In another time, another place, the tennis match was a fencing duel: Beautiful, sharp and deadly precise, upon the piste they existed for the perfect moment and made each other real. Occasionally, it might have been fun. En garde. Are you ready? (Death Note Fencing AU one-shot)

Rated T for future chapters.

L's ordinary day is interrupted by a not-so-ordinary disappearance that he's determined to solve. And when it reappears right under his nose? Obviously a personal attack on his detective abilities-time for mystery, revenge and maybe even a little romance!

Light Yagami is not having a good Valentine's Day. Between the new guy with the candy fetish, his partner, Matsuda, and the unsettling new case... the chocolate may be the only thing that loves him at all. Light/L.
