Summary
Light is 95% certain he is Kira and, if that's the case, he needs to reclaim his memories, his power and kill L. It's the only way to survive. But that's going to be a little complicated handcuffed to the world's greatest detective. Things get petty, then elaborate, and before long he's starting to wonder if he wants L dead half as much as he needs him dead.

Summary
Light is the victim of a brutal assault and finds himself spiralling into a state of despair as he grapples with the violation of his autonomy, pride, and God-complex. To cope with this Light does what he does best and manipulates the rules of the Death Note, using them to put him out of his misery whilst maintaining his innocence for the sake of his family, and of course, to claim victory over L.

Bookmarker's Notes
@💊: Okay so nights by yourmyqueen has a very bittersweet ending with 2 sequels to it, while thd by halfpromise is currently unfinished, but please do not let that throw you off. It belongs on the shelf next to Wuthering Heights. I’m not exaggerating,
you’re in for the ride of your life.🙏@jess_s.c: i’m reading the hinterland doctrine and I feel so sick about it, it’s such a good fic but it actually disturbs me so much

Summary
There’s something missing from Light Yagami’s skull. There’s something missing and he can’t put his finger on what it is. Memories seem vague, motives are aimless, people he’s met had occurred under blurry circumstances, and something is simply missing entirely. In its place is something which obstructs his sleep and mocks the missingness of his brain. He’ll find what had left. He just has to look hard enough.
TL;DR: The handcuffs/Yotsuba arc but Light has nightmares. Also I harp on the concept of memories a lot. Plus there’s some experimental symbolism and repetition. This is incredibly plot compliant and strictly follows the manga timeline.
