Since Christmas is around the corner, here's a collection of HxH Christmas fanfics of rarepairs from various writers, made from the "A Small Ship's Christmas" event in 2021.

There's like 11 works inside so enjoy.

The small ships with Gon, Kurapika and Hisoka

They're part of the 3 most popular ships of the fandom, and don't get us wrong, they're lovely ships with some of the most amazing content we ever seen! But let's talk about the alternative ships these characters are in.

Gon

In our interest check the most mentioned Gon ship was with Alluka, Killua's little sister. They had interacted briefly during the Election Arc after his life was saved thanks to her (and Nanika). Imagine all the adventures they could have together along with Killua!

Currently there's only 19 fics under this ship's tag on AO3.

Kurapika

In our interest check the most mentioned Kurapika ships were with Melody and with Neon.

Kurapika and Melody have an incredible partnership and the way she's able to soothe his heart with her music is quite beautiful. Their interactions are material to some wholesome fics!

Currently there's only 22 fics under this ship's tag on AO3.

Now, Kurapika's interactions with Neon are more complicated since she's a flesh collector but he was always a dutiful bodyguard to her nonetheless, and when Light Nostrade was no longer able to lead the family, Kurapika assumed his place in business and, most likely, in watch over Neon.

Currently there's only 95 fics under this ship's tag on AO3.

Hisoka

In our interest check the most mentioned Hisoka ships were with Machi and with Leorio.

Hisoka's interactions with Machi are complex since they stand in opposite sides right now but they used to work together in past and he knows how to get under her skin. Not to mention the dinner invitation.

Currently there's only 164 fics under this ship's tag on AO3.

We could have seen more interactions between Hisoka and Leorio on canon but Leorio's brave, and somewhat naive, demeanor goes well with someone who appreciates strong people and likes to tease them. A lot.

Currently there's only 54 fics under this ship's tag on AO3.

What's your favorite small ship with these popular characters? Let's celebrate it together in our event ~

And remember! Our Week starts Dec. 19th. Hope to see you there!

Hellow. Good day.

I may have been inspired to write a one shot for the small ships Christmas event despite being a Grinch and well...

Of course it would be kitewing . What did you expect??

I'll be happy if you check it out!

Pathetic (SFW)

Pairing: Hisoka/Machi

Word Count: 740

Warnings: Mention of murder, language.

Note: A short HisoMachi fluffy for @hxhsmallchristmas 💕 Day 1: "You didn't think I'd let you spend Christmas alone, did you?"

AO3 link

She wasn't expecting the colorful lights flashing cheerfully when she opened the door. The place was all decorated in the most cheesy way possible. Santas and reindeers, elves and snowmen, little gingerbread houses and candy canes. Even a Christmas tree with a huge star on the top was standing in the corner of the living room. Her living room. At least temporarily. Machi had found that place in a nice area with privacy and a milder weather; it used to belong to a lower rank mafia member that was erased by the boss so she was sure she wouldn't be bothered.

Well, she wasn't supposed to.

She was ready to drop her take-out dinner and get defensive — try to feel the aura of the invasor, prepare her threads — when Hisoka simply walked into the room from the kitchen, wearing an apron around his waist and a smile on his face.

"Machi, you're home!"

"No, I'm leaving."

She said without thinking and without thinking she turned around and walked out of that weird scenario. Her mind was filled with questions but the answer to all of them was probably that Hisoka loved to tease her. So, if he was bored enough, it would be a pleasure to him to track her down and give himself the trouble of decorating her place to pretend he celebrated something when clearly neither he or she cared about Christmas at all. But she wasn't in the mood to be his audience so it would be less of a bother to find a new place. Maybe. She was almost sure of that.

Little snowflakes were falling now but she only noticed it when Hisoka called her name and ran to her. His hair started to get covered by the little white flakes and his clear skin was getting flushed with no makeup to hide it. She huffed, taking a step back but standing there to listen to him.

"I'm not doing it just to tease you, silly girl."

"There's no other reason for you to do it."

"Actually there is," his lips curled up almost sweetly and he got a little closer to her, not touching her, however. Machi knew he was testing her limits and decided she could accept that small distance between them.

"But you won't tell me."

"I'd rather show you."

His breath was visible with the cold and his voice was as velvety as it got when he was trying to seduce her. Still, she looked away.

"I've seen enough and I hated all that. Christmas sucks, thought you agreed with it."

"It does when we're apart," Hisoka touched her face and she creased her eyebrows, not because of his cold fingers sliding slowly on her skin but because of his words.

"You've been watching too many romcoms, haven't you?" She smirked with irony but his eyes shined as if he had accepted it as a smile.

"Maybe… but I didn't want to let you spend this night alone…"

Machi didn't stop him when his face got dangerously closer to hers as he spoke. She didn't avoid him when his cold lips touched hers, although she took a while to allow his tongue to slide inside her mouth. He gently pulled her face up towards his and got deeper, slowly, making her feel a little dizzy as he was apparently savoring her warmth as if it was his personal Christmas Eve supper. He made her feel like he craved it and had dreamed of it for the weeks they had been apart.

It was so pathetic, just like the Christmas decorations. And she didn't know why — it wasn't supposed to happen — but it made her feel nice.

"Let's go inside," she broke the kiss, shaking her head lightly because she'd just realized she wanted it. She would never admit it, however. "You're freezing."

Hisoka hummed pleasantly and lifted her up in his arms, carrying her bridal style despite her brief and weak protest.

"Thanks for keeping me warm, Machi."

"Shut up," she spat and rolled her eyes when they got back to the extravagant living room. "And I'm crashing these stupid dolls."

"They're all yours to ruin, love." He shoved his face on the crook of her neck, breathing deeply between the back of her ear and her hair covered by a beanie and whispered in a way that made her shiver, "just like me…"

Unexpected gifts

Pakunoda tries to visit Machi at her place on Christmas, with unexpected results, since the Phantom Troupe can't spend a day without killing or robbing someone nor the chaos that comes with it.

Made for the #smallshipschristmas for the Day 1 prompts: “You didn’t think I’d let you spend Christmas alone, did you?” and “Unexpected Gift”. Warning! This fanfic has a M classification since it contains violence as well as mentions of sex!

hey y'all!! this event looks awesome & i'd love to participate, but i was wondering if platonic "ships" were allowed in this event provided they're rarepairs. for example, would a fic focusing on a platonic dynamic between kurapika & killua be allowed?

Hi!!! :)

Thank you so much!! We'll be looking forward to your participation!

About platonic "ships", as long as they're rare -- not given enough development on canon or attention from fandom, just like the rareships -- then yes! We understand that platonic relationships need more love as well and they're welcome in our event ~

See ya!!

[hxhsmallchristmas]

Hi! I participated in the challenge and submitted my fanfics here and on AO3. However I have also made some translations on my native language (Spanish), since there is way more fanfics in Spanish there than on AO3, and put them on my FFN account (always saying that they were for this challenge). Is that ok, right?

Hello!! 💕

Absolutely! Don't worry.

We're glad with your participation ✨

Missing someone

Christmas is not precisely a happy date for Kurapika, even when everybody is having a blast out there in the Christmas party, he can’t help but feel haunted by his past. However, Melody does the best to understand him and ease his pain. Done for the #smallshipschristmas event for the day 4 prompt: Missing someone!
