Title: traveler's log: Five Worlds Clow and Yuuko Visited
Fandom/Length/Prompt/Pairing: xxxHOLiC/Magic Knight Rayearth/Wish, 1027 words. Journeys and quests. Gen.
Other: #1 is a MKR crossover, #5 is a Wish crossover, the rest aren't CLAMP worlds.
Excerpt: The way that the angels dressed reminded Yuuko of Yue. She gave Clow a measured look. After a moment, he shrugged and turned to rest his arms on the rail of the bridge, looking out.
Title: Slick
Fandom/Length/Prompt/Pairing: xxxHOLiC, 752 words. The way we were: pre-canon fic. Clow/Yuuko.
Other: PG for sexual implications.
Excerpt: Yuuko did not giggle. Nor did she attempt to get out of the tub. She just looked at Clow, utterly exasperated. "Slippery, yes, but that doesn't matter when someone pushes you in," she said sweetly.
Title: Eggshell
Fandom/Length/Prompt/Pairing: xxxHOLiC, 997 words. Reunion (free space). Gen.
Other: Spoilers for recent chapters of xH/TRC. Useless canon speculation on end of series.
Excerpt: Before she could stop herself, she was stepping through the gate, walking down the path. The house was well-lit, but at the same time, she thought to herself that the owner was out. It had that feeling of unoccupancy.
Title: The Dreamer's Question
Fandom/Length/Prompt/Pairing: xxxHOLiC/Cardcaptor Sakura/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, 2918 words. Contemporary AU. Clow/Yuuko.
Other: Spoilers for recent chapters, surprisingly G, mostly AU. The one in which Clow and Yuuko are married and Clow has been having interesting dreams.
Excerpt: Kimihiro, like Sakura, grows up learning three languages. His father teaches him to cook and sew; his mother teaches him how to choose the right kind of sake and how to see the things that are really there that no one notices. He manifests his first magic circle at the age of nine; he exorcises his first spirit not much later, in a flailing manner alongside the cool young grandson of a priest who lives nearby. It is not a usual life, perhaps, but it is a happy one.
Title: Growing Up
Fandom/Length/Prompt/Pairing: Dead Like Me, 899 words. Backstory. Gen.
Other: Charlie is the pet Reaper from episodes 1x14, 2x8, and 2x13.
Excerpt: He didn't understand what she meant until he was crouching down next to the cat on the side of the road. After brushing his hand along the crusted fur, he staggered off and retched into the bushes.
