    Summary

    When he's about four years old, Light Yagami's soulmate marks change.
    He'd long since memorized the patterns of Lawliet and L curving across his wrists, so when he wakes up one morning and both wrists are marked with the simple curl of L, he notices almost immediately.
    He asks his mother, and she tells him with a bewildered expression that she has never once in her life seen soulmate marks change like that, much less so both wrists are the same. For whose soulmate is the same as their destined enemy?

    About a week before the Kira Case officially begins, L looks down one afternoon to find that the careful script of Light Yagami inked over his veins on his right wrist has shifted to read Kira.
    He looks at his two wrists, now mirroring each other, and thinks to himself, Well this just got both much more simple, and much more complicated.

     

    or:
    in a world in which you have your soulmate's name written on one wrist and your enemy's on the other, Light and L are in quite the situation.

    Summary

    No one has ever seen Light’s soul, but it haunts his dreams as a monster: eyes bloody as sunrise, feathers tasting of citrus and sharpie fumes, breath hot as summer and twice as brutal. At first, he thinks the notebook itself is his soulmate. Then he tells himself Misa can be enough.

    L ruins everything. For the first time, someone sees Light’s soul, and through his eyes Light knows it must look monstrous – why else would L be hunting him over it?

    Summary

    With L hot on the trail, Light decides to take drastic measures to make sure any and all suspicions are mitigated. Light doesn’t realize exactly how the consequences of those actions will shape *her* world forever.

    My take on the “Light realizes she is transfem and pivots hard” motif.

    Summary

    Two Death Notes. One name. Six hundredths of a second.

    Light waits for a heart attack that never comes. Rem dies without saving Misa. And L Lawliet, who has spent his life insisting that everything has an explanation, survives an assassination he doesn't even know has taken place.

    There is, of course, an explanation.

    Unfortunately for Light, it is one that renders his carefully constructed victory entirely useless.
