Death Note FIC Idea

Attention Death Note fic writers, I have a plot idea Watari and Roger are partners in crime and discovered L's talents by him stopping WW3 at age 8, but the twist is that instead of the kid's parents dying naturally. They target gifted kids and murder the parents instead, forcing them into the orphanage so they can mold them into L's successors. The reason is Wammy's inventions aren't making as much money as they usually would. With a genius kid like L sculpted into being a detective, imagine all the money they'd get? They gaslight the fuck out of them to make them think they never even met their parents and whoever wasn’t cracking under the manipulation was put under intense pressure to melt their brain into mush. (Could be a subplot of what happened to A and Beyond) Yes, I know. This is all very dark and doesn't sound much like Watari. However, in the novel... (SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS KEEP SCROLLING)

I'm pretty sure Mello says something like "L was Watari's greatest invention" and also hints that the first generation of kids were merely test subjects and designed to fail. That means both Roger and Wammy didn't care about these children... L included (not talking about LCTW, love that Watari), he was just seen as an invention so grand he had to be copied. (plus his room growing up was literally a padded cell soooo) Now with that out of the way, this makes a lot more sense. It would follow the original plot of the anime and manga - Light is still Kira, L is the Detective trying to execute him, HOWEVER... When Light gives himself amnesia, this is where it all comes into play. As Kira, he had researched about all these parents getting murdered. They never found the culprits, so he pushed it aside until he had a lead. Well. Meeting L and seeing how Watari acts around him... he finally has something to connect it to.

Before he gets his memories back? He's helping L escape the Wammy House manipulation and to help him learn the truth of what really happened and to become Lawliet. Not just L. Break free of the mechanic chains that he was raised in and taught instead how to be a person. How to be human. Boom, that's my story idea. If you couldn't tell, I'm a sucker for hurt/comfort

Imagine the angstttttt

The disbelief, the anger, the accusations, the defending... until finally... he looks and thinks back and realizes that Light is right. Once he's free of the manipulation... can he save the others? Or will Near, Mello and Matt suffer the same fate as past kids?

sorry yeah we queer coded your boyfriend. he’s arguing with his brash and emotionally reserved rival over something trivial for comedic effect. they have a special, vaguely suggestive bond that sets them apart. hm? oh uhh. yes they are blue and red

(From the Death Note encyclopedia in the official box set)

“He’s likely not capable of loving a woman” yeah but he sure does have an obsession with a certain dark haired man instead

[rawrlight]

thinking about how death note, first and foremost, is a tragedy.

thinking about misa and her love. thinking about the tragedy of dying for a love that was never real. thinking about the tragedy of no-one ever really loving you enough to save you from the end of yourself.

thinking about mikami. thinking about the tragedy of worship. thinking about the tragedy of a shattered belief, one that you've clung on to for so long it becomes your sanity.

thinking about matsuda. thinking about the tragedy of being pushed over, again and again---trampled by everyone better than you. thinking about the tragedy of killing someone whom you watched grow up, whom you trusted with your life, whom you stood up for till the very bitter end.

thinking about the yagami family. thinking about soichiro, who never knew the truth---is ignorance bliss? thinking about sayu---the tragedy of having all you thought was safe broken. thinking about sachiko, the tragedy of losing a family that you never thought you could even lose. thinking about the tragedy of a family being ripped apart.

thinking about rem. thinking about the tragedy of losing immortality, losing your life, for someone you know will never feel the same. thinking about the tragedy felt caused by one person breaking through the endless monotony of your world, the only person that has ever done that for all the years you've lived for, and then leaving.

thinking about l lawliet. thinking about the tragedy of losing. thinking about the tragedy of losing, not only the game, but in so many ways from the very beginning. thinking about the tragedy of having so many names you don't know which one you truly are. thinking about the tragedy of being killed by the very name that's so buried you probably don't even remember anymore.

thinking about light yagami. thinking about the tragedy of being anyone except yourself, the tragedy of lying since your first breath. thinking about the tragedy of killing the one and only person you knew would understand you. thinking about the tragedy of killing yourself before you even put pen to paper.

the amazing thing about lawlight is that fanfic writers have never needed to find a reason to share a bed. "Only one bed" is basically cannon.

[littlegrnghoul]

Yeah..

[historygay420692]

honestly we are so lucky L didn’t win bc he would’ve caught light and been so freaky about it. im talking crucifixion level gay shit

[grimalkinmessor]

Thinking about an AU where there is no Death Note Light literally just develops the ability to causes heart attacks through knowing someone's name and face and having enough active malice towards them that their heart just explodes. Thinking about how he'd be in denial about it for longer. Thinking about how he'd go even more insane with his God Complex. Thinking about Ryuk just being the first person to find out about it because he watched Light glare super hard at Shibamaru Takuo right before the guy collapsed convulsing on the ground and died. Thinking about Ryuk IMMEDIATELY tagging along for the fun of it and shoving his way into being Light's best friend within fifteen minutes of this discovery. Thinking about Light killing people on accident because his powers are now emotion-based. Thinking about Light blasting rage music through his headphones so he can kill multiple people at once. Thinking about L feeling his heart stutter in his chest so often around Light that he's convinced he has feelings for him but it's really just Light's power knocking at his ribcage because he only has half of L's name. Thinking about—

soulmates

[captainhysunstuff]

@lawlightweek2024 Day 2: Soul mates (sort of)!

L runs into a newly brandished Detective Light Yagami at a park, and the two easily reconnect~.

This wasn't my original plan for this prompt, but I still wanted to get across that these dudes just kind of... belong together, y'know?

[totheidiot]

i think we can put all the versions of death note and its adaptations into a spectrum based on how much light and L want to kill each other and on one side of the spectrum, it's the death note japanese musical and on the very other side, it's the death note tv drama.

[frootloopsl]
