As of August 16, 2010, these are all of the fics I have recieved. They are all great and awesome and you should read every single one. I've organized them in alphabetical order by title and just. Go read. Enjoy them! :D
There were a number of writers who didn't inform me they were dropping out entirely who haven't sent me their fics--by all means you are welcome to do so! They won't get posted for another week or so, because I'm going to Peru, but they will get posted.
For those of you who dropped out or dropped a prompt or two due to time restrictions or the fact that you couldn't make the word count, please do finish your fic and send me a link! In a month or so I will try to post a list of links to those fics, too, because they deserve tons of credit.
So, here they are! Enjoy! :D
Title: Abort, Fail, Retry
Author:

pandoraculpaSummary: They can't seem to do anything right together, but still Doumeki is there.
Rating: NC-17
The prompt:In-character Watanuki/Doumeki or Doumeki/Watanuki Fail!Sex, because we never get to read it, at least not in this fandom.
Maybe they're having oral sex and the one giving the blowjob is using too much teeth. Maybe it's anal and the one at the bottom really isn't enjoying it, or the top can't over what those body parts are actually meant for. Maybe one of them is simply too tired/in too much pain/too stressed to enjoy sex altogether and would rather just sleep. Maybe one of them couldn't get it up. Maybe they can't get over the fact that there are children in the house and they could be overhead (Maru, Moro and Mokona count as such).
Either way, I want a scene in which one of them asks the other to stop, and the other actually stops. If there's one thing that annoys me of yaoi (ok, there are many), is how the uke's protests are almost invariably always ignored by the seme. Bonus points if you manage to avoid the seme/uke dynamics entirely. My love eternal if the one asking the other to stop is Doumeki. That one's gotta be hard to pull off.

know too much about you, and the wish you never had to come back home
for Christmas. Doumeki and Himawari have holiday survival down to an
art.
Rating: T for Teen
The prompt:Doumeki visits Himawari at college. Her dorm

Don't They Have Payphones Wherever You Were Last Night Title: The Education of Doumeki Haruka
Author:
ekaterin24Rating: PG to R
Summary: How Haruka became the skilled, wise, and
good-humored dream-ghost he is in Xxxholic canon. (childhood
and teenage years only--there's more in the works if
anyone's interested.
The PromptSomething with Haruka. We don't have enough stories about him as we should, considering just how awesome he is...
Something about him and Shizuka as a child, or perhaps a story about a young Haruka learning to handle his powers... or maybe even something about him as he is now, lurking in the background and occasionally visiting Watanuki in dreams to advise him on how to deal with his grandson. Because we all know he wants Watanuki as a grandson-in-law, right? ;D
But no Haruka/Watanuki, please. There's something in me that cringes away from that pairing; I just can't get over their age difference, despite appearences. And in my eyes, Watanuki sees him as an adopted grandfather of sorts...
title: Equivalent
Author:
hiyami_himesummary: Jorogumo visits Watanuki and without considering the consequences, he thinks of Doumeki and allows his emotions to get away from him. Doumeki isn't happy, but who would be after seeing their precious person have sex with someone else - much less Jorogumo - through said precious person's eye?
rating: R (I think, if only 'cuz of Jorogumo's abuse)
warning: sex, injuries
AN: Apologies to the OP - it didn't come out quite the way I'd planned it to, but I can't dislike it either. I ended up writing in a style very different from my usual, so I'm looking forward to any responses.
The prompt:Recent chapters, Watanuki has sex with Jorougumo and lets Doumeki see it through their eye.

Author:
curious_robin Rating: R, for strong language
Length: 14,881 words
Summary: It was a cycle that rolled and rolled, until it reached its limit.
The prompt:I would love to see an AU of the situation of recent chapters. Like no magic or anything, just Watanuki, a genius cook or something who happens to be some kind of addict now, alienating all his friends either intentionally or un and Doumeki being the only person who he actually manages to keep around. Angst! Anger! Arguments! A happy ending! Himawari coming back!
The Limit, part one The Limit, part two pay your memory like the piper (fst) Title: Moments in Time
Author:
blossomdreamsSummary: Watanuki and Doumeki agreed that they wouldn't see each other during Doumeki's finals. It would cause too much of a distraction for Doumeki, something that Watanuki doesn't want to happen. What happens when they start to miss each other, but won't admit it to the other? What happens when Doumeki finishes his finals?

Title: Thank Hitsuzen
Author:
kashunekoPairing: Watanuki/Doumeki
Rating: NC17
Length: 5,017 words
Summary: Written as part of the xxxHolic Minibang. Prompt follows. Inspired by art created by
Alexiel_neesan, placed in the story at the appropriate spot. Doumeki is quiet and brooding as he enters the shop to find it too quiet. He thinks about his life's choices and wonders about fate. Meanwhile, Watanuki has come to a decision of his own that has the potential to change the way Doumeki views hitsuzen. How does Watanuki come to this decision? By spying on one of Doumeki's dreams. What he sees makes him... wake up, as it were.
The prompt:Like a stone
That rolls down a hill
I have come to this day.
[Ishikawa Takuboku]
For a long time, I've been wondering what Doumeki thinks about the effect Hitsuzen has had on his life. Mostly he appears to shrug it off, like everything else, but I wonder about the times it must be difficult for him. Choices he would rather have made, things he's had to sacrifice, for a person who mostly treats him like a nuisance. Does he ever despair over it? What keeps him going?
Thank Hitsuzen

Author
retsukoRating: pg-13
The prompt:I want to see Doumeki doing his best to care for Watanuki during one of those times... maybe after taking first aid classes so that he can do an even better job at it? It doesn't even have to show any physical manifestation of their relationship (severe injuries aren't precisely conductive to good sex), but if you really want to, maybe you could show Doumeki's feeling through how tender he is with Watanuki's injuries...? and maybe a light kiss in the brow? (remember, they are Japanese. Even a kiss in the brow is a big deal for them)
In other words, I want something that could be canon-compliant, if you stretched your imagination a bit and looked at certain references in the latest chapter creatively enough.

Rating: T, for language
AN: Hands down, this is the crackiest thing I have ever written and posted somewhere where people could read it, and, in fact, I even make an angsty part of Rou a stupid joke. Consider yourself warned.
The prompt:Doumeki riding a dinosaur. I don't care how you manage it, but I want him riding a T-rex or something.
This Was Not Part of the Plan (Again) Title: to stop too fearful, and too faint to go
Author:
well_ladeedahRating: G
Summary: Time deals all wounds. Himawari learns to live, learns to love, and learns to let go.
The prompt:Himawari loves Watanuki but refuses to consider being with him, because she knows it would only hurt both of them. She hopes Watanuki will be with Doumeki so at least her two dearest friends can be happy in her stead. Doumeki talks to her about this in an oblique way, as he realizes how much it must hurt her but is selfish enough to want Watanuki for himself.
