xxxHOLiC/Tsubasa post apocalyptic AU (draft) - Part 3
I never had much interest in X fanfic back during my early days in the fandom - it seemed like one of those CLAMP series which just didn't work in a way where fanfic would be able to capture the same mood.

I've always thought that was one of the main challenges of turning out a good AU - keeping everyone recognisable even though they're in a different setting.

Should be a bit more of that to come in the next part I'll be posting. ^_~
