    Summary

    The only thing that makes life bearable for Light is the Kpop idol Beyond Birthday. His world has shrunk to the little glowing window of his phone, where he spends his days watching Beyond’s videos, re-reading his words, and defending him online from the legions of people who don’t understand that he’s the most important person on Earth. Perhaps his closest remaining relationship is with his online nemesis, L, who loves Beyond too, but loves him all wrong. When L spontaneously shows up at his cupsleeve event, he finds his world begin to widen.

    or

    L and Light are the most toxic Kpop fans in the universe.

    “You have to promise to take care of yourself.” Light knows these words like a prayer, and he repeats them in the rhythm of Beyond’s voice, lilting, falling into itself. “The world is a difficult place, but you have to promise that no matter how hard it gets you’ll think of me and stay. You have to survive at all costs."

    Esoul’s arc was an unjust story but this fic really pinpoints what sickened me

    Summary

    She takes a step back. “You’ve never been there a day in your life for Nuonuo-jie,” she says, accusatory, dripping in venom. “You think that this will—?” she pauses, recognizing the ragged sob that works its way up her throat.

    It’s not fair.

    Summary

    When Ghostblade sees the boy at Rock’s side, the first thing he registers is that he looks to be around Nuonuo’s age. The second thing is that he’s covered in blood.

    (In one of fate's funnier punchlines, an unworthy father meets an unworthy son.)

    The awkward elevator ride fanworks are always so delightful
