CCS fic recs
Apr. 6th, 2009 10:57 amI know I promised to look for good S/S fluff. But I got sidetracked by xovers.
Immortal Soul(s) - CCS/Good Omens xover
I guess this wouldn't be as interesting to read if you haven't read Good Omens. But I loved the interplay between Crowley (the demon) and Aziraphale (the angel), who have a tendency of getting their their jobs accomplished in spite of themselves. There is a mention of Yuuko at the end, which I guess technically makes this a Tsubasa xover too.
Greatness in the Making - CCS/HP
Not quite the Eriol-drives-Hogwarts-nuts fic I was looking for, but Young!Clow in Hogwarts alongside Ulric the Oddball is genius.
Stormy Affair - xxxHolic/HP
Searched for more by the same author as the last two and turned up some xxxHolic xovers. This one is the wizarding tabloid's take on Clow and Yuuko's relationship. I think it would have been better if there wasn't any written rebuttal from Clow or Yuuko, and skip right to the last retraction. Ne?
Severus Snape and the Bishounen's Eye - xxxHolic/HP
Same author. Title says it all, I think.
The Yamasutra A.K.A. Yamazaki-kun Teaches Sex Ed
Utter crack. Reminds me of that PoT doujin where Inui taught sex ed.
*****
Strongest Feeling
Finally, a S/S fic. Short romantic comedy based on the second movie. What do you know, finally found something that has good spelling & grammar, minimal amounts of "cutesy" writing abuse, and is vaguely canonical.
More to come as I find them

Date: 2009-04-07 01:46 am (UTC)Greatness in the Making - Is decently funny, although I disagree with some parts of the characterizations of Clow.
Stormy Affari - The layout turned me away.
Severus Snape and the Bishounen's Eye - Is it Subaru's eye? Because if so, a hangover potion is totally not of equal price. Oddly enough, I keep waiting for Yuuko to lay down the hurt on Dumbledore. And the "Kimihiro" threw me off. Yes, I know his first name is Kimihiro, but if even he refers to himself as "Watanuki"...it's just weird when narrative calls him "Kimihiro".
Okay, so CCS S/S fluff already. :p

Date: 2009-04-07 02:06 am (UTC)Severus Snape and the Bishounen's Eye - I think the point of the fic was that there are so many dismembered (if that's the right term) eyeballs floating around the CLAMP-verse that Yuuko would totally have a hug stock of 'em around. XD
S/S fluff - Um... there's still 4 pages of CCS/HP xovers I need to go through first. *shifty eyes*

Bishounen's Eye - One has to wonder just what she had to give in return for all those eyes. Then again, she probably just had Fuuma fetched 'em, which isn't any better.
S/S - Faaaasssstttttteeeeerrrrrr...
Oh, and CCS Chinese scanlation links are up.

With a few more years of maturity and learning either actual Japanese or that reading random Japanese that doesn't add anything to the story is jarring.
But, still better than the most I've looked at, so, that's something.

"With a few more years of maturity and learning either actual Japanese or that reading random Japanese that doesn't add anything to the story is jarring"
Also, Syaoron? There goes the "Little Wolf" nickname.
