QAQ ILLUMI! OMYGOD NOOOOOOOOO

... This story is so sad... it almost made me cry... who knew Illumi could have these thoughts?

I... I can't describe how beautiful this is. All I can say is that I'm crying.

This...was beautiful. You need to write like this more often. Sure there were moments that I wasn't certain I agreed on, but how can I possibly let that distract me from the emotion that was put into this? It almost hurts to read just from the tone it's told in.

Thank you for writing this.

That was really interesting. It's always hard to write Illume as a sympathetic character because he's so goddamn creepy, but you managed to pull it off very elegantly. If nothing else, Illume does care about his brothers (except probably Milluki- nobody seems to give two shits about him) in his own, messed-up way. So the fact you played off that one thing we know about Illume for 100% sure is quite clever.
His meeting Hisoka is, I think, against cannon, but that's kind of overshadowed by MOTHERFUCKING HISOKA. I mean, goddamn, that is so in-character it's painful. Illume I can see just putting on an act, but there's absolutely no way Hisoka isn't an insane homicidal murder.
So yeah, awesome job. 10/10, would fave.
