xxxHolic fic recs on Manga Bookshelf forum

No time for a lengthy post today, as I've been working hard on my Yuletide fic. So I just thought I'd share a list of xxxHolic fic recs posted on the new Manga Bookshelf forum. xxxHolic was a favorite title, but I was rather disappointed with the way that the series ended (which is fodder for another post), so I look forward to checking out some fanfic to take away the disappointment.

On the list is an old favorite, Balance by orpheneritus, that I read years ago when it was first posted. It's really a beautiful story--angsty at times, as Melinda says in her rec, but also balanced by moments of typical xxxHolic humor. And I just love the use of given names to show intimacy (something that I also like to play with in my Haru 'verse).
