Summary
They do say you can run, but you can't hide. L assumed he was the exception to the rule—building a new identity, a new life, a new love on the other side of the world, he presumed he'd be safe.
Somehow, one wrong turn, one chance encounter in California, and he finds himself staring into the eyes of the man who swore he'd own him forever. And perhaps, that is exactly how L learns that some predators never give up on their prey.

Summary
Light, an eighteen year old high schooler with undiagnosed OCD and his whole life ahead of him, doesn't know of a reality in which he doesn't suffer. He only knows all the ways this one might kill him in varyingly gruesome scenarios. He sooths the cracks in his hands with aloe vera moisturizer and the cracks in his mind with constant meaningless distractions, a host of worthless rituals. He would wear disposable gloves, but he doesn't want to look like a freak.
A bored and disturbed detective finds this interesting enough to steal Light from his life, and show him what real fear feels like.

Summary
Ranked second in the international list of private detectives, Light Yagami—aka Kira—is left without the support of his husband and partner, L. Dragged into Irene Adler’s case alongside London’s most infuriating genius, Light finds himself locked in a clash of volatile intellects. Neither Light nor Sherlock Holmes is exactly easy to get along with, and their interactions quickly grate on the nerves of everyone unfortunate enough to be nearby. Still, there’s one thing the two detectives agree on: anything is justified if it brings results. Yet they aren’t the only ones who operate without boundaries—whether legal or moral...

Ikigai: (生き甲斐): A reason for being; the sense of having a purpose in life.
A face emerged from the shadows, looming behind Fujimoto menacingly. Nobody could react, nobody had noticed. Hiroshi himself could barely register it. But he saw it. Caramel, copper colored bangs. Eyes completely lifeless.
Slash.
The plump man crumbled to the ground.

Summary
In the online world, Kira is known as a God of death. If he speaks his will, then it will come to be. Many will call it all a set of coincidences or fortunate timing. Teru Mikami, having been saved by this gift, knows it as divine intervention.
At school, he meets his savior in the flesh as a boy named Light Yagami.
Holding prophetic dreams, he claims that in three weeks, the world as they know it shall end, and a new one, where he is its ruler, will be born. However, it's not a goal that can be accomplished alone, and as such, he seeks Mikami out as his disciple.
Or:
Light is delusional, and Mikami, equally so, is more than happy to tag along for the ride.

Near was strange, everyone could see that. It wasn't Mello's fault that he was so weird, it wasn't his fault that Near started teassing him, it wasn't his fault that he found it strange how he sat, how he spent his time alone, how he have higher notes than him whitout even try, it wasn't his fault that Near had such a strange father, no, it wasn't his fault.

Summary
It isn’t a guarantee; they live such short and precarious lives. He may starve to death, a cat kills him, or those dreaded rat traps catch him when he least expects it. Every night may be the last night he gets to live, every spring may be the last one he gets to experience.
But when he finally leaves his pack and sets forth to fashion himself a new life, he understands what the leader is trying to say. The most important thing in the world is to survive. If he doesn’t have the hope that there is another day to live, then he has nothing.
Don’t be greedy. Trust Nature. It’s the hope that keeps you alive. Those are the things that he keeps with him when he slips through a narrow opening in an apartment building, where a human lives.
L, a rat, finds himself in the apartment of a beautiful man. Written for DeathNoteTober Day 2: Animal AU.

Summary
Light thought back to the night he was taken, a blur of fear and limbs lashing out, of something fleshy and red striking him in the head. He remembered waking up in an operation room, feeling the sharp claws of hunger. He remembered the man he’d devoured—Takuo Shibuimaru he’d been told—and he remembered being led to a (his) new room and catching sight of his own bloodied form in the mirror. He was not proud to have fainted.
When Light wakes up with an additional organ, he's understandably a bit scared. It takes time to realise that being a ghoul isn't that different from being a human, and that he still has reasons to smile. But when, early on in his new life as a ghoul, he's spotted and targeted by the #1 Ghoul catcher in the world, he's forced to admit that being hunted is Not Cool, much less by a man who's strangely fascinating and also smells very good.
