i like how you could potray their relationship in a smooth flow while creating the image that it may or may not continue that way L had always taken his job above everything else and it makes perfect sense why Light is as stressed out as he is really well written

Good job.

It's such a beautiful love-hate relationship that you portray so perfectly.. .I can't imagine what it would have ben like in their shoes. So stressful; the haunting feeling of Death constantly lingering behind them-- literally too :P-- it must have given them gray hair! :C The poor dears truly do have a burden too much for humans to carry-- so they have Kira and L instead of Raito and Lawliet. :3

I've loved this story for two reasons...

1)First, you've made an awesome job with L's personnality, his cold and calculating mind, how he's focused on Kira to the point of putting in the sideline of his mind everything which is not related to the case...

In fact, despite the fact that we know that he's (partly) right, and that he's rationalizing his thoughts in a convincing way, L's opinion about Light beeing Kira still sounds like...an obsession and an attempt to save himself from everything questioning his belief that he's always right, is always on the side of justice, and is always acting rationally without beeing blinded by his emotion.

In fact, L looks trully like a Kira's twin in this one, despite the little difefrence between them...
How to said it? I love when an author acknowledge how much L's quest of justice could outpass the boundaries of humanity, morality and legality.
A dark/ambigous version of L?It's one of my kinks(hey, death note is a world of shades of grey, so, let's keep that in fanfic!).

2)And, on the other hand, you've showed a different side of Light, more human... It's not hard for us, readers, to empathyze with him in the setting of this story(which is a nice change).
Oh, and as a fan of the amnesic Light, thanks you!This character needs more love!^__^
His own doubt, his desire to live, his anger and his fears in front of the death and in front of the inhumanity of L...You've pictured that wonderfully.

I don't know if it was your purpose, but I've read this story as a confrontation between a cold and inhuman justice(L), and humanity in front of the innocent/potential criminal.
(sigh)
Ok, you've get the message?I would add a third story in my favs.XD;
Sorry for the boring and lenghty review in aproximative english.^^;

I got friendship out of thier little scene in the bedroom. No matter how much that sentence doesn't seem like it would og with friendship. Even the unconditional love part.

Once again, I loved the percentages. '"I'll go by myself and you can work." "Aha!" I turned triumphantly to the youth, raising my handcuffed wrist. "Light-kun wants me to release him for the night. He could potentially be doing this to continue his killing spree. The probability of you being Kira has just went up by three quarters of a percent!"
3/4s of a percent?! You might as well handcuff him now, L! Oh, wait, you've already done it. Nevermind. :D

I love your writing!

You did a great job of getting into L's head, and it's a refreshing change to see things from his point of view. Yet another enjoyable read. ^_^

"he really does try to be a good sport about his whole 'accused for mass murder' thing."

that somehow totally sums up Light in such a brilliant and hilarious way :P

So cute. xD
It kind of disturbs me how Light is so...innocent-seeming when he's lost his memories.

Haa... This fic is really insightful. Not many people know how to portray L's thought processes convincingly, especially since we as a reader follow the story through Light's point of view. Very well-written, although I did notice a few grammatical mistakes here and there. But it was only in 2 paragraphs, so I overlooked it.

Props for keeping them in-character, and this is definitely something I should read again when my head is clear (it's 4 am, I can barely grasp who I am right now.)

I've read 2 of your fics so far, and I plan to read the rest thanks to your beautiful style :)

This was so great! I beleive you captured them in character verry well. You seem quite good at that. Keep up the GREAT work!

AH. NOT AGAIN, DAMMIT.

HOW COULD YOU WRITE ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL STORY!?!?!?!?

I would strangle you right now, but then you would never write another story and I would cry.

So, instead, I shall kidnap you and force you to write more.



Okay, I'll shut up. But, in all honesty, this is yet another amazing story. Wow. *Awed*

Thank you Thank you Thank you! That is for your excellent grammer and choice of vocab. It makes it so much more "real" when they speak in an especially advanced manner. I never write long reviews; actually I rarely write reviewa at all. But you captured L's personality so well, I felt I had to comment. His strange assurance, along with his endearing uncertainty and devotion to what's "justice" although not necessarily "socially normal", is portrayed very well in this one shot. Brilliantly done!

Oh. I really liked this. I've searched high and low for good IN CHARACTER Death Note fic and it's so rare, but this... this is lovely. Light's "I'm not Kira" isn't him being a whiny brat, it's him stating what he believes. And L is his painfully rational, beautifully logical self. I believed this was his 'voice'. This interaction was quiet and intense and... really a joy to read.

So now I'm off to see what else you've written ^^

Loved it. This was great. Yeah, you got across it pretty well. Good job. Could you make a sequel or part two to this story? It's really good. I likes it.

"I believe that I care for you dearly, but my actions won't reflect that, they will reflect my own personal sense of justice. I'm telling you this because I know you also are like that." -- i really love this line, because it makes such a good transition from the perhaps deeper relationship they might have to the canon L and Light we see.

your writing is truly beautiful =)

this was so good!
