The first time he’d met her, Mamoru saw red.

To be precise, it was a red ‘F,’ followed by a stain of red on her cheeks.  He, who was usually so calm, so collected, had somehow found himself red in the cheeks as well, shouting at this girl who was only a stranger.  When she’d finally stormed away, he’d been left shaking his ( Read more... )

Christmastime had always been bittersweet for Mamoru.  He didn’t have a family to share the occasion with.  He had never, to his recollection, woken up and gone running into his parents’ bedroom to jump on their bed and excitedly proclaim that Santa had been there.  There had never been a pile of Christmas presents for him under the ( Read more... )

Usagi had a very set idea of what a picnic should be.  It involved slight breeze, a fun, flirty sundress, and a checkered blanket. It involved a basket stuffed with Mako-chan’s lunches, her closest friends, and maybe a game or two of Frisbee.

It most certainly did not involve a certain jerk sprawled out all over her ( Read more... )

“She’s beautiful, your majesty,” Pluto said politely, flicking her gaze towards the silver-haired babe that would one day be the downfall of their civilization.

Queen Serenity stared down at her newborn daughter and ran a hand through her downy hair. Adoration was in every movement, every touch, every glance. “Thank you ( Read more... )
