Yowamushi Pedal: Manami x Toudou, short and smutty. // "Manami’s weight is heavy on the backs of Toudou’s thighs and he’s doing his best just to remain composed, when the question of how he’s even gotten to be sprawled underneath his underclassman hasn’t yet left his mind."
Yowamushi Pedal: Makishima and Teshima, gen, short. // "He's never been the one on the podium. But it's always there — that one chance, that one shot amid hundreds, the opportunity to rise above. He hates that he can never rise to the challenge, but he loves it all the same."
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua pre-slash, h/c. Short missing scene set after episode 95 of the 2011 anime; part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. // “Shh,” Gon murmurs. Tenderly, he wraps his arms around Killua’s shoulders, bringing him close enough so that his face aligns with Gon’s throat. “I’m sorry. I’m here. I’m sorry I didn’t know.”
Hunter x Hunter: Gon and Killua, preslash if you squint, set one year after the Chimera Ant arc (with spoilers); part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. The missing apology scene. // 'I don’t know how to avoid you. I don’t know how to hate you. I don’t know how to love you. I don’t know anything when it comes to you.'
Hunter x Hunter: Gon/Killua, futurefic (vague spoilers for the Chimera Ant arc and afterwards); part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. // "While Killua still looks content, still looks happy, Gon does not know if content and happy are enough, does not know how to give Killua more than that. If Killua wants more than that. But he knows that he deserves more. (Gon does not know, however, if he deserves Killua’s forgiveness.)
Hunter x Hunter: pre-slash, set post-episode 70; part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. // “Friends don’t use friends. Or let them get hurt.”
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua, futurefic (with spoilers through the Chairman Election arc), short; part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. Fighting -- kissing. // "You left," no one says.
Hunter x Hunter: Gon/Killua pre-slash, AU with Gon + Killua eating lunch on a school rooftop; part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. // “It’s cold.” Killua whines. His words come out in turns of mist, sifting along the rooftop. “Who even comes up here in the winter?”
Hunter x Hunter: Killua -- Gon, set mid-series on Whale Island; part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. // "Gon doesn’t know how to take a life– he could never even fathom it. Killua hopes that never changes. (It’s too late, a voice says, in Killua’s head, he’s already taken yours.)"
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua pre-slash. AU where Killua grows up with Gon on Whale Island; part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. // 'I’m home,' Killua thinks, or at least he tries to. 'I’m home,' Killua thinks, as he watches Gon stack dishes, as Mito doles out food onto their plates. 'I’m home, I’m home, I’m home.'
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua, futurefic; part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. // “A lot of things are bad for you. Sometimes you just have to take your pick.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” “It means,” Killua says. “Even after everything, I still picked you.”
Hunter x Hunter: Killua/Gon preslash, set three years after the 2011 anime (so, spoilers); part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I'm bookmarking individually. // 'I miss you,' he doesn’t say. 'You’re sitting three feet away from me, but I still miss you.'
Hunter x Hunter: Killua -- Gon, set post-2011 anime. Short and (bitter)sweet; part of a one-shot collection whose chapters I will be bookmarking individually. // "Whale Island is a place that lives in Killua’s memories. A tiny universe, warm and close to his heart. He hasn’t been there for half a lifetime. But sometimes, he still dreams about it, as though it were yesterday."
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua preslash, set after episode 70. // “I said I want you to shock me,” Gon repeats, knowing full well he heard the first time. “Is that weird?”
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua, short and sweet. // "Gon’s touch is warm, an almost-forgotten sort of presence. Like a ghost of something once-lost, something buried deep."
Hunter x Hunter: Gon -- Killua, set post-Chairman Election arc (with spoilers). // "When Gon dreams, now, he dreams in blue— in lightning-constellations and tilted moonscape. Sometimes, the sleep-wind will hum, Ne, Gon, and it sounds almost familiar, almost right. But even in a dream, the breeze is not the boy. It won’t make a face or hold a name."
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua, futurefic (post-anime, spoilers). Another missing apology scene. // "Gon gently strokes his hands until the fists unfurl on their own. Killua almost laughs. Muscle-memory. Four years is a long time for a heart, but nothing at all, for a hand."
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua preslash. This story is like sunlight. "Killua stares and stares and stares at the beating space of skin at Gon’s throat. Beneath that skin is a fresh stream of blood, ever flowing, full of life. Killua has torn throats wide open with his bare hands but this is the first one he’s ever wanted to kiss."
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua, preslash. // "Killua finds himself changing, slowly. He sits closer to Gon, only Gon, and it's sort of nice, letting his guard down long enough for their shoulders to touch. Gon doesn't seem to notice, as used to physical contact as he is, but Killua can feel it more than any torture he's ever gone through; warm body heat through fabric, sometimes skin on skin, and it takes the edge off even when he's tense."
Hunter x Hunter: Knuckle x Shoot, pre-slash, AU. // "Shoot became a masseur to help his clients with what ails them, and it takes one look for him to determine that his latest customer is badly overworked and much in need of his skills. It takes him a bit longer to realize quite how much they have in common, though Knuckle's good intentions are so very hard to overlook."
Hunter x Hunter: Killua x Gon, Alluka. Futurefic; contains spoilers for the end of the Chairman Election arc. This made me very happy. // "In which the boys are broke, have bad luck, and decide, fuck it, we're gonna have ourselves the summer adventure of the decade."
Hunter x Hunter: Killua x Gon, post-Elections Arc pining (with spoilers). // 'i'm forgetting how your laugh sounds like and that scares me a lot,' Killua types, before he catches himself, frowns, jams the backspace button and watches the words unravel in reverse, blink out from blank white space.
Hunter x Hunter: Gon x Killua UST, set after the end of the Chairman Election arc. This was bittersweet and hopeful and lovely and exactly the sort of thing I needed to read after finishing the anime. // "What was important came to him long before he found what he was looking for. Gon returns to Whale Island, and finds everything unchanged except for himself."
Hunter x Hunter: Killua and Alluka + Nanika, gen, with background Killua -- Gon feelings. Spoilers through the end of the Chairman Election arc. "Killua may know the rules about Alluka's power by heart, but he still has a lot to learn about travelling with her."
Hunter x Hunter: Killua and Alluka, Gon/Killua preslash, set after the 2011 anime (so, spoilers). // "After Alluka heals him, for some reason, Gon’s hair remains long. He decides to keep it that way. Meanwhile, Killua learns the merits of using conditioner. For they have both learnt this; that you cannot make someone come to you. You can only wait."
Hunter x Hunter: Gon/Killua, pretend boyfriends pining fic, 62k words, spoilers through the end of the anime, equal parts tropey and satisfying. // "Five years without any contact was a long time. The distance had built new walls on top of old wounds. They were still best friends, maybe, but did they really know each other anymore? In an ideal situation, they'd spend some time alone, maybe go on a few small adventures. Take it slow. Rediscover what drew them to each other in the first place. But Killua had officially decided that the situation was not ideal. In fact, it was so much the opposite that he was going to have an enormous hickey on the inside of his elbow. Because instead of taking things slow, they were pretending to make out in a closet."
Yowamushi Pedal: Arakita x Kinjou x Toudou. "The conversation starts off much the same as Toudou's nightly calls with Arakita always do — with bickering, gossip about Arakita's relationship with Kinjou, and no end of good-natured teasing. Toudou is caught off-guard, when Arakita winds around to asking whether he misses their relationship from high school, but what completely blindsides him is Arakita asking whether Toudou would like to fuck his boyfriend."
