History Fanfic / CelestialWarriorMoon

* AdaptationalBadass: Tuxedo Mask, who has been made into Phantom Mask, a Franchise/{{Batman}}-like figure that wields a sword and gets into the thick of things and manages to ''hold his own''. He's thrown no roses and made no cheesy one-liners here.
** Usagi and the other girls count, too. The nature of their powers makes getting up, close, and personal with their opponents necessary, so the fighting is a lot more intense.

* AuthorAppeal: [=WeirdRaptor=] ''definitely'' likes ''Valkyrie Profile'' and ''creepypasta''.
** You can also tell Jupiter is one of his favorite Senshi.

** Played straight with Sailor V.

* CorpseLand: Niflheim, the land of the undead, naturally.

* {{Creepypasta}}: This is where the author is pulling from for a good chunk of the monsters, which so far have included The Rake, The Pocket (renamed The Face Taker), The Bleeding Tree, The Old Man and the Eyeless Children from ''The Lightless City'', and more.

*** Confirmed.

* TheDragon: Beryl to The Entity. The Shitennou to Beryl.
** CoDragons: The four Shitennou.
** VillainousFriendship: Jadeite and Nephrite.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: This ''is'' a Sailor Moon fanfic, after all.

* EyeScream: What the Eyeless Children tried to do to Tuxedo Mask!
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: '''Good Lord''', the deaths in this fic are sticky and gooey!

** [[spoiler: The Death Busters have also been vaguely alluded to in Chapter 25 by Myddin.]]
* FourIsDeath: The Shitennou. It's in their name, after all.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Usagi is still a Type-A, and Ami and Makoto are still Types-B.
* ImplacableMan: So far, both The Face Taker and Entomon.
* InvisibleParents: Rei's father, but thus far subverted with Ami's mother.
** And now Rei's father, Takashi Hino has started to appear within the story, as an arrogant politician of questionable ethics.

** The girls ALL wear masks in this fic.

* LateForSchool: Guess. Go ahead.
* LetsGetDangerous: Usagi, several times.
* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: Peisinoe's House of Fortune.

* MyGreatestFailure: It's a little early to tell, but it appears that Usagi views [[spoiler:Crane Game Joe's death and Entomon's subsequent escape]] as this.
** Also, [[spoiler:Makoto]] considers the entire ''past year'' to be this. Apparently she fell in with the wrong crowd, started doing drugs, physically assaulted at least one close friend, and [[spoiler: disappointed her senpai, as well as going through four schools in that time frame.]]

** A very satisfying one from [[spoiler:Jadeite]] when [[spoiler:Orion]] nearly shoots and kills him.
* OnceIsNotEnough: No. No, it isn't.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Or in this case, Ordinary ''Junior'' High School Students.
* OriginalCharacter: There are a lot of them, like Zoicite's EliteMook Peisinoe.
* PaperThinDisguise: Averted by the use of full suits of armor and masks.

* StabTheSky: This time with swords!
* StalkerWithoutACrush: What else did you expect when the story features the freaking ''Rake''.
** To explain that, in the early chapters, he enters Naru's house and enacts his usual M.O. by skulking around her neighborhood, lying in wait for the right moment to attack.
* StarterVillain: ''Literature/TheRake''. Chapters 1-5 are basically a little mini-arc within the story where the famed creepypasta monster plays the role of main villain.

* StoryArc: On the first one, The Dark Kingdom Arc.
* StupidSexyFlanders: Haruka. Yes, she's made an EarlyBirdCameo.
* {{Superhero}}: The Celestial Warriors are this.
* TearOffYourFace: What The Face Taker does.
* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow:
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight:

* VillainTeleportation: Present and accounted for.
* {{Wendigo}}: The Rake has been given elements of this. Namely the cannibalism and the "coming back to life by body-jacking its victims" part.
* WhoYouGonnaCall: Celestial Warriors.

The story can also be read [[https://www.wattpad.com/story/118816484-celestial-warrior-moon here]] on Website/{{Wattpad}}.

* DieOrFly: [[spoiler: Does Awakening just in time not to be ripped to shreds by ''WebOriginal/TheRake'' after witnessing it murder at least one person and then beat the crap out of all your friends before mercilessly chasing you down the streets of Tokyo in the dead of night count?]]

* StarterVillain: ''[[Main/{{Creepypasta}} The]] [[WebOriginal/TheRake Rake]]''. Chapters 1-5 are basically a little mini-arc within the story where the famed creepypasta monster plays the role of main villain.

%%* AmazonBrigade: The Celestial Warriors.

** [[spoiler: The Rake can regenerate itself by taking over the corpse of his victims and reshaping them into himself. Meep!]]
** [[spoiler: That's to say nothing of poor Crane Game Joe when the youma sleeping inside him is awakened. The slow, horrible transformation seems to imply that the insect-like monster ''grew'' and ''burst out'' from inside him!]]

%%* CorpseLand: Niflheim, the land of the undead.

* CorpseLand: Niflheim, the land of the undead.

* LadyOfWar: The girls transform into a armor-clad warriors more akin to this.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Memory Rewriting, as it's called here. The Keepers do this whenever someone out of the loop has seen too much.

* MagicalGirl: Yep.
** MagicalGirlWarrior: This subtype, specifically, crossed with LadyOfWar.

* NewTransferStudent: So far, Ami and Makoto.

* ActionGirl: Each of the Warriors. This fic makes Luna into one, too.
** Rusila of The Keepers also counts.
* AdaptationDistillation and [[AdaptationExpansion Expansion]]: It seems to be trying to do both at ''once''.

* AllMythsAreTrue: Yes, and a good number of them are ''hostile''.

* AmazonBrigade: The Celestial Warriors.

* BigBad: So far, Beryl and The Entity.

* DamselInDistress: Naru. Who else?

* ElementalPunch: Sailor Jupiter is dealing out plenty of these.

* ShoutOut: In keeping with the inclusion of modern creepypasta beasts, the author has included one hell of a ShoutOut to [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos The Slender Man Mythos]] with the introduction of an EldritchLocation called ''The Land of Black Leaves'', which is ruled by an entity known as ''The Black King''. A similarly named alternate dimension known as ''The Path of Black Leaves'' first appeared on the slenderblog, [[Blog/WhiteElephants White Elephants]] as Slendy's lair. More on ''The Path of Black Leaves'' [[http://slenderia.blogspot.com/2011/11/path-of-black-leaves.html here]], but this story doesn't portray it quite the same as the original did.
** Slender Man himself is often referred to as The Black King in the slenderblog, [[http://outsidepeeringin.blogspot.com/ Peering In From The Outside]]. He's also been called that on countless proxyblogs (blogs created by his followers), such as [[http://themorninghunter.blogspot.com/ The Morning Hunter]].
** Don't forget Usagi coming across the letter addressed to Linnie from the original [[http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Rake Rake creepypasta]] ''and'' Linnie's reply from [[WebVideo/EverymanHybrid Everyman Hybrid]]. She also stumbles across cases files of Dr. Corenthal, also of ''Everyman Hybrid'' fame.
** Or Luna's encounter with [[Blog/AHintOfSerendipity Zero's]] Bleeding Tree.
** Followed by her encounter with a frelling [[Series/DoctorWho Weeping Angel]].
** Another Luna example: At one point, she uses the alias 'Kagome Takahashi', which is an obvious shout out to [[Manga/InuYasha InuYasha]]. Kagome is the given name of the main heroine and Takahashi is the surname of the series author, Rumiko Takahashi.
** And [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8047108/14/Celestial-Warrior-Moon Chapter 13]] features yet ''another'' Slender Man reference, with The Keepers mentioning an encounter with Reach of ''[[Blog/WhatYouAreInTheDark What You Are In The Dark]]'' and Thage of ''[[http://outsidepeeringin.blogspot.com/ Peering In From Outside]]''.
** In an early chapter, Kuroi, Hanako, Shiroi, and Akai from [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon the live-action series]]'s ''Act Zero'' are police officers maintaining a police barricade. In the live-action series, they were all minor characters that were inexplicably played by the same actors as the Shitennou.
** Chapter 17 has a scene where Myddin smokes some pipe weed. [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Old Tobey]], to be exact. ''Hobbits'' are also name-dropped.
** In Chapter 18, Usagi, while in England waiting for a ball at Buckingham Palace to start, watches TV and flips stations from ''[[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' to ''[[Series/DoctorWho Doctor Who]]'' and finally to ''[[Series/{{Blackadder}} Blackadder]]'' before just giving up due to language barriers.
** In Chapter 21, Ami is seen reading ''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings The Lord of the Rings]]'', which Luna and Kratos comment on being [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory loosely based on the real events]]. Apparently, the Moon Kingdom and [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Camelot]] were involved, somehow, and everyone in the Fellowship perished, excepting only Aragorn and Gandalf.
** In Chapter 23: Blunder and Lightning, [[spoiler:Zoicite unleashes a horde of creatures called Wood Trolls, which are made out of dirt and wood and powered by strange cocoons implanted into them. The description of the trolls and their behavior (trying to drag people underground) is reminiscent of the ''Series/DoctorWho'' audiobook ''Day of the Troll''.]]
** Chapter 25: An Uneasy Quiet, a college student named Jenn Brauer is attacked by a masked man working for [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slenderman]]. He tries to abduct her in much the same fashion as Masky from ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'' and even acts animalistically like your typical slenderproxy.
** Chapter 41: Echoes of the Past, [[spoiler: Setsuna finally makes an appearance, though this time she's less of [[TheStoic the Stoic]], and takes more after [[Series/DoctorWho The Eleventh Doctor.]]]]
* [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]]: [[spoiler: Officially made his first appearance in Chapter 20, in ''Germany'', the place said to be his place of origin, no less.]]

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: The Rake can regenerate itself by taking over the corpse of his victims and reshaping them into himself. Meep!]]

* BloodierAndGorier: The monsters in this fic are very violent and very brutal. Gone are the energy-sucking cute monster girls. In their place are creatures like [[{{Creepypasta}} The Rake]].
** Cranked UpToEleven as of ''Chapters 11 and 12'' with the introduction of The Face Taker. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

** [[spoilerAlso diverging from the norm, Zoicite ''survived'' the events of the doom bus, which was where Jadeite died in the manga and where Zoicite suffers his first true defeat in this fic. However, he was merely badly injured and taken out of commission for a while. Nephrite temporarily takes over his duties while he recovers.]]

* MyGreatestFailure: It's a little early to tell, but it appears that Usagi views [[spoiler: Crane Game Joe's death and Entomon's subsequent escape]] as this.
** Also, [[spoiler: Makoto]] considers the entire ''past year'' to be this. Apparently she fell in with the wrong crowd, started doing drugs, physically assaulted at least one close friend, and [[spoiler: disappointed her senpai, as well as going through four schools in that time frame.]]
* MyGreatestSecondChance: How [[spoiler: Makoto]] views working with the Keepers for the [[MyGreatestFailure above]] reason.

** A very satisfying one from [[spoiler: Jadeite]] when [[spoiler: Orion]] nearly shoots and kills him.

** [[spoiler: ''Chapter 24'' reveals that Mamoru was orphaned at a young age following a car accident. He was adopted by a councilor who was treating him for the amnesia he suffers as the result.]]

* RealWomenNeverWearDresses: Averted. In fact, now they wear armor-plated dresses!

* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Naru.]]

** In Chapter 23: Blunder and Lightning, [[spoiler: Zoicite unleashes a horde of creatures called Wood Trolls, which are made out of dirt and wood and powered by strange coccoons implanted into them. The description of the trolls and their behavior (trying to drag people underground) is reminiscent of the ''Series/DoctorWho'' audiobook ''Day of the Troll''.]]

** [[spoiler Also diverging from the norm, Zoicite ''survived'' the events of the doom bus, which was where Jadeite died in the manga and where Zoicite suffers his first true defeat in this fic. However, he was merely badly injured and taken out of commission for a while. Nephrite temporarily takes over his duties while he recovers.]]

* {{Superhero}}

* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight

** It also looks like the plot of Chapter 4 of the manga/episode 22 of the anime, which involves the Senshi and the villains both attending a masquerade ball to get their hands on a jewel which might be the Silver Crystal ([[spoiler: it's not]]), will be taking place in Buckingham Palace, London, England.
** [[spoiler: Now the story's gearing up to go to Germany...and Cleveland, Ohio.]]

* AdultFear: What else did you expect when the story features the freaking ''Rake''.
** To explain that, in the early chapters, he enters Naru's house and enacts his usual M.O. by skulking around her neighborhood, lying in wait for the right moment to attack.

* RefusalOfTheCall: [[spoiler: ''Both'' Usagi and later Ami, initially.]] It took a little convincing before either would commit to being Warriors.

** [[spoiler: Also diverging from the norm, Zoicite ''survived'' the events of the doom bus, which was where Jadeite died in the manga and where Zoicite suffers his first true defeat in this fic. However, he was merely badly injured and taken out of commission for a while. Nephrite temperarily takes over his duties while he recovers.]]
** [[spoiler: Now Zoicite's back as of Chapter 18.]] It seems like the first three Shitennou are all lobbying to play this role.

* WhoYouGonnaCall

* GenreDeconstruction: The police get involved with the attacks, the monsters leave bodies, there is property damage, and the stress is showing signs of taking its toll on Usagi.
** The author has also made great use of news broadcasts to keep readers updated on [[BrokenMasquerade how much the general public has figured out for itself.]]

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld

** In Chapter 21, Ami is seen reading ''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings The Lord of the Rings]]'', which Luna and Kratos comment on being [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory loosely based on the real events]]. Apparently, the Moon Kingdom and [[KingArthur Camelot]] were involved, somehow, and everyone in the Fellowship perished, excepting only Aragorn and Gandalf.

* AliensAndMonsters: Yeppers.

* RealityEnsues: The police get involved with the attacks, the monsters leave bodies, there is property damage, and the stress is showing signs of taking its toll on Usagi.
** The author has also made great use of news broadcasts to keep readers updated on [[BrokenMasquerade how much the general public has figured out for itself.]]

* AuthorAppeal: WeirdRaptor ''definitely'' likes ''Valkyrie Profile'' and ''creepypasta''.

* {{Doorstopper}}: Over 250,000 words, 28 chapters, with each chapter being about 10,000 words long, and counting!

* DamselInDistress: Naru. Who else?

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8047108/1/Celestial-Warrior-Moon Celestial Warrior Moon]] is a DarkerAndEdgier AlternateUniverse {{Fanfic}} of ''Franchise/SailorMoon''. So needless to say, it is very, ''very'' different from both the manga and anime, approaching the story from a completely different angle. The story includes several [[OriginalCharacter OCs]], though they've been strictly regulated into the supporting cast so as not to take any of the limelight off the main characters. The author has changed how transformations and powers work, and has even gone as far as to introduce the Sailor Senshi/Scouts out of order just to shake things up. The villains and monsters have been made much more menacing and dangerous, leading to much more intense violence during fight scenes.

* OdangoHair: We don't seriously have to tell you, do we?

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The Moon Princess plays the same role as in the original.

** Well, more a case of BiggerBad concerning The Entity, [[spoiler: it also having a BiggerBad above it in Chaos.]]
