Death Note: Progressive Edition

by SympathyForTheQuarians

Light Yagami was in high school when he got the Death Note, and few of you seem to realize how important his age was to the plot. Allow me to show you: Stephanie Wong is a 29 year old American leftist who is given the Death Note shortly after the fall of Roe v. Wade. Three guesses on what happens next and the first two don't count. AU. She's MUCH more cautious than Light ;)

Author's Note: Glad my first review was a harsh one. Too many good reviews are bad for one's ego.

The reviewer's points were valid, but I will respond to them that Stephanie Wong's survival is a contrivance that is essential for the plot - what "plot" there is. Bear in mind that this is not meant to be a story in the traditional sense. The Months won't end, and there will be nothing but talking. Get used to it.

To be clear, it's perfectly OK if you think this story is poorly written garbage. It's not meant to be high literature; it is an essential mental health coping mechanism for me. And honestly, writing this story has been making me feel much better. Hate it all you want, I don't care. Seriously. 3

Month 3

"Stephanie, what are you writing in?" Ryuk asked.

"A fake Death Note," she replied easily.

A...what?

"Why?" He asked, genuinely confused.

"Wish fulfillment," she replied easily. "I have often been tempted to use the Death Note more than once per month, and on people who personally irritate me. So I use this instead." She showed Ryuk the inside of the notebook, and his eyes widened.

Stephanie Wong was not a cruel person. She wrote what was necessary to kill her enemies. But the things that were in this fake Death Note...

eyes gouged out and fed to them

throat slit

head used as bowling ball

jaw shattered in with sledgehammer

ears cut off with steak knife

nose cut off with bolt-cutters

forced to choose between killing her daughter and son, then forced to kill herself

"Get the idea?" Stephanie said after a minute.

"...yes," Ryuk replied. "I'm impressed. I didn't think you had it in you."

"That's why I haven't been writing in the Death Note lately, by the way. I don't trust myself."

I stole some of these from the Batman/Death Note crossover "The Light In the Abyss". You really can't be crueler than Teru Mikami...

Review please!
