On the one hand:

I is sick[ish]. I'm not sure if it's allergies+sinus or cold+sinus or what, but. Bleargh. Also? I is cold.

On the other hand:

I watched nine episodes of Kyou Kara Maou this weekend. (Konrad love. Oh, Konrad love. And randomly, I <3 Ryan/KG OTP.)

I accidentally discovered a wellspring of XXXholic fic. Doumeki/Watanuki holic fic. Holy crap. Last year at this time? There was, like, none. I know, 'cause I got a XXXholic request for Yuletide last year and I was all "Where is the Doumeki/Watanuki fic that should be out there because they are so obviously FATED FOR EACH OTHER?" Mind you, this was *before* the last couple of volumes, so obviously my Clamp-dar is more sensitive than most people's, but now I am reading the latest chapters, and HOLY SHIT, they are so obvious. I swear Clamp is doing everything but walloping the readers' with a giant clue bat. (Actually, Yuuko needs a clue bat. And she needs to use it on Watanuki right now. Except he would probably freak and spazz and hide in his room, because even with a clue, Watanuki still isn't exactly Mr. Social Skills.) Still, don't be surprised if XXXholic fic shows up here sometime soon.

Wow. I really need a better Clamp icon. This one's not gay at all.

*stares in horrified awe* I am reading Tsubasa badfic. There's so little fic out there for this fandom that you wouldn't think it would inspire a work of this level of badness yet, but somehow this exists. I don't know what to be scared of more, the Ashura/Kurogane "bitchslap extravaganza," the gratuitious Star Wars quote, or the premise that Fai left Ashura sleeping in his watery coffin as a way of dumping him.

Also, I apparently need to add more people to my AIM buddy list. Nobody is on.

So I went on a bit of a mini-CLAMP fic marathon the other day, thanks to poking around the tomomichi blog. XXXholic and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. *squee* And funny X fic, like the one where Sorata wakes up and realizes that everyone around him is GAY. (Actually...I think Seiichiro is straight. Which means that my mind immediately leaps to wondering who I could pair him with and how I could make it work. Because I am insane like that.)

But, oh! New chapters of TRC to read. *loves all over them* And there was a period of several months in which the group was separated, and Fye and Kurogane didn't have Mokona to translate for them, and only Kurogane spoke the natives' language. And yes, I did read a very nice fic set during this time where Fye was injured and Kurogane had to bandage him up and they had this little wordless conversation because of how well they know each other by now (even if Kurogane would never admit it), but... I want fic from that period of Kurogane trying to teach Fye the language. Wouldn't it be awesome? Wouldn't it hit my linguistics kink buttons? Wouldn't you like to write it? Huh, huh?
