#can be read as a ship or not

[punsaulanvecy]

So it's been a long while since I've touched the Death Note Fandom. Not for any reason in particular, just kinda have been away. However, the thing i wanna share is a small scene that won't leave my head.

So we all know the story of how Light tries to throw L off his trail in the beginning when they monitor him through cameras. He buys like a swimsuit mag in order to justify why he has precautions to know when someone has been in his room. Which, by the way, I still find that interesting, surly Light would have known that that is just typical teenage boy behavior and that it's nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn't warrant the amount of caution he's displaying.

So I present an alternative. Light has that same train of thought and realized that it just makes it seem like a red herring that much more. So he begins to wonder how to throw L off his trail without coming off as suspicious. Then, he sees it. A gay magazine for men. So he ignored the looks when he picked it up and headed home with it. He had goals beyond their understanding anyway.

What he learned was that people who saw him pick it up treated him differently. Not very drastically, but subtle enough to show their discomfort. The cashier actually made a distasteful comment to him after scanning said magazine.

It's all that makes Light realize that this would work much better than the original plan. He would pretend to be in the closet. That would justify the caution. He could just say that some parents loved their kids until they came out. Which is an unfortunate truth.

It would cause Lights' father upon seeing the gay magazine go through a small wave of shock, then guilt upon invading his sons privacy. He's a loving and supportive father. Of course, if Light turned out to be gay he would be supportive.

L still thinks there's something up. But Mr.Yagami is beyond upset. He's mad at L at himself. Upon learning that his son is in the closet, he tries not to let it show whenever he sees Light. Subtly trying to be supportive while trying to get Light to come out. Because he wants to hear it from his son's mouth and let him know first hand that he still loves him. This slowly starts ruining things between Mr.Yagami and L over time. It's an invasion of privacy that they have no right to reveal.

While that is a nice scenario all on its own, I present more that popped into my head at a later date.

Light, on the other hand, is starting to get uncomfortable. All this red herring is making him actually question his identity. He thought he was fully straight. But he's learning that he might actually be gay. Or at the very least, Bi. This is where it gets interesting. He decided to experiment for the audience he knows is watching. He figures that a real expirance would be hard to deny. It would leave him vulnerable, yes, but that was a sacrifice he was willing to make.

He invited someone over, and they probably made out, while Light would be actually exploring. Seeing if he was gay, bi, or something or other. No ruse, no planning, just him in the moment with this guy.

L ,who is watching, begins to wonder if they have the right person. He doesn't doubt himself. However, it's hard to deny that what's happening is genuine. What he sees is a teenager who is exploring more about himself, not a serial killer. However, the rational part of his brain is saying he could be both.

That's all I got for now, but if this already exists, I haven't seen it. Again, I haven't been in the Fandom for ages. Do with this what you will.

Dp x Dc prompt #1

Danny doesn’t know how Vlad managed to convince his parents to let him take Danny with him to some fancy gala in Gotham, but he does know he’s gonna be the biggest menace he can be to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

The moment they entered the place the gala was held, Danny’s eyes landed on the chandelier on the ceiling in de middle of the room.

Bingo.

What Danny had been expecting was something along the lines of him embarrassing Vlad, making Vlad angry, and/or getting kicked out when the chandelier inevitably crashed to the ground cause they weren’t made to hold his weight.

What Danny hadn’t been expecting was for the chandelier to be heavily reinforced and not move an inch when he hung on there upside down, nor had he expected to be joined up there by a guy his age that seemed to be bursting with excitement as he stared at Danny from his place upside down on the chandelier.

Ghosts don't sleep. They don't even really get tired. At least, not tired in the way sleep would fix. When Charles first dies, he attempts to sleep, but he never can manage it. No matter how many nights he tries. Eventually he gives up.

But he never gives up asking Edwin to read to him at night. Edwin's voice as he reads is warm and steady. Comforting, even. Charles may be dead at sixteen, but he isn't alone. He thinks his best chance at falling asleep is if Edwin is there to read him a bedtime story.

It's probably silly. But Edwin doesn't seem to mind.

Edwin reads him mostly detective stories at first. Sherlock Holmes, anything by Agatha Christie, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, of course—which is where they get the idea for the agency in the first place. But Edwin loves books of all sorts, so it isn't long before he's branching out into other genres.

Usually it's old books. Books from before Edwin was even alive. Books Charles would've avoid reading in school. Pride and Prejudice. Frankenstein. Jane Eyre. Oliver Twist. Somehow hearing them in Edwin's voice makes them much more tolerable.

And some are fun. Treasure Island is one Charles finds himself requesting over and over again. He always liked pirates. Lord of the Rings is another favorite, although maybe Charles is just excited that Edwin finally found a book that was published after he died.

Niko introduces Edwin to much newer literature. Teen romance novels with bright covers and cutesy, wordplay titles. Edwin even reads some of the books about boys kissing boys. An adorable, pink blush creeps across his cheeks every time still, but he's getting more comfortable.

Ghosts don't sleep, or even get tired. But Charles thinks he almost gets drowsy sometimes, late at night, when their living friends are sleeping, and he is curled safely and comfortably into Edwin, listening to him read.

Danny often felt tired, as of late.

He wasn't certain as to why he did, though. It happened after his, apparent, coronation as the Prince of the Infinite Realms and after finally getting a boyfriend out of that damsel in distress who made him into one.

Which was unfortunate, because though he may try, it was very hard to pay attention on dates when Danny felt he just came from using the Ecto-Skeleton and no amount of sleep would make it go away. Fortunately, however, Billy was very understanding and accommodating of his plight, letting him sleep on him whenever he wanted and having their dates be less mentally/physically demanding things.

Man, Danny loved his boyfriend.

Unfortunately, he was away on one of his Justice League mission things.

Another thing he noticed, is that he liked to sleep in more cold places now. Very, very cold places.

So much so, that he genuinely debated moving to the Far Frozen if not for his parents turning his room into a literal walk-in freezer for him.

Did he ever find out why he needs to sleep so much? No, not really. But man.

Danny could go down for a nap right now.

Pariah was having a good, very good day.

He woke up, stretched, ate some food he didn't actually need to, did some light exercises after aeons of not using his sword and just fighting in general and sat down for some tea.

Even had a letter from the Master of Time with a P.S that two humans would be busting down his door!

Wait what-

"Ghost King!" Came the rather loud, effeminate shout accompanying the loud slam of his castle doors. "Where is our son!"

Honestly, Pariah is impressed by the lungs on that human.

"You heard her!" He looked down calmly at the... Actually, what in the infinite is that? Since when did humans go walking around with cannons??? "Tell us where our son is our so help me! Ghost King or not we'll exorcise you right where you stand!"

Pariah blinked slowly, very, very slowly.

Then took a sip of his favorite ghost blend then calmly placed the cup back down.

"You must be the boy's, human, parents I presume?" He asked calmly, gaze sweeping over them both. They seemed to be prepared for war, a burning fire in their eyes as they stared down the very King of Infinity and saw only an obstacle.

Oooooh, how that made the part of him that longed, sung for battle purr in sheer delight.

"Why don't you join me for tea?" He said, waving a hand and conjuring forth two extra, human sized, chairs on the opposing end of his table alongside two more tea cups. "And explain whatever is going on, while you're at it."

The two shared a glance between each other, then slowly lowered their weapons down to a point where they could still draw them at a moment's notice, yet not actively antagonizing the king at the same time-

Oh, he just loves these types of mortals.

-before slowly making their way to their seats, which were right next to each other of course. Married and whatnot.

"Tea?" He flicked a finger, filling their cups with the same that was in his cup but before remembering. "Ah, right. Human and your mortality." He casually mentioned, flicking his finger and changing the liquid to one of the few mortal blends he could still recall. "Worry not, for they are not poisoned." He chuckled lightly.

Honestly, doing such a thing would be beneath him, especially when faced with mortals of such fire.

"Now," He brought his cup to his lips. "Why don't you inform me as to what, exactly, has brought you to my doorstep prepared for battle?"

They, once more, exchanged a glance between each other, making sure the king was still in sight before Maddie opened her lips.

"Our son is missing."

The summoning was a success.

A terrible, terrible success.

One that the Justice League, One John Constantine especially, had valiantly attempted to stop.

But, unfortunately, once it got going it seemed to be incapable of stopping.

Faced with an entity being summoned from the Infinite Realms, they had called all of the heroes who were capable that weren't occupied. Shazam, unfortunately, was one of said heroes occupied.

Superman and Wonderwoman? Were not. So, at the very least, they had two of their heaviest hitters available.

The circle glowed a toxic green, growing and growing in glow until it reached its zenith.

Then was snuffed out as brightly as it glowed.

The air stilled, followed by a chill that rivaled the chilliest of snowstorms as if they were standing within one that very moment.

The next moment?

Ice.

Pure, unflinching, jagged pillars of ice rose from the circle the same moment it glow returned. Sticking out from the circle haphazardly and nearly impaling those that stood too close.

Mist, thick, blue mist. Rolled from the pillars of ice, descending down onto the floor with a gentleness that was almost deceptive if not occupied by such cold and being completely and utterly unnatural as it was.

The Justice League readied themselves.

platonic or not, these two should dance to old classics to settle their differences
