Misconception, by Dejana Talis (PG)
Fandom: Sailor Moon
Pairing: Gen with background Mamoru Chiba/Usagi Tsukino
Length: ~ 15.200 words

Why this must be read:
Chibiusa was another character which got many hateful comments in the 90s. Maybe the dub made her into a horrible brat or maybe young teens simply don't want to like a child who disturbs romantic moments between their OTP. I don't know but personally I love her. In the manga she is a child who lives through horrible things and in the end she becomes stronger and fiercer and simply badass. So I openly admit that I can't imagine a Sailor Moon world without Chibiusa. Nobody else could be Mamorus and Serenitys child. Who else could fit into her footsteps?
This question finds an answer in this story. Instead to give birth to Chibiusa Serenity gives birth to another child. A sweet little girl that soon learns that she isn't enough. That she always will live in the shadows of a girl/woman who was never born. How can you live such a life?
So, yes, I will rec a Sailor Moon fic with heartbreak, depression and the hurtful realization that Serenity and co. aren't perfect. We see everything through the eyes of the unwanted child. We see how she wants to love her parents and the other Senshis but we also see how 'her family' destroy this love because they can't forget one of so many possible futures that they saw during their time as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask.
The end seems to give the OC a happy end but personally it left me with a bittersweet feeling and the question if the OC could really love her family again after such a childhood. For this the story definitely deserves to be recced!

--> Born of a queen and king who loved their daughter long before she was concieved, I live my life in the shadow of a child who never existed, who was destroyed by my creation. Will they ever love me as they loved Small Lady?
