Awesome and funny.

I just learned a new word today.

That is disturbing, horrible...

But the one-shot is awesome. Go Soi-sauce! :D

Wow now that's a thought.. Watari lobotomizing a young L... You're right this is very disturbing but amusing nonetheless.

damn that is disturbing, though very well written. and it DOES makes sense considering how emotionless L seems. haha i look forward to reading all other DN fics you may write. you're great at characterizing.

i really wish you would write more of this. It's fantastic.

I don't know if I should be disturbed, but that was brilliant.

That was the most disturbing thing I've ever read. When I type that, I'm taking into account every horror story, every murder or rape, every sadistic method of torture Beyond Birthday has ever used, and any bloody violence I've read or watched on television. This is an excellent example of how gore isn't imperative to create something truly horrible. (Horrible as in like...subject matter, not the story itself. xD But I wouldn't be reviewing if I didn't think it was incredible.)

I think the scariest thing about this is that the possibility of Watari ordering that kind of procedure on L seems very real. It fits so well because it's hard to believe that a person could be born without emotion. A lobotomy is a very legitimate explanation to L's indifference towards basically everything.

Am I correct to assume that it's possible that his difficult childhood is the cause of why he was sent to Whammy’s House? I'm just imagining him as a teary-eyed little kid, crying over whatever pain he'd been forced to endure. And he wasn't allowed to mourn longer than Watari deemed acceptable, so he took away L's personality. God, I can't even begin to explain how sick that is. (Of course, that whole scenario was the result of mere speculation. I have no idea what his childhood was like.)

I wonder if he ever missed feeling something other than numbness. Was he capable of even feeling that? If so, I wonder if he ever resented Watari for making him more of a machine than a human. So apathetic, indifferent, cool and calculating...I can't imagine him ever feeling much of anything.

I'd had a morbid interest in lobotomies awhile back, before I'd gotten into Death Note. So this story has taken one of my old obsessions and combined it with my current one. That's why I kind of worship this one-shot. (That sounds kind of creepy. Heh.) And I love that I've never read anything like this before. It's never been done in a fan fiction story about L.

The ending was the most intense for me. I felt so many different things, mostly sadness, anger, and shock. Sadness because I admittedly pity L, anger because I wanted Watari to suffer so much more than just a punch to the face, and shock that L didn’t react even at the occurrence at something that deviants so drastically from the norm. I mean, I knew that I shouldn’t have probably expected L to be surprised at Soichiro punching Watari, but I did. And it really reinforced my belief that L is just a super brain, and nothing else.

This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I started crying after reading this. And I really, really liked that. I don’t know why. I’m either masochistic, or I like the fact that you were able to evoke such profound emotions in me. It’s probably the latter, but I’m leaving the other option still open for speculation.

I wish I could come up with some more creative adjectives other than ‘amazing’ and ‘incredible’, but I can’t. D: I really, really like this. (See? Two reallys. That must count for something.) xD You’re an amazing writer.

that was very short but wow, just wow :D i loved this.
And yes, that was very believable, besides, i've always thought Whammy as Dr.Frankenstein. A, B, and L...well you know..

Thank you for writing, hope you'll be writing more soon! :D

take care.

With Love,
Sioen

O.M.G. I never thought that Watari could be so horrible!

oh, god, I love this... I've always had a thing for evil detective maker Watari, but this is the best interpretation...

love it...absolutely love it...

and no, i don't find it disturbing...

Don't worry, you disturb me too o_0

Watari gave L a *lobotomy*? Wow... It's actually believable, we never really know what kind of person Watari really is but still... wow. I'm not exactly disturbed exactly, just horrified. I never really thought lobotomies were good for you, and when they first began to do the lobotomies they really didn't have adequate knowledge of the brain... and L... I love L too much to think that he... Yes.

Sorry, that was a horrid rant D: Forgiveth me?

Audilee

Oh god help!

Still, Watari wouldn't that, you can tell by looking at the way they speak to each other that they're almost like family.

But still . . . that really disturbed me . . . well not quite . . . made me feel a little sad.

D: Poor L. But awesome theory...lolz...

That is disturbing. And makes sense; I pity your L. Yagami-san pwns, though :D
