Brief summary: L/Misa. This features an L that is more manipulative (even twisted) than what one typically sees in fic. I feel sad for Misa, but also for L - he's hollow in many ways. The description is wonderful, but not overbearing.


"Mm," L muses to himself, picking up another candy and twisting it between his fingertips. It melts a little, leaving sticky trails that he carefully licks away. He feels a heavy weight coiling in his stomach, too much sugar making him feel sluggish and a little sick. He is familiar with the sensation, however, and prefers to ride it out. There are some things, some perversities and forms of sickness, that can be useful, if you treat them right.

Brief summary: What if Misa and Matt switched places? I admit to being skeptical when linked to a Mello/Misa (and background Light/Matt) fic, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. There are some interesting parallels drawn between Misa and fanon!Matt.
