    Summary

    When Light finds cameras in his bedroom, he is not surprised. Good thing he already thought of a flawless cover story for why he's so secretive. Clearly, the best option is to pretend to be transgender.

    Ryuk has already figured out she isn't pretending.

    Summary

    L knows that Light Yagami is guilty. And he is forced to accept that he will never be able to prove it.

    So, just this once, he decides to break his principles and go above the law. He kidnaps Light and takes him to Wammy's house.

    He's sure that having the kids interact with a real-life mass murderer will be a very educational experience indeed.

    Or: Light is Kira, L is sick of how easily manipulated the police are, and he secretly wants to see what will happen if he forces Light into a domestic situation with children just as intelligent as he is.

    Summary

    “Satisfied?” Light grumbles into the phone, shutting his laptop with a soft click, and padding his way over to his bathroom. As he stands, L’s gentle voice crackles over the speaker.

    “No, never.”

    “Predictable,” he sneers, running his toothbrush under the tap water, “So, then, what would keep you satisfied? If anything.”

    There’s shuffling on L’s end, before he says, fluid, like a paintbrush over wood, all too easy, like it’s the easiest thing in the world, “You.”

    The Kira case wanes in 2004, and eventually goes cold. L departs from Japan, and five years go by. Until, one night in 2009, L tells Light that the Kira case is being reopened, and L wants to help acquit him before he is inevitably caught. But, like always, there is a catch that comes with L's favour, and now Light is stuck playing teacher in a house full of genius orphans while mending the rift that had blossomed between himself and L.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    L tilts his head, inquisitive, smiling all the while, as the tap runs its timer, and the water stops flowing.

    Clearing his throat, Light stands and looks back in front of him, at his reflection, ignoring the looming reflection of L over his shoulder, “Of course I lie. Who doesn’t? But I don’t lie where it matters. Only little white lies.”

    He fixes his tie, flicks the water droplets off his hands and styles his hair, framing the curling side pieces around his jaw.

    "I like that you lie,” L tells him, “Because I always know when you do, and you know that I know. It’s like an implicit game. I just wonder when you’ll stop hiding behind words and just tell me that you’re Kira.”

    Yagami Light is the front-man for an unpopular Visual Kei tribute band while also juggling being the world's most elusive serial killer. L is assigned to the case, and has to figure out how to draw Light out into a confession, but finds himself tangled up in his own emotions, which complicates things a lot.
