summary:  Kuroro must endure the side-effects of his nen exorcism. Alternatively, Kuroro is forced to have feelings and absolutely cannot handle it.

chapter summary: Kuroro is faced with a difficult decision. It's always a difficult decision, where Kurapika is involved.

chapter sneak peek:

“I suppose I should… thank you.” The thanks seem to squeeze painfully past Kurapika’s lips, but Kuroro doesn’t have time to feel offended as Kurapika steps closer, crossing the scant feet between them.

Kuroro’s eyes immediately flicker to Kurapika’s lips and the blond tracks the movement. Kuroro’s pulse jackrabbits, certain that Kurapika can hear its quickening pace.

after 6 years of waiting! sorry guys

pairing: kurapika/kuroro

rating: E

summary:  Royal AU. Kurapika just wants to save his people. If that means going through with this arranged marriage with his sworn enemy, then so be it. As for what Kuroro wants... well, he hasn't figured that out yet.

chapter summary: Kurapika searches for answers regarding Kuroro's strange madness affliction, and the two share a heated night.

chapter sneak peek:

I missed you,” Kuroro murmured into the back of his neck. Fingers danced up Kurapika’s waist to toy with the clasps of his robes. Kurapika shivered. 

“We were parted for not two days.” Kuroro made a displeased sound, near petulant. https://archiveofourown.org/works/15076787/chapters/206787776

“Not by my choice,” Kuroro replied. The man kissed his nape, lips feverishly hot. 

“Kuroro—” the other’s name ended in a breathy hitch when Kuroro’s mouth closed on the sensitive curve of his shoulder and sucked, teeth teasing skin. “Oh.” Kuroro’s hands tightened around his waist in response. “My king,” he tried again, immediately flushing a deep red at the desperate whine in his voice. He could feel Kuroro’s smile against his neck. The pleasant ache of the man’s bruising kisses was too much, and yet Kurapika wanted, needed more.

i'm back! with another angsty oneshot :)

pairing: kurapika/kuroro

rating: T

summary:  Kurapika dies, leaving Leorio with more questions than answers about his relationship with one Kuroro Lucilfer.

chapter sneak peek:

Kurapika doesn’t have much time left, and he must know it too. His eyes flicker to something over his shoulder, eyes straining to focus. “Ku—”

“What is it?” He looks behind him and flinches. Leorio doesn’t know how he hadn’t seen him before, but then again when he had entered the room there had been blood and Kurapika and his vision had tunneled from there. But kneeling there, just a few feet away, eyes fixed on Kurapika’s broken form, is Kuroro Lucilfer. Instinctually, Leorio opens his mouth to say something, to shout at him to get back, to let Kurapika have his last few moments without the ugly reminder of his loss, but then he catches sight of the man’s expression. 

Gutted, is the only way to put it. Lucilfer’s facial features remain as smooth and placid as usual, but Leorio has been around the families of the sick and dying enough times to know. That profoundly lost look in his eyes, the way his hands shake ever so slightly by his sides—but why? There are so many things Leorio wants to ask, like why Lucilfer was there to begin with, why he was there when Leorio wasn’t. 

final chapter is out, kiddos!

pairing: kurapika/kuroro

rating: E

summary:  Kuroro must endure the side-effects of his nen exorcism. Alternatively, Kuroro is forced to have feelings and absolutely cannot handle it.

chapter summary: Kuroro gets a taste of what he's been pining after for the past year. Kurapika gets taken care of.

chapter sneak peek:

Kurapika notices him staring. The blond seems to weigh his attention, considering it, before saying, “You want me.” It isn’t a question. Not an accusation, either, but something oddly curious. 

A droplet of water slides down the Kurta’s collarbone. Kuroro wants to track its descent with his tongue. 

aaaand we're back! as promised(ish), here is chapter 6 of now 7 to close out this year. Cheers!

Chaper Sneak Peek:

“It wasn’t his right,” Kuroro says. “He thought he could kill you.”

Kurapika’s bright eyes don’t waver. “He nearly did.”

Kuroro leans forward, risks bringing a hand up to stroke Kurapika’s cheek. The other man catches him, grip nearly crushing, but he doesn’t push Kuroro away. “In that, he was greedy. Your life was yet another thing that was not his to take.” Kurapika scoffs, finally smacking Kuroro’s hand away, the force enough to break bone. 

“And yet it is yours?” Kurapika’s aura spikes dangerously, beautiful as it is terrifying. Kuroro’s hand throbs and yet he has never wanted to kiss Kurapika more. 

Instead, he just smiles, a winning one. Full of teeth. “And mine is yours.” Kurapika laughs, scornful.

me?? with a timely update? it's more likely than you'd think. here's chapter two.

sneak peek:

“Where did he go?” she asks. Brahms doesn’t seem very interested in her question as he traces his hands up her waist. She shivers as he places a phantom kiss to her shoulder. 

“He made you upset,” he says simply. “So I made it so that you wouldn’t have to see him again.”

Greta stares at the blood splatters on the carpet, on the hardwood floor. “Did you bury him?” Her voice is barely above a whisper. 

this is probably not what you're expecting from me but here it is anyway! i'll be back writing my usual stuff soon enough.

rating: T+

chapters: 1/3

summary:

She can’t leave him. She can’t love him, either. But she has to pretend. Malcolm is alive somewhere downstairs and she has to save him, somehow. And she has to save Brahms, too, if she wants to save herself.

chapter four is up! i hope you all enjoy! feel free to comment questions/voice your opinions :)

summary:  Kuroro must endure the side-effects of his nen exorcism. Alternatively, Kuroro is forced to have feelings and absolutely cannot handle it.

chapter summary: Hisoka throws a planet-sized wrench to Kuroro’s carefully laid plans. Chaos ensues. 

chapter sneak peek:

“My nen has changed within you,” Kurapika says. “‘An equal exchange,’ Hisoka told me.” Kurapika summons his chains, studying them before turning his attention back to Kuroro. The man stares thoughtfully at the Spider’s chest. “I suppose the nen exorcist could not fully lift my conditions off of you. Not without leaving something behind.”

Kurapika doesn’t seem angry, not yet. Nonetheless, Kuroro proceeds carefully. “Your curse was stubborn,” he allows. Kurapika scoffs at his understatement.

“I gave up part of my life for it. It was designed to burrow within you, Lucilfer, to grow and fester and rot. A corruption of that kind cannot simply be cut out.” Kurapika’s calm mask finally splinters, then.

chapter three is a go! thank you all for your patience! (and if you’re following me for witcher content--there’ll be another chapter of my fic up hopefully later this month!)

chapter summary: Hisoka is found. Kurapika catches on to Kuroro’s peculiar behavior. 

sneak peek:

“Shut up,” Kurapika hisses. Kuroro frowns.

“I wasn’t talking.” The other man gives him a cursory glance from the corner of his eyes.

“Your heart,” he informs him, cross, “is inconceivably loud.”

chapter five is a go! apologies for the long wait :p

summary:  Jaskier's glamour breaks after the terrible events on Niedamir's Mountain and Julian is forced to return to the Path. Everything should have been fine—Julian has spent nearly a century before being Jaskier as a witcher; he should be used to it—but then he ends up taking the same contract as Geralt and his Child Surprise and suddenly Julian isn't sure where he ends and Jaskier begins.

chapter summary: Yennefer meets her Child Surprise. Julian pines hopelessly yet again. 

sneak peek:

“Why are you so intent on leaving?” Geralt demands. Julian tilts his head.

“Why are you so intent on getting me to stay?”

“I thought you were dead, ” Geralt says through clenched teeth. He steps forward, looming over Julian even though he only has an inch or two on him. “And when I find you again—” he cuts himself off, the steady control over his voice wavering ever so slightly. One of Geralt’s hands latches on to Jaskier’s, clutching it like a lifeline. “This isn’t the life that I wanted for you.”

“Why are you so intent on leaving?” Geralt demands. 

“Why are you so intent on getting me to stay?” Julian fires back. 

“I thought you were dead,” Geralt says through clenched teeth. He steps forward, looming over Julian despite the fact that he only has an inch or two on him. “And when I find you again--” he cuts himself off, the steady control over his voice wavering ever so slightly. One of Geralt’s hands latches on to Jaskier’s, clutching it like a lifeline. “This isn’t the life that I wanted for you.” 

Julian swallows. “Well, you’re about a century too late, Geralt. I have walked this life before and I am doing it again.” 

Geralt’s expression looks aggrieved and all at once he appears so much older, the decades seeping into his eyes. “This is not how I remember you--” The witcher stops himself but it’s too late. Julian smiles--hollow. 

“Believe me, this isn’t how I wanted you to remember me,” he asserts, far too calm for how much boils inside of him. “I wanted to be remembered fondly, if not vaguely--a warm, faceless feeling that you could come back during hard times.” It’s Jaskier speaking, now, all poetry and flowery language. “I didn’t want you to see me as this.” Julian wonders if he has scared Geralt with how the other witcher flinches away. 

The fierceness in his words retreats, then. Julian wets his lips. “Do me this one favor when this is all over, Geralt.” The way that he says his name--cradling it on his tongue. So careful, careful. “Remember me as I was, not as I am.”

Remember me I ask. 

Remember me I sing. 

That was how that unfinished song had gone, right?

- Remember me I ask, Remember me I sing Chapter 5

chapter 4 is up! please let me know your thoughts on this one!

‘I’, Geralt had said. Not ‘we.’ Julian wets his lips. 

“Okay,” he accepts, and it’s not quite right--Julian isn’t supposed to sound this breakable. He was made to swing silver and steel, to slay monsters, not to sit atop his horse like some delicate princess pining hopelessly over her galant knight. “Okay,” he tries again, more evenly. Geralt steps closer, too close. 

“Swear it.”

Julian can’t look away. Gold against blue. Blue against gold. “I swear it.” His slow heart is beating faster, now, loud enough that surely Geralt can hear it.
