Their destiny was foreordained… Or not?

Part 1: CLAMP - Part 2: Seishiro - Part 3: Subaru

Back in a far, far past in ancient Greek and Roman time our ancestors assumed there was something called Fate, a supreme entity against which even Gods had to bow their head. No one could change what fate decided and any attempt to go against fate would simply either fail or would become the cause for that particular fate to happen. Later on though, came the idea that fate wasn’t foreordained, that humans are free to chose their destiny and fantascience took it in strides going as far as assuming that, with the proper element X (equipment to go/affect the past or knowledge of the future), you can change either your past (and therefore your present and your future) or just your future (by making different choices in your present).

Now… where does CLAMP stand in this? Which theory is embraced by them? And how does this reflect in their ‘fate centred’ work, ‘X’, and more specifically in Seishiro & Subaru’s story?
