The One Who Knows You Best
Characters/Pairings: Light/L, Near, Mello
Warnings: Sexual content
Summary: L and Light’s game of cat and mouse continues, as L tries a new tactic.
Comments: Oddly, I enjoyed the L and Light portions of the fic more than the Near and Mello portions. The Near and Mello portions worked as insight into the L and Light portions, but they felt almost tacked on, for some reason. That aside, it’s still a very good fic. The way that even a simple admission of being gay turns into a trap for Light, and how even in the middle of sex, Light is still thinking about how L is thinking how Kira would act, and taking care to act differently. And I like the way that it seems like Mello has more insight into L and that line from Mello completely changed how I was reading the fic and it’s just nicely, nicely done. And I should not try to write recs less than half an hour after I get up, because I’m babbling aren’t I?
One-shot? Complete.
