Summary
I knew him once, but I know you better. He stows away his inner monologue and represses animated gestures. You’re loud and you like to talk, a lot. Exuberant emotions and dramatic displays of passion. I’m sure no one on this earth has seen coffee spill from your nose like I have. No. Because they don’t know you, they know him. You haven't been that man I see on TV for a while now. How was it slipping the mask back on? Excruciating, I hope.

Summary
Clair de Lune plays over the stereo and melancholy piano resonates through their apartment. Light sighs, if L was going for drama he certainly didn’t miss his mark. L was in one of his moods again, the crash that followed the high of working a case. The result of a great mind still spinning at its highest caliber with no outlet to expend all of its indomitable brilliance.

Summary
Val may be a fucking monster, but he’s a monster that Angel knows. He’s a monster that Angel understands. Angel isn’t stupid; he made the choice to sign with Valentino because he was the only overlord that made sense for Angel’s lifestyle — for what Angel wanted out of Hell.
But now you’re tellin’ him that his soul is owed to some random fucking jackass who swindled Val in a game of cards? How can that be fair? How can that be something that’s just allowed to happen?
(In which, Angel's contract is acquired by a new overlord — Hell's very own Gambling Demon, and they both get more from the relationship than either of them bargained for.)

Summary
Becoming Kira had been hard. He’d had to build himself a place in which it made sense, from the painful bones of it to every single brick wall. It had required the raising of a house.
—
After the Yotsuba arc is resolved in a somewhat unexpected way, Light and L find themselves in a bit of an emotionally confusing situation. Of course, it's nothing that a nice family dinner at the Yagamis' can't solve.- Language:

Summary
*NO prior knowledge of alice in borderland needed!!*
The two people Light considered geniuses, L and himself, were stuck on a puzzle. It gave him an uneasy feeling that their brains, together, couldn't figure something out. Especially something as catastrophic and reality changing as this. And L looked scared. He had never seen him looking anything but bored and annoyed. He was dramatic, yes, but he never showed anything like this.
“Light,” L said, interrupting his overbearing, nervous thoughts.
Light kept his eyes closed “What, Ryuzaki?”
“Game,” L spoke in English.
Light and L have to rely on each other to survive when they find themselves transported into an alternate reality where they are forced to participate in deadly games. Putting aside their differences with the Kira case, they find themselves growing closer together as they try to figure out how to go back home and survive.- Language:
