The one thing about CLAMP that I realised is that it broadened my horizons on relationships. Falling in love now has a deeper meaning as nothing is as it seems...
I also discovered E+T through fanfiction and I was really caught by surprise as I had never expected such coupling. In fact (I have to admit this) I took it as a rude shock. I didn't see CLAMP making this official. I kinda knew about everyone else but this... so I took it pretty hard.
But after a few more fanfiction, I kinda warmed up to this coupling. It's not that bad...
And now with TRC, and the appearance of Kurogane, things could get very interesting... especially in terms of fanfiction.
