I'm starting to lose track of what I have and haven't posted to LJ. Sigh.
I thought I'd posted this long ago, since chronologically it's set mid-series and I posted all the other in-series works first. But I must have put it off because it was in-progress (the same reason I still haven't posted any of Heralds, and why I waited on Family Portrait until I was able to post the final chapter.)
So here we go: The Missing Worlds.
This was a fic that I first started plotting out very early in my time in the fandom, but actually writing it has been a very slow endeavor, since other projects kept getting in the way. I was surprised, when reading through fics in the fandom, at how few stories actually have the characters meet alternate versions of themselves in the worlds they travel through. There are a few, but I would have expected more, and most of them use the alter-selves as a plot device rather than exploring them in depth. So I wanted to write a story that plays with the idea of how the characters might have turned out in alternate dimensions, and how the others in the party would react upon meeting them (without the usual meeting-myself awkwardness getting in the way!)

Title: The Missing Worlds - Prologue
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: This story is set in the uncertain period after Piffle World, but before Recourt; in other words, in the same never-neverland that the second season of the anime mostly took place in. This means that Fai has not yet learned to whistle, Syaoran is still the original Syaoran, and nobody knows anything about Kurogane's childhood.
Summary: While searching for Sakura's feathers, the travelers face a dilemma: in order to move on to the next world, they will have to leave one of their companions behind. What will they find in the new worlds now open to them, and what will happen to the one who stays behind and waits…?
Pairing: Although this fic has both Syaoran/Sakura and Kurogane/Fai (in later chapters,) it is not intended to be a pairing-centric fic; although the relationships are part of the story, they are not the main focus of it.
