Summary
The opportunity to shape the perfect world, free from crime and corruption, fell into his hands and he’ll be damned before he lets that power slip through his fingers.
It’s perfectly reasonable—understandable really, given the number of names he writes each day—that he can’t keep track of all of them.

Summary
L knew plenty about manipulating public perception of events, both for the common good and for his own purposes. Getting control of the story would be key, as with anything involving the masses. He was justice in their eyes.
Obvious, senseless killing didn’t make sense.

Summary
L was one of the smartest people on the planet, so obviously schoolwork came easily to him. It didn’t matter that he was a recent transfer student. That was the least of his stressors. The main problem was that he was the world’s most feared (and worshipped) mass murderer. Or rather, the hero saving this world.

Summary
L never thought ahead much other than the steps he would need to take to be both successful in his cases and in getting the few things he wants on occasion. L definitely never thought that there would be something worse than the injustice and the killing that Kira was doing. He certainly never thought that he would hate something enough to confide in his enemy and he never thought that he would lose that one thing that gave him a sense of purpose.

Growing up around each other, they bonded very well over it. From when they first became friends in elementary school, all the way to their final year of highschool, they had planned on becoming detectives together. That was, until one fateful day completely changed the course of their lives.

Summary
But geniuses were fickle creatures. Geniuses got bored. And L was incredibly bored. No case had really, truly challenged him since Beyond’s (another person was framed for that fiasco as well, and L made sure they stayed locked away. He never claimed to be a particularly moral person, he did what served him).
That’s when Beyond had the brilliant little idea to make a case out of the book. To make the police chase them this time. To watch them flounder and fail. To step in and catch the killer. To play the ultimate game.

If L and Beyond had caught Gelus' eye instead of Misa and subsequently received his death note before Ryuk even got the chance to drop his

Summary
Detective Parse Peralta thought he’d be able to surpass even the legendary L- after all, he had learned from the best, and there’s no better motivator than vengeance. However, when a rash of accidental deaths begin plaguing suspects in several detectives' cases, and Parse's own dark past seems to have an uncanny connection to the phenomenon, he has no choice but to chase after a killer in hopes of clearing his own name and bringing the truth to light.
Oh, if only things were so simple.
An “L is Kira” AU that begins before the LABB case and torches the entirety of canon. No OCs involved.
