yay time for rei to come in! i cant wait to see how they all meet and get along in this au.

I really like how you are ecploring how being a sailor senhi would be different from everyone else and the powers that they had. it's one of my favorite things that gets explored in fanfic. I also really like scenes between usagi and mamouru were all kinds of cute hot and sweet. im really enjoying this fic

sqeee. im so glad they got together. it's only been 7 chapters but this felt like a slow burn on steroids (but like in a good way cause it made this chapter so sweet). I can't wait to see where things go from here. im loving this au concept

When Usagi summoned her staff and healed the Cardian I swear I simultaneously got goosebumps and teared up. So beautiful and exactly something that would happen in canon!

And Minako arriving at the end expecting to have to restore Usagi’s memories but she welcomes them and cries and embraces them all instead? I’m choked up, can’t help it.

This whole story is wonderful and I’m so glad I read it! I love your slightly off-canon AUs where a lot of the major beats are still the same but the overall story is a liiiittle different. It’s so fun, though if I’m not careful I’m going to end up mixing up canon and your canon ROFL

"Did you just… did you just hack into international DNA databases on your phone?"

I laughed so hard I narrowly avoided dropping my phone into the bathtub. Thanks for that!

Mamoru’s musical filing system is PERFECT and I love his Usako playlist. The cutest.

Usagi’s explanation of how she knows she loves Mamoru, and how she knows he loves her, was absolutely fucking perfect and I initially highlighted all of it and then realized what a huge block of text it was and deselected it again. But it was GORGEOUS and I will definitely be coming back to reread it in the future because DAMN.

Also I full on SCREAMED out loud when Mercury showed up. Such a cruel cliffhanger but this is the advantage of reading finished fics!

I love every single thing about this chapter. I love Makoto working out that Usagi and Mamoru are Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask from their fighting styles and wanting to help more. I love everything about Ikuko-mama and how she’s adopted Mamoru. I love the festival atmosphere so much, and I nearly cried when Kenji invited Mamoru into the family photo.

I even don’t hate the cliffhanger because everything else was so flipping perfect.

Ohhhh, more waltzing in the streets, please, that was absolutely heart-melting!

I also adore Ikuko-mama and how she’s adopting Mamoru into the family, especially given her own past ‘indiscretions.’ I appreciate a parent who doesn’t expect their child to be better-behaved than they were (although I also imagine the fact that she can tell Mamoru and Usagi are gonna eventually get married helps!)

“ "Uh… there's a fight" She directly cringed once the words had left her mouth and Mamoru's eyes widened in alarm and so did hers. She rushed, stuttering. "Uh, uh… Naru!", Usagi all but yelled. "She had a fight with Umino. It's really bad. We have to go to her immediately."” And thus, the inspiration for Deception becomes 10x clearer. Love it!

“... she wouldn't put it past him to start making speeches in haiku or something. But better not give him ideas.” *snort*

Also I am loving Rei’s partial-awakening and how it’s slowly drawing Ami closer to the group!

Oh wow, this chapter and Usa/Mamo’s emotional connection is just stunning. There’s so much raw emotion here, and it’s beautiful.

I loved the story. looking forward forward to starting the sequel tomorrow!

I absolutely adore how you’ve kind of flipped the way the team forms in canon; instead of Usagi and Mamoru taking flipping forever to get together and Mamoru feeling like something of an outsider, Usagi and Mamoru find each other first here and the team grows up around both of them. It’s such a sweet little change, and our poor boy really deserves to have that extra layer of love.

“Artemis's soft and repeated little kitten- 'Meow' behind her had slowly started to sound more like a 'Mina'.” Cue me squealing and tapping my feet all over the place.

Okay and I SCREAMED when Usagi referenced Daleks, although I would expect Mamoru to be more familiar with Doctor Who than Usagi.

“Both Mamoru and Rei stood behind her, completely calm, eyebrows raised at her.” I can literally picture this in my head. It is glorious.

Awwwww and I love Usagi chastising Mamoru for never thinking she might like flowers and him then overdoing it. Because of course he would. (Hi, Unintentional Seduction!)

I love how completely unruffled Mamoru is by Usagi being more powerful than he is. One of the many, many reasons they are OTP.

Also, Mako mentally referring to Mamoru as “Usagi’s boyfriend” until after they’d actually trained together was perfect for reasons I can’t quite articulate.

And Rei! I love Rei and how no-nonsense she is. I especially love that she instantly clocked Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask as Usagi and Mamoru. Because she would. I feel like we don’t always get to see a ton of Rei (Minako often steals the show, not that I’m complaining) and so I’m so excited that she’s recruiting herself to the team early!

Usagi and Mamoru’s love creating her compact and turning her into Sailor Moon for the first time had me grinning like a fucking idiot.

"Venus" She whispered, in wonder. "It stands for Venus." gave me chills, even though OBVIOUSLY I ALREADY KNEW THAT.

Also, as I was reading I was like “I don’t remember a Cardian like that...” and then you said in the ANs that it was Godzilla and I was like “WELL ALRIGHT THEN.” Rofl
