Warning: T rating for boy love and mention of mature themes.

Note: I’m really sorry to everyone! I wanted to lump the first 4 chapters into one but I decided to leave it alone. I also edited it a little. FYI, I will use quotation marks for conversations, but for now, since it's like a prologue, I refrain. So more crack, less meat! Enjoy!

I: Once upon a time in Holic

Once upon a time, in the beautiful, prosperous and magical kingdom of Holic, there lived a wise and friendly but very mischievous king, Clow, and his equally wise in a more frightening manner, slightly insane, alcoholic, opium-high queen, Yuuko.

They were often bickering and arguing over the smallest things, but they loved each other very much, even if Yuuko tried to … that one time and Clow decided to … as revenge. Although they didn’t look like it, they had each other’s best interests at heart, and if they decided to exploit each other’s weaknesses and take advantage of the situation while they were at it, then who was to argue?

As much as they loved each other, they also loved Holic. So they were very upset when they could not conceive a child. They had plenty of servants, friends, travelers and customers to care for, so there was always company and chaos, but what they really wanted was a family.

The people of Holic loved their rulers and everyone in the kingdom knew the pair wanted children and many offered to conceive, bear and give birth for them. Yet the king and queen declined.

It’s much more fun and involves much more sex when we’re trying for ourselves, said the queen.

I want a successor, one with special abilities and magic like us, to continue ruling over Holic, keeping her prosperous, when we are gone, said the king.

What do you mean gone? screeched the queen, and off they went into another argument, in the middle of their proclamation.

Though the king and queen were powerful, they could not see into their futures, because of a curse an evil fairy had placed upon them. So they were very worried indeed.
