AU where Light never picks up the notebook and goes on to join the NPA, eventually following in his father's footsteps as chief.
The first L has retired (which is a nice way of saying he's disappeared and no one can track him down), forcing his successor Near to take up the mantle.
Years later, the chief of the NPA is summoned by L to help track down a serial killer.

Near can’t think of a more ridiculous way to spend the holiday season than having Kira accompany him while looking for a limited edition festive model train set. Or, Near braves the Christmas shopping crowd and runs into Light Yagami.
Silly fic of Near and Light Christmas shopping that I wrote as a gift for myself 🫶 Light finally gets Ryuk a silver Game Boy Advance SP, and Near doesn't know what to do with the information that Kira is a Mario fan.
Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.
thinking about Matsuda in the epilogue. The manga epilogue chapter, set a year after yellowbox, where Matsuda and Ide discuss Light and Kira, even though the world’s mostly gone back to pre-Kira. And it’s clear from Ide that Matsuda’s theories around what happened on the 28th come up a lot. Matsuda thinks that Near used the notebook on Mikami, and that he fed Mello the information he needed to manipulate him into kidnapping Takada and proving the notebook as fake. And it’s so, so painfully clear that Matsuda is desperately clinging onto anything that would make Light seem more sympathetic. That all the cards were stacked against him, that Near was secretly evil and self-serving too, that maybe Light didn’t even have a choice in what happened at Yellowbox. Because, as Ide said, Matsuda cared about Light. More than the others. He’s wracked by guilt over what happened- who wouldn’t be? Matsuda’s light-hearted, optimistic personality he even managed to keep during the whole Kira case is reduced to a facade, a mask of his old self. He’s depressed. He’s angry. He’s grasping at straws to justify the past five years of his life spent devoted to and admiring a serial killer who saw him as nothing more than the dirt beneath his boot. Someone he thought he could trust. Someone he literally risked his life to protect, when he told Mello he was acting as L, so prevent Soichiro from having to expose Light’s identity as L. Kira may be evil, but Light was good, right? So Kira couldn’t be truly evil, because Light wasn’t; couldn’t be.
i’m thinking about Matsuda in the epilogue.
