You know, I’m kind of just spitballing, but if you wanted to go beyond “this balances group shots/group songs,” Chibs could slot into the outer team pretty well, not just because she has two (2) friends and they are both there, but because they all kind of have the common thread of not quite being the senshi they should be. There isn’t supposed to be an outers team at all, Saturn is supposed to exist briefly to be the world’s panic button and Pluto is supposed to primarily guard the time door, and while we’re less clear on Uranus and Neptune, I think at best they’re supposed to team up for big missions and otherwise patrol for threats alone. But this isn’t the Silver Millennium and they’ve carved a new path.

And Chibs, I feel, is supposed to be another Serenity but despite the name she’s too much her own person. She’s pragmatic and cynical at times and she’ll never be the chosen child of the Crystal the way her mother is.

And pair that with the fact that, like the outers, she’s often been dealt the harder hands, I think she’d be drawn to work with them

AU where Beryl is the only threat ever. NO one but Usagi and the Inners are ever awakened.

  • There is no Crystal Tokyo
  • CT is built on the back of tragedy and danger, in peace it can never come to be
  • Chibiusa is born in the 21st century, an ordinary child, a happy child with parents who treat her as their whole world
  • The Inners live relatively happy lives in simple peace, thought they’re never truly free. The threat that something else could come never goes away.
  • Haruka moves through life like a tornado, unable to calm the wind inside her. She can never shake the feeling she’s forgotten something, there’s a nagging at the back of her mind to do something, to be ready, to never sleep lest the moment comes
  • Michiru has always been a raging sea beneath a placid surface, she cannot distinguish the inexplicable emptiness inside her from the emptiness her poised life brings
  • She has dreams sometimes– she does not know enough to call them visions– of a past life spent fighting, and of fights that could come but never do
  • (Not awakening is different than not reincarnating, and having a part of you forever asleep is a cruel fate)
  • They never find each other, the poised socialite and the mechanic that blows through jobs and barely gets by. They went to the same school, once upon a time, but Michiru could never approach someone like Haruka.
  • Years before Beryl even came on the scene, a little girl died in a fire. No entities came to offer her father a deal for her life.
  • Pluto sits at her door. No sad child comes to befriend her. She has to believe it’s better this way. She’s found a peaceful timeline. It’s the best option. It has to be.

AU where the starlights showed up the same time as the outers

  • OUTERS ARE WAY MORE OSTRACIZED BECAUSE THE STARLIGHTS ARE THE SAME AGE OF THE INNERS AND IN THIS VERSION THE GENUINE CHARM OF THE STARLIGHTS IS PLAYED UP
  • Rather than “everyone has a crush on Haruka” everyone has their newcomer they’re most interested in (perhaps to rub salt in the wound, Usagi has a five second crush on Haruka because baby’s first butch, but then Seiya immediately shows up and is gregarious and more of what Usagi really likes in a person and her idolization of Haruka is so short lived)
  • The Starlights do the reasonable thing and team up with the inners, because this is not their fight but when their fight comes, they want to have the most powerful people on the planet on their side
  • Minako and Rei don’t trust the Starlights, there’s too much they don’t say and Mina and Rei know too much about their own loyalties to not recognize the same ruthlessness  in someone else
  • They’re the main bridge between the inners and outers, being the types that Haruka and Michiru gravitate towards
  • INSTEAD OF HORSEBOY SUPERS THE SEASON END WOULD LEAD TO A SEASON ABOUT THE HUGE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE STARLIGHTS AND USAGI (and everyone else) BECAUSE THEIR PLANET WAS DESTROYED AND HOW DARE SHE RISK THAT FOR ONE GIRL.
  • you know that one stupid episode where Haruka and Michiru fight Usagi? That but with the Starlights and a season long and it’s justified because they LIVED the consequence she couldn’t accept as a possibility, it doesn’t matter that it turned out okay because they knew she didn’t feel the weight of it and they’re traumatized
  • Also just. THe whole idea of people who lived through their planet being destroyed seeing the awakening of a soldier who’s purpose is to destroy the planet. That’s some GOOD SHIT. And their sympathy would switch from the inners to the outers SO FAST, if the outers accept the starlights AREN’T the outside threat it’s a hell of a team up
