Why this must be read:
If I could I would rec every story by this author. She has an amazing way with words and a perfect grasp of the characters. I thought for long time about which story I would rec. Her amazing modern political AU? Her characterization of the Mamoru/Chibi-Usa/Usagi relationship? Or her Silver Millenium AU with my favorite trope? All her stories are very popular but in the end I decided to choose this story. It's short and not so well-know but I love it.

Tosca shows us a world in which Serenity and Endymion had various lives in which they met and didn't find their happy end. The story shows us moments in times in which we see that love is wonderful but sometimes everything works against it. For this the author chose various periods of time but I must admit my favorite is the Puritan Massachusetts. It simply fits to Usagis/Serenitys character and I wished I could read more about Usagis/Mamorus love during this time.

The looks into the different lives of Endymion and Serenity are short but every new part gives us a different aspect of their love. Solely for this the story deserves all my love and this rec.
