My Three Favorite Stories (in no particular order)
IceBreakers by Meghan Kelly
Genre:Humor
Summary:A hilarious account of Syaoran and Touya shopping for Sakura's X-mas present. Together. With Eriol as 'chaperone.' Oh Dear Lord. XD
Reason: Laugh out Loud CCS Humor. Eriol mischievousnes galore.
Truth by Khaas
Genre:General
Summary:One-shot. Sakura reflects on how it ended.
Reason:Beautiful story. Beautiful writing style. First and only author who could get me to read EriolXSakura.
The Language of Flowers by Meghan Kelly
Genre:General/Romance
Summary:One-shot. Fujitaka reflects.
Reason:Beautiful. Succinct. And extremely touching. A rare find indeed.

Some of the lines in IceBreakers are hysterical. I remember reading that fanfic a long time ago. Only thing, is typo-ridden D: And the only other thing is that I'm anti-E/T. Shucks.

XD *makes exceptions for amusing writing*

[suppis_tenshi]

Yeah, I'm hoping that these have been revised, since this is her new site and all, but I haven't actually sat down to read it again. Just trying to remember old fics I loved from the depths ofmy mind. ^^; Man, it's hard, it's just been that long. XD

Hooray for hilarity!

~^_^~

journal surfing, sorry XD;, this is Meg the writer of Icebreakers

[lazulisong]

1. I cannot believe people are still reading that thing
2. I know, it sucks, I think I updated the ffnet version a while back but I can't hardly look at it without hitting myself repeatedly over the head. Someday I will go through it again.
3. I SERIOUSLY CANNOT BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE STILL READING THAT THING XDDDDD;;;

My Three Favorite Stories (in no particular order)
Diamond Sky by YunCyn
Genre: romance/humor
Summary: Five years have passed by and everyone's grown up. Some, a little lonelier than others.
Reason: It's a very believable E&T get-together fic with great imagery and writing.

Icebreakers by Suppi-chan
Genre: humor/romance
Summary: Breaking ice, breaking patterns, learning new ways and new loves. Eriol and Tomoyo fall in love reluctantly.
Reason: Another beautiful E&T fic. Probably my most favorite. Very believable, again, very in character.

Monogatari by s' old fic
Genre: Romance/General
Summary: A collection of anime drabble (short one shot fics). CCS, FB, SK, IY, ST, etc.
Reason: The best drabbles I've ever read. No kidding! 21 drabbles about various characters.

[sheila_chan]

I think I've read Diamond Sky a couple of years ago. I didn't get to finish it. I honestly don't know/remember why. I think something threw me off - either that or I mistook it for another fic.

I think I'll go over it again.:)

s'old fic's a favorite of mine too. She's the very reason why I actually got hooked to CCS fanfiction. Have you read Akogare?

[dropsofviolet]

I've read everything she wrote, found her webpage, and read all of that (CCS that is) too. ^.^ That was one great afternoon. ^_^

[claire_chan]

I'm in the middle of Diamond Sky right now and I agree it is an enjoyable fanfic. ^_^

And-I'm-not-an-ET-shipper. *cough*

[dropsofviolet]

Um, my Icebreakers and suppis_tenshi's Icebreakers are the same fic. Didn't read the previous comment......... so I'll post another one. ^^

I Will Bury You in Time by ladystargazer
Genre: romance/angst
Summary: She loves him. He loves her not. [Oneshot] Choices are not always as clear-cut as they first seem.
Reason: The best Nakuru characterization ever. Seriously. She feels so real. This fic made me want to cry, honestly...

[sheila_chan]

I read it too when I was blog-hopping. I don't remember if I get to leave a comment. It was probably the longest oneshot I've ever read, but it's not everyday one gets to read a good fic with Nakuru as main character.:)

My Three Favorite Stories (in no particular order)
Moon's Dance and Shadow by TamChronin
Genre:Supernatural/Romance
Summary:Mizuki Kaho leaves Tomoeda for England, leaving one forbidden love for another. There is no coincidence, only the inevitable.
Reason:The author's writing style is superb, and it's not your usual ExK story, but it rocks none the less ^_^

Fighting for Love by Yakumo
Genre:Romance/ActionAdventure
Summary:Sakura and Syaoran are getting married but it won't be so easy. The pool party invitations are being passed around. What are the Twin cousins of Xiaolang planning to do?
Reason: It was the first story, other than my own, the hinted FxK. They writing style and structure is...weird, but once you get passed that, there's a good story behind it. Unfortunately the story has been abandoned, but what's there is good enough

[sheila_chan]

I'm currently at an internet cafe at the university. I promise to check these stories as soon as I got home:)
Though I'm more of an ExT fangirl, ExK attracts me too^_^

I actually logged in to FF.N to find these D:

My Three Favorite Stories (in no particular order)
The Science of Torturing Syaoran by SyaoranSword
Genre: Humour
Summary: Eriol and Tomoyo don lab coats to find out what exactly makes Syaoran squirm.
Reason: Funny and classic. Some things squick me (like S&S and E&T XD) but it amuses me every time. Warning to the wise: Slight ecchi leanings.
How We Got Back To Tomoeda by Chash
Genre: Humour
Summary: A Nakuru-POV piece about Eriol, Spinel Sun, and her return to Tomoeda.
Reason: I role played Nakuru in an RPG for a number of years and this was such a tribute to her insanely hyper personality that I absolutely adore it. Warning to the wise: Run-onny on purpose due to Nakuru's personality.
Highly Strung by Hally Dang
Genre: Romance
Summary: ExT. This is their beginning. First impressions. Ever meet someone and feel you've known them for all your life?
Reason: Big words and picturesque descriptions are like my crack. XD It's a very artistic and surreal kind of fic. I dislike ExT but this was pretty writing so I forgave it

Re: I actually logged in to FF.N to find these D:

[sheila_chan]

Highly Strung is a personal favorite of mine too!
It's simply beautiful.
And yes, The Science of Torturing Syaoran is a must-read!
I read How We Got Back To Tomoeda just now, and enjoyed it as well. I was a bit surprised by the ending, but since it's Nakuru, I guess it doesn't matter:)

[claire_chan]

I'm glad you like them too. ^_^

I'm renewing my appreciation for CCS fanfiction today XD
