i love the way you use your words...you write very beautiful...and the story itself is achingly sad...if only they weren't childern learning to survive...

As usual, I loved it. Short introspective pieces like this are almost always the best. Good story.

Really liked how philosophical this all was (and Death Note is so perfect for deep fics). I like the contrast between L and Light, grown ups and children. I loved the line : "Light, he won't pretend - this kind of pretend is only for grownups and he's too close to winning (too close to being lost forever), he can't afford to falter. He knows survival of the fittest, but he's only eighteen and he wants to be a god. An immortal child soaring to the zenith."

The parts about the sky and getting married to Light were priceless as well.

I know I should find something to point out, but besides a bit of wording issues, I couldn't find anything I didn't like.

Still love your stories. Hope you never think they're a waste of time.

Short and sweet is good, but I still adore your long and wordy style. I honestly can't get enough of it! ^_^ It's a damn shame when something's "just a drabble" and is short because of that. Those damn shames are part of the reason why I love your style. :3 It's a while before it's over, not just five minutes. :P The fact that the entire story fits on a single scroll of my mouse was a bit of a shock. XD The wedding bit was absolutely darling. X3 It was too cute of a mental image! Kyaa~! Thanks for writing!

That was amazing. How else can I say it? Well, all right, there are many other ways to describe this, but "amazing" is the shortest, most concise word I can come up with at the moment.

I love how you've compared them to children. When one really does think about it, both men are like children who never really were, in a sense. They manipulate and deceive each other in ways that other people couldn't possibly pull off, and yet the two acts are undeniably childish.

Hmm...if I reread your stories, do you think I'll absorb at least a fourth of your talent by osmosis? Lol!

Favorite part was the ending! That rooftop scene will live on in all our minds.

Woah, deep. Love the comparison to children... it's true, Light's actions are similar to one of a child. And L's view of Light is so real and accurate and heart breaking. Awesome.

AMAZING.

Every line of this was just, WOW.
I'm spellbound.
:D

That was beautiful, and I agree with what the last though was- 'Or maybe a funeral,"
I believe just about everyone knew L was GOING to say it, but never did.

I thought this drabble/one-shot was so beautiful. Your description conjured up some intense imagery for me, especially the part about them standing on raised stakes, both looking at the sky. I especially liked the beginning, talking about children's behaviour, and then your comparison of kids with L and Light. The way it was written really made me think about it on a deeper level.
You did a great job on this one =D

It made me smile.

Oh, absolutely beautiful! I can hardly even find the words but your themes are always so intricate and spot on, and your writing style so philosophical.

I just can't think of anything else to say other than brilliant.

I have the same problem with the length. I try and write something short, but it ends up six hundred words more than I wanted. Hehe.

I loved this though, it was gorgeous. I suck up so badly in reviews all the time, but I just don't know how to praise you enough for this. For what it's worth, I envious that I can't write like this. It gets better, I rarely, if ever, find myself jealous. (I have other flaws and drawbacks to my character.)

The way this was written, the use of the language, the ideas, everything was fantastic. It was beautiful and creative and clear.

It's hard for me to describe, really. It was...I don't know, I'm running out of appraising adjectives. There was so much to love, though. Awesome job, please continue your writing, you're quite cut out for it. I'll be looking forward to future contributions. =3

(Sorry for the craptastic review on such an amazing fic.)

Cheers!
