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 ;)

Month 4 - Interlude

Stephanie Wong was staring at the Death Note.

The real Death Note.

The past few days had been a rollercoaster of emotions for her. Ryuk was not some superior being; he was just an asshole manipulating her for his pleasure. She felt deeply betrayed and hurt.

Screw it.

She was going to take it out on someone.

Taking out a pen, she quickly wrote the following into the Death Note:

Lindsey Graham - Dissolved in Piranha solution

"That's pretty brutal," Ryuk remarked.

"Can you do it or not?" She snapped.

"Of course I can."

"Then do it." She stood up to leave. "I'm going to a dispensary to get some dabs."

"Since when do you smoke weed?" Ryuk asked, surprised.

"SINCE YOU FUCKING BETRAYED ME!" She screamed at him as she walked out and slammed the door behind her.

Ryuk and Stephanie smiled as the customer in line at the nearby pot shop slowly learned of what she had done.

It was the beginning of something new. Ryuk was so delighted that his plan had worked.
