''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8886470 Cosmic Warriors]]'' is an ongoing AlternateUniverseFic of ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' created by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2985435 SomeoftheFame]].

''Cosmic Warriors'' follows Usagi Tsukino whose life changes after rushing to the aid of her friend and being given a [[TransformationTrinket golden bracelet]] that allows her to [[PowerMakeover become]] Cosmic Warrior Moon.

Keeping in line with the author's desire to create a more adult series several changes have been made to the story. These include {{Darker and Edgier}} themes such as rape, abduction, suicide, and [[CruelandUnusualDeath hardcore violence]]. In addition to dipping Sailor Moon's body of work into a bucket of human remains the author has made other changes that include the introduction of characters, transformations, weapons, and flow of the plot.

A dozen or so new [[OriginalCharacter characters]] are introduced throughout the story and canon characters are [[AdaptationPersonalityChange expanded on]] and given opportunities to grow. Characters and themes from the anime, manga, and even the live-action series ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'' are melted together and added into the story. The story includes a new breed of villains named Experiments that are introduced through the [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Dark Kingdom]]. Instead of the canon's [[SailorFuku uniform]] the Cosmic Warriors transform into [[ActionGirl action girls]]/[[LadyOfWar girls of war]], wearing [[LatexSpaceSuit streamline suits]] with masks. The advisors to the Warriors, [[NonHumanSidekick Luna and Artemis]] are also expanded on in the fiction and given more important roles as members of a secret organization known as [[HeroesRUs The Silver Guard]].

The fiction can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8886470/1/Cosmic-Warriors here]].
----
!!''Cosmic Warriors'' has examples of the following tropes:
* AFatherToHisMen: Mani’s true nature, but conflicts with {{We Have Reserves}} as he is torn between his true feelings and living up to his father’s expectation as a leader.
* AbusiveParents: [[EducationMama Saeko Mizuno]] [[BerserkButton berated]] her daughter, Ami, for getting a C in school and shattered a cup of tea on the kitchen table, splashing Ami with the hot liquid. Gurio’s father also seems bent on beating his son into submission.
%%* ActionGirl: The Warriors, Ilargi, Nikkal, Losna, and Luna.
* AdaptationInspiration: The first attack of the story happens to Naru in OSA-P, but the author changes the encounter up, flips it around, and makes it original.
* AdaptationalBadass: Tuxedo Mask has shaped up to be a far cry from his anime self. His entrances are realistic and his speeches short and far from cheesy. On top of that, his cane seems capable of more tricks, like shooting five rechargeable red thorn darts from the base.
* AllMythsAreTrue: As mentioned in the intro heroes/villains of mythology are reincarnated to fight for the Dark Kingdom.
* AloofAlly:
** Tuxedo Mask.
** The Silver Guard and Protectors play this part as well before their official introduction in "Silver Guard" before receiving an official introduction to the former, the Guard is only mentioned and seen as a fleet of black cars that come to clean up Warrior Moon's messes.
* AmusementParkofDoom: The mascot of Dreamland drains humans of their energy and/or kills them and stores their bodies in a haunted house.
* AnimateDead: The second kind of enemy in the story are enemies revived from the dead, see in intro and All Myths Are True. Exta also can do this, see Necromancer.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Experiment-D-U-D's red lance, Gae Dearg, can pierce or fly through any defence according to legend.
* AuthorAppeal: The author seems to enjoy showcasing the male physique and putting male characters in compromising situations. They tend to be naked in scenes or having their bodies or sexual nature accented. Aside from describing their bodies words like bare, nude, or in the buff are used to drive the scene home.
** Blaize’s attack in chapter 13 covers his body with fire and burns away his clothes. After Jadeite snaps his neck the flames disappear and Blaize hangs, lifeless, in the arms of Jadeite’s suit of armor. He is then revived and presumably fights naked.
** Mamoru has many moments where he wakes up from a nightmare shirtless, chest heaving, and sweaty.
*** In one chapter after waking up Mamoru stands in his window with his shirt open, letting the cold wind dry him, before he strips and walks to the shower.
*** In another chapter after waking up he is attacked by Kunzite and bound by chains before he is kidnapped. He is later presented to Beryl in just his sweatpants, still bound by chains, and the woman takes her chance to observe every muscle of his body
** Motoki is drugged and taken into the woods by a mysterious woman where he is stripped and nearly sacrificed.
** After a shower Artemis goes to check on the girls wearing just a pair of sweatpants, still wet from his shower.
* BadassInANiceSuit: The Protectors (even though Artemis and Luna haven't been seen in their uniforms).
* BalloonBelly: Several customers in Stack Attack have this.
* BearerOfBadNews: Saeko Mizuno when she reveals [[spoiler: Naru's rape.]] Luna occasionally.
* BeautyIsBad: Experiment-D-U-D is seen wearing a one-piece bodysuit that as the author puts it "fit him well, exposing each of his muscles and curves of his body." Usagi also fawns over him later to Detective Kalla, but in the end his attack on Naru makes him unforgivable.
* BloodBath: Well... Megumi DID have a bathtub filled with blood, above which dangled the [[spoiler: bodies of dead children.]]
* BloodFromTheMouth: Experiment-D-U-D after being double-teamed by Mask and Moon. Jadeite, see IncurableCoughOfDeath below.
* BreatherEpisode: A few chapters, 4, 6, 9, and 14 so far, they're far from boring though.
* CallingYourAttacks: The Warrior's call out the names of their stronger attacks, but seem to be able to attack with less powerful attacks or versions without calling out the names.
* TheCavalryArrivesLate: In chapter two, although Naru calls the police before calling Usagi they don't arrive until after the fight is over.
* TheChainOfHarm: Inverted during Jadeite and Tuxedo Mask's encounter on the roof in "Rabbit Over The Moon" Jadeite chides Mask for interfering with the hunt for the [[spoiler: Silver Crystal]] he then makes a nearby helicopter to explode.
* ChekhovsGun: Usagi and Naru find a gem on the ground that Naru keeps. That gem later releases a servant of the Dark Kingdom into Naru's home. [[spoiler: After an unseen altercation he then proceeds to rape Naru.]]
%%* ChildEater: Megumi.
* CoolMask: Tuxedo Mask of course! However, Warrior Moon and the rest of the Warriors also get masks that covers their entire face, reminiscent of a Vizard mask.
%%* DamselInDistress: Naru, Usagi occasionally.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Youma attacking, eating, and draining people and children of their blood. An Experiment pops up in a public school after raping one of its students.
* {{Doorstopper}}: As of July 9, 2015 the fic has 62 chapters and 524,555 words and is still being published weekly. The author has said the story is part one of what will become a five part series, likely lining up with the five seasons/arc of the Sailor Moon anime/manga.
* DramaticWind: Played almost a little too straight in "Crossing The Rubicon". After Usagi has made it clear to Luna she refuses to become a Warrior Luna explains how the Dark Kingdom will ruin her life before killing her.. Just before Luna finishes a gust of wind picks up.
* DualWielding: Experiment-D-U-D possesses two lances and two swords, both sets get used. Warrior Venus occasionally.
* DuelToTheDeath: Experiment-D-U-D and his clones are dropped in a colosseum where they battle until the rebel is killed.
* EarlyBirdCameo: A majority of the main cast has already been introduced within the first 20 chapters. All of the Warrior civilian identities (excluding Hotaru) have been introduced.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Luna tells Usagi this in pretty much verbatim.
* ExpendableClone:
** In the beginning Jadeite has 60 copies of Experiment-D-U-D, and by the third chapter has killed off 17.
** By chapter 10 all of the original twenty Jadeite summoned have been killed.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Experiments seem to die by pieces of their body falling off. Beryl slices up Experiment-D-U-D inside a coffin (ripping flesh by bone). Megumi rips apart her victims, draining their blood and eating their flesh.
* FantasticRacism: Nikkal tells Jarilo she would preferred to let humans die than come and help them.
-->'''Nikkal''': The only humans I like are the ones laying dead on my operating table.
* FetalPositionRebirth: In "The Warrior of Love", Jadeite comes across Experiment D-U-D like this in a tank. Could also be NakedOnRevival.
* FlashForward: Before Usagi transforms for the first time she sees flashes of images in her mind. Judging by the descriptions it's pretty easy to tell she's seeing future villains. Perhaps this is a clue that this fic will cover more than just the Dark Kingdom arc?
* FourIsDeath: This is Sailor Moon, the Shitennou of course.
* FullFrontalAssault: Luna in Skeleton Bells 1, after transforming from her feline form Luna is left to battle Zoisite in the buff. He gives her his jacket, but she proceeds to take on him and Nephrite wearing only that.
* GodivaHair: Megumi in "Years of Conspiracy".
* GraveRobbing: The Dark Kingdom needs DNA to create Experiments, it's implied this is gathered from their resting places.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Warrior Moon bifurcates Eros.
* HeartDrive:
** After battling Warrior Moon and Tuxedo Mask (and sustaining extensive wounds) Experiment-D-U-D appears soon after completely healed. However, when his life gem is crushed, he crumbles away into black dust.
** This could have been a different clone of his that appeared healed, it was never mentioned
* HenshinHero: Although she seems to be able to recall some events from her past, Usagi's powers don't kick in until she's suited up.
* HeroSecretService: The Silver Guard and the Protectors.
* InfoDump: "Evil Sleeps When It's Dead" gave us part of the history of the Moon Kingdom we were expecting, the rest, along with an explanation of Usagi's transformations and attacks, came a few chapters later in "Blonde Ambition 1". The Silver Guard were given a full introduction and explanation in the aptly titled chapters "Silver Guard 1" and "Silver Guard 2".
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Jadeite shows signs of some kind of sickness often, usually after exerting energy. [[spoiler: It was revealed in chapter 10 he was poisoned during the attack on the Moon Kingdom.]] Although he should be dead, he was able to survive, but its affected him ever since.
* KidnappedScientist:
** More like scientists. The Dark Kingdom kidnapped a number of the scientists in the years before the story began, they're to blame for Experiments.
** Surprisingly enough Souichi Tomoe was one of them.
%%* LateForSchool: Usagi.
* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: Stack Attack was described as being a new building. The House of Fortune as well. Pet Shop Perfume wasn't mentioned as being new, but it could be assumed it wasn't there before the Dark Kingdom's plan for it began.
%%* MasterOfIllusion: Zoisite, as seen in Skeleton Bells 1.
* MeaningfulName:
** The Protectors were guardians during the time of the Silver Millennium who all lived on the Moon. It makes sense then that the author named each of the Protectors, excluding the twins and Kalla, directly after a Lunar deity.
** Although Kalla doesn't seem to be named directly after a Lunar deity his name is similar to Kalfu, a Lunar deity of Vodun mythology.
** Dewi's name comes from Dewi Shri and it could be assumed the author swapped the W for an S for Desi, and giving her twin a similar name by swapping the D for a G.
** As with Artemis (a female deity), gender doesn't seem to matter as Dewi Shri is a female, but Cosmic Warrior's Dewi is 100% male.
* MysteriousNote: Minako got one in her locker from Eros.
* MysteriousProtector: Tuxedo Mask, of course.
* {{Necromancer}}:
-->'''Jadeite''': They had done their part. My Queen with that team, the Sound Siblings, five of them were more useful dead to me than they were alive... With Exta being able to reanimate their corpses and any form of nature nearby, it was the perfect plan.
* NewTransferStudent: Ami and Makoto so far, Diarmuid also makes a cameo in Usagi's school, although not claiming to be a student.
* NothingCanStopUsNow: Zoisite after having the Silver Guard follow him into a cavern where six of the Great Demons, Kunzite, Danburite, and a brain washed Ami, were all waiting. He was right until [[spoiler:Princess Selene sealed away the Demons and cut Zoisite in half.]]
* NothingIsScarier: When Usagi finds Experiment-D-U-D, that whole mysterious-man-with-a-strange-presence-choking-your-friend-in-the-hall-illuminated-by-blocks-of-moonlight scene accomplishes this.
* PaperThinDisguise: Inverted with a full body suit and mask that leaves only lines for the Warriors to see and breathe through. Usagi's signature buns even disappear as a Warrior.
* PickyPeopleEater: Loki only ate the heart of the man he captured in "Eat, Die, Love".
* PowerGlows: Warrior Moon's lance glows white before she uses Moon Blade Slash.
** Warrior Venus follows this for her Shot of Love attacks.
* [[spoiler:RapeAsDrama]]: See below
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler:After the attack on Naru in "Goodbye, Halcyon", Usagi is left in the dark about what really happens until chapter four when her rape is revealed.]]
* TheReveal: The revelation of [[spoiler: Naru's rape]] in "Crossing The Rubicon".
** Usagi revealing herself as Warrior Moon to Naru in The Warrior of Storms. We also finally get Experiment-D-U-D's reason behind attacking Naru.
* RooftopConfrontation: Jadeite and Tuxedo Mask in the first chapter.
** Again in "Savage Love, Dearest Storm" with a full cast including: Warriors Venus and Jupiter, Artemis, Tuxedo Mask, Jadeite, and Bikuta.
* ShoutOut: There are several nods to other series that the author appears to favor.
** Experiment-D-U-D, Diarmuid, pursued Naru because he thought she was a woman he once loved. This was a reference to The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Grainne in the Fenian Cycle of Myth/CelticMythology.
** In Chapter 32 Inspector Megure Juzo, Dectective Kogoro Mouri, and Ran, are all at the scene of a crime along with a child who is desperate to get a look at the scene. These characters and the unnamed boy (Conan Edogawa presumably) are all from ''Manga/CaseClosed''.
** Beryl mentions having the Prelati kill Nephrite if he doesn’t tell her about the Cosmic Warriors. A reference to the tentacle monsters from ''Literature/FateZero'', summoned from Prelati’s Spellbook.
** The Protectors’ weapons bare a resemblance to The Schiff's of ''Anime/BloodPlus''.
** The Warriors wear masks like Lisa Yadomaru of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''.
* SuperStrength: Tuxedo Mask seems to have this, he was able to snap Baphomet's neck with just a kick.
* TortureCellar: Megumi has one, equipped with a vest capable of ripping someone's chest open, numerous hooks, chains, and a Judas cradle. Not quite a cellar, but torture definitely happens there.
* TransformationTrinket: Usagi's moon charm bracelet, Minako's earrings, and Makoto's bracelets.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Artemis and Luna.
* WhamEpisode: Chapter four, [[spoiler:the revelation of Naru's rape]], gives Usagi not only the need to become a Warrior and the drive to fight, but takes the story ''down'' to new darker territory.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: Experiment-D-U-D's golden spear inflicts wounds that won't heal naturally.
* WreathedInFlames: Blaise gained this effect after Artemis tried to burn him, it was never specified if this was an ability he already had or not.
