  Summary

  Tsukushiro Himari has lead a dull life. She can’t remember the last time she was excited for something. And even a Death Note couldn’t change that. But when she realizes that an investigation team is hot on her tail, she realizes she can’t outsmart them. (Or should we say a certain genius detective.) For the first time in forever,she feels a thrill.

  If L ever had a romantic interest, what would that look like? I’m trying to keep this as realistic to their characters as possible so don’t expect the romance to be straight out of a romcom! Please give this OC a chance :’).

  I’m new to AO3 and English isn’t my first language so please bear with the occasional grammatical errors. Ps: ‘word’ means it’s inner monologue while “word” means it’s a dialogue. ❤️‍🩹
