- Why they are the best
SHE IS SUCH AN ASSHOLE. She absolutely pushes people’s buttons for fun (not just Haruka, she does it with Usagi, she tried with Michiru, and I’d bet she’d do it with everyone, we just never got it on screen), BUT SHE MEANS IT GOOD NATUREDLY. And she’s a smol little butch, charming as HELL even though she flounders sometimes. ALSO LET ME SCREAM HER LYRICS IN “I MISS YOU” BECAUSE SHE HAS SUCH AN EXPERIENCE OF UNREQUITED LOVE AND IT HURTS ME. - Why they are the worst
SHE IS SUCH AN ASSHOLE - a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
Canon likes to waver on her knowing where boundaries are. SHE KNOWS AND ADHERES TO THAT PLEASE. - a non-canon fact (that should be)
She and Minako acknowledge some of what they have in common at LEAST once. I think Seiya is more genuine in her jovial moods than Mina (I mean, Mina is genuine, but there’s always that little bit of everything else running underneath, she can never not be Venus even when she wants so badly to just be Mina), but they’re similar, they’re the leaders, they’ve both failed their princess at least once, they both have memories of fallen kingdoms. They might do it half jokingly, but they definitely do it. (And likely, it makes them hate each other a little, since they hate these things in themselves. Mina is happy to cheer Haruka on in their next fight) - a piece of advice I would give them
don’t beat yourself up about Kakyuu. PLEASE
Tag: I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS
And The Snow Sparkles like Diamonds
My sparklee is the illustrious @sittingoverheredreaming! I combined two prompts: “Haruka and Michiru and their first Christmas with a child” and “Haruka and Michiru get snowed in somewhere” as well as your love “Michiru being cute with kids.” SO I HOPE YOU LIKE IT. 6,125 words
“Miss
Kaioh, the entire airport is grounded. I assure you your plane will
be one of the first to depart once safety has been established.”
He was firm, but Michiru noted the anxiety in this eyes. He was
used to dealing with rich. Rich was nothing. Billionaire heiresses,
however, still didn’t visit his counter every single day, and her
French was the kind of perfect he never expected outside of the
country.“This
is Zurich. I can’t imagine this is the first time snow has
magically appeared on the runway, left by frost fairies.” There was
no anger her in her voice, only judgment, and somehow that was all
the more terrifying.“Ma’am,
it’s an emergency level blizzard.”Haruka
had no idea what the French patter meant, but she knew enough of
Michiru to recognize the look in her eyes, the one that said, ‘I
could have your entire family killed and no one would ever question
it.’
I was so so excited when I got the notification for this. I had to wait to read it until my guests left, and I decided to make an evening of it, complete with fancy snacks, a drink (by which I mean 7Up, I can’t imagine alcohol and Doc fic would lead to anything but hours of me curled up crying), and MOOD LIGHTING.
(Exhibit A: the mood is lit)
This is the point where you’re probably thinking “wow, they really over hyped themself” BUT YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE THIS WAS EVEN MORE AMAZING THAN ANTICIPATED. I am using humor to compensate for how much this made me cry. This is so, so beautiful and sweet, and that it was written *for me* touches me to an extent I can’t even begin to convey. So many details were precision hits to my heart, from Haruka’s conversation with Tia about how you can be and date who you want when you grow up to Michiru’s guard slowly coming down and all her fears about having kids and then how she’s the one who does the stocking for Tia and then sends her the tiara. Bury me in Michiru feelings. THE DIFFERENT WAYS THEY CONNECT WITH TIA JUST KILL ME. Having the kid not be theirs was a brilliant decision I didn’t anticipate. And the ways they flirt with each other, and the amazing little throw backs to lines from the series (”I don’t listen to that kind of talk… out side the dentist’s office” oh my god) are all just so great and I would say it felt like a gift specifically for me but IT WAS. I still can’t fully dig in and comment on all the things that were amazing. MICHIRU AND TIA THO HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I LOVE SEEING MICHIRU WITH KIDS AND ESPECIALLY THIS KID AND HOW SHE HAS TO CONSCIOUSLY BRING DOWN HER MANNERISMS AND HOW SHE CAN’T LET HERSELF WISH FOR THIS BUT SHE DOES ANYWAY AND AHHHHH.
AHHHHHHHHH.
AHHHHHH I’M GOING TO CRY MORE NOW.
I love Ruby so much tho. My smol darling soldier who defies destiny to love and to live. She’s so important to me.
I’m a girl in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I’m the one
Who has to social climb for one.
