Title: The Body
Author:
louderandlouder
Spoilers: Potentially all of Death Note and Another Note
Characters: L, an original character, Light, Near, Watari, Linda, B, Sayu, Aizawa.
Genre: Adventure, slash.
Rating/Warnings: Chapters 5, 9, and 10 are NC-17 for sexuality. The story in general is PG-13 for language and violence.
Disclaimer: Do not own.
Summary: It's about L. More helpfully, it's an L love story that takes place over a twenty-year period of post-Kira fallout, Wammy family drama, intercontinental detective work, and various types of pain.
This fic will not be everyone's cup of tea. If it is yours, it may become your favorite DN fic.
Warnings:
* 99,000 words!
* L gets paired with a (male) OC, so if OC's are a problem for you...
* Slightly AU, mainly with regard to some characters' background, and of course, over twenty years, the personalities we know evolve somewhat.
Gushing:
This is a serious, literary novel. It shows great attention to every aspect of storytelling: character, plot, setting, culture, futuristic extrapolation, details from canon, use of language. It is unforgettable.
Unless OC's are an absolute deal-breaker for you, do not be frightened by the fact that a major character is an OC. He fits right in with the DN verse. He is not a Stu. I am generally not fond of OC's in my fic, but this one is now part of my personal DN canon. This story is basically an L/OC romance but a very smart one. It shows their development as individuals and as a pairing over twenty years, never forgetting the fallout from DN, world events, and other important people in their lives.
Light, though a secondary character, is fascinating, very recognizably Kira but matured by many difficult years. He does not appear right at the start, but he never ceases to be important.
I won't say more for fear of spoilers, but if you're up a good, long DN novel about life and personal growth, check it out. You'll be glad you did.
