You know you've been there

azuriteAnyone who was a Sailor Moon + (practically any other fandom) fan has either written, read, or thought about reading or writing this: a sailormoon crossover. They're so popular they have their own subsection on the 'Net, whether your fancy is general, Dragonball-themed, or perhaps Gundam-ized.
Me? I happen to like the shoujo-series gone wild versions, like Ranma becoming a Senshi... or Akane! Been there, done that. It's harder to take series that have NO magic whatsoever and try and make them magical. Think series like Peach Girl or Hana Yori Dango. The drama comes from the "all-natural" scenes-- boy loves girl, girl loves another guy, guy loves another girl... and so on, and so forth.
So how would you take a romantic drama and make it magical? Add a pop star, a time-traveling bishie, and an insane author by the name of Azurite, of course! Not that I'll actually see this through to fruition, but here's my crazy idea, born of listening to Sailormoon music, thinking of random new fic ideas, and reading too much Hana Yori Dango (jdrama + 21 vols. of the manga in the past 4 days = O_O!!!).
Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: Seiya challenges Sailor Pluto to a one-on-one match. The other Outer Senshi find out and ask Pluto why she would agree to something so stupid, but she says that things must happen this way. Uranus and Neptune watch from the sidelines, and are shocked when Pluto is "defeated" and Seiya successfully steals a Time Key-- and goes back in time, to when Usagi and Mamoru broke up in Sailormoon R. If there was ever a time to find out about how true their love is, it's then. Little does Seiya know that Usagi's experiences (in the latter parts of R, then S and SuperS) matured her, and the Usagi he meets isn't quite the one he knows... plus, there's real-live Mamoru to deal with, and a mysterious pink-haired brat...
However, the two eventually get closer, and Seiya pushes Usagi not to depend on Mamoru (and thus, Sailor Moon won't depend on Tuxedo Mask) so much. Despite the warnings of the other Inner senshi and Luna, Usagi hangs out more and more with Seiya... and Sailor Moon meets Sailor Star Fighter. The two work together splendidly, but Makoto and Rei don't trust "her."
Seiya takes Usagi to a karaoke box (PGSM references?) one night and hears her sing-- much to his surprise, she's very good. He pushes her to try out for an audition, where he uses his own musical talents to help Usagi. The two of them get accepted, and suddenly, they're caught in a whirlwind of publicity and stardom!
After many months of hard work on the stage and in the recording room, Usagi's ready to have her first live show-- and life looks good. She thinks she's at last getting over Mamoru, and the battles with the Black Moon have lessened to the point where they're over before she even has to come and "save" anyone. She's sad that the Inners don't seem to need her anymore, but if they can't encourage her dreams the way she did for them, maybe they're better off apart. It's a different Usagi-outlook, but one well-developed and well-reasoned.
However, Usagi shows just how much she misses the girls when she auditions several girls for her dancers-- one of them Tsukushi Makino (there on a dare/a last resort?), who resembles Makoto Kino. Tsukushi passes the audition, and when payday finally comes, she decides that sticking as a dancer on the sly might pay better and help her avoid the drama with the F4... (this coincides with Vol. 19-20, when Tsukushi "breaks up" with Domyoji and then disappears. Instead of going to where her parents are, she stays with Yuuki and discovers a flyer about the auditions... Yuuki encourages her to go, and find a way to channel her spirit and energy.)
No one knows where Tsukushi's gone... that is, until the night of the show. In a futile attempt to cheer Tsukasa up/Tsukasa is forced to go by his sister/mother while entertaining a spoiled rich girl who is several years his junior, he goes to the concert-- and sees Tsukushi onstage, dancing! He tries to approach her after the concert, but security threatens to throw him out. Usagi speaks to Tsukushi, who skims over her "relationship" with Domyoji. Having experienced her fair share of heartbreak, Usagi decides to try and play matchmaker and allow Domyouji to see her.
But of course, fate intervenes when the girl that Domyoji is with is attacked by the Black Moon and turned into a droid. Usagi and Seiya run off to transform, but Tsukushi, still angry with Domyouji and the fact that he was with another girl (who is now pretty busty and angry-looking, in droid-form), pushes him out-- inadvertantly blasting the droid while she's at it. Something Usagi's "accidentally" done has awakened a dormant star seed in Tsukushi, and now she's a senshi!
At last, the Inners and Usagi are reunited (Seiya wonders if he should come clean to the others about being Star Fighter and why he's *really* there... does Usagi even know the whole truth?) when Luna senses the new senshi awakening. They all arrive on the scene to see "Sailor Eitoku" blast the snot out of the droid, Fighter keep her distracted, and Sailor Moon heal the girl, who falls unconscious.
Domyouji, who had his energy sapped, is slapped into wakefulness by Tsukushi "Sailor Eitoku" Makino, but he takes one look at her and immediately passes out again. Everyone retires to the temple/Usagi's new apartment/Seiya's place and discusses the new situation... and that's when Pluto appears.
^_^ Hee, evil, aren't I? Maybe I just want an excuse to have literal outside forces mush all my OTPs (and OT3s!) together!
