Sooooo I’ve Been Into Death Note

you and me both (Next in Line AU)

Rated G | 4,320 words | read on AO3

Light Yagami misses the notebook by minutes, allowing him to lead a normal life and eventually succeed his father as Chief of the NPA. Following the sudden disappearance of the first L, Near is rushed into taking up the mantle and continuing his work before the world notices. When a series of murders takes the world by storm, Chief Yagami discovers the truth behind a situation that has been developing in the background of his life for well over ten years. Together with L, they assemble the pieces of a case left behind by their predecessors.

Day 2 of @dnrarepairweek | Prompt: SUCCESSORS

A snippet of my upcoming AU, "Next in Line".

Light yagami!??? More like LOSER yagami

To other autistic people, what's your current special interest?

nia

how am i supposed to go to work when im literally thinking about The Character

crack AU where L gets fed up with the task force complaining about him being chained to Light, snaps, and just brings in Near with the explanation that the issue is clearly that L is too old and Light should be supervised by someone within his age range. Cut to Light being absolutely livid for being demoted to a babysitter and getting chained to said baby (he doesn't know that Near is actually 13 and not like... 6. this also means he feels utterly insulted by L by calling Near "someone within Light's age range"). Fast forward a bit and Light and Near are actually getting along, which results in Watari overhearing L muttering "it should have been me..." more than once, with a depressed expression.

Day 6 & 7 of @dnrarepairweek | Prompts: PROXIMITY & JUDGEMENT

We interrupt this showdown to bring you an intervention ft. Near and Light who have a serious discussion about where their colleagues' priorities lie.

Lightnear but Near is the one chasing after Light. ❤️ It is just so fun to think about Near flirting with Light and Light just… he has no idea if he’s being serious or if he’s only messing with him to get him to confess AND that just makes it even better for me. They’re so entertaining to think about and put into situations with their different personalities. (๑>◡<๑)

I may have a lot of complaints about Masters, but what I won't complain about is the crumbs of interaction and mentions these two have with one another. Please, I need them to be a nasty and snarky rivalry that their tension becomes extremely palpable to everyone around them, AAAAAA

(and yes, they would definitely kiss off screen lmao)
