L wanted to save Light. If that meant spending a little time watching the contents of a disk that magically appeared, so be it. Any help was welcome at this point in the investigation because every move he made felt like a step towards his own death. (Not your average characters watch their show fic but you'll have to see for yourself) Cross-posted from AO3.

"Light asked for this. He knew what his confinement would entail when he agreed to it, and even went so far as to ask me not to release him until I was sure of his innocence. I'll listen to your concerns, but the final decision to release him is mine alone." L is sure that Light is Kira, but finds himself hoping for a different outcome. Eventual slash.

"I think...if you sink any deeper, Dantalion, you'll forget this." Because William was always right, and he is drowning in death. One-shot, complete, #87 in a 100 theme challenge.

L won and Light Yagami was convicted as Kira. Light was sentenced to a prison for the criminally insane and dangerous. Previously a secret, L became famous world-wide. It's been five years since then. Now L has gotten a phone call about the former mass murderer. They've both changed… will they change from enemies into something else? LxLight

Light had dealt with admirers before, but nothing like this. Between an unknown stalker and a mass-murderer with a God complex, it's unlikely that Light will ever sleep again... unless an insomniac detective can help him put a stop to both. LightxL dark
