Light Yagami dies in a tragic accident aged Seven. His grieving Father creates an Artifical Intelligence Robot to revive the memory of his Son. Light grapples with concepts of justice, the Death Note, and the new premise of romance. Slow, eventual Lawlight.

Someone is following him; trudging behind, matching his steps, and they are but a shadow in a deep, dark ocean. They stay at his heels through reality, through dreams, through nightmares, leaving a trail of death in their wake and gifting him nothing but their unwavering obsession and a name: KIRA. [AU: Light doesn't find the DN due to his sensitivity to negative energy]

Five-year-old L has come to Japan for reasons Watari knows. He had thought that everyone outside Whammy orphanage was of lower IQ but then he meets a boy named Light. or it's just me wondering what sort of an interaction these two genii would have as a kid.

Light finds solace in the one person he shouldn't. However once a road is paved, the way back is always brittle and treacherous. Isn't it easier to just, carry on?
