written.

I'm always interested in feedback.
It consists of two parts. The prologue which begins shortly after Sailor V started operating and wraps up with the destruction of the Dark Kingdom. The main story picks up six months later in the interval between the departure of Ali & Ann and the arrival of Chibi-Usa.
Probably my most popular story and the Dark Kingdom Renegade characters have become popular fan creations. Which lead to a phase of writing nothing but DKR stories set on the periphery of the Sailor Moon universe. I'm trying to do more with the original cast but I keep coming back to them.
Bad Moon Rising
The Senshi themselves don't appear in this one which is largely set in the MegaTokyo of
Bubblegum Crisis. This is largely a crossover between the DKR and the Knight Sabers
playing by the
rules of the BGC universe. Much as I like Sailor Moon and Bubblegum Crisis there's no way to
reasonably integrate them into the same world. In SM nobody gets hurt except the senshi and the
villains. Innocent bystanders have incredible luck. In BGC civilians drop like flies and the
villains are a lot worse.
Compare all four Generals and Brian Mason then ask yourself who spread more pain and misery.
But I had an idea for preserving this difference and still making a crossover work. Hence this
story. Plenty of people have told me it worked and they enjoyed the story. Despite my pulling
one of the oldest SM fic cliches in the book. Occurs during the 4 Uncanny Sisters run as lead villains in SMR.
Triangles Have Sharp Edges
A Bad Moon Rising sidestory
Having finally reached his limit with always being second to Calcite in Azurite's heart Pyrite vents his frustrations then walks out on the group. Heartbroken and alone he flees across MegaTokyo recalling the events that lead to the whole sorry situation.
Remembrance Day
I wrote this one after Sam Ashley pointed out that back in "Refugees" Naru ran into the false Nephrite and had no way of knowing it wasn't the real one back from the grave. I combined it with a discovery Calcite made in "Bad Moon Rising" to write
this quiet little tale about remembering Nephrite. Set during
SMR not long after the previous story.
Valentine's Day
Inspired by the Valentine's Day episodes of Marmalade Boy and
Blue Green Years (among others) I came up with this story set in Titanite's schooldays. Which recounts the DKR's youngest member's feelings about a particular terrestrial holiday.
Cute and
Continua
I wrote this one while I was hammering away on "Thy Kingdom Come". I felt I needed a break so I'd do a lighter piece for a
change. Initially the concept was Cal & Azure have their own Bogus Journey style misadventure but that seemed insufficent. So I threw in a meeting with Esmeraude of the Black Moon Family as a catalyst and it grew from there. It also served to fill in a large blank spot in the DKR timeline. Along with getting Sailors Polaris and Arcturus back into the limelight.
Girls' Night Out
One thing I learned from this one was to always check my facts.
The initial version had two of the Deathbusters combined into a
single character. So you got Mimette with Eudial's personality and weaponary. Luckily I was able to rewrite it without too much trouble. The story itself arose from a notion about what would happen if Azurite and Margrave had to try and get along for a change. There's a cameo by Neptune & Uranus but no other senshi involvement.
Titanite's Bogus
Journey
While writing the Bubblegum Crisis crossover I wondered if other anime crossovers would work and left the door open for a future story. Initially intended as a light piece it evolved a bit to include a vital link to "Thy Kingdom Come" along with a trial by
fire for Titanite. But it's mainly a slapstick and action comedy type of story. Besides bringing in Cityhunter and Ranma 1/2 it also gave me the chance to try writing a non hentai Legend of the Overfiend crossover without drastically rewriting the
source material. Again no senshi appear ... at least none of the
original ones though SMS is occuring in the background.

The S Files
With so much weird stuff happening in Tokyo you'd expect the
authorities to step in and try to contain the damage. But they
never do and the public seems unaware they're living on the
razor's edge so you have to wonder are they truly ignorant of the
danger they face or is somebody supressing the truth? To Detective Kasumi Nogami the question is absurb as the Sailor Senshi don't exist. At least that's what she said before she was assigned to a special investigative unit.
Breaking Point
Anyone remember Usagi's old friend Osaku Naru and her geeky boyfriend Umino Gurio? Believe it or not they stayed as a couple and eventually became Mr & Mrs Umino. Sadly not every love story
ends happily ever after as readers of Frank Barr's Case of the Missing Senshi already know. For those who haven't read it there's a lot about Naru (voted Tokyo's favorite monster snack) that you don't know yet. Warning! More than a little dark.
Venus At Apogee
This originated from wondering what the adult Senshi were doing in the interval between SMS* and the creation of Crystal Tokyo in
2015 (According to the SME timeline). It kicked off a small group discussion on what everyone does after they grow up that
we're mining for future stories. This one concerns a low point in Minako's life.
Best Laid Plans
It's the spring of 2017 and love is in the air. Calcite and
Minako are moving towards making it official unaware that there are those who will stop at nothing to see that they don't wed.
Part 1 (of 4) - An Interrupted Proposal
My Dinner With Ferrite
About 150 years after Crystal Tokyo's founding Azurite and Ferrite get together hoping to get a few answers out of each other about things that trouble them.
Sentai Bogosity
This one needs a little explanation. Christian Gadeken, SME's
most reclusive member, in one of his rare periods of activity came up with the Continuing Bogosity of Titanite series. Which has the now adult Titanite getting Queen Serenity's permission to investigate the
surrounding dimensions. Allegedly for security risks but mainly for the sheer fun of exploring other anime worlds. Christian's
stories are light little snippets not intended to be taken
too seriously. Unfortunately I have trouble with light and short
so when challenged to do a Power Rangers style installement of
Bogosity this is what I came up with.
Crystal Tokyo Snapshots: Rei
The first story I wrote from a senshi's POV. On her thousandth
birthday Rei looks back on her life and times.
The Babe Wore Blue
The return of Magnesite to the SME universe. Once a powerful supervillain he's now reduced to working for the lifeforce that sustains him. It was written before Frank Barr's Case of the Missing Senshi which chronologically occurs several years earlier. Fortunately thanks to the SME ML I was able to included links to the other story from Frank's previews of what would happen in his Magnesite PI adventure.
This one concerns Ami hiring Magnesite in the late 30th century
with the Black Moon War fast approaching. Occurs shortly after
the events of "Crystal Renegades".
First Contact
Both Haruka and Azurite always assumed "Girls Night Out" was
their first meeting. They're both wrong and on Azurite's return to the moon to join the Golden Millennium Project Michiru relates the true story of their first encounter to them and the Younger Senshi.
The Night Before
On the eve of the Black Moon War the senshi reflect on the past and their future.

among people who think her mad. Unaware that's it's all downhill
from there.

Picnic In Crystal Tokyo

the new Millennium approaches and Crystal Tokyo's nobility takes
a day off. Set after the war and shortly before the Golden Millennium Crew set their plans in motion.
