Autumn's Children
by November First is an Hunter × Hunter fanfiction. The first part has been completed and the prologue for the sequel Winter's Dead has been posted.
Autumn's Children contains examples of:
- Alternate Universe: While the plot starts off like canon, things diverge quickly after Ubo's death.
- Break the Cutie: Losing her entire family and people is what turned Kurapika from an innnocent Cheerful Child into the vengeful Anti-Hero she is right now.
- Chain Pain: As in canon, Kurapika's main weapon is this.
- Curse: The Kurata, upon their deaths, left behind a powerful curse bound to the Eyes. Kurapika states she could activate it at any time.
- Dead Person Conversation: Kurapika has several of these with Ubo after she kills him and his ghost is somehow bound to her.
- Gender Flip: Kurapika is a girl here.
- Hallucinations: In the last chapter of Autumn, Kurapika has a hallucination of Ubo.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Villainous example. Ubo pulls this to convince Kurapika the Spider's dead.
- I See Dead People: Kurapika is revealed to have this ability after Ubo's death.
- Morality Chain: Gon, Killua, and to a lesser extent Leorio act as these for Kurapika.
- Our Ghosts Are Different:
- After Kurapika kills Uvogin, his ghost is tied to her.
- Also, whatever is going on with the Kurata curse.
- Senseless Sacrifice: While it works for a while, Ubo's sacrifice ends up being in vain when Kurapika discovers the dupe and goes to the Spider's base.
- The Stations of the Canon: Zig-Zagged, While several things from canon occur, they happen for different reasons, or don't happen at all.
- Except for Gon and Killua getting caught by the Spiders, the reasons and circumstances are exactly the same.
- Theme Naming: Each part of the series is/will be named after a season.
