i enjoy reading a.c.'s stuff. its sweet, short, humorous - has good characterizations. thanks for sharing this and you're right, it does share some of the things he used in later stories. i kinda wished there had been a little bit more background info on Eos and the whole thing with her sister though :D but ah well.

I love it. Lol at Sets. Keep writing.

Hello again, remember me?

I was immensely pleased to see you posted a new story, even if it's actually an old one. I apologize for not reviewing right away, but I did not get even half way through the first chapter before realizing that I needed to go back and reread Light Fantastic before starting this, which I did.

I'll continue my review with my criticisms first. What's the point in criticizing an old story? Beats me, but I'm doing it anyway. Well to start with, what I disliked about the writing of this story is rather moot. The first chapter was awfully undeveloped and rushed. A lot of pointless crying and mood swings, more than is usually seen even for a Sailor Moon story but the subsequent chapters were all devoid of such claptrap, as are your subsequent stories. What my real complaint with this story is, like Light Fantastic, the names of the Shitennou. I know you had to use the same as the ones you used in the first story, but it still took more concentration than if should have to remember who is who. The only one I could keep straight was that Junshi was Jadeite. I kept thinking Kazuya was Kunzite, even though he was actually Nephrite, Toshiro came out of nowhere and every time I read Sazume, my mind would correct it to Setsuna, which had me wondering where in the hell she came from. It wasn’t until the end of the story that I managed to correct that, and at the end, when Setsuna actually does appear, my mind did a 180 and I thought it was Zoicite that caught the bouquet, which dumbfounded me completely until I reread it more carefully. No, the names weren't confusing [eye twitch]. At all [eye twitch]. Really! [eye twitch].

But enough of that, lets get on to what I liked! The first of the things I enjoyed was the characterization of Jadeite. I believe I said the same thing in my review of Light Fantastic, but if I did I want to re-emphasize it. Most authors, since he is paired with Rei, give him a fiery temper and hot-headedness to match her. While that is something that works quite well, I applaud you taking a different route with him and making it good. In fact, now that I think about it, you have done that with him in your other stories and I have commended you as well. Good job. I also really enjoyed the tension between Jadeite and Rei. The Kunzite/Mina thing is par for the course, they wouldn't be the same characters without it, but its nothing new. I appreciate that you played up on real word fears and insecurities between them and personally, I think their "make-up" session, with Jadeite getting mad and telling her that she will marry him was a hoot. Well done. Another duo I really liked in this one was Usagi and Mamoru. Though they didn't have much stage time, I think you summed it up yourselves with the line "All they really need is each other". The fact that they could take on the world, which you implied with wonderful imagery, I might add, is something I really like. Most stories, including the cannon comics, if I'm honest, leave most of the real survival and action to the Senshi (or Shitennou). It's nice to see that you kept the focus on the guardians, but let us know that the other two are not the prince and princess for nothing.

Ok, as you can see I still have the "overly long review" problem, so I'm going to leave it here. I'm glad you two are still kicking. I know life's hectic, but I'm sure I'll catch you guys again someday. Take care!

Shadowglen

it was good i liked it

There was a lot of good resolution, but I felt as if Mako and Kazu never really resolved their conversation from the first chapter. Thanks for posting, though! Submit them all!

Yeah for happy endings! ^_^

I love the angst and the play on the mis-matching of the characters. Please continue.

Aww Poor Rei

I hope that's not really the end! But thanks for posting, I love stories where all the characters get together!

Great chapter, the read light fantastic, as well as foreshawdoing and the dreamer's kingdom and they were great as well. can't wait for the next one
