My Favorite Death Note/L Fanfics
I thought I'd share some of my favorite Death Note fanfics- all of which ironicly place L in a romantic relationship. If you're looking for LxLight pairings, you'll be dissapointed. All of these are OC females. I'm sorry, but that's just what I prefer. If I wanted a yaoi, I'd find something that paired the other Whammy kids together, like MelloxMatt. There's no way in hell I'm taking L there. If I had absolutly no choice, then I would pair him with Beyond Birthday... not Light! I know I keep saying this and never producing anything, but eventually, I will have my own Death Note fanfics up. I just need to fit the writing time into my schedule somehow.
Before I Fade- LxOC; Story Status: Completed; Rated: M
My absolute favorite!!! Mel is such a good writer!
Summary:
L is about to begin his investigation on the Kira case. He saves a girl from getting beaten, but due to a concussion, she doesn't remember why she was being chased. Will his feelings cost his life, or save him, and change his life forever?
Out of His Element- LxOC; Story Status: Completed; Rated: M
This one was so incredibly sad, but it was very well written! It's one of the stories that depicts L as sweet and virginal. he falls in love with one of the university students during the brief time he attends Light's college. I should mention she happens to have a 4 year old. Seeing L's interactions with her son is super cute! Did I mention it's really sad?
Shinigami Child- LxOC; Story Status: Completed; Rated T
This one is really long, but I really enjoyed going back to L's childhood and basically seeing him grow up. He and the OC are childhood best friends and they eventually fall in love, but they are both so clueless and emotionally immature that they can't see it. This manages to catch L's perverted side. ^_^
Summary:
On September 18th 1980 a girl is born with the ability to reconize death notes and shinigami without touching a death note. And if that wasn't enough, she also has a tie to L but does she have the ability to save him?
Pieces of Me-LxOC; Story Status:On Going; Rated: M
Another story written by Mel and a co-writer. I cannot begin to say enough positive things about Mel's writing ability! This story doesn't take place during the Kira investigation. this is all about L in his hormonal teenage years. It's hilarious!!!
Summary:
What's a poor genius detective in-training to do when he's constantly battling his adolescent hormones and the urge to jump his best friend? And does she feel the same?
Haunted: An Unlikely Love Story-LxMisa; Story Status:Incomplete; Rated: M
Yet another one from Mel! I'm normall not much for the LxMisa pairing, but this is just so damn beautiful!! This was inspired by the book A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb. I did a LJ review on this book about half a year ago. I really hate she hasn't updated this story in over a year and it's only 6 chapters! I encourage you to raed it reguardless! It's just such a beautiful concept! L is a ghost in this story!
Summary:
Misa's entire world gets interrupted when someone very familiar shows up to take care of some unfinished business. Oddly, her uninvited guest died 4 years earlier. Though L is out to punish "her" Light, some things happen when you least expect it.
A Slight Dilemma- Lx Kagome Story Status:On Going; Rating: T
This is a Death Note/Inuyasha crossover. I'm not so sure about pairing L with Kagome. I see L as more of a Sango or Kikyo sort of guy. Nevertheless, I really like the idea of combining the two stories. This particular story connects Ryuk all the way back to the Feudal era and shows the weaknesses that shinigamis have with mikos. I like it.
Summary:
Kagome learns of Kira and his power. She has a feeling a shinigami she met in the past is somehow connected.
