''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5840970/1/ Alternative Gods]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/841984/Le_KING Le KING] is a ''[[Death Note]]'' [[Cyberpunk]] [[Alternate Universe Fic|AU]] [[Slash Fic]] in which the NPA's Light Yagami grows obsessed with catching L, a [[Playful Hacker|hacker]]. To justify L's remarkable skill, Light imagines L is an AI and falls in love with the idea. Too bad L actually turns out to be an AI with some feelings for Light of his own.
