    Summary

    A drink has fallen to the ground. Gon’s hands are empty, fists loose at his sides. The liquid trickles over his shoes. He doesn’t seem to notice—his eyes are wide, wider than Killua has ever seen them.

    And his voice—fuck, Killua thinks, before the world suddenly restarts again, realization arriving a second too late—his voice is quiet when he asks: “What is Ikalgo talking about?”

    Killua celebrates his birthday on Whale Island. Some things about his and Gon's time in NGL come to light.

    Summary

    Sometimes Kurama wants to taste it. Wants to set his teeth into the meat of Yusuke's flesh and feel that power against his tongue. Wants to test himself against the edge of him and figure out who would come out on top. Disturbingly, he doesn't care about being the winner. He'd like to, of course, prideful as he is, but at the end of the day, he'd gladly end up under Yusuke Urameshi if he earned it. And oh, Kurama knows he would. Anyone who thinks he half asses his way through life has never seen him radiant and defiant when it matters.

    Kurama wants.

    Summary

    Yusuke always prided himself in being able to figure a person out, but the longer he knows Kurama the more he realizes that he still has a lot more to learn. (Bonus: By the time Kurama crossed paths with a certain Spirit Detective, he thought he had learned everything there was to know about human nature. Apparently he was wrong.)

    Just a series of snapshot stories that delve into to constantly evolving relationship between Yusuke and Kurama. Their dynamic always interested me and I wanted more stories that focused on them. This can be read as platonic or more of a pairing, mainly because I have trouble pinning down the exact nature of their relationship myself. Either way, I love it and I hope you will too!

    Summary

    Running in a crowd,
    In a faceless town,
    I need to feel the touch of a friend.
    In the countryside,
    I wander far and wide.
    The isolation gets me again.

    Anger is familiar enough to Yusuke. The way it curls in his gut, boiling over into an unpleasant heat. The way it echoes through his skin, out towards his fingertips, making him itch for a fight. 

    Fighting will at least give him relief from it all. The fury fades away into satisfaction as he feels the skin on his knuckles give way, as another fist hits his face or stomach, giving him something to feel besides the constant prick of his anger, sitting right under the skin. 

    A good fight has always been an escape; it’s only when a fight is something lame or he can’t find one that the anger dogs his every step without an outlet.

    One night, Yusuke, angry and alone, finds his way to Kurama's place.

    Summary

    It’s over. Columbina has been reunited with her Authority, Arlecchino is taking Sandrone home to Fontaine, the Doctor has been defeated (for now) and Wanderer and Durin are bound for Sumeru to rest and deliver the news to Nahida.

    Something… lingers.

    As it turns out, puppets don’t like being separated from their cores. Not even when the fate of the world is on the line.

    Following the war in Nod-Krai—because nothing is ever really over—Wanderer develops a chronic illness.
