Summary: Set in the Silver Millennium - What if not all the Monarchs supported the Alliance? What if the Queen's own Senshi were prepared to betray her? And how would hidden passions and agendas shape Serenity and Endymion's romance?

Author's Notes can be found at the bottom of each part.

Preface
(An important word from the author before you begin...)

Personally, I've never thought peace could last for a millennium. Or that all the planets (with the exception of Earth) could agree to follow whatever the Lunar Queen decreed and not be angry or jealous.

I've also never believed the Senshi were immune to corruption. Or jealously. Or that the Senshi preceding the ones we know would be too tolerant of a 'child' having certain authorities or abilities within the Kingdom that they didn't.

In addition, I don't agree that all the Senshi were princesses of their respective planets. That would cause too many political problems, what with the other planets having to subject their future rulers to one Queen. Too many egos to bruise.

"Fade To Black" is my take on how the Moon Kingdom might have been destroyed and how the Silver Millennium ended... and the part Princess Serenity, her Senshi and the other planets might have played...

My other inspiration for the 'fic comes from the following lyrics from the Queens Of The Stone Age song "Go With The Flow"
"... Little soliders in a row / Falling in and out of love / With something sweet to throw away / But I want something good to die for / To make it beautiful to live..."

With that all out of the way, I hope you'll read andenjoy the following 'fic!
