Starless - A Sailor Moon Starlights Fanfic

Watching the Sailor Moon Cosmos movies revived my love for the fanfic I wrote in 2009 about Kakyuu's lost lover. I've uploaded it to Ao3 to share with a new audience. ♥

That also said:

While there is zero canonical support for it, in-universe I do like the idea that Haruka is not, in fact, a gold star lesbian where Michiru Kaioh very much is for the same reasons that Willow not being one where Tara Maclay is also works well in that universe. It illustrates a broader range of queer experience and in finest Sailor Moon fashion where appearances are outwardly deceiving the butch lesbian is the one who had a boyfriend as a younger woman and the femme is the one who's the gold star 'I am for one woman'. This is one of the many layers of how storytelling works in that verse and it also amplifies some key differences between Haruka and Michiru.

That said I do use some parallels in the Harumichi and Tara/Willow relationships. In each case there's a witch associated with an element (Earth/Water in the form of the Ocean) and there's a short-haired impulsive powerhouse who is a highly aggressive semi-rabid golden retriever who will bulldoze through things 100% of the time even or especially when finesse is the better option. Equally the elemental witch has some dodgy aspects (Michiru is canonically a stalker of Haruka in the anime, which by virtue of providing a past will do where the manga didn't) and Tara almost killing the Scoobies and sabotaging demon-detection spells that might have considerably shortened the Initiative plotline and then almost killing off her family of choice, well...there are some overlaps there.

While the short-haired powerhouses equally have massive doses of angst, take on themselves burdens that are not always the wisest to bear, and have the emotional intelligence of a rock. The main distinctions are that the Outer Senshi are both equally powerful in separate ways, and that the functions of magic and its wellsprings in the Sailor Moon universe between the Galaxy Cauldron and reincarnation factor function vastly differently than the more erotically charged sorcery of the Buffyverse.

The other distinction is that Tara Maclay, at least as I write her, is only a cinnamon bun relative to the rest of the Scoobies and when the comparisons are Spike, Xander, Anya, Willow, Buffy, and the like it's not hard to be the least morally ambiguous person in that bunch. Michiru, OTOH, is a stone cold manipulator-seer who uses her powers in the right ways, but is for all that by far the most ruthless of the Outer Senshi, as Haruka is far too impulsive to actually plan something where Michiru rivals Bruce Wayne for how OP she gets with prep time.

Of the two Michiru has by far the darker elements and the two would be highly at odds, as ultimately befits that Water and Earth have some particular geological antagonisms in science and equally so as elemental sorcery, and they operate on very different moral principles. Where, too, Michiru has intended seer-sight and anything I use with that with Tara tends to be the influence of the First, which is at least a part of any take on Season 6, with her being more easily manipulated via dreams of her dead mother playing into her insecurities in a bid to ensure a plan coming together works before the first components are truly assembled that misfires because the anthropomorphic personification of evil cannot understand human complexity and flaws and because Tara loves too much to truly fall into the fuller scale of the trap on the one hand and because Willow is not, in fact, truly evil or foredoomed to fall into darkness.

In truth as I write her and Setsuna both Michiru has the exact opposite problem that with reliable seer-sight her life often feels like a scripted thing of one damn crisis after another, which is why she goes for Haruka, because the impulsive golden retriever won't let things remain so stably serene as all that.

July Camp NaNoWriMo

Another NaNo month! The next section is going to be tricky given how the last chapter was written.

First issues to tackle:

How much damage was done to the Scarlett Palace?

How badly are things going to go for Sailor Pluto?

What is going to happen with Seiya and Usagi?

I have the next five chapters outlined and I am hoping they won't be really long chapters but I tend to fail at writing short chapters.

All set up!

And at the last minute.... I have changed my goal. In the next 31 days.... 60,000 words. Let's go!!!!

Hmm... wonder why this segment was subtitled Shiori. This next section will feature the scene I thought up trying to go to sleep one night in January.

[howmanyheartaches]

It was a bad joke, Michiru being back on her feet, able to walk, before Haruka could. But everything was a bad joke, her whole life leaving that uneasy feeling in her stomach, her head, the experience of choking on your own laughter; Michiru felt like she was choking to death all the time now. There were tears dwelling under the surface constantly nowadays, like back when she discovered it, but she was much better at zipping it up by now. And still all she wanted to do was cry as she slowly walked towards Haruka’s room. Pluto had told her that she had thought about putting them in the same room, as they had shared their sickbed a long time ago. Pluto was a strange woman, she always had been, Michiru was so very sure of it. But she was right. She always was. So she had decided to separate them, “Because clearly Haruka’s not ready for that commitment.” Oh, Haruka was ready. She just had committed to a different thing. The thoughts were bitter, like salt on her tongue, as Michiru’s feet left almost no sound on the floor. She wore lacey thigh-highs, a matching nightgown and the comfort of a cozy bathrobe over it like a safe blanket. Again, no sound was heard as she opened Haruka’s door. It was so unlikely for Haruka not to move. She still slept most of the time now, her only way of running away. The beautiful mouth of her, the one Michiru wanted on her own constantly, was slightly open; she softly snored. They’ve sworn love. They’ve sworn not to be together. One of Haruka’s hand was slightly hanging out of the bed, so did one of her weak legs, therefore Michiru let her fingers ghost over Haruka’s. “I never asked for this”, Michiru murmured; burying her face in her other hand. It was not like her to break. But there should be excuses for times after you’ve died and came back to live. She hadn’t asked for being born into her family. She hadn’t asked to be a reborn Senshi. She would have been perfectly fine growing up as a middle class girl in the outskirts of Paris or maybe one of many children in Italy, admiring an athlete from overseas with short blonde hair and hunger in her eyes.

Fate (Chapters 25 - 26) - Throwback Thursday Edition

A short one this week with my favorite Rei scene, the Senator trying to play both sides of the fence, movie night (!), and some fluff to balance out the angst.

Usagi was ready and waiting when the car pulled up.  She hurried out to meet them, a small backpack over her shoulder and one of her mother’s round throw pillows in her hand.  A smile on her face, she quickly slid into the back seat with Minako.

“Hi, guys,” she said as she arranged herself and her belongings.  “Thanks for picking me up, Yuichiro.”

Yuichiro smiled into the rearview mirror at her in acknowledgement, then started to pull away.

“What’s with the pillow?” asked Rei, fighting with the seatbelt as she turned around in her seat to face the girls in the back.

“Mako-chan said they have to bring their own pillows to get comfortable with.  And, since they’re not expecting us…” she drawled out, her grin getting bigger as she took the pillow and shoved it up under her shirt.  “So we look the part in case we have any trouble getting in.”

Minako giggled while Rei rolled her eyes.  “I’m almost afraid to ask what’s in the backpack,” quipped Rei.

Usagi reached for her bag and started to rummage around inside it while she explained, “Well, like I said, they aren’t expecting us, so I figured they probably won’t have enough snacks for everyone.  I didn’t want us to get left out.”  As she said this, she began to hand items out to show what she had.  A can of orange soda, bag of grape gummies, and a box of Pocky were handed to Minako, and a can of cola along with a small, black snack bag were handed up to Rei.

Rei held the bag in front of her and gave it a shake, causing the white puffs inside to jostle and resettle.  “Popcorn?  We’re going to a baby class, Usagi, not a picnic.”

“I know that,” answered Usagi.  “But Mako-chan said tonight was movie night.”

Sailor Moon ficcage thoughts

So, I originally had access just to the Miss Dream fan translation of the manga (Sailor Moon in whole, plus Sailor V and side stories) and I do still have that. Back in the day I watched the 90's dubs on Cartoon Network though of course they never released Stars so, incomplete even if I'd managed to watch it every day.

Now, I have access to Crystal and I've watched some of it (almost the first two seasons) but I'd need a re-watch if I was to write something from it.

Now, here's the thing:

I have kicked around the idea of writing a Sailor Moon fanfic / series for an age and here's what I would do in a perfect world -- a canon divergent fic series broken up by era and driven by two things. One, a more realistic reaction of the senshi to their trauma. (Yeah automatically darker than my usual, but prime for hurt/comfort.) So that would affect their personality a (extended to Mamoru and you have so much going on between the accident that killed his parents, his loner lifestyle while somehow taking on the mantle of Tuxedo Mask chasing a dream in utter desperation.

Also unfridging the Shitennou, because they're interesting characters who deserve exploration. Also Mamoru deserves the moral support and deep friendships and because, quite frankly, I am an avid Senshi/Shitennou shipper and I want it. #good enough

I also want to explore the family bonds of the Senshi especially. There's just no way they didn't notice changes in the girls and I really like the idea of them knowing and doing something about it.

Leave me a comment / reblog with comments / hit up my ask. You can also add to the poll below. Thanks!

Thanks again!

[prism-empurress]

The blonde heroine fidgeted nervously in her seat. Her buns needed touching up, her outfit was a mess, and Luna wasn't there with her. But she recalled Mamoru's comforting voice; "just breathe; it'll be okay."

It felt like she'd been sitting in this room for hours. All was silent, save for her racing heart and the ticking of the clock. Usagi exhaled, eyeing the gray room, the assorted home improvement magazines on the coffee table, and briefly thought about if danger should arrive, would she be quick enough to transform. Shaking those thoughts away, Usagi recalled why she was here.

Someone wanted to meet her. Someone who called her "my hero".

"Miss Tsukino," A female voice spoke up suddenly.

Turning her head, a tall woman smiled brightly at her.

"I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting,"

"No no! It's fine!" Usagi smiled in return. "When can I meet…?"

"Oh, she's finishing up now. We really want to thank you for coming all this way for us. It means a lot to her. Can we get you a coffee or anything?"

"I had coffee before coming here, but thank you."

"She'll be out in just a minute." With that, the woman left.

Back to boredom.

Usagi sighed, and pulled out her crappy dollar store notebook with glitter bunnies on the cover. Running her fingertip across the glittery surface, she giggled to herself, and took out her pencil. The blonde began doodling, drawing accessories she had in the past to fight evil. The moonstick and heart moon rod were fond memories, as were her first brooches.

Finally, another door opened, and with eyes closed, out came another tall woman that had thick, curly, dark brown hair and chubby cheeks. She opened her eyes, and gasped.

Usagi sheepishly waved at the woman who had just come out of her therapy appointment.

"Hi! Are you the one I was told to meet with?"

She blinked a few times, then tears slid down her face. Usagi was alarmed, but then saw she was smiling. The woman sobbed quietly, wiping her eyes with her arms.

"Usagi?? Usagi Tsukino??"

"Y--yeah?" Usagi wasn't sure what to expect.

"Can I hug you??"

"Sure!"

The woman ran over to Usagi, who stood up from her seat, and the two hugged warmly.

Woah, her hair was really thick and curly. Usagi almost wanted to run her fingers through it.

"I'm sorry for crying. Really. You���you saved me a long time ago."

"Who might you be?" Usagi asked, rubbing the woman's back.

"I'm Rissa. I'm a huge fan. You're my favorite. I can't--I can't put into words how much you mean to me."

"Aw," Usagi laughed slightly. "Well I'm glad I saved you!"

"I was in a really dark place ten years ago, it was hard to get out of bed so I didn't…but now I'm getting the help I need, and I'm on new medicine!"

Ten years ago… she was just starting out as Sailor Moon then, hadn't met the other sailor guardians… but there was evil in the small town, robbing people of their energy! As Sailor Moon, she brought the light of hope and used it to disperse the darkness hanging over everybody's heads, filling their thoughts with despair.

"Ten years ago? But… all I did was throw my tiara at some bad guys back then."

"I know. It sounds silly." Rissa fidgeted, "But ever since you saved my life, I was in awe…and I wanted to be like you."

"Like me? A crybaby that was scared?"

"Even so, you still were able to kick butt. In your own way. You still did it with tears in your eyes."

Usagi blushed, her fame really had reached far and wide.

"Well, it's lovely meeting you!" Usagi chirped. "But surely you want to talk about something else besides what I was like in the past!"

Rissa's hazel eyes gleamed.

"Wanna talk about cats over cake?"

Chaos Theory Act 71

This is it.

The fight that has been hinted at since SeiUsa week in October 2023 in "This is Only the Beginning" as well as "Is this the End?" from Rare Pair week in March 2024. The hardest chapter to write so far.

Finally made it to this point! It is going to be a rollercoaster of emotions in this chapter.

I will start writing Act 72 on July 1st to kick off the second session of Camp NaNoWriMo. Still unsure when the teaser for Act 72 will be posted, likely beginning of August. Tentatively looking at Act 72 to be posted mid August. Updates will be in the blog once I complete my writing goal for the month.

Was their fight over what you expected?

Riding in cars with girls

It’s something Michiru is too embarrassed to tell Haruka: Michiru, sweet 15, had been used to be in the backseats of town cars, like a princess used to her carriage.

When Haruka held the door to the passenger seat open for her at their first date, presenting the car she had worked so hard for with a grin on her lips, Michiru’s attempt to slide on the seat had been very gracefully, but still, deep down, inexperienced. Her flings from art class not old enough to drive already - Haruka’s “license from overseas” quite something -, her family not exactly driving their own cars.

Being in front had opened new opportunities for her - not being held back from the world. Touching Haruka’s hand every now and then later. Touching her thigh at stop lights much later.

Since then she has been on many of Haruka’s past and present vehicle’s backseats, sponsored by Kaioh family birthday money, the very low and sporty ones, the very high and more comfortable ones. It’s something she’s so proud of, being able to watch her wife operate - a sight she can never get enough of. Watching her drive used to be one of the rare occasions with Haruka being completely at ease.

And still when they pick up Makoto for trips for mini golf or whatever is going to surprise Ami at the hospital the most, Haruka squishes Mako on the backseat. Because Michiru is supposed to sit on the passenger seat. Even when she has to elegantly turn her head to share a giggle with Ami. It’s her place, engraved like Haruka’s heart she owns.

Mina uses this restriction for short naps in the backseat and changing her clothes, not seeing this as a chance of her personal towncar, more of another eccentric lesbian behavior.

Haruka might never know how she was responsible for this certain first time in Michiru’s life, but she is so thankful for the first times Michiru provided to her. The first time someone heard the real laughter of Michiru Kaioh after a stupid joke Haruka made, one all the “kittens” would never hear. The first time being held at night after a nightmare. The first time being safe after they moved in together. The first time getting flowers for a success and the first “I love you”.
