Hunter X Hunter/Fanfic Recs

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying (and then being resurrected) for here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Hunter X Hunter, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. No-name recommendations will be Zapped (wiki). Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.


Shipping Fics

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

The Lost Night by JoyPurple13

  • Recommended by Indalecio
  • Pairings: Killua/OC
  • Synopsis: A hunter named Yuki and Killua fall in love. Unfortunately, Killua had killed her family during his previous life as an assassin, though she doesn't realize that for a while.
  • Comments: Quite well done. The characters are sharply defined, and the romance proceeds smoothly, if a bit rushed. Killua seems slightly off, though there's not any one point that I could point to. Nen seems a bit downplayed, and there are at least a few plot turns where it could've been used to solve or prevent problems but isn't.

Domesticity Arc by Mina Lightstar

  • Recommended by Bluetwinkletoes 19
  • Pairings: Mainly Leorio/Kurapika, Gon/Killua in the background
  • Synopsis: A series of short stories about Leorio and Kurapika living together supposedly after the series. Hilarity ensues.
  • Comments: Kurapika's sarcasm is well written, and both Leorio and Kurapika act in character, and their bickering can be quite amusing to read, especially when it's over the color of their office.


FreedomXFortuneXFate by ColorlessButterfly

  • Recommended by Liah Faile
  • Pairings: Hisoka/OC
  • Synopsis: His hands are covered with pitch black strings. Her hands are bare. A crimson thread connects them both.
  • Comments: This piece turned out to be so interesting and engaging, and even though it's not finished yet, the author captures the spirit of York Shin and the darkness behind Hisoka's character so well. I got chills when I read this! If you've ever wanted Hisoka to be pulled into this destructive, taunting romance, then this is a must read.

1001 Nights by Runandra

  • Recommended by phantomdare 1
  • Pairings: Kuroro/Kurapika, Shalnark/OC
  • Synopsis: Kurapika had a question. Should he feel unfortunate, for losing the only Scarlet Eyes that he thought he had retrieved, and knowing that Kuroro Lucifer; his nemesis, had finally broken free from his Chain of Judgement? Or should he feel fortunate that he actually bumped into him in his task to retrieve some ancient relic? One thing for sure: the appearance of a genie definitely spelled D-O-O-M.
  • Comments: Plays well on the differences between Kuroro and Kurapika, and gradually develops Kurapika's character into finally forgiving the vendetta against the Spiders and finally accepting that revenge isn't the best way to go.
