The Missing Piece by Sanity
Pretty by [livejournal.com profile] sanity_oasis


Previously in The Missing Piece:

“Where is-”

“I don't know,” Angel said, and Spike felt his fear amplified by Angel's. “I can't...I can't reach her. I've tried. Been trying, ever since we came to. I got you out, and then it exploded and...”

“Things get a bit hazy, yeah,” Spike murmured. “We've gotta find her. Those men were Council, Angel.”

“I don't smell her blood,” Angel said, but the news didn't thrill either of them. “I don't think they killed her.”

Which meant they'd taken her. Spike felt real, true fear solidify inside of him for the first time in many years. “How the hell are we supposed to find her? If the connection's not workin'-”

“Erig,” Angel said firmly. He'd been thinking on this for awhile then. “We need to get back to the city and back to Erig.”

It was as good a plan as any, and Spike forced himself to his feet and up to the road.

Title: Bittersweet, on the Tongue (Sensory Deprivation 5/5)
Fandom: Death Note
Pairing: L/Light
Prompt: 102 - Thus Spoke Zarathustra at [livejournal.com profile] tamingthemuse; also written for 3. Hand phone; cell phone; mobile phone (~a call from heaven) at [livejournal.com profile] 30_angsts; also written for the [livejournal.com profile] stagesoflove set: Exploring a relationship through the five senses prompt taste.
Warnings: Slash. Spoilers for the first part of the series.
Rating: Adult.
Summary: Despite the chaos of his life, L liked routine.
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note. I'm not that smart.
A/N: Unbetaed. 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. Finally, the five parts of Sensory Deprivation will all be unified in a single story arc spanning the characters growing obsession with each other throughout the series, but I am hoping that each part stands well enough on its own to be a complete story. I'd love to know if you think that I managed it. This is the last part of this story and I surprised myself by not bringing it quite to the end. This story also ended up being almost entirely from L's POV. I may add an epilogue. We shall see. :)

Thanks to everyone who stayed with me as I wrote this! I hope you enjoyed it.

As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.
