Summary
The moment Light writes in the death note he becomes a killer, but he could not become Kira without L. (L/Light, slow burn — Yotsuba Arc with all the mind-games intact)
"The thing about getting rid of useless pride is that it is a scaffolding built of years. It takes more than the work of a moment; though you are begging in the windowless cell. What was I thinking, putting myself in here? You don’t remember. It’s beginning to disturb you, how much you don’t remember; although when you close your eyes and follow the trail—one event follows upon the other just as you had expected it to; and you can even recall the first time Kira killed, when all you saw was a reporter’s face through the screen of your TV. It was the end of your boredom, because though you were nothing but a spectator to the great battle, you already felt how Kira and L would pull you along in their wake just as any battle between titans would (because you would stand within the event horizon, if only to get closer).
Perhaps that is where you are now. In the quiet dark within the black hole, where your self, gaunt and unfamiliar to you, has already irrevocably been altered. (Suspect. Name: Yagami Light.)"

Summary
Naomi doesn't suspect Light. Aizawa does nothing but suspect Light. And Sayu just wants to know why her brother has disappeared. [previously "Case Files from the Kira Investigations, 2003-2004"]
"Abstracted, Light is gazing at the credits running over the dark screen, casting an eerie glow throughout the theatre room; when his eyes narrow, something cruel and deep seems to drift toward the surface. And Ryuzaki is watching Light too, just as caught by that momentary expression, his thumb pressed against his full lips, the sickly bruises under his eyes standing out like something rotten and sagging. The chain seems tacky and weird, you frown and find that your teeth have bitten into your lip and there's blood on your own tongue. Surely it doesn't take a genius to figure out how fucked up this is! But no one listens to Misa-Misa; no one ever listens to the pretty face. At least you're not too worried about Light. He's perfect, and he's smart enough that even if he were Kira, you know he'd never get caught. If L knows what's good for him, he should be the one who's scared to look at Light like that."

Summary
Light and L have been in a relationship for a while (and if L is misleading the Kira Task Force, no one really needs to know). Light's been carrying on as Kira, with his boyfriend's blessing. But one night, L wants to take their relationship to the next level. So he gives Light the one thing he wants most: a new victim.
Beyond Birthday is imprisoned in a mental hospital in Los Angeles, half a world away from L and Light. But that doesn't mean he's out of danger.

Summary
Nearly one year after the resolution of the Kira case, L meets a woman who turns his world upside down, igniting an intense burning desire within him that he cannot overcome. The woman is a crucial piece for the resolution of a high-stakes case. Thus, L decides there's only one way to get the needed information out of her: To hold her captive and interrogate her.
Or so he thought; however, nothing is ever simple.

Summary
L knows Light is Kira and he knows investigating Yotsuba will lead to his downfall and death. His instincts are never wrong. So when Light starts displaying a sexual interest in him, L decided a new method of investigation is in order because losing to Kira is not an option...
This is a twisted tale indeed of gameplaying, emotional manipulation, sneakyness and of falling for ones own trap. Will L execute Light as Kira? Or will he surprise everyone around him by doing something quite different...

You Bite My Lip Just For The Taste by BookwormByNight

Summary
Misa introduces a stranger to Light during a night out.
***
“You might’ve gathered that I don’t believe in soulmates,” Ryuzaki said matter-of-factly, stroking skin with his thumb again, dark eyes burning holes into Light’s. “I don’t know how much you’re picking up right now. The supernatural, a higher power, it’s all bullshit created to make us humans feel better about our worthless little lives. Self-aggrandizing, sentimental, gods of the gaps. Clearly you don’t feel the same.”
Yes, Light got that impression in the bar. What the fuck was happening now?
“But you know,” Ryuzaki continued, “I think you might have been made for me anyway. Weren’t you?” And he crushed their lips together - breathtaking, head-spinning, although that may have just been the booze - once more.
Hot electricity shot from Light’s belly up through his diaphragm. Good god, this man was the embodiment of mixed signals.

In theory, L has won. Light is imprisoned, Misa is gone, and the Death Notes are both in L's possession. The world should be safe from Kira now, right?
L sees potential in Light, and wants him to join as an investigator, especially when a new case looks to be beyond the explanation of the human world as L had always known it - before Shinigami changed all of that.
