    Summary

    After enduring an what felt like an eternity of punishment in Mu, reliving every death he caused as Kira, Light Yagami is given an unexpected second chance. The Shinigami King sends him back to his life just before the Death Note came into his possession, with the vague promise of redemption. Haunted by the crushing guilt of his past and the endless memories of his victims, Light must navigate his new reality while keeping the truth of his former life a secret.

    However, a new Kira has emerged, plunging the world back into a reign of terror. Light is pulled, against his will, into the heart of the investigation once again. This time, he is not the mastermind behind the killings but the prime suspect, and the task force - most importantly, L - once again turns its gaze toward him.

    Torn between proving his innocence, stopping the new Kira, and keeping his fractured sanity intact, Light must confront the ghosts of his past while treading the dangerous line between justice and madness. Will this second chance be Light’s path to redemption, or does fate actually wish to watch him crash and burn a second time?

    Summary

    Light can't say he likes being kept up night after night while the rest of the task force gets a quiet, solitary room, an empty bed, and some goddamned privacy, and he gets L leaned over a chessboard asking for "just one more game, Light-Kun."
    Sometimes, when L prods him with a question as he finally pulls the covers up to his chest or tugs ever so gently at Light's sleeve for attention, Light swears he is ready to admit to anything and everything L could ask of him just for the peace and quiet of a prison cell.
    So they play chess, and Light lies to himself that this game does anything to help him work out this feeling that L sets boiling in the very pit of his being.

    --

    In which the boys work out their feelings over a game of chess.

    Summary

    “Really, why did you ask me to sit with you? Such nice stationary in my till… Clearly, you can’t stand me.”

    Light opens his mouth to respond and pauses. The truth is he's not quite sure what possessed him to write that nice little invite and drop it in L’s mailbox.

    Light shrugs, looks away, “known you four years…”

    “Four years for a dinner invite.”

    “Yeah, well, whatever. It’s not like you were making any kind of show of trying to get to know me better.”

    “Hard to do when you were constantly calling my essays stupid

    ___
    The one in which Light and L attend a tiny liberal arts school in the middle of nowhere. They realize, the last week of school, that they’d like to get to know each other better.
