Poco here! This is my first DN fic, so be gentle. I'm going to warn you: this fic contains spoilers for the entire series. If you haven't read all of Death Note, and don't want the ending ruined for you, don't read this.
Also, there will be some really pretty gay overtones, and AU. This is a fiction that centers on Light and L, so if you're not into that...well.
Disclaimer: As much as I love Death Note, it belongs to senseis Ohba and Obata. Not me. Don't sue!
This here is a teaser for the chapters to come. It takes place during/after chapter 107, so like I said, huge spoilers. If you like it, review, and maybe I'll update faster! (wink wink)
"Nothingness", Ryuk had said.
Could I truly be destined for nothing more? Of course, I was not naive enough to believe in a Heaven or Hell, and certainly not after what I had done. But it still seemed wrong, somehow, that Kira, that the God of the new world, could simply...die.
I was frantic, at the end, all the calm collected intellect and calculation disappeared in the face of this terrifying truth.
Thirty-four seconds.
It couldn't be.
Thirty-five.
Not me...I couldn't.
Thirty-six.
There had to be something.
Thirty-seven.
How could I have lost? How COULD I?
Thirty-eight.
The fear, the disbelief, the rotting feeling of failure.
Thirty-nine.
I closed my eyes hard. This was it.
Game over.
"Shit..." I muttered, eloquently, and then...
Forty.
