Gods and Monsters Playing Chess with Human Hearts by the_untamed_poet25

Summary
And L—L was tired.
Not physically. But in the way that gods get tired after they realize mortals aren’t clay statues waiting to be judged, but hungry wolves with smiles like Light Yagami.
“Because I needed to know,” L said softly. “Whether it was only theory. Or if I’d already begun to want you more than I wanted the truth.”
He reached for a chocolate bar from the nightstand drawer. Bit into it like it owed him an answer.
“And?” Light asked.
L looked up.
And smiled.
“I don’t like the answer.”
Or L fell in love with the god he was supposed to unmake.

Love is Just Another Kind of Linkage by the_untamed_poet25
Fandoms: Death Note (Anime & Manga)

Summary
“…Did you mean it?” Light asks.
L doesn’t look over. “Mean what?”
“When you said you wanted me.”
L is quiet for a while. “I don’t know. Want is a slippery word. Sometimes I want you the way a drowning man wants air. Sometimes I want you the way fire wants oxygen—just to burn brighter.”
Light’s breath catches.
“And sometimes,” L says, blinking slowly, “I think I just want to understand what it means to feel, and you’re the only person I’ve ever met who seems real enough to make me feel anything at all.”
“Oh,” Light says faintly. “That’s—awful.”
“Yes,” L says, expression unreadable. “It’s very inconvenient.”
Or, the space between "I think you're Kira" and "I think I love you" is exactly the length of a chain.

Summary
Light was sent back in time to the moment of his birth. Living life again gave him plenty of years to plan for when he had the Death Note again. Plans that were heavily influenced by Light realising that the feelings he had for L wasn't only always hate.
Light always went after what he wanted. So did Kira.

Summary
Light Yagami is a rising detective with conviction and ambition, but in a world where the law isn’t always enough to deliver justice, he operates outside the rules. When he receives a cryptic note from the enigmatic L, his curiosity leads to a meeting that sets off a series of events, pulling them both into a shifting web of corruption. Forced into a reluctant partnership, they begin unraveling a dangerous conspiracy with dire consequences for the justice system.
In this alternate universe where death notes don’t exist, Light has found other ways to assert control. L, drawn to Light’s intelligence and determination, has his own reasons for becoming involved. What begins as a reluctant alliance soon turns into something more complex. As they work together, the lines between right and wrong blur in unexpected ways.
Can Light outsmart L and maintain control, or will he become trapped in a web far more intricate than he anticipated? As their partnership deepens, trust grows, and their connection evolves, neither could foresee how their feelings would shift the balance in ways they can’t control. In a world where justice is elusive, their bond will be tested in ways neither predicted.

In the Garden of God, Handcuffed to a Corpse by the_untamed_poet25

Summary
It was terrifying, how easy it was to slip into it. How their bodies remembered the war and danced through it like a language. Light gripped L’s shirt like it was evidence. L bit Light’s lip like it was a thesis. Somewhere in the chaos, Light was laughing into the kiss—laughing through it—and L whispered, “See? You’re beautiful when you lose.”
“Fuck you.”
“You’re trying.”
“I hate you—”
“I believe you.”
“Then why—why do you—” Light’s voice cracked. “Why do you keep pushing me like this?”
L’s reply was too soft. Too cruel. Too kind.
“Because you’re only honest when you’re falling apart.”
Or, the exquisite agony of being seen.

Summary
L sighed, pausing from where he was kneeling in front of Li- Kira's feet. It was all hitting him now- the reality of it all. This wasn't a game anymore. He was going to die, and he was going to die today. Kira had won.
Set right after the scene where he is drying Light's feet and doing the slight digs, but... edited a bit. L realizes that he's not coming out of today alive, and makes a decision.

Summary
”If memories and imagery of something unholy persist in your mind, pray. It’s all you can do.”
It is common word that L was blessed by Him himself and as such it is even more common of a practice to use his holy body for your protection.
Or: L is the church’s most dutiful priest, sacrificing his very blood for the faithful, and Kira is the sinner most infatuated with him, attending mass under the disguise of Light Yagami.

Summary
You were just a second year at To-Oh, simply trying to get your degree. You didn't ask for Kira to start killing, nor for all your classes to start talking about him.
At least now everyone is talking about is the two genius freshmen that are taking the university by storm instead of a mass murderer. Maybe you can finally escape Kira and focus on your studies."I need your observational skills."
Or not...
