Comartemis}}: Wow. This is probably one of the best examples of Growing the Beard I've ever seen in a fanfic before. The first few chapters are really rough, characterization is spotty at best, several characters are Flanderized to hell and back, Dumbledore, Ron, Ginny, and Molly all get their usual Ron the Death Eater treatment, and while mpreg really doesn't ever show up outside of conversation, the way the subject becomes plot-relevant is absolutely absurd on the face of it. At some point, however — I think it's right around the same point where the fic turns mildly serious and stops being a Crack Fic — everything shifts in a generally positive direction. Mamoru is still a complete manwhore, sure, but he doesn't show up more than once or twice before he falls down a plot hole and isn't heard from again. Ginny never really gets better and Molly's attitudes are only weakly justified, but Hermione recovers from her Flanderization, Ron seems to get over his exaggerated jealousy of Harry, and the much-hated Manipulative!Dumbledore actually gets deconstructed later in TGWL. And while Chibi-Usa has never really irritated me like she has other people, I have to agree with Chuckg that she's very well-used here, possibly because her interactions with Harry are infinitelymore adorable than her canon relationship with Usagi. It may not hold a candle to some of the other examples on this page but this is definitely one of the best HP/SM crossovers I've ever read.
