    Summary

    “Well,” L began once Yagami paused in her rearranging and hit the eight-minute mark, “What have you determined from our little exercise?”

    “I’ve determined,” said Yagami, looking up from the table and meeting his gaze, “That you’re either fucking with me, or you’re not nearly as great of a detective as you think you are.”

    L stopped his munching and swallowed. “Excuse me?"

    Or: a woman gets dropped into the body of baby Kira, and frankly, shinigami and magical notebooks are the least of her worries.

    Featuring: a first-hand examination of how Death Note treats its female characters, a Sayu that is just as smart as her older sibling, a Wammy's House that works as a functioning unit rather than an L-centered cult of personality, and a crash course in how to make sure you and the girlies don't get fridged by the narrative.

    Summary

    The sun sets in the distance as Yagami Light runs to what must surely be his death. Ryuk doesn't want to wait for him to die in prison, and he's bleeding out. His pride, his livelihood, his Death Note have all been taken away from him. He has nothing, and though he's terribly afraid of death, he knows it's time.

    But as fate would have it Beyond Birthday, a serial killer who is believed to be dead, happens to be loitering around in the very same warehouse Light stumbles into. Beyond knows that it's no accident that Kira and him have crossed paths. And, he thinks, that this might be fun. Maybe he will finally have companionship, a friend, or maybe something more...?

    The two make a deal. And while all Light wants to do is die, maybe this adventure will show him that there is life after the Death Note. Add in a crazy serial killer who plays loud music and an obnoxious shinigami, and Light's got a new life mission.

    Summary

    Light has been under suspicion of being Kira for far too long. After his girlfriend, Misa Amane, falls under suspicion for actual DNA evidence tying her to the case. Light then goes into confinement. And even after he has gone to extreme lengths to prove that there is no way he could be Kira, L still doubts him. Because L just KNOWS Light Yagami is Kira. The only way for L to be assured of Light's innocence or guilt is to become handcuffed to him. And no matter how long it takes, L will get a confession. No matter what he has to do, he will find out the truth. And Light will do anything to save his own life, to convince L that he isn't Kira. Even at the cost of his own sanity. This is all just a game, but a game that could be deadly.

    Summary

    “Ah, Light-kun. My plants aren’t growing very well recently, do you have anything for that?”

    Light blinked. “...do you know which breed of plant it is…?”

    L stared at him, and oh my god, please don’t open your mouth—

    “....green ones?”

    And Light swore, if murder wasn’t legal in Japan, he would personally take L to, well, wherever the fuck it was still legal, to space if he had to, and murder him himself, because of the countless number of plants who had died by his hand and ignorance, and honestly he thought that many people would agree that it was a fitting punishment for someone like L.

    ----

    Light Yagami, a part-time florist, meets a customer, L, who knows nothing about flowers but everything about literary works.
