[death note] three pages
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.

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 should.
Oh, man, sorry -- I should be putting this ramble elsewhere, uh, sorry to dump on you. ._. Thank you for the love!

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)

Light is absolutely sociopathic, down to a T, but he is also very cautious. I kind of think that despite his giant ego, he regards L/Ryuuzaki as a worthy opponent at least at some level, because he managed to keep him on his toes whereas (especially by the time this story is occurring right after L's death) he looks at everyone else after him with utter contempt. What he regrets, I suppose I'm trying to say, is that he's killed off the person making life interesting for him.
Besides, maybe L had mechanisms and schemes in place for the chance that he died. Which he kind of did. xD
And yeah; it's in 13, but apparently L was lying through his teeth. It kind of makes me sad, but it makes things interesting for the who-is-manipulating-who-more game. L gets written off as defeated by his feelings, but I don't think it was quite that way at all.
(Oh, you didn't? You're right, though, that was a painful thing to see. I'm interested to work on Near a bit more, because I have super special plot bunnies brewing for him. >.>)
