Heart of the Immortal is crossover between Ranma ½ and Blade of the Immortal, along with elements from various other series. Written by Anand Rao it features Ranma as an immortal living with Soun and Family, while getting Soun back in shape and training Akane.
Sadly by this point it is pretty much A Dead Fic.

- Knowledge Broker: Umashi Ojimi controls the most influential and successful underground information network in all of Asia. His clientele include politicians, yakuza, police, military, businessmen, and just about anyone else who needs, and could afford to pay for, information. If it was worth knowing, Umashi knows it. . . or, at the very least, he could find it. From his little office he has access to the fastest computers, the smartest people, and, of course, the most affluent clientele.

- My Greatest Failure: Not being able to save Akira was this for Ranma since it caused Tomoe to lose her passion.
- Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: In universe from Aya’s point of view Ranma comes off like a heartless cad however he was just young and a little clueless and wasn’t ready to get married yet.

- Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Umashi was more than surprised when Ranma walked into his office.
- Sanity Slippage: A combination of her mother’s death and losing her ability to have children sent Aya off the deep end.
- Training from Hell: Training sessions with Ranma are this. For example waking up at the crack of dawn and sparring for hours on end.

- What the Hell, Hero?: Kasumi to Ranma for staying away for ten years after her mother died
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: This is why Ranma is so passionate about martial art seeing Tomoe transform into an Ice Queen after Akari’s death showed him the dangers of letting passion die.Ranma: The only honorable way out for people like us is to either die of old age, in battle, or seppuku. All three options are pretty much closed to me, and Soun, I refuse to be among the walking dead. You see, that's what a person without passion becomes.
- Who's Laughing Now?: After Ranma gave Nabiki a nugget of fools’ gold as a prank she threatened to call the proper authorities if he didn’t go to school.
- Woman Scorned: Aya Tendo
