Oh wow, loved the imagery of Mamoru's pain when "called" to duty! Well, of course I hated everything else LOL, but I see how those elements were necessary for the story to show exactly how painful the "call to duty" might be for him, esp when he's not close to his Usa and wants freedom.

(of course hotaru would have kicked mamoru's ass for screwing with the light of hope and erasing chibiusa, LOL, but I can suspend disbelief for such a well thought-out idea!)

first of all, i have to say this was a very interesting story. but i am a hardcore serena/darien fic and i didn't like the way he treated her. if you must put him with setsuna, then do so but you shouldn't have him act like such a jerk.

second, please don't categorize this fic with the characters "usagi and mamoru". it might be best suited in "mamoru and setsuna" (i think she's a character listed). then more people are warned of the 'ship.

nice work nonetheless. please don't take this as a flame, it wasn't meant to be one. :)

I really enjoyed this very much. I always thought Darien and Setsuna made a better pairing. LOL

OMG! NO Im sorry.. but NO WAY! That was so wrong! I did not like it AT ALL. As a fair reviewer I will say that it was nicely writting you didnt have any grammatical errors but you totally killed the point of SAILOR MOON. UCK.. I need to go read an Usagi and Mamoru fanfic right now before I go ballistic. Bye!

Ah, very good Nate! It was a very positive way for Darien to leave, without beating her up or otherwise trying to leave her for dead. _* And even though they truly do care for each other in the manga/anime series, I still enjoy seeing good stories, where they don't end up together.

*Sniffle* Awsome.

wow... I don't know what to say... this is... umm... okay, that's it! I'm speechless... i mean, this defies logic... woah! *sigh* i hope you'll write more in the future, I enjoyed reading the story, I just need a few minute (more like a few hours) to get over the shock...

This is my review. I don't like it. Guess I'm a Serena and Darien or I like Serena/Usagi I mean she may not b that graceful, smart, or a great fighter. But she's always there if u ever need her. She'll cheer u up and gives her life 4 u. She doesn't care what people say bout u but she'll b your friend. She always looks 4 the good in people and defend u. No matter what happens 2 her. I mean She never wante leader or princees but she had 2 b. Even if u once was evil and if u will b good she'll help u. Serena/Usagi had chances with other guys but she was true 2 her love. Will said what I wanted 2 say. So BYE!

"Eternal Entrapment" sounds like a good title, Nate! Well, the idea of Setsuna and Darien isn't a new one; and definitely not a well-received one, either. You're very brave to write this, I'll give you that! I had heard a rumor that Setsuna was in love with Darien/Endymion in the manga... or maybe I just read it on another fanfic. _* Anyway, great job on this! I enjoyed it.

Awesome! I love it, but I need more. I like the title "Chained to You" the best. Great story.

*coughs* Well, that was certainly interesting. I like your writing style, you seem to be very talented at writing fanfiction, though I didn't like the plot to this story. From the likes of this story, you don't seem to be a Serena/Darien fan, but I could be wrong about that. We each have our own opinions as to if they make a good couple or not, and I personally think that they make the best couple. Please don't regard this as a flame, I do like your writing, just not what it is about. _

How about The Chains of Duty?

This is a very good and well-thought out story, which brings up some rather intriguing concepts. The idea of Mamoru - of, perhaps, all of the senshi - being akin to puppets at Usagi's beck and call is a fresh and undoubtably chilling perpesctive. The romance shown here is also nicely done, and Mamoru's desire to break away is understandable. Do not let the close-mindedness of some reviewers throw you off this story: while I also support Usagi/Mamoru, that does not keep me from liking this tale. Not everything has to conform to a majority's viewpoint; otherwise, fanfiction itself would be pointless.

I am a big fan of Serena/Darien pairing that is why

I did not like this story. In fact I don't like any story that pairs them up with other people. People who thinks that Darien is not good for Serena needs to read the manga, the real version of SM, so that they will see how sweet Darien really is and how they love each other even before they knew their identities. You're a good writer but I just don't like the pairing. I read this because I thought it was a Serena/Darien pairing and I was so disappointed that it wasn't.

So I didn't exactly expect people to fall in love with the story.

First of all, it's in Angst/Drama. I don't know why so many of you still expected a happy ending. The titles I suggested were all negative. And if you'd even read the Note & Summary, you should've figured out that there was a good chance that a devoted Serena/Darien fan wouldn't like the story. And if you're too close-minded about SM to accept any other couple but Serena/Darien, I don't want you reading my fics, anyway.

I do appreciate those who actually offered helpful criticism and feedback. And I'm not going to erase any flames. I think I'll just leave them there so all my readers can see what idiocy really looks like.
