I've been so busy I didn't have time to read this until now, but I'm so glad I did. I was almost moved to tears, and still find myself fighting them off after reading this. It reminds me of all of the reasons I fell so deeply in love with the anime when I was thirteen and a friend got me to sit down and watch it every day after school with her. I've slowly been collecting the manga and love it even more.

I've always felt blessed to have been drawn into the world of fanfiction, both writing and reading, and this reminds me why as well. I feel like now I can finally sit down and finish writing that first-season oneshot I was doing to try to "get back in the groove".

Also, I know this probably wasn't your intent, but I have to thank you on a personal level. Today I was stressed out and worried about a lot of stupid little things, and I was reflecting on the fact that my husband, who I met when I was thirteen, isn't perfect. Reading your words about how Usagi and Mamoru love each other as people, accepting that they are flawed and weak and selfish but still loving each other reminded me just how much I love him, despite his little flaws and problems. He's sort of like my own Mamoru - sometimes he can be aloof and quiet, but overall I know he'd do anything for me.

Thank you for this. Really and truly. I needed it today more than ever.
