Ahhh~ Great Christmas present! Love this 'verse to bits. No time for detailed review but-- love the love the interactions in general-- curious where Endymion is off at. Also read the other new FHQ's fic- LOVE that you switch the planets up!!!

Many thanks for dropping me these lines over the holidays! So glad you liked these pieces; your enthusiasm for this verse is really wonderful :) I was a bit worried about switching the planets up since I thought the new names (especially for the girls) might be hard enough to keep track of already, but I thought it fit better this way.

That's what I love about the verse. =P You work the canon we have around the unique take on the characters you made. So it's all very familiar, but also very original!

I love the planet assignments. :3 Zoi and Neph as Venesians and Martians is so perfect! And Kunzite as Jovian! I love that! Partially because you suggest the usually smooth and polished fellow had rougher edges at first-- but also because of how much it FITS in my head, with his height and his rank and the planets connection to law and order and Zeus and stuff. Also, Jadeite as Mercurian! Scholarly and academic! I haven't seen him written like that too often-- though, IIRC, it says in the Materials collection that he's actually supposed to be the serious sort! Not sure if that's the direction you're going, but either way, very curious to see what you chose to do. :3

You continue to have a talent for names! They sound very SilMil-ish but it's clear who is who, at least for me...
