Yeah, yeah, it took me almost two years to update. My apologies.

Formerly titled "Because Love". I changed it because I've always hated it.

Previous entries here.

Title: A Welcome Arrow
Rating: R
Summary: Doumeki plans a date; Watanuki experiences a few new things.
Disclaimer: Belongs to CLAMP, blah blah blah.
The Song: You're All I Have, Snow Patrol The Music Video, for your listening pleasure
Thank You: baka_taru and sentimentale for their near-constant harassment.
Please Note: This series stops being parallel to cannon around American volume 10. I have not read beyond American volume 13, so please, no spoilers in the comments.

( A Welcome Arrow )

godamnit, I am having the hardest time finding colored scans of xxxHolic. Surfing LJ and deviantART has yielded very, very little and since I have no artistic abilities, doing it myself is out.

So I guess I'm asking if anyone could point me in the right direction? Or give me searching tips? I really have no idea what I'm doing on the internet anymore.

EDIT: Oh! And if you're into Naruto at all, please watch this and comment! My friend made this AMV and it's awesome (and I don't even watch Naruto) and she needs more love for her amazingness, since I know she spent three sleepless, foodless days trying to make it perfect. Please?

Title: Safe Under My Umbrella
Rating: PG
Word Count: 744
Summary: Doumeki knows the storm that threatens ahead.
Disclaimer: Characters and situation spawned and owned by CLAMP.
Notes: Big thank yous to baka_taru and caleb_moss for the beta and feedback!

( Safe Under My Umbrella [Doumeki Perspective, Cha 106] )

I just got my xxxHolic volume 11 in the mail. Goddamn I forgot how much I loved half those scenes.

( xxxHolic 149 ftw. )

( Tsubasa, on the other hand... )

Bah. I really don't want to go to work. It's too cold outside to walk.

I need tea. *wanders off*

Title: Wouldn't Change A Thing
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Watanuki's surprise is constant, and Doumeki's not used to feeling like a roller coaster.
Disclaimer: Characters belong to Clamp... I just like to mess with 'em. Lyrics belong to Lifehouse!
Lyrics: Spin - Lifehouse // Get the song.
A/N: Thank you, thank you, thank you to iambickilometer and baka_taru for the prompt and amazing beta'ing!

( Wouldn't Change A Thing )

Because iambickilometer wanted me to share the love. This playlist doesn't contain any songs I ganked from other people (check out this post for many awesome suggestions!) or any from Because Love. For I am evil like that and protect my plot like a leprechaun and his gold.

Title: The Trouble With You
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2,705
Summary: There's an unlikely assortment of people in Doumeki's temple that want to tell ghost stories, and there's one who just keeps surprising him.

( The Trouble With You [Doumeki Perspective, Cha 14] )

Just caught up on new xxxHolic/TRC chapters because I didn't want to ruin the nice, planned evening with husband with OMGWTFBBQ. ( the OMGWTFBBQ commences. Spoilers! )

(/spaz) Off to pretend to be a normal human being now.

Just finished The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. Cut for spoilers. ( OMG. )

Why cannot I not write lately? *fumes* Real-life die down please? My creativity is suffering. I MISS MY FANDOMS. And I still can't find my xH 2. *more fuming* Oh, xxxHOLiC, where are you? I need you so.

I have never seen a cat have so much fun with a simple hair-tie. My furniture is suffering.

EDIT: baka_taru is lending me his xH2 because he is made of awesomeness and enjoys free coffee.
