    Summary

    Mired in an abusive relationship with Beyond Birthday, L meets one Light Yagami and begins an affair.

    Summary

    Mello eventually gets up, buttoning up her pants, grabbing her leather jacket, and giving Near a… look. Near can’t read it at all, Mello’s expression is carefully reserved and completely blank. Mello puts on her pitch black combat boots and ties the laces, all the while ignoring Near’s peering gaze.

    “Let’s just,” Mello says. “This never happened, OK?”

    Summary

    Mello knows that he's not perfect. In fact, he's far from that. It's why he keeps everyone at bay, watching the world go on from a distance. After all, someone as awful as him has no right to try and take space in it.

    By chance, he reunites with Near, the boy he bullied back in elementary school. In an attempt to clear up his remaining unfinished business, Mello decides he's going to do whatever he can to make it up to him.

    Summary

    The myth of mermaids singing to lure sailors and drown them to death flashed through his mind for a moment. Mello was the furthest from a mermaid, but the concept of dying by him wasn't so absurd. 

    [the one where Near learns how small choices can lead to big changes, Mello is a bad teacher and has a lot of secrets, and Matt is a good friend, excellent wingman and can't hold a secret to save his life]

    Summary

    He reached a hand, slowly, into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out a picture. He told Mello he’d given him the only picture of himself in existence, but that was a lie. He’d made a copy and kept the original. He’d written Dear Mello on the back of it and nothing else. He planned on returning the real photograph when (if) he ever finished the note. He didn’t know what to write on it then; he had so much to say now. Cruelly, as life always is, it didn’t matter anymore. Mello would never get to read it anyway.

    He traced the outline of Mello’s face with his finger as a tear softly landed and rolled off. “Dear Mello,” he whispered. “Dear Mello…there was so much left unsaid.”

    “There doesn’t have to be.”

    "I cannot cook, do laundry, drive, or even board a plane by myself. I have nothing except you and this…prison they’ve raised me to be dependent on.”

    He looked up, his eyes meeting Mello’s.

    “And you keep leaving me in it.”

    Summary

    As soon as the call ended, Near walked to his desk and laid his open hand on it, displaying the unassuming flower petal.

    “Near, what is this?” Roger eyed him critically.

    “Hanahaki disease, I presume,” he said, his voice devoid of any emotion as usual.

    “Hanahaki disease?” Roger blinked, taken aback. “Are you certain? Did you– did this come from you?”

    “There’s a ninety-nine percent probability.” He nodded. “And yes, I spat it out a few minutes ago."

    Summary

    Two years after the end of the Kira investigation, Near reluctantly agrees to investigate a series of murders in Denver. What he's expecting is a dull, uninteresting case that he'll solve before the plane has even landed. Instead, he gets a killer who seems to have no rhyme or reason to their actions yet somehow evades capture anyway and still has time to send him cryptic messages with horrible grammar.

    Mello has been lying low for the past two years, but when he hears about the serial murders, he heads to the city to investigate. Normally, he wouldn't bother, but there's something different about this case— Near may be in more danger than he realizes.

    Not that Mello actually cares. That would be ridiculous.

    Summary

    They were never supposed to work together. It was physically- no, morally impossible for them to even be in the same room together.
    So when Near needs leads for his case and Mello shows up, they expected the fights, the disagreements, the mistrust
    But neither expected that this reluctant partnership would begin to blur the line between their rivalry and something reckless they were both trying to run from.

    Summary

    Ten years after the end of the kira case, Mello is trying to hide by living the most boring normal life possible. He doesn't want to have anything to do with L or investigations in general. He needs a little more time to decide what he should do with his life, maybe when he is thirty things will start making sense again.
    Or maybe the sudden disappearance of the best detective in the world is what will force him to decide a little bit quicker.
