One of the most original stories I've read in BSSM fanfiction, "Full Circle" addresses the powers of Venus, which are less tangible than those of the other senshi. It takes Venus's habit of keeping her weakness a secret from the other senshi, which was established during the Dream arc of the manga, and places it right in the future. Venus's doubt, jealousy and pain are well evoked, as is the concern of Mars. The encounter between them is extremely sensuous, which is logical given Venus's powers, but it doesn't become sensual. It was nice to give Artemis a mention right at the end of the story, his presence was rather lacking before that and I think he would still be an important part of Venus's life, despite the changes.
An interesting and thought-provoking meditation on power, personality and friendship.
