Glass Half Empty (TRC, PG-13)

[iambickilometer]

So I, uh, finally caught up with Tsubasa and Holic. (WHAT WHAT WHAT THE FUCK) I then remembered I'd been working on a few fic when I left, and rereading this one I found it worked rather well as it was. Thus, quite late, here it is.

Title: Glass Half Empty
Fandom: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (of all things!)
Rating/Warnings: PG-13/none really

"They aren't drinking properly, then," Kurogane replies. "The glass is either full, empty, or being refilled."

That and the ending line are my favorite, hehe. Aaah, it's nice to see your Tsubasa fic again. <33333

I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, I guess I'm sort of returning to the fandom? I'm working on a few old Holic fic I never finished, and I'd like to write more Tsubasa fic, especially because I really loved the way they ended it. Lots of room for exploration.

But yeah, hopefully there'll be more where that came from. Thanks!

Livi tells me that xxxHolic is worth catching up on. I'm not sure I believe her. Thoughts?

[aopt]

...

it...

It's very pretty. The art, I mean.

The story? Is hurting my brain and making me want to punch Watanuki out. I guess if you don't mind having your fun silly romp through the occult made all angsty and serious, sure, continue. But, uh, if not? Don't bother. It's not all that exciting. I'd actually recommend Tsubasa instead. It's A) finished, and B) resolved to the point where it actually makes sense again.

[intarwebz8myhw]

I was pretty sure nothing could ever make Tsubasa make sense again. WTF CLAMP.

[aopt]

It is a very WTF sort of explanation, but it does explain everything. I DON'T EVEN KNOW. APPARENTLY THEY ACTUALLY HAD A PLAN FROM THE START.

[nebulia]

This is wonderful and delightful and SO Kuro and Fai. xD

Also, yeah, wtf is really the only possible reaction to recent events in TRC/holic.

[aopt]

I love them so goddamn much. I have missed these characters.

It really, really is.

Oh, this is lovely. Even at the height of my TRC writing frenzy, I never read much in the fandom, but I'm so glad I noticed this and clicked the link. Definitely going in my bookmarks.

ETA: Would you mind if I added you over at aopt? I wandered in that directions to peruse your icons, but if you have a closed friending policy or something, that's cool too. :)

[iambickilometer]

Thank you! The fandom definitely had its ups and downs; I wouldn't know anymore, of course, but I imagine it's the same. Still, there's some good stuff. I'm glad you liked this.

And yes, you're more than welcome to! I like to keep life and fandom pretty separate but more for other people's sakes than my own; if you're interested in my goings-on, I'd love to have you. Mind, it's all just crossposted from Dreamwidth, so if you read over there you're not missing anything. :)

[damalur]

Whoo, extra-belated reply. I shall go ahead and add you, then; I'm just not around on Dreamwidth much, although I'm thinking that I might make the switch when my paid account runs out here. They just implemented cross-site reading, didn't they?

Terribly, wonderfully, bitterly amazing story. Before the WTF!! events of the ending of TRC, I also pictured something like this for their futures.

Though gotta love Yuuko for her lack of subtlety. XD

So I, uh, finally caught up with Tsubasa and Holic. (WHAT WHAT WHAT THE FUCK)

And that, my dear, is definite proof that you have caught up with both stories. Join the club. We're still tryin to understand what really happened, though I suspect that even after xxxholic has finished we won't have really understood it (whatever CLAMP are smoking, I want some :P).
