November 2025 Drabble Challenge – Recap 5/6

Here's an overview of our fifth batch of five drabbles for @thedrabblecollective's challenge! All 100 words, all up on AO3 :3

21- diary [G] Death Note (possibly one-sided Mello/Near, 2009 in manga timeline, item description)

Mello’s childhood diary sits forgotten.

22- table [G] Inception (Eames character study)

They each prepare for the job in different ways.

23- witch [T] Death Note (Mello/Near, successor arc era, witch!Near – based on @neallo's a will, a way)

“By the time I was faced with my work, it had been years since I had done magic of any kind.”

24- school [G] Death Note (Matt/Mello/Near, "they're all domestic aquatic animals" AU, not quite crack but not serious)

In which our now-aquatic OT3 live out a wonderful life in a suitable habitat with proper enrichment.

25- windscreen [G] Death Note (Matt/Mello/Near, post-canon, alive Matt & Mello, stream of consciousness)

Mello is taking his sweet time with the Christmas shopping.

You can find all of our drabbles for this challenge in our Drabble Challenge November 2025 series!

Oh my god thank you

meronia is really really great because if i was a guy with low functioning autism and zero love in my life i would also want my higher functioning onesided childhood rival who hates me so much that he thinks of me more than anything else to blow my back out

My comments on the "There's nothing I hate more but something I can't have" from @neallo.

I read the whole story only yesterday and I am not only impressed but also shocked. This is probably the best fic I've ever read in my life. I felt the need to get in touch as someone who is interested in writing I story telling.

I plan to engage in writing, learn how to express myself properly and describe the event as precisely as possible, so that I capture the essence, do not repeat words and portray the characters realistically. So that when I read the story later, I want to insert myself into it in a such way that I have the feeling that it is actually happening. That's exactly what Neallo succeeded in doing.

Here are some comments on the writing:

1) Each of the characters has its own character that is upgraded on the simpler basis of what we have in manga and anime

2) The scenes are described extremely precisely with a lot of details and without unnecessary embellishments.

3) The realism of absolutely everything, from the reactions and behavior of the characters to the entire course of events. Without any dull fantastic moments.

4) Perfectly depicted behavior and thinking of young people with extraordinary intelligence, living in the modern age

5) Sex scenes are described without any exaggeration, without sugarcoating, just the way sex really looks like in real life

6) Thoughts of characters are very human-like

8) Characters in different states, sober and drunk, perfectly described

9) Gracefully introduced internal struggles and conflicts of the main character (Mello) without exaggeration, exactly the way people think and face their own problems

10) Mat's character was lit in all scenes

I have to say that I see these things differently, of course, as we all actually do have our own personal head cannons. And surprisingly neallo's Mello is much alike my post kira 20 years old, fucked up Near. That's that puking out when you have to deal with emotions, that lustful needs, that analytical thinking, that pissy/bossy attitude. Only difference is that my Near usually hides his inner thoughts with his perfectly strict, cold and cool facade. And actually no one knows how extremely horny and pissed off he actually is. Which is different in your Mello, who is open about it. On other hand my Mello is much more feeling like. He wouldn't rationalize his emotions like never, he too can't face them and will probably storm out. He would live in denial to that point it would be a pure delusional madness. He wouldn't face it at all, with my Mello and Near, near isn't enough emotionally strong to state out his feelings (like. Never), and Mello would have to hunt him down which would drastically complicate the situation given that Mello on his own doesn't know what he feels about Near and mentally can't take the fact that he likes him. And for Matt, the psychoanalyst is a literal canon to me and even more, as it's actually great deal of his personality, but again, unlike your characters, more emotional, bit less rational. He would however work far better if to Mello it could actually be said, like, what actually is.. but like, my Matt has to specially pack things for Mello on way he wouldn't freak out.

Haha, anyways, I appreciate seeing the different versions of my three favorite characters that are dancing on my mind for like five years. I will do an art of these two, but I'll show them bit different then I usually draw my Mello and Near. (I already have a perfect picture in my damn head how they look like, exactly Mello)

Overall, this peace of art was MIND-BLOWING and I hope more people will read it.
