Please. be. updating. this

Though I'm only five chapters into it and I usually review the last chapter, I felt the need to comment now. :)

This story is fantastic. Quite often I've found stories containing L/Light pairings to be unrealistic and out-of-character, but this story is one of those rare instances where the writing is not only extremely interesting, but you have L and Light absolutely nailed down when it comes to their personalities. You've also managed to maintain a perfect balance between the amount of romance and the plot in a way that keeps the reader intrigued.

I'm completely enthralled with this fanfiction and I'm itching to read the next chapter, so I'll wrap this review up, but I also suggest looking over your conventions. Your grammar is great, but there are a few places where a comma is needed.

Okay, I'll stop here- I just wanted to let you know that you've done a wonderful job with the story so far! :)

I only meant to read a few chapters here and there, but once I started I couldn't stop. So now I'm rereading this whole story again. Definitely one of the best fanfics I have -ever- read: in fact I'm not even going to bother with in-depth praise because I'd just praise EVERYTIHNG. I love this story so much.

Looking forward to an update~

I love this story so far!!
it's really well written and the plot is fitting nicely together. your a great author and I hope your going to update soon

This story is too awesome. Please do continue.

This is an amazing story. I started reading it saturday and have continued whenever I got a chance. I love it^^. Your characterzation is done exteremly well and I love the Raito and L interaction scenes. I meant to say this in another chapter but I found the E=mc2 to be funny, once you explained it. I was amused, when I read in an earlier chapter, that L and Raito were talking about how Raito is a man ** and L would be the number one client. Mainly because I am working on a story with that theme.

Raito's such an **, but a loveable one. Keeping lipstick marks on his neck to see how L will react, oh well. It really is his style.

I am hoping you will be able to update soon, I am really looking forward to the next chapter^^.

I just read this entire glorious fiction over the last several days and oh my GOD it's beautiful and shattering and just rainbowsunshineglittertasticly wonderful. There were some parts that were slow and some parts that make me incredibly, irrevocably sad but it is unraveling hypnotically. Normally I don't go down with ANY ship that has Near on board but you portray him so painfully human that I think I might go look up some Near and Mello ficlets once I finish telling you how great this is, which within itself is odd because I am generally a MattxAnyone girl.

I've passed up reading it many times because the description about the catholic clergy and a battle of good versus evil and other such biblical things just didn't appeal to my atheist self (needless to say, 221,847 also added to my reluctancy to indulge). Now I can say that I am honestly glad that I dedicated hours of my unfortunately rather busy life to read this magnum opus of literary fineness.

It's kind of disheartening to see that you haven't updated in a few months, but your profile says you're a college student so that's understandable. I don't know how to accurately thank you for writing such a fantastic gem, but really: THANK YOU. I can't wait until the next update!

I also want to comment on a few of my favourite parts, such as when L was playing the piano and Raito fell asleep. That was such a beautiful calm-before-the-storm scene, and probably one I will indulge in a few more times and will break my heart a few more times, just like the sunrise scene in 'Poison Apple.' Both were utterly beautiful, but yours was much less cliche. The French dialects were superb and a pleasure to read considering I come from a French immersion school in Montreal. This might be my favourite fic, but I think I'd have a hard time deciding between this and 'Devil's Trill' (you should check it out if you haven't already!) because they are both so fantastic.

Long review is long. Thanks so much for writing such a beatutiful THING!

getting blue balls for the next chapter, man.

I hope this fic is still alive... I loved it so.

Wow, i have much love for this story! I only just discovered it and read the whole thing at once...much like a cake that L discovered and feared would be possesed by others. It's truly wonderful. And has such a lovely range of emotions- from angsty torture to fluffy midnight candy buying. Thank you very much for writing it
much love XD

Words cannot express the true feelings that I have for your work of literature...but I will try...

I started reading this story a few days ago and I am just amazed at how well written it is! Every single character is actually in character and in some characters you accentuate their personalities to brighten up the mood of the story.(i.e. Aizawa)

At the end of every suspenseful chapter I am always left wondering 'How in the world can this not be the end of the story'?! Then, in the next chapters,an entirely new arc is introduced to further the already dramatic plot!

Everything in this story just screams perfection,from the English to French translations to the playful turned serious banter between the characters.

This, without a doubt,is the best Death Note story that I have ever read and I hope that when this story is completed,you feel the satisfaction and wonder that all of your fans and subscribers feel.

Please continue on with this wonderful story so we can all be happy and entranced with your beautiful words...

Oh god, I nearly had an aneurysm trying to stifle my laughter~! There is no end to how much I loved this chap! I hope you can bring Misa more into everything again. You're honestly the first writer that made me even think a threesome-ish nature between them could ever exist <3

Um, wow. I can now certainly understand why this fic was so highly recced by so many DN fans. What a ride, I'm so glad I finally managed to finish reading what you've got posted. :D I have to admit, the beginning was slow for me--but I absolutely adore this AU you've built up and created. And this has not only been a fun read, but a challenging one as well! Just keeping up with all of Raito's planning and all of L's rebuking, not to mention their off-the-wall "love", is enough to tire me out! You've really got their characters and the dynamics of their relationship spot-on, which makes your story believable and incredible. I particularly enjoyed the allusions and symbolism you've strewn throughout the fic. :D

I'll have to say some of my favorite scenes are among the chapters of Raito's capture and torture--especially the whole angel-wing-scars thing, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME D:--but you kept me hooked and interested in the story even when nothing as dramatic and raw as that was going on. I've really taken a liking to the more recent chapters at Wammy's, too. I'm loving this interaction between Raito and Mello/Matt/Near! And the growing mess between L and Raito, is so ** up and BEAUTIFUL. UGH. I can't stop feeling sorry for L and wondering if Raito's going to overrun him again, and whether it'll be as disastrous as Kira if it does happen (though I'm really hoping it won't--though I love Raito's uber-bitchiness, I have to admit I prefer L a little more), and if he'll ever renege on the whole "I'll-never-love-L-HA!" deal he as, and if he'll ever get rid of his infuriating god complex, and...AUGH, YOU JUST HAVE SO MANY THINGS GOING FOR YOU IN THIS STORY, I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE.

You truly know how to spin a story and keep your readers beyond intrigued. Keep up the AMAZING work! :)

Hey. . . . Don't know if you remember me, but I used to read your stories almost religiously. Then I got side-tracked by everything else. Sorry about that. ^_^() Please forgive me.

Well, anyways--

I love this story! The characters and the general geniusness of everybody's reactions makes me so happy. This story actually makes me interested (and hope for) MelloxNear action, even though they're not even together.

And I love Raito's hypocrisy in this chapter. That whole thing about L and Misa flirting with each other . . . I couldn't stop laughing.

absolutley frickin FANTASTIC! i seriously cannot get enough of this, kudos for making this pairing actually work without major deaths! ^ ^
