Why am I doing this? I have not the slightest clue. But it promises to be a fun ride, so why not?

These are my responses to the Tsukimine Shrine's '52 Pick Up' challenge.

The goal is to write a fic based off of each of the 52 Clow Cards. The card isn't actually involved in the fic, such as 'Wave' could refer to any kind of wave. There are basically no restrictions, and no time limit.

I'm just doing it for the heck of it, and to get my creativity flowing.

I don't own CCS, and that applies to all things posted under this story's title (because I don't want to go through saying that every time I write one.

That said, I shall start in alphabetical order.

Arrow

Clow Reed reclined back into the plush chair, eyeing his creations with curiosity and fascination, as always. These two, though given life by him, never ceased to amaze the great magician. He imagined that this was how a parent must feel watching their children age.

"You have your pick," he said quietly. With his level of magic, guardians with weapons were hardly needed, but in the future means of defense would come in handy. Best to prepare them now.

Keroberos snorted in contempt. "And how would I carry this weapon?"

Clow nodded. Of course, despite the wide array of weapons layed out before them, only Yue would be able to wield one successfully. "It would prove rather difficult, wouldn't it? Very well, since you hold the power of the sun, perhaps something fire-oriented?"

The large feline perked up immediately, nodding enthusiastically. "Yeah! I wanna breathe fire, like a dragon or something!" He puffed out his chest and tried to look impressive.

The enigmatic sorcerer hid an amused smile. "Very well. Fire-breathing it is." He paused, looking past Keroberos to observe Yue.

The Guardian of the Moon was looking at the possibilities laid out before him, carefully considering all options before choosing his own weapon. Clow enjoyed watching him weigh the pros and cons of each weapon, until finally Yue picked up a bow and arrow.

"This will do," he said simply.

"Very well," Clow agreed. "But since Keroberos has fire powers, perhaps I shall give you ice." He waved a hand at the bow, and it turned into ice, as did the arrow.

Yue failed to look horribly impressed, but he did nod in approval.
