1	''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/5574534 But You Won't Have To Do It Alone]]'' is a ''Anime/SailorMoon'' oneshot by [=BeNiceToNerds=].
2
3	The plot is simple on the surface: it turns out literally none of the inner Senshi are straight, though some have more trouble accepting this than others. It's a ComingOutStory featuring all of the main girls.

5	The story is done in a series of out-of-order scenes cultivating in the ending.

7	!!This fanfic provides examples of:
8
9
10	* ComingOutStory: All of the girls realize their sexualities, come to terms with it, and come out.
11	* DeliberateValuesDissonance: The fic pokes fun at Usagi's casual 1990s homophobia and plays it for drama. Usagi isn't trying to be mean, but her little comments about female relationships hit a nerve for several of her friends and make them uncomfortable discussing their sexuality with her.
12	* {{Gayngst}}:
13	** Makoto's TomboyAngst combines with InternalizedCategorism, leading to shame over her attraction towards girls.
14	** Rei is terrified of being a lesbian and overcompensates in trying to seem straight.
15	* TheGhost: The outer Senshi (more specifically, Haruka and Michiru) are mentioned, but they don't appear. Also, Mamoru is still in America.
16	* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: PlayedForDrama with Rei. She's deeply insecure in her sexuality and so she overcompensates by acting boy-crazy.
17	* LGBTAwakening:
18	** Rei has a lot of signs, and even had a crush on Ami without realizing it, but her awakening began when she began really getting into a manga with a lesbian sub-plot.
19	** Ami doesn't know when she began realizing her bisexuality. It could have started when she met Haruka and Michiru, or even prior to that due to memories of her and Mako in a different timeline.
20	* MentorInQueerness: Minako is out and has never had issues with her sexuality, so she acts as support to her more confused and nervous friends.
21	* ReallySeventeenYearsOld: Minako produces a bunch of fake [=IDs=] so she and her friends can sneak into gay clubs.
22	* SecretRelationship: Ami and Minako were one for a few weeks. Eventually, Minako, then Rei, and finally Usagi all know about it.
23	* SingleTargetSexuality: Ami has only been attracted to two people (or so she'll let herself admit): Ryo Urawa and Makoto. This is enough evidence for her to identify herself as bisexual.
24	* SpitTake: Rei accidentally spits out her tea when Ami lets it slip that she's dating someone.
25	* TransparentCloset:
26	** Minako ''thought'' she was in one of these, but it turned out to not be so transparent.
27	** Naru and Umino outright tell Usagi one day that they "really don't mind if [she's] gay", causing her to splutter and deny it. Usagi doesn't even realize her attraction to girls.
28	** Subverted with Ami. Upon coming out, Minako thinks it makes sense that she's lesbian, except that Ami tells her she's attracted to boys too. Ami just isn't the type to fall in love, or flaunt it, much.
