Fics like Living a Lie

When Ranma Saotome was three, he picked up an interest in art, and asked his mother and father for a box of crayons. Instead, his father gave him a gi and promised to make him strong. When Ranma Saotome was five, he asked his mother to teach him how to cook. Instead, she sent him to go practice kata with his father. When Ranma Saotome was seven, he tore a hole in his gi, and asked his mother to teach him how to fix it. Instead, she told him to put on a new gi while she fixed his ruined one. All his life, Ranma had been forced into a box by his parents, and all his life, he’d sought more than their dreams for him. But his own dreams withered with age, and by sixteen, he would tell anyone who asked that he was going to be the greatest martial artist of all time, a man among men. Until one fateful day, when a training accident left him with a unique predicament, and he found himself questioning everything about who he was and who he was supposed to be. Now all he has to do is navigate telling one little lie after another and hope the snowball of deceit and guilt doesn’t crush him entirely.
