#l from deathnote??? hello

[13eyond13]

hello — do you have any death note fic recs that occur in the canon universe? they don’t necessarily need to be canon compliant, and i’d specifically prefer gen or lawlight. thank you so much :) your blog’s really fun to scroll through whilst putting off doing assignments

Aw, thank you anon! I quite like scrolling through my own blog too lol

And you got it, pal. I'd say it's about time I dust off my rusty fic recommending skills (I haven't been reading fanfiction regularly since probably about 2018, so these recs are not going to be the newest of the new, jsyk)...

Also, I'm ASSUMING this is the same anon who asked recently for fics a bit similar to

(X) Nights - youremyqueen [E, 400k+ words] L imprisons Light and then Light imprisons L and then L imprisons Light again. Sometimes they have sex, too.

? If not please forgive me, because I also used that as a guide when picking out these recs.

Also most of these recs are explicit and many of them are dark, so please check the tags and content warnings on the fics before reading them, just in case there's anything listed there that might be a dealbreaker for you! Should go without saying, but it's entirely on YOU if you end up reading something you're not comfortable with linked here, dear reader(s)...

CANON UNIVERSE + LAWLIGHT FIC RECS

SOME YOTSUBA ARC PWP ONE-SHOTS:

(X) Slap Fight - Shipaholic [E, 2k words] L makes a request. It gets out of hand. -(the girls are fiiiiighting...) (X) Love is an Open Door in My Ass - Shipaholic [E, 4k words] Matsuda gets very excited about an email forward. The task force despairs. -(technically meant to be taking place in the dramaverse, but you can easily imagine it as the anime/manga characters too. Rough sex but done with a lighter/softer tone) (X) Losing - Twyd [E, 2k words] L knows what losing feels like. -(depression!L is having a bit of a bad time... this writer makes L so quiet and sad and cute, and even though that's not often my cup of tea I still love everything they write) (X) Tresemme - Twyd [M, 2k words] L x Light slash. Set when they are handcuffed. Light just wishes L would dry his hair properly. He takes matters into his own hands. -(understated bittersweet fluff-smut) (X) Brilliant Bodies Disintegrate - Tartpants [E, 5k words] "L gives Light flesh made fact. L is the wayward flock for him to tend -- he’s Lucifer, the dawn-bringer, delivering light back to Light. Put bluntly, L’s the one who keeps shit interesting." -(L keeps being a big ho and making Light jealous on purpose to goad him into some rough sex-having, basically? Good if you liked that aspect of Nights...) (X)Trash Note - Tartpants [E, 3k words] "The character whose name is written in this note shall obey the writer’s every trash whim, no matter how out-of-character, preposterous, unsavory, carnal, humiliating, or cracktastic." -(if you ever want some goofy handcuffs smut that isn't taking itself too seriously at some point...)

SOME LONGER CANON UNIVERSE + LAWLIGHT FICS:

(X) Coexistence is Boredom - Sakurazukamori6 [M, 232k words] A new deathnote. A new plan for world sanctity. And an entirely misled Catholic clergy. Raito and L take their respective places on the sides of their own justice. A final battle waged in the Garden of Eden. -(This was my very fave Lawlight fic back in the 2000s, and a lot of it still holds up for me now and has a very special place in my heart even though it never actually got finished. I just love how L and Light and all the other characters are written in it, and appreciate that it can be angsty and suspenseful while still being funny and kinda lighter in tone for a canon universe Lawlight fic - it frequently makes me lol when I'm reading it. From what I remember it was the first fic that convinced me they'd potentially make a good couple beyond just unresolved sexual tension, too) (X) The Lies of Light Yagami - Kildeer [E, 38k words] “You’re pretty good Light, but I don’t see how you could hurt someone more with love than with death.” It was Light’s turn to smile as he leaned back in his chair. “Well then Ryuk, prepare yourself for a good show.” -(a bunch of missing scenes from the canon storyline, mostly smut. Very angsty and well done) (X) A Tithe to Hell - Aja [E, 34k words] Light has thirteen days to find out how it will feel--not just to kill, but to destroy. -(considered a fandom classic. I remember finding it intense and well-written, and that it also has a few interesting twists and turns) (X) Between the Black and White - Serria [M, 103k words] When L captures Light, he finds himself unwilling to relinquish his kindred spirit to the police, and instead has other plans to make Kira atone for his crimes. But the saga of Shinigami, genius intellect and old memories - BB - has only just begun. -(I haven't read it since it was new, and I don't think it ever got finished, but I remember this one being my fave of Serria's fics back in the day when I was a very fussy reader and only wanted to read fics set in the canon universe. Serria wrote a lot of great early Lawlight fics, and was my first friend in the fandom back in 2008 as well!) (X) A Cure for Love - halfpromise [M, 230k words] Light and L fall in love during the Yotsuba arc and Light's master plan is derailed when an assassin steals the Death Note. The threat of Kira is dwarfed when Kira's powers seem to have fallen into the hands of a terrorist organization known as Astraea and Light and L are united to find the culprit, but for how long... -(you've heard of the legendary Hinterland Doctrine fic series, now get ready for what I believe is halfpromise's very first fic? I don't think I actually read this whole thing so I don't know if it's finished, but I remember finding it fun to read her take on the canon characters too, and that what I did read had a pretty interesting plot and at times was quite funny as well)

Shittiest tiny fic draft for the zombie au ive been brainstorming… in my brain until now-

- death note zombie au, takes place after light regains his memories and is about to complete his plans to end L.. a zombie plague causes him to run (https://www.tumblr.com/possumproductions/743695287607066624/deathnote-zombie-au-what-if-in-response-to-kira for more info) - after 2 years of the apocalypse light finally returns to L looking to work together for a cure-

((Just had to get this out of my brain my god i wish i could say ill write more but who knows also no shade its sloppy pfft))

…..

“Well.. i cant say i saw this coming.”

Light kept his hands clasped together, fingers intertwined held on the back of his head. The masked figure stood with a gun pointed directly at lights chest, he heard his own breath catch in the silence… that voice…

“Light… Why are you here?”

There was a softness there, perhaps unintentional, but it was there.

The gun remained raised as the figure used his other hand to pull back the black mask, revealing stubble and eyes as dark as light could remember them, as if the years had been days.

“Hello L”

All he got back for that tepid response was an agonising sigh, his former enemy unable to control it.

“You better come in, a hoard will be here soon..”

The shriek of an alarm partnered with red flashing lights began just as L turned to walk inside, as if he’d activated them for effect.

Light stumbled forward, cautious yet determined to follow into the fortress.

He had little time to feel relief before the room turned pitch black, a large metal door slamming shut as soon as he passed its threshold.

“Ryusaki? What is this?”

A swift kick answered his call as Light fell to the floor with the unmistakable weight of a boot on his back. L pounced in the dark and locked Lights wrists into the oh-so-familiar shackles that clicked shut. He couldnt help it, he started chuckling at the irony, unable to contain himself in such a ridiculous moment. L grunted in anger, shoving him back down with a harsh jolt as he stepped back. The force cut light off and he managed to bite his own tongue, blood leaking out of his mouth and dripping onto the floor.

“Fuck, great to see you too!”

“Shut up.” L strode away up the metal steps that appeared as the overhead lighting flashed back on. Light just slumped in relief, feeling the cold metal on his cheek manage to stiffle the sharp pain in his mouth. This was still, out of all his previous imagined scenarios of the moment they met again, far far better than expected- for one thing L didnt shoot him, and he was inside away from the terror outside.

He gave L a good 15 minutes of peace, not wanting to risk his mind changing just yet. As he rolled on his side, he stretched and contorted to pull his arms under his legs and out in front of him. He felt like an old hat at this, the handcuffs barely causing trouble as he stood up smoothly. When he did eventually climb the stairs and round the corner to peer past the door frame, he saw L sitting beside what looked like a shuttered window. There was a pool of smoke lazily drifting to the crack in the glass, pulling it through and out into the evening air. He took another drag and spoke without looking at Light.

“Why… what are you doing here.”

It didnt sound like a question, or at least not one for Light to answer just yet, instead he offered his own.

“Arent you impressed i survived this long?”

Now it was Ls turn to laugh, he tried to cover it with a cough that got away from him, smoke spluttering out of his mouth.

“You never smoked before…” Light whispered.

L caught his breath, but then he turned to face Light as he spoke and the fond moment of familiarity disappeared, replaced with a cold expression of anger.

“Why. Are. You. Here.”

Light stepped back, cursing himself for retreating yet unable to hide it.

“I… well.” How the hell would he explain himself?

“Im waiting.”

Light paused, staring momentarily at the hands cuffed before him, looking up at the man who had continued to imprison and release him in an endless cycle.

“I need your help.”

[yagami-raito-kun]

Hello hello! @pennyblossom-meta here, I just read your 2014 analysis on Near and found it absolutely amazing. I know I'm very late in saying so, but thank you so much for your hard work. It can't have been easy to balance such extremely thorough research about autism, Near's own character and the deeply personal experiences or the feelings that can arise from this kind of reflection. There are parts of life that just leave us stumped or frustrated, and writing about them even through the eyes of another can be a challenging task, to say the least. Thank you, once again. I really appreciated your candor. Did you ever manage to write about L's side of the equation? I've been trying to find some meta on him, but there are many pages under your #deathnote tag and I couldn't situate myself very easily. Sorry! I'm writing my own fanfiction right now and would like to check out your thoughts on his character :) Could you link me some of your meta, please? I really love your fanfiction and how you write L, you're one of my favorite writers and an absolute inspiration! Have an awesome day

I never did get around to writing a meta analyzing L with regard to the autism criteria, unfortunately. There may be some L metas buried in my "#canon musings" tag, but one I strongly recommend is this one by @eyecicles!

The Challenge - A Lawlight Fanfiction

Hello lovelies! I have taken my previous 'fever fic' and have started editing and updating it. There won't be any grand changes to the plot, but the story will be overall more readable - and I made a pretty picture for the cover.

(If you're thinking- hey Winter, it's literally just coloured fire - I will respond with - fight me, it took me so effin long - I suffer graphically, mkay?)

But yes, here is the link to the Preface of 'The Challenge'

Rating: M

Summary:

Head Cannon Light: Two years ago, I married my best friend. Light: Misa is still mad about it, but me and L were drunk and thought it was funny.

This fic takes place over several years. From L and Light meeting while Light was in high school to them growing into actual full fledged adults. Together, Light and L play a lifelong game of challenges. From fire shots to general public humiliation, they deal with their life by being the smartest idiots.

Though it does deal with bigger subject matter such as mental health, internalized homophobia, referenced suicide attempt, and referenced violence - it is one of the lighter works I've written. Dare I say, it may almost be a comedy!

Dare I? I dunno, I hope you guys think it's funny.

Hello and sure!

Here you go!

[melishade]

This is super late lol.

Show by Ado: Do I understand the words? No, but she has a good singing voice and the music is a good ass bop.

Rounds by The Oh Hellos: I’ve been really getting into the band lately. I’d just recommend listening to their work in general. There’s just something so serene about it.

Stalemate Deathnote Musical:….honestly the musical just caused me to do the poll. But I just really like how the song captures the rivalry of L and Light.

Destruction by Tobe Nwigue: the lyrics hit. ‘Blessed to be blacker than an African, in a world where they tell me I’m inadequate’. And the beat is so awesome.

The End by Cody Fry: There’s a really good mix of classical and rock from his new song. Cody Fry is really good at musical composition.

Who’s next.

[my-one-true-l]

(WARNING : SPOILERS) So I've been thinking about this for awhile now, and you seem like you've been a fan of deathnote longer than me (I've been in the fandom for about 2-3 years) so I just want to ask you this. When Misa lost and got her memory back after about 6 months+, and she got that note from light that went along the lines of : So you know that guy I introduced to you at my college before you got kidnapped, well that was L, could you write his name down or let me know? Thanks. Then Misa was all like, sorry, I forgot, I get that she forgot, but nothing rang any bells? I'm not saying I'm the type of person for someone to tell me their first name and I then know who they are, but She couldn't be like "Hey, don't remember his full name, but I remember his first name is L" Not even that, but she didn't get any sense of Deja vu? Is she really dumb or is there more to it? Its probably just the author deciding L was his real name afterwards but I would like to know your thoughts and theories.

Hello Dear Questioning-Potato!

I think we're supposed to put a little too much faith in this:

I guess that we're supposed to think it got lost in the sea of names in her head? Ehhh...It's a flimsy explanation at best, especially when she says "Oh, Hideki was L!"

I mean, you're right. She was half way there and yet, it didn't seem to register that she saw an L over his head lol. I suppose she had been through so much and seen so many names it just didn't click for her.

My take? I've always felt that Ohba kind of lost interest once he decided to kill L, and it shows in his writing. It was convenient for plot and not much else.

[whateveralice-123]

Deathnote - Mu Chapter One lxlight 18+

L lay on the cold floor.

The room was dark, but you could see dim light around him, it was visible enough for him to make out a person in the darkness. The stranger slouched in his chair and sighed heavily. A glimmer of light shined faintly revealing the man's biker style clothing: red jacket, jeans, and leather boots but his face was shrouded with darkness. L could just about see his mundane expression as he got up from the floor peering closer. The man sat on his chair with his fist brought up to his chin appearing quite tired. He shifted his head lazily to the left surprised as he had not expected someone to be right in front of him especially not L of all people.

Leaning forward he stared at the peculiar man he used to know. The disbelief clouded his judgement and like that his eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. He simply could not believe what he was seeing; it had been his belief since day one that he would never see another human again. Yet here was the strange individual that he had not seen for years, 5 years in fact. He knew if it were not for their strong rivalry and his unique looks, L's face would have been forgotten completely.

"L... Are you real? " he stuttered lifting slightly from his seat as if he were seeing a mirage.

"Hello Kira-Kun," L answered avoiding his question whilst smiling. Light was puzzled and this pleased L greatly. He could not remember the last time he saw Light look this way.

"So, this is the place of nothingness," he added, looking around the desolate space. The room seemed to go on and on, clouded in complete blackness. Besides the one chair Light was sitting on as well as the side table with its vintage lamp which gave enough light to see one another it was a wasteland. L thought that though it appeared menacing in the dark with the little setup Light had it would be quite peaceful to relax and perhaps read a book. Or at least as peaceful as it could be here.

"It's pretty bland" Light stated nervously. Taking a deep breath he pointed to a replica of a chair that appeared in front of him.

L looked amazed, how was that possible, he was sure it was not there a second ago. No, he knew it was not there before.

"Please sit," Light said gesturing with his hands for the dark-haired detective to crouch in his seat, in the odd way he was known for doing.

"Kira-Kun please sit also," Light sat back down returning to his nonchalant behaviour. "Here I thought the justice driven L would end up in heaven but here you are" Light stated with a questioning look.

"Oh, don't act so sad about it am I really that bad?" L asked. "If you must know I wrote my name down before the Shinigami did, this made her efforts to kill me futile... I would also like to tell you that I did not appreciate that creepy smile Kira-Kun gave me," L exclaimed making Light roll his eyes. It had been so long since Light had seen him, yet he appreciated that the detective was still the same.

"You never change, do you? He chuckled lightly but L found it far from funny.

"You know I'm waiting, Kira-Kun," he says tapping his finger on the edge of the armrest. Light looked at him blankly

"For what?" he asked receiving a tired expression. The younger of the two sighed and took a large breath preparing himself to admit his defeat. "You were right as always I was Kira," Light answered.

"And" L moves his wrist for him to continue. Light raises an eyebrow and sighs again.

"You outsmarted me and survived... But then again you also died so we can hardly call that winning, can we? " he finishes, L opens his mouth to speak but Light shuts it as a Deathnote sits in his hand. "Hmm let's see here," Light flicks the pages to get to L's real name but before he could reach the end L grabs it. "How did you get this I destroyed it?" L asked concerned

"Oh, calm down I manifested it and it doesn't even take effect in here," Light explains.

L was well and truly stumped. He had to admit he never thought he would see Light again or anyone. L had felt miserable. The detective had had a shitty day he remembered he was counting the minute, dreading the thought of dying. He had expected that he would be briefly be alive and then dead, he would no longer exist. L believed he had seen everything in life, nothing ever confused him and he found no true excitement, no mystery could not be solved but ever since he met Light this had changed. He knew that from here on out it would only get stranger after all he was no longer in the real world anymore.

"Manifested?" he questioned squinting his eyes at the brunette, Light then placed two cups of hot tea on the table. He adds two sugars for himself and stops before asking

"It was 6 wasn't it?" he asked, L nodded astonished at the sight in front of him.

Light adds the sugar to the tea moving it toward his guest before taking a sip of his own. "I never knew how you could drink that. Isn't it all sludgy?" L became wide-eyed at Light's interest, he had never really commented on his behaviour all that much, it seemed funny that now he would question his actions.

"Would Light-Kun like to try?" Light gave the cup a pondering glance before looking back at L nodding. He takes the cup savouring the warmth with his hands.

"What happened to you calling me Kira-Kun?" Light asked.

"What? Would you prefer me to call you that?"

Light just shrugs the suggestion "Lights fine," he adds taking a sip and cringing at the so-called tea before passing it back to the amused L.

"I also favour Light to Kira, Light... was a friend to me,"

Light's cup slipped slightly from his finger making a loud clank, fortunately, it was not shattered to bits. Light was startled as he tried to steady his cup, he was looking at L as though he was speaking another language. It had been his sneaking suspicious the first time L had said that, that it was a farce, a ploy to intimidate or guilt him.

"You actually... like me? " Light asks sitting far back into his chair surprised.

"Of course, Light-Kun I liked you. Why didn't a tiny bit of you like me?" L asks amused.

"Well yes, Ryu... L... Well, I'll be honest I didn't like you one bit," He said whilst watching L's expression not change. "But thinking back now I have to admit there was something very endearing about you"

Light could remember all the moments where they would purposely annoy the living hell out of each other. It was only natural he thought, they both had such a strong character. He felt a bittersweet feeling in his stomach, he had never had such a strong interaction with anyone in his whole life. This was before he had met the infuriating detective and he remembered how he wished to squish him under his shoe. No one had ever gotten on Light nerves as much as he had. But his distaste toward L was all in the past and he knew that he deserved to be here. He didn't fault his own beliefs of killing those who deserved it but there were ever so many people caught involved that he had murdered in the process. Biting his lip, he continued to lose track of the man in front of him. This realization abruptly occurred in his mind as he awoke from his thoughts embarrassed that he was so caught up in his head. "Um, Ryuzaki... "

L looked at Light concerned before placing his finger under his chin raising his head up to face him. "It's Lawliet," L says smiling gently, knowing there was nothing to fear anymore. Light looked confused before he smiled cheekily

"Well really L? How in the hell would I have guessed that? " Light said chuckling.

"Oh, I'm sorry, would you have liked me to serve it up on a gold platter?" L says giving Light's notebook back. "Well now that you mention it," he says shielding himself before getting a playful hit on the arm. They both exchanged a smile and then L remembered the memento he had obtained.

"Oh here Light-Kun," he says removing the watch from his wrist and placing it in front of Light "Is that my …" Light starts. "Well now L, I never would have taken you as a grave robber," he says grinning.

"It's hardly stealing more like inherited," L stated. "I'm only sorry that I never repaired it," L exclaims feeling a strange sense of guilt, not only did the watch have a crack but it had also stopped ticking, simply frozen in time.

"Are you sure about that? It seems to be working just fine" Light asks. L leaned forward wide-eyed.

"Did you do that?" L asks pointing to Light receiving a cheeky expression. Light redirects his hand to the startled detective. Leaving L confused, he skimmed through the notebook "Ahh here it is L Lawliet. You wrote ... Will die quietly 23 days after Light Yagami's death." Light gave a scrawl towards L before sighing heavily. "It has only been 23 days since I died huh, feels like a billion," he says with a bored expression on his face.

"You know Kira-Kun when I think about it, I'm pretty annoyed at you. You are the reason we are stuck here in the first place. Not only that Watari is dead because of you," L states coldly. It had taken that self-absorbed expression on Light's face to remember this man was not truly his friend. How could you even consider him to be a friend for even a second, he questioned.

Light looked down again for the second time. Swallowing loudly, he scratched the back of his neck giving L an anxious look "I really don't know what to say... I fucked up I don't even know how it even got to this point." He exclaimed refusing to look at L.

"At first, when the Death Note fell to the ground, I used it to kill bad people. It was something that made me feel like I was making a difference. I couldn't stand seeing these people doing such disgusting things and always getting away with it. I remember my father coming home every night looking older and older after witnessing all these horrible cases. I remember the dread on his face sometimes when he had to go in. Although he wouldn't admit it, my father is... my father was proud and wouldn't have let anyone know how he truly felt. I knew exactly what the punishments were going to be. All those cases where they were let off or got it too easy, it was sickening. I had grown tired of seeing good people suffer whilst evil people lived, waiting to be released to only continue to be cruel. It was truly disgusting. The legal system did not make it better, releasing rotten people for good behaviour when those bad people didn't have the balls to behave badly. Then there was those who faked good behaviour to get out sooner. It was truly repulsive to watch!" Kira growled, feeling all of his rage resurface.

He had spent many days trying to get rid of these feelings. God knows he had tried ever since he was little to accept the fact there were bad people. But let's face it even from the beginning before he had tested the notebook's power, he was intrigued at the idea that it could actually work. In fact, he needed it to work.

Light had been damn near perfect at everything, but he had lost his sense of joy for relishing over his own achievements. But being Kira was different. He found that he would gladly kill for himself. This was for him; this was something that meant something to him! Not to his parents or "friends". Not to those girls that would count all his achievements as reasons why Light was the perfect package for them. He had found something that was important, something that made him feel alive, that brought peace of mind. But the last shred of his humanity died when he killed L. Lind Taylor, it was then that he murdered a man he believed to be innocent. He believed it was L and he remembered the anger he felt when the man had called him "evil" the anger was too much for him to bear and that's when he had thrown away his morals completely. He had not only ruined himself, but he was responsible for killing those who didn't deserve it, he had gotten his father killed, his sister kidnapped and sent to a psychiatric hospital and this, of course, hurt his mother, the woman who had only supported him and was proud of him. The guilt that he had swallowed, starting to come up his throat and he felt it choking him.

He breathed in slowly gaining composure "But that is no excuse to harm you or Watari and I know it's not much but I'm truly sorry," Light sorrowfully said feeling his guilt rest in his stomach. L looked at him blankly he could see the emotions registering on Light's face. He practically saw the words and thoughts Light had, he knew that Light was in pain, broken and was swimming in guilt. He always wondered when Light would sink, after all he had done so much wrong. He knew he must have been in a numb state of repression, but he knew Light had never let himself feel. Since he had met him, Light appeared to always be in fight or flight mode. Everything he said and did was done for the purpose of survival, he never slipped up, he never let himself show any emotions. L could not help but relate to Light. L had been solving crimes for years and from working on cases he knew they were far from rejoiceful. It had been sickening at times and he knew that it brought him in terrible states as well as contributed to his insomnia. He could not fault Light's feelings. L felt his anger dissolve and his desire to make Light feel better grew.

"Forget it Light-Kun, it is all in the past, "L says gently. Light raised his head as if to say something but found himself apologetically smiling. "Now Light-Kun I wish to know more about manifesting. Show me how to do it, I wish for something sweet,"

"Okay I'll try and help you," he said sitting up. "Close your eyes. Now think of the thing you want. Now imagine it is with you let your senses become involved, smell it, taste it. Now believe it is here... Did you want a smartie?" L opens his eyes to see a singular sweet.

"Hmm... only one," L scowls. Before picking it up and eating it, tsking. L looked irritated, he had wanted a bowl of them, and here he was with one. It wasn't the fact that L had only managed to get one that was annoying, it was the tired feeling that came with manifesting it. Light couldn't bear seeing L scrawl, it had made him think L was behaving cute, which would certainly not do.

"Dear Lord. Stop pouting. You've made one, didn't you? You'll get better with practice, as well as rest," Light states feeling warmth grow in his cheeks.

"Kira-Kun is very testy right now, is it that he thinks of my unsuccessful attempt as a reminder of his own failure?" L says smiling, to this Light does something L never expected he would do. Light had turned to him and stuck his tongue out

"Isn't that a little immature? " L laughs.

"Perhaps," Light says throwing a smartie at L

"Now Light-Kun no throwing," Light grins evilly

"I thought you wanted smarties," he asks making a bunch rain on top of L before bursting out laughing. L sits there stunned before retrieving the sweets and eating them "That was very naughty Light-Kun," L exclaimed waging his finger in front of Light. Before drenching cold water all over Light grinning at his triumph.

"Ughh, really L really!" he says feeling cold.

"Light-Kun should wear something else before he freezes to death" Light chuckles at him "Sorry L but we're already dead can't get any deader," he says starting to remove his clothes. "Can't Light-Kun make more appear on his body instead of changing?" L asks "Why? Does me undressing make you uncomfortable?" Light asks teasingly.

"No of course not I just wish to know," he answered closing his eyes and turning slightly to the side with a blush on his face. Light smiled "I have to remove my clothes to manifest new ones" he answers.

"You know you don't have to watch me I'm not your Kira suspect anymore," Light says almost singing it. L freezes before looking away realizing what he had been doing. Ha Light thought. "All finished," he adds. Turning to L's flushed face smiling to himself. Why was he so cute when he blushes Light questioned.

"You know L even though you're a stubborn pest, I kind of like you being around," Light said surprising himself. Did I really say that? He asked himself looking back up to L noticing his expression.

The look on L's face showed he was touched. Never had anyone said anything so nice to him. From hearing other people's opinions on him he could say their opinions had been more than unsatisfactory. He recalled Naomi Misora and what she had told him a couple of months before the Kira case. He remembered asking about his double Beyond Birthday, he was only curious. Beyond was a man that looked so incredibly similar to him. His actions, his quirks, and even the way he spoke were close to identical. To this question he had gotten the most critical and heart-wrenching answer that he had ever heard.

"Creepy and pathetic... if we divided everyone in the world into those that would be better off dead and those that wouldn't there's no doubt in my mind that he'd be the former. Such a complete freak that it amazes me he hasn't killed himself," Stated Misora.

It had made L feel inadequate and useless as if he were nothing. But here stood Light gleaming at him and complimenting him. He held his gaze at Light before rising from his seat embracing him. Light was frozen, but he soon regained control of his arms and hugged L back smelling the sweet scent in L's hair. Coconut? What an intoxicating smell he thought. Smelling his hair much deeper this time he found himself wanting to play with it. L's grip slightly tightened he had never really been the hugging type but the way he felt inside he knew he had missed out all those years. All that time staying alone but at this moment he had been struck by Lights words. Why? They weren't particularly sweet words.

"You know L even though you're a stubborn pest, I actually kind of like you being around". It was then he felt Light's fingers moving up towards his neck. "Light..." he started feeling Light's soft lips kiss his forehead. It had happened so fast L had wondered whether he had imagined it. L felt the chair distort and transform into a soft couch under him. Light moved the detective back, tracing his finger softly down his cheek. L felt a shiver along his spine as his head started to cloud over. Looking into Light's eyes he could see that they were clouded with something he had never seen before.

Hope you enjoyed please let me know ❤️

Death note 2

*******

“Light wait for me!” I say, running up to my best friend and jumping on his back.

“Ow, Chi you are a lot heavier than you look.”

I gasp and jump off, “That’s not funny Light Yagami!”

“Sorry,” he sends me a small glance with a little smile before leaning over and kissing my forehead.

I blush a deep red and look down at the ground, “Are you going to headquarters today?”

“Yeah, Ryuga wanted to go over some more things.”

“Ryuga? Is that another alias of his?”

“Yes, L has quite a few. If only we could learn his real name...”

I glance up at him, confused, “Why would it matter? Neither of us are Kira, plus I think it’s smart that he chooses to use an alias.”

“Chinami, it’s not about being Kira. If he completely trusts me than he should have no problem whatsoever with me knowing his real name.”

“Light, Ryuzaki is just being careful. No one else on the task force knows his real name. I think using an alias would be the best way to go, I know with being a very valuable detective and all, I would use an alias too, if I were in the same situation that is.”

He looks very taken aback, “Who’s side are you on in this Chi? I’ve been your best friend for years and you just met this guy a week ago. You two haven’t spoken a word to one another besides that one day and now all of a sudden you’re in love with the guy!

I gasp and cover my face, I am not in love with Ryuzaki! How could he say such an outrageous thing?

“I am not in love with Ryuzaki! Why would you say something stupid like that you big oaf?!” I yell, slapping his shoulder many times.

“You wouldn’t be acting like this if I said you were in love with Matsuda.”

“I’m not ‘in love’ with anyone! You know you’re such a jerk sometimes! I’m going back to my place. I’ll see you at headquarters.”

As I run the opposite way we were walking I hear Light shouting from behind me, “Chinami, you don’t even know if you’re allowed to be there!”

Once I arrive at my apartment, I run in and shut the door behind me. I’m seventeen and living on my own. My mother was killed in a car accident when I was a baby and my father left for America a few years ago. He told me not to worry, he’d be back. When I came home from school the next day, he was gone. I’ve been on my own since I was twelve. There’s no problem with it, I can take care of myself. I get a check every month that is supposed from my father but I don’t buy it. I don’t think he’s actually sending the money. But the money pays for the rent and all the utilities. I have some left over to buy food and after that a little for myself. I used to use it to buy clothes and things but I’ve been saving it.

“Stupid, stupid Light. He always says the stupidest things. I am not in love with Ryuzaki! I just met him. Of course I could hold a conversation with him but what would say if I did? I’d just make a fool out of myself.”

I walk into my bathroom intending to take a shower. I glance at the clock on my desk, 5:37 pm. Perfect. I have about half an hour to get ready before jumping on a bus to headquarters. I smile and proceed with my shower. I make sure to clean everywhere and shave. When I get out of the shower I smile at my reflection. Having self care days are what allow me to feel good about myself all of the time. Feeling good about myself, is my key to happy living. Especially when I’m by myself most of the time.

I get dressed in my usual black dress and stockings and I’m off to catch the 6:15 bus to headquarters. I smile at the driver as the bus doors open.

“Here’s my pass sir.”

“Thank you miss. You may sit anywhere you’d like.”

“Thank you sir.”

I sit in one of the front seats seeing as my drop off is one of the first ones. It takes about twenty minutes to get there. Once the bus arrives I stand up, ready to make my departure.

I turn towards the driver before stepping off the last step, “Thank you for the ride sir.”

“Of course, have a nice night young lady.”

“You too sir! Don’t push yourself too hard.”

I smile and wave as the bus driver pulls away. Turning around, I smile at the building before walking up to the doors. I pull on one of the handles but the door stays closed. Huh? I pull on it again, it doesn’t budge. I push and once again, no movement. I glance inside and notice an old man walking past the door.

“Hey! Hey wait! Sir could you let me in?” I knock on the door twice to get his attention.

He glances up at me, and walks towards the door. As he opens it, he speaks to me, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize anyone else was supposed to be showing up tonight.”

“No no it’s quite alright. Is Light inside?”

“Yes, but-“

“How rude of me! I’m sorry I never properly introduced myself. I’m Chinami Misora, and you are?”

He glances at me, “Watari.”

“Well it’s very nice to meet you Watari. I’m actually looking for the Kira Task Force. Would you happen to know where they are?”

“Why, yes. I could take you to them.”

“I would very much appreciate that.”

I follow the old man down a set of hallways.

“You shouldn’t introduce yourself to everybody. Real names and faces are dangerous right now.”

I glance at the man, “Huh?”

“Kira, he needs a name and a face. That’s all. They figured that out last meeting. I just want you to be careful. You seem like such a nice girl.”

“Thank you very much Watari. Are you saying I should use an alias?”

“I wouldn’t say a complete alias. A shortened version of your name will do.”

“Chi? Hm Chi Misoni?”

I hear him hum, I suppose that’s a sound of approval.

“Chi?”

“Yes Watari?”

“Would you help me with this tray of sweets?”

I turn towards the man to see him grabbing a tray off of a cart. The tray has many chocolate covered strawberries along with cupcakes on it.

“Are those for Ryuzaki?”

He nods his head.

“Could I- could I try one?”

“Of course.”

I smile and grab a strawberry from the corner of the tray. As I bite the tip of the strawberry a mixture of sweet chocolate and strawberry juice fills my mouth. Strawberries just so happen to be my absolute favorite.

“Mmm these are really good. I think Ryuzaki will love them.”

“Yes, he does have a particular taste for strawberries.”

“So do I! They’re my favorite.”

I see Watari form a small smile, “Alright let’s bring these to L.”

We walk down a few more hallways before Watari opens a door. I peek around him to see Light, L, Chief Yagami, Matsuda, Aizawa, and a few others from the task force.

“Ryuzaki, you have a visitor.” Watari says, stopping.

“Huh?” Ryuzaki turns to look as us, “Oh hello, you’re back.”

“Um,” I walk towards L and set the tray of strawberries in front of him, “These are for you. Watari said to bring them to you.”

He looks up at me and gives me a small smile, “Yes thank you, I quite enjoy strawberries.”

“Chinami! What are you doing here? I told you that you weren’t allowed to come!” Light says, pushing me away from L and standing between us.

“I- I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to intrude I just-“

“Light,” starts Ryuzaki, “move aside please.”

Light looks behind him at Ryuzaki and glares but steps aside none the less.

“Chinami, come closer.”

I take a deep breath and step towards L, “Yes Ryuzaki?”

“What do you think about the Kira case? I’d love to see how you feel about this whole thing. I will stay here and go over the notes that we have with you. Than I will ask you for your thoughts and I want you to be honest about everything.”

I nod my head and give him a small smile.

“Alright, Matsuda grab a chair for her, you are all dismissed. You may all go home.”

“No way!”

I turn around to look at Light.

“No way in hell am I letting her stay here with you Ryuzaki! For all I know you’ll question her about me and then she’ll feel uncomfortable here. I don’t trust you with her.”

“Light I’ll be fine, Ryuzaki doesn’t scare me. I promise I’ll be okay.” I say, walking up to Light and hugging him. As I move away I feel him kiss my forehead.

“Are you sure? I’ll stay I don’t-“

“No Light, I’ll be fine,” I lean up to kiss his cheek, “thank you though.”

I see a light blush form on his cheeks. He nods and let’s go of me. Most of the other team members have left. I wave to Light and his father as they walk out. Turning back to L, I find him already looking at me.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” I say, hurrying to sit in the chair beside him.

“No need to apologize, I was just thinking.”

“Thinking? About what?”

“Your relationship with Light. Is he usually like this? Very protective of you. How deep are your feelings for each other?”

“Oh,” I glance at the floor, my face turning a bright red, “um Light is just my best friend. I did sort of have a crush on him a while ago but I don’t feel anything like that anymore. I’m not sure about Light though, every time I say your name he gets mad at me and-“

“You two talk about me?”

I look up, my cheeks even hotter, “No that’s not what I meant! I-“

“Hey,” he touches my chin, “that’s alright. Calm down. How about we begin going over the case?”

“Mhm.”

I see Watari smile out of the corner of my eye.

“Um L?”

He turns his head towards me, “Yes?”

“Can I- can I have one of the strawberries? I’m sorry to ask but they are my favorite treat.”

I look over at rhe half eaten tray and wonder when he ate all of those. He smiles before picking one up and handing it to me.

“Thank you.” I say, sucking on the chocolate.

“Alright, so about Kira...”

Survival (closed)

@warofchanges

Death was as inevitable as the sunrise, but it wasn’t L’s time. Or maybe it was. It certainly didn’t stick. The last thing the detective remembered was a searing pain in his chest and staring up at Light Yagami before everything went black. Next thing he knew was he was waking up in a hospital and the nurse told him he had been there a month.

The shinigami Rem had written down his true name in her DeathNote, but the reason of L’s survival goes back atleast a decade before any of this. L was orphaned at a very young age and was always ill. In his youth L had a weak immune system and had multiple small heart attacks, it was because his heart didn’t develop properly before he was born. When he was old enough to have major surgery his heart was partially replaced by an artificial one with AI technology to keep it beating steady like any normal healthy heart. Before the power of the DeathNote could stop L’s heart, maybe by just a split second, the device’s failsafe kicked in to stop the heart attack from killing L.

The power of medical science had saved the detective from the supernatural power of the DeathNote, but the artificial part of his heart had to be replaced. Which was why he had been in the hospital for so long, the doctor had put him in a drug induced coma to safely monitor the new device on his heart. When L had first taken on the Kira case he honestly wasn’t sure that he would survive one of the mysterious heart attacks. It was a miracle. Then why did it feel like he didn’t deserve to be here?

Even though he was alive Kira was the true winner here. They where playing this game and L was the one to fall. It was difficult at first to accept, but he had no choice but to. He couldn’t keep fighting even if he had the strength to. This was Kira’s world now. Eventually L was able to get ahold of a laptop and was able to update himself of the state of the world and check in on the task force. He learned of Watari’s death and that the task force was disbanded due to Kira being worldly accepted as it’s god of Justice and Order. This all thanks to ‘L’ giving in to Kira, Light had taken over the identity of L and let the world think that the world famous detective had given up. This lead to the rest of the world fall into line.

All along L was right, Light was in fact Kira. The detective never thought he’d regret being right. It made his heart hurt but it wasn’t physical pain, his heart ached out of love. L had never been close to anyone, he had been alone for many years without a single friend. Then working with Light, despite trying to out him as Kira, he grew close to the young man. The detective had thought about admitting his feelings that night in the rain and would have if it wasn’t for the whole almost dying part.

It took some more recovery and courage for the former detective to confront Light. The headquarters was no longer used since there was no task force any more and Light probably had wanted his own space. It wasn’t too hard for L to track him down, after all he knew Light very well after observing him and spending time handcuffed to each other. When he did find Light L observed him for a day, wondering if he even should come forward. As he thought more L realized how alone he was now and it truly frightened him. Light was the only one who mattered to him, it was worth the risk of being killed again because a life alone is not one he wanted.

L knocked at the door to Light’s home and kept his head down until he heard the door unlock. He looked up to meet the other’s gaze, his grey eyes hopeful like those of a stray dog waiting for someone to show compassion. “Hello Light.”
