Of Gods and Men by shadowphantomness is a Death Note Fanfic crossing over with Harry Potter. It begins when Teru Mikami encounters some Death Eaters while riding the subway and from there he is introduced to the magical world. He informs Kira (Light Yagami) his lord and master of the goings on. When the Death Eaters target Kira, the Order of the Phoenix unknowingly saves them. Kira decides to "help" the Order, partly out of gratitude, but mostly because the Death Eaters are criminals who pose a threat to the perfect New World that Kira is creating...

  • And Sirius and Dumbledore are still alive as of the ending too! And Mello and Matt! And things are peaceful for everybody too...

• Light Is Not Good: Lampshaded in as many words... "but at least he's competent. "
• Manipulative Bastard: Light of course, but Dumbledore too...
• Noble Demon: Light has the occasional Pet the Dog moment in this fic... and feels the need to explain his reasoning via inner monologue-it's for the sake of the Evil Plan not because he's going soft, damnit!
• Not So Different: hilariously Lampshaded:

Light: He wants to rule this world? Dumbledore: Alas, my boy, it is very common that power corrupts. And Voldemort has dabbled deeply in Dark Magic, and gained much power. Mikami: But why does he want to rule? Is it for a just reason? Dumbledore: Just? Good heavens, no! Voldemort is simply a madman who thinks he is God. He wants absolute power, and will stop at nothing to get it.
