Description A segment illustration from this: [link]

Here is the segment, if you haven't read it (tho you totally should...i can't stop )
He straightened and tugged the hem of his suit into place with a snap, preparing himself. And then, like a too-large icicle dangling from a ridge, Mercury’s patience fell and shattered. She rose quietly from her chair, gathering her drape about her shoulders. His amusement heightened as her eyes quickly surveyed the ballroom – no doubt looking for him – and skipped over his hiding place. Then, careful not to draw attention to herself, she skirted the dance floor and walked swiftly toward the exit, passing his spot in a whirl of glittering midnight blue.
He stepped out behind her silent as a ghost, and like a serpent reached out and caught her drape in his fingers, trapping her gloved right hand in his left. The fabric tightened instantly, bringing the fleeing girl to a halt just ten meters from the door. He almost heard her stifled cry, though the sudden rigidity of her frame was not lost on him. Her surprise quickly flared into anger; he knew she felt that it was him at her shoulder. Who else would dare such a thing? He chuckled, his eyes moving lazily over to the center of the room, the crowd beginning to thin as the hour grew late.
“You didn’t think I would allow the jewel of the ball to escape without a single tour of the dance floor? Come, little Senshi, grant me one dance.”

There will be a few more pictures from this story. This is mostly giftage for who also writes fanfics of sailor moon characters.

In case anyone is confused, Dark Mercury is in her princess dress, which has also changed. Kunzite is in some sort of prince/ball suit....i didn't want to put him in his usual attire since merc isn't in hers, though many of the concepts of his costume design are the same. Gotta love epaulettes.

At some point I will color her gown, but for now they both get to be white and black.....*sigh*
I will also apologize for any wierdnesses in this pic....I ended up drawing it fairly small so there are some mistakes

I've loved every piece that you've done in this series with Dark Mercury! your style is unique and wonderful, and I actually like this one in black and white! It has a great edge in their expressions!

silver-eyes-blue In reply to BethanyRoot [2009-01-24 18:59:25 +0000 UTC]

I haven't really been a fan of either so far, but I guess I am leaning more towards Kumzite/Mercury, being more of a Kunzite fan as is. ^^

*nods* Me too. Though Nephlite was kinda cute in PGSM, too, he made me laugh. I am not as much of a fan of Jadeite and Zoisite, though.

How did you feel about Princess Sailor Moon? I thought she was a bit too much, too atypical for Usagi. I understand all the emotional pain can change a person, but I don't think manga or anime Usagi would ever really become like that. It was not like Dark Mercury, where it was dark forces that changed Ami's personality.

i haven't gotten that far yet.......lolol

jadeite's only redeeming factor are his eyes....they are lovely. Zoisite's costume is skgfskdjfskjghskjgb AMAZING although i would like him a lot better if he would not play the SAME song EVERY time (mozart's fantasie...?) and if mamoru would give him a hug.....

Ahahaha. I'm sure you'll enjoy all of PGSM. <3

Mind you, my fics are not perfect representations because a lot has changed - most notably, Mercury knows a lot more about what happened in the past life, and about the princess, etc. This has changed a lot of her attitudes. Also, since she's been around IN rp a long time, she's developed more/worse/better relationships with various people, blah blah. But they're definitely pretty accurate - I like to think XD
