This is so cute! XD Little L is so adorable. Even as a kid he probably unsettled a lot of people, don't you think?

how cute!

Oh, oh this is lovely. The writing, the dialogue, how absolutely serious L is...you took a clever idea and did a seriously fantastic job with it.

kudos!

SWET! i like it :) faving...

This is SO cool! Humorous, and interesting, I usually see Watari training L as a detective, not L coming with the idea. Very original!

"Li--?" Hahaha, I want to know the name that Watari was going to say so badly. :P Tch. Teasing us like that.

Aw, Mr. Wammy has such a soft spot for L, doesn't he? I find that absolutely adorable. His observations about the childhood L seem to be spot on, too. It's awesome that he was once a "crack shot" in the Queen's army, too. Hehehe, good ol' Watari who shoots sniper rifles. :P

Hehe, the ending (or should I say "The Beginning?") is great. The whole story is very clever and sentimental. I like it! Er, but speaking of clever, I'm sorry if clever is what this review of mine is NOT. Haha, it's past 5 AM where I am right now and I haven't gone to sleep yet. I should go do that. X_X

But seriously, good job on this story. It shows that Watari trusted L even back then at the beginning. Unding loyalty. I like that.

Aw!! That was so cute!!

That's a really good idea for the beginning of it all. Now I have to wonder what caused L to want to become a detective in the first place. And if he really was raised by Watari or not.

Aw... This is really good. Not so excellent that makes me want to hug it but really good. :D

It would be easy to just describe your story as "cute", but I don't think that would do any justice to your work.

I like this story, especially since you seem to have captured L's childhood personality pretty well - confident, self-assured, and just plain quirky. ^__^ It doesn't seem OOC at all, which seems to be the major problem of many Death Note fanfics that I've read.

And I love how you built up Watari's character - it meshes quite well with what the authors included in the manga.

Thank you for sharing this.

OH, this was very amusing. A clever look into young L. Very cute.

Aww...such a kawaii little L. I really like how you portrayed Watari.

I liked it! Especially the part where Watari found L outside a bakery. ^^ Anyway, it's going on my favs!

Very sweet. Loved little L. Excellent presentation of Watari, too! XD

This is really just excellent. The tiny details just -make- it. The peach tarts, the way L is so insistent even at this early age, the one-time horse bet.

Touching and wonderful and well-written on top. Lovely.
