I don't know if its just cultural shock as an American or something? but most everyone else in the kira task force was such a god dam AGROVATION with the way they handled themselves and made a mess of stuff, l made amistake in losing the anyonimity.
course some stuff...
anyway you handle this show with EXCELENCE and care and quite frankly intelligence it needs without being to dang MESSY.
good ending! instead of the light winning.. good win! as proper and it being a hilarious mess cause the when people try and black mail confess EARLY and then beat them! all by the plee bargins and compromises and HELL that he so despises. muhaha.
I enjoyed that at least.

This is the Canon ending in my mind now. They should have ended the series this way.

This was so fabulous UGH im wrecked! Thank you so much for this

I understand that there's no point in writing this review. It's been three years, I'm sure your style has evolved, that it's changed a lot. Still, I feel the need to write this comment because This Is How I Disappear is the most incredible fanfic I have read by far.
Which is not much praise, I know. But, seriously, it's a really good story. Good in the sense that I think calling this a fanfic is an insult, in the sense that it's of professional quality.
You've heard all kinds of flattery about this story a million times already; I don't think I'll be able to say anything new on that subject. So I'm going to concentrate on more constructive criticism. As hard as it is for me to say, it seems to me that Soichiro's conflict between his responsibilities as a father and as a policeman ends too soon and too easily when he talks to L at his home.
Perhaps the idea was that Soichiro didn't want to talk to L about it. That he simply ends that part of the conversation because he understands that L is not the kind of person who understands things like that and, therefore, there would be no point in continuing. And I guess it's realistic. But realism is not always the best thing for a story.
I don't think it would have been necessary for him to have opened himself up to L -the conclusion of his internal struggle has to be revealed in prison, when he talks to Light, otherwise his part of the story would not work- but there should have been a little more back and forth before he accepted or pretended to accept L's words. As it stands, it seems a little false and unnatural, as if the actors had to leave the stage before the end of the scene.
That's all, actually.
I wish you good luck with what you are writing right now and what you will write in the future.

That was absolutely beautiful. Well done. That last line made my heart pound, and then it sank. Definitely one of the best Death Note fanfics I have ever read. I can't even describe how much I loved this. This was so heartbreaking and real.

Aww, that's so sad, but I liked Light's character in this one. He was less "insane", as some might put it.

Very nice.

That was intense and gripping. Read it in a single sitting. The last four words killed me.

Just three words author.
Loved this story.
:)

This was gripping. My heart stopped as I read this.

Every dialogue was gripping. I really don't have words to do justice to what I just read.

Here lies my heart, rent to shreds by a brilliant story found on the internets.
May it serve another in the next life, as faithfully as it did mine.
Rest in peace lil guy, until next time.
(Blows into a tissue)
And now I become a zombie... Boo.

Pls stop stomping my heart...
(aka, superb writing :) )

Man, it feels like you're punching my heart.

This is a good chapter. I could feel the tension.

Another excellent job. Now I'm just...breathing.
