Part One: Nebula Cloud

Birth

L never thought of himself as a star. He was too much of a wallflower for that. He was more of a planet- not as bright, but just as important.

Just like a planet, L came from humble beginnings. The illegitimate child of a young, bright-eyed woman and an enigmatic man who never knew he existed, the future detective came into the world the same way as most: in a bright white hospital room surrounded by trained professionals. However, his deadly calm demeanor worried people from the second he popped in to the world. Instead of wailing his tiny head off, L made no noise.

Not a sound.

He didn't even breathe.


A/N: So, this is a new little story I'm starting from a plot bunny from long, long ago. Originally, me and another author bounced ideas around for it, but we fell out of contact and I never wrote the story. Until now. It's still something I've been interested in and have always wanted to write, after all these years, but I didn't want it to be a high-pressure story. I just wanted a low-key fanfiction I could complete while managing other projects, which is exactly what I'm going to do. Expect regular, FREQUENT updates, and don't forget to follow and review with some constructive feedback!

And I won't spoil anything, but... expect to see some old favorites make a reappearance, maybe even some you didn't plan to see. :P
