This was heartbreaking

I’ll preface this by saying, I absolutely loved this story. I was lead here by a reddit post after searching “most depressing fan fiction”.i read the guys review and said decided there and then I wanted to read this. So yes I did come here for a certain reason and that did effect my feelings about this. That’s why I must say first that this was the best story I have read on this website. You nailed the characters in a way I didn’t even think was possible. There interactions with each other, Light pleading for his life, the detectives discussing their feelings, all made me feel many emotions and I was very happy to be able to feel like I was there going through what they were. However the only emotion I can say I didn’t feel was sad. Now I won’t discredit other people’s reactions towards this story but I could not understand how this was considered a sad story. I felt it was less about the different characters grief and suffering and more about coming to terms with the grief and suffering you have dealt with. Whether it be you who caused it or being the one who has to dish out the consequences. And I feel the last line of L’s death note entry really hammers that home. “Dies with minimal pain” honestly the last thing I was expecting to see. But after thinking about L’s conversations with Matsuda in the bathroom or Watari at the range I think it perfectly showed off how L (and I’m speaking as he acts as the main character in this story) dealt with his experience of both thinking about Light as purely a bad person and nothing more even after everything that happend in the original manga. And what he learns about himself after using the death note on Light. While he may not have showed his grief outwardly by any means he learned that there is nothing wrong with showing some empathy towards his rival in the end. So while I may not have got what I originally came here for I feel like I have been giving a gift and an amazing story. So thank you

so you're telling me I have to cry again

Oh my God! This story is a masterpiece! I read the seven chapters in a sit because I wasn't able to stop before reaching the ending, ha ha.

From now on, this will be the canon ending of the series for me. Thanks a million for your hard work! :')

Tōryanse, tōryanse...

I can't even express how beautiful and heart-wrenching this was. Amazing, simply amazing. Dancing morality, feelings, so much to wrap my mind around.

Yes i cried

"dies with minimal pain"
chills

This was so tragic. Like I understand why Kira needed to be punished but I still sympathize with Light—not Kira. The emotions were so raw, this story is so beautiful, I loved everything about it. Your writing is so solemn and vivid and I just loved every bit and piece of this. Wow, this is canon for me now.

Very sad. But a just point of view for Light Yagami.

I don't want to cry, so I can only laugh at how great this is. Amazing writing and emotional demonstration.

Oh.
My.
God.

what a hecking rollercoaster of sadness and feelings.

Your writing is superb, transmits feelings and actions perfectly (I cried a lot haha) and you have good grammar.

I know for a fact that I will re-read this in the future, it is just THAT good. I love it. This fic and "love is blind"? 10/10

If I say anything else I'm sure I'm going to say some spoiler, so for the sake of any future reader I'm gonna leave this review as it is. Thanks a lot for writing this, you are very talented!

I'm crying a river and this isn't even over D,:

My friend recommended this today and omg! i'm just so heartbroken that i've linked this to youtube videos on L's death and to comments on people who hate light. This deserves a million reviews and kudos! Best Dn fic ever!

I don't know what brought me here but this story is amazing and beautifully written. Each chapter is full of emotions had made me cry at least twice for each chapter. You did a great job. :3

Hey, it's been a while since you finished this story but I wanted to congratulate you, I love it, I cried a lot, really, I'm still crying but I think it's one of the best Fanfiction I've read if not extremely sad, beautiful none the less.
Hoping you'll continue to write !
