Gems of Memory

The Price of a Wish
By: Memory Dragon
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or xxxHolic, nor do I make any claim to.
Characters: Delgado Master, Yuuko, Watanuki. Implied Delgado Master/Three
Warnings: Just a bit of me injuring the Master at the start. Nothing more than a few bruises, really.
Notes: Written for the best_enemies drabble challenge. They were doing crossovers and I got tired of waiting for one that was plausible for me to write. So I took matters into my own hands and wrote one for xxxHolic. A Tsubasa Chronicle crossover is probably going to be coming as well, since I never was able to resist balancing the equation. That one doesn't seem like it'll have anything to do with the Master though (Three's wish has more to do with getting out of exile than anything to do with the Master), so it probably won't be posted to b_e.

Also, according to Cy, you don't actually have to know xxxHolic to understand the fic.
Time line: It takes place sometime just before the Dreaming arc (after Himawari and Doumeki become Yuuko's customers, which is hopefully a non-spoiler-y way of putting that as possible) in xxxHolic and sometime after Colony in Space for the Master.
Thanks: Thanks to narwhale_callin and nemaline for the beta. Nar for her usual excellent suggestions and Cy for being my guinea pig to make sure it made sense to someone who's never heard of xxxHolic. I love you both.

( The Master's TARDIS veered off course. )

Warnings: I repeat, this is not yaoi. So as much as you might want me to make this next scene into something more, it ain't gonna happen. It's still plenty fun though. XD
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. Also, "The Lady of Shalott" is not mine... Though it is a beautiful poem. Look it up if you haven't read it already.

Warnings: Watanuki gets beat up quite a bit in this chapter. Though, since my beta enjoyed it, I'm not sure if I should really mention it in warning... Also, I apologize before hand for the Samurai armor. But more on that at the end of the chapter...

Warnings: Doumeki's acting a little strange in this chapter, but there is reason. Also, there's a bit more Haruka-san thrown in just because I love him so. There's also a little bit of Watanuki fawning. But like I said, no romance. So it's just his usual fawning. XD

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.

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.
