Okay I haven’t COMPLETELY thought this out, but basically, I think if there was ever another situation where Saturn would have to destroy the world, Michiru would have visions of it long before hand, and consider it her personal job to prevent it.
And then if it happened anyway (and Usagi is unable to fix it), she considers it a failure, as there are three outcomes she sees:
1. They let Saturn do her job, the world ends, Haruka and everyone else dies. 2.Haruka, being Haruka, fights Hotaru to save the world, convinced they can rebuild, and either dies, reverting back to option one, or ends up killing Hotaru, which at the end of the day Michiru knows Haruka can’t live with. 3.Michiru kills Hotaru to save Haruka and the world, regardless of what state it’s in. While Haruka would understand, maybe even think it was the right choice, she’d also have deep doubts that would so easily grow into resentment.
So Michiru would be fighting so hard to not let them reach that point, but she can’t stop it. I like the idea of it just being the three of them in the end, Haruka unwilling to let the civilians die with the world’s end no matter how much they might suffer, Hotaru seeing that the world’s end is inevitable and knowing at least she can offer rebirth, and Michiru unable to argue with either, because it’s all her fault that they’re here.
GASP I FINISHED A GODDAMN THING FOR ANGSTOBER HELL HAS OFFICIALLY FROZEN OVER
(not really finished it’s very raw I just can’t redraw it anymore I have my limits)
This should have been a contribution to Day 19, “The brain has thirty seconds after the heart stops, she remembered”. As all good kids, I have my number of trash AUs, and in one of them Haruka never picks up her transformation rod. Nevertheless, she can’t get her strange saviour out of her head (as if anyone ever doubted it), so she finds Michiru again and they engage in an utterly fucked up kind of relationship. Michiru still fighting evil, Haruka, who refused to become Uranus and therefore unable (and unwilling) to battle, fighting herself. In the end Michiru goes to Marine Cathedral alone, after a huuuuge quarrel with Haruka, with result QUITE PREDICTABLE.
Michiru wearing a lot of scarves as a child and not wearing her hair up because people always stared and never asked about the bruise on her neck that never goes away but sometimes moves until she gets her senshi powers
Michiru’s senshi powers being obnoxious and healing her callouses too fast if she hurts her hand during battle and spending the next week reforming the skin
Michiru only touching Haruka with her right hand for the first few months of their relationship because of the voice that suspiciously sounds like her mother insisting ladies have to have soft hands and fearing Haruka won’t like her touch until Haruka says something about it
Michiru painting her nails every day first because the paint kept getting chipped during practice and then because it acts as a relaxer and making sure her nails are filed
Michiru doing finger and wrist exercises when she zones out or in deep thought
Michiru practicing her fingering on Haruka’s skin when they cuddle
