Clean by Don
Long multi-chapter, Japanese names. Ah, the infamous illustration of the consequences of utopia. Guilt over what she has done in her role as a Sailor Senshi, and the effects of her actions on the rest of the world, drives Aino Minako away from Crystal Tokyo and into a series of painful experiences. Deeply philosophical, and often tortured, this is not a fic to read if you want all the pieces of your head to still be in order at the end. Strength: Plot.

For Want of Moon by Donny Cheng
Long one-shot, Japanese names. Even the Queen of Crystal Tokyo needs a day off once in a while. On such a day, Neo-Queen Serenity reverts to Usagi and visits all her friends in their new lives. Her characteristic innocence prevents her from realizing that the girls' love for her extends far deeper than mere friendship. A fun story to cheer yourself up with after surviving "Clean." ^.~ Strength: Characterization.
*This fic is R-rated and contains yuri (girl/girl) themes, but no hentai material.*

Usagi's Secret Admirer by DQBunny
Long one-shot, Japanese names. With Mamoru away at school over Valentine's Day, who is sending Usagi love letters and gifts? An adorable and fluffy story with touches of both seriousness and humor. Strength: Plot.

The Right Decision by DQBunny
Long one-shot, Japanese names. A rewrite of the episodes of the anime immediately following the defeat of Pharaoh 90. After the climactic battle, Usagi struggles to come to terms with deciding to save Hotaru at such a high cost, an internal fight which threatens to destroy her and the tentative bonds between Inner and Outer Senshi. Strength: Plot.

The Choices We Make by Draegyn
Long multi-chapter, Japanese names. A Silver Millennium fic. One decision can change so much, especially when the choice involves the fate of Queen Serenity's daughter - will she become the heir to the Moon Kingdom, or leave her home forever to become a Sailor Senshi? To be honest, I haven't finished reading this story yet, but it intrigued me from the very beginning. Strength: Plot.
*Several chapters of this story are unwrapped.*
