Oh my gosh, I'm so happy people are still interested in this story!!!! This really makes me so happy :') Thank you @random-mailbox 💜
I've left it hanging for awhile so I should probably say that I'm definitely going to be continuing it at some point. The next chapter is half written and was *reallyyy* close to being posted before life stuff got in the way, since then I just don't have the energy for the things I was really interested in before.
That said, I will not abandon the story and I promise I will eventually come back to finish it. From the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry for leaving you on a cliffhanger </3
TLDR of why I'm not updating right now, someone very close to me recently passed away and because of that it's been pretty hard for me to get back into my hobbies as of right now. I'm working my way back into the little things again
Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 11 - In-Progress Fics
This week I wanted to touch on some of the awesome in-progress stories that have been updated or started in the last 12 months that I CANNOT wait to see more chapters get posted for. I understand that there are different circumstances that might be preventing them from being updated but as a reader, direction they are going is very exciting and I am holding my fingers (and toes) crossed that we will get more of them soon!
As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).
Business Proposal - @sweet-dreams-of-willow-trees
This is @sweet-dreams-of-willow-trees first foray into fic writing and is inspired by the Business Proposal K-Drama. Don’t be fooled though, it is a super fun take that is refreshingly different and stays true to the Sailor Moon characterizations. Usagi goes to meet a gentleman in Rei’s place, and as the initial fibs start unravelling, Usagi agrees to a proposal that she might come to regret. We got left on a cliffhanger, so hopefully we get to see more of it.
Close to Home - @daikon1
Amazing roommates to (hopefully??) lovers story! Mamoru suggests that Usagi moves in with him, since they have been best friends forever, she needs to move out anyway, spends her time at his apartment regularly and, most importantly, he is secretly in love with her. There are so few stories that fall under this trope, that I am very excited for @daikon1 to post more of it.
Once More, with Feeling! - @riverlethe
An awesome take on the Dark Kingdom Arc that is refreshingly different. We got left off a the part where Mamoru has been taken and they are trying to get him back. This one delves into the emotional impacts of the events more than any other version I have read. I think I have seen somewhere that there should be a new chapter up soon!
Surprises at Night - @kaitoscarlett
This one got posted initially during the UsaMamo Week this summer and the story coming to a head with how far we have gotten into this multi-chapter. I have thoroughly enjoyed the focus on food and drinks that has been a thread that has been woven through the chapters, as we are watching progression from enemies to reluctant friends to something more. (Side note: I would love to see more of It's the most wonderful time to pretend too!)
Unexpected Wishes - @sailorvsredmask
Here is another first effort into Sailor Moon fandom writing that has a very unique concept, so hopefully we will get to see how this one progresses. On his birthday Mamoru makes a wish. And somehow the universe makes it come true. Now he gets to try and figure out his life getting flipped completely upside down.
The Long Way Home - @idesofnovember
If you read the comments on this story on AO3, you probably would have noticed similarities getting called out between this one and their All In story that will eventually make an appearance in our series (currently slotted into Fix-it fics). Initial premise in both is that Mamoru and Usagi part ways at some point and Setsuna comes to both of them explaining that to make sure ChibiUsa is born, they need to make some decisions quickly. I am very much enjoying this updated take on the story and how much it shines the light on Usagi’s feelings through everything we have seen so far.
Ray of Sunshine - @shnuggletea
This is a fun non-senshi AU and has a widower Mamoru together with his son moving in next door to a painter Usagi. Even though we have only gotten 2 chapters into this story, it definitely shows potential and I thoroughly enjoy @shnuggletea 's writing style (you should check out her other stories too!)
There are a few stories that I am subscribed to but am waiting for them to wrap up before reading - these have been recommended to me by other awesome authors within the fandom. I am very much excited for the day these are completed:
@master-ray5 has suggested Sailor Moon X by @starlingsinclair and Just Paperwork by Simpl3Em0tions
@beej88 has been suggesting I start reading Puppeteer by @floraone ASAP!
@areptiledysfunction1107 has suggested The Shepherd and the Moon by @reispinkoveralls
Next week we will have Mutual Pining as the trope to cover based on request from @areptiledysfunction1107

All Usagi wanted was some help getting her feet on the ground, working with her longtime friend Minako sounded like the perfect way to get herself together!That is until she starts getting roped into all kinds of shenanigan's by working there, like letting herself get talked into going on a blind date as a replacement to intentionally make the guy dislike her. Too bad nothing ever works out the way Usagi intends them to when this guy ends up being interested in her regardless of how she acted.

Ahhh, I'm new to writing fanfictions but decided to join the Sailor Moon fandom for my own Smutember contribution, that said I haven't decided on if I should keep this light as a lime or go all the way to lemon town on my first try. Using the fake dating prompt and possibly the office sex if I can write something out well enough!! This is going to have various chapters as it's a little project I write while I'm bored at work lol I haven't decided how many chapters there will be in total but if anyone's wondering, I've written out a lot already (it's not going to be short) and I'm just waiting out publishing them so I don't feel like I'm getting behind on updating.
@floraone I just wanted to say thank you for writing such awesome works that ended up inspiring me to join in this year!
