The Raye Trilogy was a series of short stories told in first person, from the POV of Raye Hino (Sailor Mars), focusing on Raye's relationship with Serena and Darien. Throughout the three stories the question left unanswered is whether or not Raye had had sex with Darien during the time they were dating. The stories begin as a mid-episode interlude ("None Of Your Business"), go on to a story between the Black Moon arc ("Five Minutes") and end with Raye at Serena's beside as Serena dies at the end of the Silver Millennium ("One Moment Longer").

Author's Notes

"I really don't know what to say about them. I'm at a loss to explain why they're so popular. I started writing in a state that could be considered insanity (in the legal sense), and haven't really bothered to consider what I'm writing."[1]

Comments & Reactions

"These three stories examine Raye's feelings towards both Serena and Darien. As good as it gets."[2]

(on Five Minutes) "This is the second story of the 'Raye trilogy' and the first of his stories I ever read. It is very short in comparison to much of his work, but very powerful. It is a disturbing story about death and a hopeful story about the sacrifices we make for others. It is a story about mistakes and the price we pay for love. I cried when I read this."[3]

Continuations

Chris Davies wrote another three fics in the same continuity.
