Y/n L/n never asked to be left in Meteor City... but if life gives you garbage, you climb out of it with style. A sarcastic, poison-resistant menace with the reflexes of a feral cat and the moral compass of someone who definitely grew up near Phantom Troupe babysitters, she enters the Hunter Exam for one reason only: fun. (And maybe to bully a few strangers along the way.) She doesn't expect to befriend a sunshine-powered boy, a white-haired walking trauma response with a skateboard, and two other idiots who somehow become "her people." She definitely doesn't expect Illumi to recognize her, Hisoka to be creepy as usual, or for the Exam itself to feel like a bizarre mix of survival games and a cooking show gone wrong. She isn't really normal~ but I won't tell it right now how. All I'll say that the more she travels with her new friends, the more the truth starts cracking through her composed, sarcastic mask. But hey, as long as she can joke through trauma, bully Killua a little, and not get murdered by giant monster-strawberries, she'll survive. Probably. ｢Hunter x Hunter fanfic • Slow-burn Killua x fem!reader • chaos, abilities, trauma, found family, mystery, and Y/n owning every room she walks into.」
