I'll be up late tonight.
This fanfic is turning out pro-Sailor Venus like whoa. Of course, LOVE is what I'm pushing, so that might not be such a bad thing. Minako is supposed to be the personification of love, second only to Usagi herself. I'm really playing up the Selene/Ishtar aspects of them both. (Everyone needs to read Warriors of Legend-- if you aren't smitten with Mina-P by the end of that, there is seriously something wrong with you and you need to go see a doctor about it.)
The warrior of love had certainly lived up to her namesake's standard, and more telling still, Artemis's early and far-flung proclaimations of her beauty. A poet had once said of her that she was as the brief blushing haze before dawn, as the North Star, shedding light as the noonday sun, a deluge of clarity and heat to the darkest depths to any heart; Beauty inherent, magnified over sevenfold by her implications. It was rumored that youma had been slayed merely by gazing upon her. If Neo-Queen Serenity was the goddess, she was the idol of Crystal Tokyo and its champion, active where the queen was passive, visible where the queen was concealed. And, oh, but was she visible.
Needs re-working, obviously, but in the context of the fic, I think I mean every word.
EDIT: Oh, and, BEOOOWM! Unearthly Beauty much?
