    Summary

    After the confirmation of L's death, Roger Ruvie alongside everyone else had reasonably assumed that Quillsh Wammy had also been killed at the hands of Kira.

    Mello ends up running away from the orphanage after being told the news, determined to become L's sole successor.

    One cold winter night, he is found by the very person who brought him into the orphanage nearly a decade ago.

    Quillsh Wammy has returned to England, alive and physically intact. Among all the children he has gathered, he finds that he ought to be happy, and do his best to guide the duo that is to succeed L. It would not do to show even an inkling of what the death of his most prized protege has done to him.

    Even if it wounded him deeper than any physical blade could and brutally tore open decades old scars.

    Even if he is slowly falling apart.

    Even if the only thing that can silence the ghosts following him is a bullet straight through his head.

    Roger Ruvie has loved Quillsh Wammy for nearly half a century. That is undeniable. Whether or not undying love can save a man too stubborn to admit he needs it is another question.

    Summary

    Truth be told, L was depressed. Utterly and completely depressed.

     

    Coming to that realization was always hard for him. Everytime he closed an interesting case, everytime a criminal he catched was sent to stand trial, he felt it. He felt the clock ticking down, counting down the seconds before the tidal wave of boredom would inevitably come crashing down, drowning him. And everytime, he ignored this inevitability and ran. He ran, chasing down cases after cases like a madman. And while solving those gore, horrifying and bland cases, he tried to convince himself that they were thrilling. He solved them fast, one after the other, as if increasing his pace would also increase the intensity he felt.

     

    But it’s no use. He always ended up back at the bottom of the ocean.

    Summary

    “The neurophysiological footprint of brain activity after cardiac arrest and during near-death experience is not well understood. Although a hypoactive state of brain activity has been assumed, experimental animal studies have shown increased activity after cardiac arrest… Albeit the influence of neuronal injury and swelling, our data provide the first evidence from the dying human brain in a non-experimental, real-life acute care clinical setting and advocate that the human brain may possess the capability to generate coordinated activity during the near-death period.”

    “We measured 900 seconds of brain activity around the time of death and set a specific focus to investigate what happened in the 30 seconds before and after the heart stopped beating… Through generating oscillations involved in memory retrieval, the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die.”

    L Lawliet dies, and for nine hundred seconds, he remembers.

    Summary

    He couldn’t go back to the taskforce headquarters, couldn’t marry Misa, couldn’t deal with leading the task force any longer. All the resources in the world and L’s title were not worth feeling like this every second of every day.
    “Mikami,” he started, slowly. “I’m coming to you, and Ryuk, for ideas.”

    Mikami’s eyes widened. “You want my advice?”

    --
    Summary: Light hasn't been ok for a long time. He doesn't want to give up his goals, but he can't handle leading the task force a moment longer. Feeling desperate, he calls a meeting with loyal follower Mikami, and Ryuk, hoping they can help him find a solution. He gets a lot more than he could have even hoped for.

    Summary

    Matsuda ground his teeth.

    Light hadn’t answered any of their questions since they found him blubbering on the stairs. He didn’t even seem to register them, just stared. Stared right at-

    “Shinigami,” Matsuda said.

    All eyes turned to him.

    “Is there another of you in the other corner?”

    ~

    Summary

    The only female alpha in the room sighed while still holding the spoon in her mouth. "Who would have thought that an 18-year-old beta who was a virgin last month would have a date with a beautiful omega before us?"

    or

    Near chose Light instead of Justice. (And he’s right!)

    Summary

    Hideki Ryuga is obviously a fake name

    But there's a tiny, tiny chance that it's not, and for that reason Light still needs to try it out

    Doesn't mean he has to take it seriously

      Bookmark Notes:

      To be fair, when Light wrote that bit, he’d been pretty sure that the only kinds of secrets people promised themselves they’d never ever tell no matter what were weird sex things. Not anything serious like that.

      Pfffff XD

      and then light gets arrested and charged for being kira because L had in fact been aware that this could happen at this point lmao

      Ok but like. On what basis. How are they gonna prove he has some psychic magic and actually kills people lmao. Imo at this point in the canon he could have just kill him and nothing would happen to him. There is no actual basis to persecute him over, fitting a very flimsy profile doesnt actually mean anything.

      (and i'll write your name - death note)
