Fandom: Death Note
Pairings: None
Rating: T
Summary: Almost two years after the arrest of Kira, Near has finally succeeded L, but his reign hasn’t gone unchallenged. Faced with an unsolvable string of murders threatening both his position and his life, the third L must seek help from an unlikely (and unlikable) source: his imprisoned predecessor, Light Yagami.
AN: As some of you may remember from *coughs in embarrassment* three months ago *cough*, I ran a contest in which the top three finishers were promised short fic as a prize. Since I am trash at long last rediscovering the glorious concept of “free time,” I’ve finally had time to sit down and work on the promised prizes.
First up: swordsinthesnowdrift–who’s ending up with quite a bit more than she bargained for because “Light survives the series and ends up in Near’s custody AU” just so happens to be my favorite AU as well, so what was supposed to be a one-off is instead Chapter One of at least a twelve chapter saga with alternating Near/Light viewpoint chapters. I’d say I were sorry, but I’m not. At all.

I think the saddest mischaracterization of N is that sometimes, he's just not allowed to be as much of a bastard as he was meant to. Like, I understand where the idea of him being mild mannered and cordial and pleasant comes from; he's not an overtly aggressive character who's an asshole at every turn and him being kind is definitely an aspect of who he is. It's just not all of him and it's a shame we don't utilize his bitchy side more. But that side of him, specifically the way he can be very passive aggressive and/or condescending I feel is slept on and we should utilize it more.
And my personal favorite, from Pokemon Adventures/Pokespe:
And obviously, he's not like this the majority of the time. His dialogue mostly ranges from at least tolerating the people around him without any rudeness to being a genuinely nice and caring guy (especially in B2&W2, where he is noticeably kinder.) I just think it's a bit of a crime that we ignore that he at least has the capacity to behave this way in the first place and I think he should be allowed to do it more often. I want N to call more people stupid. As a treat.
my silly ass is NOT passing math class
Ghetsis during BW: We must act with outmost caution. Our victory won't be secured unless we have enough of the Unovan population on our side as N claims the title as the strongest trainer in the region, and later, the world. Let's unleash our big stupid castle at the most opportune moment, mm? Ghetsis during BW2: *Hobbling about in front of his conspiracy cork-board* So if we find this big stupid fucking ice dragon you science idiots can plug some USB into it and fuck this pissy little shit region right in the asshole with an ice laser or something listen I don't fucking care just make them PAY, COLRESS HOW'S THE DEVELOPMENT OF MY AIRSHIP?? WHY CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING ON TIME?? I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE LACK OF MONEY I'M OUTLAWED, FIGURE IT OUT IF YOU'RE SO SMART. Someone pour me like five glasses of wine I'm getting my strangly hands, and you won't like me when I get my strangly hands. When this region is nothing but death and ice I'm firing all of you. This is all N's fault. It's not easy being this right about everything literally all the time (where's my stress ball).
