Title: Tabula Rasa
Author: Lisa
Genre: Evil
Spoilers: MASSIVE--the salient points of Tokyo Babylon and right up until the most recent installment of X (id est, the October, November and December chapters which appeared in ASUKA Magazine).
Notice: Shounen-ai; mind-bending weirdness; graphic violence; language; angst; CLAMP
Teaser: An emotionally empty Subaru, having inherited the duties of the Sakurazukamori, joins the Dragons of Earth--and Fuuma decides to grant his new Angel a wish...
Be advised, this is the only fanfic in which I have ever used or will ever use Japanese terms--and the only ones I'm using are the ones important to the X/Tokyo Babylon universe and which are just too murky to be properly translated, like Sakurazukamori, onmyoujitsu, or shikigami. They will all be italicized.
(Most good X or TB sites have good explanations of what these terms mean, and, well, I trust whoever reads these is already familiar enough with the series to know what I'm talking about. ^_^)
I used the Japanese honourifics "-san" and "-kun" in the characters' conversations or inner monologue simply because it fits (somehow I just can't picture Subaru calling Fuuma "Mr. Monou").

part one ETA: mid-December
A gigantic, heartfelt thank you to K-Tan and Lins, who are guiding me through this one step at a time; to Kristina, who knows everything about X; and to the Apapazukamori, who deserves as much good Subaru-gots-an-ouchie-fic as she can get. ^_^
