This is a unique and beautiful piece, focusing on a point of view that would never have entered my mind. I might envy you, but the writing is so lyrical, and so completely your own. I think this might be one of your best short stories yet. The voice of the Ginzuishou is utterly distinctive, as it should be, the voice of an immortal being. It gives the piece an elegiac yet simple tone, which carries us through the events we know so well from such a different perspective. It also gives us some answers to the questions about who was Princess Serenity's father, why Neo-Queen Serenity is so different from Usagi, and what would happen to ChibiUsa and Elios if they married.
I got a little confused at one point - you implied that the soldier who took part at the final battle at the Cauldron was, in fact, Neo-Queen Serenity, and that she was pregnant with ChibiUsa at the time. I thought Sailor Cosmos came from far in the future, thousands of years ahead. Maybe I misunderstood, but it's a bit confusing.
Other than that, this is a lovely and interesting character sketch.
