light looking in the mirror

#dn light #somebody draw this #misa wrote it #learned that light was cheating on her #with l of course #does this count as lawlight #i guess

The idea of Light having a some sort of unreciprocated crush on L is so fucken funny to me because that bitch could've pull ANYONE instead he choose that one unkept detective that no one wants and still manage to fumble the goddamn bag

@nebulamist (Long answer so I couldn't reply directly so POST DUMP TIME)

Matsuda doesn't send the tapes! He's not quiiite as bold as Misa, plus he's also not quite as impatient, so the thought doesn't really occur to him.

Instead, since he's closer to Gelus than Misa was to Rem, and L's already narrowed down the region for him, he sends Gelus off house to house to find the other Shinigami. From there Matsuda moves in to meet Light :D ...And subsequently subtly threaten him into a relationship. Ah, Love!

As for if he gets confined,,,,ehh yes and no.

They don't have reason to suspect a second Kira until later; specifically when L discovers Matsuda and Light are dating. Or, the fact that they're not dating in secret. L gets suspicious of Light suddenly not giving a shit about other people's opinions enough to come out of the closet, much less with an older, famous boyfriend that he now spends a LOT of time with at said boyfriend's very unmonitored house. Then he takes another look at the killing patterns and susses out the scent of another Kira. He narrows down the date of when Matsuda started killing, along with the fact that a lot more criminals with misspelled names have been dying, and then reveals his suspicions to the Task Force under the guise that Matsuda is just another Kira suspect.

They bring Matsuda in and put him in a cell, but it's nothing so bad as Misa's, and they don't torture him because L has far less evidence to lean on with Matsuda and he can't justify it. BUT that also means that Matsuda doesn't give up his Death Note—and, as a consequence, neither does Light. Though he does still (eventually) also submit himself to confinement to free Matsuda at Gelus's uuhh behest.

#matsumisa swap #matsuda touta #yagami light #matsulight #death note #l lawliet #gelus #L does eventually bring up the fact that there's a second Kira but only after Matsuda's been confined long enough that the kill count has #dropped back down to Kira's original numbers #because now he has plausible suspicion for the others #and of course this also means that L and light get more time together one on one #.....should i mention the fact that there's also lawlight in this au? i feel like i should #it's just not the point of contention lmao

last line challenge + self rec challenge

(tagged by @argetcross and @wolffyluna respectively thank you my friends)

Last line rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote or drew and tag as many people as there are words some people (borrowing tagger's rules).

When was the last time L had been touched by anyone at all? It must have been years ago now, if you didn’t count Watari. L swallows. His throat feels detached from the rest of him. He can feel his pulse hammering away, evidently still in the throes of that panic attack. How strange. Does his heart, working so diligently to keep him alert and awake and alive, know its beats are numbered and dwindling? Does it care? Light’s hand settles on his back, then slips uncertainly around his shoulders. L realises he is being hugged. “Oh,” he says.

(this is an au. lol)

self-rec rules: when you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five some other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💞

these are heavily weighted towards my most recent works lmfao

"as you like it" persona 5, akeshu. my running longfic and favourite child. akechi has a palace au, ren pov, the manifestation of everything i've ever tried to push myself to achieve creatively

"man's best friend, et cetera" (trigun spoilers) trigun, vashwood. years after wolfwood's death, vash meets a dog and can't banish the thought that he seems familiar

"aquascaping" hades/iliad/tsoa/etc, patrochilles. modern au where achilles runs out on his failing relationship with patroclus and gets a pet fish to cope and learning to take proper care of a pet fish definitely isn't a metaphor for anything.

"telltale" (death note spoilers) death note, lawlight. after L dies, light begins to have recurring nightmares about being in a sickly sweet domestic relationship with him. i wrote this on a plane.

"chatoyant" death note, lawlight also. fake dating where they start out mutually aware they're using each other for the investigation but then light loses his memories and thinks it's real, and L has to deal with that. i wrote most of THIS in a meeting at work!

tagging: arget and wolffy i'm cheating so pls do the other meme that you haven't done yet if you would like to. also @stygiusfic, @supremesanada, @toushindai, @joshriku and anyone in the world who sees this post pls do either meme or both as you please <3

#rookposting #i wont tag individual fandoms lol dont want to clog the tag #long post #everything i write turns into like. metaphor for grief. little animals as metaphor for grief

✨some of my favorite short fics for comment fest's ~flavor of the day~ (<2k word count)✨

now with plentiful nearlymellodramattic and trans representation!

wholesome faves:

superfly by Tierfal (666 words / T) (hehe) "matt, mello, and near have a nice, inexplicable-AU-ish day off." very adorable and funny peek into the triad's relationship.

fireworks somewhere far away by neallo (1,996 words / T) extremely sweet and fluffy look at fem!meronia on vacation. love confessions, girls kissing, acts of service, and more!

smutty faves:

let me work on you by avoidfilledwithcelluloid (2,016 words / E) (shh it's close enough) "[trans] light and L make a deal and light ends up losing. he's got to comply with whatever request L makes but his challenge doesn't quite end at his lap desk duties." 10/10 trans!light and dom!L representation.

date night by Mihaelgayhl (1,332 words / E) "one night a month matt demands a date night, something mello sees as a tedious chore, unless he can convince matt to forget about it." i don't care what anyone thinks, dom!mello and sub!matt will forever have a firm grip on my throat.

spell by squidish (1,421 words / E) "a lazy afternoon in july." simultaneously wildly sweet and smutty trans!near (he/him), trans!mello (she/her), and matt. this one is like top 5 all-time-faves for me.

heat of the moment by coprinus_atramentarius (1,442 words / E) "L hogs the blankets in their cold-ass hotel room, and when light complains, L drags light's hand down to the hot, hot heat between his legs" T4T LAWLIGHT!!! steamy asf and also very cute.

time and time again by anonymous (613 words / E) "near does not know why he comes back every time." v hot nearlymellodramattic smut that's also sweet and fluffy.

long distance by smallestbird (432 words / M) "mello's bored, and matt's clearly not even listening to him." shortest on the list but packs a punch! surprise nearlymellodramattic phone sex while mello's out of town for work.

#i hope someone finds something new to enjoy! #now show these authors some love <3 #just leave a comment fest #dn #death note #death note fanfiction #lawlight #nearlymellodramattic #meronia

[our-summer-is-winter]

mikami, L and misa for the ask game!!

Thanks for asking! So much stuff to dive into.

Mikami

1. Sexuality headcanon: I see him as either gay or asexual and aromantic. I can't imagine him with a woman honestly. A lot in a "you're gay because you like men, I'm gay because I hate women, we're not the same" kind of way. I also think he's totally the type to repress his sexuality because "I'm not like those people, I'm normal".

2. OTP: Mikalight does it to me. They're made for each other.

3. Brotp: I don't know?? Honestly I can't imagine Mikami being bros with anyone... Maybe except some corporate parties (and only when he's soberen't), and all of this just for show.

4. Notp: him x Gevanni. Just... not. They got nothing in common and absolutely zero chemistry, at least to me.

5. First headcanon that pops into my head: he's a fountain pens collector. He owns a handful of very rare and expensive ones.

6. Favorite line from this character: "delete. Delete. Delete.".

7. One way in which I relate to him: honestly Mikami's childhood is just the story of my life (minus dead mother part, thankfully). I think we're really similar in some ways, even thought admitting this is painful.

8. Thing that gives me second hand embarrassement about this character: how blindly he follows Light and how willing is he to make himself less for him. Honestly I think Mikami being quite cringe is the whole point of his character. Like, at first sight he's this really collected and serious man, but deep down he's really unhinged.

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave: problematic fave.

L:

1. Sexuality headcanon: he's bisexual in my heart - and this kind of bisexual that is "bad queer rep". Horny on main, leaving his man only to run away with a woman and woman to run away with man, wants to have everything all at once. If he was female, he would be "I kissed a girl and I like it" kind of bisexual.

2. OTP: I'm a normie Lawlight enjoyer. The subtext is hard to ignore.

3. Brotp: him x Aizawa. Mind says "no", but heart screams "yes".

4. Notp: Lawtsuda. I know it's just puppyshipping of Death Note fandom, but what the fuck.

5. First headcanon that pops into my head: Watari once tricked him into eating a tomato. "Tomato is a fruit", he said. They spend next few hours arguing is it factual or not.

6. Favorite line: "if it's an act, it's way too corny...".

7. I relate to him because: he's weird and not very social. Also both early bird and night owl.

8. Thing that gives me second hand embarrassement: his attempts to fit right between Misa and Light and be "hip with the youths". Also does washing machine episode counts

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave: problematic fave

Misa

1. Sexuality headcanon: I'm torn. I think she's straight, but she also gives me some femme lesbian vibes?¿? Comphet is a hell of a drug, my dear. I don't mean to say she didn't actually love Light, but... I don't know, the way she's loving him is so weird. I think if Light was a girl she would still be equally as desperate for him honestly

2. OTP: her x Kiyomi. Bonus points if they're joining forces to screw Light for treating them both like a trash. Seriously though, I think it would be hilarious if instead of fighting they would team up and be the ones to kill Light with a death note in the end. That would be quite an ending, would it be

3. Brotp: I know L was just pretending to be her friend for the sake of investigation, but I like to see the world burning. The worsties. Two friends who are friends by the name only, bringing the worst of each other.

4. Notp: her x Rem is just painfully boring.

5. First headcanon that pops into my head: she's a die-hard Evanescence fangirl. She adores Amy Lee.

6. Favorite line: "Light! ❤️" Just this alone.

7. I relate to her because: I'm also totally clueless in social situations and blind for subtle hints lol. And I'm very touchy-huggy person too.

8. She gives me second hand embarrassement because: let's be real, she's quite a dumbass. Also her "I think it's weird for men to be with each other like this" comment...

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave: problematic fave.

9 People You Want to Get to Know Better

i was tagged by @ratbefriender & @thisisfullofcringe ♡

1. Three Ships

lawlight is really the only ship that i'm deranged about honestly but i will also list viktuuri and tododeku. OH and beymane i was beymane-pilled recently.

2. First ever ship

i honestly and truly have NO idea - before i got into manga i was much more into gen fic and non ship related fan content!

3. Last song

heaven's gate - fall out boy, most underrated fob song!! it's so good!!!!

4. Last movie

turning red, which was delightful but emotionally destroyed me and made me cry for an hour after it was over

5. Currently reading

dark places - gillian flynn, notes from underground - dostoevsky, & memory police - yoko ogawa. someone recently told me that they 'didn't take me for a big reader' which is really weird to me because i always have at least 3-4 books on rotation and i majored in literature so. reading is morally neutral as an activity, but i thought it was really weird to be perceived so incorrectly lmao

6. Currently watching  

noragami aragoto (again) i really love noragami i wish it was more popular

7. Currently consuming

does water count? at least it's not cold brew or diet coke, please clap!

8. Currently craving

i really want panipuri...where i grew up has some of the best indian food in the whole US & there's nothing on that level where i live now even though it's only like 40 mins away hahah

tagging whoever wants to do this lmao i never know if people are into these things! i like them but i don't want to annoy anyone!

Lawlight time-travel fix-it if you haven't already done it yet?

(it took a while until I felt like I could really hammer down on a time travel concept, and to be honest this is pretty much a melting pot of a lot of different time travel narratives i've enjoyed (madoka magica; rick & morty; and others i'm probably forgetting). in any case, i hope y'all enjoy!)

cross-posted on ao3!

The memories are bleeding together. One minute L walks through their living room and sees a set of pillows. Underneath one, he thinks, should be a spot of blood soaked in the fabric. He checks a pillow – no blood; he checks its brother, and the threads are clean. Memories, like himself, lie.

Light is the same, memory after memory, day after day. His brown hair grows long, and L cuts it for him in the bathroom. They look in the same mirror. With one finger, L traces up the soft cheek leading back to Light’s perfect ear. Around them is an autumn afternoon’s worth of snipped auburn locks.

“You’re pretty good at this,” Light says, his hand coming to touch L’s finger.

“I’ve had practice,” L says. He cuts another piece of hair.

Quillsh tells L over the phone the machine is in the basement.

“Where?” L settles back in his office chair. At the desk across from him, Light sleeps on his keyboard; he pulled an all-nighter doing research for their next case. “Where in the basement? Wammy’s? Or someplace else?”

“Under the headquarters,” Quillsh says. “Or where it was. Sorry, my mind gets confused. Such an old man I’ve become.”

L doesn’t laugh. His head and heart race; his hand shoots over to cover Light’s.

“I get confused sometimes as well,” L says. “But that’s good. Under ground is the best place for it.”

Sometimes L wishes he went alone, because alone has always been his safe place. Other days, like when he asks Quillsh about how deep he buried the machine and complains about memories lacing together, he embraces his own inability for independence. Who else would have found the machine in the first place? Who else might have agreed when L brought up the idea?

“Are you sure he’s worth the effort?” was all Quillsh asked. L squeezes Light’s hand where it twitches, Light’s nose scrunched in dreams as a little drool gets on his keyboard. Every pillow without blood on it; every haircut he’s done; every time he stepped back into the machine heaving his tears and heartbreak knowing he needed to go back further. He would step on a thousand butterflies, and he’s stepped on far worse things. Light is worth all the time L travels through.

L is in their kitchen. Light pulls out a mug that’s lumpy, misshapen, and hands it to him.

“This isn’t the mug I use,” L says.

Light steps back, eyebrow raised. He rolls the cup around in his palm, checks the bottom, and snorts. Amusement plays well on his heroic features, the fine details of Light that make him look like a main character. L has certainly done enough, pulled so many strings, that by now the world they live in does spin on Light’s every move.

“Are you sure?” Light asks and turns the mug’s bottom toward L. There, in the glazed ceramic, is the scrawl of L’s signature. It is not his signature; it is the scraped-out scrawl of a version of him.

Every timeline had its own L, but not anymore. All those versions of himself who begged for mercy, or stoically stared him down: L saw his face in the throes of death a hundred times over. At some point, he had to understand how Light was able to act as Kira – he hit a number (a number he can’t say, that he won’t say) where the bodies stopped counting. Sensing his too-long silence, L laughs and takes the mug – admits he was mistaken. His fingers brush Light’s and he thinks: We both have so much blood on our hands, and neither of us know exactly how much.

He had to go back further, further, through the sprawling roots of time. Each attempt L made yielded a truth he hated to see: that if he let Light touch the notebook, the rot wouldn’t stop growing. Even in the timelines where he didn’t let him touch it in the helicopter; even in the timelines where L found Light hours before his first broadcast to the Kanto region and stole the notebook then; and even in the one where he grabbed Light on the rooftop, shook him, and told him what an utter fool he’d make of himself.

The rot was in a place that he had to traverse ages and ages to find. L wasted an entire timeline on torturing Light to find when he first saw the Death Note – and promised himself if this one didn’t work, he’d let time run its course. He could live with himself if he succeeded; to know he left behind a broken Light, bloodied by L’s hands, for nothing? Unlivable.

A school courtyard. A black notebook. Nobody looked twice as L burned it where it lay. In his nostrils echoed the smell of burnt grass for three days.

They’re lying in bed, and L kisses the base of Light’s neck. He inhales – the smell of citrus, soap, and their chicken dinner. Light huffs and rolls his shoulders, settling back tighter against L’s chest. The bed is warm, and the night is quiet. L closes his eyes and kisses Light’s shoulder. Under his lips the skin is smooth – as perfect as his victory over time, over Kira, over fate, is.

He doesn’t hear his own footsteps in the hall, or the bedroom door as it opens – the sounds are so familiar that they all bleed together.
