" “Only some scratches, captain, nothing to worry about.”

“Captain?”

“You’re an infamous pirate. I’m sure that you’re also a great captain of an evil crew, Michi-chan.”

Michi-chan. "

That made me tear up. I felt as if Haruka thought she was with her brother.

Hey, WHAT A GREAT STORY. It is sad and moving but happy and cheerful at the same time. I would have liked it if Galxia was actually gone forever but what can i do. You are an awesome writer

Thanks for a great story

that was the first story of yours i ever read and you are one of the reasons i love fanfiction so much :)
i love the way your write and also the thing what you can turn haruka in such dramatic figure

i dont know what else to say i just love your stories

wow, so very long, took me nearly three days to finish, it was so intense i had to stop at some points. as always GREAT JOB!

I read this one yesterday but I didn’t get the chance to tell you what I thought until tonight o_O

As is consistent with all of your stories there are really only 2 things I can say: I loved it! And I cried!

Ok so you are getting the idea that I cry a lot LOL but I can’t help it when you do such a great job depicting real life matters such as love, life, death, illness, and hardship! I just love the way you write! You are definitely one of my favorite writers, not just on FanFic but of all time! You are so creative and you do a wonderful job balancing the “supernatural” (the sailor moon aspect) with real life! I just love all of your work! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!

Wow..It's been to long sense I've read from you. I've always enjoyed reading your stories, even if you think they weren't good enough. This story I've been reading none stop for the past week, and I must say it's been a very enjoyable one. Though you say it was clear at the start, I still didn't see why they didn't know each other. I also must say this story I finished ironically on this day, the day of my sister's death four-years ago. So ever emotion Haruka felt, I knew exactly. Watching someone you loved so much die after you've done everything you could to save them, feeling weak and helpless as the world past you by in that damn hellish place of healing, IS the worst feeling of pain in the world. Just had to say that, I was so raped up in this story that at the moment I read that it was her BROTHER who died(honestly I thought it was a husband/boyfriend there 0_o)I relized that is was in two days time. All the pain mentioned came exploding back, so I have to say thank You for reminding me. Just had to add that into the review. Well I do hope to read more of your works in the future. Though I was kinda hoping to read something about Haruka and Michiru haveing a child (due to the silver crystal of coarse), but the shadowing in Haruka's mind was just as promising. I'll hope to read from you soon. R/R later humans!

hello :))
okay, so it took me forever-and-a-half to actually review this story, even though i read it quite some time ago. i have to say, thank you so much for reccommending it. :)
i LOVED it.
XD. EVERYTHING. the haruka/michiru and the starlights and setsuna's part and everything.

Your freaking awesome! I read all of your stories, sometimes even 2 or 3 times because they are just so memorable! Thank you! =D

~a loyal reader!

Hey there :)

Thank you so much. It's wonderful to read a truly original and entertaining H/M story that is beautifully written, in some cases because of, rather than in spite of, the language barrier. You have an exotic way of phrasing ideas that ignores cliche and cuts straight to the heart of a concept, which is truly a pleasure to read. Though there are some errors in grammar and spelling, they're relatively minor, and it's amazing to trace how your writing has improved from one story to the next.

If I have any reservations, they're mostly because I wanted more :). The almost universal hatred of Uranus by the other senshi is not something that could be overcome in a small amount of time, likewise Haruka's prolonged denial of her senshi nature. It felt like the story ended prematurely, without exploring whether the other senshi ever came to accept Haruka's reasons for walking away, or whether Haruka would continue to allow her senshi-self to manifest. I certainly would have liked to see at least some resolution of the conflict between Haruka and the others. If you have any inclination at all, a sequel would be very well received :).

Perhaps the only other draw-back from my point of view was Hotaru. I hated that Elza took Haruka's rightful place in Hotaru's life, though I ignored it for the most part since Hotaru didn't really feature in this story :).

Anyway, that's all from me. Thank you again. Thank you also, especially, for waiting until you'd written it all before you began posting. The week-long wait between instalments was ell, but I can't imagine how awful it would have been if you left us waiting months between chapters, like a lot of other authors do. Thank very very much for not inflicting that on us :).

Best wishes

You know, I always enjoyed reading your older stuff in 2002. There were some tense errors and phrase errors etc, and sometimes you wrote things in ways I had never heard or read; however, I was always fascinated by your stories, and I also loved all of the translation oddities that occured. Often, I enjoyed the way you phrased things much more than how a native English speaker would have phrased them. I felt that they added character and unique style to your stories that I couldn't find anywhere else. So, please don't be too harsh on yourself, as I enjoyed those very same things you've berated yourself for. Also, thank you for writing again, and many thanks to your friend who encouraged you to write more fics in English. ^_^ *huggles to you both*

After having been asbsent from for a very long time already, I randomly browsed through the Sailor Moon (Haruka and Michiru) section yesterday, looking for a quick read.
What I found turned out to be a very long read, which was really worth every hour you spent in front of your computer writing it!

I truly enjoyed your story very much!
It has depth and a good, consistent plot. And I like the way you portrayed the characters.
Quite apart from the fact that I dearly love Haruke, I followed the story you wrote about her past and her brother with a lot of compassion.

I hope to be reading more from you soon!

Merry Christmas!

Bravo! Bravo! And once again - Bravo!

Any chance of an encore of sorts? ^_^

You've outdone yourself again! With a great plot (ongoing and never straying too far away from the main storyline), great characterisation, and you absolute flow of words. I don't know how you do it, but you manage to make your stories so descriptive and real - so real in fact, that you can see the images in your mind. Which is excellent! Always the mark of a good writer!

And might I add, your English has most definitely improved! I'm still amazed half the time that it isn't your first language at all, and it makes me feel bad - I really should have stuck it out with my German. Although I did spend a good few hours the other night trying to translate the German DNAngel manga you sent me. ^^

But I digress, I truly have missed your Haruka/Michiru stories and it's always a bonus when you throw in the Three Lights! I adore the way you portrayed them in the story - especially Tahiki. I never see too much in depth characterisation on him at all, so it was wonderful to get some insight into his mind. I just want to glomp Sejya and ruin his 'cool guy' image. And Yaten was so sweetly endearing. What a past you gave him though! Poor guy.

Honestly April. You've written a truly magnificent story, and is a great ltitle treat for the holiday season. Thanks very much for letting me know and I hope you keep me updated with any future projects of yours!

Keep writing!

Marvelous. Another superb masterpiece beautifully illustrated by the brilliant awesomeness that is you. Bravo, April Eagle. Bravo.

E~ Oh, how excellent. What a perfect ending. ^^
I'm going to read it all over again now. ^^ Yay, it's all complete. You're such a good writer.

English isn't your native langue. Man, our english is way better then mine and I've been speaking it all my life. Loved your story by the way.
