Aww, say it isn't so! I love your stories!

Yay! Now I'll be on this list!

I don't know about this though (I may be remembering incorrectly,
probably am, actually, but ...). Would Serena & Darien *really* never
recover their lost love for each other? Would she *really* keep
hitting him on the head with miscellaneous items she throws around? ;)
Would he really stick around to be hit on the head by those
miscellaneous items?
One other thing that pops to mind ... Have they (Darien & Serena) seen
each other more recently than Serena & Molly have? It seems like it,
or he wouldn't be saying things like "Can't you throw anything ....".
It implies that she's been constantly doing that.

They didn't bother to keep track of the rest of the girls?

I don't know if I could imagine Luna cursing, though it does seem
appropriate here ...

What's she been eating, then? Has the food she's been buying at the
grocery store been going to waste? Or just the stuff from the produce
department? If it's the latter, it's the comment about meats that
threw me ... I don't usually find meat in the produce section. (She
hasn't been eating meats either?)

Armor? Weapons? Sailor Moon? With armor? And weapons? What kind?
She ends up using her tiara anyway ...

hacked-off? git? Hmmm, I think I'm going to have to figure out what
these mean ...

Pretty weak youma. It didn't even say anything ...

More than that, really.

I really liked this one. But then, I really like most of your
writing. ;) I hope you're planning on continuing this. It looks
like it'll develop into an interesting story. Will Darien go through
his stomach-ache transformations again when Sailor Moon's in danger?
Does he still have strange dreams about the moon princess, wondering
who he really is? Will he do the Moonlight Knight thing? Will they
find (or even try to go look for) the other girls? Has Artemis gone
to find Mina? Is Raye still at the temple?
Oh well. I'll try to be patient. :) I didn't mean for this list of
comments, I guess, to get so long. If you've gotten this far, I'll
have to say again that I hope you'll get back to writing again soon.
Take care, and good luck in whatever you're doing! Hurry back!
