Sweet Little Lies

Sweet Little Lies

By: Memory Dragon
Summary: Kurogane had never thought he would become drinking buddies with a white manju bun. He had never thought of a lot of things, actually... Kuro centric, no pairings.
Disclaimer: Tsubasa Chronicles belongs to Clamp. I don't own it and make no claim to. Nor do I own the song, Little Lies. That belongs to Fleetwood Mac.
Warnings: Regular spoiler warnings apply. If you haven't read the infinity arc, expect spoilers. And if you haven't read 125 and up, don't bother, lol. Oh, this fic is also kind of dark. Don't say I didn't warn you. No pairings.  Also, despite the title, not a song fic.
Time Line: A little bit after Kurogane gets Syaoran drunk and passed out on the couch during the infinity arc.

Those Tears, That Smile

Those Tears, That Smile
By: MemoryDragon
Summary: Doumeki wants to remember those tears and that smile, no matter what the cost. That was what he chose.
Disclaimer: xxxHolic belongs to Clamp. I don't own it and make no claim to.
Warnings: Spoilers. I'm not quite sure where I ended this little piece, but on the safe side, let's just assume up to volume 11. Also, warm fuzzy-ness ahead. It's not really shounen-ai, but you can take it that way if you want. XD  It was written before a few references to Doumeki's reasons in the manga came to light, so just take that accordingly.

Stray Cat Blues

Stray Cat Blues
By: Memory Dragon
Summary: Watanuki starts to feel under-appreciated. Unfortunately, he voices his complaint out loud. Feline madness as only Yuuko could think up results as Watanuki learns just what the others think of him.
Warnings: Insane warm fuzziness. There is no real pairing in here, but... Oh, well, you'll see. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
Disclaimer: I do not own xxxHolic, nor do I make any claim to.
Author's Thanks: Many thanks to TheOptimisticPessimist for wading through this crazy sugary fic and making it better. It's because of her that I'm actually posting this... I've become far too wary of my own fluffy fics to decide if they're actually good or not.  But here it is... You guys can decide.
Timeline: Sometime during the 'dreaming' arcs.
Author's Notes: Tama is the stereotypical cat name in Japanese. Hana means "flower," which I thought was appropriate for Himawari's choice. XD It's also the name of a kitten in one of my Weiss fics, so I couldn't resist.

This was a fic spurred by a note I left in one of my other xxxHolic fics. It started as just a note to myself to add more description... and this somehow resulted instead. Of course, when the said note consisted solely of "Watanuki as a cat," it's a little more understandable...

In Any Other World: Tsubasa Side, Prologue

In Any Other World~Tsubasa Side
By Memory Dragon
Summary: Syaoran and the others enter a country only to disrupt the balance and wake a terrible monster. Can they work with the Amazons to save everyone, or will their own fragile bonds tear them apart? Set between Acid Tokyo and Infinity Arcs.
Warnings: Um, lots of angst. And action. And cliff hangers. Not for the faint of heart, I guess. There is some cross over with xxxHolic, but nothing more than you would see in a regular arc from the manga.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tsubasa or xxxHolic, nor do I make any claim to. Nor can I claim the lyrics from the song "Any Other World" by Mika. Just borrowing it, since it goes so well with the fic.
Author's Thanks: Much love to Neko, who stepped up and betaed when I couldn't find anyone else!
Notes: *Important to read* This is the first of two fics written side by side of each other. You don't need to read both stories to enjoy this one, but if you do want to read the xxxHolic story as well, please read one chapter of this fic then the corresponding chapter of the xxxHolic fic. Kind of an annoying way to read, I know, but that's how they were meant to be read.

In Any Other World: xxxHolic Side, Prologue

In Any Other World, xxxHolic Side
By Memory Dragon
Summary: Watanuki finds himself in a peculiar predicament due to one of Yuuko's errands. It becomes the least of his worries when Doumeki begins to act strangely. Once the archer disappears, what does Watanuki have to do to get him back?
Warnings: Little bit of fluff and Watanuki torment. Oh, and cliff hangers. Lots of those.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tsubasa or xxxHOlic, nor do I make any claim to. Nor can I claim the lyrics from the song "Any Other World" by Mika. Just borrowing it, since it goes so well with the fic.
Time Line: Some time after Himawari-chan gets Tanpopo, but before Watanuki makes everyone gloves and starts dreaming heavily. It's the best time line for what I want to write, with out getting too heavily into Kohane-chan. She didn't quite fit into the shape of the fic, unfortunately. And since Doumeki needed to be able to see spirits, there was the best place to put the fic in the time line.
Pairings: None. No romance in this fic, but I hope you'll keep reading anyway cause there's plenty to make up for it.
Author's Thanks: Much love to Neko, who stepped up and betaed when I couldn't find anyone else!
Notes: *Important to read* This is the second of two fics written side by side of each other. You don't need to read both stories to enjoy this one, but if you do want to read the Tsubasa story as well, please read one chapter of the Tsubasa then the corresponding chapter of the xxxHolic fic. Kind of an annoying way to read, I know, but that's how they were meant to be read. Since the Tsubasa fic comes first, you might want to read that chapter before this one.
