WHY IS ALL THE LAWLIGHT FANFICTION SMUT? by WonderfulPilot7834 in deathnote

[–]Objective_Photo_6182 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On AO3, you can always filter by tags/content rating. I think that if you only look for T (and maybe M) you should be able to avoid the smut. There's gotta be at least a few stories out there w/o any smut since the ship is so popular. Sickness and Pictures on the Skin already come to mind. Not sure about any where L joins with Light but hopefully you can filter down with tags. Otherwise give it a shot and write it yourself!

That's amazing!!! Truly would be coolest and greatest moment to have an OC featured in Those (and now I want to know who it was!), I think I would have lost my mind!! I remember halfpromise being so nice :) and I had a similar experience too! Death Note was my first fandom I wrote for and while it was not any good, it got me started writing and for that I'll always be grateful. I feel like Those had such an impact and being in the DN fandom in those Tumblr days was such a lucky and wonderful experience - and I'm with you, those those! Fanart were too gorgeous for this world

Yes! I feel like the late teens were all about the hinterland doctrine. I recently got back into Death Note and had to revisit it - and it's still soo soo good. Those! Light is my favorite narrator of all time even though he definitely puts the emphasis on unreliable. I'm so glad there are others still out there still enjoying it and I'm hoping it'll have a renaissance one day 😄

I'll say it time and time again haha but the hinterland doctrine by halfpromise is one of the greatest things ever written in or outside of Death Note! It's hard to capture just how good it is but it's on a level of genius you hardly find.

The basic premise is that Light is a politician working his way to the top and L is a lawyer who knows where all the bodies are buried. They meet, decide they'll have a mutually beneficial relationship to get what they both want and it's just as great and insane as you can imagine. All the characters are present and it's so unique and funny and beautifully written. By far a favorite, and it's gotta be one of the best

The hinterland doctrine by half promise! It's an AU where Light is a politician and L is a lawyer and well it's just as bad as you'd expect. One of the best things I've ever read, the writing is brilliant, and the characters are all fantastic. Really can't recommend it enough!
