Darien's View
By Jennifer Wand

An ultimate classic by one of the most well-known Sailor Moon fanfic writers out there. Jen Wand has a way with words and feelings, putting the reader directly into the story, making you feel every touch of happiness, angst, and love. There is no wonder that Darien's View has been categorized as the best in-depth retelling of the Doom Tree Series. Not a tale of Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon, nor an explanation of the Prince and Princess, rather this fic portrays a sweet, emotional view into our hero's thoughts as he falls in love with his own, everyday meatball head.
