summary
"The news said that when the authorities found the bodies of the Kurta clan sprawled across the village, they burned them. Kurapika could not really fault them for that. It was easier and more efficient than a mass grave, after all, and there had been no one to tell them that the Kurta did not burn their dead.The Kurta desired to be returned to the earth, wrapped in cloth, not even a coffin to stand between their flesh and the forces that would break them back down into the elements they had formed from. It was an insult to burn them, but Kurapika had no one to blame but himself for that. He hadn’t been there. They couldn’t have known.

But Kurapika would do it properly now."

When the quest for all the eyes has finished, what is left? More vengeance, perhaps — or perhaps a little peace.

summary
'Becoming the stylist of one of America’s currently most discussed solo artists isn’t quite how Leorio hoped to start his own career in the music industry, but it will have to do. He has a foot in the door now, and he knows this job can earn him some sorely needed connections. And the work’s not so bad either, even if it sometimes leaves his head spinning and his body struggling to catch a breath. It has quiet moments like these, when it’s just them and their little inside jokes and Kurapika’s dark eyes settle on him with a twinkle of amusement.'

... In which Leorio is an aspiring singer and songwriter and Kurapika is a musical prodigy with the temper of a rockstar. Together they face the dark aspects of the business and an utter lack of privacy while they pine for each other fiercely, either man unaware of the feelings of the other. Yet, when their first tour comes up, their patience and restraint is put to a new test. A small shared living space. Drunk impromptu karaoke sessions. A childish lovesong, written years ago, that Kurapika rather wants to forget about and that might easily give him away.
One of them is bound to slip up.

summary
When Killua runs away from the Zoldyck family a second time and reports their abuse to the police, they use their influence to have him committed to a mental ward under the guise of schizophrenia. When Gon crashes a car with Kite in it, killing Kite and injuring himself, he can't climb out of his guilt, even without being able to remember the accident. They meet at Desert Bloom recovery center, where, in the company of therapist Leorio Paladiknight, Nurse Bisky Krueger, and patient Kurapika Kurta, they begin to change each other- and maybe heal a little.

Is it okay to love someone, even when you don’t love yourself?

summary
Kurapika’s chest went cold. His blood froze in his veins. His mind said, no. His body protested, it can’t be. His heart screamed, not him, not him, not him.

“Mizai,” Kurapika asked slowly, and he heard his own voice as if from a million miles away. “Where is Leorio?”

And Kurapika was quite positive he was having a nightmare, or he was actually dead and this was hell, because he actually felt the ground drop out from under his feet when Mizai met his gaze with those mismatched eyes and said, “We don’t know.”

___

The Succession War has been decided. Kurapika has found the last of the Eyes. At last he can start to put his life back together. And then Leorio was kidnapped.

Kurapika will tear apart the Black Whale himself to find Leorio.

Leorio is positive Kurapika has not even noticed he's gone. So now it's up to him - and the snarkiest, sassiest, youngest Zoldyck - to find a way out of this mess.

kurapika/leorio; 6.5k; 1/1; complete

summary
When Hisoka climbs through his window with a basket of fruit and well wishes, Kurapika isn’t that surprised. When Senritsu checks in on him again (and again.....and again), Kurapika expects it. When Chrollo and Gon and Killua and Tonpa pop in and stop by and generally outstay their welcome, it's par for the course.

But four weeks after Kurapika breaks his leg, and Leorio is still nowhere to be found? Kurapika’s maybe getting a little bit concerned.

the tags on this fic is one of my favorite parts also i remember laughing out loud multiple times while reading this

A short, light-hearted oneshot I wrote for a friend after I made a joke about how Kurapika is probably secretly a sleep-cuddler. Canon universe.
