I've used the original (Japanese) names here in my letter, but I wouldn't mind receiving a work with the localised names from the 90's dub either. Feel free to include background ships and any character(s) from the full cast. I'd also prefer that the Shitennou keep their original names instead of having them replaced by civilian names, in the event of them taking up civilian identities. Of course, go ahead and gloss over outsiders' terms of address towards them if that's easiest.

Note: I'm familiar with the manga and original 90s anime. I have yet to catch up on the entirety of Crystal, nor have I consumed all of the musicals, but feel free to reference events therein.

On my latest rewatch, I realised just how badly Mamoru must be pining for his former retainers. What must it be like for him to see the Senshi constantly rallying around Usagi... does it remind him of his own loss? Is he constantly yearning for the days when his men carefully and lovingly served their precious Crown Prince? It would be great to see the Shitennou as a group serve and collectively take care of their precious King.

On the other hand, I'm desperate for more dark!Shitennou/Mamoru (possibly during the time he too was brainwashed!?) content! Give me all the menacing! All of the magical restraints and the whump! Make them go so hard, they can't bear the horror once they return to themselves!

Endymion | Mamoru

Mamoru, that poor guy, always gets brainwashed! I have no preferences for how he is portrayed, and which position he winds up in. I'm always curious to see how the part of him that remembers and resists dark influences wars with his brainwashed side and fights to take back control.

When it comes to Usagi | Serenity, I'm alright with having Mamoru in love with her/in a relationship with her if you'd like. If you choose to go the cheating route, that's also fine with me! My one caveat is that I'd like to avoid any confrontations between the two of them on the topic, on or off-screen. Feel free to go the open relationship route as well.

Shitennou

I'm especially interested in how age and hierarchy play a role in their interactions. The Materials Collection describes the four thusly:

Kunzite (25-26)
Nephrite (19)
Jadeite (18)
Zoisite (16-17)

No need to set these ages in stone! But I imagine that Kunzite and Zoisite give off the feeling of being much older/younger when compared to Mamoru, next to Nephrite and Jadeite, who "feel" closer in age (and possibly maturity as well).

** I've noticed that some translations mistakenly claim that the Materials Collection states that Kunzite/Zoisite are in a relationship. I've checked the Japanese version, which states that ' Kunzite dotes on Zoisite '. ** I'd be happy to see them as treating each other special and having Zoisite be the spoiled younger sibling type, however, I'd prefer that the relationships between them and their prince take priority (as opposed to the Shitennou pairing off at all times)
I don't mean to be overly pedantic, but the original Japanese also states that the height difference goes Kunzite > Nephrite > Zoisite = Jadeite (roughly the same), while fan translations purport that Zoisite is 'taller' and Jadeite is the shortest. It won't ruin the work for me by any means if you choose not to follow this description! On the other hand, I'd be thrilled to receive something following the aforementioned details.

Notes on Smut likes
Depending on how you choose to write them, I'm fine with any of the men topping/bottoming/switching. If they do mix things up, I'd be happy to see the younger two (Zoisite and Jadeite) remain on the bottom at times for Endymion | Mamoru or for the elder Shitennou. I'm particularly curious about how the group hierarchy meshes with their sex lives!

Kunzite

If you'd like to focus on Mamoru / Kunzite, I would love that too! Is it something set during the time when Kunzite was the last dark!Shitennou left, and Mamoru (Endymion) was being brainwashed by Beryl? What if, in a canon divergence, Kunzite saved Tuxedo Mask from Beryl after he sustained his grievous injuries (did he shake off the brainwashing, remember his prince or was it something else)? I'm interested in seeing them rebuild the trust between them — or, on the other hand, the terrible depth of Kunzite's guilt.

Helios

As a priest, I wonder how his tendencies for subservience and devotion manifest themselves during intimate moments. How does his bond to Endymion | Mamoru affect the two of them? Do the Shitennou treat him as another little brother, or something more? (He is supposedly around '13' to Zoicite's '16-17', if that helps. Of course, in the present time those ages are meaningless given all the reincarnations, time shenanigans and crystal powers of longevity. But, I imagine the younger/older dynamics still remain.)

According to the artbook, his appearance is meant to reflect Endymion's slightly. How does he rank in comparison to the Shitennou? I'd love to know what he thought about resurrecting/purifying them, and how he welcomed them back post betrayal. Was he eager to submit to them as before, or does he require renewed proof of their fealty to Endymion beforehand?

* Optional Prompts

It takes time for Mamoru to recover his memories of the Silver Millennium — maybe Helios helps him along; but when he does, he's assaulted with confusing images of men he thought to be their enemies. Why does he long for them so? What did they mean to him, and how can he get them back? And when he does get them back...
Under Beryl's command, the Shitennou kidnap Mamoru and attempt to brainwash him with Chaos - possibly by using physical means. If you'd like to go in-depth on the aftermath (especially once they have been healed), I'm very interested in Mamoru's feelings on the matter.
Mamoru as Tuxedo Mask, and his Shitennou as Beryl's lackeys. Are there any special interactions between them before they become aware of his civilian identity? If Mamoru remembers who they are to him as they're being picked off one-by-one, how does he react? I'd love to see a twist where he remembers earlier on and recklessly plunges into the Negaverse to save them.
Mamoru possesses "The Healing Cock", and (possibly with Helios' guidance) makes his way through his former men one-by-one to bring them back to the light.
An injured Kunzite — with the others in tow? Or have they died and gone to their stones already? — flees from Beryl, and there's only one place he can go... his former prince's doorstep. Mamoru must nurse him back to health.

Alternatively, with a twist: Mamoru, who has no memories of his Shitennou, winds up caring for an injured Kunzite. Maybe Kunzite is a complete stranger to him, or maybe Mamoru knows him as the 'enemy' and yet takes him in nonetheless. Is there unbearable sexual tension from their past life going on? Or does Kunzite attempt to repay him with sexual favours? Are the other Shitennou around in their stones, observing this all go down?? Can they join in the fun??
Or, the reverse: Kunzite (who has been freed from Beryl's influence) taking care of injured Mamoru. How can he get his leige to remember him, his men, and the bond they all once shared?

The purified Shitennou beg Mamoru for forgiveness and attempt to make amends. Subservience (gone sexual?), self-flagellation, the works.
A lonely Mamoru insists upon resurrecting his Shitennou. The Senshi have mixed reactions. Helios could even be required to complete the endeavour, given his connection to both Elysion and the crystal. How do things turn out?
The Shitennou (& Helios?) spoil their crown prince (and lover) on a memorable occasion during the Silver Millennium.
The Shitennou (& Helios?) take care of Mamoru after he wields the Golden Crystal. Like the Senshi & Usagi, but reversed! Do his powers go haywire after overuse? Bonus: Accidentally bringing about arousal while healing, or coming out uncontrollably - even during intimacy?
Getting to know each other anew. What better than a full-fledged gangbang, with Mamoru as the star?
I just REALLY want to see someone from the extended cast walking in on them. Whether it be the other Senshi — inner or outer — or even Artemis and Luna... you pick! Bonus points if they take it completely the wrong way and a huge misunderstanding is caused.
Ghost guardians attempting to protect Mamoru from afar, but alas 😭 A Shitennou POV of all canon's Mamoru whump could be fun!
In the end days of the Silver Millennium, Mamoru is losing his mind over the political manoeuvering going on. Of course he'd turn to his dearest Shitennou for comfort — unaware of the betrayal soon to follow.
Mamoru, Helios and the Dream Arc: I love the fact that Mamoru suffers with the Earth, and I bet Elysion's damage causes strain on him too. Does Helios visit his dreams too, during that time? I'm eager to see more interactions between them around that timeframe, with a side of Helios's suffering at the hands of Nehelenia. Maybe at some point, Helios takes Mamoru to Elysion in order to rest and heal? Are the Shitennou physically present throughout this arc, or are they restrained to their stones, advising (and consoling) Mamoru as spirits?
I'm interested in finding out just exactly how Mamoru and Helios are tied together. Can these two lonely souls develop a family-esque relationship? How does Mamoru feel about Helios as his potential son-in-law and successor? How do the Shitennou feel about the entire thing? Are they big brothers or uncles to Helios (and Chibiusa) too??
(Mamoru / Kunzite focus) What if, in a canon divergence scenario, Kunzite saved Tuxedo Mask from Beryl after he sustained his grievous injuries (did he shake off the brainwashing, remember his prince or was it something else)? I'm interested in seeing them rebuild the trust between them — or, on the other hand, the terrible depth of Kunzite's guilt. Do they have desperate reunion sex, or is Mamoru terrified out of his mind and Kunzite has to get him to slowly warm up? Is there any healing injuries through intimate contact going on?
I'd also be interested in seeing either Mamoru or Kunzite sub for one another (with or without the rest of the Shitennou around) as stress relief!
Either Mamoru or Kunzite stop Beryl from punishing the other. Have they recovered their memories, escaped their brainwashing, or do they have other motives?
- Is this set during the time when Kunzite was the last dark!Shitennou left, and Mamoru (Endymion) was being brainwashed by Beryl?
