    Summary

    “Come out, come out, wherever you are,” the voice of a man sang, filling Chuuya with dread. This instinct he knew to trust. Yōkai often took the shape of people to gain the trust of their victims, their true forms being revealed only in the moments before death. Even the wise old ladies could not tell him what he was dealing with, just that it bore a terrible plague upon the region for centuries.

    Chuuya, a spirit hunter, is the last resort for exorcising an evil spirit that has been tormenting a mountainous village in rural Kyoto for centuries. The first rule is to not play its game when asked. The second rule is that once he bears witness to its form, he's already dead.

    With art by Laugan!

    Summary

    ★ COMMENTS IS A SAFE SPACE! FEEL FREE TO VENT!

    It all started when he developed a bad habit, one that had caught up to him and caused the cycle of abuse to start.

    Garmadon had insisted that it was purely out of goodwill, that he was just teaching him a lesson as parents would but, when it started to get more physical than the usual stern reprimanding; the fear started to kick in and eventually, he was walking on eggshells around his temperamental father and hiding the abuse from his friends and by extension, his other 'family.'

    How long will he be able to hide his father's dirty little secret until the truth comes out?

    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.
