Summary
Humans are persistence hunters. They’re designed to stalk their prey until it collapses. Until it succumbs to its mortality, relinquishing its salted blood and tender flesh to creatures of superior endurance.
Hisoka has been the hunter. Has crept along behind his target until they couldn’t take it anymore. Has seen the look in another man’s eyes when he realized his own will to live wasn’t stronger than Hisoka’s desire. How terrific and new to be the prey! How exciting! An almost seasick feeling, the dread of capture mixing with his longing to face his predator and making him queasy.
He doesn’t hear the pin until it whizzes past his ear and lodges into the wall.
“Oops,” says Illumi, “bad aim.”
—
On The Black Whale, Hisoka is hoping for a little attention, and Illumi wants to have a honeymoon.

Summary
“In my experience, when someone won’t answer your texts, they don’t want to see you,” Zepile says in a sympathetic, self-satisfied voice that means “you’ll understand when you’re older.” Which is ridiculous because thirty is not so far from twenty-one, and Zepile doesn’t understand anything about Kurapika.
Irritation scrambles up Leorio’s throat on wooly legs. He glugs down his beer in an attempt to drown it. The beer is lukewarm and watery, but he can’t complain. It’s on a two-for-one special.
“Yeah, well, I don’t give a shit what Kurapika wants,” Leorio says. It comes out louder than he meant, and the bartender glances over at them with a raised eyebrow. Leorio’s face is warm in the faux-sunburn way it gets when he’s toeing the line between sober and tipsy. His tongue feels heavy in his mouth. “If he’s ghosting me, he’ll have to tell me so to my face.”
----
A fic in which Leorio goes looking for Kurapika.

Summary
Illumi Zoldyck is one of the best assassins in the world. Hisoka Morow is a confidence man whose charm knows no equal. With such complementary skills, it’s only natural that they’ve collaborated on hit jobs for years. Only natural that they became friends. Only natural that they ended up in bed together more than a few times.
Their latest contract, a request to kill elusive tech CEO Chrollo Lucilfer, will stretch the limits of both their professional and personal relationships. They’ll do whatever it takes to finish the job. But when Hisoka’s strategy to win Chrollo’s trust crosses the line, Illumi finds himself overwhelmed with jealousy. Will he be able to put his feelings aside and focus on the job at hand?
—
This is an AU without nen where Hisoka is a con artist, Illumi is an assassin, Kurapika is their client, and Chrollo is their mark. When everyone has something to gain and so much to lose, who can you trust?

Summary
“I was thinking about the last time I saw you.” Kurapika grabs Hisoka’s wrist to hold his hand in place and grinds down with full force. He swallows a moan. “And how you’re a better kisser than you look.”
Leorio’s breath hitches. “Are you drunk or something?”
“No, I’m…” Hisoka holds a finger to his lips and winks. Kurapika closes his eyes. “I’m in bed.”
Leorio doesn’t say anything for a long moment. The phone screen is still lit up, the call time ticking higher second by reliable second. Kurapika holds his breath and waits.
Finally, Leorio says, voice strained, “Kurapika… are you…”
“Yes,” Kurapika says. “Should I hang up?”
__A fic in which Kurapika needs help from Hisoka and Leorio to handle a lust-based nen curse.

Summary
“I didn’t know you were coming,” Illumi says, his voice airy and bland like the one flight attendants use when they’re welcoming passengers onto a plane.
Hisoka considers rising to meet him, pressing their bodies together, and greeting him with a slick, sloppy kiss. Wonders if it might pull a reaction out of the butlers, if they might look away in disgust or watch with too much interest. But Illumi’s aura is denser than usual, almost suffocating in the enclosed space. Waves of purple swirling around his body, forming clots. So he says, “I hope I’m not interrupting anything.”
“You are, but it’s only mildly inconvenient.” Illumi stops near the coffee table and peers down at the tea tray. He frowns, which is to say his face stays exactly the same but there are notes of frustration and annoyance in his tone when he says, “Oh, they’ve forgotten the ladyfingers.”
___A fic in which Hisoka visits Illumi at home after the events of the Election Arc. Illumi is still processing his emotions after losing Killua and Alluka. Hisoka does his best to rile up Illumi’s bloodlust to get the violent, passionate reward owed to him after doing Illumi a favor.

Summary
If being horny were a crime, you would’ve been thrown into the slammer eons ago. You’re trapped in the middle of the ocean, chock full of teenage hormones, wired enough to supply a server room, and in a wild, rapturous love that you tell yourself is simply a brief, passing sexual interest.
It is neither brief nor passing.

Summary
“No, I get it,” says Terezi amiably. “You want to get the band back together and then you want the band to play a song of forgiveness for you, with a bass line of love and a piccolo solo of tenderness and then the tiniest violin in the world will play a song of complete, utter pity for your-”

Summary
He heads up to the roof, already chewing on his awful fucking fish, and you know he is going to spend the night bleakly glaring at the stars and smoking thin black overpriced cigarettes and listening to insipid love songs loud enough to get the police called on you.
