Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle/Fanfic Recs

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Fan Fics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found here.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business. You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Conversation in the Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.

Authors and Websites

zeeofgreeneyes

  • Recommended by tsubasafan
  • Mostly known for their Fairytale AU's, it will be hard to find a fic you won't like. Features mostly Kuro/Fai, but there are several with rare pairings such as Kuroparents and Watanuki/Kohane.

uakari120

  • Recommended by tsubasafan
  • Relatively new to the fandom, uakari120 produces great fic after great fic with in depth worlds, massive-crossovers (as it is CLAMP), and wonderful characterization. Mostly Kuro Fai, but there are many other pairings as well.

General

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

Tsubasa Crossover Chronicle by The Violent Tomboy* Recommended by bunnypie

  • Synopsis: Crazy (and sometimes stupid) things inevitably happen when worlds collide. A collection of crossover one shots featuring the gang in funny situations as they travel through many familiar (and unfamiliar) series. Plenty of crack ensues.


Shipping Fics

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

Hail Valley by collettewillows

  • Recommended by Huilisti
  • Pairing(s): Kurogane/Fai (What a surprise...), slight Syaoran/Sakura (but they're only minor characters)
  • Synopsis: An AU-fic with Fai's first person POV. "There's something a little too eerie about Hail Valley. With the unlikely alliance of a certain red eyed neighbor, Fai attempts to understand what makes this new town so unnerving, but stumbles upon answers much more frightening than he bargained for.."

Collista Lake by collettewillows

  • Recommended by Huilisti
  • Pairing(s): Kurogane/Fai, Syaoran/Sakura
  • Synopsis: A direct continuation for Hail Valley. "Fai decides it's time for some new scenery. Along Sakura, Syaoran, and new housemate Kurogane, they leave Hail Valley for a long camping weekend. Little do they know that tormenting spirits and evil ghosts are ready and waiting for them at Collista Lake..."

Ever After by Shadow over Egypt (AU)

  • Recommended by Zashiki-Warashi
  • Pairing(s): Mainly Kurogane/Fai
  • Synopsis: Fairytale is a very trying place. Children get abandoned; loves fall under evil spells, and members of royalty get abducted on a regular basis. Still, if it's 'Happy Ever After' you're looking for, it's obligatory to start with 'Once Upon a Time...'

Reasons to Drink by ParadiseAvenger

  • Recommended by Huilisti
  • Pairing(s): Syaoran/Sakura (yay!)
  • Synopsis: Short looks at the times when Syaoran and Sakura got drunk and what happened then. (Gah, I suck at these synopsises. Too tired to think...)

The Wizards of Ceres by Mikkeneko (AU)

  • Recommended by Zashiki-Warashi
  • Pairing(s): Kurogane/Fai
  • Synopsis: Ceres and Nihon are on the brink of war, and Kurogane and Fai must struggle to balance their loyalties to their home countries with the pressing demands of survival - for themselves, their countries, and for their world.


Stray by Irene_Gerke (AU)

  • Recommended by tsubasafan
  • Pairing(s): Kurogane/Fai, Syaoran/Sakura, and many others,
  • Synopsis: As a child Fai is sent away from the cruel life he has had to endure only to wind up a stray in the Tokyo ward, Otthon. Years later, he finds a comrade in Kurogane and the people of the wards as war looms on the horizon.


Never Let Me Go by UnexpectedInspiration (AU)

  • Recommended by tsubasafan
  • Pairing(s): (hinted/eventual)Kurogane/Fai, (hinted)Syaoran/Sakura, few others
  • Synopsis: The events that lead to the beginning of Tsubasa is stopped. Fai and several other children from the multiverse's are sent to another world in order to live in an orphange with Ashura. Kurogane, however, is sent to live with Sonomi (CCS). Shows Kurogane, Fai, and Syaraon growing up in this new world together.


Freefall by UnexpectedInspiration (AU)

  • Recommended by cloverfield
  • Pairing(s): Kurogane/Fai, Syaoran/Sakura, Doumeki/Watanuki, quite a few others
  • Synopsis: Real-world AU massive crossover fic, focusing mainly on the plot and characters from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles and xxxHOLiC, but featuring a fair few other characters and CLAMP references. As the author has stated, "It's AU because it's set in modern-day America. No magic. No monsters. No vampires. No destiny. No time travel. Just a group of people struggling to survive the hand they've been dealt—together." Tropes page here.


Lost in Translation by Sunlight through Leaves

  • Recommended by cloverfield
  • Pairing: Kurogane/Fai
  • Synopsis: Post-series fic focusing on the relationship between Fai and Kurogane when an error in translation -and an assumption they're married- sparks a chain of events in a world based on the steam-punk genre. Inspired in part by this piece of fanart. Tropes page here.
