MOM HOLY FUCK THEY REALLY ARE SAYING IT
EXCUSE ME
EXCUSE ME
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT IS THIS THE GREATEST THING 
LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS
Clamp absolutely set the precedent for this with our visit to Shura/Shara all those years ago. We’ve SEEN the possibility of being in the past and future of the same world and teleporting between the two. We knew the feathers could appear pretty much anywhere in the timeline of a world, given how time works differently across the mutliverse, and we DID just straight up go backwards and forwards in time via Mokona, so it’s absolutely possible for them to appear in the Past of the Kingdom of Clow. 
WHICH IS APPARENTLY ACID TOKYO????
WHICH JUST ABSOLUTELY BLOWS MY MIND WHAT THE FUCK
WHAT A WAY TO TIE IT ALL TOGETHER??
X/1999 IS THE SET UP TO THE CLOW KINGDOM?
THE CLOW KINGDOM IS IN THE RUINED ECOLOGICAL DISASTER OF OUR OWN CURRENT WORLD??? 
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle as a pseudo-not-really-but-kind-of-sequel-event to Cardcaptor Sakura but ACTUALLY ALSO being the sequel-kind-of-but-not-exactly sequel to X/1999???? Or Alternate Timeline X/1999? Where things are ever so slightly different but the world was ruined in the same way?
AND THE RESERVOIR
THE RESERVOIR IN ACID TOKYO IS THE RESERVOIR IN THE CLOW RUINS????
I’m REELING OVER THIS
THEY SET THAT UP
SAKURA WALKED THROUGH THE DESERT TO PURIFY THE WATER TO SAVE THESE PEOPLE AND IT MADE THE RESERVOIR THAT LOVED SAKURA SO MUCH THAT IT PROTECTS HER
AND WATANUKI! WATANUKI WAS AN ESSENTIAL PIECE OF SETTING UP THE RESERVOIR IN A WORLD BEFORE HE EVEN EXISTED IN THAT TIMELINE
And that’s Definitely the feather they’re talking about, isn’t it? The feather that Sakura left in Acid Tokyo is still in the Reservoir right now, and is the reason the water is magic and loves her so much - because it’s a piece of her, and -... well, a piece of her clone. But it’s a piece of SAKURA, and so they resemble and resonate with each other, and that's why the water is so close to her, but 'Sakura' can’t absorb the feather because she’s already a full person and those aren’t her memories, but the memories of her clone.
Meanwhile Sakura (ie, our cloned Sakura) is currently on the other side of the portal at a point in time that DIDN’T exist a few seconds ago, for Original 'Sakura', but the rest of the universe has moved on and decades have passed (even though no time at all has passed for her) and now the feather from her clone has ended up in the past that set up the reservoir potentially centuries before she was even born. 
Timeline!
Oh my god?
Oh my god. 
I’m going to be thinking about this forever. 
No wait I’m not done ACID TOKYO WAS like THE point in the narrative where everything changed forever. And from a Tsubasa point of view it felt like a world picked at random for all the Important Narrative changes to take place - but it never was! It was the most important world of all! It was the Clow Kingdom!
So Syaoran lived his life in the Clow Kingdom, and then his soul collapsed in Acid Tokyo, which was ALSO the Clow Kingdom, and then he went and died defending Lava Lamp, in the Clow Kingdom. All at completely different points in the timeline but all in the exact same world. 
Though I will say I am thoroughly baffled by the connection between the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and THE CLOW RUINS???
ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE THE SAME BUILDING?
Oh my god they’re in the same location aren’t they. The reservoir was underneath it and now it’s under the ruins. I suppose they have Magic so they could probably reshape them however they want but WHAT A CON CLAMP HAVE PULLED ON US
TO SPEND THE ENTIRE MANGA STARING AT THE WINGS OF THE CLOW RUINS AND THEY WERE SECRETLY WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO TELL US THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE TOKYO METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT BUILDING ALL ALONG
THE AUDACITY OF IT ALL

I happily present to you the drawing I did for @fieldofclover's wonderful fic "Wear It Now Like A Mantle"! Please be sure to give it a read! Or, maybe you might even want to be a proud owner of a printed version of this amongst many other enthralling Kurofai fics by @fieldofclover, accompanied by artwork like in this case? If so, jump over here to this post to fill out a survey, which would be a great help to determine how big the interest in the printed copies would be.
And of course, thanks again for commisioning me for this piece <33 It's been a pleasure drawing these two lovebirds again (and in Kimono's too!), and for such a cool project, too! I'm also looking forward to all the other artwork and reading the other fics as well! (I love her fics very much, please have a look at them if you like Kurofai)

OH. 
WELL THEN!
We pick back up again confronting the (sadly, still living) Evil Wolverine in his lair, over the dead body of Kyle Rondart lying on the ground before them. 
AND HE FADES AWAY. AS EVIL WOLVERINE OUTS HIM AS A MANMADE OBJECT. 
Whatever that means. A clone? Or something different? It’s kind of the same concept either way I suppose - Kyle was made by Evil Wolverine, just like the rest of the soldiers and all the other clones in the cast. 
And just. Kyle not being respected as a living being even as he dies for the person who made him?
I can’t believe I’m mad on Kyle’s behalf??
I can’t believe CLAMP keep doing this to me???
Also… something about the way Kyle fades away like this, just like the Clow Cards do in Cardcaptor Sakura. And what that might say about them and how they were made. 
And what that opens as a potential crossover between the methods of Clow Reed and Fei Wang, using their magic to create entire life forms to do their bidding. Clow making magical beings who live sealed in cards, and Evil Wolverine creating entire human beings who live out specific tasks to fulfill his plans. 
There’s a lot I want to unpack in that but I’ll wait until I know as much as I can first. Put a pin in that thought. I'll come back to it eventually.

And now he’s gone and confused me all over again. He calls Sakura “the real thing” but isn’t she also a clone? 
Is there some difference in the “realness” of the clones, as compared to “man made objects” ? Does he mean that she's one of the few PERFECT clones that keep their entire magical capacity and look like the original? Because even then I wouldn't call that "the real thing" but maybe that was a murky wording choice?
Gosh. Evil Wolverine really will just take every single opportunity to say something completely worthless.
