Death Note Au - Blog Posts

Near (long hair version) and L but make it my little pony

light is actually Hannah Montana no cap

my personal au where instead of light being kira he’s actually hannah montana

Death Note AU where Sidoh gets a clue earlier and starts looking for his stolen notebook around the time Light and L have their virtual dick-measuring contest. He flaps down to confront Ryuk and Light, who just laugh him out of his house since Sidoh is as scary as a weird kitten. He manages to beg off a single page so he won’t die, and watches Light sneakily. He figures out who L is and goes to watch that human instead, thinking maybe he can get back at those two for laughing at him. So when L finally puts together the clues, ‘L did you know shinigami love apples?,’ Sidoh touches L with his single sad page of Death Note and says, “They don’t all love apples but that Ryuk sure does.” After L picks himself up off the floor and changes his pants, he has some questions.

@thebeardedladyofthelake this au just became 10 times more hilarious thanks to you XD

Au where Sayu gets the Death Note but instead of becoming Kira, she just becomes best friends with Ryuk

They have fun playing dance dance revolution and messing with people by having Sayu pretend to be a psychic while Ryuk throws stuff around

And Light will expend all his genius brain energy trying to come up with a logical explanation.

Its too bad for him that Sayu is the one person that truly understands how his mind works and knows exactly how to throw him off his game.

There’s a fanfiction of the first part of this AU!

Death note but Light has schizophrenia and L is harrassing a mentally ill person for his erratic behaviour

AU where Sayu Yagami joins the SPK

After Sayu manages to convince him to not become a mass murderer, she then has to talk him out of turning himself in to the police because 1) they won’t believe him and think he’s gone crazy and 2) even if he does manage to make them believe the validity of the death note, they shouldn’t risk other people finding out about it.

They find a hiding place for the death note where neither of them can get access by themselves. Light eventually calms down and him and Sayu have a sleepover. He still feels really guilty about killing those two people but Sayu is with him to get through it. Five days later, she’s still hanging around in his room when Ryuk shows up.

After the initial scare, they talk to the shinigami and Ryuk eventually tells them that Light could give up ownership of the death note and he will lose his memories. Light declines because he doesn’t want to forget about his crimes. He decides that at the very least, he should live with his guilt.

Light and Sayu get used to living with Ryuk pretty quickly, with Sayu mostly the one keeping Ryuk entertained, and life goes on.

Until one day, criminals all over the world started dying of heart attacks.

I’ve seen Sayu Is Kira AU and Sayu Helps Light Be Kira AU but what about Sayu Stops Light Before He Becomes Kira AU??

Sayu: I appreciate that you make me feel exceptional

Light: I appreciate that you make me feel normal

I’ve seen Sayu Is Kira AU and Sayu Helps Light Be Kira AU but what about Sayu Stops Light Before He Becomes Kira AU??

If it didn’t before it does now. This is how I see it going:

Light and Sayu are not just close siblings, they are best friends.

Sayu adores her brother, she is his number one fan and will cheer him on no matter what. He is someone she would never have to worry about bothering because she knows she can come to him for anything. She can’t find it in herself to be jealous of her older brother for being smarter than her when he’s the one person who sees her as anything special.

Light adores his sister, but more than that, she is someone he can open up to. She is someone that he trusts enough and is comfortable enough with to show the parts of himself that he doesn’t let anybody else see, and know that she wouldn’t think any less of him for it.

So when he finds the death note and is struck by the realisation that he killed two people, he immediately goes to Sayu. She is there for him as he spirals into feeling like he has to use the notebook to get rid of all evil. She comforts him and sympathises with him, she knows her brother and why he feels like he has to twist the narrative. But she also talks him out of it.

Her brother is the best person in the world in her eyes, but unlike everyone else seems to, she knows he isn’t perfect and it’s her job to talk him out of crazy ideas that wouldn’t lead to anything good.

Death Note AU where L gets hit really hard on the head just before the Yotsuba Arc, gets amnesia, and has to effectively bullshit his way through the whole thing not telling anyone he doesn't remember anything that happened recently

Biblically accurate kira

Death note au based on that one tumblr post about a necromancer who brings back a serial killer’s victims where L discovers that Matsuda is a necromancer and has him bring back some of Kira’s victims just to see Light freak out.

Included in the people brought back is Naomi Misora. She confirms that Light is Kira but they can’t just say they brought her back to life, so she joins the task force and pretends she never died in order to get more concrete evidence on Light. Light is freaking out and trying to figure out a way to convince everyone that she’s a fake because he knows she has to be a fake, but he can’t explain why without admitting that he was the one that killed her.

This probably culminates in Light having Rem kill Watari and L, and Matsuda bringing them back the next day, which shatters the last piece of sanity Light had.

the urge to redesign ryuk to be like a massive monster from the depths of hell is so constant bc like could u imagine how much funnier death note would be if it was abt a teenager in his room plotting murder while his massive multi eyed sharp toothed unnaturally angled limbed hellspawn just went “hey light do u wanna play mariokart”

I love the Light Grows Up In Wammy's House premises but I also think I love it in a very different way than most people do

Like I don't see it as a Childhood Friends/Rivals™ trope for Lawlight, I very much see it as Light growing up being told that there's someone better than him, someone he must not only surpass, but become—and I think he does the opposite of what BB does. He starts to hate L not because of anything L actually did (because they wouldn't have met) but because everyone keeps implying that L is better than him when Light KNOWS that he's the superior one. Beyond finds out that L is addicted to sweets and immediately changes his diet to include cakes and candies, while Light immediately wipes everything sweet from his mental list of desired foods.

He is perfectly polite, he's the baby of the group, and he can do no wrong in every other aspect of life except for the fact that he vehemently doesn't want to take L's place no matter how hard they push him. He wants to become his own sort of detective on his own merit, and he'll be damned if he has to use L's name while he does it. If he solves any cases it's anonymously, under a pseudonym.

And if he ever meets L, they won't be friends. But that vaguely disconcerting teen/man that sometimes sits in the corners of rooms and talks to no one is very interested in what Light has to say, no matter what it is, and seems to both enjoy it when Light talks shit about L and yet is still somehow annoyed by it. They get into heated arguments and he'll steal Light's things and pull his hair and mess up his clothes no matter how many times the caretakers chastise him for it (though even that happens surprisingly rarely). Light would stop talking to him entirely if he wasn't his only hope of getting out of Wammy's little genius factory both physically and mentally intact.

Light makes plans to run away and runs them by the broody teenager he's tolerated, who helps him pick out any holes in his plans, but somehow the staff always seem to catch Light before he can escape. It happens so often that Light even begins to think that someone's snitching on him, but he's only ever told one other person, and he wouldn't care enough to stop Light from leaving....

Would he?

Or, alternatively, Light never meets that stranger in the corner. Instead, Watari happily sternly informs him that L has personally selected Light to help him on cases. Isn't that great? Isn't it an honor? A and B are practically roiling with jealousy, Light should be grateful.

But Light is not grateful. He takes the news with a big ole fake smile, and silently plots L's mysterious disappearance before he's even come face to face with the man. He wants to make it on his own, he doesn't want to be reliant on L's name and Wammy's money and generosity forever, and he loathes the fact that he's been metaphorically chained to L's title in all the ways he didn't want to be.

A tiny Light, accompanying a teenage L places and becoming his face (both because L is petty and because he thinks its funny when police are introduced to a little kid as their Consulting Detective) around the world, all while they throw vicious barbs back and forth and spend quiet Christmases together and throw each other under the bus for fuckups and try foreign cuisines together and struggle to keep (L)/gain (Light) the power and ground they both don't even actually want.

L gives Light all the cases he doesn't want, like he's doing him a favor, and Light regularly calls A and B to smack talk L behind his back and turn the rest of his successors against him.

I can even imagine some amalgamation of both of these scenarios happening, or even eight more vaguely like them in the vein of L and Light being both completely antagonistic towards each other while also simultaneously growing so codependent that they can't stand not knowing what the other one is doing at any point in the day and also get absurdly jealous whenever anyone else even speaks to them.

Or EVEN a scenario where L doesn't pay attention to Light at all until he's grown and out in the world on his own. Light makes a quick name for himself, decidedly divorced from Wammy's influence, and eventually meets L on accident through a case L is working on, wherein L becomes intrigued with him and looks into his history only to find that he's a Wammy kid and L goes "Oh. You're one of mine."

To which Light takes decidedly poorly given that the claim both riles and razes Things™ in him because growing up with the vaguest desires to be like the man in front of you even though you loathe him and those desires were quickly squashed and never thought of willingly or voiced aloud leaves behind both the intense need to alienate yourself from said man entirely and to get close enough to become better than him for all to see and witness—only for Light to find that he can't alienate himself completely from L anymore because L decidedly won't let him and he can never quite seem to surpass him either because L is constantly nipping at his heels, echoing his thoughts with brilliant deductions of his own, and it turns out that trying to intellectually sprint past someone who only starts running when YOU do and has a distinct headstart is harder than it looks.

Well, drawing a Death Note Pokémon AU sure as fuck ain't paying the bills but I'd be lying if I said It doesnt feel good lol.

I have no idea where this came from. Honestly, I took Adderall to clean my room, and this happened instead, but i hope someone besides me finds this entertaining, lol.

I had a whole plot in my head but forgot it already. All I got is Near is from Lavender Town, but strangely, no one else in town has ever seen or heard of him. Guess just another one of Lavender town's ghost stories...kinda weird how kids toys keep popping up on the gravestones, tho.

Bonus: Espurr was his first pokemon. He never goes inside his pokeball, and he has an insatiable hunger for violence.

This was too much fun, and I'm already in the middle of drawing Mello, so I'm hoping I can post it later today. Feel free to let me know what you guys think or if you have any ideas!

Also, work and life have had me in a chokehold for the last couple of months, so I'm sorry to everyone on here I ghosted. I'm hoping to message people back later tonight and maybe even post more headcanons, but in the meantime whatcha guys think Near would name his Espurr?

What if L was a vampire

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.

I NEED 2 TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT...............

au where L's a vampire and no one (except for watari) knows. L resists urges to drain humans and instead drinks from the color red. He's obvs not the STRONGEST vampire because of this. Ryuk begins commenting on how all the apples around him have turned white and Light's all like Hmmm yeah that is strange. Yotsuba arc happens and L tries being as NORMAL AS POSSIBLE but suffers a feat when light wakes up to him drinking the red from an apple (((light freaks out)))

Being around a human for such a long duration of time has made L so freaking hungry for blood but he resists his urges ....... he's very into the idea of turning light into a vampire because light is the first intellectual equal he's ever met, and he wants to live on forever with him (((also because they're in love but sheesh thats boring)))

Light is VERY quick to grow out of his fear and instead becomes extremely fascinated with L. He got a super cool and freaky pet vampire basically hell yeah

I'll probs post about this a little bittle because i forgot how much i LOVE VAMPIRE AUs
