What if L doesn’t actually give a fuck about justice, like at all, and he literally just finds criminals that he wants to assist him/chill with and he just likes to threaten super harsh sentencing in order to make them work really hard to escape him. So he really has no intention of killing Light ever, he just wanted Kira to bring his best game. So when he wins, but he’s like “Good job, you did well, almost had me there, you slippery rascal. I mean, I won of course but…Hahaha, what? Death penalty? Oh! Nah, totally not worth it. You just work for me now, whenever I want. Yeah, I totally own you now. Let’s go have an Asshole Party and eat cake with Aiber and Wedy. I own them too; this is going to be great. Welcome to the family.”
