Oh, Ranma

Wow! I think I did four devinations without returning to Hearts of Ice, [link] but anyway, here's another pic for Krista Perry's amazing Ranma 1/2 fanfiction Hearts of Ice. Ranma and Akane finially together again.

SPOILER

When she raised her head, her eyes were unreadable; calm and
dark, like the sea before the fury of a morning storm.

Ranma felt a quiet dread fill him. But before he could
utter another word, before he could even blink, she closed the
gap between them in three swift steps, reached up...

...and touched his face.

He froze and gasped in shock as her living hand passed
through him.

He *felt* it. The first real thing he'd felt since he'd
found himself outside of his body. A flickering; a faint bit of
warmth that trembled on his cheek as her fingers passed through
the illusion of his skin.

Akane slowly traced the line of his cheek with her index
finger... and yet she felt nothing. Nothing, except... just a
bit of air that was cooler than the night. And now her eyes grew
wet again, as her expression softened.

"Oh, Ranma," she breathed.
