One thing I'll always be sideeying clamp for is halting X before it's revealed whether Sakurazukamori!Subaru kills people or not. You don't understand, that's crucial for whether his mental health would go even more down the drain
ok i know i already wrote the vaguely CLAMP setting inspired horrible exorcists AU oneshots but
i would Still really really really love to see some kind of oh, i don't know, glittering exorcist clan shindig near tokyo and natori is there (sparkly as usual, and getting tangentially even more recognized than he usually is--new movie billboards u know, and he just finished a new high end fashion line sponsorship) when another exorcist (dark sunglasses, suit sharp enough to cut) tries to hand him a wineglass, looking like he wants to strike up a genial conversation--
then matoba is suddenly there, and smiles (all teeth), placing a hand casually over natori's wrist and drawing him back
'excuse the disrespect,' the matoba head says, all unerring politeness, to seishirou sakurazukamori, 'i've been looking for natori-san all evening, i've promised him a few minutes of my time, you see--my thanks for saving me the trouble of having to find him.'
'it was no trouble,' seishirou sakurazuka says, pleasantly; the swirl of the wineglass with his wrist reflects an eerie splash of red over his pale hand.
do you think kamui ever blames himself a bit for subaru leaving after rainbow bridge? like. maybe if he'd stayed in the room with him he wouldn't have left.
The smile we can't protect <\3
Clamp has messed up my life with the last cover I can't explain.
I didn't think it would have so much emotional weight after seeing Xxx Holic, but it's Subaru right, it's sad and shocking <\3
And I'm really looking forward to an announcement of a new anime
That the next manga will be X
but to be X you need to come out of hiatus
Come on CLAMP! Surprise me the same way you surprised me with this cover
Subaru finding out Seishirou cheated on him (stalked and almost killed another pretty twink boy) so he goes around and cheats himself (gets his eye stabbed out by another man)
People these days dont value true love anymore 馃様 dont mutual obsession and destruction mean nothing anymore???
2024 | 20 | @seisubhanamiexchange gift for @subaru192
i chose prompt 1 "seisub in another fandom (clamp or no clamp) where they find themselves in opposition. scene of confrontation or animosity" and took some additional inspiration from prompt 3 "seishirou was born as a sumeragi, subaru as a sakurazukamori, and both are the same age."
my non clamp fandom of choice was witch hat atelier. if you're not familiar with the manga, i highly recommend giving it a read! though even if you don't, i hope you find something to enjoy about this piece!
