@deathnotefics
sixty-two minutes (a matt/kiyomi yuri ficlet)
rating: M | category: F/F | words: 300
Matt’s always been into hot, mean women who don’t like or respect her. It’s a character flaw. She’s not working on it at all. -- for @dnrarepairweek, day 1: premonitions.
wait fellow death note authors. fun game. do you have a fic that you love to bits but which perhaps did not get quite the reception you hoped for? we've all been there! please reblog with a link and perhaps an elevator pitch so we can all peruse the notes for a new under-the-radar indie favorite <3
mine is clean cut (bleed slow) (F/F, 2k words, rated T): in which Near tends to Mello's wounds after Mello gets into a fight on her behalf.
i offer two because i couldn’t pick one. great for fans of funky stylization!
in the absence of everything — lawlight, T rated but dark. L traps Light in an isolation cell. Things spiral from there.
the stars you bleed for me — also T rated lawlight. its among us! but not really because its under a prompt of nightmares (and yes that’s extremely relevant)
false gospel --- lawlight, 36k, rated M. L's a lawyer, while Light's an office worker. inspired by the hinterland doctrine. it's different from my usual stuff and i mess around with the styles in there, so if you like semi-toxic lawlight, existential crises and philosophical discussions, it's for you :}
Casual Affair
Rating: Explicit
Pairing: L/Light Yagami
Word Count: 17,526
Summary: Light Yagami is a married man, but by no means is he a moral man.
Read that shit on AO3!
*cups your face in both hands and gets uncomfortably close* GIVE ME DEATH NOTE FIC RECS PLEASE@!
ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE (ps these are all Lawlight fics since that is what I am assuming you want, but if you’d like Gen or you want to sail other ships you just let me know <3 )
I am going to go ahead and take this as an opportunity to make a whole list of fics I adore, and to give shoutouts to the wonderful writers of this fandom. Thank you so much! (Listed in alphabetical order because why not.) So without, further ado,
~~~MY DEATH NOTE LAWLIGHT FIC REC POST~~~
—–COMPLETE:
Chocolate Always Loves You Back by tierfal
Light Yagami is not having a good Valentine’s Day. Between the new guy with the candy fetish, his partner, Matsuda, and the unsettling new case… the chocolate may be the only thing that loves him at all. Light/L.(Word count: 41,711 )
This fic is so cute. I’m pretty sure I got cavities. Tierfal is a wonderful writer, and incredibly engaging with both her plot and her characterizations. This was a blast to read, and I highly recommend that you read her others works. You can find her on Ao3 as well, though she has moved onto RoyEd fics. If you are like me, however, that is hardly a problem, and YOU OUGHT TO GO READ THEM because they are wonderful and very, ahem, hot.
Change of Circumstance by wordbombs
(Word count: 8,351)Sometimes all happiness takes is a change of circumstances. L/Light, fluffly lemon meringue AU one-shot. Answers- What if Light was a Wammy?
Also very cute. A nice little ‘what if’ scenario with no angst, and I thought it was rather well-done.
PITCH by uberneko-zero
(Word count: 257,928) L is a reclusive detective who takes his job seriously. Too seriously, in fact. Once he takes note of how neglected and stagnant his life truly is, he decides to make some changes. Challenges arise through an unanticipated meeting. AU
To be honest, it’s been a while since I’ve read this, but I remember liking it A LOT when I went through it the first time. The author’s writing style is very unique and quite memorable, so I’d suggest it. Plus shenanigans.
The Life and Time of Genius Detective L Lawliet & Repentant Murder Light Yagami by mellodear
(Word count: 37,985) L manages to outwit Kira!Light but chooses not to have him executed. Instead, and because Light has no memory of having used the Death Note, he decides to help him redeem himself. Oh, and they fall in love somewhere along the way. Years later, a biography about them is published and it’s a best-seller. Here is why.
aslkfjasdfjsfljfljhglkdfblnfg. This fic. THIS FIC. I really wish I could succinctly describe how much I love this fic and how amazing it is but I will, sadly, fall short. It is literally one of my favorite fanfictions of all time, and I have read a LOT. Its just so very true to the characters, and does an excellent job as portraying L and Light not just as caricatures, but as human beings…. I just. Blah. Words. I feel dumb. Go read it, and it will speak for itself. Warning: be prepared for an onslaught of feels. You will not leave without battle scars on your heart.
——ONGOING:
And Indeed There Will Be a Time by lawlietismyfavorite
(Word count: 26,753) An alternate universe in which humans grow until the age of eighteen, and then are frozen in time until they find their soulmates, or “One.”
Aaaaaaah I love this fic so much!!! Light has not entered the scene yet (though its been promised), but the writing is just so lovely and out of this world. Its a fascinating premise, and Sara does a wonderful job executing it with style and gusto. It will tug on your heart strings, and I can’t wait to see where it goes.
Our Bodies, Possessed by Light by mellodear
(Word count: 57,957) L. Lawliet is a gifted photographer who believes he has understood the light and its secrets. Light Yagami is a young, narcissistic and slightly crooked model. Together, they kill time.
Yes, she is on the list again, because I love her writing so much and it absolutely killed me to limit myself to two of her stories. This is another example of her excellent characterization; keeping true to Light and L (and all their long-suffering companions) even in a different world and different professions. Its wonderful to read (her writing style is very evocative, and its so easy to see and feel everything that is going on), and quite fun as well. Go poke through her Ao3 account, there are literal goldmines there. You will find feels and angst and you’ll cry but it will be worth it.
Primitive Liars by nilah-xapiel
(Word count: 76,786 - also available on fanfiction.net) Light is a being of intellect, not of instinct. He tells himself this to the point of nausea, until his vision blurs and his hands shake.(Omegaverse AU.) Eventual LxLight.
I’ll be honest, I was a little hesitant getting into this because Omegaverse is really NOT my deal, but I read the first chapter and got hooked. The Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics and their affect on society (and ergo the characters) are examined closely and very well-explained, and more importantly, BELIEVABLE. It is handled respectfully and delicately while also not holding any punches. If that makes sense…. and also, the more intimate scenes are very… ahem, titillating, you could say. <3 Or, in other words, hot DAMN those scenes are steamy.
Stories About Stars by lawlietismyfavorite
(Word count: 55,794) College!AU: What would happen if Light Yagami had found the Death Note after he already started university? After he had already fallen in love with L?
Yes, she’s here again, I just adore her writing style so much. I said out of this world earlier and I should have saved it for this story (because ahaha star puns), but seriously this story has just a touch of the mystical and its reflected in the writing. The story is both wonderful and heartbreaking, and I’m seriously worried for how my poor soul is going to fare as we get farther along.
Those Who Stand For Nothing Fall for Anything by youcannotrelight
(Word count: 645,540 - also available on Ao3 in multiple parts under the name The Hinterland Doctrine) Light is a politician. What could go wrong?
Okay, do not be intimidated by the length. It is so. Very. Worth it. I LOVE THIS FIC SO MUCH I READ THROUGH IT IN THE PERIOD OF TWO DAYS. During FINALS week. That is how much I love this fic. Everybody is an asshole and everybody is so problematic, and there are SERIOUSLY dubious ethics and morals at play here (which the author disclaims ahead of time), but my God it is fun to read. It’ll tug on your heart at the strangest of times, and you’ll get emotional whiplash from how quickly you’ll switch from going “awww poor bby” to cussing them out while wanting to strangle them. *shrugs* It’s first person, so it threw me off at first, but its wonderfully done, and you should definitely give it a try.
—-HASN’T UPDATED IN A VERY LONG TIME:
Coexistence is Boredom by Sakurazukamori6
(Word count: 232,973) A new deathnote. A new plan for world sanctity. And an entirely misled Catholic clergy. Raito and L take their respective places on the sides of their own justice. A final battle waged in the Garden of Eden. LRaitoL. For a Brief Moment.
To be honest this is the fic I thought of when I was reading warpedchyld‘s tags. She’ll know what I mean. But its wonderfully written and presents an interesting dynamic between L and Light. Its both cute and hot, and you’ll definitely get frustrated (in more way than one *insert obnoxious winky face* while reading it). Its been a while since I’ve read it all the way through, but I remember it fondly. Definitely give it a shot. Its not complete, though, and I’m not sure if it ever will be.
Nights by youremyqueen
(Word count: 352,693 - also available on fanfiction.net) L imprisons Light and then Light imprisons L and then L imprisons Light again. Sometimes they have sex, too. [ADDING FROM THE AUTHOR’S NOTES BECAUSE I FIND IT NECESSARY] The actual summary is something like: L has sex with everyone, FOR JUSTICE. Except with lots of angsty monologuing. I kind of don’t know what I’m doing here, so bare with me, kids.
This fic is not for the faint of heart. I didn’t get into it initially because, frankly, its tags scared me off. But then I trudged into it and found it to my liking. Though maybe I’m just a sucker for the way she writes L. If you read it, you’ll know what I mean. Some seriously questionable stuff occurs and I’m not sure its addressed in a particularly appropriate manner, so give yourself a heads up ahead of time. Its been a while since I’ve read it, but I do go back to it occasionally.
(Honestly everyone should check out ALL of the works of these writers, but I am going to be ~chill~ and only post one or two stories for each otherwise this would have been much longer than it needed to be. Though it is much shorter than I was expecting. Maybe I’ve gotten pickier? Its probably because I have only been in this fandom for about six months, and I still have bookmarks upon bookmarks of fics I’m still trying to get through.)
warpedchyldI’m so sorry this took so long, but it took me a long time to comb through all my bookmarks and favorites on Ao3 AND fanfiction.net. I hope you enjoy these!!! They are all favorites of mine!!! <33
I double recommend all of this. I read most of them and they’re definitely A+++
i am looking for a fics that takes place in canon and has a slow build and inevitable smut. But like a nice long story. "Maybe i have feelings maybe i don't but I'm supposed to hate him." type stuff. i can't find a single one like that. thank you :)
Fanfictions where the characters suffer from a constant turmoil and a state of permanent confusion, so to speak? I only read L/Light fics, so here you go:
The Art of Drowning: It’s actually AU, but it happens within canon. You have to read in order to understand. Light Yagami questions his decisions as Kira because L influences him, and NOT for the fact that he is sexually/romantically attracted to L. It’s much deeper than that. They have shared a very strong bond, and it made them very confused about their choices. It’s very real.
Memento Mori: L questions his feelings for Light (it’s exactly what you’re looking for) because of his sexual and romantic attraction to him. L has to go through the trouble of fighting his feelings and struggling with his twisted sense of Justice because he knows that Light is Kira, and yet couldn’t kill him because of his feelings for him. It differs from the rest of the fanfictions with the same plot in that L is truly willing to pursue Justice, yet he treasures Light more than anything.
Coexistence is Boredom: The plot is a bit complicated but very fun. L has to go through the trouble of dealing with his feelings for Light in this one too; this time he even cries. It’s heartbreaking, but considerably less heartbreaking than most of the other works. It’s entertaining. The smut is there, too. All the smut is there.
Iridescence: A modern and quick fic with both L and Light going through turmoil, even though it doesn’t show. I can sense that it is what you’re looking for, because it feels like they’re hiding their true feelings from each other the whole time, and when it shows, it’s through fights and banter or words baited with poison. L keeps Light hostage after he learnt he was Kira, and refuses to turn him in (presumably due to his feelings for him). It’s somehow complex, but nice.
Stories About Stars: It’s AU, but I recommended it to you because the Death Note happens later in the story anyway. It’s a very simple story, but very, very beautifully written. Light simply catches feelings for L after they started their friendship, and he has trouble containing them at first. You will fall in love with it, because it’s very sensual and very romantic. The smut is not graphic. This story has the slowest build I’ve ever seen. It takes them so long to realize their feelings towards one another.
Disorder: AU. L and Light’s relationship is not tangible in this one; as in, they never even kiss, but they do harbor feelings towards one another and they do get very confused about it, which is reflected by their consistent banter. It’s very fun and the writing is spotless. They fight a lot, and they only do so because they’re attracted to one another. It’s very cute.
Death and His Shadow: This one is completely AU, so I apologize for that. Aside from the fact that this is so carefully executed and full of long adventures, L in particular has to suffer because of his feelings for Light, and Light becomes very confused about his relationship with L and his life choices, too. L is not human for a while.
Oneiromancy: Yotsuba!Light is turmoiled. Not yaoi (maybe). Very, very canon. The writing is excellent. One shot.
Neko: I haven’t read it, but it looks like something you might be interested in. I have read the writer’s other works, though, and their writing is good enough.
Illumination and Obscurity: Two one shots from the same author. Turmoiled Yotsuba!Light and L, very canon Lawlight. Very touching.
I know you’re not looking for one shots, but I had to recommend these to you either way because I know you’ll enjoy them (depending on what you asked me). I hope you like them, and if Neko’s any good, please tell me. It’s the only one I haven’t read from the list.
could you recommend me fics tha are similar to stories about stars? or anything that has astrology in it? :) thank you!
Ah, Stories About Stars: Relight is indeed one of a kind, and even though the plot isn’t exactly the most original one out there, both the writing and the portrayal of the characters’ emotions and feelings towards each other are stunning. Something beautiful, romantic, smooth, somehow fluffy and innocent. Yet deep, symbolic, philosophical, meaningful.. Let me just..
Pictures on Skin: It’s canon, and instead of stars, what symbolizes L and Light’s love is marks. Permanent marks on skin; like a tattoo, but even more beautiful. One shot.
Dreamt Of: A very short one shot. A late-night two-genius debate.
Only Lyrically: Light has trouble sleeping and L decides to sing him to sleep. What symbolizes L and Light’s love in this one shot is a song.
No, I love you more: L and Light express their love towards each other through a debate. L takes his love very seriously.
Change of Circumstances: AU where Light is a Wammy’s boy, and he and L love each other purely. It’s very, very touching. Many things symbolize their dedication towards one another, really. The writing is very beautiful. 100% recommended. One shot.
Miracles in December: Very, very romantic one shot. It’s just beautiful.
(Now And Then There’s) A Fool Such As I: AU where L and Light are two high schoolers who love each other and who confess their love through text-messaging. It’s very cute, and short.
Solitude: Canon, and very touching. Fluffy. The writing is brilliant, and somehow romantic. One shot. Read it at night.
Also, if you enjoyed Stories About Stars, then try reading the newest fanfiction from the same author, called And Indeed There Will Be Time. It’s the exact kind of writing you’re looking for, and I’m sure it’s very symbolic and meaningful, because that’s how it seems to be, even though I haven’t read it yet.
I tried searching for fics with “Astrology” or “Stars” but I haven’t found anything. This is why Stories About Stars is so original, you see, for I haven’t found anything similar to its conception, at all.
Also, if you’re looking for something symbolic, though not necessarily romantic, because the characters are portrayed as very complex and profound, check out Our Bodies, Possessed by Light. This one’s plot is very original too, and very creative. Art is the main conception, with a few symbolisms here and there. Or maybe there are tons; I can’t really remember. It’s very beautiful and thought-provoking, nonetheless. The writing is powerful.
Do you have any fic recommendations that include Naomi in them? I've been really struggling to find a fic with her lately. Thank you!!!
They will have to include the famous Beyond Birthday, however! Ah, finally. Beyond Birthday. I was tired of all the Lawlight asks.
B and Naomi:
Death Note BEYOND: Not necessarily shippy. B and Naomi go on a mission. VERY entertaining.
Change of Plans: Not necessarily shippy. B and Naomi have lunch together. One shot.
Beyond Distracting: Shippy. One shot. It’s handled from Beyond’s point of view, however. Naomi Misora is there, though. You’ll enjoy it either way. Stick with me, more are coming. It’s just that Naomi’s fics are very, very few.
Trick or Treat: This is literally the most shippy BxNaomi fic there is. It’s a long one shot, but has graphic smut and everything. I think it’s the only fic in the entire fandom that has B and Naomi actually having sex. I enjoyed it as a whole. They’re even engaged :)
There’s some B/Naomi in Our Bodies, Possessed by Light too.
If you’re especially interested in BxNaomi, you can always choose what to read from this list containing 64 fanfictions (3 pages) on ff.net.
L and Naomi:
I’m not interested in this combination so much, although they do make an incredibly sexy team. I have found you these:
Case Studies (100% recommended. the writing is excellent)
Sugar and Spice by willpursue
Koseki
Unintentional
Wrong Impression
Fates Intertwined
What If
Light and Naomi:
I don’t ship these two (though they would definitely be cute together) but you can check out this list of 21 fanfictions on ff.net and maybe decide something you would like to read, if you ship it. The thing with Light/Naomi is that it has to be shippy, or else it’s just about how Light killed Naomi, because there aren’t many things bringing them together, and that’s a tragedy; they would have made an excellent team.
Also, there’s Mello/Naomi by willpursue if you’re interested: (Un)familiar Faces
Many of the fics I recommended are not necessarily romantic, in case you weren’t specifically looking for romance. The thing is, Naomi Misora is never the hero of her own story. She’s always working next to someone who’s most likely L or B. Whether her relationship with them is romantic or not depends on the fic.
Any fantasy AUs that don't involve vampires or werewolves? I just read ForestofInk's werewolf AU Clair de Lune (which is beautiful, frightening and so atmospheric) and wondered if there were any more fantasy AUs out there. :D
Clair de Lune by xforestofinkx surely looks amazing! Even though I’m not interested in fantasy, I might give it a shot one day. There’s also pray for us sinners by deathnoting and it’s a very short Vampire AU one shot.
Here’s a one shot you will love. It’s Poison Apple: Grimmer Than Grimm which is not connected to the original plot of Poison Apple, and features L and Light in a Disney princess fairytale, where Light is a prince/king, and L is a fairytale person. It’s beautiful. Also, the whole story of Poison Apple has Disney fairytale symbolisms, and it’s definitely fantasy. The first twelve chapters are canon symbolizing fantasy, then it turns into a horror fantasy. It’s just indescribable. Mind-blowing.
Important edit: You will definitely be interested in Hero of Justice, Light! by llawlietofficial. This one is the fantasy you’re looking for, too :)
You might be interested in Scarlet Letter, featuring Beyond Birthday. It’s horror, and the story itself is.. well, fantastic. No, seriously, it’s the most amazing Beyond Birthday fanfiction I’ve read. Written by the author of Poison Apple. Would you be interested in Detective Fiction?
True Elision is horror and not fantasy, but it deals with the afterlife, demons, shinigami, lost souls.. It’s very scary, and includes gore. This one breaks the ff.net website in my opinion. It’s an actual book.
You might be interested in the one shot Through Hallowed Windows where L is a ghost, and End of the Line by the same author, where it’s situated in the afterlife.
Infection isn’t exactly fantasy, but it’s horror and kind of science-fiction, I think? The thing with modern writing is that fantasy and science-fiction are hardly separated. Death Note itself has its fair share of supernatural things.
I can’t really detect the good fantasy fanfictions through searching alone, because some very good ones are hidden and not reviewed enough, which makes them hard to find. Poison Apple: Grimmer Than Grimm is the only true fantasy (and brilliant) fanfiction I could find, and the others I recommended are close enough.
Hi! I absolutely LOVE your blog!! ❤️ But just a quick question: Are there any really long Lawlight fics you recommend? I really want to get hooked on a long one! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:✧
:O Thank you, tweezees bae <3 The longest fanfiction in the entire fandom is Those Who Stand For Nothing Fall For Anything (over 600k words), though it’s completely AU, and not canon.
Nights is very long and canon, and there’s also Poison Apple, True Elision, Death and His Shadow, Wammy University, Second Chances (very long, most long after Those Who Stand), The Art of Drowning, Second Chance, Coexistence is Boredom, Silence (you would have to read its prequel Asylum first, to understand it). Also, you might be interested in Shorts and Sweets which is a collection of drabbles in 266 chapters (it includes all characters, not just L and Light.) Dotti55′s works are so long too, and they’re all Lawlight.
Do you know of any fics that have transgender characters in au or oc. :-)
Transgender Death Note fanfictions? I found you some that are relevant enough.
ficlet by @capitaineblackbird where L is transgender (Tumblr prompts). I’m not sure if it’s Lawlight, but it’s close enough. (special thanks to talesofsymphoniac for showing it to me!)
He Smiles: Transgender!Matt AU. MelloxMatt. (first MelloxMatt fanfiction I ever recommended oh my god this is huge)
What Makes a Man: Transgender!Mello AU. MelloxMatt. I don’t think it’s shippy, because it’s not romance. (second MelloxMatt fanfiction I ever recommended oh my god this is huge)
Born a Girl: One shot. MelloxMatt. (third MelloxMatt fanfiction I ever recommended oh my god why are all the transgender AUs MxM why not Lawlight)
Shower: This might be only a gender-swap fic, but you would have to read it to find out. One shot. LxLight.
Also, Primitive Liars is the new hit; it’s an Omegaverse with gender fluidity and things I’m not knowledgeable on at all, but you might like it! It’s really good and becoming very popular these days, even though I have little idea on what it’s talking about. LxLight.
And there’s been this ficlet on Tumblr called Justice Has No Gender but it’s not on Tumblr anymore because its writer’s blog got deleted, so that sucks.
I hope I helped!
“Like any other puzzle, case, or brain teaser, this feminine enigma fascinates him. The way she talks back, questions his authority; her stubborn streak, strengthened by intelligence and her own moral compass. In this fashion, and in thousands of other nonverbal ways, Naomi Misora begs for his attention.”
— Case Studies (LxMisora)
HELP FINDING DELETED DEATH NOTE FANFICS FROM AO3!!
This is a Hail Mary but there were two Death Note Lawlight fanfic that was deleted last year that I’ve been crying about losing ever since so I figured I might as well see if anything comes up here.
I’m dumb af so I don’t know the titles or authors of either of them
1) It was the regular Death Note universe but everyone had quirks like in My Hero Academia. Ryuk was Light’s twin and they both had death-type quirks (aka Death Notes) and Light also had a fire quirk. L had a quirk that copied quirks and stored them in his body so Watari had to use a special amulet(?) that kept him from overloading. There was a lot of discussion about quirk discrimination and vigilantism.
2) Light was proven to be Kira and was in a cell waiting transfer when he tried to unalive himself. L faked Light’s death and took him to a house(?) where he tried to help him treat his mental health problems. Eventually L realized he was in over his head and Light was taken to a mental hospital to recover. He had a particular fear of picking up/using writing utensils. After a while people found out that Light was alive and he had to give a speech on tv with the help of L, Near, Matt, and Mello. The speech worked and he got to live in peace with L.
If anyone can decipher my shitty summaries and know these fics please tell me bc I’m dying
“He continues with his work, utterly expressionless: studying profiles and accessing webcams, typing emails and processing letters as Naomi clings and slides and kisses—easing in and out and up and down and using him as any other woman might use a vibrator or sex toy.”
— Case Studies (LxMisora)
Guys please someone help me find this fic 😭🙏🙏🙏 it's light/kira x reader smut and reader almost outs him as Kira and slips up, so light sorta punishes reader and L watches on the security cams trying to figure out what reader meant when she almost slipped up
if anyone has death note slasher aus or fics pretty please send them my way 🥺🥺 especially if it’s meronia
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
New chapter is up!
Hello Tumblr, I come here asking for Death Note fic recommendations. Preferably between 20k and 200k words (though if they're really good you can share some shorter or longer ones too). Can be shippy or gen. I really like plotty fics ans ones that focus on different relationships. I love canon compliant fics most but AUs are fine too, just ones that still include the existence of Death Note (Light is Kira but something is different, Light isn't Kira but still has the Death Note, Light doesn't have the Death Note, something goes completely different and changes everything, and so on). I have also read LA BB Murder Cases so anything related to that I'd also be really happy to read.
