Summary
It’s a CRT television, the kind with buttons that control everything down at the bottom. Usually, you don’t use a light to find the buttons. You just run your hand along the bottom until you find the first one. That’s the power button. The TV itself is a bit broken. The antenna has a piece of cloth holding it in place, and there’s a small crack at the bottom of the screen that you only really notice when the TV is on. Still, you got it for free from a neighbor. And despite the wear and tear, he works like a charm. Tenna, they called him. It felt weird to call the TV by the name at first, but soon enough it became second nature.
Reader got an old busted CRT TV from a couple of teenagers and is really starting to love it. Though, as they fall asleep, they slip into the Dark World. [Alternate universe where the Dark World doesn't have to be reached through a fountain and just kinda exists separate from the Light World.]

This made me feel things...
One of the best by far -

Summary
Humans can make out patterns out of nothing. Like discovering shapes in the cloud, or images between the stars. If you listen to static noise long enough they start to form meaningful words, even when there isn’t any.
This is the closest approximation to how Ichiji feels things.
It is almost fascinating, then, for him, to watch Sanji, who seems to feel everything with his entire being, so visceral and open and raw.

Bookmarker's Notes
This was brilliant! Truly ahead of it's time!
Really loved to see Ichiji trying to understand emotions and his thoughts for the canon events.It is intriguing how he calls Sanji a mistake not out of intentional malice but as explaining a simple fact. And this is further proved by how he also looks at his own mistakes the same way- he's not making excuses for himself.
The detached way he looks at everything is written so well and so interesting. He had no real agency in his life. Not just hollowed out of emotions but even his sense of self too. If they were to be free from Judge, it's still gonna be so tough for them. Especially how here Ichiji doesn't really know why he does things. His only purpose had been to please his father.
His buried emotions... his tears at his mother's death... :(
For Ichiji to be able to smile for once at the end... perhaps it was because of the new revelation that he could perhaps do what he wanted. (Losing agency is a sure way to misery, he had been living in miserable conditions, but not understanding it, that's so tragic. In reality he probably still cannot do what he wants, even after this new revelation, not until he is truly free.)

Summary
If you had told Sanji even a month prior that he would be seeing his birth family again, he would have laughed at you. If you had told him a month ago that, upon meeting his birth family, his brothers would not only not be violent with him, but would go through the effort of wrangling him into an honest-to-god nest and would cuddle him half to death, he would have caved your skull in and then laughed at you.
Sadly, he wasn’t given such a kind warning, and God had a sick and twisted sense of humor.

Bookmarker's Notes
I read through this story and it didn't feel like a story of over 140,000 words. That is a good thing because it goes to show how immersed I was with it. No line feels wasted, every one intentional, the banter and the characterisations are all amazing. Even the OCs are likeable, antagonists with believable motivations. I can't believe it has come to an end. But it was good that I found it after it's complete so I didn't need to wait.
The new Death Note game was what made me think about Death Note again. I honestly have a new found appreciation for Near and Light. Though I used to like Light the most (When I first read DN), it had become L then after reading this I think it's Near...

Summary

Faced with an unsolvable string of murders threatening both his position and his life, the third L must seek help from an unlikely (and unlikable) source: his imprisoned predecessor, Light Yagami.

Summary
Tim’s expression suddenly sharpened, and Jason felt like he was being scanned. It was uncomfortable, but he forced himself not to fidget.
“What is this? Are you trying to reach out fuckup to fuckup? Because….”
“Jesus Christ kid. How the HELL do you fit so much cynicism in such a tiny body? I came here because I’m trying to stop being a huge piece of shit of a brother. There’s obviously something wrong with you whether you want to admit it or not and NOONE ELSE appears to be bothered. If even I think that’s incredibly fucked then someone should have taken care of this a long ass time ago. So excuse me if I’m not the cavalry you’ve been waiting for but I’m the one that’s here. Shit.”

Summary
Tim is hunched over his computer, bouncing between a report for B (Batman, not Bruce) and a spreadsheet for B (Bruce, not Batman) when Jason stumbles into the cave. If it weren’t for the fact that Jason had been in a somewhat good mood lately, Tim probably would have been a little more concerned about this fact. Still, it’s weird when, instead of ignoring Tim’s existence like he usually does, Jason walks over to him directly and says, “I'm in a time loop and I don't know why. Fix it."

I'm so amazed at the way this is written. The scenes that were chosen to highlight again were perfect in potraying time flow and also only really showing what is important. It's really amazing, and I'm surprised so much was shown and implied in just 8,000+ words.

Amazing story that focuses on Jason and Tim. Tim's descent into darkness was very interesting, he's seriously scary when he's working against you.
It also touches on reconciliation and also communication!! Finally!!

Identity fics and dramatic irony are seriously are the best!!! This one is so well written, no a single moment of boredom :)
I also really like how every detail is well placed. I can see how they play into each other. Especially the part about the crushed bug. When Tim was wondering how much Dick overheard, I thought of the part where he fell...

This is a silly little story told via AO3 emails and text messages, based on that one tumblr post which was like "what if Jason had an AO3 account with a 300k long Pride and Prejudice fanfic" and I went "well what if Helicopter Parent Bruce was subscribed to it and that's how he found out Jason was alive?"
aka the excuse to figure out how to mimic an AO3 email in skinform

Summary
“I’d like to report a kidnapping,” Jason said, looking Bruce dead in the eyes.
Bruce tensed and straightened fully, ready to spring into action. “Who?”
“My brother.”
No— “But Damian’s supposed to be at school, they should have called me,” he sputtered out, his mind frantically racing as he tried to figure out if it was likely one of the faculty or staff at Gotham Academy might have been bribed into covering up his son going missing off of campus. “Wait, is it Dick? I was just texting with him, he was at work, so I’m not sure how—”
“Dickiebird and the gremlin are both fine,” Jason said, rolling his eyes. “Nah, I was talking about my other brother.”
Bruce blinked slowly, the brief flare of visceral fear fading away into an anxiously-tinged confusion. “Jaylad… you don’t… have another brother?”OR
Tim Drake time traveled his way out of joining the Batfamily, for the greater good of course. Unfortunately, his plans to angst off into a lonely future where everyone is 'better off' go awry when Jason Todd recovers his original memories and he's not as grateful to Tim for saving his life as Tim would have thought.

I really liked this <3
Really enjoyed the protective Vergil and mother hen Nero hehe that was really cute. Love the exploration of Dante's issues.Edit 15 Feb 2024: AHHH IT'S BACK
It's so good, I'm loving it so much because it tackles the problems that the brothers have, and they're finally taking steps to real communication and reconciliation, instead of pretending everything is fine! I love that this is so Dante-centric, these seem to be rarer. And I really liked that in chapter six Dante felt safe enough to fall asleep in Vergil's arms, two times no less :D
