Parts of this have been in my head for months, but the other night I couldn't sleep and this came to me instead, so. Thanks, muse?

I am officially claiming this for Mercury March. Also putting it in memories, because it is incredible. I can't say anything without echoing what everyone else has already said about it, but I am truly in awe of your characterizations of all of them, and as with every single bit of Monstersoxverse I OMNOMNOMNOMFEEDMEMOARFICNAO, I'm left craving more. Soo many questions! I want to know everyone's backstory. I want to know how everyone interacts with everyone else, shippy and otherwise. I adore senshi/shitennou friendships, not just romantic ships, as you well know, and you write it so well. SO WELL.

BRAVO!

Thank you, dear! I'm so glad you like it! And I think I remember telling myself that I should work on this for Mercury March, and then promptly forgot all about it, so yay for subconsciously fulfilling the theme!

I am slowly trying to work through everyone's backstory. I must also make time for friendship tie-ins. So much to do!

I like how Ami is very in character and how he fits himself around her insecurities and gives her that control but also helps her to push her own boundaries, it's brilliant. Minako 'helping' by lending Ami her clothes is hilarious (what was she thinking?). And then how she dresses up in a style that's more her own but still a little wilder (him noticing that skirt and all the details was great) and he can't keep his eyes off her. It's brilliant, I'm jealous.

Haha, I'm guessing she pulled a Minako and got carried away thinking that Ami was going to magically break out of her shell and seduce her man with excess amounts of flesh. Too bad she didn't anticipate that Sasha thinks more deeply about clothes than "the thing that gets in the way of sex" and that Ami wasn't as ready to wear it as she claimed to be.

Yeah, Sasha is that rare guy who notices clothes and thinks seriously about them and the impact they have. Also, I don't think he would be interested in Ami if she WERE the type of girl to flash excess amounts of flesh. Anyone can do that after all. :)

This is one of the best portrayals of Ami I've ever read. Her insecurities are usually made comic relief, so a genuine exploration of those insecurities going crashing into her desires is very powerful, and you just feel for her at all points.

I love the exploration of how Minako gets her all glammed out and it just isn't her, and then Abby is able to size her up and make her feel so much more at ease. You can really feel Ami coming out of her shell as the clothes change.

Very well done.
