    Summary

    The moment Light writes in the death note he becomes a killer, but he could not become Kira without L. (L/Light, slow burn — Yotsuba Arc with all the mind-games intact)

    "The thing about getting rid of useless pride is that it is a scaffolding built of years. It takes more than the work of a moment; though you are begging in the windowless cell. What was I thinking, putting myself in here? You don’t remember. It’s beginning to disturb you, how much you don’t remember; although when you close your eyes and follow the trail—one event follows upon the other just as you had expected it to; and you can even recall the first time Kira killed, when all you saw was a reporter’s face through the screen of your TV. It was the end of your boredom, because though you were nothing but a spectator to the great battle, you already felt how Kira and L would pull you along in their wake just as any battle between titans would (because you would stand within the event horizon, if only to get closer).

    Perhaps that is where you are now. In the quiet dark within the black hole, where your self, gaunt and unfamiliar to you, has already irrevocably been altered. (Suspect. Name: Yagami Light.)"

    Summary

    With Misa and Light now imprisoned and monitored for the foreseeable future, L is ready to work on another case on the side. But because L is busy with the Kira case, in the world's eyes, he investigates this new killer as Eraldo Coil. The world dubbed this new killer 'The Jigsaw Killer', and L can't say he isn't at least a little intrigued.

    However, things do not go according to plan at all..

    Summary

    “The chain isn’t long enough for you to be outside the room,” L repeats for the third time. “I’m sorry.”

    “It’s fine. I get it.” Light drags his hand over his face. “I’ll be fine.”

    “I’ll give you noise-cancelling headphones,” L offers. He’s already texting one-handed to ask Watari where those are. “And you can sit on the floor so you don’t have to feel the bed move.”

    Light crosses his arms, visibly fighting down something sarcastic. “If you can give me headphones, you can give me a blindfold, too.”

    “Why?” L widens his eyes at him. “All you have to do is not watch.”

    prompt: "au where beyond is alive but still in prison. he and L have an established (though unhealthy) relationship where they have filthy d/s phone sex all the time. L continues to do this even while chained to light, who is like? can you please do this somewhere else? some other time???? but then he gets sort of into it"

    Summary

    The only thing that makes life bearable for Light is the Kpop idol Beyond Birthday. His world has shrunk to the little glowing window of his phone, where he spends his days watching Beyond’s videos, re-reading his words, and defending him online from the legions of people who don’t understand that he’s the most important person on Earth. Perhaps his closest remaining relationship is with his online nemesis, L, who loves Beyond too, but loves him all wrong. When L spontaneously shows up at his cupsleeve event, he finds his world begin to widen.

    or

    L and Light are the most toxic Kpop fans in the universe.

    “You have to promise to take care of yourself.” Light knows these words like a prayer, and he repeats them in the rhythm of Beyond’s voice, lilting, falling into itself. “The world is a difficult place, but you have to promise that no matter how hard it gets you’ll think of me and stay. You have to survive at all costs."

    Summary

    K and L have just met, but they must part ways once more, trapped into the roles they have chosen for themselves. Light and Misa also play their part, so well they often can't remember where the mask ends and their true essence begins. Is there still something there, buried under all those layers of lies and false smiles?
    While the Kira investigation slowly proceeds, in the US the Wammy's Homies are ready to overthrow the whole world. They are stronger when they are together, and help will come from the most unexpected of them all.

    "Sometimes family is not the one whose blood runs through your veins. Sometimes the blood is the one you are all soaked in."

    Summary

    Light wasn’t sure how or why it had happened. Tsuki was a stillborn baby. He was, for all intents and purposes, dead. He didn’t exist for anyone else, aside from Light himself. There was no one else who could see, hear or touch him. Tsuki, himself, couldn’t interact with the material world too much without using tremendous amounts of energy that left him weak and translucent, edges blurring into the background for hours afterwards.

    And yet, he had grown up right by Light’s side for all these years.

    °°°
    “Is that why you dropped this? To see what a human would do with it?”

    Ryuk rolled over on his back and fixed those bulbous red eyes on the twins, the image somehow even more disturbing upside down.

    “Perceptive, aren't ya, kiddo?” His smirk got impossibly wider. “Soooo…ya gonna use it? Either of you, I'm not picky!”

    ******
    Or, what if Death Note happened, but Light was an L fanboy and had an identical twin named Tsuki to keep him sane

    Summary

    After their conversation in the rain, Light decided he wouldn't kill L yet, not until he was fully convinced that Light was cleared of any and all guilt, finally barring Light from any future suspicion. Only then would he kill L and continue on to create his perfect world unhindered. In order to achieve this, however, he had to kill an inmate he didn't know the name, face, or location of, and with no death note. He simply had to lose his memories again, relying on Rem, the shinigami who disliked him greatly, and Misa, an impulsive airhead. But they hadn't failed him last time, and now he just had to not fail himself.

    -

    L had seen Light seemingly change his demeanour repeatedly throughout their time knowing of one another, from his cagey, carefully crafted responses, to his passionate outbursts. It was almost like a switch was being flipped back and forth, and at the moment, as L awaited the results of his 13 day rule experiment, Light is back to being wide-eyed and 'innocent.' Only this time, there is something else there that L can't quite yet identify. He knows Light has a plan, and L has to figure it out and prove once and for all that Light is Kira. ... Right?

    Summary

    Tsuki Yagami has always been a star student, an obedient daughter, a pleasure to have on the court. When she is informed by a tennis coach that she’s breaking the summer camp’s dress code by wearing shorts instead of a skirt, her first thought is that she should change. But then she finds herself captivated by L, the weird kid who refuses to wear anything other than his white shirt and jeans.

    It suddenly feels possible to break the rules when there’s someone else doing it with her.

    Summary

    Here he is in the dusk, making sure his sheep has a happy life before he brings it to slaughter. He’s leading him by the chain down and down the stairs of his building.

    Chained together in his vast nearly-empty building, L begins to wonder if Light is autistic. He wonders, also, what the purpose of bringing up such a thing might be when their burgeoning friendship can only end in execution or murder.

    Summary

    Y/N doesn’t believe in love anymore.
    Not since her parents died, not since she took over their bakery, and definitely not since she started selling takoyaki to middle schoolers for 10 yen out of sheer emotional exhaustion.

    She’s sarcastic, sleep-deprived, and barely holding it together behind the register of Oishi Bakery, a tiny shop that smells like sugar, grief, and trauma-coping. But when a weird man with dark circles and worse posture starts showing up every day to buy strawberry shortcake—and gets himself banned for crimes against fruit—things begin to spiral.

    That man is L.
    Yes, that L.

    And somehow, even as he obsessively watches her through traffic cameras and sends his associates in to retrieve cake intel, he finds himself captivated—not just by the pastries, but by the woman throwing forks at him.

    Summary

    That dark stare, blank like the cloudy night sky covering the wonderful moon. “You seem lonely, have you ever thought about kids, Light?” L asked, finger on his lip, eyes never wavering from Light’s face. The black-haired man fixed himself on his cushioned chair.

    “L we are both men, besides would we even care for it?” Light took a sip of the sugarless camomile tea, the cup decorated in apples and greenery of many kinds, avoiding contact with those fish eyes. “ And certainly we can't adopt we would have to fill out documents and surely it would be too much compromise for our identities and location”

    “That's true..” The sound of sipping made Light steal a few glances forward, L was drinking the hot cocoa so obnoxiously loud, for a moment it made Light's ears sincerely agonize. “However I was not speaking about adoption, you don't seem the type of guy who would accept that Light, I always imagined you as a bloodline person” L then put down the clear white mug.

    What's your plan L? You got everything you wanted from me. What path are you deciding to take? “I don't get it”
