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
The difference between a marshmallow and a video of your close friend masturbating is that a marshmallow can only be eaten once. A video, however, can be enjoyed as many times as you please.
Watching the video becomes Kurapika’s bedtime routine. He grows familiar with it, memorizing timestamps the way you might memorize a neighbor’s face. At 1:03, Leorio takes his dick out. At 3:01, he plays with his nipples. At 4:04, Leorio jostles the camera, revealing his mouth for six seconds before he notices and adjusts the angle.
Kurapika watches those six seconds like he’s studying scripture. Replays them so often it becomes a meditation. Watches for the quirk of a smile when Leorio moves to adjust the camera angle, not embarrassed exactly, but a little shy.
---
A fic in which Leorio is filming solo adult content to help pay for medical school. When Kurapika finds it, he can't help but watch it. But he also can't seem to text Leorio back. Will Kurapika let himself be satisfied with an erotic, parasocial relationship with Leorio, or will he finally pick up the phone?

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.

Summary
Shalnark wants to always be under his own control, in his own power, cognizant to the slightest of implied threats. Uvogin wants, every once in a while, to be powerless in the hands of someone he trusts, with his strength deftly diverted. It's serendipitous, that Shalnark is so happy to take control of him too.

Summary
When Hisoka, out of habit, begins fishing through his ripped-up pocket for his wallet, Illumi places a hand on his shoulder.
“No need,” he says. There’s blood in his eyelashes. “I have a rewards card.”(A chronic thrill-seeker and a murderer for hire: various moments spent together. Subjectively boring. Just boring enough to remember.)

Summary
Illumi has had plenty of sex. It's all been with needle-people he was controlling, of course, but that's enough. He just needed to build up a tolerance for the process. Hisoka is unimpressed.

Summary
“I’m going to miss this,” Hisoka repeated, fingers reacquainting themselves with the break of Illumi’s knees, rolling into the indents and curving up towards his thigh. Horror solidified in Illumi; this can’t be happening.
And then Hisoka smiled, all wide grin and parted teeth, “You’re looking at me like I killed your mother, darling.”
