ClowYue

ClowYue is the slash ship between Clow Reed and Yue from the Cardcaptor Sakura fandom.

Canon
Yue was in quite a strong and close relationship with Clow Reed, his creator. It is implied that Yue's feelings for Clow were deeper than simply master and servant. It is also suggested that the loss of Clow Reed is what caused Yue to become cold to those around him for fear of losing someone else he loves. Clow Reed had expected Yue to fall in love with Sakura and vice versa however he soon sees that he was wrong in his assumption as Sakura loves Syaoran Li. And Yue himself says that the only person who can be his master is Clow.

Sakura, who is a very perceptive child (she even realized the love Yukito had for her brother), recognizes Yue's love for Clow and tells him that she's sure that he truly loved Clow. So she apologizes to him for being a young inexperienced master, promising that she will try her best regardless. In episode 58, once Yue is at Sakura's home, she once agains recognizes Yue's love for Clow. She affirms "you really do love Mr. Clow, don't you?". Clow asks her why does she think that, and Sakura replies that she sees that she has noticed that when Yue talks about Mr. Clow, he has a serene expression on his face. And also, much to Yue's shock, Sakura tells him that she thought Yue had similar feelings for Clow that his dad has for her mother, because her dad told her that even if he reincarnated, he'd probably fall in love with her mom again. Sakura tells him that Yue looked just like her dad when he told her that, when he was talking about Clow.

Fanon
ClowYue is a rare ship within the Cardcaptor Sakura fandom. It is overshadowed by Yue's most popular ship, TouYue, and by more popular ships from the fandom, like TouYuki. The few fans the ship has are very dedicated, making edits, fanart and posts of all kinds for the ship. And they usually comment on how underrated this ship is, considering Yue's canonical feelings for Clow. As of currently, the ship has 45+ works in AO3.
