I love this fic!!!!!!!
I'm really curious, in the timeline of your story, did clow meet Yuuko after the madoshi disaster or they met before that and he just returned from Hongkong? Were Yuuko and clow romantically involved before the madoshi incident (clow doesn't seem like the cheating type)?

In my headcanon, Clow and Yuuko have met each other for almost their whole lives in between dreams and almost never in a straight time line setting, up until they both were the Witch of Dimensions and The Most Powerful Wizard.

In my Clow/Yuuko stories they are, almost never, a couple in the straight term of it. They are best friends and they love each other, they know that, but they aren't - and won't - be exclusive, because they can spend as much time together as they can apart (that and, their two egos combined would destroy the universe faster than it SHOULD).

Re: Madoushi. Clow was, is and will be in love with Yuuko. But that doesn't mean he hasn't or won't be in love with someone else (the Clow I write is a widower more often than not), just like Yuuko will love other people. They both know this. They are okay with this. They are far too old and far too powerful to really worry about things like jealousy with each other.
