Welcome to the third annual Sailor Moon Rare Pair Week! The event will take place from March 24th - March 30th, 2024, but I'm announcing the themes early to give everyone plenty of time to create their fanworks.
What counts as a rare pair for this event, you ask? Any pairing that isn't Usagi/Mamoru (or any of their incarnations), pretty much! (Don’t get too hung up on the word “rare”. Just roll with it, okay?) They usually have their own week, so this event is a chance for fans to show their love for pairings other than the Miracle Romance, canon or not. You can even include poly, platonic, and cross-over ships, if you'd like! Almost anything goes, as long as you follow some simple guidelines.
Fanworks should somehow incorporate the one of the day's themes. (You can pick just one; you don't have to use both.) How you choose the interpret the theme is up to you!
A non-UsaMamo pair must be the MAIN focus of the work (although Usagi/Mamoru can appear as a side pairing or as part of a polycule).
All ratings allowed.
No smut involving underage characters, which I'm defining as under 18 years old. Otherwise, as long as the characters are portrayed as adults in the fanwork, go wild! Just please make sure to properly tag.
Pairings of all sexual/romantic orientations welcome.
Fanfics should be a minimum of 500 words. Poetry may be shorter, though. (If you would prefer to write drabbles instead, you can write five separate 100-word drabbles about the day's themes, but a day's entry should still be at least 500 words long. You have over four months until the week begins and plenty of time afterward if you don't finish in time. That's plenty of time to write 500 words. I don't think that's too much to ask.) If you're writing fanfic, I REALLY would prefer you post your fics on AO3 or Fanfiction.net and provide a link to your story, but if you must post on Tumblr itself, please make use of the "Read More" option.
Fanart should be a completed drawing. (Any fanart portraying nudity or anything of an R/NC-17 nature should be cropped if immediately visible on your Tumblr post and/or posted with the appropriate community label. You can post the full image under a "Read More" or provide a link to the image on another site.)
Graphics, image boards, playlists, cosplay photos, crafts, meta/essays, etc. are also welcome!
Comments, kudos, and reblogs are encouraged, but don't be a jerk! If you're not a fan of a pairing, please just ignore and move on.
On Tumblr, if you tag #smrarepairweek2024, I will reblog your post. I'll tag explict art and fics reblogs as #nsfw, so feel free to block that tag if you'd rather not see those posts.
Please do not post your works anywhere until the day dedicated to your chosen theme. An AO3 collection has now been set up for this year's event. (Adding your work to the collection will not be required.) If you'd like to look back at the last event's works, the 2023 collection can be found here.
And here is the 2022 collection.
Themes
Day 1: Magic/Mundane Day 2: Hugs/Kisses Day 3: Fire/Ice Day 4: Music/Silence Day 5: Birth/Death Day 6: Break-Up/Make-Up Day 7: Free

The parallels my mind is making from Anya to Mamoru. A.k.a Princess Anastasia and Prince Endymion:
Teenage orphans with lack of identity due to memory loss.
Tumblr media
Growing up having dreams every night connected to a life they used to have where they were royalty until their kingdoms fell to war and rebellion:
Music box that triggers their memories:
Tumblr media
Context: I ended up having a lot of songs from the Anastasia musical on my playlist and one of the songs In My Dreams is just feeding my Mamo brainrot because, change a few lines and he could sing this.
[Diaclaimer, I haven't watched the musical but judging from the songs, I'd say it does not end the same way the movie does, so the parallel I'm making is mostly referring to the Don Bluth film with exception of this song from Broadway]
First verse:
'They said I was found
By the side of a road
There were tracks all around
It had recently snowed
In the darkness and cold
The wind in the trees
A girl with no name
And no memories, but these
Rain against a window
Sheets upon a bed
Terrifying nurses
Whispering overhead
“Call the child Anya
Give the child a hat”
I don’t know a thing before that'
Mamoru parallel:
Woke up in a hospital at age 6, doesn't recall his name or parents, nurses trying to figure out what to do with him.
Then this verse:
'You don’t know what it’s like
Not to know who you are
To have lived in the shadows
And travel this far
I’ve seen flashes of fire
Heard the echos of screams
But I still have this faith
In the truth of my dreams
In my dreams
It’s all real
And my heart has so much to reveal
And my dreams
Seem to say
“Don’t be afraid to go on
Don’t give up hope
Come what may”
I know it all will come back
One day'
Mamoru parallel: Do I need to explain? He's definitely had these very words going through his mind for the last 10 years of his life.
And then the parallels between Usa and Mamo and Dimitri and Anya:
Don't get along with their love interest at first:
Tumblr media
They fall in love as they "search for" a missing princess:
Tumblr media
Love interest turns out to be someone they knew from their past:
Tumblr media
They regain their memories, decide to give up royalty in favor of a life with love interest. (Give or take 100 years in Usamamo's case)
Tumblr media
But also Anastasia is just a movie I've loved since I was a kid. And I'm honestly just really intrigued by the story and how a mystery from real life history, has turned into a beloved fictional romance.
The Sailor Moon parallel is just my mental illness 💀

13, 20 and 80
For 80 - are you thinking of participating in Usamamo Week this year? 😘
13. Do you listen to music while you write?  If yes, what have you been listening to recently?
Not usually because I can't focus to save my life, but there is a playlist on Spotify called Music for Writing that I can tolerate pretty well if I need some background noise!
20. Do you prefer writing AUs or canon fics?
AUs all the way. I don't feel like I'm particularly strong with writing canon stories, so I try to stick to AUs.
80. Are you thinking of participating in Usamamo Week this year? 😘
If enough people were interested, I could probably be coerced into writing something small for it!

Yeah, ok, I’m jumping on the Usamamo Week playlist trend. I don’t actually listen to music when I write, but I am absolutely inspired by music for some (but admittedly not all) of my writing. I know the music we associate with certain stories is quite personal, so some of this may resonate a lot, and some of it might not at all. With that caveat, here are the songs that have inspired some of my work. Thanks again to @idesofnovember for hosting this week, and congrats to everyone who participated!
Domino (apparently, in retrospect, this is my Broadway fic haha)
Helpless - Philippa Soo, Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton
All I Ask of You - Emmy Rossum & Patrick Wilson, The Phantom of the Opera
A Million Dreams - Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, & Ziv Zaifmain, The Greatest Showman
The Schuyler Sisters - Leslie Odom Jr., Renée Elise Goldsberry, Philippa Soo, Jasmine Cephas-Jones, Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton
Contrition (I’d say this is my Ingrid Michaelson fic, but basically everything I write is my Ingrid Michaelson fic)
Sort of - Ingrid Michaelson
The Blower’s Daughter - Damien Rice
Dead in the Water - Ellie Goulding
Three Flights Up - Yellowcard
Not Myself - John Mayer 
Old Days - Ingrid Michaelson
Open Hands - Ingrid Michaelson & Trent Dabbs
Over You - Ingrid Michaelson & A Great Big World
Glass - Ingrid Michaelson
Corner of Your Heart - Ingrid Michaelson
5 Years (so far anyway)
Hey Kid - Ingrid Michaelson
End of the World - Ingrid Michaelson
Young and in Love - Ingrid Michaelson
Built it Up - Ingrid Michaelson
Illicit Affairs - Taylor Swift

1, 5, & 8!
From this ask game
1.  What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for?
Sailor Moon! I wrote OC Senshi fic with canon relationships like UsaMamo and MichiHaru in the background. The fics were mostly my attempt to be plotty and occasionally edgy, lol. I think the first ship I tried to actively write for was still UsaMamo.
5.  What is the perfect environment for you to write in?
Someplace with minimal distraction. I used to write a lot on my desktop, but it can be hard since I have a dual monitor setup for work/gaming that tempts me to run multiple programs/distractions at once. In the before-pandemic times, that was mostly me going to cafes with my laptop and writing away from the environment I usually work/play. As the weather gets warming, I’m trying to simulate that same experience by sitting on my balcony (when the sun’s not blinding) with my phone and a Bluetooth keyboard.
8. Do you listen to music while you write? If so, share a song that’s been inspiring you lately.
I totally listen to music while writing! Sometimes I have specific playlists for specific WIPs. If you have Spotify, you can check them out here.
As for a specific song that’s currently inspiring... 
John-Allison Weiss’ I Was an Island: https://open.spotify.com/track/5sPihZcWpkBzPjC6wW77xP?si=THvKYfuqQlaxBxMxpHEVqA

UsaMamo Gift Exchange 2k19 - Enchanted
Happy Merry gift-giving day!!  Here is my gift to you @sardoniyx, a GOT inspired fic just for you!  What do you do when you sign up for a gift exchange and get someone who loves GOT?  Apparently, you write a lot more than asked for.  Sorry, @idesofnovember I did far more than you required.  Part of that is due to the fact that I thought the requirements were 20,000 words, not 2,000.  Oops.  But also, there was no way I was going to write a 2,000-word fantasy story based in Celtic folklore and legend.  It’s possible, I just didn’t want to.  Forgive me!!!!   So this is actually a chapter series and not a one-shot.
Anyway, here it is, I hope you all enjoy.  But you, Sardoniyx, I hope enjoys it the most!  Link for the fic and the playlist below!!

Sunshine; Oh My Love
UsaMamo. Fluff. And he will love her in a tame way, and he will love her wild. 
For @uglygreenjacket in the UsaMamo Valentine’s exchange run by @idesofnovember. I’m so sorry it’s late, I’m terrible, please forgive me. You asked for Mamoru’s POV, and I wrote you some fluff with a bittersweet tinge, because that is what I do. ~1300 words. 
[ AO3 ]
The park is quiet, and bathed in early morning sunlight. The fountain’s chatter is muted, birdsong softened, and Mamoru’s hands are warm on her shoulders. Usagi looks up, catches his blue eyes with hers, and smiles. This is absolutely a perfect start to the day. “Good morning, Mamo-chan,” she says.
Mamoru leans down. “Good morning Usako.” His lips are a barely there press. Usagi rocks back down onto flat feet, and Mamoru lets his hands slide off her shoulders, and down her arms, before taking her hand in his. They walk, slowly, hand-in-hand, towards the outskirts of the park, leaving the solitude for the bustle of the street.
“Where are we going?” Usagi asks, swinging their hands between them.
“It’s a surprise!” Mamoru laughs at Usagi’s put-upon pout, which only lasts a moment before she’s beaming again.
“Oh, Mamo-chan, you know how much I like surprises!”
Mamoru takes a left down the next block, and directs Usagi to his car. He loves this car, and he loves this girl in his car. She’s all legs and long blonde hair, and she always seems perfectly at ease in the passenger seat, watching the city slide by in the sunlight. Mamoru thinks that soon he will have to teach her how to drive it, and then he will be entirely ruined.
He manages to keep his eyes on the road, just barely.
Usagi leans forward to turn up the radio, and claps her hands with glee at the sugary pop that comes bouncing out of the speakers. Mamoru is unfamiliar with the group, but he makes a mental note of the time and the station, so that he can go back and pull up the playlist and learn the name of the song and the group. He lives for the way Usagi’s eyes widen in astounded pleasure when he does things like casually mention a song that he knows she likes.
They arrive at their destination as the last note of the song fades and Mamoru parks smoothly, and kills the engine. Usagi unwinds herself from the seat next to him and slides out to stand next to the car. She shades her eyes with her hand, and then brings the other up to her mouth to contain her squeal of joy.
In front of them, the sea glitters like diamonds. The wind off the sand carries the taste of salt, and Mamoru licks his lips, revelling in the way it covers his tongue. If he kisses her now, she will taste of it too. He reaches into the backseat, pulls out a bag and then closes his door and and walks around the hood of his car to join Usagi.
“You’ll need these,’ he says, and hands her the bag. Usagi does not contain her squeal this time, and reaches in with both hands to pull out the wide-brimmed hat and a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses. She drops the hat on her head, and slides the glasses onto her face before striking her Sailor Moon pose. The breeze flirts with the hem of her sundress, offering Mamoru the dizzying view of both more and less skin. Usagi sticks her tongue out at him as he is pulling his phone out of his pocket.
Mamoru is quick enough with his phone that he gets her laughing as she transitions back from Sailor Moon to Usagi. He’s lucky he thinks, that he gets to have both sides of her.
“Come on,” she says, slipping her flats off her feet so she can walk barefoot into the sand. She reaches back for his hand and Mamoru lets her guide him through the soft dunes at the edge of the parking lot and down onto the beach proper. Usagi drops his hand as they get close to the edge, and races for the surf. Mamoru hangs back, watching her dance forward and back, avoiding the crashing waves but getting her toes wet all the same.
Mamoru slips out of his own shoes and socks, before rolling up the cuffs of his pants. The sand is warm on his bare feet, and he closes his eyes and lifts his face up towards the sun. Over the constant rushing noise of the ocean, he can hear Usagi laughing. When he opens his eyes, she’s heading towards him, and he knows that behind the sunglasses her eyes have taken on a mischievous glint.
He puts up both hands, palms out. “Oh no, don’t you get any ideas!”
Usagi grins, and shrugs. “Ideas? Me?”
She reaches for him when she gets close enough, lifting her hand to the back of his neck, and then smoothing it along his jaw, drawing him down to her level as she does. He leans in, helpless to resist the pull, and finds that she does, indeed, taste of the sea. They stand at the edge of the surf, wrapped up in each other, for a long moment. Mamoru swears he can feel Usagi’s heart beating against his own.
He wonders, briefly, as she moves against him while he kisses her, if in a past-life, he was better able to articulate what she does to him, if he had pretty words to explain the feeling he gets under his ribs when she smiles at him, if he swept her off her feet in the way that she so deserves. He breaks the kiss to look down at her, and Usagi looks up at him, guileless and gorgeous, windswept and wonderful, and he wishes he could make her understand that she is everything, and that he would give up anything - his hands, his voice, his life, his very soul - to make her happy.
Some of what he is feeling must show on his face, and Usagi sighs, then reaches up to muss his hair. “You know I love you right, Mamo-chan?”
“I love you, too,” Mamoru answers, as if by rote, but it’s still as freeing as it was the first time. “So much,” he adds, for good measure, in case she doesn’t already know.
“You’re such a softie,” Usagi teases, but in that fond way that makes him feel like he’d like to be softer, for her. She smiles impishly, and then grabs his hand to pull him further down the beach to where a small market has been set up. Usagi charms every vendor they talk to, and Mamoru wonders when he’ll stop being floored by the way her smile makes even the surliest looking person smile with her.
They idle away the hours of the day, hiding from the sun at its zenith by having lunch at a beachside café and then finding a park on the other side of the road from the beach and dozing under a tree. Usagi sleeps on Mamoru’s chest, while he plays with her hair and thinks some more about how lucky he is.
Usagi wakes up hungry for ice cream, and so they begin the trek back to where he parked his car that morning, stopping for a cold treat, and then walking hand in hand along the edge of the surf. She leans against his shoulder, their fingers laced together, and Mamoru’s pants are wet to the knees, but he couldn’t be happier.
He gets this - the Usagi no one else gets, the one who splashes him when he pokes her in the side because she’s teasing him, the one who smiles up at him like she thinks he hung the stars, the one who sighs his name when they get back to the car and he backs her up against the passenger side door to kiss her with the ocean on her lips, one last time.
He gets this, and he gets the other side of her too - fearless and courageous, willing to lay down her life for her friends, and the world they call home, powerful and bathed in the glory of the moon’s blessing.
He decides, as she kisses him, her mouth hungry on his and her hands sneaking under his shirt to pull him closer to her, as if they are truly two halves becoming one, that he will hold on to this come hell or high water, come villains and foes and heartbreak and betrayal, come joy and laughter, because she is worth it.
