There's silence in the night after L is killed and, in the silence, a constant companion speaks. Death has known Light for a very long time.

L and Light and a profoundly unsatisfying conversation, after the fact. Postseries.

Light, after L.

What is the point of having an equal if you can't get into some good philosophical discussions? Too bad L is still focused on proving Light is Kira. And what exactly are the parameters regarding whom Kira kills?

In a soulmate AU where people don't age until they meet their soulmate, Misa Amane knows there is no One for her. But the funny thing was that Misa never felt lonely.

L never really believed in gods, even after Kira came along. One-shot. Note: spoilers within.

Somewhere there is a letter that Light wrote to his father but never sent. One-shot.

Light sacrifices himself to himself. It's an old story. One-shot, Yotsuba arc, from the beginning to the end.

"I will return," God promised, and they have been waiting ever since. Warnings for post-manga spoilers, angst and religious themes. One-shot.

Post-Canon. Ryuk tells the Task Force and the SPK a secret they would have preferred not to know. Near does everything he can do. Character Death.

L is an insomniac.

Most days, Quillsh Wammy's name on the building is the only piece of him Roger has. But some days, he comes to visit.

Detective Matsuda Touta writes a letter wishing against all hope that it reaches its. Because really, no else can deal with Kira besides L himself.

Kira is gone, and all Mello wants is to move on with his life. But the discovery of an old, long-thought-dead friend suggests that not quite everything has been resolved just yet... What might have happened if neither Mello nor L had died?

Two Part Story. "You let everything slide right into your life. You've never wanted anything for yourself." Aizen/Ichigo

Rukia's good at kido. Ichigo's good at learning.

Ichigo is mysteriously transported into a real-life dating sim at Karakura High. The only way out is to win the game, whether or not he wants to play. At least he has Ishida around to help him out. IchiIshi crackfic

It's the little things about her that throws him sometimes. Her inability to use juice boxes. Her complete disregard for his carefully constructed image. Her utter obliviousness to routine human world customs. (It's the little things that make him fall in love.) [Ichiruki]

This is what defeat is, in the context of a lost and tired boy soldier. OR, a world where Ichigo's powers are never coming back, there are no Fullbringers or Wandenreich, and time marches on. IchiRuki if you squint and are looking for it, but it can be interpreted otherwise.

On a day that never happened, Sirius Black falls through the veil of death and onto Ichiraku's ramen stand in Konoha, there he meets what could have been his goddaughter in a world he'd never want Harry to live in. Side fic of "Minato Namikaze and the Destroyer of Worlds"

Parallels Fallen here to grace and related stories. Minato knows from the start that his newest bodyguard isn't quite like the rest, but it takes almost twenty years and a resurrection to see just how special Shiranui Genma really is.

Follows 'There's beauty in the breakdown'. Two moments of awakening, almost a dozen years apart, but for Gai at least there's always been one constant between then and now, and his name is Shiranui Genma.

Sequel to The sound of pulling heaven down. Of learning curves and the evolution of understanding. They've got a ways to go before they're anything like a cohesive family, but sometimes the attempt is worth everything.

Sequel to Fallen here to grace. For a ruthless assassin, Genma's got an embarrassing weakness for little kids with big sad eyes. Still, Minato's son shouldn't have to grow up alone and hated—not when Genma is more than willing to provide a family, crazy and chaotic though it may be.

Even the darkest night gives way to dawn eventually.
