Prompt: [info]31_days: 9 Oct 09 // wandering birds pass through the village
Pairing: Watanuki and Yuuko gen; Clow/Yuuko implied
Other: This is a fantasy-type AU in which Clow is the king of some not-Clow country, and Yuuko is a traveling shopkeeper with her irritable assistant Watanuki. Also featuring Doumeki the stone-faced knight. Fic dedicated to [info]chibidl because this is her AU I'm playing in. Title from a poem by Richard Crashaw.

Excerpt: For a wagon that looked as old and as odd as it was, it traveled very smoothly, and for the first few days as Watanuki recovered, he felt as though he were on the sea, rocking back and forth.
