So it seems I wrote some fanfic, for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon; I haven't decided yet how good I think it is, but there it's linked anyway. I just finished Act 14, so the narration takes place somewhere around there.
I've told you already that I like this, but as no one else is commenting, I shall do so again. You've captured something so that it resonates in me... Ami sounds articulate and thoughtful and real. And a little sad. And hopeful. And Usagi is described rather perfectly.
It's an excellent fanfiction, in a way that Feels Good.
I imagine that I can here insert whatever theme song that I feel is relevant. ^>
Anyway, 'tis a nifty little piece. Not much I can pick at from a phrasing standpoint; yours usually seems to surpass mine.
Interesting how happy people want to live their own lives--and in fact fight very hard to do so!--whereas melancholy people seem more willing to exchange their lives up for something else... I suppose that's only logical. Or maybe Usagi is just baka. I dunno.
Also fun is the idea that meeting new people can show you new sides of yourself... Even if you don't always end up becoming a Moon Princess (for which I am grateful; otherwise we'd be up to our ears in Moon Princesses)
Dude. I just realized. This means they had tuxedos on the moon. In like... 2000 BC. And seifuku, too!

Un. For the record, I think that Ami is wrong about this, although to describe exactly what I mean by that I'd have to think harder at a time when I'm less hungry.
I guess I mean that in my opinion, it was a genuine reincarnation, so she really is a different person from her previous life, which will hold even once she's learned more about the past; and that's good, for her, because for someone who is Ami, being Ami is better than being whomever Mercury used to be.
It's not surprising that she'd feel the way I say she does, though. It must feel awfully weird. (And being a senshi is still the most important thing about this incarnation, too.)
In like... 2000 BC.
My own long feeling is that the Silver Millennium probably ended around 8,000 BC, give or take a thousand. The show(s?) always say(s) that it was one thousand years ago, but I take that to be a sort of shorthand for 'a long time ago', a la '40 days and 40 nights' (since if there had been an interplanetary magical civilization in the 990s, we'd probably have some record).
