Title: Lightning Strikes Twice
Rating: R
Genre: Angst
Summary: AU from near the end of the Yotsuba arc. A tissue of coincidence and an obsessive heir to a criminal syndicate half-unearth the name of a dead teenager and a corresponding event in L’s past, and both L’s shaken mind and Light’s curiosity won’t allow it to be simply reburied afterward.

Just when it looks like things are wrapping up, another set of drama pops up; I'm really liking this. I still say this is a great alternative way of wrapping up Higuchi's end and that whole period that doesn't involve L getting killed. I especially like how things were pretty much wrapped up with Rem (and Ryuk's appearance was pure win). The fact a Foxfield is still lurking around is intriguing. Light's dream really has me curious and the whole connections between K and A also have my head spinning and wanting to see what you come up with next.

Thanks. 'Course, I spring L from his canon fate by saddling him with more problems, and from this point the main plot should really get rolling. While I was dealing with the Kira/shinigami/investigation side of things, I thought Ryuk should at least cameo. :) Light does have a bit of memory-leak going on.

Working on the next installment now, and I hope I won't keep you waiting too long.

Each chapter draws me in a little more. I love this series for everything it is. The angst, the kink (for which I refuse to apologize) and yes, especially for having L survive.

Thanks for updating so quickly.

You're welcome. I'll try not to slow down too much.

An apology would be entirely unnecessary anyway - this got started with the kink meme, after all. :) Yup, L lives. My ending to the first fic (where he was still hurtling toward his canonical end) left me pretty down, so have an upper... eventually. >_>
