Title: Remember You Are Mortal
Author: praiseofshadows
Claim: Light/Misa
Rating: Strong R (for sex, death, and just general dark themes)
Notes: Eh...spoilers for all of Deathnote (including "How to Read"), explicit Light/Misa relationship, abuse of parenthetical remarks and run-on sentences, & character death

First off, I should probably say that I'm not a big fan of Raito/Misa... But I really enjoyed your work here. :) [Especially that start and the end... Wow...]

Raito's still insane, Misa is still devoted and I think you have their relationship down.

XD; And even though Misa's character is annoying most of the time, 20 made me feel bad for her; it was amazing. :/ In the end, she was just a girl in love with Raito... And Raito had no problem using that to his full advantage.

Well done. :) I hope you keep writing--even if it's for these two! XD;

And Raito had no problem using that to his full advantage. *nod nod* I'm with you all the way. Misa is probably the most annoying character when Deathnote begins and yet as the storyline progressed I felt myself pitying her (and so I tried to convey that here).

Because when it comes right down to it, she's messed up girl in love with probably one of the biggest users there is. Correction: biggest insane user. =D (So I'm very glad you thought I had their relationship down)

Anyway, my thanks for your kind words ^_^ (especially since neither you nor anybody else is actually a big fan of Raito/Misa; heck, even I'm not that big of a fan. ^_~)

P.S. Your icon is pure ♥

Wonderful fic! This is the kind of Light/Misa fic I love: twisted but somehow lovely. Thanks for sharing!

And thanks for your kind comment! ^_^

WOW! You know, I'm a bit of an oddball in the DN fandom, liking L/Misa and wanting to smack the Misa that lets herself get used by Light as he pretty much descends into madness. But this makes me appreciate Misa *AND* Light a little bit more; DN is nothing if not a window into the world being gray, rather than a stark contrast of black and white. So you did a damn good job at keeping that up, because I didn't feel particularly upset at any one point-- people were good, people were bad, they were crazy, manipulative, alluring, and well-written. Applause. You do it well in every fandom. ^_~

I ♥ your icon! XD

wanting to smack the Misa that lets herself get used by Light as he pretty much descends into madness Ditto! It's like all those abused!women novels...you just want to yank her by the arm and be like, "Stop! Don't do it! He's just a user!" (And yet you can't, and the story goes on T_T)

And I'm really glad you thought this "fit" the general tone of Deathnote! Thank you very muchly! =^_^= (Because it was lots of fun to write XD)

I'm so glad you liked this! ^_^ (and that you, too, always liked the fact that Light called out for Misa in the last chapter -- because that's always been a sort of "ohh!" moment for me in the dark, fabulous world of Deathnote! XD)

Thanks for reading! ♥

Wow! I'm really impressed. I'm not a huge Misa fan, although I never hated her, just felt sorry for her.

But, you did an amazing job. As a big Light fan, you especially captured lots of little things that make a huge difference to him! I loved the glimpses of Light inside Kira... almost as much as I loved the images of Kira swallowing Light whole as time went on.

Beautiful job!

I'm so glad you liked it! ^_^
