Warnings, Spoilers, and Summary:
36° as a whole is rated R for violence, occultism, sexual connotations, alternative lifestyles, a vocal tree, and geometry (just to be safe). Single chapters may be less restricted.
36° as a whole is pre-TB, post-CCD, and post-X-18. No, it is not a time warp fic. I don't retell scenes but I do refer to events in both series and I may quote the occasional tag line.
After X-16 the Sumeragi is about to become the Sakurazukamori - with rather dubious qualifications for the position. There are certain... details in Clamp's art – esp. in their drawings of the fight at Rainbow Bridge, Subaru's meeting with 'Kamui', and the layout of Clamp Campus – that just made me wonder...

Special thanks to Solo, my beta, who showed great patience and enthusiasm. The presentation of this story in its current state would not have been possible without her!
Story Codes and explicit Spoilers:
drama, Sei/Su, (Tree/Sei), Minor(15), Lime, Lime Tree (not 'Citrus aurantifolia' or 'Tilia'!)
Tokyo Babylon: vol. 2, vol. 11, Annex Start – X: 8, 16, 18; 19 (Asuka part 1-5)
Even the most extensive listing of story codes I've come across so far (AFF.net) doesn't list anything regarding "sex with plants", hence the "lime tree" warning. I think I should start worrying about my imagination here (or at least about my reputation). No, there is no "lemon tree" in this story!
about Notation :
Pentacle, pentagram. I use both words in the strict sense in which the pentacle is a one-line five-pointed star with one tip up and the pentagram is a one-line five-pointed star with two tips up. The pentacle and the pentagram are inversions of each other. Hence, the symbol of the Sumeragi is the pentacle, the symbol of the Sakurazukamori is the pentagram.
