Summary
We’re children, B wished he could retort. But it wouldn’t solve anything to say that. Such a defense would be considered blasphemy here, since IQ tests holding promising results had been done on all the children participating in the successor program. However, “participating” wasn’t quite the right word. Sure, you could always choose if you wanted to join or not. But once you did, you weren’t allowed to leave.
~~~
Beyond and A are tasked with preparing Mello and Near to be L’s successors. But when you really think about it, this whole situation is kind of messed up, isn’t it?

Summary
The sound of a gunshot still rang in my ears when I woke up.
It was wrong. All wrong.
The grey sky above me was wrong. The noises that reached me through the ringing were wrong. The light rain that fell unimpeded on my body was wrong.
The fact I woke up at all was wrong.~~
A time-travel fix-it fic where an original character, carrying truckloads of trauma, navigates new relationships, old relationships, second chances and self-discovery.
In other words, a story of healing, family and forgiveness. -

Summary
“I will say,” L shoved a larger chunk of cake into his mouth than before, and continued speaking with his mouth full, “ I am disappointed that Watari never said anything to me about the two of you. Successors, labeled Alternative and Backup, A and B, just to follow my title and positioning.” Beyond scoffed, folding his arms and leaning back in the chair while shutting his eyes. If the world’s greatest detective was going to sit like that in front of them barefoot, B doubted he would be scolded for leaning back this way.
“Imagine how we feel.”
“I do.”

OR
Beyond and A try to convince L to talk to them by giving him cake. They succeed.
(I’m only half joking)

Summary
“Watari, I have a secret,” L chokes out through a teary voice and shaky sniffles.
Watari quirks an eyebrow, and decides to question further. Whatever it is, it’s bothering L enough to bring him to tears.
“What might that be?”
“I’m a monster.” The little boy sobs, curling in on himself. L sounds so sure of himself, as always. Watari finds himself hoping L is wrong, just for this.

or:
Baby L has a breakdown and Watari helps out and everything is okay for a little while. -

Summary
What if, instead of killing Light when Near defeated him, Ryuk sent him back to the past?
Light had been attracted to L the moment he saw the detective. The killer thought the other man was hot, even though he was always exhausted and emotionless. However, he was in his way, and Light had to kill him. Though he didn’t kill him himself.
Then, Near came. The white haired boy reminded Light of L with every movement he made: the way he walked, the way he spoke, the way he sat, the manias he had,… but there were two problems; Near was his enemy, and he was in love with the late Mello and the late Matt.
Finally, Near defeated him, and Light was about to get killed by Ryuk. However, the Shinigami offered him a deal. Light traveled to the past but he had to give up the Death Note. That excited Light, who instantly accepted.
But now…what was he supposed to do, now that he was back not before he picked the Death Note up, but the moment of Near’s birth, being a five years old himself? And why was a thirteen years old L sitting next to him?

Summary
Ryuk drops the Death Note ten years earlier.
It doesn’t change much- Light still picks it up and becomes Kira. L is still the detective investigating him, and Misa is still obsessed with him.
The end result still somehow changes
(or: My try at the fic where everyone is younger, except I make it extreme and do 10 years instead of 5-6)

Summary
The people who had dared to call themselves “family friends” had gathered at the church as the bells rang throughout the town; their black winter coats glazed with freshly powdered snow and their brimmed hats hiding their eyes. The boy doubted any of them cared for the woman who called herself his mother. They were here out of pity for him.

Summary
After a decade as a detective prodigy, a teenage L finds himself in New England pursuing cases across the sea. Seeking out a pastry shop in the snow, L meets a young woman on the street that won't leave his mind. When he sees her again at the scene of a murder, he knows he has a new fixation to chase.
A reader-insert story set pre-Kira, where an eighteen year old L sets a new headquarters in America after establishing his career in England. A slow burn story exploring L and the reader's relationship as friends and maybe as more. The reader has a complex background that is slowly revealed over the course of the story, and is female-coded, so it may be limiting to some reader's appeal. Discusses dark subjects such as murder, homelessness, human trafficking, and abuse. These topics are handled in a canon-typical manner, but proceed with caution if these topics may trigger you, each chapter will have warnings at the beginning.
(Let me know if L seems too out-of-character at any point! It's difficult imagining a teenage L awkwardly dealing with romance and still keep him aligned with his actions/personality in Death Note.)
