This is beautiful and I absolutely love it, also a special thank you for making sure Usagi is noted as being chubby bc I have STRONG love for that! Favorite line is how Michiru recognizes that she and Haruka have in common their self loathing and makes a wry comment about it. How she isn’t shutting her out any more. This was such a great AU Sam!

Thank you so much!!! (I, too, have a lot of feelings re: chubby Usagi, and it was really fun to write her physicality at the end.)

I’M AT WORK BUT OH TRUST I HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS

AHAHAHA I’VE BEEN THERE, RHIO. I’ve had to ban myself from sneak-reading fic at work. But thank you so much for reading this!!

Um FUCK OFF SAM WHAT THE FUCK. God imagine if that burned out her powers too. Now she has no one and no powers to throw herself at enemies. But she remains. Just as Serenity would have wanted.

oh man that is some GOOD SHIT

Queen Serenity: Hey do you know why I gave you the moon sword?

Venus: To designate me formally as leader and–

Queen Serenity: Oh sure that too. But mostly it’s so if you ever lose your powers, you can still fight and die for my daughter 😀

Tell your wife I am ALSO unhappy because of this cliffhanger. I know it will end happily but I really hope that can happen without her getting shot in the head ��

*evil laughter*

No, actually I feel bad, so I’ve posted the next chapter already, which hopefully is less upsetting! (My wife is no longer threatening to divorce me, so I take that as a good sign)

The vulnerability of them both in this is so beautiful and you capture the scene so well, I could easily picture every movement, every expression. You may be scared for this to end, but in a way I can’t wait because I know shit is about to go DOWN and I’m so eager to get to see them be happy together

Ahhhhhhh thank you so much! I’m equal parts scared and excited to tackle the end. 
And I’m so glad you enjoyed this part, it was a big one that I worked really hard to get right!

Also fuck you for coming up with such a beautiful song just Like That, jfc that’s impressive as hell

I want you to know that after I wrote this, I had a dream that I ripped off the song from some classic rock band without realizing (I think it was ACDC? there was a lot of guitar like that)

Wow I love how you wrote Pluto here and I would love to see more of her with Minako tbh

Pluto and Minako are like, my secret favorite duo. In some ways, their burdens are the same (especially since I take the line that Minako is the only Inner who got full SilMil memories). And Pluto is the singular person who can be an adult for Minako the way she needs, for lack of a better wording. For some things, she’s the only person who’s older and has seen more.

This was lovely and sad. I particularly like how you did Pluto with her mystery and compassion. You get the feeling she’s even looking over Minako a long time.

Ahhh thank you, I love Pluto so much but find her really hard to get right. Sometimes I think of her as the senshi with the biggest heart, I imagine her wanting to take care of everyone even when she cannot act outright.

This slow build is so good but also killing me slowly. Seeing Michiru so afraid and raw is so strange and pulls at me; you write her in such a compelling way and balance well her stubbornness and loneliness. I wish I were an artist bc I would LOVE to draw a rendering of beast!michiru aha

Ahhh thank you!! I worry constantly I’m going too far with Michiru and that she will end up unrecognizable, so I’m so so glad to hear she works for you. 

Honestly my dream treat to myself after I finish would be to commission an artist to do a few illustrations. I’d love to see renderings of Michiru and maybe even a few scenes.

Oh man I LOVE Hotaru in this, I love the characterization you’ve given her! Can’t wait for the next chapter, as per usual!

Thank you so much! I feel like Hotaru is almost an OC I’ve slapped a canon name and a few references on, and that is so fun to me. I also love having her as a middle ground for Rei and Mina, and mixing up my usual friend pairings outside of Haruka and Mina has been a blast. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO ENJOY IT

I LOVE this. I never would have thought of Beryl being awakened this way, as an adult woman who had lived a whole life unknowing, only to be seeked out by Metallia and reawakened, but I’m enamored by it. I love that you made her a fervent ecologist especially because it fits so well, and I LOVE the nods toward the Moon Kingdoms harsh grip over the galaxy. This was great!!

Thank you! I love the idea of Beryl being SO CLOSE to being a hero, she does everything out of a desire to protect the planet, but she’s a little too willing to use any means necessary and she’s easily bent on revenge and striking back. (Interesting food for thought to me is would Serenity do any better were their situations and relationships to power switched?)

Oh, this is adorable! ������

Ahh thank you! I had a ton of fun writing it.

YES this made me SO happy you have no idea. Michiru just blithely not considering that poor people don’t all have access to horses, but trying in her own way to make this bond. Haruka stubbornly trying to fake her way through it despite knowing she has no idea what she’s doing. I am SO GLAD you wrote this, it was adorable and hilairous

Thank you so much! I love the idea of Michiru just vastly underestimating what her background and Haruka’s MEAN, because until you face those differences, it’s all just like, oh sure, you didn’t have city money, but living in the country you get more for less, so are we really so different?
And I think that really, that they try to connect so hard means they will, even as they fumble, and they can learn so much from each other, I just love throwing them in AU’s so much and I’m glad you enjoyed this one.

Oh man, OUCH. Setsuna wanting affection so badly and being denied is sad enough, but Michiru getting it, enjoying it, and then having to lie is absolutely heartrending. Poor Hotaru will probably always remember how critics Michiru was, never knowing it was to benefit Haruka and not genuine. I can’t imagine the difficulties of raising a child that ages faster than a fucking weed, and I really like that you’re exploring the fact that it couldn’t possibly be grandly happy for three inexperienced
women to take on the burden of raising any kid, let alone THIS one. I
appreciate that it’s somewhat happy in that they are all trying for it
to be, but with that fine layer of sadness underneath borne from the
delicacy of the soap-bubble world they’ve built for themselves. This is
great stuff!                    

 Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love the idea of the Outers Family as this almost sort of thing, it’s almost perfect, they’re almost happy, they almost made it. It’s such a tough circumstance when it comes down to it. I really like exploring the hardship and the joy together.

Aaaawwww poor Haruka! How she loved having a baby to take care of, and then that. That’s so unfair.
This is written so nice and so cute, and I can feel everything that poor woman goes through. Have I told you that I love your writing? I love it.

Thank you! I feel like in normal circumstances, Haruka would thrive as a parent, and even writing this hurt because all I want for Haruka is better self esteem and a good little family.
