You, every night.
then and now
still my favorite work of them
approaching the wip carefully from the side like a skittish animal. speaking in a low, gentle voice so it doesn’t run away
Hey Sailor Moon-Fans, who have been to Japan! I am planning my trip in October. Can you tell me some places to must-see as a Sailor Moon-Fan? Yes, I googled, but I‘d love to hear personal recommendations 💖
This is me right now! 🤣🤣🤣
Sooo… I was finally able to write some passages for the last chapter of Surprises at Night 🤩
Every year one of my resolutions for the new year is: Do more of what makes you happy a.k.a. be creative.
Work and life stuff sometimes sucks out all of my energy and all i can do is function. And then being unable to do anything artsy gets me even more drained.
Even though I don’t believe in the phrase „new year - new me“, I want to see the new year as a new chance and don’t be too hard on myself, when I don’t feel like doing something. To take a real break is necessary and hobbies are not a duty.
Even if I haven’t written much, I’m still happy, that I did write something.
I hope to publish that chapter this month. *fingers crossed*
Of course… I was a little bit too enthusiastic and optimistic. Sorry if anyone is waiting for the last chapter. 🫠 but maybe soon?

To all the fic writers out there that are not currently writing. Either it's because of RL, health, writer's block or something has happened that have disheartened you. Thank you for what you've written, and don't ever feel pressured or stressed - fanfic should be something good for all of us; both reader and writer. You're more important than what you do, but thank you for what you've done!
So much to do, but instead I just do nothing 😊
Why am I like this?!
UsaMamo Week 2023 - Master Post
Thank you to everyone who participated, reblogged, commented, liked and gave kudos. Thank you to everyone who was a beta / cheerleader behind the scenes. This event turned out amazingly well and we are so happy to see both new faces and some old friends participate this year. (And don't forget about our "Meet the Creators" series, to learn a little more about people in this fandom)
To make sure none of the amazing works that have been created for this UsaMamo Week have been missed, we have compiled them all into this master post (in alphabetical order by the creator):
Stories:
@caelenath - UsaMamo Week 2023 - Day 4: Beach
The whole situation was any red-blooded man's dream—nine gorgeous women in swimwear, a dreamy sunset, and a legitimate excuse to ogle them from every angle.
But he had eyes for only one...
@daikon1 :
Moon Sake Bottle Action!
Somehow at a houseparty with Usagi, Mamoru feels totally out of his depth - until Minako suggests they liven things up a bit. But can an unusual talent for carnival games be leveraged into a kiss with his crush??
A Royal Audience
Once upon a time, there was an extremely self-centered mentor...
Ten Ways to Say 'I Love You'
A portrait of Usagi and Mamoru’s relationship over the years, told in letters, poems, and journal entries.
There Was Only One... Stowaway on the School Beach Trip
It was the perfect summer scheme... and then Mamoru had walked into the train compartment.
Mamoru's Anxiety: A Love Letter for Usagi!
Filling in a 'missing scene' from Usagi's Joy: A Love Letter From Tuxedo Mask - What does Mamoru think about Usagi receiving a love letter from his alter-ego?
Keyrings, and Chaos, and Gender Expectations, Oh My!
Galaxia may have been defeated, but the patriarchy is still alive and well. With some help from Sailor Moon, Mamoru has a few things to say about that!!
Fe(e)line
As Tsukino Usagi awoke one morning from pleasant dreams, she found herself transformed in her bed into an adorable kitty.
@goddessalthena :
Dear Mamo-chan
"I'll write. And I'll call," he promised. "So...I expect you to write me all the time."
"...I will," she vowed.
But only one of them kept their word.
Picture Perfect
It was a perfect day. Almost too good to be true.
Usagi & Mamoru share a few firsts as they bask in the first blush of young love.
@kaitoscarlett - The words I couldn't say
After their first night together, Usagi finds herself waking up alone in Mamoru's apartment. While waiting for him, she explores his book shelf and finds something, she probably shouldn't read.
@lilliebellfanfics :
Day 1: Kiss Game
Summary: Usagi and Mamoru are chosen as the next contestants in Minako's pop-up competitions. They expect something weird and zany like the previous ones... not a kissing game. Well, kissing or not, Usagi says bring it on.
Day 4: There was only one...
Usagi's investigating a series of energy bursts at Tokyo Dome City amusement park. With so many unknowns--what was the source of the energy? Was it Zoisite or a new enemy?--the last thing she wants to do is share a ride on the Ferris wheel with Mamoru.
Day 7: Midnight / Fireworks
"One thing I love about prompts is they get me writing for my WIPs! I bring you another scene from DFD, but this is much much later than the current arc. For reasons, Usagi ends up staying at Mamoru's place. Things get hot & steamy, and here's a scene from somewhere in the middle."
Day 5: Free Day
The Tsukino clan are about to hit the slopes as the next part of their winter competition. Usagi is a clear winner and she's excited to beat Shingo on the double black diamond and win points for her team... only Mamoru's never skied before. Shit.
(Also Christmas Markets and kissing)
@master-ray5 - Lips Of An Angel
Mamoru gets a call on his lunch break from his Ex in Japan.
@random-mailbox - Love Letter (Poem)
Poem inspired by the Stars arc in the Anime
@riverlethe - Game Night
Minako organizes (by throwing together at the very last minute) Game Night to help the senshi blow off some steam on a rare night off.
Rei picked a small red box up off the table. “‘Love Letter’?” she grimaced. “This is going to be a long night, isn’t it?”
@sailormoonandme - Year of the Rabbit. UsaMamo Week 2023
Unbeknownst to anyone else, Serenity and Endymion arrange a secret rendezvous on the beach. Manga Canon.
@speak-mnemosyne1 :
Trust
In a dark, cramped space with stifling air, something in the chemistry between two people transformed. The universe fell away and, in those seven minutes, actions had no consequences.
But this.. this felt more like Seven Minutes in Hell.
Magnolias
For the prince of Earth, there was only one girl in the entire Solar System with whom falling in love was forbidden..
Present
“Just for a year… but I may end up staying longer than that.” Mamoru tried to swallow back the words as they left his mouth. He hated lying to Usagi, hated the way her blue eyes looked up at him with oceans of love.
@spei-sidus :
Lucky Bunny
Day 1: Year of the Rabbit / Kiss Game
Forgiven
Sailor Moon is forgiven by Tuxedo Kamen for Serenity's final actions
An Ode to the Rose
Valentine's Day is coming up and the girls decide, since they weren't giving chocolates to anyone, to write love letters to give to their future boyfriends.
The Binoculars
A day at the beach leads Mamoru to ask Usagi out.
Free Day
Neo Queen Serenity goes back in time to go on a date with First Season Mamoru.
Like a Fairy
An injured Usagi leads the nijizuishou to not only replenish her energy, but also form the Ginzuishou.
Moonlight Musings
Some midnight musings for our roaming heroine.
@wishwars - Confessions Left Unsaid
At the end of Season 1, Episode 3 of the 90s anime, Usagi decides to write a love letter to Tuxedo Mask. What if Mamoru reads it?

My contribution for Day 3 for @usamamoweek2023 <3
The first weeks of dating are exciting. Usagi is more than sure about her feelings for Mamoru. But what about him? Usagi finds out through a piece of paper she finds hidden in a book.
Day 3: Love Letters/ Poetry
Big thanks to the hosts and all the other contributors! I haven't had the time to catch up on the other works, but I will soon <3

Hey everyone! Here's chapter 6 for my ummmm contribution for UsaMamoWeek2022 lol.
Very sorry for the delay! Hope you'll like it. <3
Close to Home - Chapter 4
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Moving day! With Usagi’s many reservations and Minako in the mix, what could possibly go right wrong?
Ah! This makes me so happy! 🤩
Another wonderful chapter from one of my favourite authors 💖
This reminds me to start writing again! 🥺
Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 11 - In-Progress Fics
This week I wanted to touch on some of the awesome in-progress stories that have been updated or started in the last 12 months that I CANNOT wait to see more chapters get posted for. I understand that there are different circumstances that might be preventing them from being updated but as a reader, direction they are going is very exciting and I am holding my fingers (and toes) crossed that we will get more of them soon!
As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).
Business Proposal - @sweet-dreams-of-willow-trees
This is @sweet-dreams-of-willow-trees first foray into fic writing and is inspired by the Business Proposal K-Drama. Don’t be fooled though, it is a super fun take that is refreshingly different and stays true to the Sailor Moon characterizations. Usagi goes to meet a gentleman in Rei’s place, and as the initial fibs start unravelling, Usagi agrees to a proposal that she might come to regret. We got left on a cliffhanger, so hopefully we get to see more of it.
Close to Home - @daikon1
Amazing roommates to (hopefully??) lovers story! Mamoru suggests that Usagi moves in with him, since they have been best friends forever, she needs to move out anyway, spends her time at his apartment regularly and, most importantly, he is secretly in love with her. There are so few stories that fall under this trope, that I am very excited for @daikon1 to post more of it.
Once More, with Feeling! - @riverlethe
An awesome take on the Dark Kingdom Arc that is refreshingly different. We got left off a the part where Mamoru has been taken and they are trying to get him back. This one delves into the emotional impacts of the events more than any other version I have read. I think I have seen somewhere that there should be a new chapter up soon!
Surprises at Night - @kaitoscarlett
This one got posted initially during the UsaMamo Week this summer and the story coming to a head with how far we have gotten into this multi-chapter. I have thoroughly enjoyed the focus on food and drinks that has been a thread that has been woven through the chapters, as we are watching progression from enemies to reluctant friends to something more. (Side note: I would love to see more of It's the most wonderful time to pretend too!)
Unexpected Wishes - @sailorvsredmask
Here is another first effort into Sailor Moon fandom writing that has a very unique concept, so hopefully we will get to see how this one progresses. On his birthday Mamoru makes a wish. And somehow the universe makes it come true. Now he gets to try and figure out his life getting flipped completely upside down.
The Long Way Home - @idesofnovember
If you read the comments on this story on AO3, you probably would have noticed similarities getting called out between this one and their All In story that will eventually make an appearance in our series (currently slotted into Fix-it fics). Initial premise in both is that Mamoru and Usagi part ways at some point and Setsuna comes to both of them explaining that to make sure ChibiUsa is born, they need to make some decisions quickly. I am very much enjoying this updated take on the story and how much it shines the light on Usagi’s feelings through everything we have seen so far.
Ray of Sunshine - @shnuggletea
This is a fun non-senshi AU and has a widower Mamoru together with his son moving in next door to a painter Usagi. Even though we have only gotten 2 chapters into this story, it definitely shows potential and I thoroughly enjoy @shnuggletea 's writing style (you should check out her other stories too!)
There are a few stories that I am subscribed to but am waiting for them to wrap up before reading - these have been recommended to me by other awesome authors within the fandom. I am very much excited for the day these are completed:
@master-ray5 has suggested Sailor Moon X by @starlingsinclair and Just Paperwork by Simpl3Em0tions
@beej88 has been suggesting I start reading Puppeteer by @floraone ASAP!
@areptiledysfunction1107 has suggested The Shepherd and the Moon by @reispinkoveralls
Next week we will have Mutual Pining as the trope to cover based on request from @areptiledysfunction1107

Thank you for including me in this list @random-mailbox 😍
I feel very honoured!
Life is pretty busy, but I started to write the next chapter.
Very proud of myself, because I wrote 5 sentences yesterday. For the past couple of weeks I had zero motivation for anything, so even if it’s a really small step, it felt like progress.
What keeps you motivated? I need tips!
🌸
I Know All About Your Reputation (This Is Bound To Be A Heartbreak Situation)
For years, Mamoru has watched from afar as Usagi hooked up with practically any patron of Fruits Parlor… except for him. With an assist from Unazuki, this Friday night might go differently…

Thank you @floraone for coordinating smutember 2022 (and generally being amazing)!!! 🥰
