But Light wouldn't bite the hand that feeds him. Too many bones.
A Death Note Light/L fanfic. No Death Note AU.L is a lonely coroner. His interest is piqued by a series of bodies that come in butchered in odd and brutal ways, likely the work of a single serial killer. Coincidentally, he's just been set up on a date with Light, a handsome, intelligent newcomer who works at the deli.

Ron the Death Eater: Downplayed. Light in canon is a Knight Templar mass murderer who kills because he believes he is making the world a better place. In this fic, he's more like a real-life serial killer, killing out of a compulsion to do so. Of course, since he has no death note here, he actually has a lower body count than Canon!Light. - Seme: Light is this to L.
- Serial Killer: Light kills because he has a compulsion to do so.
- Stalker with a Crush: Light sneaks into L's house at night sometimes and watches him sleep or steals some of his clothing.
- Uke: While Light and L are roughly the same height and weight in canon, here L is noticeably shorter and smaller. Similarly, L is a bit more shy than in canon (where he was a quiet loner, but not exactly "shy" per se).
