Title: Forever Yours
Author: wizefics
Fandom: Death Note
Prompt: 58 - Striaght from the dead man's mouth at tamingthemuse
Warnings: Contains slash relationships. Dark (but not my fault, the original subject matter is about a mass murderer!). Major spoilers.
Rating: Adult
Summary: L writes Light a letter on the eve of the end.
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note. I'm not that smart. Also, this is a work of fiction that contains sexual interaction between two male characters. Note the part that says fiction before having hysterics, please.
A/N: This is the first time I've tried to get into L's head. I suspect I didn't manage as well as I would have liked. The idea occurred to me after pondering the prompt for a long time and this is what emerged.

Death Note summary: Death Note is a Japanese manga that revolves around the central character Yagami Light. Light is a brilliant, but bored, college bound student who desires to follow his father's foot steps and enter the police force. One day, he finds a Death Note dropped by a shinigami (god of death) and discovers that he can kill people simply by writing down their names and picturing their faces. Instead of being afraid, Light seizes the opportunity to create a uptopia and uses the book, as Kira ('engrish' for killer), to kill those he judges evil.

L, a strange but equally brilliant detective, sets out to capture Kira. He quickly determines that Light is the most likely candidate and an epic game of cat and mouse with winner takes all stakes erupts between them. During one part of the series, Light gives up his memories of the Death Note. L, still determined to prove that Light is Kira, first imprisons Light for months, and then insists that the two remain chained together until L is satisfied otherwise.

Eventually, Light remembers.

This fic is unbetaed.
