[Fic] "Dark and Stormy" (Kuro/Fai + Ensemble, Complete) & "Dim Smitten Star" (Sei/Su, One-shot)

[psiten]

This is part of an ongoing series in an all-CLAMP Pirates vs. Ninjas alternate universe, "Fifteen Mokona on a Dead Man's Chest", comprised of stand-alone short stories that can be read independently without going back for earlier installments. As the stories go on, however, they will consistently tie together for those who prefer to start at the beginning:

1. Rum & Popcorn (Doumeki/Watanuki) [DW - AO3 - FF.net]
2. Talk Like a Pirate Day (Kurogane/Fai) [DW - AO3 - FF.net]
3. Slings and Arrows (Doumeki/Watanuki) [DW - AO3 - FF.net
4. You Got It (Rikuou/Kazahaya) [DW - AO3 - FF.net]

~//~The fifth installment is:

Title: "Dark and Stormy"
Author: psiten
Series: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHoLic, X, Tokyo Babylon, Magic Knight Rayearth, WISH, Card Captor Sakura, Angelic Layer, Clover
Rating: R - strong language, explicit sex in some chapters (Edited version is PG-13)
Relationships: Kurogane x Fai D. Fluorite (Romance), Shidou Hikaru & Shirou Kamui (Friendship)
Genre: AU, Comedy/Drama mix, Romance
Status: 12 chapters, about 61,000 words - complete.
Warnings: 1) Chapters marked "Explicit" are age-locked on my journal for sexual content. 2) In some cases, Fai and Kurogane engage in light BDSM that does not meet best practice standards for "safe and sane" behavior, although they have the "consensual" part covered. Some scenes may include impact play, edgeplay, and/or breathplay.

Summary: A full-scale pirate rebellion in Sorata's home fleet finds the Dragon of Heaven in a sea battle, Kamui in a race with an elite ninja team for a legendary artifact, and Fai... on a date?

~//~The sixth installment is:

Title: "Dim Smitten Star"
Author: psiten
Series: X, Tokyo Babylon, Card Captor Sakura
Rating: PG-13. For... Seishirou.
Relationship: Sakurazuka Seishirou x Sumeragi Subaru
Genre: AU, Drama/Angst
Status: One-shot (complete), about 1600 words.
Comments: This was intended as a "post-credits" bonus scene for "Dark and Stormy" and takes place the night after that story ends. Its tone and focus were different enough that I decided to post it separately, but readers may decide it benefits from context.

Summary: In which Seishirou is a jerk, Subaru is an overcooked angst-muffin, and Kerberos wishes they had worked out any of their issues in the last 2000 years.
