Why this must be read:

This luxuriously written fanfic is a languid, beautiful, poignant love affair between Aiber and L, an extremely rare pairing within the Death Note fandom. It would be notable just for the rarity of the pairing, but it's much more than that. It's so well-written that it lingered in my mind long after I'd read it. It's not just smut, even though it manages to be hot without any trouble. The sex isn't fully described, but there's a lot more going on here than merely sex. There is a plot, along with insights into the characters of L, Aiber and Light.

Though it contains many things that don't happen in canon, is isn't fully AU. It is easy to imagine the events of this fanfic as unshown background scenes interwoven with the actual plot of Death Note.

If you haven't watched the anime up to episode 25, or you haven't read the manga up to the equivalent chapter 59 (in volume 7), do not read this fanfic because it contains big spoilers, and also because you won't understand the context. If you have gotten that far, then read this fanfic for an excellent, bittersweet treat.
