fantastic

i'm just an idiot who relates to L relating to Light, you know? [unc \\ INFP \\ AO3]

[nearuyo]

Thinking about how Light and L were very close in the eyes of the task force.

L saying he considered Light his first friend, them spending all those months together 24/7, Light working with him despite being chained up and the first suspect. The way Light seemed to be the only one who could understand L, or the first to understand what he was saying. Light holding L in his arms when he died, being the first to react, and to be the one who needed one more moment in his grave.

At least one of them had to think there was something more going on likeee

[waxalas]

why did you name whn "we're here now" what's the history behind it?

it's a secret that shall be revealed once the fic is complete

[chewtakesover]

something something theres some weird magic event that ends up splitting L into two halves. one of them is like Near and one of them is like Mello.

Light has to babysit both parts, because Near-L is unable to look after himself and perform basic adult tasks, and Mello-L crashes out like clockwork, wants to brawl with Light and lock him up as Kira, punch Near-L in the face so he could prove he's better. and also because Mello-L blames Near-L for locking B up or something.

something something Light gets to know L incredibly intimately as these two halves keep clashing and hurting one another with incredible precision. seeing how repressed and underestimated and undervalued the emotional Mello-L feels, how upset Mello-L is about how much of himself he's been having to sacrifice every day to progress on his cases, while the Near-L feels isolated and lonely and forever wishing he was more in touch with Mello-L, that Mello-L could forgive him for his shortcomings.

Whatever We Want to Be

Rated T, No Archive Warnings Apply, 5.1k words

Summary: In order to distract L from the Kira investigation, Light pretends to have a crush on him. It's a difficult role to play, as Light has never had a crush on anyone before. But with time, Light starts to question the nature of his feelings for L. Is Light simply dedicated to beating his rival, or could his obsession with L be the sign of a gay awakening?

Which one of your fics do you like most and why?

🌹♥️💍We're Here Now 💍♥️🌹

It's my first fic, it's my biggest project, it's essentially my LawLight thesis... When I say in the end note that it's a piece of my soul, I'm /srs.

Cringefail AU (unpublished) is a close second but it's different. I really like Cringefail, but WHN is just... something else. I don't really know how to explain it beyond "I poured my heart into it." Cringefail is a release for my feelings. WHN is just... me. I guess. I don't even know my dude. WHN is extremely special to me.

Would you team up with Beyond in another note if you could, or would you go against him to catch his ass and put him in your closet forever? Or whatever you want. Secret options are allowed

Well. I would go against him because that's just more fun, and once he forgot all about L and just paid attention to me, then I would let him catch my ass and then we could hold hands forever :)

[waxalas]

Help, I'm intimidated by my own fic.

Can you get annoyed? Plz

"There's also the differences with Light, BeyondLaw vs LawLight..." yap about it unc i f you want to

Okay so I know I'm obsessed with identity issues but it's my angle so just humor me. I think with Beyond it's quite obvious (W&S is kind of my thesis on this), but I think Light has them too. I wrote about it here.

Beyond projects his identity issues onto L, but Light projects them onto Kira, L's rival. So from L's perspective, I think Light is a lot more intriguing. It actually leaves room for L to play against someone else. I think Light is flattering to L in a way Beyond can only pretend to be, and I think L can build something with Light when he can only really tear Beyond down.

I know people say Light is fake af etc, but I don't really see him that way all that much. I think Light is pretty strong tbh, and Beyond is the one who's fabricated. I just love thinking of Beyond as a predecessor for Kira. It's so tragic, like if he fixated on becoming L when really... he was just L's trial run all this time...

I'm probably just drawn to dysfunctional BeyondLaw and then healthy LawLight lmao. From L's POV, it's hurt/comfort. BeyondLaw is the hurt and LawLight is the comfort.

I think it's writing Mind Haze that kinda put this idea in my head, and I really need to think about it further before spewing more nonsense, but I intend to write a BeyondLaw prequel to explore this. How they had something strong, too, but ultimately unstable. BeyondLaw fails the soulmate test but LawLight passes.

Anyway. Obviously I'm not tied to this, I like thinking about different scenarios, but I think this is what I tend to gravitate towards, especially when the three of them are involved. It's what I did in WHN and Mind Haze, and it's what I plan to do in my grief AU... But I will give BeyondLaw a happy ending one day, I promise! Possibly starting with this AU (which was really about me wanting to write a strong friendship teehee).

How many crimes have you committed in the last half year? 🌸🌷

oh thank god you asked the last half year so i could answer ✨zero✨

[waxalas]

Does anyone else get tremendous amounts of anxiety about what's on their blog?

Hmm.

Yeah. Sorry I delete half the stuff half the time. That's still half the stuff. No, it's not a quarter. Don't do that, man.

[waxalas]

What if Rue Ryuzaki was L's real name? And no one knows this except Watari, and then B? Like, L doesn't know.

It would be fun if Watari was annoyed at B for knowing the truth, for being a security breach, while B gets a kick out of it because it makes his weird ass name kind of like L's - that's why he gets obsessed with double letters.

Then L uses Ryuzaki as an alias because why not, Watari is visibly nervous about it but it's too late to say anything. L thinks it has to do with B, there's a strange sort of uneasiness around it that feels like B and L likes it.

But what I'm really getting at is that L and Light are then partaking in this beautiful intimacy of using L's real name with each other without even knowing. L's biggest secret, Light's strongest desire, and it's right there in the open for them to see but ofc they don't because they're too busy looking at each other.
