Summary
"They run. Killua doesn’t know where, but it doesn’t matter. Alluka is calling after them, but it doesn’t matter. His lungs are raw and breathless, his feet are still bare from when he left his shoes by Mito-san’s front door, his knees still hurt from where they had collided with the hard wooden pier not too long ago -
It doesn’t matter. All that matters is Gon’s fingers hot and tight around Killua’s wrist. Gon’s ragged breath, matching Killua’s own. Gon’s shoulders, with mossy mountains and vast seas cradled between them, shifting while he runs and Killua runs after him."
(In which Killua learns how to trust again and Gon learns how to earn it back.)

absolutely gut-wrenching. non-linear works crazy well to set up conflict and resolve without being too regressive for killua’s growth. emotions are conveyed so masterfully… pendulum in his chest, panic as he tries to avoid conflict with gon etc etc… oh em gee I love this fic if only the author could teach me their ways…

Summary
A quest to rescue an all-powerful entity trapped inside a teapot sounds exactly like the summer adventure Gon was waiting for. Killua’s pretty eyes are most certainly an added bonus.

Summary
some nights, when rain did not fall, and the only sound that echoed in their ears was the mechanical rumble of the cars below, they would vomit up their fermented rage with a fury permitted only in solitude. the coolness of the bathroom tile, the small moths that drifted in slamming their little bodies into the single light above over and over. letting the putrid taste remain in their mouth, remembering this feeling, remembering what exactly they were.

Summary
A look at a world in which Mito gets the chance to visit Gon at the hospital.
--
"Mito's throat closes. For a moment she considers what might've happened had Leorio not been there.Would she have known it? Woken up one day with the feeling, the understanding deep in her core that he was gone? Or much more horrifying, how long might she have gone on unknowing? Tending to the garden and smiling to the bar's patrons as her only child decomposed?
Mito rolls down the window. The air in the city is thicker than the breeze on Whale Island."

Summary
Kalluto is somewhere, and Killua’s never gonna know where, because he left, and he gave up on Kalluto, and he was, like, eleven, so can he really blame himself, but he’s eighteen now, and all he can think about is that Kalluto’s still a child somewhere.
And how does Gon look at him and not see a murderer and a coward?
And when he says, ‘I miss my brother,’ the record keeps playing, and the curtains keep waving in the wind, and there’s nothing that changes in the world around him, so it’s like he didn’t say it at all.

trauma and i appreciate the use of swearing to convey that constant paranoia that burns like a rash you have to scratch even if it makes it worse

Summary
Once upon a time, there is a city. It reeks of greed and crime and corruption, but it is home.
(In other words: the time the Spider regained it's legs and spun itself a new home in a city not so different from their last.)
