Recommended reading and art
Well, radiofreebanri has made a new transmission with the Feb issue of Zero-Sum and I highly suggest tuning in, if not for the wonderful scans--you do have to be friended by radiofreebanri to see the scans--then for the hilarious interpretations! It hasn't been translated yet, but I think the comments on what Zakuro thinks is happening, something he nicknamed "Uncle Zakkun's Mangled Manga Tales!", is brilliant!
So, go here to enjoy the insanity and be sure to tell Zakuro how much you loved the tale.
And I just found the cutest brand-new xxxHOLiC fic: Watanuki & Doumeki PG We Irish spirits aren't as helpless as your spirits... by blookie, so go read it because it is worth it!
So, what else do I want to say? Oh yes, the other fun stuff I found today--if it doesn't have a rating, that means it is ok for everyone, I made sure to mark the ones that are R--and want to share:
Art:
~rated R~ KuroxFai doujinshi by dark_persian
DoumekixWatanuki art by darkfox200 So cute with the two being connected my a 'red string of fate'
Fics:

Hakkai/Gojyo story about youkai customs among other things by rheasilvia ~ wonderful possessive!Hakkai and a really goofy kappa, not Gojyo!
Sanzo & Goku pre-journey The mail always comes once a week... by tochira Short and cute and so totally Goku.
~Kyou Kara Maou~
Yuuri/Wolfram "The Sweetest Gift" by poisonangel7 which is just an adorable story about a special gift Yuuri has for Wolfram
Yuuri/Wolfram "Advantage" by _shinchansgirl_ and since I'm lazy, I'm linking to the post that has links for all four parts here.
Yuuri/Wolfram ~rated M or R~ "Home Work" Part 3 by ashacrone (which is a sequel to "Forgotten") where Yuuri's family receives the wonderful news of the impending addition to the Shibuya family & Shouri almost kills Wolfram.
Yuuri/Wolfram PG "Swapping Customs" by gracie_musica Yes, it is a Christmas fic but it is still cute.
Gen "Do You Hate Me?" by allira_dream Totally Fluffiness ~ child!Conrad, Celi, Gwendal; child!Wolfram, Conrad. Others. Conrad wonders if Gwendal hates him... and years later, he has to deal with the same question.

~xxxHOLiC~
Yuuko/Clow "Just Like Smoke" by laurus_nobilis Nothing lasts too long for Clow Reed. Serious, but still cute.
Watanuki & Doumeki PG We Irish spirits aren't as helpless as your spirits... by blookie Absolutely fabulous!
~Tsubasa~
Kuro/Fai PG "Return" by stardustmajick Just the right mix of angst and sap.
And YIKES that is a whole bunch o' stuff!
I have also been reading the insanity that is omg_maou where there are doubles of basically everyone running around Shin Makoku, making all sorts of trouble. And I think my favourite, as twisted as he is, is the OOC Shibuya Shouri. Yes, I am strange.
So, go here to enjoy the insanity and be sure to tell Zakuro how much you loved the tale.
