Lines of Destiny by Louis-Phillipe Giroux, and it's fan-continuation Destiny's Intersection by Shareon.

I believe that the original is one of the earliest known fanfics to put Ranma in a sailor fuku.

It has got to be in the continuation, because I have absolutely no recollection of Ranma being pregnant in Lines of Destiny by Phoenix, and I have been waiting for it to be updated since 2001 (though I gave up hope a decade ago).

Yup. That's one of the plot points of Destiny's Intersection. Which is technically based off the original authors drafts and ideas, but really that just shows that the authors original plans to continue Lines of Destiny really weren't that good, and I'm sure he agreed since he started up a rewrite of the idea that didn't go anywhere sadly.

Rewrites equals dead fic 9 times out of 10. :(

There is a vast terrain between "copy-editing" and "rewrite". I've done a fair bit of copy-editing on Different Colors, but I've left the ffnet version untouched. The revised version is on my web site, and you won't be able to see much difference.

Heinlein had Jubal Harshaw say something to the effect of "Don't rewrite. Send it out to editors, then write something else." If an editor offers to buy the story if only you fix something she noticed, then you rewrite. Other than that, rewriting is only while you're busy learning and improving your craft.

Can I hijack this to ask if anybody remembers the one where Pluto was Ranma's mother? I do recall a hilarious line in there where Ranma asks Setsuna "Must everything be quick and painful with you?" in front of others and she responds "YOU were not quick, but most definitely painful", and Ranma is mortified.
I can't recall much else, other than it is old, at least 15 years old.

At least one where Pluto was Ranma's mother -- True Heritage. For extra points, Nodoka was the father. It's not the one you remember, but it is about fifteen years old.

There are quite a few fics where Setsuna is Ranma's mother. I'm sure I've read at least 5 over the years.

Yes, but i can only think of 2 where it starts with him, Mercury and Venus being sent back in time, one where he´s utterly miserable and one where he's not so bad off. Cant find either though...

I sorta hijacked the thread for one where Setsuna was Ranma's mother, while the OP was asking for one where Ranma was sent back in time and gave birth to Setsuna.

Very likely Leonardo B. Castro’s “Pluto’s Son”, except that one does not mention the answer as shocking him.

This, OTOH, may be what OP is looking for:

Edit: A small bonus: One of the oldest Ranma-is-Pluto’s-son fic around.
