Light is a politician. What could go wrong? It's very long (really 3 parts in one) and as AU as you can get. Mention/content warnings: MA, alcohol, drugs, emotional/physical abuse, the list goes on. Every bad thing in the world is in it in a satirical way or to make a point of it, it's hugely offensive, and the rest is about men in suits.

If Light had never touched the Death Note, would he ever have found an escape from the depression and boredom that plagued him? Would he have had a future at all? M for dark themes.

What happens when new artist Yagami Raito manages to capture the attention of socially inept, anonymous artist L Lawliet? Hilarity, of course. Matchmakers, troublesome sisters, and crazy lawyers pretending to be drag queens? What is this world coming to?

Fighting a heroic battle in a room full of mysterious time pieces is not a smart thing to do. Time Travel, Slash TR/HP.

A new deathnote. A new plan for world sanctity. And an entirely misled Catholic clergy. Raito and L take their respective places on the sides of their own justice. A final battle waged in the Garden of Eden. LRaitoL. For a Brief Moment.

AU Sometimes life is the question and death is the answer. Raito never understood life until he met death. Eventual L x Raito.

He is not a saint. He is not God. Even his sense of justice is skewed. After all, how can Kira rationalize his use of the Death Note when he himself is nothing but a common criminal? A member of the yakuza? LxRaito, AU.

L takes a gamble and makes Light an offer. Once the pieces fall into place, it's a race to see who can outmaneuver the other...and a long series of mistakes. Set just after Yotsuba arc, when Light has his memories. COMPLETE!
