I must admit, being a hard core Usa Mamo fan, I rarely like pairings outside that realm. However, this piece was very well done and I truly enjoyed it! Keep up the good work! You are an amazing writer!

Yes, sweet and sad all in one draught, but oh, what a sweet draught, and one I keep coming back, for more and it hits me again with full force and I love it, *wishes for Lady Pluto* ^^ Beautiful ficlet!

I love Usagi and Mamoru, Serenity and Endymion, or whatever you want to call them and I ship them blindly... but sometimes -- and this happens rarely -- I find an excellent read that goes beyond that boundary. This fic is one of them.

I love stories about the forbidden because it keeps you at the edge of your seat and wanting more. I mean, its fiction, right? What is it that plagues our mind with that eternal question "What if...?"

Anywho, awesome descriptions of their emotions and I absolutely loved how you differentiated between Mamoru and Endymion. Great job!

Oh I love this story, short and says a lot and I like how you write outside the borderline of canon so wickedly cool and good, and do it so well. More original plots and takes on the Sailor Moon characters, please Araya!

This touches the heat, especially when you love somebody, and you can't have them. Beautiful, though sad. ^^

Your descriptions are beautiful, and you do an excellent job of making the reader feel for Setsuna. I think your choice to use present tense works very well for this story. There were a few small grammar mistakes I noticed (for example, a period at the end of a quote where there should have been a comma, and one place where you lapsed into past tense.)

As for personal opinions: The only thing that really bugs me about this story is that Setsuna was fine with letting Mamoru go back to Usagi and pretend that nothing happened. Usagi's fiance just flat-out admitted that he loves another woman more than her. The fact that she turned him down doesn't change that. True, as the time guardian Pluto may be responsible for watching over destiny, but in this case it's kind of to Serenity's detriment, and I wish that side of things had been touched upon more.

Anyway, this has some great moments of intense emotion, and it ends on a note of mixed heartbreak and resolve that suits Pluto perfectly. Nice story!

Magnificent ficlet!

In this pathos filled gem we see a depth of great talent, a writer who can set a mood, capture us with images and touch our heart,

She paints for us a picture of two people whose destinies are placed in the balance, weighed upon the scales of the heart and that of duty!

Oh, how powerful is love as it is the multi-faceted gateway that can run in many directions, but for Mamoru and Setsuna, there is but only one path they can walk...or is there?:D

Beautifully penned, Lady Araya-chan!

*hands you a Tux rose and a time staff, winks and bows* =^_^=

Great story. I love how you have described how Pluto feels but in the end she chooses duty and friendship over the forbidden fruit.
