Fic post from my archive.

Bitter and Salt

Touya finds out a few things about what Yue likes, despite Yue's complete cluelessness. Drama with Pre-Romance, I-3

Touya snorted. Yue was stuck with the family, now; he might as well get used to it.

SO sweet - I love the idea of this, and your use of Syaoran is clever. I like the whole concept of this tastes thing... though personally, I think Yue probably doesn't eat because he does a Suppi when given sweets. Since he and Suppi are comparable personalities. ^_^

*claps her hands* Oh. Oh, Touya might be the sweetest thing in the history of sweet things. *dotes on him mightily*

I agree with the previous comments... I love your attention to detail with the story... Toya and Yukito's relationship didn't receive alot of attention in either the anime or manga for obvious reasons so it's cool to read fanfiction about the pair...
I also loved the connection (re:food preferences/chinese medicine) between Clow to Yue to the Brat and back to Toya...
This way the story doesn't end...

thank you for sharing

Touya hated it when That Boy was helpful; it made it a lot harder to stay properly mad at him for stealing Sakura.

I loved this little bit. Very sweet.

This is good, very interesting... a lot of people try to avoid the Yukito-is-also-Yue thing, and I'm glad you're addressing it. ^^

Can't wait to read more!

Two days later a package of books on Chinese medicine and health arrived, full of charts, and lists, and diagrams of elements and tastes and heat versus cold. Touya hated it when That Boy was helpful; it made it a lot harder to stay properly mad at him for stealing Sakura.
That was so adorable.

In fact, all of these fics are.

Oh the shininess. ::astounded by the shiny::

So why doesn't Yue eat? Is it because he doesn't like the things that Kero usually pigs out on? ::very interested::

I especially like November, with everyone briefly in shock wondering if Yue's going to drink his coffe or not. Amusing indeed, especially with Touya giving them the "DRINK YOUR TEA NOW OR DIE" look.

Very much adoration for Touya poking at Yue, oh yes indeed.

Thank you so much for sharing this sweet treat! I love the Touya point of view and the way that you incorporate the whole motley crew while still giving the focus to the Touya-Yue-Yukito dynamic. I also like the way that this fic is so subtle about their relationship. Touya and Yuki don't seem to be the types of people to have a flashy romance - what a mental picture that is... Anyways, their relationship is gentle and caring and you display that wonderfully. And you include Yue! So creative and thoughtful. It really was a joy to read :).

Thanks again and take care!

Aw, it's cute that Touya cares about Yue too (Thought weirdly I'm not so fond of T/Yue as much as I am of T/Yuki) and how he makes him eat and drink without taking 'no' for an answer; he knows exactly what to say or do :D

Also Syaoran is to observational at time for his own good XD
