Summary
Matsuda thought absentmindedly, gaze drifting from the notebook ever so slightly. When he read the notebook even further, he was… a little creeped out? On how detailed it is. You need a name and a face, in forty seconds or they die of a heart attack? Why in the world is the default heart attacks anyway?
His gaze went back to the notebook, as he picked it up and opened it again, like if anything different was going to appear from the other ten times he opened it. When he thought about even more, it sounded ridiculous. No man would be killed with a flick of a pen. That’s not how kills work, there has to be effort after all. The hardest part about killing humans is killing humans. However now, this notebook is all up in front and saying:
“Now even murder can be lazy! Isn’t that the epitome of humanity?“
….
Or, a fic where Matsuda comes across the death note

Summary
Fifty days of confinement have undermined Yagami Light's mettle. By the time he's chained to L, he's but a brittle mass of nerves. By all means, he should be cleared — the murders continued even whilst he was imprisoned! Yet, L refuses to let him out of his sight.
L knows he has Kira right under his nose. He is never mistaken. Evidence is all he requires, and what's the most damning form of such? Why, a confession, of course! And L is determined to extract one. By now, he’s accustomed to doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
This chthonic case's outcome sits comfortably within one young detective’s deft hands; after all, fragile things must be handled with care. Everything depends on just how far he's willing to push to attain that admission of guilt.
Shall we see how much Light can take?

Summary
L sighed, pausing from where he was kneeling in front of Li- Kira's feet. It was all hitting him now- the reality of it all. This wasn't a game anymore. He was going to die, and he was going to die today. Kira had won.
Set right after the scene where he is drying Light's feet and doing the slight digs, but... edited a bit. L realizes that he's not coming out of today alive, and makes a decision.

Summary
A single choice can set your whole life off-course forever. For fifteen year old Sayu Yagami, that choice was picking up the notebook she found outside her English class one day. Too afraid to let the Shinigami that owns the Death Note kill her, she decides to use her newfound power to do some good, in hopes of keeping Ryuk entertained and herself alive. But Sayu soon finds she can't handle her new position alone, and decides to confide in the person she trusts the most: her older brother, Light. Unfortunately, she may have put her faith in the wrong person.
[AU where Sayu found the Death Note. Twenty chapters planned. Very Sayu-centric, obviously, but our favorite mass murderer and detective will still play a big part. Third person POV.]
NOTE: This fic has been abandoned, but I am leaving an outline of where I was planning to go with this.

Summary
The task force might think he’s a lot to deal with, but they only have to handle L during the workday. Light is stuck with this asshole 24/7, and he would be happy to inform any curious onlookers that the bullshit L spouts at two in the afternoon has nothing on what he’ll say at two in the morning.
Or what he’ll do at two in the morning. What they’ll both do.

Summary
Maybe it’s stockholm syndrome, maybe it's Maybelline, it's probably that they're both just fucking nuts.
***
By early-mid September, they were kissing just because.
Light had turned to L during another session of sitting on the roof and talking, because they also did that with increasingly concerning frequency. L had said something, he couldn’t remember what, but Light’s response was permanently seared into L’s brain matter.
His gaze had flicked to L’s lips, then to his eyes, and he’d asked with urgency: “Can I kiss you? Would you mind?”
Well, L didn’t mind if a pretty boy kissed him at all. Who in their right mind would? (Someone with a sense of professionalism, perhaps. But those idiots didn’t get to kiss Light, and L was known for his intelligence.)

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.

No name.

Summary
Kira likes L, but L likes Light.
Kira was the last puzzle piece that completed the picture-perfect Light, so why did L dislike him?
Well, it wasn't time for him to focus on those thoughts, since the roots within his lungs blocked all the words he wanted to say before his fated death

Summary
“Listen” L whispers against his neck and Light has to fight a shiver.
A fake moan echoes around them and L shakes his head slightly, hair tickling Light’s neck.
“That’s not how people sound when they’re turned on, Light” he whispers, voice deep against Light’s skin, deeper in Light’s brain where the sound lingers, weaving a path of melted braincells.
L is a man on a mission, a man with a purpose. He’s fucking unbearable.Light is a brilliant director who doesn't make mistakes, but he can't seem to shake this annoying editor's insistence that there's something wrong with the sex scene of his latest film.
A “death note characters in the film industry AU” that is mostly just an excuse for smut -
