    Summary

    You were wrong to read Death Note as Light Yagami’s story. It was Ryuk’s.

    Plot-heavy, dark and extremely violent Ryght.

    Turns out Ryuk bald-faced lied about having not chosen Light to use the Death Note. That's probably the least frightening thing the shinigami had been dishonest with him about. Subjected to eternal torment only partly disguised as pleasure, the incredible strength of Light Yagami's personality, humanity, and convictions waver as the least-deserving God between them gobbles up all his time having locked him into a nonconsensual partnership.

    Summary

    Fifty days of confinement have undermined Yagami Light's mettle. By the time he's chained to L, he's but a brittle mass of nerves. By all means, he should be cleared — the murders continued even whilst he was imprisoned! Yet, L refuses to let him out of his sight.

    L knows he has Kira right under his nose. He is never mistaken. Evidence is all he requires, and what's the most damning form of such? Why, a confession, of course! And L is determined to extract one. By now, he’s accustomed to doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

    This chthonic case's outcome sits comfortably within one young detective’s deft hands; after all, fragile things must be handled with care. Everything depends on just how far he's willing to push to attain that admission of guilt.

    Shall we see how much Light can take?

    Summary

    "Light’s fingers didn’t stutter over the keys of Chopin – his shoulders raised a hair but surprise was so slight on him, only Mikami would know. At least, that is what Mikami liked to assure himself: his ownership over the small parts of Light."

    (Written for complicatedmerary on tumblr as part of the Sexy Enquirer gift exchange. Mikami and Light are musicians with the same opera company, and have been lovers for sometime. But since Light married clingy soprano-turned-model Misa, a new desperation has taken hold over their relationship.)

    Summary

    The free androids of Detroit start building their brand-new future, but peace is only relative in the troubled times that follow a revolution. One of the major figureheads of the revolution and finally a deviant, Connor now has to learn how to handle free will. The AI that both guided and punished him is gone, but at a price, and he struggles with his newfound freedom when guilt and fear are the crumbling foundations of his new life.

    They say they want him there with them, but Connor can't understand why. He's afraid of himself and what he's capable of, afraid that maybe these feelings don't have their place within him.

    Despite all the doubts he may have, Connor finds that he desperately wants to live, because whenever he feels himself slipping and falling, they're here to catch him.

    Summary

    He tries not to think too far ahead, tries not to think of what’s to come. Forces himself to ignore the blood seeping into the cracks between the stained stones. The pain in his palm pulses in time with the slow beat of his heart, but the hunger gnaws at him.

    He leans back against the wall, closes his eyes, and tries not to think of the taste of blood on his tongue, sweet and sharp.
