    Summary

    Gale tried again. “I—yes,” he said, finally. “This might be my last night alive. You’re right.”

    “I’m not right,” sniffed Astarion. “I don't approve of the idea. I’m onto you. There’s a difference.”

    The night before they reach Moonrise Towers, Gale's simulacrum fetches Astarion from his tent. He doesn't come quietly.

    Summary

    It's Christmas, and a teenaged L is coming to pay A and B a visit. A isn't so sure he wants this -- as he's gotten older, he's becoming increasingly convinced that this place is killing them, and increasingly worried that L is just a human person who can't or won't do anything about it.

    Summary

    Years after the Kira case is over and done with, Near is building a life with a boy in New York. He is haunted, endlessly, by that night in the warehouse. The situation is very nearly stable when Misa Amane moves into the city.

    He saved her. He hadn’t saved Light and he hadn’t saved Mikami — he’d wanted to, he really had, he hadn’t wanted to be made an executioner — but he’d saved Misa. Or at least he’d done the closest thing he could. Mello is dead and Matt is dead and Watari is dead and L is dead but Misa is alive and she’s not just a symbol. She’s a real girl. She brushes her hair and she has favourite bands and she worries if she’s good enough, wonders if her life is liable to come to anything. He has no proof of this, but she must. Those are the sorts of things that living people do.

    Summary

    A nineteen-year-old L wakes from a horrible dream and calls Beyond for a little reassurance. Beyond provides a flavour of comfort that belongs just to the two of them.

    or

    Maybe sometimes L can be just as fucked up about Beyond as Beyond is about him.

    Summary

    Since the night they burnt L, Light has been having a dream which bleeds into his waking life. In this dream, he opens his bedroom door to find a long tunnel that goes down and down and down; in his dream, L calls to him from beyond the grave, all the way from Yomi, and begs Light to bring him home.

    Based (roughly) off the Shinto story of Izanagi's journey into the afterlife to bring his wife back to the land of the living.

    His voice is soft. He says, “You left him so long, and he got so hungry, and you know once the dead eat from the bounty of Yomi they belong to it for forever and always, but you can have him anyway.”
