Summary
John's train is delayed. He's not particularly distraught over waiting a bit longer to visit his estranged family, but maybe he should mind the scattering of severed hands a little more. He blames the beautiful teenage detective, with his whirlwind of a long coat and unruly curls, for the sudden acceptance. John's only human, after all, and apparently that means he's susceptible to obsessive infatuations that linger long after Sherlock Holmes pushes him away. Thankfully, fate has other ideas for them.

Summary
❛ I do love thee; and when I love
thee not, Chaos is come again. ❜Upon writing in the Death Note, one is sentenced to an afterlife devoid of Heaven or Hell when their time eventually comes. But loopholes, of course, exist for a reason; fine print so fine that even Ryuk was unaware of it. A victim, for example, may attempt to persuade the Shinigami King into giving their murderer a second chance to redeem themselves in another reality. But such an occurrence is so rare, it is an unknown rule of the Death Note. After all, what could possibly motivate a victim to defend their villain?
But every once in a millennium, it may occur. And when it does, it's always wildly entertaining for those within the Shinigami realm. After all, what is a more efficient form of punishment than taking the blinding brilliance of Light Yagami and providing him the opportunity to atone for his sins in a new world, only to have to endure the retribution even after redemption?
