Summary
When Hunith arrives in Camelot with news of an attack, Merlin knows what he has to do. He is perfectly capable of driving away the likes of Kanen’s men by himself; he has been defending Ealdor since he was ten years old.
However, he has no idea of the lengths Arthur will go to to protect his poor, misguided manservant - such as adopting a disguise and following him home.

Summary
During their forced proximity, Light notices something peculiar about L - the man was averse to touch, completely overwhelmed handling human connection. He plans to exploit that for revenge, but soon finds that humanizing L might be detrimental to his own plans...
I feel like the terrifying implications of Wammy's House and L having a successor despite his young age are talked about way too little. So I wrote a fanfic about it.

Summary
“Satisfied?” Light grumbles into the phone, shutting his laptop with a soft click, and padding his way over to his bathroom. As he stands, L’s gentle voice crackles over the speaker.
“No, never.”
“Predictable,” he sneers, running his toothbrush under the tap water, “So, then, what would keep you satisfied? If anything.”
There’s shuffling on L’s end, before he says, fluid, like a paintbrush over wood, all too easy, like it’s the easiest thing in the world, “You.”
The Kira case wanes in 2004, and eventually goes cold. L departs from Japan, and five years go by. Until, one night in 2009, L tells Light that the Kira case is being reopened, and L wants to help acquit him before he is inevitably caught. But, like always, there is a catch that comes with L's favour, and now Light is stuck playing teacher in a house full of genius orphans while mending the rift that had blossomed between himself and L.

Summary
The memories had to be fake.
When Light touches the Death Note and the memories of his time as Kira return, he cannot accept they are true. What kind of monster could take joy from slaughtering millions? They must have been sent by Kira to distract him! Light swears he will execute the real Kira if it's the last thing he ever does.
Meanwhile, L is wondering why his favorite killer seems to no longer want him dead.
