Though Mira was born a thief, she will have to learn what it means to steal, especially if it means stealing another's life. 

Mira's fate was determined long before she was born. And when she drew her first breath, that fate was written on her skin in thick ink, a mark she can never remove. Thief. 
  
That one word has guided her life for eighteen years, destroying friends and forming enemies. It is this word that threw her into the king's prison, condemning her to a life of killing for sport. 
  
She has spent her life clawing at her ink-stained skin, seeking for a way to remove this curse from her tainted life. But some scars never heal, and some paths never waver. Mira may just find that this blight might actually be her greatest strength.

The Darkness Within - Hunter X Hunter Fanfiction by just_smile_back

Unfinished & abandoned. Mira doesn't really mean to be a bad person, it just sort of... happens. She was locked up most of her life in a place called Asylum. There, they trained children to become assassins, with the goal of being strong enough to overcome the Zoldycks in a fight. All of them. At once. Mira just finishes some... business... when she is found by Hisoka. Well, she finds him. He brings her to the Hunter Exam, not knowing how strong she really is... During the Exam, Mira meets Gon and Killua. Will they become friends? Will they stay friends? Will Mira become a Hunter? ...or will she fall prey to the evil that she was brought up to cultivate? -- "No! Please! Don't do this!" My mother screams at me, her hands soaked in my father's blood. He is lying on the kitchen floor. In his chest is a gaping hole, where I had ripped out his heart just minutes before. I could have done it cleanly, without a speck of blood, but it didn't seem fitting. After what my parents had done to me, their deaths deserved to be bloody. "And why shouldn't I?" I ask my mother, well aware of the sadistic grin that was spreading across my face. I've missed this feeling. Strong and in control. "You knew that this would happen the minute you sent me to that godforsaken place." "I'm your mother. You wouldn't exist if not for me!" She shouts, heartbeat pulsing rapidly. "How could you do this to us? You monster!" I can feel my grin falter, but I clench my teeth and hold back the unwanted emotions. "Yes. A monster. Just as I was all those years ago, before you decided to abandon me. You left me to them, mother." "You didn't deserve a place in our home!" "You're right, mother," I reply quietly. "I deserved to be tortured, instead. I deserved to be alone. Whatever helps you sleep at night." And though I no longer take pleasure in my actions, I tightly grip the dagger that was a second ago secured to my waistline, and slit her throat.

The Vow Beneath My Skin by user04336713

She woke up with a stranger's name tattooed over her heart. Every inch of Aria Vale's body is inked with symbols she doesn't remember getting. Lines. Glyphs. Names. Warnings. And one name pulses when she touches it: Cassian. When she tracks him down, she finds a boy she's never met- but who already knows her voice. Already dreams of her scream. Already bears a mark that matches hers exactly. "You're not supposed to be alive," he says. "But I never stopped waiting for you." Now Aria is dragged into a hidden world- Where soulbonds take the form of body ink. Where love spells are carved, not spoken. Where Cassian is being hunted by the very cult that once tore Aria's soul in half. He swears they were lovers in a past life. He swears they made a blood vow before she died. He swears he'll protect her- Even if he has to bind her down and awaken the ritual that made her his.

The Reader and the Ink I (One shot) I ✔️ by Flower_980

In a world where stories leave scars, love is the deepest wound of all. Readers are born cursed-unable to resist the pull of fiction, unable to distinguish the page from reality. Every novel they consume is lived in full: every heartbreak, every death, every betrayal etched into their body and soul as if it were their own. While Authors create pain with ink, Readers bleed for it. She is one such Reader-worn down by thousands of lives she never asked to live, hearts she never wanted to love, and endings she was forced to endure. He is an Author-cold, untouched, immune to emotion by design. Until he sees her. Until something cracks. When an unfinished manuscript draws them together, the impossible happens: he begins to feel. She begins to break. As their worlds collide, one finds purpose, the other seeks escape. But in a story built on imbalance-where one can only feel too much and the other nothing at all-love was never meant to save them. Only ruin them.

To keep him-and herself-alive, Mira must outrun hunters wielding stolen magic and decipher a prophecy etched in a book that refuses to open.
