Oh, man. Another new fandom for me. >.> This is a test-run for future DN stuff which may or may not happen, also this is me getting my feet wet. Bless.

Living with ghosts has never been easy. Spoilers up to the end of the (manga) series.

( And you will forget: death or life will take him from your minds. )

Oh, yes. Yes you do. Beautiful writting style, I liked them all, and I can't decide which is my favourite. I loved Near's characterization, and you managed well Light and his regrets (exactly how I imagine him, if he were prone to feeling guilty ^^)

Thanks, it was nice to read it before going to sleep ;D (it's six in the morning here. Guh. Sorry if I didn't make sense.)

Awww, thanks. ♥ I appreciate the compliments immensely, because it's always a little intimidating coming into a new fandom. XD

Near was probably my favorite bit to write; he's presented so childlike, but there's this ferocious intelligence in there, and there's a big part of me that thinks that he'll try so hard to make up for Mello's absence in his own way. He kind of makes my heart hurt like that.

Light, on the other hand ... the Light in my head is batshit crazy and will spend the rest of his life thinking L is haunting him just to mess with him. He'll probably never touch another piece of cake again. XD Seriously, though, with Light, I really think he thought of Ryuuzaki as a friend, and I can't wait to play with the Amnesia chapters. It's easy to see how L fell for him it, even though he didn't really. It kind of depresses me to know that L was really lying when he said that Light was his first true friend. I kind of think Light might feel guilty, just not in a conventional fashion, or at least not for the reasons he ( ... )

I can understand that XD I'm a "one fandom at time" person, so it's a bit scary to change. Don't worry about the ramble, I'm pretty spazzy in my own XDDD

For me, Light is more like a cold, sociopath villian. I don't think he ever shows any emotion for others, 'cept when he's faking it (and in the Yotsuba Arc). Also, I don't think the Death Note had all the fault in his change... The DN is just a mean, but the darkness was lurking inside him anyway. About L... Was he lying when he said that, for real? perhaps I missed it in the manga *facepalm* that changes everything XD

(As a curious fact, I didn't like Near at all until the end, when we learn he KNOWS about his own weakness, and his special way to mourn Mello. That was painful. TwT)

I'm still clinging to KH, and I'm still pretty new over there, but ... yeah. DN it is, at least for the time being. I have never learned this thing called restraint ( ... )

....♥ ♥ ♥ Okay, so you said you'd written more DN fic, so I had to read this, and it is so amazingly pretty. I CAN'T EVEN MAKE ENOUGH HEARTS.

This just completely captures the feeling of Death Note, and the parentheses are a really nice touch. (I especially love Light's section, too; the ending of it just... really hurt, I guess.)

And I really really have to leave now, but much love to both fics! ^^
