Comments: Ok, I do have yaoi/shounen ai doujinshi, but not a lot. HxH is the only series I make this exception for, because I adore the Killua and Gon friendship, and it's hard to find djs that are friendship instead of romance. There are several short stories. In the first story (by Ryo Yanatsu, see cover art), Gon and Killua are sitting on a log in a snowy forest, when Killua gets flashbacks of his darker self (his bloody, clawed hand). My best guess: he tells Gon that his hands are dirty, when Gon cheers him up by placing a starfish on his own hand, and telling Killua that his hand is dirty now, too. It ends with Gon reaching out his hand to Killua, and Killua taking it. It's sweet, because Gon shows that he accepts Killua as who he is. Another story is with Killua and Gon sharing a bath with a weird looking toy duckie. The fourth story is also by Ryo Yanatsu. Killua and Gon are walking in the snow. Killua sees Gon huffing on his hands, and is confused until Gon turns towards him and places his warmed palms on Killua's cold cheeks. Killua returns the favor, and they share a kiss. The last story has a Kurapika cameo.
