* Pairings: L/Light and Mello/Light, with Mello/Matt on the side and {{spoiler|L/BB, Light/BB, OC/OC, L/Linda, L/BB/Light}}

* Alright, so the spelling and grammar is less than perfect, the [[Trauma Conga Line]] starts to get somewhat gratuitous around the second fic, and the amount of sex is gratuitous almost from the get-go, but as far as plotting is concerned this is a seriously amazing set of fics. It's also got gloriously messed-up character dynamics and fast pacing, not to mention the feat of epicness that is writing 5+ novel length fics. If you have the time, it's well worth a read.

** Words cannot possibly describe how much [[Tropers/Pepper-Jak|This Troper]] loves this story. These are the absolute best Death Note fics I have ever read. The characters are so much deeper and better developed than in canon, and although many of them may seem OOC at first glance, it works really well (and all the characters come out being incredibly awesome). Light is still manipulative, but is covering how vulnerable he is after his defeat. L is portrayed as a strong, but damaged and eccentric [[Badass]] (much more emphasis is put on the [[Badass]] than in canon). The twists and turns of the plot are amazing and incredibly well planned, and the authors have done a lot of research on various subjects. The characters evolve in realistic ways. While some parts tend to get draggy, especially in the first story, tension is maintained almost constantly, with complex mind games and life or death situations constantly in action. The second story brings in horror and mystery with the appearance of {{spoiler|Beyond Birthday and his twisted relationship with L.}} The interactions between the characters are beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking. The authors flesh out the setting, especially the workings of Wammy House, and their original characters are actually likable and 3 dimensional. Also, Near is not a nice person in these stories, so Near lovers beware.

*** Now has a spin off story for one of the [[OCs]] that is almost as amazing as the main stories, and will be integral for any future developments in the series proper.
