First off, hello to those who are new to my journal. I believe there was some kind of friending frenzy a while back and so I have some new people on the flist. I've finally gotten around to friending you back-- sorry that it has taken so long. Do pop over and say hello, and tell me about yourself. If you come bearing fic recs you will be given

Light & L
PokerfaceAfter L is dead, Yagami Light feels exactly what he had always assumed he would: nothing. No anger, remorse, or shame. Not even a preoccupation with the man who had, of all the people in the universe, come closest to being his friend. So it all seems a bit tawdry and pointless when his hand is forced into the charade of L, keeping his adversary alive, becoming him, animating his mouldering corpse and forcing it to dance for the public. Light blinks languidly and thanks whatever meddling powers there are that psychology isn't taught to Shinigami, because if Ryuk had known any Freud he would have been insufferable. As it is, something akin to guilt settles into the pit of his stomach as it all becomes so easy. As he strips away everything L has worked for while holding his name up as a standard. No, it is not guilt, Light smiles as he signs off on another day's worth of useless reports, it is merely boredom. The boredom of a God in a mortal world

That's such an offhand, selfish, LIGHT thing to think about. And absolutely true :)

I haven't yet dared to write anything for this fandom because I feel like the characters would either resist or shatter if I tried to put words in their mouth, but you pulled this off brilliantly.

Argh, thanks for asking for this-- it was really so much fun to write.

And you. You. I just finished reading your latest Doctor Who fic-- it was just marvellous. The tone, the voices, the science and the linguistics underpinning the story...everything worked for me. Doctor/Master as it should be done. (And just in case you haven't-- though I'm sure you have-- have you seen Life on Mars, you definitely should, if you enjoyed John Simm as the Master. I like to squint my eyes & pretend that time-travelling Sam Tyler really is the Master, he's just forgotten it. :D)

Yooooou should read my friend Aria's fic Life on Earth :D I think you'll like it.

JESUS. I love this, I love this, I LOVE this. and there might even be the ghostly hint of tears mixing with the spit. Ah ha ha ha, I'll bet there might be. And I adored the summary-in-metaphor of sometimes even he has to admit that playing an empty seat is no fun at all. YES. That's exactly why L died: to make Light understand how everything in his life was going to be a hollow victory.

Ahhh, thank you so much for reading! I complpetely agree-- the series did hit its pinnacle with Light and L, didn't it. I'm on the lookout for more DN fic from you, my dear! xx

[notexotic]

I love your writing and the fact that you just did Death Note is akjasdgfjlaksjgs. I adore it!

As far as recs go, the DN stuff over at __kirisaite is just amazing, especially these two. And of course, there's Aja's "A Tithe to Hell" which is fucking EPIC.

[pogrebin]

Oooh. Thanks for those links. That's fucking fantastic-- those to stories are great. (They're on my 'to review' list, but I'll be sure to do it). Aja's ritten DN fic? Seriously? Ah, I love it when fandoms collide!
