Mangas similar to Kaori Yuki or older/darker CLAMP works?

I love CLAMP in general but works like Tokyo Babylon, RG Veda, xxxHolic and Tsubasa, especially the second half have my favourite parts of any of their work (I liked the vibe of X/1999 but the story wasn't for me)

I have also just started reading Kaori Yuki's works such as Angel Sanctuary, Count Cain, Godchild... and im loving it alot! I plan on going through all of her mangas soon

Could you recommend me other shoujo titles by different creators in the same vein as these works?

Not minor antagonists, like the main ones of the story(Zagato, Eriol, Fei Wang, Seishirou, Fuuma, Taishakuten) How do you feel about their actions and about them as characters?

Im gonna be honest I only really care about Seishirou and Eriol, but what about you?

It was only like shown to us once and it's really a blink and you miss it moment but I can't help but to think about how we were shown that Yuuko and Subaru know eachother in the first volume of holic

Looking back on it now i was thinking that she was referring to the vampire twins since she knew them as well however she specifically mentions him being a medium, having a twin sister and talking about his lack of happiness, so it is TB/X Subaru

Both series put alot of focus onto fate and wishes so them having maybe some sort of linked story could work if done right, especially if it involves Subaru considering the very interesting place his story was left on

It could be Shopkeeper Watanuki interacting with Subaru too, it would be interesting considering how they both have essentially went through the same story (Both stories at first focusing on their selflessness, that being challenged by one person, at the end when said person dies they end up taking on their role and in result both of their futures seem to be looking extremely bleak, atleast where they have been left off on currently)

I know this is just me mostly looking too deep into what was basically a nod for fans familiar with older clamp works and since im pretty sure Ohkawa mentioned having an idea about the ending for X years ago but if clamp can put holic rei on hold for years for clear card and then immediately reference clear card like a few chapters into rei once it resumes who can say that something similar couldn't happen with X, especially again when they share many of the same themes

Idk I don't actually think they will crossover aside from that one mention but the idea is kinda cool to me lol
