads of fun.

Honestly though, I'm getting a little sick of seeing Akane identified
with Thor.  I'd make her Loki's kid, just cause you weren't expecting
it.  That could be kind of fun, cause Loki would keep bemoaning the fact
that his daughter acts more like his brother.  Then watch the fun as he
tries to teach her how to be sneaky.

Then I'd have Ranma manage to awaken hereditary weather control powers,
only he can't control them.  Rain clouds follow him everywhere. 
Everywhere.  When he goes inside, they wait around for him to come out. 
Of course, it's all worth it once he masters the "lightning fist".

Then Mousse gets ahold of weapons forged by the dwarves of Norse
mythology.

And of course, in a surprise shocker, it turns out Ryouga is Odin's
son.  (I believe Odin is known as a Wanderer.)

Then Akane gets beaten up by Valkeries because she backtalks them.

Then....

Say, I hope someone goes somewhere with this.
