Summary:

Killua swallows thickly. “It’s not—It’s not his. Dæmons aren’t real animals, they don’t leave physical traces of themselves behind in this world. Anything you shed or bleed disappears into the air. So this wolverine claw can’t be Jax’s, it belonged to a real wolverine.” Ariney glowers. “I know that. But that’s exactly why you need it.” “...huh?” “Killua, you said so yourself! You can’t have anything of Jax’s. Not just because touching another dæmon is taboo, but because it’s literally impossible. But that doesn’t mean you can’t keep something that represents him. Gon’s dæmon chose the shape of a wolverine. This is a wolverine claw. Why not carry it on you? It might be the only thing that can make you feel better about missing Gon and Jax besides, well, visiting them.”

Summary:

Killua stares at his dæmon.

In a distant part of his mind, he’d known she was close to Settling. Puberty has already caused Killua to shoot up a few inches past Gon and outgrow the clothes he’d packed after leaving home. Both of their voices were deepening and Killua would be lying if he hadn’t admired Gon’s growing muscles over the past few weeks. Things were changing and that was normal, even if life felt anything but recently.

Yet despite all that, he had avoided thinking about Ariney Settling.

Another daemon au for the series! ^-^ This was written a pretty long time ago but I try not to post stuff the second I finish it so I can spread out the works I share with readers. I know this is kind of a niche au so I really and truly mean it when I say thank you to whoever reads this!

Summary:

Killua’s not sure why gazing at Gon causes a bittersweet pang in his chest.

He knows part of it is longing. He wants to be with Gon and his dæmon forever, to stay by their side and watch over them while they rest. He wants to protect them and grow with them. He wants to brush the hair out of Gon’s face and lay close enough that he can feel his body warmth. It’s all he can do to keep himself from reaching out and doing just that. 

But all this wanting—is it normal to have these feelings for a friend?

(HunterxHunter with dæmons, focusing on Killua and his dæmon, Ariney, dealing with their developing feelings for Gon and his dæmon, Jax, during their stay at Whale Island before they leave for York New City! This fic takes place right after Gon and Killua have that discussion about staying together.)

The title of this fic comes from the song 'Let’s Get Married' by bleachers. Thank you to @storybookprincess for introducing me to the song! ^-^

This week was a reallllllly long week for me so I wanted to post something to celebrate it being over lol! I wrote this drabble about three months ago? I like to think that Killua and Ariney don't know they are crushing Gon and Jax yet but feelings are definitely starting to form~

Thank you in advance to anyone who reads this! It means a lot <3

Summary:

“Fine. Don’t apologize,” Gon's dæmon says. “But we need to at least get Ariney back. And you better think twice before using Killua and Ariney as springboards for finding Ging and Katyin again.”

Gon wrinkles his nose. “I didn’t want to use Killua and Ariney like that. There was just no other option.”

"Yeah, well, the next time there’s ‘no other option’, it had better be for a better cause than achieving your goals, Gon. I don’t want to lose them just because you were blinded by ambition.”

Gon huffs. 'That’s kind of rich, coming from my own soul.'

'That’s exactly why I’m saying it. I know you best. And I know how much it would hurt for us to lose our only friends.'

(HunterxHunter with dæmons, focusing on Gon and his dæmon, Jax, dealing with the aftermath of Razor's dodgeball game during the Greed Island Arc!)

I wasn't expecting to post a fic today, but my family got some really good news so I'm feeling really happy and wanted to celebrate ^-^ I actually wrote Killua's pov of this fic a long looooong time ago back in 2017 as a request so I kind of just built Gon's pov based on that, and thus this fic was born!

If you would like to read more about this au, please find my daemon au tag here or read my series on ao3 here. I have a masterpost for all of the hxh characters’ daemons here.

Thank you for reading! ^-^

Summary:

“Did—Did you just call my soul pretty?”

“Yeah? Why, is there a problem with that?”

Killua opens his eyes again. Gon is still staring at him, gold eyes wide and innocent. Killua knows what he’s doing and he scowls at his best friend.

“You’re just saying that to rile me up. You can’t call another person’s soul pretty, that’s—that’s ridiculous!”

Gon shrugs. “Guess I’m ridiculous then.”

Killua sputters. There’s no logic in Gon’s thinking—he doesn’t think there ever has been—but there’s an honesty and a truth in it that makes Killua’s breath catch in his throat.

What does Gon really mean, when he compliments Killua's dæmon like that? What is he implying, if anything at all?

( HunterxHunter with dæmons, focusing on Gon and Killua and their dæmons choosing a shape to Settle as during the Chimera Ant arc.)

I finished a few different hxh fics of mine recently, so I decided to post this fic since it’s been awhile since I talked about my daemon au! If you would like to read more about this au, please find my daemon au tag here or read my series on ao3 here. I have a masterpost for all of the hxh characters’ daemons here.

Thank you for reading! ^-^

Sleep

Gon laughs quietly, golden eyes crinkling at the edges and round cheeks darkening a little. Something flutters in Killua’s chest at the sound, something light and warm and hopeful, but he pays it no mind. 

If Ariney was awake, she would definitely tease him about that. But, luckily, she’s fast asleep and the normally buzzing part of his mind that belongs to her is nothing more than a warm haze.

Summary:

There are two types of dæmons—those that are exactly like their humans, and those that aren’t.

( HunterxHunter with dæmons, focusing on Gon and his life back on Whale Island after the Election Arc.)

I wasn't sure if I was ever going to continue this series, but here we are! (The first daemon au fic I wrote can be read here.) If you have any questions about the daemons or their shapes please feel free to send me an ask, I love this au and I love talking about it~

[decembercamiecherries]

Sorry If I'm late to your daemon au bandwagon but in your au, if daemons have powers similar to their humans, does that mean Illumi's daemon could manipulate Killua's daemon? And how?

You’re not late, you can always ask me anything you’d like about my aus! :D And yes, you are correct: Eichlyse can manipulate Ariney with her Nen, just like Illumi can manipulate Killua with his Nen. If Illumi is using Needles, than Eichlyse can apply her own Nen to those Needles and Illumi will throw them for her at daemons. Nen by daemons will only work against daemons, they will not work on humans. But she doesn’t always need Needles to use Nen, just like how Illumi can change his appearance for a certain amount of time without the help of his Needles. And sometimes using Nen against a human alone is enough to make their daemon submissive.

Please let me know if this is at all confusing or if you have any more questions! I love talking about this au ^-^
