[Doumeki/Watanuki] [Gen, Misc, Etc.]

Doumeki/Watanuki


  Short by Vikki.
Doumeki/Watanuki, a requested drabble for me. Doumeki doesn't know the first thing about cooking.

  Leftovers by Anna.
Doumeki/Watanuki, requested drabble for me. <3 Doumeki always gives Watanuki useless things that somehow come in handy. Or something.

  Peeking Inside the Looking Glass by trixie_chic
Doumeki/Watanuki, could fit somewhere a bit into the series after Doumeki has settled in a touch. (Volume 4-5ish+)  Doumeki is good here-- understated, quiet, but very clear in his intentions, at least to Yuuko and himself. Watanuki is only in the background but very much in character and fantastically filtered through Doumeki.  The device? Classicly canon.

Untitled by stormantia. [Gen? Doumeki/Watanuki? Up to you.]

Nice and sombre, kind of gentle, kind of...of strange. Sweet, but creepy and a bit sad. I really can't explain it, but I love the tone and the feel of the thing.

Down This Road by hydrophobia, [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Really nice in that this could be either way. Kind of loose and flowing and very full of thought processes and rationale and...and good. It's neat. I was a little lost at part, but I think she's reading the translations + raws they post on the com, and I'm just reading the Random House editions. ^^;

Cat Skin by Wyridley [Doumeki/Watanuki a little but mostly plot]

Mostly plot! Fascinating, creepy, bloody plot and totally not the kind of goodness you expect to find on ffnet. It's just so...so suited to the original series, so full of little details and development of action and...and wow. Really, really good.

Button Pushing by Neo [Doumeki/Watanuki a little]

At first I almost didn't want to read this, but do. Please, do. It's just so FUNNY.

Change by Vikki [Doumeki/Watanuki? Slight.]
One of those lovely, smooth, short pieces that just settles into the series and touches bottom without raising much dust. Sweet, effective. Lovely.

Back by half_sleeping [Doumeki/Watanuki]
The possibility of snark, the snark, the post-snark, the...the snark goodness is doubletime and I can't say more than that.


It's As Easy As... by Ciircee [Doumeki/Watanuki]
I'm not sure if this is the same Ciircee who wrote one of my favourite fics of all time, Haikei, but whoever she is, I'm glad she's writing HOLiC. Hm... it's fun, it's listy-ish, it's cute and it makes my fingers itch to run out and buy the new volume of Holic that is supposedly out today. (But is it in store? Hrmm.) Really.

Invoke by Neo [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Exactly what could, is, would be. XD It's fun, it's mostly dialogue, and it's... it's sweet, in a kind of snarky subtle soft little way. So good. Doumeki is just so comfortable with himself!

Sacrifice: Backtrack by tea_garden [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Completely Doumeki-centric in a way I hadn't seen before this, but had kind of been hoping someone would do. I've seen this the other way, but not this way. It's kind of dark and I feel like I'm missing something (I likely am) but it's soooo good.

Is That A Wish? by Still Ciircee [Doumeki/Watanuki hints, directly gen]
Kind of similar to the thing above with a twist. XD Fun, short, so... their sentences are very sharp, very Yuuko And Doumeki.

Ran by Still Ciircee [Doumeki/Watanuki]
FUN. It's lethargic-ish and summer-ish and smooth, slow, subtle, and then BAM. The fun hits, and you're giggling, and poor Doumeki and it's still smooth and slow and subtle and good.

Measure for Measure by Neo [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Doumeki knew he was popular, but it's his indifference to that popularity that makes this story what it is. XD Poor, poor Watanuki.

One Ordinary Night, with Wisteria by sophiap [Doumeki + Watanuki]
Kind of gen, but really not. It's lovely in the mini details and tone, and it's...it's serious. You don't see a lot of serious holic-fic, and this is really, really nice in that it's not overly heavy or too light, it's just... you could slip it in there and it would settle just nicely. I can't express the calm, good feeling I got from this very well, so just...read it.

Unexpected by Ciircee [Watanuki + Doumeki]
I still haven't figured out if this is the same girl, but the writing is awesome. I love the gentle softness of this, and a slightly different Doumeki than a lot of fans do. Lovely, lovely, soft.


Getting a Hands-On Education by still_ciircee [Doumeki/Watanuki/Doumeki]
Oh-ho! This was awesomely hillarious. It's a very novel approach. (Ohhh that was bad, I'm sorry.) Okay, so it's very.. literary. In a weird way. And er, rated R. XDD SO GOOD. I'm sorry this just-- it's funny and smutty and full of UST and snark and-- and a little bit educational, so you'll have to forgive me for giggling. It's lovely in that even just thinking about it, I start laughing. XDDD

Between Insanity and Stupidity by half_sleeping [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Oh, fun! Poor Doumeki is very patient and poor Watanuki is very put-upon, and poor you, you get to read this and laugh and smile a little and then settle in just so.

Midnight Munchies by melfinalupin [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Very similar in mood to the above, but kind of the reverse and...neat. Very neat, very sweet.

Porn by Still_ciircee [Doumeki/Watanuki/Doumeki]
OMG hillarious short-porn. She says not to reply here, since it's rude to hijak posts and there's a post somewhere on [info]doumekiwatanuki. Or her blog. Whatever. At any rate, it's like... the bit you knew was always inside Watanuki that would only come out in this particular way in this particular situation once he knew how much power he has, exactly. XD Funny. XD

Anemone by Neo [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Oooh, lovely, lovely, lovely. Seriously, this is a nice, angsty piece that will leave you smiling. (?! I KNOW.) It's post-series and just so...so plausible that you'll just want to hug the fic because it's so good and just what you were looking for. Seriously. READ IT.

Initiation by Evherie [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Fun! Doumeki is sneak personified, and Watanuki is oblivious, dense, silly and very loud, as usual. It's neat, self-contained and very straight-forward. Enjoyable!

A Non-Denominational Holiday by Neo [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Sure, he’s a Shintoist and it’s actually just a hallmark holiday, but Christmas is Christmas and no one ought to be caught alone. Especially not Watanuki. It's a determined, fierce, sweet story. You'll like it!

Summer Heat by Anna [Sort of Doumeki/Watanuki, sort of gen]
My birthday fic! This was lovely and sweet, with that nice mellow tone you get in really smooth holic fics. Very nice, very simple.

Hidden Meanings by Laz-chan [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Another birthday fic! (w007!) Very sweet, and a great job at slipping into Doumeki's perspective, which is really hard! Laz normally writes Naruto fics, so this was extra-special. XD

The Arrow by Suppi-chan [Gen? One-sided Doumeki/Watanuki?]
Short, solid, an excellent, darkish look into Doumeki's mind. It's holic-dark, not OMGDIE-dark. Enjoyable.

Cake by Shirasakura [Doumeki/Watanuki]
This is one of those by-time pieces (At X o'clock, at Y o'clock, etc.) but it does a great job of playing with Doumeki's character and really pulling out the little things that make his affection for Watanuki so good. It's sweet, funny and straight-forward.

July by Evherie [Doumeki/Watanuki]
Let me point out that for HOLiC, I rarely rec anything graphic. I mean, violence, sure, ghosts, duh, but sex? Not likely. Except here. And it's not something I thought I would rec, but...it's really, reallllly good. And graphic. But good.

Eat Your Heart Out by Rageprufrock [Doumeki/Watanuki]
I... this is really weird for me. I love Pru for all sorts of tv fandoms, like House and SGA, and now all of a sudden she's really into anime just as I am totally getting out of it. So it's really weird for me! But I mean, she's a -wicked- author and you will love this story in particular for a million reasons. It made me so hungry.



Gen, Misc, Etc.
Untitled by stormantia [gen]

Very cute, just slightly dark, very Watanuki. It focuses on the pipe-fox spirit. ^^ Lovely, short and sweet-- not in the usual way.

Terms of Agreement by Lifeisame [gen]
Just short, simple, kind of dark... references to the first volume. It's neat. I had a really good, strong feeling at the end of it.

Drabble 5 by Lazulisong [Gen? Slight Doumeki/Watanuki maybe]
Bit of a cross-over with TRC (which doesn't even count, really), and just a funny short drabble. Very nice dialogue. ^^

Tea & Sympathy by Sexybee [Gen, Cross-over with CCS.]
Short, smooth, ties a few things together for Touya and leaves some things hanging for Watanuki. It makes some nice points in a subtle way and manages to work quite a few things in together neatly without leaving strings.

Four Lives Himawari Might Lead (and one she probably doesn't) by Wingdance [Gen]
Oh, oh, this is so evil. Unrepentantly, fully evil. I mean, there's scary stuff and sad stuff and strong stuff and even something delightfully normal. The fact that I think the "normal" one is the "probably doesn't" just makes it better. XD
