[xxxHOLiC Fic] Superheroes - Part 3

[rallamajoop]

Rarely am I so happy to see CLAMP change their schedule - now we've got two holic chapters promised to us in the next three weeks! Let's hope they keep to it. ^_^

Anyway, while Kohane-related plot uncertainties keep me stalled on that big project, I've given in and turned out a third part of the Superhero!Watanuki AU, so here are links back to

However, if I was considering maybe throwing the universe open for a sort of libri_holic style thing, would anyone be interested? =D

Me! Me! I'd be interested. (Err, did you ever settle on a superhero name?)

I will confess to wondering if Yuuko slipped any yaoi manga into the stack of superhero comics -- but watching Doumeki learn the tropes of his new life had me in stitches. And his total disinterest in being a martyr was refreshing. No doubt very educational for Watanuki.

Lines that really made me laugh:
“Your lunch?” echoed Yuuko. “Oh, a certain sign of supervillainry, that one.”
“Meaning it truly is his nature to attract those very monsters that it is your own destiny to defeat!” Yuuko declared, leaping to her feet for emphasis and forcing Watanuki to stumble a nervous pace backwards. “Henceforth, I do predict that any that should set foot in our fair city shall surely be driven to target him alone.” ...posing Yuuko always makes me happy.
Watanuki was sure the answer to at least one of those had to be ‘yes’ if there was any mercy in the world, but it would be hopeless to press the point.
On Watanuki, spandex just made people want to give him a sandwich.

Something did attack the city later that afternoon, but by then lunchbreak was long over, and Watanuki’s helpless cries of “Couldn’t you have shown up earlier?” at the thing were rudely ignored.

I AGREE WITH THE LIBRI_HOLIC OPEN UNIVERSE.

... What ever happened to libri_holic? I loved it so much ._.

Well, it's still there, I think it's just that no-one's written anything new for it lately. On which note, it might be overkill to make a whole new comm just for Superhero fic, but I'm not sure how else to play it. ^^;

Cool. ^_^ I sortofmaybe don't want to add to anyone's WIP lists when I know they're that long already, but if people wanted to write for it - well, you know. ^^; (Um, well, about that.... >.>)

You know, I'm pretty sure she didn't. Just a lot about the importance of heroics (and maybe the power of love as an inspirational force to the heroes) and Doumeki's imagination filled in the blanks. Honestly, even if I'm not going to continue this world, writing it so far has been awesome fun. I get to mix up Watanuki's world and the cliche Superhero world all at once! ^_^

It's been a while since I last got to write for Yuuko too - she's a terrifying, over-dramatised kind of wonderful in this world. I hardly had to change any of the three of them at all. XD
