Sorry I have been on a Sailor Moon kick lately. I just like reading good fanfiction, and I have been so blah lately, and Sailor Moon is a fandom where I like romance. I just can't help it. It's a whole damn show about the power of love, leaave me alone!
AU. Serena/Darien. He's in a gang, and she's a troubled high school cheerleader. Love.
Really well-written, imo.

"Hands Fall Together" by Kihin Ranno
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2089055/1/Hands-Fall-Together
Why is this fic not finished? :( I imagine there's still a lot to go, but goodness I need some kind of closure.
Sailor Moon AU: Luna finds Mamoru and becomes his guardian.
It's the best kind of AU, where canon is at the heart of the story. This is how Sailor Moon would go if the main character was Tuxedo Kamen.
Luna and Mamoru don't particularly get along (in fact, Mamoru tends to do the opposite of Luna's wishes), and Mamoru's powers are too weak to do anything and everybody pretty much makes fun of him. But it also turns out his most powerful weapon in battle is self-sacrifice. He will take a bullet (or energy ball) for anyone... even if they don't need it. He's also so, so wonderfully sarcastic.
Additionally, Amy and Mamoru form a great team. (The scenes between the two of them are easily my favorite; no romance there because they are both too analytical to even consider it, but that's what makes their companionship so unique.)
On the other hand, true to canon, Mamoru's life is pretty depressing and empty. He doesn't tell the scouts about the Princess dreams because of course he wouldn't. And his interactions with Usagi are limited (she is only in a few chapters), but let's just say there's more to his annoyance with her than the anime lets on.
And this isn't a spoiler, but why can't Usagi just figure out who he is, like, for real? Motoki's close to figuring him out, though, and I can't wait for that shoe to drop.
Anyway, I will end here. Great story. Rei's written perfectly in-character as well. (Particularly amusing is her infatuation with Mamoru and his complete obliviousness to it.)
The nice thing about having Mamoru, Ami and Rei work together is they are all from broken families. It adds a gravity to their superhero-dom. They're teeenagers who don't have much else.
We haven't officially met Jupiter yet, but her time must be coming if this is ever finished.......
This is one of my favorite SM stories EVER. Do you love the beginning of the show but just wish it was written kind of different? Then read this. And tell this girl to finish it. Or I will, I guess.
Read the story then respond to my queries in the spoiler.

Sailor Moon?!? What?!? "Don't Stand So Close" by Final Saturn
Almost five years to the day since I posted my last fic. I still read Fanfiction but not as much as I used to. Most people may be surprised to find I am a literary snob irl, but it's all true.
That said, I am sucker for Mamoru/Usagi from Sailor Moon, specifically the early stories (from original anime) that are full of fluffy goodness. It is my mindless drivel and I love it.
In this story Mamoru is Usagi's substitute teacher. Zaniness ensues.
