Finally finished another entry into this series. Slowly Usagi finds a way to turn things around in her life. As she does, she reaches out to those who she cut out of her life.
Any fan artist out there looking for a prompt for some Senshi/shittensou art, here’s something I’ve thought of lately. The “Wearing the boyfriend’s shirt to bed” trope with all the different Senshi wearing shirts appropriate to their owners. Here’s what I’m thinking:
Usagi: Mamoru’s pink shirt with the rolled up sleeves
Minako: A button up white shirt like Kunzite’s human form just came form office (bonus points if she’s playing with his tie in some way)
Rei: Jadeite’s favorite hoodie
Ami: An overwatch shirt (or some video game shirt)
Makoto: A sport’s jersey (the samurai blue soccor team would be perfect)
Man. This one just kept going for me. I’m pretty sure working on this chapter is what has prompted me to try my best to work on shorter chapters with my Choker of Love series. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys. I’ll be getting another chapter of Choker of Love done sometimes next week (something for you to read on your phone while your forced to face family). As for this story, it still has one more chapter and an Epilogue. Cross your fingers. I’m hoping to have it done by the end of the year.
Thank you to those reading and reviewing. If you loved this story but also enjoy lighter ones, please go check out my original Growing Pains. It’s a slow burn romance with enemies to lovers. It was originally an SM fanfiction but I decided it swung too close to Customer and made it an original instead. I could really use the support so I hope you’ll go read and review there too.
@dendyweek is why I republished this story so make sure you head over and read the other great Dendy works posted for this event. So sad tomorrow is the last day!!
For the next three months, I’m taking a break from fanfiction. The good news with that is, payment for Patreon will be paused for those three months. So for either $3-$5 dollars upon entry, you get three months to binge read without a monthly fee!
I have way more content on my Patreon than fanfiction or AO3. Like more of AWE, Cell Mates, all my fairy tale stories, and fics that have never been posted! Some never will be. There’s enough content to keep you reading for three months at least. And if not, you can read something again. You got three months!!
After July, I’ll unpause if I have something to post. And you’ll be informed beforehand so you can decide to stay or go. As long as you don’t cancel, you’ll only pay the entry fee until at least August!
Consider subscribing and supporting my original sites as well! I’ll be selling myself as much as possible on those sites from now on. You’ll get more updates there than here!
Drew these without using any references after watching Nogimyu for like the sixth time… I wanted to see if I could at least make Mikako look a bit like herself in my style so I could draw her in any future fanart featuring Mamoru /D
This is my contribution to Dendy Week! It’s not the best, but please remember it isn’t beta’d and it’s hard adulting and writing at the same time. lol.
Title: When Dreams are Realities
Summary: When Usagi comes back from a vacation, she’s told that what she remembers isn’t real. Her boyfriend isn’t her boyfriend and she now she has a fiance? (this is an AU)
Summary: Motoki finds Mamoru the perfect gift for his bachelor party. But the consequences might turn out to ruin the wedding. My amateur piece for Smutember.
Summary: Contrary to belief, Mamoru Chiba liked the Christmas season. He enjoyed the chilly weather, the overly large coats, and the smell of cinnamon and pine. Up until five years ago Mamoru liked Christmas. Then he met a tiny rambunctious odango haired junior high student.
“Though Usagi’s eyes were hidden behind her fist, the quivering of her lower lip caught Mamoru’s breath, and the tear that escaped from behind her hand ran down her cheek so fast, if he wasn’t looking he never would have seen it.
He should leave her be. He knew it.
But Mamoru also knew that if he walked out the door, her hunched over form would haunt him for the rest of the day, week, or whenever he saw her smile again. He couldn’t explain it, but he couldn’t let her just sit there and suffer.”
Location/Occupation/Age: Chicago ‘burbs, Nurse, 30’s
About my fanfics: anything from OTP to what you love to write, what you wanna write etc. UsaMamo is my OTP, and I love to write about them! But what I like to focus on is emotion. In the OG anime and Manga, they go through so much individually and as a couple, but neither medium really cared to delve… well, anywhere near the lasting effects of those actions and events. Let’s explore a bit, yes?
This is what I am trying to do in my WiP “Once More, with Feeling!”, a rewrite of a Dark Kingdom arc where Usagi and Mamoru start dating almost from the beginning. I got cozy within Mamoru’s head, took some liberties with his psychometry, and topped it off with a secret relationship. Much of this story has been spent asking myself, “How would X make them feel?”
Feautured Work: “Home”
“Usagi struggles in the aftermath of Galaxia and Chaos after returning home from Sagittarius Zero-Star”
“I will treasure this. Thank you so much for writing it. I am happily riding the angst bus here.”
“This is beautiful. Oh my gosh. Your writing is gorgeous.”
“Wow wow wow you said all aboard the feels bus and you meant it. This was heartbreaking in the best way. I’m very much team “Usagi encourages Mamoru to Harvard”, but the way you handled it here was just…wow.”
