    Summary

    A few days after the fight at the Minakami shrine, Utena's mother finds Utena's newly-acquired stash of S&M magazines. Since she has a bit of experience in the scene, she decides to confront her daughter about her newfound interest, if only to make sure she knows the proper etiquette.

    Reassured by her mother's acceptance of her sadistic nature, Utena learns to accept and embrace the darker part of herself. Realizing that it's just one part of her multifaceted personality, she learns to embrace the dark without forgetting the light.

    And somehow, it changes everything.

    Set immediately after chapter 3 of the manga, this fic explores Utena learning of and employing proper BDSM etiquette. That— along with the fact Tres Magia are made aware Baiser is being blackmailed by Vena— redefines her encounters with Tres Magia, defeats now leading to consensual BDSM sessions. Utena also actively works to seduce Tres Magia, hoping to win their love and make them hers.
    I can't help but compare this to 'Lines', as they share many ideas. 'Motherly Advice' has a much lighter hearted tone, in line with canon, and at times feels less believable— Utena mastering the art of BDSM and how learning to please women in just a few days, Haruka having BDSM knowledge from the start and Baiser gaining Tres Magia's trust so quickly, stretches plausibility. Still, it remains an enjoyable and engaging read despite those leaps.

    Summary

    Today, Haruka is on her own. Two thirds of Tres Magia have taken a sick leave, and it's up to her to defeat Magia Baiser once and for all! That is, unless her stomach turns upside down, and she has to excuse herself from the fight, leaving behind a very worried Utena that resents the idea of her crossing a line with her beloved Magical Girl. After all, she's a villain, not a monster.

    Roughly feels like it could fit in canon.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Diverging from chapter 10, Baiser stays with Azul, comforting her and uses magic to repair the cracked Magia Heart. They learn each others identities and grow closer, with Sayo becoming somewhat emotionally dependent on Utena. However, mixing Baiser’s magic into Azul's Heart proves to have consequences.
    The writing is fairly rough, with quite a few OOC moments and the drama gets resolved too easily.

    It's a fun take on the series. The concept of an 'adorable clumsy villainess nobody can bring themselves to hate' (Utena without Baiser persona) is delightful and I'd love to see more fics exploring the idea.
    That said it's quite rough around the edges. The characters feel a bit OOC, everything is heavily Americanized (dialogue, setting, etc) and features very juvenile humor. Though most of it's faults can be overlooked if you treat it as an American AU.
    Overall it's still an enjoyable read if you can look past is faults.
