One-Shots No. 50 - Certain; Predestined; Inescapable; Unavoidable; Inevitable: Incapable of being prevented or evaded. Excerpt from Chapter: Yes, things had been destined to be a runaround for the both of them from the start. LxLight

What happens when new artist Yagami Raito manages to capture the attention of socially inept, anonymous artist L Lawliet? Hilarity, of course. Matchmakers, troublesome sisters, and crazy lawyers pretending to be drag queens? What is this world coming to?

Rem perceives an anomaly in L, but she has to take a decision in order to protect Misa. Her actions trigger a countdown with horrifying consequences. Canon divergence. Dark fic. Plotty. Feels abound. Main pairings: L/Light and canon compliant Light/Misa.

L thinks the kids are getting used to Light. Light insists that the kids hate him. Or: Wammy's kids are not Light Yagami's biggest fans. AU where Light is not Kira. Pairings: L x Light and Matt x Mello. Established relationship and developing relationship. Domestic fluff. As domestic and fluffy as living with L at Wammy's can be, which also implies conflict. Wammy kids are jealous.

Oneshot. Crack. Light gets annoyed and decides that L's cake has to die. (for Kat)

L pulled him into a hug, rubbing soothing circles on his back. "I hate to see you upset," he said against the crown of his head, "I promise you, Light, I won't leave you alone."

"It was captivating and compelling, this battle of theirs. Their endless battle, their incessant game of cat and mouse, the two of them defying life and death and time, finding each other and drowning in the presence of one another over and over again." / Kind of a study of the relationship between Light and L from the point of view of Ryuk who observes Light in multiple lifetimes.

Sayu knew she'd been born into the perfect family. So maybe her father stayed late at work, her mother only had eyes for her brother, and said brother was always aloof and distant; if there was anything wrong, it could only be her. Over the course of a few years, Sayu gets to watch that 'perfect' family crumble. Inspired by the song 'Dollhouse' by Melanie Martinez. One-shot.

"Lawliet," Doctor Light Yagami said firmly, "There is no Mu. There is no Death Note. You're in a hospital – a mental hospital." AU/Alternative Ending.

The first time Ryuk drops the Death Note, it is an accident that it lands in the hands of someone as perfect for it as Light Yagami is. The second time, he chooses Light, and laughs that much harder.(Canon Compliant, for the Manga/Anime and Drama)

Years later, Ryuk stews on the notion that Light Yagami maybe hadn't been a sociopath at all. Drabble.

"Her body lurched forward, and she rolled her shoulders nervously. Both of her hands rested securely on the railing behind her...Then after a few more seconds of debate, she just let go. Gravity did the rest." Centers on Misa's decision at the end of the anime and manga. Angsty. Possible spoilers.

Sayu briefly reflects on her opinions of Kira and the way the world chooses to spin. Post-series.

Various unrelated Death Note oneshots made from ideas that can't be made long enough to be their own stories. Slight shounen-ai in some chapters.

Dreams mean nothing. Dreams can't affect reality in any way. Or can they? Light is disturbed with his nightmares but what if his dreams start to interfere with his life in every aspect? Takes place three years after L's death. Slight AU.

L's ordinary day is interrupted by a not-so-ordinary disappearance that he's determined to solve. And when it reappears right under his nose? Obviously a personal attack on his detective abilities-time for mystery, revenge and maybe even a little romance!

The rain tastes of the sky, and the sky tastes of blood. The bones only speak when it rains, and only when the rain falls does the boy visit an unmarked grave. Light visiting L's grave, from the perspective of L's headstone. A bit abstract.

It should come as no surprise to Light that the most embarrassing and disastrous family dinner of his life was caused in its entirety by none other than L, which he tries to explain in his college essay on his final exam. Oneshot.

Dear L, you totally suck. Sincerely, Kira. (set on Completed, for I haven't had any inspiration for this one in months. Guess it is time to move on. Sorry guys.)

There is a shinigami in Misa's home, one she believes may have once been Light, and so she waits for him to come back. Sometimes she has doubts.

One L Lawliet is convinced one Light Yagami actually loves him, and goes about questioning him in Green Eggs and Ham fashion. Consider yourself warned! Cracktastic Writing Ahead. Blame Tierfal and Anon Poster at her Porny Party.

“I came back,” Light whispers gently; unnecessarily. “Is that okay?”

It is a simple, well-known fact. Boys don't cry. It is unacceptable for any male past infancy. Especially not grown men. Especially not geniuses. Especially not gods. A oneshot dealing with Light, L, Near, Matt, Mello, Soichiro and Watari.

Living with failure was never part of the plan.

The Yagamis are having a Christmas party, and L has little choice but to attend. Cookies are eaten, and Christmassy chaos ensues. L/Light.

Ryuk’s favourite equation. It means the death of boredom, the only death that actually matters. Gift fic for Computerfreak101

A collection of unrelated fics. Fuller summary inside. XI. The Small Print. Raito always has a great deal to say to L. Too bad he's not around to hear it.

Once the bullets have rained down and the funeral procession has cleared out, Matsuda, dressed in a tired black suit and equally tired eyes, remembers that he had liked Light Yagami.

Near hears dead people. Matt/Mello, L/Light, Gevanni/Near.

“You heard what I said.” L whispers. He says this with a subtle shyness, lips now pressed against Light's temple, fingers leisurely adoring the patch of exposed skin above his collar.

In myself, I see no dreams, like unpainted pictures. How many times must I fill this canvas? I'll abandon time as I hold a white flag overhead... I am your unknown color now.

“Raito-kun,” Ryuzaki breathes, leaning closer. “have I done something to make you uncomfortable?”

The day is fading now. Light, Misa, and L.

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down. Light/L.

After it's all over, there's still eternity to deal with.

L is under the weather and ill-fortuned Light is left caring for him. Rated for some language. Hints of BL.

But L – the L who is Lawliet, the man, the youth, and the wasted dreams, the false god’s enemy and the untimely death – he has this sense of duty, this idea he has to finish what he’s started. L before he steps out of the shadows. Oneshot.

There was a set of choices for the both of them to make, but Lawliet had always known that in the end, the most important of decisions would always rest on his own shoulders. Raito still had a life to live even if he said otherwise. Sequel to Back to You

Light needs coffee, damn it.

Some say that what's obvious to some, may not be so obvious to others. For a certain group of detectives, a gothic lolita and inventor-turned-manservant, that certainly seemed to be the case. L and Raito never could catch a break, could they? LxRaito

In which there are shopping trips, sarcasm, backhanded compliments, dark rooms, big guns, bubble baths, trauma of every sort, and detailed fantasies involving cake - lots of those. Let the buyer beware indeed. L/Light.

It was the time of year no jounin instructor enjoyed: Teacher Evaluation. It was the one time they were at the mercy of their student's whim, where everything they'd done could now turn around and bite them back.

There was an undeniable connection between them that Raito both cherished and longed to deny, yet being by Lawliet's side was all Raito knew. It was never easy to watch someone else's demise... especially when it was someone so close to your heart.

At eight minutes past seven, on an evening in January, years after the Kira case was shut and bolted, Matsuda steps out of his apartment, and turns left.

LxLight. Death Note with a Disney spin. Maybe their poison drenched love, this twisted fairytale of most wicked beauty, is all that matters, even when L is dragged back from his grave and faced with his poisoned apple again. Cowritten with Narroch.

“Are you trying to get me killed?” Finally, L reacted – by putting a tissue onto Light’s cheek. ”Raito-kun should wash off the blood.” Pre-Christmas Pseudo-fluff of the L/Light variety.

“Are these leather pants?” Light demanded incredulously. Matsuda waved a careless hand. “You’ll thank me later,” he pledged. Light/L, PWP-ish.

Light Yagami's metaphors were even worse when he was hungover and had just gotten laid. Light/L.

Mello and Near are the strangest birthday presents L ever receives. Oneshot.

What’s more," L continued, wholly unfazed, "after deep consideration of all factors, I’ve concluded that there is a sixty eight percent chance that you would not only enjoy engaging in sexual intercourse with me, but that you would prefer me to Misa."

AU HP/DN XOVER ONESHOT. A search for a toilet in London kind of went…awry. LxRaitoxL.

Sometimes, all it takes is one night to make a difference in someone's life. For L and Raito, it took four weeks. But what do you expect from two star students who hate each other with a passion? It's not like they were in love, or anything like that...

He knew.

Because it is apparently impossible for L and Raito-kun to do anything normally. Shameless crack with a completely messed-up timeline, if only because this is the only way I can imagine any sort of romance between our two super-genii.

People say that watching someone important to you die is the most traumatic experience one can go though. Raito always did think people were idiots. Drabble.

L takes on the paparazzi after they question his sexual orientation. Only when Matsuda, Misa and Light decide to help with damage control, do things really get out of hand! In the end, both L and Light realize there just may be some truth to those rumors.

Had Cash Cab host Ben Bailey known that picking up two men by the names of Yagami Raito and L Lawliet would have caused him such trouble from the beginning, he was quite sure he would have kept on driving, thank you very much. Oh, God help him now...

I have lost my anti-thesis, my muse, my motivation for working so hard. Light grieves. Well, sort of. SPOILERS.

Oh, that’s Yagami! Look, he’s handcuffed to a homeless person!” Light is getting fed up with Ryuzaki's lack of respect for the people around him, and his failure to adhere to Japanese culture. There's only so much a boy can take.

Romance, in general, could be considered the anti-thesis of anything having to do with common sense. Romance, however, must never be mistaken for love. YAOI ONE-SHOT L x Raito

AU. Kira had stolen everything from him; his life, his identity, his art… Hate consumed him, motivated him, drove him…and fear was his prison. But Raito is breaking free, and his rescuer is far from a knight in shining armor…Slight Yaoi.

LxLight. “Well, I’d say… that it shouldn’t end like this. It was always going to, though, wasn’t it?” Light tilted his head. “One of us dying, I mean.” For Narroch. Happy 20th birthday!

Why are hands one of the first things to get cold? Perhaps the book Kakashi's reading could answer that question for Team Seven. NaruSasuSaku Kakashi

Light and L have escaped Japan and have started a new life in America. But their troubles are far from over. In this new land there are much more frightening things than mass murderers and death. After all, what could be more terrifying than feelings?

Alternate Ep 25: Rem won't be so easily beaten by Light Yagami, but where does that leave L? At Light's mercy, of course. Dark LightxL. Cowritten with AutumnDynasty.

Raito can do anything better than L...this fic is on CRACK, HEROINE, LSD and every other thing that kills brain cells. But I think it's funny.

Light and L struggle with their desire to defeat the other, but also at the same time long to be friends. Their conflicted emotions make for a complicated storyline and sometimes can inspire both humor and drama. Contains very mild romance.
